Abstract excerpt
The Na+/H+ antiporter NhaA is the main Na+ extrusion system in E. coli. Using direct current measurements combined with a solid supported membrane (SSM), we obtained electrical data of the function of NhaA purified and reconstituted in liposomes. These measurements demonstrate NhaA's electrogenicity, its specificity for Li+ and Na+ and its pronounced pH dependence in the range pH 6.5-8.5. The mutant G338S, in...
