Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that the activity of NhaA is regulated by pH and found mutations that affect dramatically the pH dependence of the rate but not the K(m) (for Na(+) and Li(+)) of NhaA. In the present work, we found that helix IV is involved both in ion translocation as well as in pH regulation of NhaA. Two novel types of NhaA mutants were found clustered in trans membrane segment (TMS) IV: One type...
