Figure 3. The involvement of the polar residues in Co2+ transport.

Figure 3

The growth activity of TmCorA with the Asn288, Thr295 and Thr299 mutated to either (A) leucine or (B) methionine was monitored in the presence of various Co2+ concentrations. A reduction in growth activity upon Co2+ concentration increase is indicative of the Co2+ transport activity of the TmCorA variant. The wild-type TmCorA (WT corA) and the empty CorA-less pBAD vector (corA-less) were used as positive and negative controls respectively. The results are the means±S.D. of at least three independent experiments.
