Mutations in amino acids within two modeled inhibitor binding sites of human NHE1 were studied, revealing changes in sensitivity to inhibitor EMD87580 in certain mutants.
Mammalian Na+/H+ exchanger isoform one (NHE1) is a plasma membrane protein responsible for pH regulation in mammalian cells. Excess activity of the protein promotes heart disease and is a trigger of metastasis in cancer. Inhibitors of the protein exist but problems in specificity have delayed their clinical application. Here we examined amino acids involved in two modeled inhibitor binding sites (A, B) in human NHE1. Twelve mutations (Asp159, Phe348, Ser351, Tyr381, Phe413, Leu465, Gly466, Tyr467, Leu468, His473, Met476, Leu481) were made and characterized. Mutants S351A, F413A, Y467A, L468A, M476A and L481A had 40-70% of wild type expression levels, while G466A and H473A expressed 22% similar to 30% of the wild type levels. Most mutants, were targeted to the cell surface at levels similar to wild type NHE1, approximately 50-70%, except for F413A and G466A, which had very low surface targeting. Most of the mutants had measurable activity except for D159A, F413A and G466A. Resistance to inhibition by EMD87580 was elevated in mutants F438A, L465A and L468A and reduced in mutants S351A, Y381A, H473A, M476A and L481A. All mutants with large alterations in inhibitory properties showed reduced Na+ affinity. The greatest changes in activity and inhibitor sensitivity were in mutants present in binding site B which is more closely associated with TM4 and C terminal of extracellular loop 5, and is situated between the putative scaffolding domain and transport domain. The results help define the inhibitor binding domain of the NHE1 protein and identify new amino acids involved in inhibitor binding.
