Anion exchange protein 2(AE2) is amembrane transport proteinthat in humans is encoded by theSLC4A2gene.[5][6]AE2 is functionally similar to theBand 3Cl/HCO3exchangeprotein.

Micehave been used to explore the function of AE2. AE2 contributes tobasolateral membraneHCO3transport in thegastrointestinal tract.[7]AE2 is required forspermiogenesisin mice.[8]AE2 is required for normalosteoclastfunction.[9][10]The activity of AE2 is sensitive topH.[11]

AE3 has been suggested as a target for prevention ofdiabetic vasculopathy.[12]

Structure

[edit]

The cryo electron microscopic studies revealed that human AE2 protein forms a homodimer and stays in resting state of inward-facing conformation at physiological pH.[13]A loop between transmembrane (TM) helices 10 and 11 extends from TM domain into its cytoplamic domain, forming a "trigger" locking the TM helices in the resting state. In addition, the C-terminal loop (CTD loop) inserts into the anion binding pocket to further block its activities.

Mechanism of ion exchange

[edit]

During the process of acid secretion, the cellular pH increases, triggering the release of the "trigger" loop from the cytoplasmic domain.[14]This allows for the re-arrangement of the TM helices, while the CTD loop is forced out, enabling HCO3- binding. Further conformational changes then turn the AE2 protein into an outward-facing conformation, releasing HCO3- into the extracellular environment and capturing Cl- into the binding pocket. Finally, the AE2 protein returns to its inward-facing conformation and releases Cl- into the cytosol. This working cycle of the AE2 protein replaces a weak acid anion with a strong acid anion, thereby lowering the cellular pH and re-balancing pH homeostasis.
