Abstract excerpt
The Na(+)/betaine carrier BetP from Corynebacterium glutamicum was purified and reconstituted in Escherichia coli phospholipid liposomes and its osmosensory properties were studied with respect to the cation specificity of osmotic activation. To dissect the influence of the co-substrate Na(+) on the energetics of uptake from its possible role as a putative trigger of osmolality-dependent BetP activation, the...
