Method A Chinese hamster lung fibroblast cell line (PS120) previously selected to lack all endogenous NHEs was stably transfected, using Lipofectin (GIBCO BRL), with human NHE1 or rabbit NHE2 or NHE3 cDNAs epitope tagged on the COOH termini with a previously described 11-amino acid epitope of vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (VSVG) plus an 8-amino acid spacer (NHE1V, NHE2V, and NHE3V). Researchers then determined the turnover numbers of NHE1, NHE2, and NHE3 expressed in the same cell type (PS120) by correlating the Vmax (as measured by 22Na+ uptake kinetic studies and fluorometry) with the amount of NHE protein expressed at the cell surface.
Comments In the present study, all three NHE isoforms had a turnover rate of ~80–100 s^-1 when Na+ uptake was used to measure Vmax at 22°C and a turnover number of 459–742 s^-1 when fluorometry at 37°C was used (BNID 105481). NHEs in lymphocytes (likely to be NHE1) have a high temperature coefficient (Q10) of 3.1 (Livne et al 1987, PMID 2832967). When this is taken into account, the estimated turnover number for NHE1 determined by fluorometry at 22°C is 142 s^-1, which is close to that measured by 22Na+ uptake (80 s^-1 Table link).
