T1 |
0-147 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Expression of calcineurin B homologous protein 2 protects serum deprivation-induced cell death by serum-independent activation of Na+/H+ exchanger. |
T2 |
148-368 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The calcineurin B homologous protein (designated CHP1) has been shown to be a common essential cofactor for the plasma membrane Na(+)/H(+) exchangers (NHEs) (Pang, T., Su, X., Wakabayashi, S., and Shigekawa, M. (2001) J. |
T3 |
369-374 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Biol. |
T4 |
375-380 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Chem. |
T5 |
381-399 |
Sentence |
denotes |
276, 17367-17372). |
T6 |
400-534 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In this study, we characterized the function of another isoform of CHP (designated CHP2) that has a 61% amino acid identity with CHP1. |
T7 |
535-784 |
Sentence |
denotes |
CHP2, like CHP1, conferred the ability to NHEs 1-3 to express a high exchange activity by binding to the juxtamembrane region of the cytoplasmic domain of the exchanger, but it interacts more strongly (approximately 5-fold) with NHE1 than does CHP1. |
T8 |
785-938 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Although CHP1 is expressed ubiquitously at relatively high levels, CHP2 expression was extremely low in most human tissues but was higher in tumor cells. |
T9 |
939-1057 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We produced stable cell clones overexpressing either CHP1 or CHP2 in which one of them is predominantly bound to NHE1. |
T10 |
1058-1219 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Serum (10%) induced a significant cytoplasmic alkalinization (0.1-0.2 pH unit) in cells co-expressing CHP1 and NHE1 but not in cells co-expressing CHP2 and NHE1. |
T11 |
1220-1333 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In the latter, pH(i) was high (7.4-7.5) even in the absence of serum, suggesting that NHE1 was already activated. |
T12 |
1334-1457 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Surprisingly, most (>80%) of CHP2/NHE1 cells unlike CHP1/NHE1 cells were viable even after long serum starvation (>7 days). |
T13 |
1458-1569 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Thus, the expression of CHP2 appears to protect cells from serum deprivation-induced death by increasing pH(i). |
T14 |
1570-1660 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These properties of CHP2/NHE1 cells are similar to those of malignantly transformed cells. |
T15 |
1661-1883 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We propose that serum-independent activation of NHE1 by bound CHP2 is one of the key mechanisms for the maintenance of high pH(i) and the resistance to serum deprivation-induced cell death in malignantly transformed cells. |
