Abstract excerpt
The H+-translocating inorganic pyrophosphatase is a proton pump that hydrolyzes inorganic pyrophosphate. It consists of a single polypeptide with 14-17 transmembrane domains, and is found in a range of organisms. We focused on the second quarter region of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) H+-pyrophosphatase, which contains long conserved cytoplasmic loops. We prepared a library of 1536 mutants that were assayed for...
