Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Kdp, one of three saturable K(+) uptake systems in Escherichia coli, is the system with the highest affinity for K(+) and the only one whose expression is strongly controlled by medium K(+) concentration. Expression is controlled by a two-component system of KdpD, the sensor kinase, and KdpE, the response regulator. There is general agreement that expression occurs when the growth rate of cells begins...
