Regulation of NhaA by protons.

Abstract excerpt

H(+), a most common ion, is involved in very many biological processes. However, most proteins have distinct ranges of pH for function; when the H(+) concentration in the cells is too high or too low, protons turn into very potent stressors to all cells. Therefore, all living cells are strictly dependent on homeostasis mechanisms that regulate their intracellular pH. Na(+)/H(+) antiporters play primary role in pH...
