Membrane intrinsic transport systems play an important role in maintaining ion and pH
homeostasis and forming the proton motive force in the cytoplasm and cell organelles. In …

Potassium (K) is a major essential element in plant cells, and KUP/HAK/KT-type K+
transporters participate in the absorption of K+ into roots and in the long-distance transport …

Arabidopsis thaliana contains the putative K+ efflux transporters KEA1-KEA6, similar to KefB
and KefC of Escherichia coli. KEA1-KEA3 are involved in the regulation of photosynthetic …

Escherichia coli K-12 possesses two versions of Trk/Ktr/HKT-type potassium ion (K+)
transporters, TrkG and TrkH. The current paradigm is that TrkG and TrkH have largely …

Cesium (Cs+) is known to compete with the macronutrient potassium (K+) inside and outside
of plants and to inhibit plant growth at high concentrations. However, the detailed molecular …

137Cs+ is strongly radioactive, and has extremely high environmental mobility. It is thus a
highly hazardous pollutant; meanwhile, it is also a useful resource in medical therapy …

Two novel, halotolerant strains of Martelella soudanensis, NC18 T and NC20, were isolated
from deep subsurface sediment, deeply sequenced, and comparatively analyzed with …

Soil microbial biomass (microbial biomass) contains substantial amounts of potassium (K)
as a reservoir of K in soils. However, information about K dynamics and K flux through the …

In March 2011, an accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant led to major
problems, including the release of radionuclides such as Cesium (Cs)-137 into the …

Arabidopsis thaliana contains five tandem-pore domain potassium channels, TPK1-TPK5
and the related one-pore domain potassium channel, KCO3. Although KCO3 is unlikely to …
