A Novel Human Mutation in the SLC9A1 Gene Results in Abolition of Na+/H+ Exchanger Activity
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The SLC9A1 gene, the Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1 is the principal plasma membrane Na+/H+ exchanger of mammalian cells and functions by exchanging one intracellular proton for one extracellular sodium. The human protein is 815 amino acids in length. Five hundred N-terminal amino acids make up the transport domain of the protein and are believed to form 12 transmembrane segments. Recently, a genetic mutation of the Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1, N266H, was discovered in a human patient through exome sequencing. We examined the effect of this mutation on expression, targeting and activity of the Na+/H+ exchanger. Mutant N266H protein was expressed in AP-1 cells, which lack their endogenous Na+/H+ exchanger protein. Targeting of the mutant protein to the cell surface was normal and expression levels were only slightly reduced relative to the wild type protein. However, the N266H mutant protein had no detectable Na+/H+ exchanger activity. A histidine residue at this location may disrupt the cation binding site or the pore of the Na+/H+ exchanger protein.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
