Description
The gene,NhaA, is the archetypal sodium-proton antiporter in E. coli. It is the only member of the family that is absolutely required by E. coli for survival in high-salt conditions, under alkaline stress, or in the presence of otherwise toxic Li+ concentration.
NhaA catalyzes the exchange of 2 H+ per Na+. Therefore, nhaA could make sure E. coli???s survival under alkaline pH, which are in desperate need in our project.
Notes
None.
