Second, the hemorrhagic E. coli export this GABA

from their cell cytoplasm using a Glu-GABA antiporter
called GadC (this transmembrane protein channel is called
an antiporter because it transports two molecules across the

membrane in opposite directions).

However, to survive elsewhere in the human body, it pe
is important that the Glu-GABA antiporter of hemorrhagica
E. coli not function, lest it short-circuit metabolism. To see if
the GadC antiporter indeed functions only in acid environ-o
ments, investigators compared its activity at a variety of pHsno
with that of a different amino acid antiporter called AdiC,ob
which transports arginine out of cells under a broad b
range of conditions. The results of monitoring transport for
