The activity of the
Na+/H+ exchanger NHE3 isoform, which is
found primarily in epithelial cells, is sensitive to the state of actin
polymerization. Actin assembly, in turn, is controlled by members of
the small GTPase Rho family, namely Rac1, Cdc42, and RhoA. We therefore
investigated the possible role of these GTPases in modulating NHE3
activity. Cells stably expressing NHE3 were transiently transfected
with inhibitory forms of Rac1, Cdc42, or RhoA and transport activity
was assessed using microfluorimetry. NHE3 activity was not adversely
affected by either dominant-negative Rac1 or Cdc42. By contrast, the
inhibitory form of RhoA greatly depressed NHE3 activity, without
noticeably altering its subcellular distribution. NHE3 activity was
equally reduced by inhibiting p160 Rho-associated kinase I (ROK), a
downstream effector of RhoA, with the selective antagonist Y-27632 and
a dominant-negative form of ROK. Furthermore, inhibition of ROK reduced
the phosphorylation of myosin light chain. A comparable net
dephosphorylation was achieved by the myosin light chain kinase
inhibitor ML9, which similarly inhibited NHE3. These data suggest that
optimal NHE3 activity requires a functional RhoA-ROK signaling pathway
which acts, at least partly, by controlling the phosphorylation of
myosin light chain and, ultimately, the organization of the actin cytoskeleton.
