Abstract
Ca2+ homeostasis is essential for cell function and survival. As such, the cytosolic Ca2+ concentration is tightly controlled by a wide number of specialized Ca2+ handling proteins. One among them is the Na+ -Ca2+ exchanger (NCX), a ubiquitous plasma membrane transporter that exploits the electrochemical gradient of Na+ to drive Ca2+ out of the cell, against its concentration gradient. In this critical role, this secondary transporter guides vital physiological processes such as Ca2+ homeostasis, muscle contraction, bone formation, and memory to name a few. Herein, we review the progress made in recent years about the structure of the mammalian NCX and how it relates to function. Particular emphasis will be given to the mammalian cardiac isoform, NCX1.1, due to the extensive studies conducted on this protein. Given the degree of conservation among the eukaryotic exchangers, the information highlighted herein will provide a foundation for our understanding of this transporter family. We will discuss gene structure, alternative splicing, topology, regulatory mechanisms, and NCX's functional role on cardiac physiology. Throughout this article, we will attempt to highlight important milestones in the field and controversial topics where future studies are required. © 2021 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
Previously, we reported that repeated oral administration of etoposide (ETP) activates the ezrin/radixin/moesin (ERM) scaffold proteins for P-glycoprotein (P-gp) via Ras homolog gene family member A (RhoA)/Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase (ROCK) signaling, leading to increased ileal P-gp expression. Recent studies indicate that phosphatidyl inositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2] regulates the plasma-membrane localization of certain proteins, and its synthase, the type I phosphatidyl inositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase (PI4P5K), is largely controlled by RhoA/ROCK. Here, we examined whether PtdIns(4,5)P2 and PI4P5K are involved in the increased expression of ileal P-gp following the ERM activation by ETP treatment. Male ddY mice (4-week-old) were treated with ETP (10 mg/kg/day, per os, p.o.) for 5 days. Protein-expression levels were measured by either western blot or dot blot analysis and molecular interactions were assessed using immunoprecipitation assays. ETP treatment significantly increased PI4P5K, ERM, and P-gp expression in the ileal membrane. This effect was suppressed following the coadministration of ETP with rosuvastatin (a RhoA inhibitor) or fasudil (a ROCK inhibitor). Notably, the PtdIns(4,5)P2 expression in the ileal membrane, as well as both P-gp and ERM levels coimmunoprecipitated with anti-PtdIns(4,5)P2 antibody, were increased by ETP treatment. PtdIns(4,5)P2 and PI4P5K may contribute to the increase in ileal P-gp expression observed following the ETP treatment, possibly through ERM activation via the RhoA/ROCK pathway.

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
Phosphoinositides (PIs) make up only a small fraction of cellular phospholipids, yet they control almost all aspects of a cell's life and death. These lipids gained tremendous research interest as plasma membrane signaling molecules when discovered in the 1970s and 1980s. Research in the last 15 years has added a wide range of biological processes regulated by PIs, turning these lipids into one of the most universal signaling entities in eukaryotic cells. PIs control organelle biology by regulating vesicular trafficking, but they also modulate lipid distribution and metabolism via their close relationship with lipid transfer proteins. PIs regulate ion channels, pumps, and transporters and control both endocytic and exocytic processes. The nuclear phosphoinositides have grown from being an epiphenomenon to a research area of its own. As expected from such pleiotropic regulators, derangements of phosphoinositide metabolism are responsible for a number of human diseases ranging from rare genetic disorders to the most common ones such as cancer, obesity, and diabetes. Moreover, it is increasingly evident that a number of infectious agents hijack the PI regulatory systems of host cells for their intracellular movements, replication, and assembly. As a result, PI converting enzymes began to be noticed by pharmaceutical companies as potential therapeutic targets. This review is an attempt to give an overview of this enormous research field focusing on major developments in diverse areas of basic science linked to cellular physiology and disease.

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.

Abstract
Transmembrane proteins are responsible for transporting ions and small molecules across the hydrophobic region of the cell membrane. We are reviewing the evidence for regulation of these transport processes by interactions with the lipids of the membrane. We focus on ion channels, including potassium channels, mechanosensitive and pentameric ligand gated ion channels, and active transporters, including pumps, sodium or proton driven secondary transporters and ABC transporters. For ion channels it has been convincingly shown that specific lipid-protein interactions can directly affect their function. In some cases, a combined approach of molecular and structural biology together with computer simulations has revealed the molecular mechanisms. There are also many transporters whose activity depends on lipids but understanding of the molecular mechanisms is only beginning.

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.

Abstract
The plasma membrane phosphoinositide phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) controls the activity of most ion channels tested thus far through direct electrostatic interactions. Mutations in channel proteins that change their apparent affinity to PIP2 can lead to channelopathies. Given the fundamental role that membrane phosphoinositides play in regulating channel activity, it is surprising that only a small number of channelopathies have been linked to phosphoinositides. This review proposes that for channels whose activity is PIP2-dependent and for which mutations can lead to channelopathies, the possibility that the mutations alter channel-PIP2 interactions ought to be tested. Similarly, diseases that are linked to disorders of the phosphoinositide pathway result in altered PIP2 levels. In such cases, it is proposed that the possibility for a concomitant dysregulation of channel activity also ought to be tested. The ever-growing list of ion channels whose activity depends on interactions with PIP2 promises to provide a mechanism by which defects on either the channel protein or the phosphoinositide levels can lead to disease.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol biphosphate (PtdIns-4,5P(2)) plays a key role in the regulation of the mammalian heart Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX1) by protecting the intracellular Ca(2+) regulatory site against H(+)(i) and (H(+)(i)+Na(+)(i)) synergic inhibition. MgATP and MgATP-gamma-S up-regulation of NCX1 takes place via the production of this phosphoinositide. In microsomes containing PtdIns-4,5P(2) incubated in the absence of MgATP and at normal [Na(+)](i), alkalinization increases the affinity for Ca(2+)(i) to the values seen in the presence of the nucleotide at normal pH; under this condition, addition of MgATP does not increase the affinity for Ca(2+)(i) any further. On the other hand, prevention of Na(+)(i) inhibition by alkalinization in the absence of MgATP does not take place when the microsomes are depleted of PtdIns-4,5P(2). Experiments on NCX1-PtdIns-4,5P(2) cross-coimmunoprecipitation show that the relevant PtdIns-4,5P(2) is not the overall membrane component but specifically that tightly attached to NCX1. Consequently, the highest affinity of the Ca(2+)(i) regulatory site is seen in the deprotonated and PtdIns-4,5P(2)-bound NCX1. Confirming these results, a PtdIns-5-kinase also cross-coimmunoprecipitates with NCX1 without losing its functional competence. These observations indicate, for the first time, the existence of a PtdIns-5-kinase in the NCX1 microdomain.

Abstract
Here we identify a cytosolic factor essential for MgATP up-regulation of the squid nerve Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger. Mass spectroscopy and Western blot analysis established that this factor is a member of the lipocalin super family of lipid binding proteins of 132 amino acids in length. We named it Regulatory protein of the squid nerve sodium calcium exchanger (ReP1-NCXSQ). ReP-1-NCXSQ was cloned, over expressed and purified. Far-UV circular dichroism and infrared spectra suggest a majority of beta-strand in the secondary structure. Moreover, the predicted tertiary structure indicates ten beta-sheets and two short alpha-helices characteristic of most lipid binding proteins. Functional experiments showed that in order to be active ReP1-NCXSQ must become phosphorylated in the presence of MgATP by a kinase that is Staurosporin insensitive. Even more, the phosphorylated ReP1-NCXSQ is able to stimulate the exchanger in the absence of ATP. In addition to the identification of a new member of the lipid binding protein family, this work shows, for the first time, the requirement of a lipid binding protein for metabolic regulation of an ion transporting system.

Abstract
In the present study the effect of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) was studied on a native TRPC1 store-operated channel (SOC) in freshly dispersed rabbit portal vein myocytes. Application of diC8-PIP2, a water soluble form of PIP2, to quiescent inside-out patches evoked single channel currents with a unitary conductance of 1.9 pS. DiC8-PIP2-evoked channel currents were inhibited by anti-TRPC1 antibodies and these characteristics are identical to SOCs evoked by cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) and BAPTA-AM. SOCs stimulated by CPA, BAPTA-AM and the phorbol ester phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) were reduced by anti-PIP2 antibodies and by depletion of tissue PIP2 levels by pre-treatment of preparations with wortmannin and LY294002. However, these reagents did not alter the ability of PIP2 to activate SOCs in inside-out patches. Co-immunoprecipitation techniques demonstrated association between TRPC1 and PIP2 at rest, which was greatly decreased by wortmannin and LY294002. Pre-treatment of cells with PDBu, which activates protein kinase C (PKC), augmented SOC activation by PIP2 whereas the PKC inhibitor chelerythrine decreased SOC stimulation by PIP2. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments provide evidence that PKC-dependent phosphorylation of TRPC1 occurs constitutively and was increased by CPA and PDBu but decreased by chelerythrine. These novel results show that PIP2 can activate TRPC1 SOCs in native vascular myocytes and plays an important role in SOC activation by CPA, BAPTA-AM and PDBu. Moreover, the permissive role of PIP2 in SOC activation requires PKC-dependent phosphorylation of TRPC1.

Abstract
The present work investigates the effect of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)) on native TRPC6 channel activity in freshly dispersed rabbit mesenteric artery myocytes using patch clamp recording and co-immunoprecipitation methods. Inclusion of 100 microM diC8-PIP(2) in the patch pipette and bathing solutions, respectively, inhibited angiotensin II (Ang II)-evoked whole-cell cation currents and TRPC6 channel activity by over 90%. In inside-out patches diC8-PIP(2) also inhibited TRPC6 activity induced by the diacylglycerol analogue 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG) with an IC(50) of 7.6 microM. Anti-PIP(2) antibodies potentiated Ang II- and OAG-evoked TRPC6 activity by about 2-fold. Depleters of tissue PIP(2) wortmannin and LY294002 stimulated TRPC6 activity, as did the polycation PIP(2) scavenger poly-L-lysine. Wortmannin reduced Ang II-evoked TRPC6 activity by over 75% but increased OAG-induced TRPC6 activity by over 50-fold. Co-immunoprecipitation studies demonstrated association between PIP(2) and TRPC6 proteins in tissue lysates. Pre-treatment with Ang II, OAG and wortmannin reduced TRPC6 association with PIP(2). These results provide for the first time compelling evidence that constitutively produced PIP(2) exerts a powerful inhibitory action on native TRPC6 channels.

Abstract
In squid axons, intracellular Mg2+ reduces the activity of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger by competing with Ca2+ i for its regulatory site. The state of the Ca i-regulatory site (active-inactive) also alters the apparent affinity of intra- and extracellular transport sites. Conditions that hinder the binding of Ca2+ i (low pH i, low [Ca2+]i, high [Mg2+]i) diminish the apparent affinity of intracellular transport sites, in particular for Na i due to its synergism with H+ inhibition, but less noticeably for Ca2+ i because of its antagonism towards (Ha i + Na+ i) and Mg2+ i inhibitions. These are kinetic effects unrelated to the true affinity of the sites. With the Ca i-regulatory site saturated, the intracellular transporting sites are insensitive to [H+]i and to ATP. Likewise, the state of the Ca i-regulatory site (activated or inactivated) influences the affinity of the extracellular Ca o and Na o-transport sites (trans effects). In this case, the effects are opposite to those predicted by any of the transport schemes proposed for the Na+/Ca2+exchanger; i.e. its mechanism remains unexplained. In addition to their intrinsic importance for a full understanding of the properties of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, these findings show a new way by which the state of the Ca i-regulatory site may determine net movements of Ca2+ through this system.

Abstract
Cardiac Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchange (NCX1) inactivates in excised membrane patches when cytoplasmic Ca(2+) is removed or cytoplasmic Na(+) is increased. Exogenous phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bis-phosphate (PIP(2)) can ablate both inactivation mechanisms, while it has no effect on inward exchange current in the absence of cytoplasmic Na(+). To probe PIP(2) effects in intact cells, we manipulated PIP(2) metabolism by several means. First, we used cell lines with M1 (muscarinic) receptors that couple to phospholipase C's (PLCs). As expected, outward NCX1 current (i.e. Ca(2+) influx) can be strongly inhibited when M1 agonists induce PIP(2) depletion. However, inward currents (i.e. Ca(2+) extrusion) without cytoplasmic Na(+) can be increased markedly in parallel with an increase of cell capacitance (i.e. membrane area). Similar effects are incurred by cytoplasmic perfusion of GTPgammaS or the actin cytoskeleton disruptor latrunculin, even in the presence of non-hydrolysable ATP (AMP-PNP). Thus, G-protein signalling may increase NCX1 currents by destabilizing membrane cytoskeleton-PIP(2) interactions. Second, to increase PIP(2) we directly perfused PIP(2) into cells. Outward NCX1 currents increase as expected. But over minutes currents decline substantially, and cell capacitance usually decreases in parallel. Third, using BHK cells with stable NCX1 expression, we increased PIP(2) by transient expression of a phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate-5-kinase (hPIP5KIbeta) and a PI4-kinase (PI4KIIalpha). NCX1 current densities were decreased by > 80 and 40%, respectively. Fourth, we generated transgenic mice with 10-fold cardiac-specific overexpression of PI4KIIalpha. This wortmannin-insensitive PI4KIIalpha was chosen because basal cardiac phosphoinositides are nearly insensitive to wortmannin, and surface membrane PI4-kinase activity, defined functionally in excised patches, is not blocked by wortmannin. Both phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PIP) and PIP(2) were increased significantly, while NCX1 current densities were decreased by 78% with no loss of NCX1 expression. Most mice developed cardiac hypertrophy, and immunohistochemical analysis suggests that NCX1 is redistributed away from the outer sarcolemma. Cholera toxin uptake was increased 3-fold, suggesting that clathrin-independent endocytosis is enhanced. We conclude that direct effects of PIP(2) to activate NCX1 can be strongly modulated by opposing mechanisms in intact cells that probably involve membrane cytoskeleton remodelling and membrane trafficking.

Abstract
PIP(2) is a minor phospholipid that modulates multiple cellular processes. However, its abundance by mass, like diacylglycerol, is still 20 to 100 times greater than the master phospholipid second messenger, PIP(3). Therefore, it is a case-by-case question whether PIP(2) is acting more like GTP, in being a cofactor in regulatory processes, or whether it is being used as a true second messenger. Analysis of signaling mechanisms in primary cells is essential to answer this question, as overexpression studies will naturally generate false positives. In connection with the possible messenger function of PIP(2), a second question arises as to how and if PIP(2) metabolism and signaling may be limited in space. This review summarizes succinctly the notable cases in which PIP(2) is proposed to function in a localized way and the different mechanistic models that may allow it to function locally. In general, drastic restrictions of PIP(2) diffusion are required. It is speculated that molecular PIP(2) signaling may be possible in the absence of PIP(2) gradients via ternary complexes between PIP(2) and two protein partners. That PIP(2) synthesis and hydrolysis might be locally dependent on protein-protein interactions, and direct lipid "hand-off" is suggested by multiple results.

Abstract
In squid nerve MgATP upregulation of Na+/Ca2+ exchange requires a soluble cytosolic regulatory protein (SCRP) of about 13 kDa; phosphoarginine (PA) stimulation does not. MgATP-gamma-S mimics MgATP. When a 30-10-kDa cytosolic fraction is exposed to 0.5 mM [32P]ATP in the same solution used for transport assays, and in the presence of native membrane vesicles, a 13-kDa and a 25-kDa band become phosphorylated. Membrane vesicles alone do not show these phosphorylated bands and heat denaturation of the cytosolic fraction prevents phosphorylation. Moreover, staurosporine, a general inhibitor of kinases, does not affect MgATP + SCRP stimulation of the exchanger or the phosphorylation of the 13 kDa but prevents phosphorylation of the 25-kDa cytosolic band. The 30-10-kDa fraction phosphorylated in the presence of staurosporine stimulates Na+/Ca2+ exchange in vesicles in the absence of ATP but with Mg2+ in the medium. The 30-10-kDa fraction is not phosphorylated by PA. In membrane vesicles two protein bands, at about 60 kDa and 70 kDa identified as the low molecular weight neurofilament (NF), are phosphorylated by PA, but not by MgATP. This phosphorylation is specific for PA, insensitive to staurosporine (similar to the PA-stimulated fluxes), and labile. In addition, co-immunoprecipitation was observed between the NF and the exchanger protein. Under the conditions of these experiments no phosphorylation of the exchanger is detected, either with MgATP or PA.

Abstract
Using bovine heart sarcolemma vesicles we studied the effects of protons and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns-4,5-P2) on the affinity of the mammalian Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX1) for intracellular Ca(2+). By following the effects of extravesicular ligands in inside-out vesicles, their interactions with sites of NCX1 facing the intracellular medium were investigated. Two Na(+)-gradient-dependent fluxes were studied: Ca(2+) uptake and Ca(2+) release. PtdIns-4,5-P2 binding to NCX1 was investigated in parallel. Without MgATP (no 'de novo' synthesis of PtdIns-4,5-P2), alkalinization increased the affinity for Ca(2+) and the PtdIns-4,5-P2 bound to NCX1. Vesicles depleted of phosphoinositides were insensitive to alkalinization, but became responsive following addition of exogenous PtdIns-4,5-P2 or PtdIns plus MgATP. Acidification reduced the affinity for Ca(2+)(ev); this was only partially reversed by MgATP, despite the increase in bound PtdIns-4,5-P2 to levels observed with alkalinization. Inhibition of Ca(2+) uptake by increasing extravesicular [Na(+)] indicates that it is related to H(+)(i) and Na(+)(i) synergistic inhibition of the Ca(2+)(i) regulatory site. Therefore, the affinity of the NCX1 Ca(2+)(i) regulatory site for Ca(2+) was maximal when both intracellular alkalinization and an increase in PtdIns-4,5-P2 bound to NCX1 (not just of the total membrane PtdIns-4,5-P2) occurred simultaneously. In addition, protons influenced the distribution, or the exposure, of PtdIns-4,5-P2 molecules in the surroundings and/or on the exchanger protein.

Abstract
Na+ i-dependent Ca2+ uptake, Na+-dependent Ca2+ release, and PtdIns-4,5-P2 binding to Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX1) as a function of extravesicular (intracellular) [Ca2+] were measured. Alkalinization increases Ca2+ i affinity and PtdIns-4,5-P2 bound to NCX1; these effects are abolished by pretreatment with PtdIns-PLC and are insensitive to MgATP. Acidification reduces Ca2+ i affinity. MgATP reverts it only partially despite the fact that the PtdIns-4,5-P2 bound to NCX1 reaches the same levels as at pH 7.8. Extravesicular Na+-stimulated and Ca2+-dependent Ca2+ efflux indicate the Ca2+ regulatory site is involved. Therefore, to display maximal affinity to Ca2+ i, PtdIns-4,5-P2 binding and deprotonation of NCX1 are simultaneously need.

Abstract
The Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger's family of membrane transporters is widely distributed in cells and tissues of the animal kingdom and constitutes one of the most important mechanisms for extruding Ca(2+) from the cell. Two basic properties characterize them. 1) Their activity is not predicted by thermodynamic parameters of classical electrogenic countertransporters (dependence on ionic gradients and membrane potential), but is markedly regulated by transported (Na(+) and Ca(2+)) and nontransported ionic species (protons and other monovalent cations). These modulations take place at specific sites in the exchanger protein located at extra-, intra-, and transmembrane protein domains. 2) Exchange activity is also regulated by the metabolic state of the cell. The mammalian and invertebrate preparations share MgATP in that role; the squid has an additional compound, phosphoarginine. This review emphasizes the interrelationships between ionic and metabolic modulations of Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchange, focusing mainly in two preparations where most of the studies have been carried out: the mammalian heart and the squid giant axon. A surprising fact that emerges when comparing the MgATP-related pathways in these two systems is that although they are different (phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate in the cardiac and a soluble cytosolic regulatory protein in the squid), their final target effects are essentially similar: Na(+)-Ca(2+)-H(+) interactions with the exchanger. A model integrating both ionic and metabolic interactions in the regulation of the exchanger is discussed in detail as well as its relevance in cellular Ca(i)(2+) homeostasis.

Abstract
In squid nerves the Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger is up-regulated by ATP and phosphoarginine (PA). ATP regulation involves drastic alterations in the Na(+)(i), H(+)(i) and Ca(2+)(i) interactions with the large intracellular cytoplasmic loop of the exchanger protein. In this work we explored the mechanisms associated with PA regulation in intracellular dialysed squid axons and squid optic nerve membrane vesicles. Dialysed axons were used to measure the four modes of exchange fluxes (Na(+)(o)-Ca(2+)(i) or forward exchange, Ca(2+)(o)-Na(+)(i) or reverse exchange, Ca(2+)(o)-Ca(2+)(i) exchange and Na(+)(o)-Na(+)(i) exchange) under controlled intra- and extracellular conditions. Inside-out membrane vesicles allowed measurement of the Na(+)-gradient-dependent (45)Ca(2+) uptake (forward mode) as influenced by ligands and digestion with chymotrypsin from the intracellular side. The results show that, unlike ATP, PA regulation does not affect the H(+)(i), Na(+)(i) and Ca(2+)(i) interactions with the intracellular 'regulatory' loop, but increases the affinity of the intracellular transport sites, preferentially for Ca(2+)(i) (about 20-fold) over Na(+)(i) (50%); i.e. PA favours the forward mode over the other exchange modes. Intracellular chymotrypsin digestion removed ATP regulation while leaving modulation by PA unmodified. Western blot analysis suggested that chymotrypsin disrupts the large intracellular loop. Together these results indicate that ATP and PA regulations are associated with different structures inside and outside the exchanger protein. Based on these observations we expanded our previous model for metabolic regulation of the Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger by adding to the original 'ATP region' a new zone, the 'PA region', related to the intracellular transport sites for Na(+)(i) and Ca(2+)(i). This new model is able to explain most previous and present results.

Abstract
Western blot and cross immunoprecipitation analysis with specific antibodies demonstrate that in bovine heart sarcolemmal vesicles phosphatidylinositol-4,5-biphosphate (PtdIns-4,5-P(2)) binds strongly to the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX1). This binding is modulated by ATP, Ca(2+), vanadate, exchanger inhibitory peptide (XIP), and PLC-PtdIns specific in a way resembling the ATP regulation of the exchange fluxes. With 1 microM Ca(2+), 3 mM Mg(2+), and 0.4 mM vanadate, 1 mM ATP increased about twofold the bound PtdIns-4,5-P(2), reaching a steady state in 3-5 s at 37 degrees C. With 100 microM Ca(2+), ATP had no effect on the PtdIns-4,5-P(2) bound to NCX1 or on the exchange fluxes. Without vanadate the bound PtdIns-4,5-P(2) was largely reduced; under this condition ATP failed to increase it and did not stimulate the exchanger. XIP inhibits the exchanger, more noticeable in the absence of ATP. With XIP, ATP does not modify the levels of bound PtdIns-4,5-P(2); however there is a small but distinct ATP stimulation of the exchanger. Vesicles pretreated with PtdIns-PLC, showed no de novo, [(32)P]ATP-induced, production of PtdIns-4,5-P(2), but some ATP-stimulated increase in the bound PtdIns-4,5-P(2) was detected; however, that increase did not exceed the levels found with vanadate and no ATP. These results indicate that in bovine heart sarcolemmal vesicles, ATP upregulation of NCX1 is related to PtdIns-4,5-P(2) bound to the exchanger, perhaps over a "threshold" or "unspecific" amount. In addition, vanadate could influence the amount of detected PtdIns-4,5-P(2) either by inhibiting phosphoinositide-specific phosphatases and/or by inducing a redistribution of PtdIns-4,5-P(2) molecules associated with the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger.

Abstract
In the last decade, there has been a large increase in the study of the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger due to its implications in physiological and pathophysiological processes at the cell and organ levels. Key areas of these studies have been molecular biology, regulation and physiology-pathophysiology of the exchanger. There are three main types of regulation that take place at the large intracellular loop of the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger: (i) ionic (sodium inactivation, calcium regulation and proton inhibition), (ii) metabolic (ATP as phosphoryl group donor), and (iii) genetic (alternative splicing). This review analyzes the most recent data on the mutual interactions of regulatory ionic ligands (Ca(2+), Na(+), H(+)) and how they are secondarily modulated by MgATP, emphasizing the importance of the binding of Ca(2+) to its regulatory site as an essential requirement for the exchange function. Intracellular protons and sodium inhibit the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger by reducing the apparent affinity of the Ca(i)-regulatory site for Ca(2+). Although the metabolic pathways are different in the mammalian heart (membrane lipids) and squid nerve cells (soluble cytosolic regulatory protein), the final mechanism for the protective effect of MgATP is the same: a reduction of Na(i)(+)-H(i)(+) binding affinities facilitating the attachment of Ca(2+) to its regulatory site. Kinetic models, which partially analyzed some of these ionic and metabolic interactions, can be integrated into a single scheme where the Ca(i)-regulatory site plays a central role.

Abstract
Intracellular Na(+) and H(+) inhibit Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchange. ATP regulates exchange activity by altering kinetic parameters for Ca(2+)(i), Na(+)(i) and Na(+)(o). The role of the Ca(2+)(i)regulatory site on Na(+)(i)-H(+)(i)-ATP interactions was explored by measuring the Na(+)(o)-dependent (45)Ca(2+) efflux (Na(+)(o)-Ca(2+)(i) exchange) and Ca(2+)(i)-dependent (22)Na(+) efflux (Na(+)(o)-Na(+)(i) exchange) in intracellular-dialysed squid axons. Our results show that: (1) without ATP, inhibition by Na(+)(i) is strongly dependent on H(+)(i). Lowering the pH(i) by 0.4 units from its physiological value of 7.3 causes 80 % inhibition of Na(+)(o)-Ca(2+)(i) exchange; (2) in the presence of MgATP, H(+)(i) and Na(+)(i) inhibition is markedly diminished; and (3) experiments on Na(+)(o)-Na(+)(i) exchange indicate that the drastic changes in the Na(+)(i)-H(+)(i)-ATP interactions take place at the Ca(2+)(i) regulatory site. The increase in Ca(2+)(i) affinity induced by ATP at acid pH (6.9) can be mimicked by a rise in pH(i) from 6.9 to 7.3 in the absence of the nucleotide. We conclude that ATP modulation of the Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchange occurs by protection from intracellular proton and sodium inhibition. These findings are predicted by a model where: (i) the binding of Ca(2+) to the regulatory site is essential for translocation but not for the binding of Na(+)(i) or Ca(2+)(i) to the transporting site; (ii) H(+)(i) competes with Ca(2+)(i) for the same form of the exchanger without an effect on the Ca(2+)(i) transporting site; (iii) protonation of the carrier increases the apparent affinity and changes the cooperativity for Na(+)(i) binding; and (iv) ATP prevents both H(+)(i) and Na(+)(i)-effects. The relief of H(+) and Na(+) inhibition induced by ATP could be important in cardiac ischaemia, in which a combination of acidosis and rise in [Na(+)](i) occurs.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)), the precursor of several signaling molecules in eukayotic cells, is itself also used by cells to signal to membrane-associated proteins. PIP(2) anchors numerous signaling molecules and cytoskeleton at the cell membrane, and the metabolism of PIP(2) is closely connected to membrane trafficking. Recently, ion transporters and channels have been discovered to be regulated by PIP(2). Systems reported to be activated by PIP(2) include (i) plasmalemmal calcium pumps (PMCA), (ii) cardiac sodium-calcium exchangers (NCX1), (iii) sodium-proton exchangers (NHE1-4), (iv) a sodium-magnesium exchanger of unknown identity, (v) all inward rectifier potassium channels (KATP, IRK, GIRK, and ROMK channels), (vi) epithelial sodium channels (ENaC), and (vii) ryanodine-sensitive calcium release channels (RyR). Systems reported to be inhibited by PIP(2) include (i) cyclic nucleotide-gated channels of the rod (CNG), (ii) transient receptor potential-like (TRPL) Drosophila phototransduction channels, (iii) capsaicin-activated transient receptor potential (TRP) channels (VR1), and (iv) IP(3)-gated calcium release channels (IP3R). Systems that appear to be completely insensitive to PIP(2) include (i) voltage-gated sodium channels, (ii) most voltage-gated potassium channels, (iii) sodium-potassium pumps, (iv) several neurotransmitter transporters, and (v) cystic fibrosis transmembrane receptor (CFTR)-type chloride channels. Presumably, local changes of the concentration of PIP(2) in the plasma membrane represent cell signals to those mechanisms sensitive to PIP(2) changes. Unfortunately, our understanding of how local PIP(2) concentrations are regulated remains very limited. One important complexity is the probable existence of phospholipid microdomains, or lipid rafts. Such domains may serve to localize PIP(2) and thereby PIP(2) signaling, as well as to organize PIP(2) binding partners into signaling complexes. A related biological role of PIP(2) may be to control the activity of ion transporters and channels during biosynthesis or vesicle trafficking. Low PIP(2) concentrations in the secretory pathway would inactivate all of the systems that are stimulated by PIP(2). How, in detail, is PIP(2) used by cells to control ion channel and transporter activities? Further progress requires an improved understanding of lipid kinases and phosphatases, how they are regulated, where they are localized in cells, and with which ion channels and transporters they might localize.
