| Abstract | The electrogenic Na+/bicarbonate cotransporter (NBCe1) of the Slc4 gene family is a powerful regulator of intracellular pH (pHi) and extracellular pH (pHo), and contributes to solute reabsorption and secretion in many epithelia. Using Xenopus laevis oocytes expressing NBCe1 variants, we have previously reported that the phospholipid phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) directly stimulates NBCe1-A in an excised macropatch, and indirectly stimulates NBCe1-B and -C in the intact oocyte primarily through inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3)/Ca2+. In the current study, we used the two-electrode voltage-clamp technique alone or in combination with pH/voltage-sensitive microelectrodes or confocal fluorescence imaging of plasma membrane PIP2 to characterize the PIP2 sensitivity of NBCe1-B and -C in whole oocytes by co-expressing a voltage-sensitive phosphatase (VSP) that decreases PIP2 and bypasses the InsP3/Ca2+ pathway. An oocyte depolarization that activated VSP only transiently stimulated the NBCe1-B/C current, consistent with an initial rapid depolarization-induced NBCe1 activation, and then a subsequent slower VSP-mediated NBCe1 inhibition. Upon repolarization, the NBCe1 current decreased, and then slowly recovered with an exponential time course that paralleled PIP2 resynthesis as measured with a PIP2-sensitive fluorophore and confocal imaging. A subthreshold depolarization that minimally activated VSP caused a more sustained increase in NBCe1 current, and did not lead to an exponential current recovery following repolarization. Similar results were obtained with oocytes expressing a catalytically dead VSP mutant at all depolarized potentials. Depleting endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ did not inhibit the NBCe1 current recovery following repolarization from VSP activation, demonstrating that changes in InsP3/Ca2+ were not responsible. This study demonstrates for the first time that depleting PIP2 per se inhibits NBCe1 activity. The data in conjunction with previous findings implicate a dual PIP2 regulatory pathway for NBCe1 involving both PIP2 itself and generated InsP3/Ca2+. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
