Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase-dependent Activation of the Na+/H+ Exchanger Is Mediated through Phosphorylation of Amino Acids Ser770 and Ser771
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We investigated regulation of the type 1 isoform of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger by phosphorylation. Four specific groups of serine and threonine residues in the regulatory carboxyl-terminal tail were mutated to alanine residues: group 1, S693A; group 2, T718A and S723A/S726A/S729A; group 3, S766A/S770A/S771A; and group 4, T779A and S785A. The proteins were expressed in Na(+)/H(+) exchanger-deficient cells, and the activity was characterized. All of the mutants had proper expression, localization, and normal basal activity relative to wild type NHE1. Sustained intracellular acidosis was used to activate NHE1 via an ERK-dependent pathway that could be blocked with the MEK inhibitor U0126. Immunoprecipitation of (32)P-labeled Na(+)/H(+) exchanger from intact cells showed that sustained intracellular acidosis increased Na(+)/H(+) exchanger phosphorylation in vivo. This was blocked by U0126. The Na(+)/H(+) exchanger activity of mutants 1 and 2 was stimulated similar to wild type Na(+)/H(+) exchanger. Mutant 4 showed a partially reduced level of activation. However, mutant 3 was not stimulated by sustained intracellular acidosis, and loss of stimulation of activity correlated to a loss of sustained acidosis-mediated phosphorylation in vivo. Mutation of the individual amino acids within mutant 3, Ser(766), Ser(770), and Ser(771), showed that Ser(770) and Ser(771) are responsible for mediating increases in NHE1 activity through sustained acidosis. Both intact Ser(770) and Ser(771) were required for sustained acidosis-mediated activation of NHE1. Our results suggest that amino acids Ser(770) and Ser(771) mediate ERK-dependent activation of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger in vivo.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
