Abstract
Background: Cell pH and Na+ homeostasis requires Na +/H+ antiporters such as NhaA. Results: Mutational analysis and ITC measurements revealed the NhaA-Li+ binding site. Conclusion: Binding of Li+ to purified NhaA is enthalpy-driven, highly specific, and pH-dependent and involves a single binding site. Significance: The pH-dependent NhaA-ligand binding is an insight into the mechanism of activity of NhaA and possibly other antiporters.
