Characterization of a novel two-component Na+(Li+, K+)/H+ antiporter from Halomonas zhaodongensis

Abstract In this study, genomic DNA was screened for novel Na+/H+ antiporter genes from Halomonas zhaodongensis by selection in Escherichia coli KNabc lacking three major Na+/H+ antiporters. Co-expression of two genes designated umpAB, encoding paired homologous unknown membrane proteins belonging t...
