Maintenance of proper intracellular concentrations of monovalent cations, mainly sodium and potassium, is a requirement for survival of any cell. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, monovalent cation homeostasis is determined by the active extrusion of protons through the Pma1 H+ -ATPase (reviewed in another chapter of this issue), the influx and efflux of these cations through the plasma membrane transporters (reviewed in this chapter), and the sequestration of toxic cations into the vacuoles. Here, we will describe the structure, function, and regulation of the plasma membrane transporters Trk1, Trk2, Tok1, Nha1, and Ena1, which play a key role in maintaining physiological intracellular concentrations of Na+ , K+ , and H+ , both under normal growth conditions and in response to stress.

Cardioprotective effect of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) and ischemic postconditioning (IPoC) in adult hearts is mediated by mitochondrial-K-ATP channels and nitric oxide (NO). During early developmental period, rat hearts exhibit higher resistance to ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and their resistance cannot be further increased by IPC or IPoC. Therefore, we have speculated, whether mechanisms responsible for high resistance of neonatal heart may be similar to those of IPC and IPoC. To test this hypothesis, rat hearts isolated on days 1, 4, 7, and 10 of postnatal life were perfused according to Langendorff. Developed force (DF) of contraction was measured. Hearts were exposed to 40 min of global ischemia followed by reperfusion up to the maximum recovery of DF. IPoC was induced by 5 cycles of 10-s ischemia. Mito-K-ATP blocker (5-HD) was administered 5 min before ischemia and during first 20 min of reperfusion. Another group of hearts was isolated for biochemical analysis of 3-nitrotyrosine, and serum samples were taken to measure nitrate levels. Tolerance to ischemia did not change from day 1 to day 4 but decreased on days 7 and 10. 5-HD had no effect either on neonatal resistance to I/R injury or on cardioprotective effect of IPoC on day 10. Significant difference was found in serum nitrate levels between days 1 and 10 but not in tissue 3-nitrotyrosine content. It can be concluded that while there appears to be significant difference of NO production, mito-K-ATP and ROS probably do not play role in the high neonatal resistance to I/R injury.

Cargo receptors in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) recognize and help membrane and soluble proteins along the secretory pathway to reach their location and functional site. We characterized physiological properties of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains lacking the ERV14 gene, which encodes a cargo receptor part of COPII-coated vesicles that cycles between the ER and Golgi membranes. The lack of Erv14 resulted in larger cell volume, plasma-membrane hyperpolarization, and intracellular pH decrease. Cells lacking ERV14 exhibited increased sensitivity to toxic cationic drugs and decreased ability to grow on low K+. We found no change in the localization of plasma membrane H+-ATPase Pma1, Na+, K+-ATPase Ena1 and K+ importer Trk2 or vacuolar K+-Cl- co-transporter Vhc1 in the absence of Erv14. However, Erv14 influenced the targeting of two K+-specific plasma-membrane transport systems, Tok1 (K+ channel) and Trk1 (K+ importer), that were retained in the ER in erv14Δ cells. The lack of Erv14 resulted in growth phenotypes related to a diminished amount of Trk1 and Tok1 proteins. We confirmed that Rb+ whole-cell uptake via Trk1 is not efficient in cells lacking Erv14. ScErv14 helped to target Trk1 homologues from other yeast species to the S. cerevisiae plasma membrane. The direct interaction between Erv14 and Tok1 or Trk1 was confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation and by a mating-based Split Ubiquitin System. In summary, our results identify Tok1 and Trk1 to be new cargoes for Erv14 and show this receptor to be an important player participating in the maintenance of several physiological parameters of yeast cells.

GABAB receptors are the G-protein coupled receptors for the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, GABA. GABAB receptors were shown to associate with homo-oligomers of auxiliary KCTD8, KCTD12, KCTD12b, and KCTD16 subunits (named after their T1 K(+)-channel tetramerization domain) that regulate G-protein signaling of the receptor. Here we provide evidence that GABAB receptors also associate with hetero-oligomers of KCTD subunits. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments indicate that two-thirds of the KCTD16 proteins in the hippocampus of adult mice associate with KCTD12. We show that the KCTD proteins hetero-oligomerize through self-interacting T1 and H1 homology domains. Bioluminescence resonance energy transfer measurements in live cells reveal that KCTD12/KCTD16 hetero-oligomers associate with both the receptor and the G-protein. Electrophysiological experiments demonstrate that KCTD12/KCTD16 hetero-oligomers impart unique kinetic properties on G-protein-activated Kir3 currents. During prolonged receptor activation (one min) KCTD12/KCTD16 hetero-oligomers produce moderately desensitizing fast deactivating K(+) currents, whereas KCTD12 and KCTD16 homo-oligomers produce strongly desensitizing fast deactivating currents and nondesensitizing slowly deactivating currents, respectively. During short activation (2 s) KCTD12/KCTD16 hetero-oligomers produce nondesensitizing slowly deactivating currents. Electrophysiological recordings from hippocampal neurons of KCTD knock-out mice are consistent with these findings and indicate that KCTD12/KCTD16 hetero-oligomers increase the duration of slow IPSCs. In summary, our data demonstrate that simultaneous assembly of distinct KCTDs at the receptor increases the molecular and functional repertoire of native GABAB receptors and modulates physiologically induced K(+) current responses in the hippocampus. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: The KCTD proteins 8, 12, and 16 are auxiliary subunits of GABAB receptors that differentially regulate G-protein signaling of the receptor. The KCTD proteins are generally assumed to function as homo-oligomers. Here we show that the KCTD proteins also assemble hetero-oligomers in all possible dual combinations. Experiments in live cells demonstrate that KCTD hetero-oligomers form at least tetramers and that these tetramers directly interact with the receptor and the G-protein. KCTD12/KCTD16 hetero-oligomers impart unique kinetic properties to GABAB receptor-induced Kir3 currents in heterologous cells. KCTD12/KCTD16 hetero-oligomers are abundant in the hippocampus, where they prolong the duration of slow IPSCs in pyramidal cells. Our data therefore support that KCTD hetero-oligomers modulate physiologically induced K(+) current responses in the brain.

Tok1p is a highly specific yeast plasma membrane potassium channel with strong outward directionality. Its opening is induced by membrane depolarization. Although the biophysical properties of Tok1p are well-described, its potentially important physiological role is currently largely unexplored. To address this issue, we examined the Tok1p activity following chemically-induced depolarization by measuring changes of plasma membrane potential (ΔΨ) using the diS-C3(3) fluorescence assay in a Tok1p-expressing and a Tok1p-deficient strain. We report that Tok1p channel activity in response to chemical stress does not depend solely on the extent of depolarization, as might have been expected, but may also be negatively influenced by accompanying effects of the used compound. The stressors may interact with the plasma membrane or the channel itself, or cause cytosolic acidification. All of these effects may negatively influence the Tok1p channel opening. While ODDC-induced depolarization exhibits the cleanest Tok1p activation, restoring an astonishing 75% of lost ΔΨ, higher BAC concentrations reduce Tok1p activity, probably because of direct interactions with the channel and/or its lipid microenvironment. This is not only the first study of the physiological role of Tok1p in ΔΨ maintenance under chemical stress, but also the first estimate of the extent of depolarization the channel is able to counterbalance.
Our own study as well as others have previously reported that hypoxia activates 15-lipoxygenase (15-LO) in the brain, causing a series of chain reactions, which exacerbates ischemic stroke. 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE) and 15-oxo-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-oxo-ETE/15-KETE) are 15-LO-specific metabolites of arachidonic acid (AA). 15-HETE was found to be rapidly converted into 15-oxo-ETE by 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) in some circumstances. We have demonstrated that 15-HETE promotes cerebral vasoconstriction during hypoxia. However, the effect of 15-oxo-ETE upon the contraction of cerebral vasculature remains unclear. To investigate this effect and to clarify the underlying mechanism, we performed immunohistochemistry and Western blot to test the expression of 15-PGDH in rat cerebral tissue, examined internal carotid artery (ICA) tension in isolated rat ICA rings. Western blot and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were used to analyze the expression of voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels (Kv2.1, Kv1.5, and Kv1.1) in cultured cerebral arterial smooth muscle cells (CASMCs). The results showed that the levels of 15-PGDH expression were drastically elevated in the cerebral of rats with hypoxia, and 15-oxo-ETE enhanced ICA contraction in a dose-dependent manner. This effect was more significant in the hypoxic rats than in the normoxic rats. We also found that 15-oxo-ETE significantly attenuated the expression of Kv2.1 and Kv1.5, but not Kv1.1. In conclusion, these results suggest that 15-oxo-ETE leads to the contraction of the ICA, especially under hypoxic conditions and that specific Kv channels may play an important role in 15-oxo-ETE-induced ICA constriction.

Isolated supraoptic neurones generate spontaneous [Ca(2+)]i oscillations in isolated conditions. Here we report in depth analysis of the contribution of plasmalemmal ion channels (Ca(2+), Na(+)), Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX), intracellular Ca(2+) release channels (InsP3Rs and RyRs), Ca(2+) storage organelles, plasma membrane Ca(2+) pump and intracellular signal transduction cascades into spontaneous Ca(2+) activity. While removal of extracellular Ca(2+) or incubation with non-specific voltage-gated Ca(2+) channel (VGCC) blocker Cd(2+) suppressed the oscillations, neither Ni(2+) nor TTA-P2, the T-type VGCC blockers, had an effect. Inhibitors of VGCC nicardipine, ω-conotoxin GVIA, ω-conotoxin MVIIC, ω-agatoxin IVA (for L-, N-, P and P/Q-type channels, respectively) did not affect [Ca(2+)]i oscillations. In contrast, a specific R-type VGCC blocker SNX-482 attenuated [Ca(2+)]i oscillations. Incubation with TTX had no effect, whereas removal of the extracellular Na(+) or application of an inhibitor of the reverse operation mode of Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger KB-R7943 blocked the oscillations. The mitochondrial uncoupler CCCP irreversibly blocked spontaneous [Ca(2+)]i activity. Exposure of neurones to Ca(2+) mobilisers (thapsigargin, cyclopiazonic acid, caffeine and ryanodine); 4-aminopyridine (A-type K(+) current blocker); phospholipase C and adenylyl cyclase pathways blockers U-73122, Rp-cAMP, SQ-22536 and H-89 had no effect. Oscillations were blocked by GABA, but not by glutamate, apamin or dynorphin. In conclusion, spontaneous oscillations in magnocellular neurones are mediated by a concerted action of R-type Ca(2+) channels and the NCX fluctuating between forward and reverse modes.

Brain edema accompanying ischemic or traumatic brain injuries, originates from a disruption of ionic/neurotransmitter homeostasis that leads to accumulation of K(+) and glutamate in the extracellular space. Their increased uptake, predominantly provided by astrocytes, is associated with water influx via aquaporin-4 (AQP4). As the removal of perivascular AQP4 via the deletion of α-syntrophin was shown to delay edema formation and K(+) clearance, we aimed to elucidate the impact of α-syntrophin knockout on volume changes in individual astrocytes in situ evoked by pathological stimuli using three dimensional confocal morphometry and changes in the extracellular space volume fraction (α) in situ and in vivo in the mouse cortex employing the real-time iontophoretic method. RT-qPCR profiling was used to reveal possible differences in the expression of ion channels/transporters that participate in maintaining ionic/neurotransmitter homeostasis. To visualize individual astrocytes in mice lacking α-syntrophin we crossbred GFAP/EGFP mice, in which the astrocytes are labeled by the enhanced green fluorescent protein under the human glial fibrillary acidic protein promoter, with α-syntrophin knockout mice. Three-dimensional confocal morphometry revealed that α-syntrophin deletion results in significantly smaller astrocyte swelling when induced by severe hypoosmotic stress, oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) or 50 mM K(+). As for the mild stimuli, such as mild hypoosmotic or hyperosmotic stress or 10 mM K(+), α-syntrophin deletion had no effect on astrocyte swelling. Similarly, evaluation of relative α changes showed a significantly smaller decrease in α-syntrophin knockout mice only during severe pathological conditions, but not during mild stimuli. In summary, the deletion of α-syntrophin markedly alters astrocyte swelling during severe hypoosmotic stress, OGD or high K(+).

The purpose of the present study was to assess the impact of brief daily reoxygenation during adaptation to chronic continuous hypoxia (CCH) on protective cardiac phenotype. Adult male Wistar rats were kept at CCH (10% oxygen) for 5, 15 or 30 days; a subgroup of animals was exposed to room air daily for a single 60-min period. While 5 days of CCH did not affect myocardial infarction induced by 20-min coronary artery occlusion and 3-h reperfusion, 15 days reduced infarct size from 62% of the area at risk in normoxic controls to 52%, and this protective effect was more pronounced after 30 days (41%). Susceptibility to ischemic ventricular arrhythmias exhibited reciprocal development. CCH increased myocardial abundance of mitochondrial superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) without affecting malondialdehyde concentration. Daily reoxygenation abolished both the infarct size-limiting effect of CCH and MnSOD upregulation, and increased malondialdehyde (by 53%). Ventricular cardiomyocytes isolated from CCH rats exhibited better survival and lower lactate dehydrogenase release caused by simulated ischemia/reperfusion than cells from normoxic and daily reoxygenated groups. The cytoprotective effects of CCH were attenuated by the large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BKCa) channel blocker paxilline, while the opener NS1619 reduced cell injury in the normoxic group but not in the CCH group. Daily reoxygenation restored the NS1619- induced protection, whereas paxilline had no effect, resembling the pattern observed in the normoxic group. The results suggest that CCH is cardioprotective and brief daily reoxygenation blunts its salutary effects, possibly by a mechanism involving oxidative stress and attenuation of the activation of mitochondrial BKCa channels.
