GlsA and GadC form an acid resistance system sufficient to protect E. coli from acid stress in the pressence of glutamine (Lu, 2013). The crystal structure and functional characterization of the E. coli O157:H7 glutamate-gamma-aminobutyric acid antiporter GadC was determined and is identical in sequence to the K-12 enzyme (Ma, 2012).
