2.A.3.7.1
Glutamate:γ-aminobutyrate antiporter of 477 aas and 12 TMSs, GadC.  Expression of gadCB in L. lactis in the presence of chloride is increased when the culture pH decreases to low levels, while glutamate stimulated gadCB expression (Sanders et al. 1998). These genes encode a glutamate-dependent acid resistance mechanism that is optimally active when needed for acid neutralization.

Species:Lactococcus lactis (subsp [416870]
