Abstract

Cysteine residues were found nonessential in the mechanism of the NhaA antiporter activity of Escherichia coli. The functional C-less NhaA has provided the groundwork to study further histidine 225 of NhaA which has previously been suggested to play an important role in the activation of NhaA at alkaline pH (Rimon, A., Gerchman, Y., Olami, Y., Schuldiner, S. and Padan, E. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 26813-26817). C-less H225C was constructed and shown to possess an antiporter activity 60% of that of C-less antiporter and a pH profile similar to that of both the C-less or wild-type antiporters. Remarkably, whereas neither the wild-type nor the C-less antiporters were affected by N-ethylmaleimide, C-less H225C was inhibited by this reagent. To determine the degree of alkylation of the antiporter protein by N-ethylmaleimide, antiporter derivatives tagged at their C termini with six histidines residues were constructed. Alkylation of C-less H225C was measured by labeling of everted membrane vesicles with [14C]N-ethylmaleimide, affinity purification of the His-tagged antiporter, and determination of the radioactivity of the purified protein. This assay showed that H225C is alkylated to a much higher level than any of the native cyste...Continue Reading
