چکیده

The voltage dependence of the rat renal type II Na+/Pi cotransporter (NaPi-2) was investigated by expressing NaPi-2 in Xenopus laevis oocytes and applying the two-electrode voltage clamp. In the steady state, superfusion with inorganic phosphate (Pi) induced inward currents (Ip) in the presence of 96 mM Na+ over the potential range -140 </= V </= +40 mV. With Pi as the variable substrate, the apparent affinity constant (KmPi) was strongly dependent on Na+, increasing sixfold for a twofold reduction in external Na+. KmPi increased with depolarizing voltage and was more sensitive to voltage at reduced Na+. The Hill coefficient was close to unity and the predicted maximum Ip (Ipmax) was 40% smaller at 50 mM Na+. With Na+ as the variable substrate, KmNa was weakly dependent on both Pi and voltage, the Hill coefficient was close to 3 and Ipmax was independent of Pi at -50 mV. The competitive inhibitor phosphonoformic acid suppressed the steady state holding current in a Na+-dependent manner, indicating the existence of uncoupled Na+ slippage. Voltage steps induced pre-steady state relaxations typical for Na+-coupled cotransporters. NaPi-2-dependent relaxations were quantitated by a single, voltage-dependent exponential. At 96 mM Na+, a Boltzmann function was fit to the steady state charge distribution (Q-V) to give a midpoint voltage (V0.5) in the range -20 to -50 mV and an apparent valency of approximately 0.5 e-. V0.5 became more negative as Na+ was reduced. Pi suppressed relaxations in a dose-dependent manner, but had little effect on their voltage dependence. Reducing external pH shifted V0.5 to depolarizing potentials and suppressed relaxations in the absence of Na+, suggesting that protons interact with the unloaded carrier. These findings were incorporated into an ordered kinetic model whereby Na+ is the first and last substrate to bind, and the observed voltage dependence arises from the unloaded carrier and first Na+ binding step.

Substrate interactions in the human type IIa sodium-phosphate cotransporter (NaPi-IIa).

We have characterized the kinetics of substrate transport in the renal type IIa human sodium-phosphate cotransporter (NaPi-IIa). The transporter was expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes, and steady-state and pre-steady-state currents and substrate uptakes were characterized by voltage-clamp and isotope flux. First, by measuring simultaneous uptake of a substrate (32Pi, 22Na) and charge in voltag...

Cloning of a Na/Pi cotransporter from opossum kidney cells.

Opossum kidney (OK) cells have been extensively used to study cellular mechanisms of renal proximal tubular Na/P(i) cotransport. We have cloned a cDNA (NaPi-4) most likely encoding an apical Na/P(i) cotransporter from OK cells. The cloning strategy was based on homology to the recently cloned human renal (NaPi-3) Na/P(i) cotransporter (Magagnin, S., Werner, A., Markovich, D., Sorribas, V., Stan...

Parathyroid hormone-dependent degradation of type II Na+/Pi cotransporters.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) inhibits proximal tubular brush border membrane Na+/Pi cotransport activity; this decrease in the transport activity was found to be associated with a decrease in type II Na+/Pi cotransporter protein content in rat brush border membranes. In the present study we investigated the PTH-dependent regulation of the type II Na+/Pi cotransporter in opossum kidney cells, a pre...

Structure of murine and human renal type II Na+-phosphate cotransporter genes (Npt2 and NPT2).

Na+-phosphate (Pi) cotransport across the renal brush border membrane is the rate limiting step in the overall reabsorption of filtered Pi. Murine and human renal-specific cDNAs (NaPi-7 and NaPi-3, respectively) related to this cotransporter activity (type II Na+-Pi cotransporter) have been cloned. We now report the cloning and characterization of the corresponding mouse (Npt2) and human (NPT2)...

Characterization of a murine type II sodium-phosphate cotransporter expressed in mammalian small intestine.

An isoform of the mammalian renal type II Na/Pi-cotransporter is described. Homology of this isoform to described mammalian and nonmammalian type II cotransporters is between 57 and 75%. Based on major diversities at the C terminus, the new isoform is designed as type IIb Na/Pi-cotransporter. Na/Pi-cotransport mediated by the type IIb cotransporter was studied in oocytes of Xenopus laevis. The ...
