A putative role for the plasma membrane potential in the control of the expression of the gene encoding the tomato high-affinity potassium transporter HAK5
A chimeric CaHAK1–LeHAK5 transporter with only 15 amino acids of CaHAK1 in the N-terminus mediates high-affinity K+ uptake in yeast cells. Kinetic and expression analyses strongly suggest that LeHAK5 mediates a s...
