Liddle’s syndrome is an autosomal dominant form of salt sensitive hypertension caused by mutations in the β or γ subunit of the epithelial sodium channel. Systemic mutagenesis studies revealed that a conserved PPPXY sequence (PY motif) of the C-terminus of the α, β, or γ subunits might be involved in the regulation of the channel activity. However, only two missense mutations in the PY motif of theβ subunit have been reported to cause Liddle’s syndrome. We sequenced the C-termini of the β and γ subunits of the epithelial sodium channel in a Japanese family clinically diagnosed as having Liddle’s syndrome and found a new missense mutation in the PY motif of the β subunit, P615S. Expression studies with P615S mutant in Xenopus oocytes resulted in an about 3-fold increase in the amiloride-sensitive sodium current compared to the wild type (p = 0.001). These findings provide further clinical evidence for the hypothesis that a conserved PY motif may be critically important for the regulation of the epithelial sodium channel.

Background/Aims: Liddle syndrome (LS) is a rare autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in genes coding for epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) subunits. The aim of this study was to identify the mutation responsible for the LS in an extended Chinese family. Methods: DNA samples from the proband with early-onset, treatment-resistant hypertension, and hypokalemia and 19 additional relatives were all sequenced for mutations in exon 13 of the β-ENaC and γ-ENaC genes, using amplification by polymerase chain reaction and direct DNA sequencing. Results: Genetic testing of exon 13 of SCNN1B revealed duplication of guanine into a string of 3 guanines located at codon 602. This frameshift mutation is predicted to generate a premature stop codon at position 607, resulting in truncated β-ENaC lacking the remaining 34 amino acids, including the crucial PY motif. Among a total of 9 participants with the identical mutation, different phenotypes were identified. Tailored treatment with amiloride was safe and effective in alleviating disease symptoms in LS. No mutation of SCNN1G was identified in any of the examined participants. Conclusions: We report here a family affected by LS harboring a frameshift mutation (c.1806dupG) with a premature stop codon deleting the PY motif of β-ENaC. Our study demonstrates that the earlier LS patients are diagnosed by genetic testing and treated with tailored medication, the greater the likelihood of preventing or minimizing complications in the vasculature and target organs.

Nedd4 (neuronal precursor cell-expressed developmentally down-regulated 4) is a ubiquitin-protein ligase containing multiple WW domains. We have previously demonstrated the association between the WW domains of Nedd4 and PPxY (PY) motifs of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC). In this paper, we report the assignment of backbone 1Hα, 1HN, 15N, 13C', 13Cα, and aliphatic 13C resonances of a fragment of rat Nedd4 (rNedd4) containing the two C-terminal WW domains, WW(II+III), complexed to a PY motif-containing peptide derived from the β subunit of rat ENaC, the βP2 peptide. The secondary structures of these two WW domains, determined from chemical shifts of 13Cα and 13Cβ resonances, are virtually identical to those of the WW domains of the Yes-associated protein YAP65 and the peptidyl-prolyl isomerase Pin1. Triple resonance experiments that detect the 1Hα chemical shift were necessary to complete the chemical shift assignment, owing to the large number of proline residues in this fragment of rNedd4. A new experiment, which correlates sequential residues via their 15N nuclei and also detects 1Hα chemical shifts, is introduced and its utility for the chemical shift assignment of sequential proline residues is discussed. Data collected on the WW(II+III)-βP2 complex indicate that these WW domains have different affinities for the βP2 peptide.Key words: WW domain, PY motif, Nedd4, ENaC, NMR.
