Rationale: The paper reports the cloning of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX1) from canine and characterizes its transporter activity.
Figure 1 reports an experiment where the NCX1 mRNA was injected in Xenopus oocytes (control- water injected). Na+ gradient-dependent labelled (45)Ca2+ uptake was measured under the following experimental conditions:
-internal Na+ was elevated by incubation with nystatin.
- the external solution contained 10 uM of labelled CaCl2 in a K+ medium, in the absence of external Na+.
Under these conditions, the labeled Ca2+ uptake was at least one order of magnitude greater than control or than previously observed in oocytes injected with poly(A)+ RNA from cardiac tissue (PMID: 2462361).
When the external K+ ions were exchanged for Na+, or when the nystatin treatment was omitted, only background uptake levels were observed, indicating the need for a Na+ gradient for the Ca2+ uptake.
Taken together, the experiment demonstrates that the identified cDNA codes for a Na+/Ca2+ exchanger.. Experimental description: Here we report the molecular cloning, expression, deduced amino acid sequence, and apparent molecular size of the canine cardiac sarcolemmal Na+-Ca2+ exchange protein.
