title: Effects of ion gradients on H+ transport mediated by human MDR 1 protein.
abstract: In the previous paper we presented a variety of data consistent with significant perturbations in 9.3 yeast plasma membrane ion transport upon overexpression of the hu MDR 1 protein. Thus, in this paper, we compare formation of DeltapH for inside-out yeast plasma membrane vesicles (ISOV) prepared from control 9.3/pVT versus 9.3/hu MDR 1 yeast. Since MDR 1 ATPase activity has a broader, more alkaline pH profile relative to endogenous yeast H+ ATPase activity, we analyzed H+ pumping at pH >/= 8.0 in detail in order to selectively amplify hu MDR 1 contributions to H+ movement over those of the endogenous yeast H+ ATPase. We observed: (1) imposition of a Cl- gradient oriented outside to in enhances acidification for 9.3/pVT ISOV (as expected), but decreases acidification for 9.3/hu MDR 1 ISOV; (2) imposition of a Cl- gradient oriented inside to out decreases acidification for 9.3/pVT ISOV (as expected) but enhances acidification for 9.3/hu MDR 1 ISOV; (3) a Na+ gradient oriented in the same direction as the Cl- gradient amplifies the effects due to hu MDR 1 when both gradients are oriented inside to out, but not outside to in. The data are most easily explained by interesting Na+, Cl-, and ATP-dependent H+ transport mediated by hu MDR 1 protein as previously suggested [Hoffman and Roepe (1997) Biochemistry 36, 11153-11168]. These data may help to resolve a variety of conflicting reports in the literature regarding ion transport mediated by hu MDR 1 and have implications for the physiology of a number of polarized epithelia in which hu MDR 1 is endogenously expressed.
