7th Asia-Pacific Biotech Congress Beijing, China, July 2015
Physiological significance of pH regulation
Acid-base balance in vivo affects:(1) Cell survival(2) Cell migration and wound healing(3) Protein folding/assembly(4) Na+ homeostasis(5) Solute transport(6) Cell signaling(7) Bone remodeling…(8) Neuronal excitability….Ion channel gating, neurotransmitter releasing.(9) Muscle contraction(10) Fertility And many more others……

A fundamental question:Why some transporters (NBCe1, NBCe2) are electrogenic, and some (e.g., NBCn1, NBCn2) are electroneutral? What is the structural basis to determine the electrogenicity vs electroneutrality of the transporter?

Extracellular
The fourth extracellular loop (EL4) is the key structural elements determining the electrogenicity versus electroneutrality of NCBTs
Manipulation of homologous replacement on EL4 can interconvert NCBTs between electrogenic and electroneutral modes. (Chen LM et al, J Physiol, 2011)

1. The NCBTs of SLC4 family are a major group of pH regulators widely expressed in diverse tissues, playing vital physiological and pathological roles. They could be potential targets for drug development.
2. The five NCBT genes produce a great extend of diversities in their expression products by using alternative promoters and alternative splicing of pre-mRNAs.
3. The expression of different variants of a same NCBT is highly tissue and cell-type specific.
4. The optional structural elements of NCBTs could play important role in the functional regulation of the transporters.
