Abstract excerpt
NhaB-like antiporters were the second described class of Na(+)/H(+) antiporters, identified in bacteria more than 20 years ago. While nhaB-like gene sequences have been found in a number of bacterial genomes, only a few of the NhaB-like antiporters have been functionally characterized to date. Although earlier studies have identified a few pH-sensitive and -insensitive NhaB-like antiporters, the mechanisms that...
