Determinants of cardiac Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger temperature dependence: NH(2)-terminal transmembrane segments.
The cardiac Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX) in trout exhibits profoundly lower temperature sensitivity in comparison to the mammalian NCX. In this study, we attempt to characterize the regions of the NCX molecule that are responsible for its temperature sensitivity. Chimeric NCX molecules were constructed using wild-type trout and canine NCX cDNA and expressed in Xenopus oocytes. NCX-mediated curr...
متن کاملCharacterization of the 70 kDa polypeptide of the Na/Ca exchanger.
The Na/Ca exchanger is associated with 160, 120 and 70 kDa polypeptides whose nature is poorly understood. We have purified and characterized the Na/Ca exchanger from bovine cardiac sarcolemmal vesicles (SLVs) by using ion-exchange and affinity chromatographies. The Na/Ca exchanger-enriched fraction was reconstituted into asolectin liposomes [lipid to protein ratio 10:1 (w/w)] that showed Na/Ca...
متن کاملcDNA cloning and expression of the cardiac Na+/Ca2+ exchanger from Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) reveal a teleost membrane transporter with mammalian temperature dependence.
The complete cDNA sequence of the tilapia cardiac Na(+)/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX-TL1.0) was determined. The 3.1-kb transcript encodes a protein 957 amino acids in length, with a predicted signal peptide cleaved at residue 31 and two potential N-glycosylation sites in the extracellular N terminus. Hydropathy analysis and sequence comparison predicted a mature protein with nine transmembrane-spanning ...
متن کاملThe topology of the C-terminal sections of the NCX1 Na+/Ca2+ exchanger and the NCKX2 Na+/Ca2+-K+ exchanger
Mammalian Na (+) /Ca ( 2+) (NCX) and Na (+) /Ca ( 2+) -K (+) exchangers (NCKX) are polytopic membrane proteins that play critical roles in calcium homeostasis in many cells. Although hydropathy plots for NCX and NCKX are very similar, reported topological models for NCX1 and NCKX2 differ in the orientation of the three C-terminal transmembrane segments (TMS). NCX1 is thought to have 9 TMS and a...
متن کاملAllosteric Activation of Sodium–Calcium Exchange Activity by Calcium: Persistence at Low Calcium Concentrations
The activity of the cardiac Na /Ca 2 exchanger is stimulated allosterically by Ca 2 , but estimates of the half-maximal activating concentration have varied over a wide range. In Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing the cardiac Na /Ca 2 exchanger, the time course of exchange-mediated Ca 2 influx showed a pronounced lag period followed by an acceleration of Ca 2 uptake. Lag periods were absent...
