The Homo sapiens Na+/H+ antiporter NHA2 (SLC9B2) transports Na+ or Li+ in exchange for protons across cell membranes, and its dysfunction results in various pathologies. The activity of HsNHA2 is specifically inhibited by the flavonoid phloretin. Using bioinformatic modeling, we predicted two amino acids (R177 and S178) as being important for the binding of phloretin to the HsNHA2 molecule. Functional expression of HsNHA2 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and its site-directed mutagenesis revealed that while the R177T mutation resulted in an antiporter that was less sensitive to phloretin, the S178T mutation enhanced the inhibitory effect of phloretin on HsNHA2. Our data corroborate the transport properties of HsNHA2 and its interactions with an inhibitor and can be helpful for the development of new therapeutics targeting this antiporter and its pleiotropic physiological functions.
