We examined the effects of external H+ on the kinetics of Na+-H+ exchange in microvillus membrane vesicles isolated from the rabbit renal cortex. The initial rate of Na+ influx into vesicles with internal pH 6.0 was optimal at external pH 8.5 and was progressively inhibited as external pH was reduced to 6.0. A plot of 1/V versus [H+]o was linear and yielded apparent KH = 35 nM (apparent pK 7.5). In vesicles with internal pH 6.0 studied at external pH 7.5 or 6.6, apparent KNa was 13 or 54 mM, Ki for inhibition of Na+ influx by external Li+ was 1.2 or 5.2 mM, Ki for inhibition by external NH4+ was 11 or 50 mM, and Ki for inhibition by external amiloride was 7 or 25 microM, respectively. These findings were consistent with competition between each cation and H+ at a site with apparent pK 7.3-7.5. Lastly, stimulation of 22Na efflux by external Na+ (i.e. Na+-Na+ exchange) was inhibited as external pH was reduced from 7.5 to 6.0, also consistent with competition between external H+ and external Na+. Thus, in contrast with internal H+, which interacts at both transport and activator sites, external H+ interacts with the renal microvillus membrane Na+-H+ exchanger at a single site, namely the external transport site, where H+, Na+, Li+, NH4+, and amiloride all compete for binding.
