The surface distribution of the exchanger protein, externally tagged with the hemagglutinin (HA) epitope, was associated with underlying actin filaments in regions of cell-to-cell contact and also along stress fibers. After we treated cells with cytochalasin D, NCX1.1 protein colocalized with patches of fragmented filamentous actin (F-actin). In contrast, an HA-tagged deletion mutant of NCX1.1 that was missing much of the exchanger's central hydrophilic domain Delta(241-680) did not associate with F-actin. In cells expressing the wild-type exchanger, cytochalasin D inhibited allosteric Ca$^2+$ activation of NCX activity as shown by prolongation of the lag phase of low Ca$^2+$ uptake after initiation of the reverse (i.e., Ca$^2+$ influx) mode of NCX activity. Other agents that perturbed F-actin structure (methyl-beta-cyclodextrin, latrunculin B, and jasplakinolide) also increased the duration of the lag phase. In contrast, when reverse-mode activity was initiated after allosteric Ca$^2+$ activation, both cytochalasin D and methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (Me-beta-CD) stimulated NCX activity by approximately 70\%. The activity of the Delta(241-680) mutant, which does not require allosteric Ca$^2+$ activation, was also stimulated by cytochalasin D and Me-beta-CD. The increased activity after these treatments appeared to reflect an increased amount of exchanger protein at the cell surface. We conclude that wild-type NCX1.1 associates with the F-actin cytoskeleton, probably through interactions involving the exchanger's central hydrophilic domain, and that this association interferes with allosteric Ca$^2+$ activation.
