Structural highlights
Function[KBP_ECOLI] Highly specific potassium binding protein that is required for normal growth in the presence of high levels of external K(+). May act as a sensor of cytoplasmic K(+) concentration. Binds a single K(+) ion, which induces a large conformational change. Can also bind the larger alkali metal ions Rb(+) and Cs(+), and NH(4)(+) (PubMed:27112601). May be involved in the regulation of peptidoglycan cross-linking (PubMed:25422305).[1] [2] [GFP_AEQVI] Energy-transfer acceptor. Its role is to transduce the blue chemiluminescence of the protein aequorin into green fluorescent light by energy transfer. Fluoresces in vivo upon receiving energy from the Ca(2+)-activated photoprotein aequorin. References
