Abstract
Affinity-purified antibodies against the C-terminal region of the Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE-1) were used to analyse the carbohydrate moiety of the protein. The Na+/H+ exchanger in human placental brush-border membranes has an apparent molecular mass of 105 kDa. Incubation of intact or detergent-solubilized membranes with glycopeptidase F removed the carbohydrate moiety and increased the apparent mobility of the exchanger. Digestion with endoglycosidase-F caused a similar change in mobility, but endoglycosidase-H had no effect, suggesting that the placental Na+/H+ exchanger is a glycoprotein of the biantennary complex type. Removal of the carbohydrate moiety with glycopeptidase F had no effect on the ability of the protein to promote the exchange of Na+ for H+, and had no detectable effect on the sensitivity of the exchanger to trypsin. Limited digestion with glycopeptidase F and neuraminidase indicated the presence of two intermediate forms between the fully glycosylated and the deglycosylated protein. This suggests the presence of at least two, and possibly three, N-linked carbohydrate moieties.
