Ionic selectivity and thermal adaptations within the voltage-gated sodium channel family of alkaliphilic Bacillus

Entry and extrusion of cations are essential processes in living cells. In alkaliphilic prokaryotes, high external pH activates voltage-gated sodium channels (Na(v)), which allows Na(+) to enter and be used as substrate for cation/proton antiporters responsible for cytoplasmic pH homeostasis. Here,...
