Abstract excerpt
The glycine betaine carrier BetP from Corynebacterium glutamicum was recently shown to function as both an osmosensor and osmoregulator in proteoliposomes made from Escherichia coli phospholipids by sensing changes in the internal K+ concentration as a measure of hyperosmotic stress (Rübenhagen, R., Morbach, S., and Krämer, R. (2001) EMBO J. 20, 5412-5420). Furthermore, evidence was provided that a stretch of 25...
