Abstract excerpt
The Na,K- and H,K-ATPases are plasma membrane enzymes responsible for the active exchange of extracellular K(+) for cytoplasmic Na(+) or H(+), respectively. At present, the structural determinants for the specific function of these ATPases remain poorly understood. To investigate the cation selectivity of these ATPases, we constructed a series of Na,K-ATPase mutants in which residues in the membrane spanning...
