Abstract excerpt
The bacterial Na+ (Li+)/H+ antiporter NhaA has been expressed in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. NhaA was present in both the plasma membrane and internal membranes, and it conferred lithium but not sodium tolerance. In cells containing the yeast Ena1-4 (Na+, Li+) extrusion ATPase, the extra...
