Evolutionary origins of eukaryotic sodium/proton exchangers

CL Brett, M Donowitz, R Rao - American Journal of …, 2005 - journals.physiology.org
More than 200 genes annotated as Na + /H + hydrogen exchangers (NHEs) currently reside
in bioinformation databases such as GenBank and Pfam. We performed detailed …

The Yeast Endosomal Na+(K+)/H+ Exchanger Nhx1 Regulates Cellular pH to Control Vesicle Trafficking

CL Brett, DN Tukaye, S Mukherjee… - Molecular biology of the …, 2005 - Am Soc Cell Biol
The relationship between endosomal pH and function is well documented in viral entry,
endosomal maturation, receptor recycling, and vesicle targeting within the endocytic pathway. …

Vps-C complexes: gatekeepers of endolysosomal traffic

DP Nickerson, CL Brett, AJ Merz - Current opinion in cell biology, 2009 - Elsevier
Genetic studies in yeast, plants, insects, and mammals have identified four universally
conserved proteins, together called Vps Class C, that are essential for late endosome and …

NHERF family and NHE3 regulation

M Donowitz, B Cha, NC Zachos, CL Brett… - The Journal of …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
The intestinal and renal proximal tubule brush border (BB) Na + –H + exchanger NHE3 binds
to members of the NHERF (Na + –H + exchanger regulatory factor) family. These are four …

Human Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 6 is found in recycling endosomes of cells, not in mitochondria

CL Brett, Y Wei, M Donowitz… - American Journal of …, 2002 - journals.physiology.org
Since the discovery of the first intracellular Na + /H + exchanger in yeast, Nhx1, multiple
homologs have been cloned and characterized in plants. Together, studies in these organisms …

Subunit organization and Rab interactions of Vps-C protein complexes that control endolysosomal membrane traffic

RL Plemel, BT Lobingier, CL Brett… - Molecular biology of …, 2011 - Am Soc Cell Biol
Traffic through late endolysosomal compartments is regulated by sequential signaling of small
G proteins of the Rab5 and Rab7 families. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Vps-C protein …

Efficient termination of vacuolar Rab GTPase signaling requires coordinated action by a GAP and a protein kinase

CL Brett, RL Plemel, BT Lobingier, M Vignali… - The Journal of cell …, 2008 - rupress.org
Rab guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases) are pivotal regulators of membrane identity and
dynamics, but the in vivo pathways that control Rab signaling are poorly defined. Here, we …

Transmembrane proton gradients drive ATP synthesis, metabolite transport, receptor recycling …

[HTML][HTML] Inhibition of sodium/proton exchange by a Rab-GTPase-activating protein regulates endosomal traffic in yeast

R Ali, CL Brett, S Mukherjee, R Rao - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2004 - ASBMB
Endosomal Na + /H + exchangers are important for salt and osmotolerance, vacuolar pH
regulation, and endosomal trafficking. We show that the C terminus of yeast Nhx1 interacts with …
