Nephrolithiasis in the Slc26a6(-/-) mouse is accompanied by 50-75% reduction in intestinal oxalate secretion with unchanged intestinal oxalate absorption. The molecular identities of enterocyte pathways for oxalate absorption and for Slc26a6-independent oxalate secretion remain undefined. The reported intestinal expression of SO(4)(2-) transporter SLC26A2 prompted us to characterize transport of oxalate and other anions by human SLC26A2 and mouse Slc26a2 expressed in Xenopus oocytes. We found that hSLC26A2-mediated [(14)C]oxalate uptake (K(1/2) of 0.65 +/- 0.08 mM) was cis-inhibited by external SO(4)(2-) (K(1/2) of 3.1 mM). hSLC26A2-mediated bidirectional oxalate/SO(4)(2-) exchange exhibited extracellular SO(4)(2-) K(1/2) of 1.58 +/- 0.44 mM for exchange with intracellular [(14)C]oxalate, and extracellular oxalate K(1/2) of 0.14 +/- 0.11 mM for exchange with intracellular (35)SO(4)(2-). Influx rates and K(1/2) values for mSlc26a2 were similar. hSLC26A2-mediated oxalate/Cl(-) exchange and bidirectional SO(4)(2-)/Cl(-) exchange were not detectably electrogenic. Both SLC26A2 orthologs exhibited nonsaturable extracellular Cl(-) dependence for efflux of intracellular [(14)C]oxalate, (35)SO(4)(2-), or (36)Cl(-). Rate constants for (36)Cl(-) efflux into extracellular Cl(-), SO(4)(2-), and oxalate were uniformly 10-fold lower than for oppositely directed exchange. Acidic extracellular pH (pH(o)) inhibited all modes of hSLC26A2-mediated anion exchange. In contrast, acidic intracellular pH (pH(i)) selectively activated exchange of extracellular Cl(-) for intracellular (35)SO(4)(2-) but not for intracellular (36)Cl(-) or [(14)C]oxalate. Protein kinase C inhibited hSLC26A2 by reducing its surface abundance. Diastrophic dysplasia mutants R279W and A386V of hSLC26A2 exhibited similar reductions in uptake of both (35)SO(4)(2-) and [(14)C]oxalate. A386V surface abundance was reduced, but R279W surface abundance was at wild-type levels.
