Acid-secreting intercalated cells of the kidney collecting duct and tumor cells of renal oncocytoma express an anion exchanger that is immunologically related but not identical to the chloride-bicarbonate anion exchanger of erythrocytes (AE1). In this study, we have mapped the binding site of a monoclonal antibody against erythroid AE1 that does not react with either intercalated cells or oncocytoma. The epitope is located close to the NH2 terminus of AE1, indicating that AE1 in intercalated cells and oncocytoma differs in its NH2 terminus from erythroid AE1. This conclusion was supported by an antibody directed against residues 1-14 of erythroid AE1 that does not react with intercalated cells in oncocytoma. Polymerase chain reaction performed with mRNA from a human kidney revealed that the sequence containing the codons for Met-1 and Met-33 in erythroid mRNA is missing in the kidney transcript, whereas the sequence coding for Met-66 is present. DNA sequence data derived from cloning the 5' end of the human kidney AE1 mRNA clearly showed that the 5' untranslated region comprises part of intron 3, the complete exon 4 that is followed by exon 5 containing Met-66 as the site of translation initiation. Altogether, the results indicate that AE1 in the human kidney is an amino-terminally truncated form of erythroid AE1 that is restricted to the basolateral membrane domain of the acid-secreting intercalated cells of the collecting duct and is also expressed in oncocytoma.
