KefF, the regulatory subunit of the potassium efflux system KefC, shows quinone oxidoreductase activity.
Escherichia coli and many other Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria protect themselves from the toxic effects of electrophilic compounds by using a potassium efflux system (Kef). Potassium efflux is coupled to the influx of protons, which lowers the internal pH and results in immediate protection. The...
