Abstract excerpt
Cells employ membrane-embedded antiporter proteins to control their pH, salt concentration, and volume. The large family of cation/proton antiporters is dominated by Na+/H+ antiporters that exchange sodium ions against protons, but homologous K+/H+ exchangers have recently been characterized. We show experimentally that the electroneutral antiporter NhaP1 of Methanocaldococcus jannaschii (MjNhaP1) is highly...
