| UniProt functional annotation for P0A334 | |||
| UniProt codes: P0A334, Q54397. |
| Organism: | Streptomyces lividans. | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Streptomycetales; Streptomycetaceae; Streptomyces. | |
| Function: | Acts as a pH-gated potassium ion channel; changing the cytosolic pH from 7 to 4 opens the channel, although it is not clear if this is the physiological stimulus for channel opening. Monovalent cation preference is K(+) > Rb(+) > NH4(+) >> Na(+) > Li(+). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7489706}. | |
| Subunit: | Homotetramer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11689936, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9525859}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. | |
| Domain: | The cytoplasmic C-terminus is involved in the gating mechanism. | |
| Disruption phenotype: | Cells grow slower and to lower myceliar densities. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7489706}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | The amino acids 62-79 are situated in the membrane and are important for channel structure and properties. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the potassium channel family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
