The enlightening encounter between structure and function in the NhaA Na+-H+ antiporter

Trends in Biochemical Sciences
E Padan

Abstract

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 processes crucial for cell viability. Accordingly, antiporters are important drug targets in humans and underlie salt resistance in plants. Many Na(+)-H(+) antiporters are tightly regulated by pH. Escherichia coli NhaA, a prototype pH-regulated antiporter, exchanges 2H(+) for 1Na(+) (or Li(+)). The NhaA crystal structure has provided insight into the pH-regulated mechanism of antiporter action and revealed transmembrane segments, which are interrupted by extended mid-membrane chains that have since been found with variations in other ion-transport proteins. This novel structural fold creates a delicately balanced electrostatic environment in the middle of the membrane, which might be essential for ion binding and translocation.

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
