Mutational analysis of amiloride sensitivity of the NhaA Na+/H+ antiporter from Vibrio parahaemolyticus.
The activity of the NhaA Na+/H+ antiporter of Vibrio parahaemolyticus is inhibited by amiloride. We found an amino acid sequence in the NhaA that was identical to a putative amiloride binding domain of the Na+/H+ exchanger in mammalian cells. We constructed mutant NhaAs that had amino acid substitutions in the putative amiloride binding domain by site-directed mutagenesis. These include V62L (V...
متن کاملFunctional analysis of conserved polar residues in Vc-NhaD, Na+/H+ antiporter of Vibrio cholerae.
Vc-NhaD is a Na(+)/H(+) antiporter from Vibrio cholerae with a sharp maximum of activity at pH approximately 8.0. NhaD homologues are present in many bacteria as well as in higher plants. However, very little is known about structure-function relations in NhaD-type antiporters. In this work 14 conserved polar residues associated with putative transmembrane segments of Vc-NhaD have been screened...
متن کاملNorM, a putative multidrug efflux protein, of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and its homolog in Escherichia coli.
We found that cells of Vibrio parahaemolyticus possess an energy-dependent efflux system for norfloxacin. We cloned a gene for a putative norfloxacin efflux protein from the chromosomal DNA of V. parahaemolyticus by using an Escherichia coli mutant lacking the major multidrug efflux system AcrAB as the host and sequenced the gene (norM). Cells of E. coli transformed with a plasmid carrying the ...
متن کاملVmrA, a member of a novel class of Na(+)-coupled multidrug efflux pumps from Vibrio parahaemolyticus.
Gene vmrA, cloned from Vibrio parahaemolyticus, made Escherichia coli resistant to 4',6-diamino-2-phenylindol, tetraphenylphosphonium chloride, acriflavine, and ethidium bromide. VmrA belongs to the DinF branch of MATE family efflux transporters. VmrA catalyzed acriflavine efflux and showed Na(+)/drug transporter activity because the addition of tetraphenylphosphonium to Na(+)-loaded cells caus...
متن کاملRespiration-driven Na+ pump and Na+ circulation in Vibrio parahaemolyticus.
Sodium circulation in Vibrio parahaemolyticus was investigated. We observed respiration-driven Na+ extrusion from cells by using a Na+ electrode. The Na+ extrusion was insensitive to a proton conductor, carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone, and sensitive to a respiratory inhibitor, CN-. These results support the idea of the existence of a respiratory Na+ pump in V. parahaemolyticus. The res...
