Abstract excerpt
KefC is a glutathione-gated K(+)-efflux system that is widespread in Gram-negative bacteria and which plays a role in the protection of cells from the toxic effects of electrophilic reagents, such as N-ethylmaleimide (NEM). The KefC gene from Escherichia coli has been cloned and the DNA sequenced...
