Na+/H+ exchanger 1 (NHE1) regulates intracellular pH, Na+ content and cell volume. Calcineurin B homologous protein 1 (CHP1) serves as an essential cofactor which facilitates NHE1 exchange activity under physiological conditions by direct binding to the cytoplasmic juxtamembrane region of NHE1. Here, we describe the solution structure of the cytoplasmic juxtamembrane region of NHE1 complexed with CHP1. The region of NHE1 forms an amphipathic helix, which is induced by CHP1 binding, and CHP1 possesses a large hydrophobic cleft formed by EF-hand helices. The apolar side of the NHE1 helix participates in extensive hydrophobic interactions with the cleft of CHP1. We suggest that helix formation of the cytoplasmic region of NHE1 by CHP1 is a prerequisite for generating the active form of NHE1. The molecular recognition detailed in this report also provides the novel insight into the target binding mechanism of EF-hand proteins.
