Escherichia coli NhaR controls expression of a sodium/proton (Na+/H+) antiporter, NhaA. The Vibrio cholerae NhaR protein shows over 60% identity to those of Escherichia coli and Salmonella enteritidis. V. cholerae NhaR complements an E. coli nhaR mutant for growth in 100 mM LiCl-33 mM NaCl, pH 7.6, and enhances the Na+-dependent induction of an E. coli chromosomal nhaA::lacZ fusion. These findings indicate functional homology to E. coli NhaR. Two V. cholerae nhaR mutants were constructed by usin ...[more]
