Mechanisms and consequences of casein kinase II and ankyrin-3 regulation of the epithelial Na+ channel

Abstract Activity of the Epithelial Na+ Channel (ENaC) in the distal nephron fine-tunes renal sodium excretion. Appropriate sodium excretion is a key factor in the regulation of blood pressure. Consequently, abnormalities in ENaC function can cause hypertension. Casein Kinase II (CKII) phosphorylate...

Appropriate sodium excretion is a key factor in the regulation of blood pressure. Consequently, abnormalities in ENaC function can cause hypertension. Casein Kinase II (CKII) phosphorylates ENaC. The CKII phosphorylation site in ENaC resides within a canonical “anchor” ankyrin binding motif.

In addition, we substituted a key serine residue in the consensus CKII site in β-ENaC with alanine to abrogate phosphorylation and disrupt the anchor motif. Findings show that disrupting CKII signaling decreases ENaC activity by decreasing expression in the plasma membrane. In the principal cell-specific Ank-3 KO mouse, ENaC activity and sodium excretion were significantly decreased and increased, respectively. These results are consistent with CKII phosphorylation of ENaC functioning as a “switch” that favors Ank-3 binding to increase channel activity.Tarek Mohamed Abd El-AzizAntonio G.
