Functional analysis of the Na+,K+/H+ antiporter PeNHX3 from the tree halophyte Populus euphratica in yeast by model-guided mutagenesis.

Na+,K+/H+ antiporters are H+-coupled cotransporters that are crucial for cellular homeostasis. Populus euphratica, a well-known tree halophyte, contains six Na+/H+ antiporter genes (PeNHX1-6) that have been shown to function in salt tolerance. However, the catalytic mechanisms governing their ion tr...
