Abstract
Escherichia coli TrkG and TrkH transporters contain a unique N-terminal Domain-0 (D0). Our findings reveal that D0 supports both the function and stability of TrkG, enabling K+ and Na+ uptake, whereas it is not essential for TrkH-mediated K+ uptake. This difference can be attributed to D0 role in stabilizing polar residues within TrkG core transmembrane domains.
