The plasma membrane Na+/H+ exchanger 1 is activated in response to various extrinsic factors, and this process is regulated by an intracellular pH-sensing mechanism. To identify the candidate residues responsible for intracellular pH regulation, we analyzed the functional properties of engineered Na+/H+ exchanger 1 mutants with charge-reversal mutations of charged residues located in the intracellular loops. Na+/H+ exchanger 1 mutants with mutations at 11 positions were well expressed in the plasma membrane, but that with E247R was not, suggesting that Glu247 is important for the functional expression of Na+/H+ exchanger 1. Charge-reversal mutations of Glu131 (E131R, E131K) and Arg327 (R327E) resulted in a shift in the intracellular pH dependence of the exchange activity measured by 22Na+ uptake to the acidic side, and it abolished the response to growth factors and a hyperosmotic medium; however, mutations of Asp448 (D448R) and Arg500 (R500E) slightly shifted it to the alkaline side. In E131R, in addition to the change in intracellular pH dependence, the affinities for extracellular Na+, Li+ and the inhibitor 5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl)amiloride significantly increased. Furthermore, charge-conserved mutation of E131 (E131D) was found to have no effect, whereas charge neutralization (E131Q) resulted in a slight acidic shift of exchange. These results support the view that the multiple charged residues identified in this study, along with several basic residues reported previously, participate in the regulation of the intracellular pH sensing of Na+/H+ exchanger 1. In addition, Glu131 may also be important for cation transport.
