The corrected sequence of the trkH gene of Escherichia coli predicts that the TrkH protein is a hydrophobic membrane protein of 483 amino acid residues, of which 41% are identical to those of the homologous and functionally analogous TrkG protein. These two proteins form the transmembrane component of the Trk system for the uptake of K+. Each protein alone is sufficient for high-level Trk activity. When Trk is assembled with the TrkG protein, Rb+ and K+ are transported with a Km near or below 1 ...[more]
