Mutation of Gly-94 in transmembrane segment M1 of Na+,K+-ATPase interferes with Na+ and K+ binding in E2P conformation.

abstract：:Disulfide bond formation is catalyzed in the periplasm of Escherichia coli. This process involves at least two proteins: DsbA and DsbB. Recent evidence suggests that DsbA, a soluble periplasmic protein directly catalyzes disulfide bond formation in proteins, whereas DsbB, an inner membrane protein, is involved in the ...
