Abstract excerpt
The Na+/H+ antiporter from Helicobacter pylori (HP NhaA) is normally active within the pH range 6.0-8.5. In contrast, the NhaA from Escherichia coli (EC NhaA) is active only within the alkaline pH range 7.5-8.5. We studied structures of HP NhaA involved in ion transport and pH sensing by analyzing mutants with defects in NhaA activity. The 36 mutants were classified into three types. The first type exhibited very...
