The renal thiazide-sensitive Na+-Cl− cotransporter (NCC) is the salt transporter in the distal convoluted tubule. Its activity is fundamental for defining blood pressure levels. Decreased NCC activity is associated with salt-remediable arterial hypotension with hypokalemia (Gitelman disease), while increased activity results in salt-sensitive arterial hypertension with hyperkalemia (pseudohypoaldosteronism type II; PHAII). The discovery of four different genes causing PHAII revealed a complex multiprotein system that regulates the activity of NCC. Two genes encode for with-no-lysine (K) kinases WNK1 and WNK4, while two encode for kelch-like 3 (KLHL3) and cullin 3 (CUL3) proteins that form a RING type E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. Extensive research has shown that WNK1 and WNK4 are the targets for the KLHL3-CUL3 complex and that WNKs modulate the activity of NCC by means of intermediary Ste20-type kinases known as SPAK or OSR1. The understanding of the effect of WNKs on NCC is a complex issue, but recent evidence discussed in this review suggests that we could be reaching the end of the dark ages regarding this matter.

ABSTRACT Mutations in the with-no-lysine kinase 1 (WNK1), WNK4, kelch-like 3 (KLHL3), and cullin3 (CUL3) genes are known to cause the hereditary disease pseudohypoaldosteronism type II (PHAII). It was recently demonstrated that this results from the defective degradation of WNK1 and WNK4 by the KLHL3/CUL3 ubiquitin ligase complex. However, the other physiological in vivo roles of KLHL3 remain unclear. Therefore, here we generated KLHL3 −/− mice that expressed β-galactosidase (β-Gal) under the control of the endogenous KLHL3 promoter. Immunoblots of β-Gal and LacZ staining revealed that KLHL3 was expressed in some organs, such as brain. However, the expression levels of WNK kinases were not increased in any of these organs other than the kidney, where WNK1 and WNK4 increased in KLHL3−/− mice but not in KLHL3+/− mice. KLHL3−/− mice also showed PHAII-like phenotypes, whereas KLHL3+/− mice did not. This clearly demonstrates that the heterozygous deletion of KLHL3 was not sufficient to cause PHAII, indicating that autosomal dominant type PHAII is caused by the dominant negative effect of mutant KLHL3. We further demonstrated that the dimerization of KLHL3 can explain this dominant negative effect. These findings could help us to further understand the physiological roles of KLHL3 and the pathophysiology of PHAII caused by mutant KLHL3.
