AbstractThe secondary active transporter NBCe1 couples the transmembrane movement of Na+and carbonate species with an apparent stoichiometry of 1Na+:2HCO3−(the ‘influx’ mode) or 1Na+:3HCO3−(the ‘efflux’ mode). Here, we employed molecular biology, electrophysiology and structural biology approaches to investigate the molecular mechanism for the transport coupling of Na+and HCO3−in NBCe1. InXenopusoocytes, decreasing extracellular [HCO3−] from 66 to 4 mmprogressively decreases the Na+affinity of NBCe1. However, decreasing [Na+] from 96 to 35 mmhas little effect on the HCO3−affinity. The residues responsible for the coordination of Na+and HCO3−in the substrate pocket of NBCe1 were respectively determined by mutational and molecular simulation studies. Mutation to the residues for HCO3−coordination decreased the affinities of NBCe1 for both Na+and HCO3−. However, mutation to the residues for Na+coordination decreased the affinity for Na+but had little effect on the affinity for HCO3−. Molecular simulation showed that NBCe1 has the capacity to coordinate only two ions of HCO3−or CO32−. We propose that (1) NBCe1 has an ordered substrate‐binding kinetics with the binding of HCO3−preceding that of Na+; (2) NBCe1 operating in the influx mode moves 1Na++ 2HCO3−, whereas NBCe1 in the efflux mode moves 1Na++ 1HCO3−+ 1CO32−. The substrate‐binding kinetics of NBCe1 is distinct from the known kinetics models of many other Na+‐coupled transporters with Na+binding preceding the driven solute.Key pointsUnder physiological conditions, the secondary active transporter NBCe1 can operate in the ‘influx’ mode with an apparent stoichiometry of 1Na+:2HCO3−or in the ‘efflux’ mode with an apparent stoichiometry of 1Na+:3HCO3−.NBCe1 has an ordered substrate‐binding kinetics with HCO3−preceding the binding of Na+. The kinetics of NBCe1 is distinct from the known kinetics of many other Na+‐driven cotransporters for which the binding of Na+usually precedes the driven substrate.The residues responsible for the coordination of Na+and those for carbonate species in the substrate‐binding pocket of NBCe1 were determined by mutation and molecular simulation studies.The substrate‐binding pocket of NBCe1 contains just two coordination sites for HCO3−or CO32−. It is proposed that NBCe1 in the influx mode moves 1Na++ 2HCO3−across the plasma membrane, whereas NBCe1 in the efflux mode moves 1Na++1HCO3−+1CO32−.
