Human RhAG ammonia channel is impaired by the Phe65Ser mutation in overhydrated stomatocytic red cells

Abstract: In red cells, Rh-associated glycoprotein (RhAG) acts as an ammonia channel, as demonstrated by stopped-flow analysis of ghost intracellular pH (pH(i)) changes. Recently, overhydrated hereditary stomatocytosis (OHSt), a rare dominantly inherited hemolytic anemia, was found to be associated with a mutation (Phe65Ser or Ile61Arg) in RHAG. Ghosts from the erythrocytes of four of the OHSt patients with a Phe65Ser mutation were resealed with a pH-sensitive probe and submitted to ammonium gradients. Alkalinization ra… Show more

“…1c, Stom-deficient: 2.58 ± 0.13 s −1 and Stom-positive: 4.89 ± 0.18 s −1 ). This decrease can be strictly correlated to a diminution of the AE1 activity, since similar expression levels of AE1 were previously demonstrated in Stom-deficient and Stom-positive RBCs12.…”

“…The identification, as stomatin partners, of the glucose transporter (GLUT1), as well as of anion exchanger 1 (AE1) and water channel aquaporin-1 (AQP1) suggests that stomatin within cholesterol-rich membrane domains plays a role as a membrane-bound scaffolding protein modulating transport proteins. While an interaction with GLUT1 is consistent with the previously demonstrated role of stomatin in regulating the switch from glucose to L-dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) transport in humans and a few other mammals11, our previous study performed on RBCs that express stomatin or not showed that the AQP1-mediated water transport across the membrane was unmodified in stomatin-deficient erythrocytes12. Concerning AE1 activity, to date, no study had demonstrated a role of stomatin in the chloride/bicarbonate exchange.…”

“…The causative gene of this condition is RHAG, encoding the Rh-associated glycoprotein (RhAG) which acts as an ammonia channel (Table 1). 50 Stomatin has been found at low or absent levels in OHS patients, but no mutations have been found in the encoding gene so far. 34 Moreover, a complex syndrome named stomatin-deficient cryohydrocytosis has been described.…”

“…In both cases, RBCs exhibit a leak to the univalent cations Na + and K + , resulting in altered intracellular cation content and cell volume alterations. Although PIEZO1 and RhAG gene mutations have been identified in xerocytosis [3133] and the overhydrated form [34], respectively, the molecular basis for both forms of hereditary stomatocytosis is still under investigation.…”
