Abstract
To maintain an optimal body content of phosphorus throughout postnatal life, variable phosphate absorption from food must be finely matched with urinary excretion. This amazing feat is accomplished through synchronised phosphate transport by myriads of ciliated cells lining the renal proximal tubules. These respond in real time to changes in phosphate and composition of the renal filtrate and to hormonal instructions. How they do this has stimulated decades of research. New analytical techniques, coupled with incredible advances in computer technology, have opened new avenues for investigation at a sub-cellular level. There has been a surge of research into different aspects of the process. These have verified long-held beliefs and are also dramatically extending our vision of the intense, integrated, intracellular activity which mediates phosphate absorption. Already, some have indicated new approaches for pharmacological intervention to regulate phosphate in common conditions, including chronic renal failure and osteoporosis, as well as rare inherited biochemical disorders. It is a rapidly evolving field. The aim here is to provide an overview of our current knowledge, to show where it is leading, and where there are uncertainties. Hopefully, this will raise questions and stimulate new ideas for further research.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) control extracellular phosphate levels by regulating renal NPT2A-mediated phosphate transport by a process requiring the PDZ scaffold protein NHERF1. NHERF1 possesses two PDZ domains, PDZ1 and PDZ2, with identical core-binding GYGF motifs explicitly recognizing distinct binding partners that play different and specific roles in hormone-regulated phosphate transport. The interaction of PDZ1 and the carboxy-terminal PDZ-binding motif of NPT2A (C-TRL) is required for basal phosphate transport. PDZ2 is a regulatory domain that scaffolds multiple biological targets, including kinases and phosphatases involved in FGF23 and PTH signaling. FGF23 and PTH trigger disassembly of the NHERF1-NPT2A complex through reversible hormone-stimulated phosphorylation with ensuing NPT2A sequestration, down-regulation, and cessation of phosphate absorption. In the absence of NHERF1-NPT2A interaction, inhibition of FGF23 or PTH signaling results in disordered phosphate homeostasis and phosphate wasting. Additional studies are crucial to elucidate how NHERF1 spatiotemporally coordinates cellular partners to regulate extracellular phosphate levels.

Abstract
A key question in receptor signaling is how specificity is realized, particularly when different receptors trigger the same biochemical pathway(s). A notable case is the two β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) subtypes, β1 and β2, in cardiomyocytes. They are both coupled to stimulatory Gs proteins, mediate an increase in cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), and stimulate cardiac contractility; however, other effects, such as changes in gene transcription leading to cardiac hypertrophy, are prominent only for β1-AR but not for β2-AR. Here, we employ highly sensitive fluorescence spectroscopy approaches, in combination with a fluorescent β-AR antagonist, to determine the presence and dynamics of the endogenous receptors on the outer plasma membrane as well as on the T-tubular network of intact adult cardiomyocytes. These techniques allow us to visualize that the β2-AR is confined to and diffuses within the T-tubular network, as opposed to the β1-AR, which is found to diffuse both on the outer plasma membrane as well as on the T-tubules. Upon overexpression of the β2-AR, this compartmentalization is lost, and the receptors are also seen on the cell surface. Such receptor segregation depends on the development of the T-tubular network in adult cardiomyocytes since both the cardiomyoblast cell line H9c2 and the cardiomyocyte-differentiated human-induced pluripotent stem cells express the β2-AR on the outer plasma membrane. These data support the notion that specific cell surface targeting of receptor subtypes can be the basis for distinct signaling and functional effects.

Abstract
Metabolic disorders are a group of interrelated conditions which increases the risk of developing heart diseases, stroke, and diabetes. These usually occur as a consequence of deficiency of enzymes involved in biochemical reactions in the body. The dietary habits, lack of physical exercise, stress, and genetic susceptibility leads to an increased risk of developing metabolic disorders. A diet rich in processed food items containing high calories aggravates the production of a purine metabolite, the uric acid (UA). UA functions as an antioxidant, protects against inflammation, aging, and cancer. It exists as urate ions in the circulation and blood level of UA is maintained by a balance between its production in the liver and its excretion by the renal tubules. The regular excretion of UA through the kidneys is necessary to maintain optimum blood levels of UA (3-7 mg/dl). There are various transporters of uric acid present around the renal tubules, which help in reabsorption of UA into the blood. These urate transporters (UT) are proteins coded in the genes. Mutations in these genes may prompt disturbances in UA reabsorption, and could lead to the development of hyperuricaemia, insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, diabetes and other metabolic diseases. This paper reviews eight such genes coding for UTs and attempts to unravel the link between the activities of UA, UTs, and the consequences during mutations in the genes coding for the UTs in the development of metabolic disorders. The genes reviewed included SLC2A9, SLC17A1, SLC22A12, SLC16A9, GCKR, LRRC16A, PDZK1, and ABCG2.

Abstract
Multicellular organisms are equipped with an array of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that mediate cell-cell signaling allowing them to adapt to environmental cues and ultimately survive. This is mechanistically possible through complex intracellular GPCR machinery that encompasses a vast network of proteins. Within this network, there is a group called scaffolding proteins that facilitate proper localization of signaling proteins for a quick and robust GPCR response. One protein family within this scaffolding group is the PSD-95/Dlg/ZO-1 (PDZ) family which is important for GPCR localization, internalization, recycling, and downstream signaling. Although the PDZ family of proteins regulate the functions of several receptors, this chapter focuses on a subfamily within the PDZ protein family called the Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factors (NHERFs). Here we extensively review the predominantly characterized roles of NHERFs in renal phosphate absorption, intestinal ion regulation, cancer progression, and immune cell functions. Finally, we discuss the future perspectives and possible clinical application of targeting NHERFs in several disorders.

Abstract
The proteasome inhibitor ixazomib (Izb) dissociates β-catenin from the PTH receptor to enhance PTH stimulation of β-catenin/TCF signaling through the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway. These findings provide a rationale for the use of Izb as an adjunct in the treatment of osteoporosis with PTH. The anabolic action of PTH in bone is mostly mediated by cAMP/PKA and Wnt-independent activation of β-catenin/T-cell factor (TCF) signaling. β-Catenin switches the PTH receptor (PTHR) signaling from cAMP/PKA to PLC/PKC activation by binding to the PTHR. Ixazomib (Izb) was recently approved as the first orally administered proteasome inhibitor for the treatment of multiple myeloma; it acts in part by inhibition of pathological bone destruction. Proteasome inhibitors were reported to stabilize β-catenin by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. However, how Izb affects PTHR activation to regulate β-catenin/TCF signaling is poorly understood. In the present study, using CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing technology, we show that Izb reverses β-catenin–mediated PTHR signaling switch and enhances PTH-induced cAMP generation and cAMP response element–luciferase activity in osteoblasts. Izb increases active forms of β-catenin and promotes β-catenin translocation, thereby dissociating β-catenin from the PTHR at the plasma membrane. Furthermore, Izb facilitates PTH-stimulated GSK3β phosphorylation and β-catenin phosphorylation. Thus Izb enhances PTH stimulation of β-catenin/TCF signaling via cAMP-dependent activation, and this effect is due to its separating β-catenin from the PTHR. These findings provide evidence that Izb may be used to improve the therapeutic efficacy of PTH for the treatment of osteoporosis and other resorptive bone diseases.

Abstract
Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor-1 (NHERF1) is a scaffolding protein containing two PSD95/discs large protein/ZO1 (PDZ) domains that modifies the signaling, trafficking, and function of the parathyroid hormone receptor (PTHR), a family B G-protein-coupled receptor. PTHR and NHERF1 bind through a PDZ-ligand-recognition mechanism. We show that PTH elicits phosphorylation of Thr591 in the canonical -ETVM binding motif of PTHR. Conservative substitution of Thr591 with Cys does not affect PTH(1-34)-induced cAMP production or binding of PTHR to NHERF1. The findings suggested the presence of additional sites upstream of the PDZ-ligand motif through which the two proteins interact. Structural determinants outside the canonical NHERF1 PDZ-PTHR interface that influence binding have not been characterized. We used molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to predict residues involved in these interactions. Simulation data demonstrate that the negatively charged Glu side chains at positions -3, -5, and -6 upstream of the PDZ binding motif are involved in PDZ-PTHR recognition. Engineered mutant peptides representing the PTHR C-terminal region were used to measure the binding affinity with NHERF1 PDZ domains. Comparable micromolar affinities for peptides of different length were confirmed by fluorescence polarization, isothermal titration calorimetry, and surface plasmon resonance. Binding affinities measured for Ala variants validate MD simulations. The linear relation between the change in enthalpy and entropy following Ala substitutions at upstream positions -3, -5, and -6 of the PTHR peptide provides a clear example of the thermodynamic compensation rule. Overall, our data highlight sequences in PTHR that contribute to NHERF1 interaction and can be altered to prevent phosphorylation-mediated inhibition.

Abstract
Directional flow of the cerebrospinal fluid requires coordinated movement of the motile cilia of the ependymal epithelium that lines the cerebral ventricles. Here we report that mice lacking the Na+/H+ Exchanger Regulatory Factor 1 (NHERF1/Slc9a3r1, also known as EBP50) develop profound communicating hydrocephalus associated with fewer and disorganized ependymal cilia. Knockdown of NHERF1/slc9a3r1 in zebrafish embryos also causes severe hydrocephalus of the hindbrain and impaired ciliogenesis in the otic vesicle. Ultrastructural analysis did not reveal defects in the shape or organization of individual cilia. Similar phenotypes have been described in animals with deficiencies in Wnt signaling and the Planar Cell Polarity (PCP) pathway. We show that NHERF1 binds the PCP core genes Frizzled (Fzd) and Vangl. We further show that NHERF1 assembles a ternary complex with Fzd4 and Vangl2 and promotes translocation of Vangl2 to the plasma membrane, in particular to the apical surface of ependymal cells. Taken together, these results strongly support an important role for NHERF1 in the regulation of PCP signaling and the development of functional motile cilia.

Abstract
The type-1 parathyroid hormone receptor (PTHR1) is a family B G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that mediates the actions of two polypeptide ligands; parathyroid hormone (PTH), an endocrine hormone that regulates the levels of calcium and inorganic phosphate in the blood by acting on bone and kidney, and PTH-related protein (PTHrP), a paracrine-factor that regulates cell differentiation and proliferation programs in developing bone and other tissues. The type-2 parathyroid hormone receptor (PTHR2) binds a peptide ligand, called tuberoinfundibular peptide-39 (TIP39), and while the biologic role of the PTHR2/TIP39 system is not as defined as that of the PTHR1, it likely plays a role in the central nervous system as well as in spermatogenesis. Mechanisms of action at these receptors have been explored through a variety of pharmacological and biochemical approaches, and the data obtained support a basic "two-site" mode of ligand binding now thought to be used by each of the family B peptide hormone GPCRs. Recent crystallographic studies on the family B GPCRs are providing new insights that help to further refine the specifics of the overall receptor architecture and modes of ligand docking. One intriguing pharmacological finding for the PTHR1 is that it can form surprisingly stable complexes with certain PTH/PTHrP ligand analogs and thereby mediate markedly prolonged cell signaling responses that persist even when the bulk of the complexes are found in internalized vesicles. The PTHR1 thus appears to be able to activate the Gα(s)/cAMP pathway not only from the plasma membrane but also from the endosomal domain. The cumulative findings could have an impact on efforts to develop new drug therapies for the PTH receptors.

Abstract
The type I parathyroid hormone receptor (PTH1R) mediates PTH and PTH-related protein (PTHrP) actions on extracellular mineral ion homeostasis and bone remodeling. These effects depend in part on the activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2). Sequences located within or at the carboxyl-terminus of PTH1R control its activation and trafficking. β-catenin regulates PTH1R signaling and promotes chondrocyte hypertrophy through binding to the intracellular carboxyl-terminal region of the receptor. How the interaction of PTH1R with β-catenin affects PTH-stimulated ERK1/2 is unknown. In the present study, human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells, which do not express the PTH1R, were used to investigate whether the disruption of β-catenin binding to PTH1R affects PTH-stimulated ERK1/2 activation. We demonstrated that β-catenin interacted with wild-type PTH1R but this interaction was markedly reduced with mutant PTH1R (L584A/L585A). PTH stimulated less cAMP formation and increased more intracellular calcium in HEK293 cells transfected with wild-type PTH1R compared with mutant PTH1R, indicating β-catenin switches PTH1R signaling from Gαs activation to Gαq signaling. In addition, ERK1/2 activation in HEK293 cells transfected with PTH1R exhibited time and concentration dependence. PTH-stimulated ERK1/2 activation was mostly mediated through Gαq/PLC signaling pathway. Importantly, transfection of mutant PTH1R decreased PTH-induced ERK1/2 activation by inhibiting Gαq-mediated signaling. This study shows for the first time that the interference of β-catenin binding to PTH1R inhibits PTH-stimulated ERK1/2 phosphorylation.

Abstract
The majority of hormones stimulates and mediates their signal transduction via G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). The signal is transmitted into the cell due to the association of the GPCRs with heterotrimeric G proteins, which in turn activates an extensive array of signaling pathways to regulate cell physiology. However, GPCRs also function as scaffolds for the recruitment of a variety of cytoplasmic protein-interacting proteins that bind to both the intracellular face and protein interaction motifs encoded by GPCRs. The structural scaffolding of these proteins allows GPCRs to recruit large functional complexes that serve to modulate both G protein-dependent and -independent cellular signaling pathways and modulate GPCR intracellular trafficking. This review focuses on GPCR interacting PSD95-disc large-zona occludens domain containing scaffolds in the regulation of endocrine receptor signaling as well as their potential role as therapeutic targets for the treatment of endocrinopathies.

Abstract
The ability of animals to sense and differentiate among thousands of odorants relies on a large set of olfactory receptors (OR) and a multitude of accessory proteins within the olfactory epithelium (OE). ORs and related signaling mechanisms have been the subject of intensive studies over the past years, but our knowledge regarding olfactory processing remains limited. The recent development of next generation sequencing (NGS) techniques encouraged us to assess the transcriptome of the murine OE. We analyzed RNA from OEs of female and male adult mice and from fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)-sorted olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) obtained from transgenic OMP-GFP mice. The Illumina RNA-Seq protocol was utilized to generate up to 86 million reads per transcriptome. In OE samples, nearly all OR and trace amine-associated receptor (TAAR) genes involved in the perception of volatile amines were detectably expressed. Other genes known to participate in olfactory signaling pathways were among the 200 genes with the highest expression levels in the OE. To identify OE-specific genes, we compared olfactory neuron expression profiles with RNA-Seq transcriptome data from different murine tissues. By analyzing different transcript classes, we detected the expression of non-olfactory GPCRs in ORNs and established an expression ranking for GPCRs detected in the OE. We also identified other previously undescribed membrane proteins as potential new players in olfaction. The quantitative and comprehensive transcriptome data provide a virtually complete catalogue of genes expressed in the OE and present a useful tool to uncover candidate genes involved in, for example, olfactory signaling, OR trafficking and recycling, and proliferation.

Abstract
Control of systemic inorganic phosphate (Pi) levels is crucial for osteoid mineralization. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) mediates actions on phosphate homeostasis mostly by regulating the activity of the type 2 sodium-phosphate cotransporter (Npt2), and this action requires the PDZ protein NHERF1. Osteoblasts express Npt2 and in response to PTH enhance osteogenesis by increasing mineralized matrix. The regulation of Pi transport in osteoblasts is poorly understood. To address this gap we characterized PTH-dependent Pi transport and the role of NHERF1 in primary mouse calvarial osteoblasts. Under proliferating conditions osteoblasts express Npt2a, Npt2b, PTH receptor, and NHERF1. Npt2a mRNA expression was lower in calvarial osteoblasts from NHERF1-null mice. Under basal conditions Pi uptake in osteoblasts from wild-type mice was greater than that of knockout mice. PTH inhibited Pi uptake in proliferating osteoblasts from wild-type mice, but not in cells from knockout mice. In vitro induction of mineralization enhanced osteoblast differentiation and increased osterix and osteocalcin expression. Contrary to the results with proliferating osteoblasts, PTH increased Pi uptake and ATP secretion in differentiated osteoblasts from wild-type mice. PTH had no effect on Pi uptake or ATP release in differentiated osteoblasts from knockout mice. NHERF1 regulation of PTH-sensitive Pi uptake in proliferating osteoblasts is mediated by cAMP/PKA and PLC/PKC, while modulation of Pi uptake in differentiated osteoblasts depends only on cAMP/PKA signaling. The results suggest that NHERF1 cooperates with PTH in differentiated osteoblasts to increase matrix mineralization. We conclude that NHERF1 regulates PTH that differentially affects Na-dependent Pi transport at distinct stages of osteoblast proliferation and maturation.

Abstract
We describe optical and microscopy methods based on Förster resonance energy transfer, fluorescence recovery after photobleaching, and imaging cross-correlation spectroscopy that permit to determine kinetic and dynamic properties of key reactions involved G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling from the initial ligand binding step to the generation of the second messenger, cAMP. Well suited to determine rate-limiting reactions taking place along a GPCR signaling cascade in live cells, these techniques have also uncovered new concepts in GPCR signaling as well as many interesting mechanistic subtleties by which GPCRs transmit neurotransmitter and hormone signals into cells.

Abstract
Background The anaphylatoxin C3a binds to the G protein coupled receptor (GPCR, C3aR) and activates divergent signaling pathways to induce degranulation and cytokine production in human mast cells. Adapter proteins such as the Na+/H+ exchange regulatory factor (NHERF1 and NHERF2) have been implicated in regulating functions of certain GPCRs by binding to the class I PDZ (PSD-95/Dlg/Zo1) motifs present on their cytoplasmic tails. Although C3aR possesses a class I PDZ motif, the possibility that it interacts with NHERF proteins to modulate signaling in human mast cells has not been determined. Methodology/Principal Findings Using reverse transcription PCR and Western blotting, we found that NHERF1 and NHERF2 are expressed in human mast cell lines (HMC-1, LAD2) and CD34+-derived primary human mast cells. Surprisingly, however, C3aR did not associate with these adapter proteins. To assess the roles of NHERFs on signaling downstream of C3aR, we used lentiviral shRNA to stably knockdown the expression of these proteins in human mast cells. Silencing the expression of NHERF1 and NHERF2 had no effect on C3aR desensitization, agonist-induced receptor internalization, ERK/Akt phosphorylation or chemotaxis. However, loss of NHERF1 and NHERF2 resulted in significant inhibition of C3a-induced mast cell degranulation, NF-κB activation and chemokine production. Conclusion/Significance This study demonstrates that although C3aR possesses a class I PDZ motif, it does not associate with NHERF1 and NHERF2. Surprisingly, these proteins provide stimulatory signals for C3a-induced degranulation, NF-κB activation and chemokine generation in human mast cells. These findings reveal a new level of complexity for the functional regulation of C3aR by NHERFs in human mast cells.

Abstract
Through binding to parathyroid hormone (PTH), PTH1R interacts with kidney-specific scaffold proteins, including the sodium hydrogen exchanger regulatory factors 1 and 2 (NHERFs), and ezrin. To facilitate in vivo localization, tetramethylrhodamine-labeled PTH (PTH-TMR) was used as a fluorescent probe. In mice, PTH-TMR localizes to luminal surfaces of tubular S1 segments that overlap PTH1R immunostaining, but does not directly overlap with megalin-specific antibodies. PTH-TMR staining directly overlaps with Npt2a in nascent, endocytic vesicles, marking the location of transporter regulation. PKA substrate antibodies display marked staining increases in segments labeled with PTH-TMR, demonstrating a functional effect. In the presence of secondary hyperparathyroidism, PTH-TMR staining is markedly reduced and shifts to co-localizing with megalin. At 15min post-injection, PTH-TMR-labeled vesicles do not co-localize with either NHERF or ezrin, suggesting PTH1R dissociation from the scaffold complex. At the 5min time point, PTH-TMR stains the base of microvilli where it localizes with both NHERF2 and ezrin, and only partially with NHERF1. Strikingly, the bulk of ezrin protein becomes undetectable with the polyclonal, CS3145 antibody, revealing a PTH-induced conformational change in the scaffold. A second ezrin antibody (3C12) is capable of detecting the altered ezrin protein. The CS3145 antibody only binds to the active form of ezrin and fails to recognize the inactive form, while the 3C12 reagent can detect either active or inactive ezrin. Here we show that the PTH1R is part of the ezrin scaffold complex and that acute actions of PTH suggest a rapid inactivation of ezrin in a spatially defined manner.

Abstract
GPCRs represent the largest family of integral membrane proteins and were first identified as receptor proteins that couple via heterotrimeric G-proteins to regulate a vast variety of effector proteins to modulate cellular function. It is now recognized that GPCRs interact with a myriad of proteins that not only function to attenuate their signalling but also function to couple these receptors to heterotrimeric G-protein-independent signalling pathways. In addition, intracellular and transmembrane proteins associate with GPCRs and regulate their processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, trafficking to the cell surface, compartmentalization to plasma membrane microdomains, endocytosis and trafficking between intracellular membrane compartments. The present review will overview the functional consequence of β-arrestin, receptor activity-modifying proteins (RAMPS), regulators of G-protein signalling (RGS), GPCR-associated sorting proteins (GASPs), Homer, small GTPases, PSD95/Disc Large/Zona Occludens (PDZ), spinophilin, protein phosphatases, calmodulin, optineurin and Src homology 3 (SH3) containing protein interactions with GPCRs.

Abstract
We have recently shown in a patient with mild bleeding that the PDZ-binding motif of the platelet G protein-coupled P2Y(12) receptor (P2Y(12)R) is required for effective receptor traffic in human platelets. In this study we show for the first time that the PDZ motif-binding protein NHERF1 exerts a major role in potentiating G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) internalization. NHERF1 interacts with the C-tail of the P2Y(12)R and unlike many other GPCRs, NHERF1 interaction is required for effective P2Y(12)R internalization. In vitro and prior to agonist stimulation P2Y(12)R/NHERF1 interaction requires the intact PDZ binding motif of this receptor. Interestingly on receptor stimulation NHERF1 no longer interacts directly with the receptor but instead binds to the receptor via the endocytic scaffolding protein arrestin. These findings suggest a novel model by which arrestin can serve as an adaptor to promote NHERF1 interaction with a GPCR to facilitate effective NHERF1-dependent receptor internalization.

Abstract
PTHR1 (type 1 parathyroid hormone receptors) mediate the effects of PTH (parathyroid hormone) on bone remodelling and plasma Ca2+ homoeostasis. PTH, via PTHR1, can stimulate both AC (adenylate cyclase) and increases in [Ca2+]i (cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration), although the relationship between the two responses differs between cell types. In the present paper, we review briefly the mechanisms that influence coupling of PTHR1 to different intracellular signalling proteins, including the G-proteins that stimulate AC or PLC (phospholipase C). Stimulus intensity, the ability of different PTH analogues to stabilize different receptor conformations ('stimulus trafficking'), and association of PTHR1 with scaffold proteins, notably NHERF1 and NHERF2 (Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor 1 and 2), contribute to defining the interactions between signalling proteins and PTHR1. In addition, cAMP itself can, via Epac (exchange protein directly activated by cAMP), PKA (protein kinase A) or by binding directly to IP3Rs [Ins(1,4,5)P3 receptors] regulate [Ca2+]i. Epac leads to activation of PLCϵ, PKA can phosphorylate and thereby increase the sensitivity of IP3Rs and L-type Ca2+ channels, and cAMP delivered at high concentrations to IP3R2 from AC6 increases the sensitivity of IP3Rs to InsP3. The diversity of these links between PTH and [Ca2+]i highlights the versatility of PTHR1. This versatility allows PTHR1 to evoke different responses when stimulated by each of its physiological ligands, PTH and PTH-related peptide, and it provides scope for development of ligands that selectively harness the anabolic effects of PTH for more effective treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
The renal excretion of inorganic phosphate is regulated in large measure by three hormones, namely, parathyroid hormone, dopamine, and fibroblast growth factor-23. Recent experiments have indicated that the major sodium-dependent phosphate transporter in the renal proximal tubule, Npt2a, binds to the adaptor protein sodium-hydrogen exchanger regulatory factor-1 (NHERF-1) and in the absence of NHERF-1, the inhibitory effect of these three hormones is absent. From these observations, a new model for the hormonal regulation of renal phosphate transport was developed. The downstream signaling pathways of these hormones results in the phosphorylation of the PDZ 1 domain of NHERF-1 and the dissociation of Npt2a/NHERF-1 complexes. In turn, this dissociation facilitates the endocytosis of Npt2a with a subsequent decrease in the apical membrane abundance of the transporter and a decrease in phosphate reabsorption. The current review outlines the experimental observations supporting the operation of this unique regulatory system.

Abstract
The Na(+)/H(+) exchange regulatory factor-1 (NHERF1) is a scaffolding protein that possesses two tandem PDZ domains and a carboxy-terminal ezrin-binding domain (EBD). The parathyroid hormone receptor (PTHR), type II sodium-dependent phosphate cotransporter (Npt2a), and β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR), through their respective carboxy-terminal PDZ-recognition motifs, individually interact with NHERF1 forming a complex with one of the PDZ domains. In the basal state, NHERF1 adopts a self-inhibited conformation, in which its carboxy-terminal PDZ ligand interacts with PDZ2. We applied molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to uncover the structural and biochemical basis for the binding selectivity of NHERF1 PDZ domains. PDZ1 uniquely forms several contacts not present in PDZ2 that further stabilize PDZ1 interactions with target ligands. The binding free energy (ΔG) of PDZ1 and PDZ2 with the carboxy-terminal, five-amino acid residues that form the PDZ-recognition motif of PTHR, Npt2a, and β2-AR was calculated and compared with the calculated ΔG for the self-association of NHERF1. The results suggest that the interaction of the PTHR, β2-adrenergic, and Npt2a involves competition between NHERF1 PDZ domains and the target proteins. The binding of PDZ2 with PTHR may also compete with the self-inhibited conformation of NHERF1, thereby contributing to the stabilization of an active NHERF1 conformation.

Abstract
We identified the WD-repeat-containing protein, WDR36, as an interacting partner of the β isoform of thromboxane A2 receptor (TPβ) by yeast two-hybrid screening. We demonstrated that WDR36 directly interacts with the C-terminus and the first intracellular loop of TPβ by in vitro GST-pulldown assays. The interaction in a cellular context was observed by co-immunoprecipitation, which was positively affected by TPβ stimulation. TPβ–WDR36 colocalization was detected by confocal microscopy at the plasma membrane in non-stimulated HEK293 cells but the complex translocated to intracellular vesicles following receptor stimulation. Coexpression of WDR36 and its siRNA-mediated knockdown, respectively, increased and inhibited TPβ-induced Gαq signalling. Interestingly, WDR36 co-immunoprecipitated with Gαq, and promoted TPβ–Gαq interaction. WDR36 also associated with phospholipase Cβ (PLCβ) and increased the interaction between Gαq and PLCβ, but prevented sequestration of activated Gαq by GRK2. In addition, the presence of TPβ in PLCβ immunoprecipitates was augmented by expression of WDR36. Finally, disease-associated variants of WDR36 affected its ability to modulate Gαq-mediated signalling by TPβ. We report that WDR36 acts as a new scaffold protein tethering a G-protein-coupled receptor, Gαq and PLCβ in a signalling complex.

Abstract
Many G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) exert patterns of cell-specific signaling and function. Mounting evidence now supports the view that cytoplasmic adapter proteins contribute critically to this behavior. Adapter proteins recognize highly conserved motifs such as those for Src homology 3 (SH3), phosphotyrosine-binding (PTB), and postsynaptic density 95/discs-large/zona occludens (PDZ) docking sequences in candidate GPCRs. Here we review the behavior of the Na+/H+ exchange regulatory factor (NHERF) family of PDZ adapter proteins on GPCR signalling, trafficking, and function. Structural determinants of NHERF proteins that allow them to recognize targeted GPCRs are considered. NHERF1 and NHERF2 are capable also of modifying the assembled complex of accessory proteins such as β-arrestins, which have been implicated in regulating GPCR signaling. In addition, NHERF1 and NHERF2 modulate GPCR signaling by altering the G protein to which the receptor binds or affect other regulatory proteins that affect GTPase activity, protein kinase A, phospholipase C, or modify downstream signaling events. Small molecules targeting the site of NHERF1-GPCR interaction are being developed and may become important and selective drug candidates.

Abstract
Homeostasis in the body is at least partially maintained by mechanisms that control membrane permeability, and thereby serve to control the uptake of essential substances (e.g., nutrients) and the efflux of unwanted substances (e.g., xenobiotics and metabolites) in epithelial cells. Various transporters play fundamental roles in such bidirectional transport, but little is known about how they are organized on plasma membranes. Protein-protein interactions may play a key role: several transporters in epithelial cells interact with the so-called adaptor proteins, which are membrane anchored and interact with both transporters and other membranous proteins. Although most of the evidences for transporter-adaptor interaction has been obtained in vitro, recent studies suggest that adaptor-mediated transporter regulation does occur in vivo and could be relevant to human diseases. Thus, protein-protein interaction is not only associated with the formation of macromolecular complexes but is also involved in various cellular events, and may provide transporters with additional functionality by forming transporter networks on plasma membranes. Interactions between xenobiotic transporters and PSD95/Dlg/ZO1 (PDZ) adaptors were previously reviewed by Kato and Tsuji (2006. Eur J Pharm Sci 27:487-500); the present review focuses on the latest findings about PDZ adaptors as regulators of transporter networks and their potential role in human diseases.

Abstract
Renal phosphate transport is mediated by the abundance and activity of the sodium-dependent phosphate transporters, Npt2a, Npt2c, and PiT-2, present within the apical brush border membrane of the proximal tubule. Recent studies have demonstrated differential expression and activity of these sodium-dependent phosphate transporters within the proximal tubule. In general, phosphate transport is regulated by a variety of physiological stimuli, including parathyroid hormone, glucocorticoids, vitamin D3, estrogen, and thyroid hormone. Phosphatonins are now recognized as major regulators of phosphate transport activity. Other factors that affect phosphate transport include dopamine, dietary phosphate, acid-base status, lipid composition, potassium deficiency, circadian rhythm, and hypertension. Studies have shown that the PDZ-containing sodium/hydrogen exchanger regulatory factor (NHERF) proteins, specifically NHERF-1 and NHERF-3, play a critical role in the physiological regulation of phosphate transport, particularly in response to dietary phosphate. In addition, recent studies have found that NHERF-1 is also important in both the parathyroid hormone- and dopamine-mediated inhibition of phosphate transport. This review will detail the various hormones and agents involved in the regulation of phosphate transport as well as provide a brief summary of the signaling pathways and cytoskeletal proteins active in the transport of phosphate in the renal proximal tubule.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates calcium homeostasis and bone remodeling through its cognitive receptor (PTHR). We describe here a PTHR isoform harboring an in-frame 42-bp deletion of exon 14 (Δe14-PTHR) that encodes transmembrane domain 7. Δe14-PTHR was detected in human kidney and buccal epithelial cells. We characterized its topology, cellular localization, and signaling, as well as its interactions with PTHR. The C-terminus of the Δe14-PTHR is extracellular, and cell surface expression is strikingly reduced compared with the PTHR. Δe14-PTHR displayed impaired trafficking and accumulated in endoplasmic reticulum. Signaling and activation of cAMP and ERK by Δe14-PTHR was decreased significantly compared with PTHR. Δe14-PTHR acts as a functional dominant-negative by suppressing the action of PTHR. Cells cotransfected with both receptors exhibit markedly reduced PTHR cell membrane expression, colocalization with Δe14-PTHR in endoplasmic reticulum, and diminished cAMP activation and ERK phosphorylation in response to challenge with PTH. Δe14-PTHR forms heterodimers with PTHR, which may account for cytoplasmic retention of PTHR in the presence of Δe14-PTHR. Analysis of the PTHR heteronuclear RNA suggests that base-pair complementarity in introns surrounding exon 14 causes exon skipping and accounts for generation of the Δe14-PTHR isoform. Thus Δe14-PTHR is a poorly functional receptor that acts as a dominant-negative of PTHR trafficking and signaling and may contribute to PTH resistance.

Abstract
The parathyroid hormone (PTH) receptor type 1 (PTHR), a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), transmits signals to two hormone systems-PTH, endocrine and homeostatic, and PTH-related peptide (PTHrP), paracrine-to regulate different biological processes. PTHR responds to these hormonal stimuli by activating heterotrimeric G proteins, such as G(S) that stimulates cAMP production. It was thought that the PTHR, as for all other GPCRs, is only active and signals through G proteins on the cell membrane, and internalizes into a cell to be desensitized and eventually degraded or recycled. Recent studies with cultured cell and animal models reveal a new pathway that involves sustained cAMP signaling from intracellular domains. Not only do these studies challenge the paradigm that cAMP production triggered by activated GPCRs originates exclusively at the cell membrane but they also advance a comprehensive model to account for the functional differences between PTH and PTHrP acting through the same receptor.

Abstract
β-Arrestins are crucial regulators of G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling, desensitization, and internalization. Despite the long-standing paradigm that agonist-promoted receptor phosphorylation is required for β-arrestin2 recruitment, emerging evidence suggests that phosphorylation-independent mechanisms play a role in β-arrestin2 recruitment by GPCRs. Several PDZ proteins are known to interact with GPCRs and serve as cytosolic adaptors to modulate receptor signaling and trafficking. Na(+)/H(+) exchange regulatory factors (NHERFs) exert a major role in GPCR signaling. By combining imaging and biochemical and biophysical methods we investigated the interplay among NHERF1, β-arrestin2, and the parathyroid hormone receptor type 1 (PTHR). We show that NHERF1 and β-arrestin2 can independently bind to the PTHR and form a ternary complex in cultured human embryonic kidney cells and Chinese hamster ovary cells. Although NHERF1 interacts constitutively with the PTHR, β-arrestin2 binding is promoted by receptor activation. NHERF1 interacts directly with β-arrestin2 without using the PTHR as an interface. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer studies revealed that the kinetics of PTHR and β-arrestin2 interactions were modulated by NHERF1. These findings suggest a model in which NHERF1 may serve as an adaptor, bringing β-arrestin2 into close proximity to the PTHR, thereby facilitating β-arrestin2 recruitment after receptor activation.

Abstract
The Na/H exchanger regulatory factors, NHERF1 and NHERF2, are adapter proteins involved in targeting and assembly of protein complexes. The parathyroid hormone receptor (PTHR) interacts with both NHERF1 and NHERF2. The NHERF proteins toggle PTHR signaling from predominantly activation of adenylyl cyclase in the absence of NHERF to principally stimulation of phospholipase C when the NHERF proteins are expressed. We hypothesized that this signaling switch occurs at the level of the G protein. We measured G protein activation by [(35)S]GTPgammaS binding and G(alpha) subtype-specific immunoprecipitation using three different cellular models of PTHR signaling. These studies revealed that PTHR interactions with NHERF1 enhance receptor-mediated stimulation of G(alpha)(q) but have no effect on stimulation of G(alpha)(i) or G(alpha)(s). In contrast, PTHR associations with NHERF2 enhance receptor-mediated stimulation of both G(alpha)(q) and G(alpha)(i) but decrease stimulation of G(alpha)(s). Consistent with these functional data, NHERF2 formed cellular complexes with both G(alpha)(q) and G(alpha)(i), whereas NHERF1 was found to interact only with G(alpha)(q). These findings demonstrate that NHERF interactions regulate PTHR signaling at the level of G proteins and that NHERF1 and NHERF2 exhibit isotype-specific effects on G protein activation.

Abstract
The parathyroid hormone receptor type 1 (PTHR1) is activated by parathyroid hormone (PTH) and PTH-related protein (PTHrP) and primarily signals via intracellular pathways involving adenylyl cyclase and phospholipase C. The intracellular tail domain of the PTHR1 contributes to G protein subunit coupling that is important for second messenger signalling. In addition, the intracellular domain has a potential nuclear localization sequence (NLS) that, if functional, could point to an intracrine role for the receptor. In the present study, we have utilized 2 sets of constructs that employ either a [KRK(484-486)AAA](3Ala) mutation in the putative NLS or the non-mutant counterpart and included (a) the full-length rat PTHR1 with FLAG and c-myc epitope tags at the N-terminus and C-terminus, respectively (designated as PTHR1(3Ala)-TAG and PTHR1-TAG); and (b) only the putative NLS-containing intracellular domain (471-488), with green fluorescent protein (GFP) fused to the C-terminus (designated as GFP-(3Ala)471-488 or GFP-471-488). Porcine kidney LLC-PK1 cells stably expressing the PTHR1(3Ala)-TAG exhibited reduced signalling via both cAMP and cytosolic calcium transients in spite of greater cell surface expression relative to cells expressing PTHR1-TAG. We also examined the ability of the intracellular tail to influence the cellular localization of a heterologous protein. LLC-PK1 cells transiently transfected with GFP-471-488, exhibited increased fluorescence within the nucleus, relative to cells transfected with GFP alone that was not observed when cells were transiently transfected with the mutated construct, GFP-(3Ala)471-488. However, LLC-PK1 cells transiently transfected with either the full-length PTHR1-TAG or the PTHR1(3Ala)-TAG constructs did not exhibit nuclear localization of these receptors. Moreover, mouse osteoblast-like cells (MC3T3-E1) transiently expressing PTHR1-TAG also failed to demonstrate nuclear localization, although both full-length PTHR1 constructs exhibited plasma membrane immunofluorescence in both cell lines. Thus, the 484-486 sequence is critical for the full signalling responsiveness of the intact PTHR1, but the putative nuclear localization signal may not function as such within the intact receptor.

Abstract
Dopamine inhibited phosphate transport in isolated renal brush border membrane vesicles and in cultured renal proximal tubule cells from wild-type but not from NHERF-1 null mice. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments established that NHERF-1 associated with D1-like receptors. In wild-type mice, dopamine stimulated cAMP accumulation and protein kinase C (PKC) activity in renal proximal tubule cells, an effect that was abolished by SCH-23390, a D1-like receptor antagonist. In NHERF-1 null kidney tissue; however, dopamine failed to stimulate either cAMP accumulation or PKC activity. Infection of proximal tubule cells from NHERF-1 null mice with adenovirus-green fluorescent protein-NHERF-1 restored the ability of dopamine to stimulate cAMP and PKC. Finally, in (32)P-labeled wild-type proximal tubule cells and in opossum kidney cells, dopamine increased NHERF-1 phosphorylation at serine 77 of the PDZ I domain of NHERF-1, a site previously shown to attenuate binding of cellular targets including the Npt2a (sodium-dependent phosphate transporter 2a). Together, these studies establish that NHERF-1 plays a key role in dopamine signaling and is also a downstream target of D1-like receptors in the mouse kidney. These studies suggest a novel role for the PDZ adapter protein NHERF-1 in coordinating dopamine signals that inhibit renal phosphate transport.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) mediate physiological responses to various ligands, such as hormones, neurotransmitters and sensory stimuli. The signalling and trafficking properties of GPCRs are often highly malleable depending on the cellular context. Such fine-tuning of GPCR function can be attributed in many cases to receptor-interacting proteins that are differentially expressed in distinct cell types. In some cases these GPCR-interacting partners directly mediate receptor signalling, whereas in other cases they act mainly as scaffolds to modulate G protein-mediated signalling. Furthermore, GPCR-interacting proteins can have a big impact on the regulation of GPCR trafficking, localization and/or pharmacological properties.

Abstract
Scaffolding proteins are molecular switches that control diverse signaling events. The scaffolding protein Na(+)/H(+) exchanger regulatory factor 1 (NHERF1) assembles macromolecular signaling complexes and regulates the macromolecular assembly, localization, and intracellular trafficking of a number of membrane ion transport proteins, receptors, and adhesion/antiadhesion proteins. NHERF1 begins with two modular protein-protein interaction domains-PDZ1 and PDZ2-and ends with a C-terminal (CT) domain. This CT domain binds to ezrin, which, in turn, interacts with cytosekeletal actin. Remarkably, ezrin binding to NHERF1 increases the binding capabilities of both PDZ domains. Here, we use deuterium labeling and contrast variation neutron-scattering experiments to determine the conformational changes in NHERF1 when it forms a complex with ezrin. Upon binding to ezrin, NHERF1 undergoes significant conformational changes in the region linking PDZ2 and its CT ezrin-binding domain, as well as in the region linking PDZ1 and PDZ2, involving very long range interactions over 120 A. The results provide a structural explanation, at mesoscopic scales, of the allosteric control of NHERF1 by ezrin as it assembles protein complexes. Because of the essential roles of NHERF1 and ezrin in intracellular trafficking in epithelial cells, we hypothesize that this long-range allosteric regulation of NHERF1 by ezrin enables the membrane-cytoskeleton to assemble protein complexes that control cross-talk and regulate the strength and duration of signaling.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Parathyroid hormone (PTH) maintains a physiological balance of calcium and phosphate concentrations by binding to its receptor on the plasma membrane of cells in bone and kidney. It signals through multiple pathways, including protein kinase A and protein kinase C, although a preference for certain pathways is apparent in each organ and function. Here, we will review the recent advancements regarding PTH signaling in bone and kidney. RECENT FINDINGS Wnt proteins have been reported as important regulators of bone metabolism in both PTH-dependent and independent pathways. Recent studies emphasize its role as a mediator of PTH signaling, as PTH treatment increased the expression of wnt4 and sfrp4 and decreased the expression of Wnt inhibitors such as Sost and sclerostin, leading to an increase in Wnt signaling. In kidney, sodium-hydrogen exchanger regulatory factor 1, originally known for its role in the retention of NaPi-IIa at the apical membrane, was shown to have multiple roles in PTH signaling, both as a mediator and regulator. SUMMARY PTH activates a number of different signaling pathways by binding to a single receptor in bone and kidney. Recent studies demonstrate the involvement of novel factors as well as additional roles for previously identified downstream factors of PTH.

Abstract
PTH 1 receptor (PTH1R) regulates mineral ion homeostasis. Both apical and basolateral PTH1R subpopulations exist within the renal proximal tubule. The purpose of this research was to examine determinants within the PTH1R that direct apical localization. When expressed in LLC-PK1 cells, a proximal tubule cell model, the PTH1R localizes to both apical and basolateral membranes. The C terminus of the PTH1R contains a psd-95, discs large, ZO-1 domain interaction motif that binds the sodium-hydrogen exchanger regulatory factor 1 (NHERF-1), a renal tubule scaffold protein. Receptors lacking the psd-95, discs large, ZO-1 domain interaction motif (PTH1R-CDelta4) partly localize to apical membranes, suggesting that additional factors may be involved. Ezrin, a membrane-cytoskeleton linking protein, directly binds NHERF-1 and thus links assembled complexes to actin. In vitro, subdomain C of the ezrin band 4.1, ezrin, radixin, domain interacts with the C-terminal tail of the PTH1R on a site that is mutually exclusive from the NHERF-1 interaction domain, suggesting the presence of a ternary complex. Mutating the lysine-arginine-lysine motif within the juxtamembrane region of the PTH1R C-terminal tail to alanines markedly disrupts interactions with the band 4.1, ezrin, radixin, domain of ezrin both in vitro and within cells. Inclusion of these mutations in the context of the full-length PTH1R disrupts apical localization with no effect on basolateral expression. Expression of a dominant-negative ezrin selectively disrupts apical expression and signaling of the PTH1R. However, dominant-negative ezrin does not affect expression or signaling of the basolateral PTH1R subpopulation. These findings reveal that direct ezrin interactions promote PTH1R apical localization and signaling in LLC-PK1 cells.

Abstract
Type 1 parathyroid hormone receptor (PTH1R) activation, desensitization, internalization, and recycling proceed in a cyclical manner. The Na(+)/H(+) exchange regulatory factor 1 (NHERF1) is a cytoplasmic adapter protein that regulates trafficking and signaling of several G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) including the PTH1R. The mineral ion wasting and bone phenotype of NHERF1-null mice suggests that PTH1R may interact with NHERF1. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of NHERF1 on PTH1R desensitization. Using rat osteosarcoma T6-N4 cells expressing the endogenous PTH1R, in which NHERF1 expression could be induced by tetracycline, PTH1R desensitization was assessed by measuring adenylyl cyclase activity after successive PTH challenges. PTH1R-mediated adenylyl cyclase responses were desensitized by repetitive PTH challenges in a concentration-dependent manner, and desensitization was inhibited by NHERF1. NHERF1 blocked PTH-induced dissociation of the PTH1R from Galpha(s). Blocking PTH1R endocytosis did not mitigate PTH1R desensitization. Reducing constitutive NHERF1 levels in human osteosarcoma SAOS2 cells, which express both endogenous PTH1R and NHERF1, with short hairpin RNA directed against NHERF1 restored PTH1R desensitization. Mutagenesis of the PDZ-binding domains or deletion of the NHERF1 MERM domain demonstrated that both are required for inhibition of receptor desensitization. A phosphorylation-deficient PTH1R exhibited reduced desensitization and interaction with beta-arrestin2 compared with wild-type PTH1R. NHERF1 inhibited beta-arrestin2 binding to wtPTH1R but had no effect on beta-arrestin2 association with pdPTH1R. Such an effect may protect against PTH resistance or PTH1R down-regulation in cells harboring NHERF1.
