the 140-QIPRVAKARNL-150 ATP binding motif in KdpC is deleted completely, resulting in mutant DELTAQ-L, cells comprising a deletion of the signature motif showed no growth if the potassium concentration drops below 5 mM. The mutations generated result in different phenotypes with respect to tolerance of potassium limitation, overview |
Escherichia coli |
Q140A |
site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant is still able to tolerate extreme potassium limitations below 0.1 mM, but shows 38% reduced growth compared to the wild-type |
Escherichia coli |
Q140A/R143A/V144A/A145S/A147S/R148A/L150A |
site-directed mutagenesis of the complete 140-QIPRVAKARNL-150 ATP binding motif in KdpC, the mutant cells comprising a complete exchange of the signature motif show no growth if the potassium concentration drops below 5 mM |
Escherichia coli |
Q140E |
site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant is still able to tolerate extreme potassium limitations below 0.1 mM, but shows 38% reduced growth compared to the wild-type |
Escherichia coli |
Q140N |
site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant is still able to tolerate extreme potassium limitations below 0.1 mM, but shows 12% reduced growth compared to the wild-type |
