Wide distribution of homologs of Escherichia coli Kdp K super(+)-ATPase among gram-negative bacteria

The authors used Southern blotting to screen a variety of bacterial genes for homology to the kdp genes of Escherichia coli , genes that encode an ATP-driven K super(+) transport system. They found that most enterobacteria have sequences homologous to those of the three kdp) structural genes and the...

Description
Summary:The authors used Southern blotting to screen a variety of bacterial genes for homology to the kdp genes of Escherichia coli , genes that encode an ATP-driven K super(+) transport system. They found that most enterobacteria have sequences homologous to those of the three kdp) structural genes and the kdpD regulatory gene. A number of distantly related species, including some cyanobacteria, have sequences homologous to those of the structural genes but not the regulatory gene.
