Abstract
Phosphoinositide phospholipases C (PLCs) are a family of eukaryotic intracellular enzymes with important roles in signal transduction. In addition to their location at the plasma membrane, PLCs also exist within the cell nucleus where they are stored. We previously demonstrated that OSBP-related protein 4L (ORP4L) anchors cluster of differentiation 3ϵ (CD3ϵ) to the heterotrimeric G protein subunit (Gαq/11) to control PLCβ3 relocation and activation. However, the underlying mechanism by which ORP4L facilitates PLCβ3 translocation remains unknown. Here, using confocal immunofluorescence microscopy and coimmunoprecipitation assays, we report that ORP4L stimulates PLCβ3 translocation from the nucleus to the plasma membrane in Jurkat T-cells in two steps. First, we found that ORP4L is required for the activation of Ras-related nuclear protein (RAN), a GTP-binding nuclear protein that binds to exportin 1 and eventually promotes the nuclear export of PLCβ3. Second, we also observed that ORP4L interacts with vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein A (VAPA) through its two phenylalanines in an acidic tract (FFAT) motif. This complex enabled PLCβ3 movement to the plasma membrane, indicating that PLCβ3 translocation occurs in a VAPA-dependent manner. This study reveals detailed mechanistic insight into the role of ORP4L in PLCβ3 redistribution from storage within the nucleus to the plasma membrane via RAN activation and interaction with VAPA in Jurkat T-cells.

A new cell-penetrating peptide that blocks the autoinhibitory XIP domain of NCX1 and enhances antiporter activity. Mol Ther 2014; 23:465-76.

Abstract
The plasma membrane Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX) is a high-capacity ionic transporter that exchanges 3Na(+) ions for 1Ca(2+) ion. The first 20 amino acids of the f-loop, named exchanger inhibitory peptide (XIP(NCX1)), represent an autoinhibitory region involved in the Na(+)-dependent inactivation of the exchanger. Previous research has shown that an exogenous peptide having the same amino acid sequence as the XIP(NCX1) region exerts an inhibitory effect on NCX activity. In this study, we identified another regulatory peptide, named P1, which corresponds to the 562-688aa region of the exchanger. Patch-clamp analysis revealed that P1 increased the activity of the exchanger, whereas the XIP inhibited it. Furthermore, P1 colocalized with NCX1 thus suggesting a direct binding interaction. In addition, site-directed mutagenesis experiments revealed that the binding and the stimulatory effect of P1 requires a functional XIP(NCX1) domain on NCX1 thereby suggesting that P1 increases the exchanger activity by counteracting the action of this autoinhibitory sequence. Taken together, these results open a new strategy for developing peptidomimetic compounds that, by mimicking the functional pharmacophore of P1, might increase NCX1 activity and thus exert a therapeutic action in those diseases in which an increase in NCX1 activity might be helpful.

Abstract
NCX proteins explore the electrochemical gradient of Na(+) to mediate Ca(2+)-fluxes in exchange with Na(+) either in the Ca(2+)-efflux (forward) or Ca(2+)-influx (reverse) mode, whereas the directionality depends on ionic concentrations and membrane potential. Mammalian NCX variants (NCX1-3) and their splice variants are expressed in a tissue-specific manner to modulate the heartbeat rate and contractile force, the brain's long-term potentiation and learning, blood pressure, renal Ca(2+) reabsorption, the immune response, neurotransmitter and insulin secretion, apoptosis and proliferation, mitochondrial bioenergetics, etc. Although the forward mode of NCX represents a major physiological module, a transient reversal of NCX may contribute to EC-coupling, vascular constriction, and synaptic transmission. Notably, the reverse mode of NCX becomes predominant in pathological settings. Since the expression levels of NCX variants are disease-related, the selective pharmacological targeting of tissue-specific NCX variants could be beneficial, thereby representing a challenge. Recent structural and biophysical studies revealed a common module for decoding the Ca(2+)-induced allosteric signal in eukaryotic NCX variants, although the phenotype variances in response to regulatory Ca(2+) remain unclear. The breakthrough discovery of the archaebacterial NCX structure may serve as a template for eukaryotic NCX, although the turnover rates of the transport cycle may differ ~10(3)-fold among NCX variants to fulfill the physiological demands for the Ca(2+) flux rates. Further elucidation of ion-transport and regulatory mechanisms may lead to selective pharmacological targeting of NCX variants under disease conditions.

Abstract
The SLC8 gene family encoding Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchangers (NCX) belongs to the CaCA (Ca(2+)/Cation Antiporter) superfamily. Three mammalian genes (SLC8A1, SLC8A2, and SLC8A3) and their splice variants are expressed in a tissue-specific manner to mediate Ca(2+)-fluxes across the cell-membrane and thus, significantly contribute to regulation of Ca(2+)-dependent events in many cell types. A long-wanted mitochondrial Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger has been recently identified as NCLX protein, representing a gene product of SLC8B1. Distinct NCX isoform/splice variants contribute to excitation-contraction coupling, long-term potentiation of the brain and learning, blood pressure regulation, immune response, neurotransmitter and insulin secretion, mitochondrial bioenergetics, etc. Altered expression and regulation of NCX proteins contribute to distorted Ca(2+)-homeostasis in heart failure, arrhythmia, cerebral ischemia, hypertension, diabetes, renal Ca(2+) reabsorption, muscle dystrophy, etc. Recently, high-resolution X-ray structures of Ca(2+)-binding regulatory domains of eukaryotic NCX and of full-size prokaryotic NCX have become available and the dynamic properties have been analyzed by advanced biophysical approaches. Molecular silencing/overexpression of NCX in cellular systems and organ-specific KO mouse models provided useful information on the contribution of distinct NCX variants to cellular and systemic functions under various pathophysiological conditions. Selective inhibition or activation of predefined NCX variants in specific diseases might have clinical relevance, although this breakthrough has not yet been realized. A better understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms as well as the development of in vitro procedures for high-throughput screening of "drug-like" compounds may lead to selective pharmacological targeting of NCX variants.

Abstract
In squid nerves, MgATP modulation of the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger requires the presence of a cytosolic protein which becomes phosphorylated during the process. This factor has been recently identified. Mass spectroscopy and Western blot analysis established that it is a member of the lipocalin superfamily of lipid-binding proteins (LBP or FABP) of 132 amino acids. We called it regulatory protein of squid nerve sodium/calcium exchanger (ReP1-NCXSQ, access to GenBank EU981897).ReP1-NCXSQ was cloned, expressed, and purified. Circular dichroism, far-UV, and infrared spectroscopy suggest a secondary structure, predominantly of beta-sheets. The tertiary structure prediction provides ten beta-sheets and two alpha-helices, characteristic of most of LPB. Functional experiments showed that, to be active, ReP1-NCXSQ must be phosphorylated by MgATP, through the action of a kinase present in the plasma membrane. Moreover, PO4-ReP1-NCXSQ can stimulate the exchanger in the absence of ATP. An additional crucial observation was that, in proteoliposomes containing only the purified Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger, PO4-ReP1-NCXSQ promotes activation; therefore, this upregulation has no other requirement than a lipid membrane and the incorporated exchanger protein.Recently, we solved the crystal structure of ReP1-NCXSQ which was as predicted: a "barrel" consisting of ten beta-sheets and two alpha-helices. Inside the barrel is the fatty acid coordinated by hydrogen bonds with Arg126 and Tyr128. Point mutations showed that neither Tyr20Ala, Arg58Val, Ser99Ala, nor Arg126Val is necessary for protein phosphorylation or activity. On the other hand, Tyr128 is essential for activity but not for phosphorylation. We can conclude that (1) for the first time, a role of an LBP is demonstrated in the metabolic regulation of an ion exchanger; (2) phosphorylation of this LBP can be separated from the activation capacity; and (3) Tyr128, a candidate to coordinate lipid binding inside the barrel, is essential for activity.

PROGRESS IN BIOPHYSICS AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2011; 108:47-63.

Abstract
The Na⁺/Ca²⁺ exchangers are structural membrane proteins, essential for the extrusion of Ca²⁺ from most animal cells. Apart from the transport sites, they have several interacting ionic and metabolic sites located at the intracellular loop of the exchanger protein. One of these, the intracellular Ca²⁺ regulatory sites, are essential and must be occupied by Ca²⁺ to allow any type of ion (Na⁺ or Ca²⁺) translocation. Intracellular protons and Na⁺ are inhibitory by reducing the affinity of the regulatory sites for Ca²⁺; MgATP stimulates by antagonizing H⁺ and Na⁺. We have proposed a kinetic scheme to explain all ionic and metabolic regulation of the squid nerve Na⁺/Ca²⁺ exchanger. This model uniquely accounts for most of the new kinetic data provided here; however, none of the existing models can explain the trans effects of the Ca(i)²⁺-regulatory sites on external cation transport sites; i.e. all models are incomplete. MgATP up-regulation of the squid Na⁺/Ca²⁺ exchanger requires a cytosolic protein, which has been recently identified as a member of the lipocalin super family of Lipid Binding Proteins (LBP or FABP) of 132 amino acids (ReP1-NCXSQ, access to GenBank EU981897). This protein was cloned, expressed and purified. To be active, ReP1-NCXSQ must be phosphorylated from MgATP by a kinase present in the plasma membrane. Phosphorylated ReP1-NCXSQ can stimulate the exchanger in the absence of ATP. Experiments with proteoliposomes proved that this up-regulation can take place just with the lipid membrane and the exchanger protein. The structure of ReP1-NCXSQ predicted from the amino acid sequence has been confirmed by X-ray crystal analysis; it has a "barrel" formed by ten beta sheets and two alpha helices, with a lipid coordinated by hydrogen bonds with Arg 126 and Tyr 128.

Abstract
In inside-out bovine heart sarcolemmal vesicles, p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonate (PCMBS) and n-ethylmaleimide (NEM) fully inhibited MgATP up-regulation of the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX1) and abolished the MgATP-dependent PtdIns-4,5P2 increase in the NCX1-PtdIns-4,5P2 complex; in addition, these compounds markedly reduced the activity of the PtdIns(4)-5kinase. After PCMBS or NEM treatment, addition of dithiothreitol (DTT) restored a large fraction of the MgATP stimulation of the exchange fluxes and almost fully restored PtdIns(4)-5kinase activity; however, in contrast to PCMBS, the effects of NEM did not seem related to the alkylation of protein SH groups. By itself DTT had no effect on the synthesis of PtdIns-4,5P2 but affected MgATP stimulation of NCX1: moderate inhibition at 1mM MgATP and 1μM Ca(2+) and full inhibition at 0.25mM MgATP and 0.2μM Ca(2+). In addition, DDT prevented coimmunoprecipitation of NCX1 and PtdIns(4)-5kinase. These results indicate that, for a proper MgATP up-regulation of NCX1, the enzyme responsible for PtdIns-4,5P2 synthesis must be (i) functionally competent and (ii) set in the NCX1 microenvironment closely associated to the exchanger. This kind of supramolecular structure is needed to optimize binding of the newly synthesized PtdIns-4,5P2 to its target region in the exchanger protein.
