Functional Interaction between the N and C Termini of NhaD Antiporters from Halomonas sp. Strain Y2

Two NhaD-type antiporters, NhaD1 and NhaD2, from the halotolerant and alkaliphilic Halomonas sp. strain Y2, exhibit different physiological functions in regard to Na+ and Li+ resistance, although they share high sequence identity. In the present study, the truncation of an additional 4 C-terminal residues from NhaD2 or an exchange of 39 N-terminal residues between these proteins resulted in the complete loss of antiporter activity. Interestingly, combining 39 N-terminal residues and 7 C-terminal residues of NhaD2 (N39D2-C7) partially recovered the activity for Na+ and Li+ expulsion, as well as complementary growth following exposure to 300 mM Na+ and 100 mM Li+ stress. The recovered activity of chimera N39D2-C7 indicated that the N and C termini are structurally dependent on each other and function synergistically. Furthermore, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) analysis suggested that the N and C termini are relatively close in proximity which may account for their synergistic function in ion translocation. In the N-terminal region of N39D2-C7, the replacement of Glu38 with Pro abolished the recovered complementary and transport activities. In addition, this amino acid substitution in NhaD2 resulted in a drastically decreased complementation ability in Escherichia coli KNabc (level identical to that of NhaD1), as well as decreased activity and an altered pH profile..
