چکیده
Two monovalent ion porters, the putative Na+/H+ antiporter (NapA) of Enterococcus hirae and the putative K+/H+ antiporter (KefC) of Escherichia coli, are similar in sequence throughout their hydrophobic domains. These two proteins, which comprise a novel family of transporters unrelated to the previously characterized Na+/H+ exchangers of E. coli (NhaA and NhaB) are proposed to function by essentially the same mechanism.

A Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant lacking a K+/H+ exchanger.
The KHA1 gene corresponding to the open reading frame YJL094c (2.62 kb) encoding a putative K+/H+ antiporter (873 amino acids) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was disrupted by homologous recombination. The core protein is similar to the putative Na+/H+ antiporters from Enterococcus hirae (NAPA gene) and Lactococcus lactis (LLUPP gene) and the putative K+/H+ exchanger from Escherichia coli (KEFC gen...
متن کاملFunctional 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 کاملCloning and disruption of a putative NaH-antiporter gene of Enterococcus hirae.
When growing in a sodium-rich environment, wild-type Enterococcus hirae extrudes sodium by two mechanisms, ATP-driven sodium extrusion, and NaH-antiport. Mutant 7683 is unable to grow on sodium-rich media. This is due to two mutations, one inactivating ATP-driven sodium transport and a second rendering NaH-antiport inoperative. 7683 was transformed by electroporation with a gene bank, derived f...
متن کاملAn iron-regulated gene, magA, encoding an iron transport protein of Magnetospirillum sp. strain AMB-1.
Magnetospirillum sp. AMB-1 is a freshwater magnetic bacterium which synthesizes intracellular particles of magnetite (Fe3O4). A genomic DNA fragment required for synthesis of magnetic particles was previously isolated from a nonmagnetic transposon Tn5 mutant. We have determined the complete nucleotide sequence of this fragment. The 2975-base pair region contains two putative open reading frames...
