Abstract
The complexity of the cellular medium can affect proteins' properties, and, therefore, in-cell characterization of proteins is essential. We explored the stability and conformation of the first baculoviral IAP repeat (BIR) domain of X chromosome-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP), BIR1, as a model for a homodimer protein in human HeLa cells. We employed double electron-electron resonance (DEER) spectroscopy and labeling with redox stable and rigid Gd3+ spin labels at three representative protein residues, C12 (flexible region), E22C, and N28C (part of helical residues 26 to 31) in the N-terminal region. In contrast to predictions by excluded-volume crowding theory, the dimer-monomer dissociation constant K D was markedly higher in cells than in solution and dilute cell lysate. As expected, this increase was partially recapitulated under conditions of high salt concentrations, given that conserved salt bridges at the dimer interface are critically required for association. Unexpectedly, however, also the addition of the crowding agent Ficoll destabilized the dimer while the addition of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and lysozyme, often used to represent interaction with charged macromolecules, had no effect. Our results highlight the potential of DEER for in-cell study of proteins as well as the complexities of the effects of the cellular milieu on protein structures and stability.

Expression of the human erythroid Rh glycoprotein (RhAG) enhances both NH3 and NH4+ transport in HeLa cells. Pflugers Arch 2005; 450:155-67.

Abstract
The erythroid Rh-associated glycoprotein (RhAG) is strictly required for the expression of the Rh blood group antigens carried by Rh (D,CE) proteins. A biological function for RhAG in ammonium transport has been suggested by its ability to improve survival of an ammonium-uptake-deficient yeast. We investigated the function of RhAG by studying the entry of NH3/NH4+ in HeLa cells transiently expressing the green fluorescent protein (GFP)-RhAG fusion protein and using a fluorescent proton probe to measure intracellular pH (pHi). Under experimental conditions that reduce the intrinsic Na/H exchanger activity, exposure of control cells to a 10 mM NH4Cl- containing solution induces the classic pHi response profile of cells having a high permeability to NH3 (PNH3) but relatively low permeability to NH4+ (PNH4). In contrast, under the same conditions, the pHi profile of cells expressing RhAG clearly indicated an increased PNH4, as evidenced by secondary reacidification during NH4Cl exposure and a pHi undershoot below the initial resting value upon its removal. Measurements of pHi during methylammonium exposure showed that RhAG expression enhances the influx of both the unprotonated and ionic forms of methylammonium. Using a mathematical model to adjust passive permeabilities for a fit to the pHi profiles, we found that RhAG expression resulted in a threefold increase of PNH4 and a twofold increase of PNH3. Our results are the first evidence that the human erythroid RhAG increases the transport of both NH3 and NH4+.

Abstract
Cell volumes decreased in HeLa cells as a function of time after seeding during exponential growth. Cell volume distributions revealed the presence of two cell populations in all stages of growth. When cells approached confluence, the ratio of the two populations abruptly shifted towards that characterised by the smallest volume. Percentages of G1-, S- and G2 + M-phase cells were also measured and it was found that G1 frequency increased as a function of cell density during exponential growth. Intracellular sodium concentration, [Na]i was monitored by 23Na NMR in the presence of 5 mM dysprosium (III) tripolyphosphate. [Na]i increased from 22.8 to 59.0 mM in cells from the second to the seventh day after seeding. Treatment with lonidamine, an antitumoral drug that it is known to slow down cell growth by affecting aerobic glycolysis, produced a complete block of cell progression after a few days of treatment. The progression of cell volume distributions towards smaller volumes and the increase in internal sodium concentration as a function of time after seeding were also affected by the drug. These phenomena were related to the existence of a subpopulation of mitotically inactive G1-phase cells during exponential growth, pointing out that a density-dependent cellular mechanism regulates the cell cycling in HeLa cells.

Abstract
A competition assay of 86Rb+ uptake in HeLa cells transfected with ouabain-resistant Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase mutants revealed a stimulation of 86Rb+ uptake at low external concentrations (1 mM) of competitor (K+). Of the models that were tested, those that require that two K+ be bound before transport occurs gave the worst fits. Random and ordered binding schemes described the data equally well. General models in which both binding and transport were allowed to be cooperative yielded parameter errors larger than the parameters themselves and could not be utilized. Models that assumed noncooperative transport always showed positive cooperativity in binding. E327Q and E327L mutated forms of rat alpha 2 had lower apparent affinities for the first K+ bound than did wild-type rat alpha 2 modified to be ouabain resistant. The mutations did not affect the apparent affinity of the second K+ bound. Models that assumed noncooperativity in binding always showed positively cooperative transport, i.e., enzymes with two K+ bound had a higher flux than those with one K+ bound. Increases in external Na+ decreased the apparent affinity for K+ for all models and decreased the ratio of the apparent influx rate constants for E327L.

Abstract
We examined the properties of Na+/K+/2Cl- cotransport in cultured mouse mTAL cells with respect to its kinetics, the contribution of K/K exchange to K fluxes mediated by the cotransporter, and [3H]bumetanide binding and turnover numbers in media with varying osmolality. The addition of bumetanide, the replacement of external Na+ or the replacement of external Cl- resulted in an almost identical (approx. 50%) decrease in K+ influx, suggesting that Na(+)-dependent, Cl(-)-dependent, BS K+ influx was a measure of Na+/K+/2Cl- cotransport. The kinetics of the BS K+ influx revealed a high affinity for external Na+ (apparent Km 7 mM) and external K+ (apparent Km 1.3 mM), but a very low affinity for external Cl- (apparent Km 67 mM with a two-site model). Of interest was the finding that none of the K+ (86Rb+) efflux was sensitive to bumetanide, suggesting the absence of cotransport mediated K/K exchange in this cell type. Specific [3H]bumetanide binding was a saturable function of free bumetanide concentration with a Kd of 0.20 microM and maximum binding (Bmax) of 0.63 pmol/mg, or about 53,000 sites per cell. Simultaneous transport and bumetanide binding assays yielded a turnover number of 255 min-1. The omission of external Na+, K+ or Cl- reduced specific [3H]bumetanide binding to values indistinguishable from zero. Changing medium osmolarity resulted in a co-ordinate change in BS K+ influx and bumetanide binding, with a monotonic increase in both transport and bumetanide binding with increase in osmolality from 200 to 400 mosmol/kg. About 85% of the cotransporter sites were located on the apical side, as in the intact mTAL tubule. The simultaneous measurement of BS ion transport and [3H]bumetanide binding in the mTAL cell may provide valuable insights into the regulation of Na+/K+/2Cl- cotransport in this nephron segment.

Abstract
To probe the mechanism by which intracellular ATP, Na+, and Cl- influence the activity of the NaK2Cl cotransporter, we measured bumetanide-sensitive (BS) 86Rb fluxes in the osteosarcoma cell line UMR-106-01. Under physiological gradients of Na+, K+, and Cl-, depleting cellular ATP by incubation with deoxyglucose and antimycin A (DOG/AA) for 20 min at 37 degrees C reduced BS 86Rb uptake from 6 to 1 nmol/mg protein per min. Similar incubation with 0.5 mM ouabain to inhibit the Na+ pump had no effect on the uptake, excluding the possibility that DOG/AA inhibited the uptake by modifying the cellular Na+ and K+ gradients. Loading the cells with Na+ and depleting them of K+ by a 2-3-h incubation with ouabain or DOG/AA increased the rate of BS 86Rb uptake to approximately 12 nmol/mg protein per min. The unidirectional BS 86Rb influx into control cells was approximately 10 times faster than the unidirectional BS 86Rb efflux. On the other hand, at steady state the unidirectional BS 86Rb influx and efflux in ouabain-treated cells were similar, suggesting that most of the BS 86Rb uptake into the ouabain-treated cells is due to K+/K+ exchange. The entire BS 86Rb uptake into ouabain-treated cells was insensitive to depletion of cellular ATP. However, the influx could be converted to ATP-sensitive influx by reducing cellular Cl- and/or Na+ in ouabain-treated cells to impose conditions for net uptake of the ions. The BS 86Rb uptake in ouabain-treated cells required the presence of Na+, K+, and Cl- in the extracellular medium. Thus, loading the cells with Na+ induced rapid 86Rb (K+) influx and efflux which, unlike net uptake, were insensitive to cellular ATP. Therefore, we suggest that ATP regulates a step in the turnover cycle of the cotransporter that is required for net but not K+/K+ exchange fluxes. Depleting control cells of Cl- increased BS 86Rb uptake from medium-containing physiological Na+ and K+ concentrations from 6 to approximately 15 nmol/mg protein per min. The uptake was blocked by depletion of cellular ATP with DOG/AA and required the presence of all three ions in the external medium. Thus, intracellular Cl- appears to influence net uptake by the cotransporter. Depletion of intracellular Na+ was as effective as depletion of Cl- in stimulating BS 86Rb uptake.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
The relative contributions of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase pumps and Na(+)-K(+)-Cl- cotransport to total rubidium (Rb+) influx into primary cultures of renal tubule cells (PC.RC) and cells transformed either with the wild-type or a temperature-sensitive mutant of the simian virus 40 (SV40), were measured under various growth conditions. The Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase-mediated component represented 74% and 44-48% of total Rb+ influx into PC.RC and SV40-transformed cells, respectively. Proliferating transformed cells showed substantial ouabain-resistant bumetanide-sensitive (Or-Bs) Rb+ influx (41-45% of total) which indicated the presence of a Na(+)-K(+)-Cl- cotransport. The Or-Bs component of Rb+ influx was greatly reduced when temperature-sensitive transformed renal cells (RC.SVtsA58) grown in Petri dishes or on permeable filters were shifted from the permissive (33 degrees C) to the restrictive temperature (39.5 degrees C) to arrest cell growth. The ouabain-sensitive Rb+ influx mediated by the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, the total and amiloride-sensitive Na+ uptakes were not modified following inhibition of cell proliferation. A similar fall in the Or-Bs influx was obtained when renal tubule cells transformed by the wild-type SV40 (RC.SV) were incubated with the K+ channel blocker, tetraethylammonium (TEA) ion, which we had previously shown to arrest cell growth without affecting cell viability (Teulon et al.: J. Cell. Physiol., 151:113-125, 1992). Reinitiation of cell growth by removal of TEA or return to 33 degrees C of the temperature-sensitive cells restored the Or-Bs component of Rb influx. Taken together, these results indicate that the Na(+)-K(+)-Cl- cotransport activity is critically dependent on cell growth conditions.

Abstract
The mechanisms by which 86Rb+ (used as a tracer for K+) enters human nonpigmented ciliary epithelial cells were investigated. Ouabain-inhibitable bumetanide-insensitive 86Rb+ transport accounted for approximately 70-80% of total, whereas bumetanide-inhibitable ouabain-insensitive uptake accounted for 15-25% of total. K+ channel blockers such as BaCl2 reduced uptake by approximately 5%. Bumetanide inhibited 86Rb+ uptake with an IC50 of 0.5 microM, while furosemide inhibited with an IC50 of about 20 microM. Bumetanide-inhibitable 86Rb+ uptake was reduced in Na(+)-free or Cl(-)-free media, suggesting that Na+ and Cl- were required for optimal uptake via this mechanism. These characteristics are consistent with a Na+, K+, Cl- cotransporter in NPE cells. Treatment of NPE cells for 15 min with phorbol 12-myristate, 13-acetate (PMA), an activator of protein kinase C, caused a 50-70% decrease in 86Rb+ uptake via the Na+, K+, Cl- cotransporter. Other 86Rb+ uptake mechanisms were not affected. 86Rb+ uptake via the Na+, K+, Cl- cotransporter could be inhibited by other phorbol esters and by dioctanoylglycerol, an analog of diacylglycerol, but not by 4 alpha phorbol didecanoate, an ineffective activator of protein kinase C. Staurosporine, a protein kinase C inhibitor, blocked phorbol ester inhibition of 86Rb+ uptake. These data suggest that a Na+, K+, Cl- cotransporter in NPE cells is inhibited by activation of protein kinase C.

Abstract
The hormonal regulation of a Na(+)-K(+)-Cl- cotransport was investigated in a renal tubule cell line (RC.SV2 cells) transformed by the simian virus 40. This cell line has the main characteristics of cells from the thick ascending limb of Henle, including the presence of Tamm-Horsfall protein and stimulation of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) production by calcitonin (CT). Kinetic studies with 22Na+, 36Cl-, and 86Rb+ indicated the existence of a Na(+)-K(+)-Cl- cotransport with a stoichiometry of 1Na+:1K+: 2Cl-. All compounds stimulating cAMP production enhanced the ouabain-resistant bumetanide-sensitive (Or-Bs) Rb+ influx mediated by Na(+)-K(+)-Cl- cotransport. CT (100 ng/ml) increased the Or-Bs influx twofold by enhancing maximum velocity without changing the apparent Michaelis constant. The K(+)-channel blocker barium blunted the CT-stimulated Or-Bs influx by 64-74%, whereas the Cl(-)-channel blocker 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoate reduced the CT-stimulated influx by 28-40%. These results suggest that CT stimulates the Na(+)-K(+)-Cl- cotransport by a cAMP-dependent mechanism and that K+ recycling through K+ membrane channels is an important modulator of cotransporter-mediated ion fluxes.

Abstract
We compared the pattern of K+ channels and the mitogenic sensitivity to K+ channel blocking agents in primary cultures of rabbit proximal tubule cells (PC.RC) (Ronco et al., 1990) and two derived SV-40-transformed cell lines exhibiting specific functions of proximal (RC.SV1) and more distal (RC.SV2) tubule cells (Vandewalle et al., 1989). First, K+ channel equipment surveyed by the patch-clamp technique was modified after SV-40 transformation in both cell lines; although a high conductance Ca(2+)-activated K+ channel [K+200 (Ca2+)] remained the most frequently recorded K+ channel, the transformed state was characterized by emergence of three Ca(2+)-insensitive K+ channels (150, 50, and 30 pS), virtually absent from primary culture, contrasting with reduced frequency of two Ca(2+)-sensitive K+ channels (80 and 40 pS). Second, quinine (Q), tetraethylammonium ion (TEA) and charybdotoxin (CTX), at concentrations not affecting cell viability, all decreased 3H-TdR incorporation and cell growth in PC.RC cultures, but only TEA had similar effects in transformed cells. The latter were further characterized by paradoxical effects of Q that induced a marked increase in thymidine incorporation. Q also exerted contrasting effects on channel activity: it inhibited the [K+200 (Ca2+)] when the channel was highly active, with a Ki (0.2 mM) similar to that measured for 3H-TdR incorporation in PC.RC cells (0.3 mM), but increased the mean current through poorly active channels. TEA blocked all K+ channels with conductance greater than or equal to 50 pS, including the [K+200 (Ca2+)], in a range of concentrations that substantially affected cell proliferation. The unique effect of TEA on SV-40-transformed cells might be related to broad inhibition of K+ channels.

Abstract
We have previously reported on the biochemical properties of a Na+,K+,2Cl-cotransport system in HeLa cells and here we deal with aspects of its physiological regulation. Na+,K+,2Cl-cotransport in HeLa cells was studied by 86Rb+ influx and 86Rb+/22Na+ efflux measurements. The effects of rat atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), isoproterenol, and amino acids on 86Rb+ flux, mediated by the bumetanide-sensitive Na+,K+,2Cl-cotransport system and the ouabain-sensitive Na+/K(+)-pump, were investigated. ANP reduced bumetanide-sensitive 86Rb+ influx under isotonic as well as under hypertonic conditions. Similar decrease of bumetanide-sensitive 86Rb+ influx was observed in the presence of 8-bromo-cGMP, while neither isoproterenol as a beta-receptor agonist nor 8-bromo-cAMP-could alter bumetanide-sensitive 86Rb+ influx. Furthermore, efflux of 86Rb+ and 22Na+ was greatly reduced in the presence of bumetanide and ANP. Together with our recent findings, showing functionally active, high affinity receptors for ANP on HeLa cells (Kort and Koch, Biochim. Biophys. Res. Commun. 168: 148-154, 1990), this study indicates that ANP participates in the regulation of the Na+,K+,2Cl-cotransport system in HeLa cells. Further measurements revealed that amino acids as present in the growth medium (Joklik's minimal essential medium) and the amino acid derivative alpha-methyl-aminoisobutyric acid (metAIB, 1 and 5 mM, respectively) also reduced Na+,K+,2Cl-cotransport-mediated 86Rb+ uptake and diminished the stimulatory effect of hypertonicity on the contransporter. In addition, the Na+/K(+)-pump was markedly stimulated in the presence of amino acids, while neither ANP and 8-Br-GMP nor isoproterenol and 8-Br-cAMP had a significant effect on the activity of the Na+/K(+)-pump.

Abstract
Cultured HeLa cells display specific binding sites for atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP). Studies with [125I]-(1-28)-rat ANP revealed the presence of a single class of high affinity binding sites on HeLa cells: The apparent dissociation constant (Kd) was 5 nM and the maximal number was 29,000 sites/cell as derived from Scatchard analysis. Furthermore, ANP elevates levels of cGMP in a dose dependent manner with an EC50 close to the Kd for [125I]ANP binding. ANP-mediated elevation of cellular cGMP leads to a significant reduction of bumetanide-sensitive Na+, K+, 2Cl(-)-cotransport in HeLa cells, studied by 22Na+ and 86Rb+ influx measurements. These data indicate (1) that distinct functionally active receptors for ANP are present on HeLa cells and (2) ANP influences the activity of Na+,K+,2Cl(-)-cotransport in these cells.
