Functional expression of the Enterococcus hirae NaH-antiporter in Escherichia coli.
We recently described the cloning of napA, the putative structural gene for the NaH-antiporter of Enterococcus hirae (Waser, M., Bienz-Hess, D., Davies, K., and Solioz, M. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 5396-5400). To analyze the gene product of napA, we expressed it in Escherichia coli. When placed under the control of a T7 promoter, napA could be transcribed and labeled specifically with [35S]met...
متن کاملArginine-agmatine antiporter in extreme acid resistance in Escherichia coli.
The process of arginine-dependent extreme acid resistance (XAR) is one of several decarboxylase-antiporter systems that protects Escherichia coli and possibly other enteric bacteria from exposure to the strong acid environment of the stomach. Arginine-dependent acid resistance depends on an intracellular proton-utilizing arginine alpha-decarboxylase and a membrane transport protein necessary fo...
متن کاملAmiloride-sensitive Na+-H+ antiporter in Escherichia coli.
In everted vesicles of Escherichia coli, delta pH caused by H+ efflux through the Na+/H+ antiporter was measured by using a fluorescent dye. Amiloride inhibited the activity of the Na+/H+ antiporter. Kinetic studies showed that amiloride competed with Na+. The inhibition constant of 40 microM was obtained.
متن کاملMolecular Characterization and Antimicrobial Resistance of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli
Background:Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are the most common infectious diseases in childhood. The Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains account for as much as 80% of UTIs. Objective:From a clinical perspective, it is important to know which virulence factors and antibiotic resistance properties are present in UPEC strains in pediatrics. Therefore, this study was carried out...
متن کاملANTIPORTER NhaA FROM ESCHERICHIA COLI. AN ELECTROPHYSIOLOGICAL STUDY*
gradient for activation, both the wt and the pH-shifted G338S variant exhibit highly symmetrical transport activity with bell shaped pH dependencies, but the optimal pH was shifted 1.8 pH units to the acidic range in the variant. In both strains the pH dependence was associated with a systematic increase of the Km for Na + at acidic pH. Under symmetrical Na + concentration with a pH gradient fo...
