PG - 1-16 LID - 10.1007/s00232-018-0053-8 [doi] AB - The present research report describes Na(+)/H(+) antiport by brush border membrane vesicles isolated from whole larvae of Aedes aegypti (AeBBMVw). Our hypothesis is that acid quenching of acridine orange by AeBBMVw is predominantly mediated by Na(+)/H(+) antiport via the NHA1 component of the AeBBMVw in the absence of amino acids and ATP. AeNHA1 is a Na(+)/H(+) antiporter that has been postulated to exchange Na(+) and H(+) across the apical plasma membrane in posterior midgut of A. aegypti larvae. Its principal function is to recycle the H(+) and Na(+) that are transported during amino acid uptake, e.g., phenylalanine. This uptake is mediated, in part, by a voltage-driven, Na(+)-coupled, nutrient amino acid transporter (AeNAT8). The voltage is generated by an H(+) V-ATPase. All three components, V-ATPase, antiporter, and nutrient amino acid transporter (VAN), are present in brush border membrane vesicles isolated from whole larvae of A. aegypti. By omitting ATP and amino acids, Na(+)/H(+) antiport was measured by fluorescence quenching of acridine orange (AO) caused by acidification of either the internal vesicle medium (Na(+)(in) > Na(+)(out)) or the external fluid-membrane interface (Na(+)(in) < Na(+)(out)). Vesicles with 100 micromolar Na(+) inside and 10 micromolar Na(+) outside or with 0.01 micromolar Na(+) inside and 100 micromolar Na(+) outside quenched fluorescence of AO by as much as 30%. Acidification did not occur in the absence of AeBBMVw. Preincubation of AeBBMVw with antibodies to NHA1 inhibit Na(+)/H(+) antiport dependent fluorescence quenching, indicating that AeNHA1 has a significant role in Na(+)/H(+) exchange.
