Protein phylogenetic analysis of Ca2+/cation antiporters and insights into their evolution in plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012 Cation transport is a critical process in all organisms and is essential for mineral nutrition, ion stress tolerance, and signal transduction. Transporters that are members of the Ca2+/Cation Antiporter (CaCA) superfamily are involved in the transport of

Prediction of membrane transport proteins and their substrate specificities using primary sequence information. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Membrane transport proteins (transporters) move hydrophilic substrates across hydrophobic membranes and play vital roles in most cellular functions. Transporters represent a diverse group of proteins that differ in topology, energy coupling mechanism ...

The functions of plant cation/proton antiporters
Biologia Plantarum, 2018 The cation/H+ exchange is a basic process in transmembrane transport. The acquisition of genome sequences has now established that plants possess genes encoding a large number of cation/proton antiporter 1 (CPA1) proteins, few of which have been ...
