Kdp-dependent Kplus homeostasis of the halophilic archaeon Halobacterium salinarum
Halobacteria balance high external osmolality by the accumulation of almost equimolar amounts of KCl. Thus, steady Kplus supply is a vital prerequisite for life of these extreme halophiles. So far, Kplus was supposed to enter the cell only passively by use of potential-driven uniporters. However, th...
