Mutations in the anion exchanger pendrin are responsible for Pendred syndrome, an autosomal recessive disease characterized by deafness and goitre. Pendrin is highly expressed in kidney collecting ducts, where it acts as a chloride/bicarbonate exchanger and thereby contributes to the regulation of acid–base homoeostasis and blood pressure. The present study aimed to characterize the intrinsic properties of pendrin. Mouse pendrin was transfected in HEK (human embryonic kidney) 293 and OKP (opossum kidney proximal tubule) cells and its activity was determined by monitoring changes in the intracellular pH induced by variations of transmembrane anion gradients. Combining measurements of pendrin activity with mathematical modelling we found that its affinity for Cl−, HCO3− and OH− varies with intracellular pH, with increased activity at low intracellular pH. Maximal pendrin activity was also stimulated at low extracellular pH, suggesting the presence of both intracellular and extracellular proton regulatory sites. We identified five putative pendrin glycosylation sites, only two of which are used. Mutagenesis-induced disruption of pendrin glycosylation did not alter its cell-surface expression or polarized targeting to the apical membrane and basal activity, but fully abrogated its sensitivity to extracellular pH. The hither to unknown regulation of pendrin by external pH may constitute a key mechanism in controlling ionic exchanges across the collecting duct and inner ear.

The epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) plays an important role in controlling Na+ homeostasis, extracellular fluid volume, and blood pressure. Copper metabolism Murr1 domain-containing protein 1 (COMMD1) interacts with ENaC and downregulates ENaC. COMMD1 belongs to the COMMD family consisting of COMMD1–10, and all COMMD family members share a C-terminal COMM domain. Here, we report that COMMD2–10 also interacts with ENaC, and COMMD3 and COMMD9 were selected for further study. Amiloride-sensitive current in mammalian epithelia expressing ENaC was significantly reduced by COMMD3 or COMMD9, and ENaC expression at the cell surface was significantly decreased in the presence of COMMD3 or COMMD9. COMMD3 and COMMD9 retained their ability to reduce current when COMMD1 was knocked down. COMMD3 and COMMD9 were widely expressed in kidney and were colocalized with ENaC in renal collecting duct cells. These data suggest that COMMD3 and COMMD9 may be endogenous regulators of ENaC to regulate Na+ transport through altering ENaC cell surface expression.

In the mammalian kidney the fine control of Na+ reabsorption takes place in collecting duct principal cells where basolateral Na,K-ATPase provides the driving force for vectorial Na+ transport. In the cortical collecting duct (CCD), a rise in intracellular Na+ concentration ([Na+]i) was shown to increase Na,K-ATPase activity and the number of ouabain binding sites, but the mechanism responsible for this event has not yet been elucidated. A rise in [Na+]i caused by incubation with the Na+ ionophore nystatin, increased Na,K-ATPase activity and cell surface expression to the same extent in isolated rat CCD. In cultured mouse mpkCCDcl4 collecting duct cells, increasing [Na+]i either by cell membrane permeabilization with amphotericin B or nystatin, or by incubating cells in a K+-free medium, also increased Na,K-ATPase cell surface expression. The [Na+]i-dependent increase in Na,K-ATPase cell-surface expression was prevented by PKA inhibitors H89 and PKI. Moreover, the effects of [Na+]i and cAMP were not additive. However, [Na+]i-dependent activation of PKA was not associated with an increase in cellular cAMP but was prevented by inhibiting the proteasome. These findings suggest that Na,K-ATPase may be recruited to the cell membrane following an increase in [Na+]i through cAMP-independent PKA activation that is itself dependent on proteasomal activity.

Posterior Pituitary Gland

Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is released from the posterior pituitary gland during states of hyperosmolality or hypovolemia. AVP is a peptide hormone, with antidiuretic and antinatriuretic properties. It allows the kidneys to increase body water retention predominantly by increasing the cell surface expression of aquaporin water channels in the collecting duct alongside increasing the osmotic driving forces for water reabsorption. The antinatriuretic effects of AVP are mediated by the regulation of sodium transport throughout the distal nephron, from the thick ascending limb through to the collecting duct, which in turn partially facilitates osmotic movement of water. In this review, we will discuss the regulatory role of AVP in sodium transport and summarize the effects of AVP on various molecular targets, including the sodium-potassium-chloride cotransporter NKCC2, the thiazide-sensitive sodium-chloride cotransporter NCC, and the epithelial sodium channel ENaC.

Background/Aims: The cytokine interleukin-11 (IL-11) has important pro- and anti-inflammatory functions. It activates its target cells through binding to the IL-11 receptor (IL-11R), and the IL-11/IL-11R complex recruits a homodimer of glycoprotein 130 (gp130). N-linked glycosylation, a post-translational modification where complex oligosaccharides are attached to the side chain of asparagine residues, is often important for stability, folding and biological function of cytokine receptors. Methods: We generated different IL-11R mutants via site-directed mutagenesis and analyzed them in different cell lines via Western blot, flow cytometry, confocal microscopy and proliferation assays. Results: In this study, we identified two functional N-glycosylation sites in the D2 domain of the IL-11R at N127 and N194. While mutation of N127Q only slightly affects cell surface expression of the IL-11R, mutation of N194Q broadly prevents IL-11R appearance at the plasma membrane. Accordingly, IL-11R mutants lacking N194 are retained within the ER, whereas the N127 mutant is transported through the Golgi complex to the cell surface, uncovering a differential role of the two N-glycan sequons for IL-11R maturation. Interestingly, IL-11R mutants devoid of one or both N-glycans are still biologically active. Furthermore, the IL-11RN127Q/N194Q mutant shows no inducible shedding by ADAM10, but is rather constitutively released into the supernatant. Conclusion: Our results show that the two N-glycosylation sites differentially influence stability and proteolytic processing of the IL-11R, but that N-linked glycosylation is not a prerequisite for IL-11 signaling.

The Individual

We investigated the role of glycosylation in intracellular transport and cell surface expression of the vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (G) in cells expressing G protein from cloned cDNA. The individual contributions of the two asparagine-linked glycans of G protein to cell surface expression were assessed by site-directed mutagenesis of the coding sequence to eliminate one or the other or both of the glycosylation sites. One oligosaccharide at either position was sufficient for cell surface expression of G protein in transfected cells, and the rates of oligosaccharide processing were similar to the rate observed for wild-type protein. However, the nonglycosylated G protein synthesized when both glycosylation sites were eliminated did not reach the cell surface. This protein did appear to reach a Golgi-like region, as determined by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy, however, and was modified with palmitic acid. It was also apparently not subject to increased proteolytic breakdown.

Underlying Mechanisms

Trypsin-like serine proteases are essential in physiological processes. Studies have shown that N-glycans are important for serine protease expression and secretion, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we report a common mechanism of N-glycosylation in the protease domains of corin, enteropeptidase and prothrombin in calnexin-mediated glycoprotein folding and extracellular expression. This mechanism, which is independent of calreticulin and operates in a domain-autonomous manner, involves two steps: direct calnexin binding to target proteins and subsequent calnexin binding to monoglucosylated N-glycans. Elimination of N-glycosylation sites in the protease domains of corin, enteropeptidase and prothrombin inhibits corin and enteropeptidase cell surface expression and prothrombin secretion in transfected HEK293 cells. Similarly, knocking down calnexin expression in cultured cardiomyocytes and hepatocytes reduced corin cell surface expression and prothrombin secretion, respectively. Our results suggest that this may be a general mechanism in the trypsin-like serine proteases with N-glycosylation sites in their protease domains.

And Function

We previously reported the existence of multiple isoforms of human Nedd4-2 ( Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 285: F916–F929, 2003). When overexpressed in M-1 collecting duct epithelia, full-length Nedd4-2 (Nedd4-2), Nedd4-2 lacking the NH2-terminal C2 domain (Nedd4-2ΔC2), and Nedd4-2 lacking WW domains 2 and 3 (Nedd4-2ΔWW2,3) variably reduce benzamil-sensitive Na+ transport. We investigated the effect of each of the Nedd4-2 isoforms on cell surface expression and ubiquitination of ENaC subunits. We find that αENaC when transfected alone or with β and γENaC is expressed at the cell surface and this membrane expression is variably reduced by coexpression with each of the Nedd4-2 isoforms. Nedd4-2 reduces the half-life of ENaC subunits and enhances the ubiquitination of α, β, and γENaC subunits when expressed alone or together suggesting that each subunit is a target for Nedd4-2-mediated ubiquitination. As has been reported recently, we confirm that the surface-expressed pool of ENaC is multi-ubiquitinated. Inhibitors of the proteasome increase ubiquitination of ENaC subunits and stimulate Na+ transport in M-1 cells consistent with a role for the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in regulating Na+ transport in the collecting duct.

Glycosylation Sites

Site-directed mutagenesis has been used to remove 15 of the 18 potential N-linked glycosylation sites, in 16 combinations, from the human exon 11-minus receptor isoform. The three glycosylation sites not mutated were asparagine residues 25, 397 and 894, which are known to be important in receptor biosynthesis or function. The effects of these mutations on proreceptor processing into α and β subunits, cell-surface expression, insulin binding and receptor autophosphorylation were assessed in Chinese hamster ovary cells. The double mutants 16+78, 16+111, 16+215, 16+255, 337+418, the triple mutants 295+337+418, 295+418+514, 337+418+514 and 730+743+881 and the quadruple mutants 606+730+743+881 and 671+730+743+881 seemed normal by all criteria examined. The triple mutant 16+215+255 showed only low levels of correctly processed receptor on the cell surface, this processed receptor being autophosphorylated in response to insulin. The quadruple mutant 624+730+743+881 showed normal processing and ligand binding but exhibited a constitutively active tyrosine kinase as judged by autophosphorylation. Three higher-order mutants were constructed, two of which, 16+337+418+730+743+881 (∆6) and 16+295+337+418+730+743+881 (∆7a), seemed normal. The third construct, 16+337+418+514+730+743+881 (∆7b), was expressed at high levels on the cell surface, essentially as uncleaved proreceptor with only the small proportion of ∆7b that was correctly processed showing insulin-stimulated autophosphorylation. The mutations of ∆6 and ∆7a were incorporated into soluble ectodomains, which had affinities for insulin that were 4-fold that of wild-type ectodomain. The ∆6 ectodomain expressed in Lec8 cells was produced in quantity in a bioreactor for subsequent structural analysis.

Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor (NHERF), an essential protein cofactor in cAMP-mediated inhibition of Na+/H+ exchange transporter 3 (NHE3), facilitates the formation of a signal complex of proteins that includes NHE3, NHERF, and ezrin. This model for NHE3 regulation was developed in fibroblasts and its applicability to epithelial cells remains to be established. Opossum kidney (OK) cells were transfected with either empty vector (control), full-length mouse (m) NHERF(1–355), or a truncated mNHERF(1–325) that lacked ezrin binding and had been demonstrated in fibroblasts to bind NHE3 but not mediate its cAMP-associated inhibition. 8-Bromoadenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate (8-BrcAMP) at 10−4 M inhibited Na+/H+ exchange activity in control and OK cells expressing wild-type mNHERF(1–355) by >60% but by <10% in cells expressing mNHERF(1–325). NHE3 coimmunoprecipitated with mNHERF(1–325), but cAMP phosphorylation of NHE3 was impaired in cells expressing mNHERF(1–325). The inhibitory effect of hyperosmolality on NHE3 activity and the uptake of 3- O-methyl-d-glucose was the same in all three cell lines. Cell surface expression of NHE3 was not changed by cAMP in any of the cells lines. These data indicate that disruption of the NHERF-ezrin signal complex attenuates the inhibitory effect of cAMP on NHE3 activity in OK cells and provides evidence supporting the proposed model of protein kinase A regulation of NHE3 in epithelial cells.
