Abstract

Isoform one of the mammalian Na+/H+ exchanger is a plasma membrane protein that is ubiquitously present in humans. It regulates intracellular pH through the removal of one intracellular proton in exchange for a single extracellular sodium. It consists of a 500 amino acid membrane domain plus a 315 amino acid, C-terminal tail. We examined amino acids of the C-terminal tail that are important in the targeting and activity of the protein. A previous study demonstrated that stop codon polymorphisms can result in decreased activity, expression, targeting and enhanced protein degradation. Here, we determine elements that are critical in these anomalies. A series of progressive deletions of the C-terminal tail demonstrated a progressive decrease in activity and targeting, though these remained until a final drop off with the deletion of amino acids 563-566. The deletion of the 562LIAGERS568 sequence or the alteration to the 562LAAAARS568 sequence caused the decreased protein expression, aberrant targeting, reduced activity and enhanced degradation of the Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE1) protein. The 562LIAGERS568 sequence bound to other regions of the C-terminal cytosolic domain. We suggest this region is necessary for the activity, targeting,...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
