Extracellular Cl(-) regulates human SO4 (2-)/anion exchanger SLC26A1 by altering pH sensitivity of anion transport.

ABSTRACT: Genetic deficiency of the SLC26A1 anion exchanger in mice is known to be associated with hyposulfatemia and hyperoxaluria with nephrolithiasis, but many aspects of human SLC26A1 function remain to be explored. We report here the functional characterization of human SLC26A1, a 4,4'-diisothiocyanato-2,2'-stilbenedisulfonic acid (DIDS)-sensitive, electroneutral sodium-independent anion exchanger transporting sulfate, oxalate, bicarbonate, thiosulfate, and (with divergent properties) chloride. Human SLC26A1-mediated anion exchange differs from that of its rodent orthologs in its stimulation by alkaline pHo and inhibition by acidic pHo but not pHi and in its failure to transport glyoxylate. SLC26A1-mediated transport of sulfate and oxalate is highly dependent on allosteric activation by extracellular chloride or non-substrate anions. Extracellular chloride stimulates apparent V max of human SLC26A1-mediated sulfate uptake by conferring a 2-log decrease in sensitivity to inhibition by extracellular protons, without changing transporter affinity for extracellular sulfate. In contrast to SLC26A1-mediated sulfate transport, SLC26A1-associated chloride transport is activated by acid pHo, shows reduced sensitivity to DIDS, and exhibits cation dependence of its DIDS-insensitive component. Human SLC26A1 resembles SLC26 paralogs in its inhibition by phorbol ester activation of protein kinase C (PKC), which differs in its undiminished polypeptide abundance at or near the oocyte surface. Mutation of SLC26A1 residues corresponding to candidate anion binding site-associated residues in avian SLC26A5/prestin altered anion transport in patterns resembling those of prestin. However, rare SLC26A1 polymorphic variants from a patient with renal Fanconi Syndrome and from a patient with nephrolithiasis/calcinosis exhibited no loss-of-function phenotypes consistent with disease pathogenesis.

Project description:Mosquito larvae use a digestive strategy that is relatively rare in nature. The anterior half of the larval mosquito midgut has a luminal pH that ranges between 10.5 and 11.5. Most other organisms, both large and small, initiate digestion in an acid medium. The relative uniqueness of the highly alkaline digestive strategy has been a long-standing research focus in larval lepidopterans. More recently, the disease vector potential of mosquitoes has fueled specific interest in larval mosquito biology and the alkaline digestive environment in the midgut. The probable principle anion influencing the highly alkaline gut lumen is bicarbonate/carbonate. Bicarbonate/carbonate is regulated at least in part by the activity of carbonic anhydrases. Hence, we have focused attention on the carbonic anhydrases of the mosquito larva. Anopheles gambiae, the major malaria mosquito of Africa, is an organism with a published genome which has facilitated molecular analyses of the 12 carbonic anhydrase genes annotated for this mosquito. Microarray expression analyses, tissue-specific quantitative RT-PCR, and antibody localization have been used to generate a picture of carbonic anhydrase distribution in the larval mosquito. Cytoplasmic, GPI-linked extracellular membrane-bound and soluble extracellular carbonic anhydrases have been located in the midgut and hindgut. The distribution of the enzymes is consistent with an anion regulatory system in which carbonic anhydrases provide a continuous source of bicarbonate/carbonate from the intracellular compartments of certain epithelial cells to the ectoperitrophic space between the epithelial cells and the acellular membrane separating the food bolus from the gut cells and finally into the gut lumen. Carbonic anhydrase in specialized cells of the hindgut (rectum) probably plays a final role in excretion of bicarbonate/carbonate into the aquatic environment of the larva. Detection and characterization of classic anion exchangers of the SLC4A family in the midgut has been problematic. The distribution of carbonic anhydrases in the system may obviate the requirement for such transporters, making the system more dependent on simple carbon dioxide diffusion and ionization via the activity of the enzyme.
