Abstract
During angiotensin II (ANG II)-dependent hypertension, ANG II stimulates, while hypertension inhibits, Na(+) transporter activity to balance Na(+) output to input. This study tests the hypothesis that ANG II infusion activates Na(+) transporters in the distal nephron while inhibiting transporters along the proximal nephron. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were infused with ANG II (400 ng·kg(-1)·min(-1)) or vehicle for 2 wk. Kidneys were dissected (cortex vs. medulla) or fixed for immunohistochemistry (IHC). ANG II increased mean arterial pressure by 40 mmHg, urine Na(+) by 1.67-fold, and urine volume by 3-fold, evidence for hypertension and pressure natriuresis. Na(+) transporters' abundance and activation [assessed by phosphorylation (-P) or proteolytic cleavage] were measured by immunoblot. During ANG II infusion Na(+)/H(+) exchanger 3 (NHE3) abundance decreased in both cortex and medulla; Na-K-2Cl cotransporter 2 (NKCC2) decreased in medullary thick ascending loop of Henle (TALH) and increased, along with NKCC2-P, in cortical TALH; Na-Cl cotransporter (NCC) and NCC-P increased in the distal convoluted tubule; and epithelial Na(+) channel subunits and their cleaved forms were increased in both cortex and medulla. Like NKCC2, STE20/SPS1-related proline alanine-rich kinase (SPAK) and SPAK-P were decreased in medulla and increased in cortex. By IHC, during ANG II NHE3 remained localized to proximal tubule microvilli at lower abundance, and the differential regulation of NKCC2 and NKCC2-P in cortex versus medulla was evident. In summary, ANG II infusion increases Na(+) transporter abundance and activation from cortical TALH to medullary collecting duct while the hypertension drives a natriuresis response evident as decreased Na(+) transporter abundance and activation from proximal tubule through medullary TALH.

Abstract
Mutations in with-no-lysine (K) kinase 4 (WNK4) and a ubiquitin E3 ligase complex component kelch-like 3 (KLHL3) both cause pseudohypoaldosteronism II (PHAII), a hereditary form of hypertension. We determined whether WNK4 or its effector is regulated by KLHL3 in Xenopus oocytes. KLHL3 inhibited the positive effect of WNK4 on Na(+)-Cl(-) cotransporter (NCC) by decreasing WNK4 protein abundance without decreasing that of NCC and the downstream kinase OSR1 directly. Ubiquitination and degradation of WNK4 were induced by KLHL3. The effect of KLHL3 on WNK4 degradation was blocked by a dominant negative form of cullin 3. All five PHAII mutations of KLHL3 tested disrupted the regulation on WNK4. We conclude that KLHL3 is a substrate adaptor for WNK4 in a ubiquitin E3 ligase complex.

Abstract
A serine-threonine protein kinase, WNK4, reduces Na⁺ reabsorption and K⁺ secretion in the distal convoluted tubule by reducing trafficking of the thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransporter to and enhancing renal outer medullary potassium channel retrieval from the apical membrane. Epithelial sodium channels (ENaC) in the distal nephron also play a role in regulating Na⁺ reabsorption and are also regulated by WNK4, but the mechanism is unclear. In A6 distal nephron cells, transepithelial current measurement and single channel recording show that WNK4 inhibits ENaC activity. Analysis of the number of channel per patch shows that WNK4 reduces channel number but has no effect on channel open probability. Western blots of apical and total ENaC provide additional evidence that WNK4 reduces apical as well as total ENaC expression. WNK4 enhances ENaC internalization independent of Nedd4-2-mediated ENaC ubiquitination. WNK4 also reduced the amount of ENaC available for recycling but has no effect on the rate of transepithelial current increase to forskolin. In contrast, Nedd4-2 not only reduced ENaC in the recycling pool but also decreased the rate of increase of current after forskolin. WNK4 associates with wild-type as well as Liddle's mutated ENaC, and WNK4 reduces both wild-type and mutated ENaC expressed in HEK293 cells.

Abstract
The SLC12 family encodes electroneutral cation-coupled chloride cotransporters that are critical for several physiological processes including cell volume regulation, modulation of intraneuronal chloride concentration, transepithelial ion movement, and blood pressure regulation. Members of this family are the targets of the most commonly used diuretic drugs, have been shown to be the causative genes for inherited disease such as Gitelman, Bartter and Andermann syndromes, and potentially play a role in polygenic complex diseases like arterial hypertension, epilepsy, osteoporosis, and cancer.

Abstract
We have previously shown that angiotensin II type 1 receptor-associated protein (ATRAP/Agtrap) interacts with the angiotensin II type 1 receptor and promotes constitutive internalization of the receptor so as to inhibit the pathological activation of its downstream signaling but preserve baseline physiological signaling activity. The present study was designed to investigate the role of renal ATRAP in angiotensin II-dependent hypertension. We generated transgenic mice dominantly expressing ATRAP in the renal tubules, including renal distal tubules. The renal ATRAP transgenic mice exhibited no significant change in blood pressure at baseline on normal salt diet. However, in the renal ATRAP transgenic mice compared with wild-type mice, the following took place: (1) the development of high blood pressure in response to angiotensin II infusion was significantly suppressed based on radiotelemetry, (2) the extent of daily positive sodium balance was significantly reduced during angiotensin II infusion in metabolic cage analysis, and (3) the renal Na+ -Cl- cotransporter activation and α-subunit of the epithelial sodium channel induction by angiotensin II infusion were inhibited. Furthermore, adenoviral overexpression of ATRAP suppressed the angiotensin II-mediated increase in the expression of α-subunit of the epithelial sodium channel in mouse distal convoluted tubule cells. These results indicate that renal tubule-dominant ATRAP activation provokes no evident effects on blood pressure at baseline but exerts an inhibitory effect on the pathological elevation of blood pressure in response to angiotensin II stimulation, thereby suggesting that ATRAP is a potential target of interest in blood pressure modulation under pathological conditions.

Abstract
Proteinase-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) is a G protein-coupled membrane receptor that is activated upon cleavage of its extracellular N-terminal domain by trypsin and related proteases. PAR2 is expressed in kidney collecting ducts, a main site of control of Na(+) and K(+) homeostasis, but its function remains unknown. We evaluated whether and how PAR2 might control electrolyte transport in collecting ducts, and thereby participate in the regulation of blood pressure and plasma K(+) concentration. PAR2 is expressed at the basolateral border of principal and intercalated cells of the collecting duct where it inhibits K(+) secretion and stimulates Na(+) reabsorption, respectively. Invalidation of PAR2 gene impairs the ability of the kidney to control Na(+) and K(+) balance and promotes hypotension and hypokalemia in response to Na(+) and K(+) depletion, respectively. This study not only reveals a new role of proteases in the control of blood pressure and plasma potassium level, but it also identifies a second membrane receptor, after angiotensin 2 receptor, that differentially controls sodium reabsorption and potassium secretion in the late distal tubule. Conversely to angiotensin 2 receptor, PAR2 is involved in the regulation of sodium and potassium balance in the context of either stimulation or nonstimulation of the renin/angiotensin/aldosterone system. Therefore PAR2 appears not only as a new actor of the aldosterone paradox, but also as an aldosterone-independent modulator of blood pressure and plasma potassium.

Abstract
SPAK (Ste20-related proline alanine rich kinase) and OSR1 (oxidative stress responsive kinase) are members of the germinal center kinase VI subfamily of the mammalian Ste20 (Sterile20)-related protein kinase family. Although there are 30 enzymes in this protein kinase family, their conservation across the fungi, plant, and animal kingdom confirms their evolutionary importance. Already, a large volume of work has accumulated on the tissue distribution, binding partners, signaling cascades, and physiological roles of mammalian SPAK and OSR1 in multiple organ systems. After reviewing this basic information, we will examine newer studies that demonstrate the pathophysiological consequences to SPAK and/or OSR1 disruption, discuss the development and analysis of genetically engineered mouse models, and address the possible role these serine/threonine kinases might have in cancer proliferation and migration.

Abstract
The renal distal tubule Na-Cl cotransporter (NCC) reabsorbs <10% of the filtered Na(+) but is a key control point for blood pressure regulation by angiotensin II (ANG II), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI), and thiazide diuretics. This study aimed to determine whether NCC phosphorylation (NCCp) was regulated by acute (20-30 min) treatment with the ACEI captopril (12 μg/min × 20 min) or by a sub-pressor dose of ANG II (20 ng·kg(-1)·min(-1)) in Inactin-anesthetized rats. By immuno-EM, NCCp was detected exclusively in or adjacent to apical plama membranes (APM) in controls and after ACEI or ANG II treatment, while NCC total was detected in both APM and subapical cytoplasmic vesicles (SCV) in all conditions. In renal homogenates, neither ACEI nor ANG II treatment altered NCCp abundance, assayed by immunoblot. However, by density gradient fractionation we identified a pool of low-density APM in which NCCp decreased 50% in response to captopril and was restored during ANG II infusion, and another pool of higher-density APM that responded reciprocally, indicative of regulated redistribution between two APM pools. In both pools, NCCp was preferentially localized to Triton-soluble membranes. Blue Native gel electrophoresis established that APM NCCp localized to ~700 kDa complexes (containing γ-adducin) while unphosphorylated NCC in intracellular membranes primarily localized to ~400 kDa complexes: there was no evidence for native monomeric or dimeric NCC or NCCp. In summary, this study demonstrates that phosphorylated NCC, localized to multimeric complexes in the APM, redistributes in a regulated manner within the APM in response to ACEI and ANG II.

Abstract
The R1185C mutation in WNK4 is associated with pseudohypoaldosteronism type II (PHAII). Unlike other PHAII-causing mutations in the acidic motif, the R1185C mutation is located in the COOH-terminal region of WNK4. The goal of the study is to determine what properties of WNK4 are disrupted by the R1185C mutation. We found that the R1185C mutation is situated in the middle of a calmodulin (CaM) binding site and the mutation reduces the binding of WNK4 to Ca(2+)/CaM. The R1185C mutation is also close to serum- and glucocorticoid-induced protein kinase (SGK1) phosphorylation sites S1190 and S1217. In addition, we identified a novel SGK1 phosphorylation site (S1201) in WNK4, and phosphorylation at this site is reduced by Ca(2+)/CaM. In the wild-type WNK4, the level of phosphorylation at S1190 is the lowest and that at S1217 is the highest. In the R1185C mutant, phosphorylation at S1190 is eliminated and that at S1201 becomes the strongest. The R1185C mutation enhances the positive effect of WNK4 on the Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl(-) cotransporter 2 (NKCC2) as tested in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Deletion of the CaM binding site or phospho-mimicking at two or three of the SGK1 sites enhances the WNK4 effects on NKCC2. These results indicate that the R1185C mutation disrupts an inhibitory domain as part of the suppression mechanism of WNK4, leading to an elevated WNK4 activity at baseline. The presence of CaM binding and SGK1 phosphorylation sites in or close to the inhibitory domain suggests that WNK4 activity is subject to the regulation by intracellular Ca(2+) and phosphorylation.

Abstract
The activity of the renal thiazide-sensitive NaCl cotransporter (NCC) in the distal convoluted tubule plays a key role in defining arterial blood pressure levels. Increased or decreased activity of the NCC is associated with arterial hypertension or hypotension, respectively. Thus it is of major interest to understand the activity of NCC using in vivo models. Phosphorylation of certain residues of the amino-terminal domain of NCC has been shown to be associated with its activation. The development of phospho-specific antibodies against these sites provides a powerful tool that is helping to increase our understanding of the molecular physiology of NCC. Additionally, NCC expression in the plasma membrane is modulated by ubiquitylation, which represents another major mechanism for regulating protein activity. This work presents a review of our current knowledge of the regulation of NCC activity by phosphorylation and ubiquitylation.

Abstract
STE20/SPS-1-related proline-alanine-rich protein kinase (SPAK) and oxidative stress-related kinase (OSR1) activate the potassium-dependent sodium-chloride co-transporter, NKCC2, and thiazide-sensitive sodium-chloride cotransporter, NCC, in vitro, and both co-localize with a kinase regulatory molecule, Cab39/MO25α, at the apical membrane of the thick ascending limb (TAL) and distal convoluted tubule (DCT). Yet genetic ablation of SPAK in mice causes a selective loss of NCC function, whereas NKCC2 becomes hyperphosphorylated. Here, we explore the underlying mechanisms in wild-type and SPAK-null mice. Unlike in the DCT, OSR1 remains at the TAL apical membrane of KO mice where it is accompanied by an increase in the active, phosphorylated form of AMP-activated kinase. We found an alterative SPAK isoform (putative SPAK2 form), which modestly inhibits co-transporter activity in vitro, is more abundant in the medulla than the cortex. Thus, enhanced NKCC2 phosphorylation in the SPAK knock-out may be explained by removal of inhibitory SPAK2, sustained activity of OSR1, and activation of other kinases. By contrast, the OSR1/SPAK/M025α signaling apparatus is disrupted in the DCT. OSR1 becomes largely inactive and displaced from M025α and NCC at the apical membrane, and redistributes to dense punctate structures, containing WNK1, within the cytoplasm. These changes are paralleled by a decrease in NCC phosphorylation and a decrease in the mass of the distal convoluted tubule, exclusive to DCT1. As a result of the dependent nature of OSR1 on SPAK in the DCT, NCC is unable to be activated. Consequently, SPAK(-/-) mice are highly sensitive to dietary salt restriction, displaying prolonged negative sodium balance and hypotension.
