Abstract excerpt
The Na(+)/dicarboxylate co-transporter, NaDC-1, couples the transport of sodium and Krebs cycle intermediates, such as succinate and citrate. Previous studies identified two functionally important amino acids, Glu-475 and Cys-476, located in transmembrane domain (TMD) 9 of NaDC-1. In the present study, each amino acid in TMD-9 was mutated to cysteine, one at a time, and the accessibility of the...
