| Abstract | Ion transport and regulation were studied in two, alternatively spliced isoforms of the Na+-Ca2+ exchanger from Drosophila melanogaster. These exchangers, designated CALX1.1 and CALX1.2, differ by five amino acids in a region where alternative splicing also occurs in the mammalian Na+-Ca2+ exchanger, NCX1. The CALX isoforms were expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes and characterized electrophysiologically using the giant, excised patch clamp technique. Outward Na+-Ca2+ exchange currents, where pipette Ca2+ o exchanges for bath Na+ i, were examined in all cases. Although the isoforms exhibited similar transport properties with respect to their Na+ i affinities and current–voltage relationships, significant differences were observed in their Na+ i- and Ca2+ i-dependent regulatory properties. Both isoforms underwent Na+ i-dependent inactivation, apparent as a time-dependent decrease in outward exchange current upon Na+ i application. We observed a two- to threefold difference in recovery rates from this inactive state and the extent of Na+ i-dependent inactivation was approximately twofold greater for CALX1.2 as compared with CALX1.1. Both isoforms showed regulation of Na+-Ca2+ exchange activity by Ca2+ i, but their responses to regulatory Ca2+ i differed markedly. For both isoforms, the application of cytoplasmic Ca2+ i led to a decrease in outward exchange currents. This negative regulation by Ca2+ i is unique to Na+-Ca2+ exchangers from Drosophila, and contrasts to the positive regulation produced by cytoplasmic Ca2+ for all other characterized Na+-Ca2+ exchangers. For CALX1.1, Ca2+ i inhibited peak and steady state currents almost equally, with the extent of inhibition being ≈80%. In comparison, the effects of regulatory Ca2+ i occurred with much higher affinity for CALX1.2, but the extent of these effects was greatly reduced (≈20–40% inhibition). For both exchangers, the effects of regulatory Ca2+ i occurred by a direct mechanism and indirectly through effects on Na+ i-induced inactivation. Our results show that regulatory Ca2+ i decreases Na+ i-induced inactivation of CALX1.2, whereas it stabilizes the Na+ i-induced inactive state of CALX1.1. These effects of Ca2+ i produce striking differences in regulation between CALX isoforms. Our findings indicate that alternative splicing may play a significant role in tailoring the regulatory profile of CALX isoforms and, possibly, other Na+-Ca2+ exchange proteins. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
