Abstract excerpt
The Na(+)-Ca2+ exchanger contains internal regions of sequence homology known as the alpha repeats. The first region (alpha-1 repeat) includes parts of transmembrane segments (TMSs) 2 and 3 and a linker modeled to be a reentrant loop. To determine the involvement of the reentrant loop and TMS 3 portions of the alpha-1 repeat in exchanger function, we generated a series of mutants and examined ion binding and...
