Using small molecules to facilitate exchange of bicarbonate and chloride anions across liposomal membranes [PDF]
, 2009 Bicarbonate is involved in a wide range of biological processes, which include respiration, regulation of intracellular pH and fertilization. In this study we use a combination of NMR spectroscopy and ion-selective electrode techniques to show that the ...

Evolutionary Relationship between K+ Channels and Symporters [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 1999 The hypothesis is presented that at least four families of putative K(+) symporter proteins, Trk and KtrAB from prokaryotes, Trk1,2 from fungi, and HKT1 from wheat, evolved from bacterial K(+) channel proteins. Details of this hypothesis are organized around the recently determined crystal structure of a bacterial K(+) channel: i.

Thyroid Na+/I− Symporter [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1997 The rat thyroid Na+/I- symporter (NIS) was expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes and characterized using electrophysiological, tracer uptake, and electron microscopic methods. NIS activity was found to be electrogenic and Na+-dependent (Na+ >> Li+ >> H+).

Functional PTB phosphate transporters are present in streptophyte algae and early diverging land plants [PDF]
, 2017 International audienceTwo inorganic phosphate (Pi) uptake mechanisms operate in streptophytes and chloro-phytes, the two lineages of green plants. PHOSPHATE TRANSPORTER B (PTB) proteins are hypothesized to be the Na + /Pi symporters catalysing Pi uptake ...

Conformational Space and Dynamics of Sodium-Coupled Symporters [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2011 Secondary transporters utilize the free energy stored in the sodium gradient to move a solute against a concentration gradient. The transport process involves a sequence of conformational changes that exposes the substrate and ion binding sites alternatively to the extracellular and the intracellular compartment.
