Abstract

The stoichiometry with which the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, NCX1, binds and transports Na+ and Ca2+ has dramatic consequences for ionic homeostasis and cellular function of heart mycocytes and brain neurons, where the exchanger is highly expressed. Previous studies have examined this question using native NCX1 in its endogenous environment. We describe here whole-cell voltage clamp studies using recombinant rat heart NCX1.1 expressed heterologously in HEK-293 cells. This system provides the advantages of a high level of NCX1 protein expression, very low background ion transport levels, and excellent control over clamped voltage and ionic composition. Using ionic conditions that allowed bi-directional currents, voltage ramps were employed to determine the reversal potential for NCX1.1-mediated currents. Analysis of the relation between reversal potential and external [Na+] or [Ca2+], under a variety of intracellular conditions, yielded coupling ratios for Na+ of 1.9-2.3 ions per net charge and for Ca2+ of 0.45 +/- 0.03 ions per net charge. These data are consistent with a stoichiometry for the NCX1.1 protein of 4 Na+ to 1 Ca2+ to 2 charges moved per transport cycle.

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.
