Implications for Cation Selectivity and Evolution by a Novel Cation Diffusion Facilitator Family Member From the Moderate Halophile Planococcus dechangensis

Implications for Cation Selectivity and Evolution by a Novel Cation Diffusion Facilitator Family Member From the Moderate Halophile Planococcus dechangensis

In the cation diffusion facilitator (CDF) family, the transported substrates are confined to divalent metal ions, such as Zn2+, Fe2+, and Mn2+. However, this study identifies a novel CDF member designated MceT from the moderate halophile Planococcus dechangensis. MceT functions as a Na+(Li+, K+)/H+...
