Actin-dependent regulation of the cardiac Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger.
In the present study, the bovine cardiac Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX1.1) was expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells. The surface distribution of the exchanger protein, externally tagged with the hemagglutinin (HA) epitope, was associated with underlying actin filaments in regions of cell-to-cell contact and also along stress fibers. After we treated cells with cytochalasin D, NCX1.1 protein c...
متن کاملFrequency-dependent regulation of cardiac Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger.
The activity of the cardiac Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX1.1) undergoes continuous modulation during the contraction-relaxation cycle because of the accompanying changes in the electrochemical gradients for Na(+) and Ca(2+). In addition, NCX1.1 activity is also modulated via secondary, ionic regulatory mechanisms mediated by Na(+) and Ca(2+). In an effort to evaluate how ionic regulation influenc...
متن کاملGender influences [Ca(2+)](i) during metabolic inhibition in myocytes overexpressing the Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger.
BACKGROUND The Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX) may contribute to Ca(2+) overload and injury in ischemic cardiomyocytes. Recently, NCX overexpression was reported to increase ischemia/reperfusion injury in male and oophorectomized female but not in female mice. We therefore measured the effects of gender and estrogen on [Ca(2+)](i) and [Na(+)](i) during metabolic inhibition (MI) in myocytes from wi...
متن کاملA flagellar K(+)-dependent Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger keeps Ca(2+) low in sea urchin spermatozoa.
The metabolism, flagellar beating, and acrosome reaction of spermatozoa are regulated by ion flux across the plasma membrane. As is true of most cells, swimming sperm maintain intracellular Ca(2+) concentrations at submicromolar levels. Here we describe a K(+)-dependent Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (suNCKX) from sea urchin sperm. The suNCKX is phylogenetically related to other NCKXs, which use high r...
متن کاملIncreased Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger in the failing heart.
Heart failure (HF) is a significant problem, affecting more than 2 million people in the United States alone.1 When severe, it is associated with a 50% 2-year mortality rate attributable to either contractile dysfunction or sudden death from ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation.1 The underlying molecular mechanisms have not yet been defined, but there is considerable evidence fr...
