Abstract

The ubiquitously expressed Na-H exchanger, NHE1, acts downstream of RhoA in a pathway regulating focal adhesion and actin stress fiber formation. p160ROCK, a serine/threonine protein kinase, is a direct RhoA target mediating RhoA-induced assembly of focal adhesions and stress fibers. Here, stress fiber formation induced by p160ROCK was inhibited by the addition of a specific NHE1 inhibitor, ethylisopropylamiloride, in CCL39 fibroblasts, and was absent in PS120 mutant fibroblasts lacking NHE1. In CCL39 cells, NHE1 activity was stimulated by expression of mutationally active p160ROCK, but not by mutationally active protein kinase N, another RhoA target kinase. Expression of a dominant interfering p160ROCK inhibited RhoA-, but not Cdc42- or Rac-activation of NEH1. In addition, the p160ROCK-specific inhibitor Y-27632 inhibited increases in NHE1 activity in response to RhoA, and to lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), which stimulates RhoA, and it also inhibited LPA-increased phosphorylation of NHE1. A C-terminal truncation of NHE1 abolished both LPA-induced phosphorylation and activation of the exchanger. Furthermore, mutationally active p160ROCK phosphorylated an NHE1 C-terminal fusion protein in vitro, and this was inhibited in the presence of Y-27632. Phosphopeptide maps indicated that identical residues in NHE1 were phosphorylated by p160ROCK in vivo and in vitro. These findings identify p160ROCK as an upstream, possibly direct, activator of NHE1, and suggest that NHE1 activity and phosphorylation are necessary for actin stress fiber assembly induced by p160ROCK.
