From the Departments of We have recently described a novel
K+-dependent
Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, NCKX2, that is abundantly
expressed in brain neurons (Tsoi, M., Rhee, K.-H., Bungard, D., Li,
X.-F., Lee, S.-L., Auer, R. N., and Lytton, J. (1998)
J. Biol. Chem. 273, 4115-4162). The precise role for
NCKX2 in neuronal Ca2+ homeostasis is not yet clearly
understood but will depend upon the functional properties of the
molecule. Here, we have performed whole-cell patch clamp analysis to
characterize cation dependences and ion stoichiometry for rat brain
NCKX2, heterologously expressed in HEK293 cells. Outward currents
generated by reverse NCKX2 exchange depended on external
Ca2+ with a K1/2 of 1.4 or 101 µM without or with 1 mM Mg2+, and
on external K+ with a K1/2 of about 12 or 36 mM with choline or Li+ as counter ion,
respectively. Na+ inhibited outward currents with a
K1/2 of about 60 mM. Inward currents
generated by forward NCKX2 exchange depended upon external
Na+ with a K1/2 of 30 mM
and a Hill coefficient of 2.8. K+ inhibited the inward
currents by a maximum of 40%, with a K1/2 of 2 mM or less, depending upon the conditions. The transport stoichiometry of NCKX2 was determined by observing the change in
reversal potential as individual ion gradients were altered. Our data
support a stoichiometry for rat brain NCKX2 of 4 Na+:(1
Ca2+ + 1 K+). These findings provide the first
electrophysiological characterization of rat brain NCKX2, and the first
evidence that a single recombinantly expressed NCKX polypeptide encodes
a K+-transporting Na+/Ca2+
exchanger with a transport stoichiometry of 4 Na+:(1
Ca2+ + 1 K+).
