The yeast Nha1p Na(+), K(+)/H(+) antiporter has a house-keeping role in pH and cation homeostasis. It is also needed to alleviate excess Na(+) or K(+) from the cytoplasm under high external concentrations of these cations. Erv14p, a putative cargo receptor for transmembrane proteins is required for trafficking of Nha1p from the endoplasmic reticulum to the plasma membrane. Sensitivity to high Na(+) concentrations of the erv14 mutant associated to the intracellular mislocalization of Nha1p-GFP, together with a lower Na(+) efflux, indicate the involvement of this mutual association to accomplish the survival of the yeast cell upon sodium stress. This observation is supported by the protein-protein interaction between Erv14p and Nha1p detected by the mating-based Split Ubiquitin System and co-immunoprecipitation assays. Our results indicate that even though Erv14p interacts with Nha1p through the TMD, the C-terminal is important not only for the efficient delivery of Nha1p to the plasma membrane but also for its dimerization to accomplish its role in yeast salt tolerance.
