Topological analysis of NhaA, a Na+/H+ antiporter from Escherichia coli.
Analysis of the hydropathic profile of the amino acid sequence of NhaA, a Na+/H+ antiporter from Escherichia coli has previously suggested the existence of 11 putative transmembrane segments (Taglicht, D., Padan, E., and Schuldiner, S. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 11289-11294). In the present work to test the location of the C terminus, right-side-out and inside-out membrane vesicles were digeste...
متن کاملPhysiological role of nhaB, a specific Na+/H+ antiporter in Escherichia coli.
The nhaB gene which codes for Na+/H+ antiporter activity in Escherichia coli was recently cloned (Pinner, E., Padan, E., and Schuldiner, S. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 11064-11068). In order to elucidate the role of nhaB in Na+ and H+ ions physiology and its interaction with nhaA, we generated mutants in which the chromosomal gene has been inactivated by insertion/deletion. A mutant devoid of bo...
متن کاملNhaA crystal structure: functional-structural insights.
Na(+)/H(+) antiporters are integral membrane proteins that exchange Na(+) for H(+) across the cytoplasmic membrane and many intracellular membranes. They are essential for Na(+), pH and volume homeostasis, which are crucial processes for cell viability. Accordingly, antiporters are important drug targets in humans and underlie salt-resistance in plants. Many Na(+)/H(+) antiporters are tightly r...
متن کاملThe Ec-NhaA antiporter switches from antagonistic to synergistic antiport upon a single point mutation
The Na(+), Li(+)/H(+) antiporter of Escherichia coli (Ec-NhaA) maintains pH, Na(+) homeostasis in enterobacteria. We used isothermal titration calorimetry to perform a detailed thermodynamic analysis of Li(+) binding to Ec-NhaA and several of its mutants. We found that, in line with the canonical alternative access mechanistic model of secondary transporters, Li(+)/H(+) binding to the antiporte...
متن کاملTransport Mechanism and pH Regulation of the Na+/H+ Antiporter NhaA from Escherichia coli
Using an electrophysiological assay the activity of NhaA was tested in a wide pH range from pH 5.0 to 9.5. Forward and reverse transport directions were investigated at zero membrane potential using preparations with inside-out and right side-out-oriented transporters with Na(+) or H(+) gradients as the driving force. Under symmetrical pH conditions with a Na(+) gradient for activation, both th...
