| UniProt functional annotation for O32080 | |||
| UniProt code: O32080. |
| Organism: | Bacillus subtilis (strain 168). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus. | |
| Function: | Catalytic subunit of the KtrAB potassium uptake transporter. The 2 major potassium transporter complexes KtrAB and KtrCD confer resistance to both suddenly imposed and prolonged osmotic stress. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12562800}. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer, tetramer (dimer of homodimer) and octamer (tetramer of homodimer). Part of the KtrAB complex formed by an octameric catalytic ring of KtrA and a membrane associated dimer of KtrB forming a potassium channel. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12086676, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16990138}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Disruption phenotype: | Impaired potassium uptake. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12562800}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the KtrA potassium transport family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
