Distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) can be caused by mutations in the gene encoding the anion exchanger 1 (AE1) and is characterized by defective urinary acidification, metabolic acidosis, and renal stones. AE1 is expressed at the basolateral membrane of type A intercalated cells in the renal cortical collecting duct (kAE1). Two dRTA mutations result in the carboxyl-terminal truncation of kAE1; in one case, the protein trafficked in a nonpolarized way in epithelial cells. A recent yeast two-hybrid assay showed that the carboxyl-terminal cytosolic domain of AE1 interacts with adaptor protein complex 1 (AP-1A) subunit μ1A (mu-1A; Sawasdee N, Junking M, Ngaojanlar P, Sukomon N, Ungsupravate D, Limjindaporn T, Akkarapatumwong V, Noisakran S, Yenchitsomanus PT. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 401: 85–91, 2010). Here, we show the interaction between kAE1 and mu-1A and B in vitro by reciprocal coimmunoprecipitation in epithelial cells and in vivo by coimmunoprecipitation from mouse kidney extract. When endogenous mu-1A (and to a lesser extent mu-1B) was reduced, kAE1 protein was unable to traffic to the plasma membrane and was rapidly degraded via a lysosomal pathway. Expression of either small interfering RNA-resistant mu-1A or mu-1B stabilized kAE1 in these cells. We also show that newly synthesized kAE1 does not traffic through recycling endosomes to the plasma membrane, suggesting that AP-1B, located in recycling endosomes, is not primarily involved in trafficking of newly synthesized kAE1 when AP-1A is present in the cells. Our data demonstrate that AP-1A regulates processing of the basolateral, polytopic membrane protein kAE1 to the cell surface and that both AP-1A and B adaptor complexes are required for normal kAE1 trafficking.

Mutations in the SLC4A1 gene coding for kidney anion exchanger 1 (kAE1) cause distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA). We investigated the fate of the most common truncated dominant dRTA mutant kAE1 R901X. In renal epithelial cells, we found that kAE1 R901X is less abundant than kAE1 wild-type (WT) at the plasma membrane. Although kAE1 WT and kAE1 R901X have similar half-lives, the decreased abundance of kAE1 R901X at the surface is due to an increased endocytosis rate and a decreased recycling rate of endocytosed proteins. We propose that, in polarized renal epithelial cells, the apically mistargeted kAE1 R901X mutant is endocytosed faster than kAE1 WT and its recycling to the basolateral membrane is delayed. This resets the equilibrium, such that kAE1 R901X resides predominantly in an endomembrane compartment, thereby likely participating in development of dRTA disease.

Acid Base Status

HCO3- secretion by cortical collecting duct (CCD) occurs via beta-intercalated cells. In vitro CCD HCO3- secretion is modulated by both the in vivo acid-base status of the animal and by adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP). To investigate the mechanism of cAMP-induced HCO3- secretion, we measured intracellular pH (pHi) of individual beta-intercalated cells of CCDs dissected from alkali-loaded rabbits perfused in vitro. beta-Intercalated cells were identified by demonstrating the presence of an apical anion exchanger (cell alkalinization in response to removal of lumen Cl-). After 180 min of perfusion to permit decrease of endogenous cAMP, acute addition of 0.1 mM 8-bromo-cAMP or 1 microM isoproterenol to the bath caused a transient cellular alkalinization (> 0.20 pH units). In the symmetrical absence of either Na+, HCO3-, or Cl-, cAMP produced no change in pHi. Basolateral dihydrogen 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (0.1 mM) for 15 min before cAMP addition also prevented this alkalinization. In contrast to the response of cells from alkali-loaded rabbits, addition of basolateral cAMP to CCDs dissected from normal rabbits resulted in an acidification of beta-intercalated cells (approximately 0.20 pH units). The present studies demonstrate the importance of the in vivo acid-base status of the animal in the regulation of CCD HCO3- secretion by beta-intercalated cells. The results identify the possible existence of a previously unrecognized Na(+)-dependent Cl-/HCO3- exchanger on the basolateral membrane of beta-intercalated cells in alkali-loaded rabbits.

Clathrin Adaptor

Polarized epithelial cells coexpress two almost identical AP-1 clathrin adaptor complexes: the ubiquitously expressed AP-1A and the epithelial cell–specific AP-1B. The only difference between the two complexes is the incorporation of the respective medium subunits μ1A or μ1B, which are responsible for the different functions of AP-1A and AP-1B in TGN to endosome or endosome to basolateral membrane targeting, respectively. Here we demonstrate that the C-terminus of μ1B is important for AP-1B recruitment onto recycling endosomes. We define a patch of three amino acid residues in μ1B that are necessary for recruitment of AP-1B onto recycling endosomes containing phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PI(3,4,5)P3]. We found this lipid enriched in recycling endosomes of epithelial cells only when AP-1B is expressed. Interfering with PI(3,4,5)P3 formation leads to displacement of AP-1B from recycling endosomes and missorting of AP-1B–dependent cargo to the apical plasma membrane. In conclusion, PI(3,4,5)P3 formation in recycling endosomes is essential for AP-1B function.

In this study, an epitope-unmasking technique was used to immunolocalize AE2 anion exchanger polypeptide to basolateral plasma membranes of tubular epithelial cells in mouse kidney. Kidney AE2 immunostaining in mouse kidney was less prominent than in rat, consistent with the relative levels of AE2 mRNA and polypeptide in these two species. Glomeruli showed faint but consistent AE2 immunostaining, whereas proximal tubules were generally unstained. Macula densa epithelial cells displayed bright AE2 immunostaining, and cortical thick limbs were stained at a lower intensity. AE2 immunostaining was weak or absent in type B intercalated cells and principal cells of the cortical collecting duct, but increased in intensity in principal cells of the inner stripe of the outer medulla. AE2 staining in medullary thick limbs was also of greater intensity than in cortical thick limbs. AE2 staining was strong and uniform in the epithelial cells of the inner medullary collecting duct, and in epithelial cells of the papillary surface, the ureter, and the urinary bladder. Extratubular and epithelial cells of the inner medulla also showed punctate intracellular AE2 staining in a Golgi-like distribution that, in contrast to cell surface staining, was sodium dodecyl sulfate-sensitive. Golgi localization of AE2 epitope was confirmed by immunoperoxidase electron microscopy. Reverse transcription-PCR analysis of mouse kidney RNA detected AE2a, AE2b, and an AE2c2 transcript, but an AE2c1 transcript was absent. Unlike in rat, the mouse AE2c2 mRNA splice variant encoded a polypeptide with a novel predicted N-terminal amino acid sequence.

Intercalated cells (ICs) in the collecting duct and the connecting tubule (CNT) are involved in H+ secretion and HCO3- reabsorption. H+ secretion is mediated by an H(+)-adenosinetriphosphatase in the apical plasma membrane, whereas a band 3-like Cl(-)-HCO3- exchanger in the basolateral membrane is responsible for HCO3- reabsorption. Recent studies have reported that a band 3-like protein is also present in mitochondria in rabbit ICs. The purpose of this study was to establish the subcellular location of the band 3-like Cl(-)-HCO3- exchanger in rabbit ICs by electron microscopic immunocytochemistry using a monoclonal antibody, IVF12, against erythrocyte band 3 protein. Rabbit kidneys were preserved by in vivo perfusion with a paraformaldehyde-lysine-periodate solution and processed for immunocytochemistry using a horseradish peroxidase preembedding technique. Band 3 immunostaining was observed on the basolateral plasma membrane of ICs in the outer medullary collecting duct and type A cells in the cortical collecting duct (CCD) and CNT. In addition, distinct staining for band 3 was present in numerous small vesicles and in multivesicular bodies in type A ICs in the CCD and CNT. However, there was no evidence of band 3 immunostaining of mitochondria or of the apical plasma membrane in any cells of the collecting duct. These observations suggest that basolateral Cl(-)-HCO3- exchangers in type A ICs in the rabbit kidney are stored in intracellular vesicles and possibly degraded in the vascular-lysosomal system when these cells are in a resting state. The previously reported band 3 immunolabeling of mitochondria could not be confirmed.

To maintain polarity, epithelial cells continuously sort transmembrane proteins to the apical or basolateral membrane domains during biosynthetic delivery or after internalization. During biosynthetic delivery, some cargo proteins move from the trans-Golgi network (TGN) into recycling endosomes (RE) before being delivered to the plasma membrane. However, proteins that regulate this transport step remained elusive. In this study, we show that Rab13 partially colocalizes with TGN38 at the TGN and transferrin receptors in RE. Knockdown of Rab13 with short hairpin RNA in human bronchial epithelial cells or overexpression of dominant-active or dominant-negative alleles of Rab13 in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells disrupts TGN38/46 localization at the TGN. Moreover, overexpression of Rab13 mutant alleles inhibits surface arrival of proteins that move through RE during biosynthetic delivery (vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein [VSVG], A-VSVG, and LDLR-CT27). Importantly, proteins using a direct route from the TGN to the plasma membrane are not affected. Thus, Rab13 appears to regulate membrane trafficking between TGN and RE.

The membrane transporter anion exchanger 1 (AE1), or band 3, is a key component in the processes of carbon-dioxide transport in the blood and urinary acidification in the renal collecting duct. In both erythrocytes and the basolateral membrane of the collecting-duct α-intercalated cells, the role of AE1 is to catalyze a one-for-one exchange of chloride for bicarbonate. After decades of biochemical and functional studies, the structure of the transmembrane region of AE1, which catalyzes the anion-exchange reaction, has finally been determined. Each protomer of the AE1 dimer comprises two repeats with inverted transmembrane topologies, but the structures of these repeats differ. This asymmetry causes the putative substrate-binding site to be exposed only to the extracellular space, consistent with the expectation that anion exchange occurs via an alternating-access mechanism. Here, we hypothesize that the unknown, inward-facing conformation results from inversion of this asymmetry, and we propose a model of this state constructed using repeat-swap homology modeling. By comparing this inward-facing model with the outward-facing experimental structure, we predict that the mechanism of AE1 involves an elevator-like motion of the substrate-binding domain relative to the nearly stationary dimerization domain and to the membrane plane. This hypothesis is in qualitative agreement with a wide range of biochemical and functional data, which we review in detail, and suggests new avenues of experimentation.

Acid Secreting

Acid-secreting intercalated cells of the kidney collecting duct and tumor cells of renal oncocytoma express an anion exchanger that is immunologically related but not identical to the chloride-bicarbonate anion exchanger of erythrocytes (AE1). In this study, we have mapped the binding site of a monoclonal antibody against erythroid AE1 that does not react with either intercalated cells or oncocytoma. The epitope is located close to the NH2 terminus of AE1, indicating that AE1 in intercalated cells and oncocytoma differs in its NH2 terminus from erythroid AE1. This conclusion was supported by an antibody directed against residues 1-14 of erythroid AE1 that does not react with intercalated cells in oncocytoma. Polymerase chain reaction performed with mRNA from a human kidney revealed that the sequence containing the codons for Met-1 and Met-33 in erythroid mRNA is missing in the kidney transcript, whereas the sequence coding for Met-66 is present. DNA sequence data derived from cloning the 5' end of the human kidney AE1 mRNA clearly showed that the 5' untranslated region comprises part of intron 3, the complete exon 4 that is followed by exon 5 containing Met-66 as the site of translation initiation. Altogether, the results indicate that AE1 in the human kidney is an amino-terminally truncated form of erythroid AE1 that is restricted to the basolateral membrane domain of the acid-secreting intercalated cells of the collecting duct and is also expressed in oncocytoma.

Amp Activated Protein Kinase

The KCNQ1 K+ channel plays a key role in the regulation of several physiological functions, including cardiac excitability, cardiovascular tone, and body electrolyte homeostasis. The metabolic sensor AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has been shown to regulate a growing number of ion transport proteins. To determine whether AMPK regulates KCNQ1, we studied the effects of AMPK activation on KCNQ1 currents in Xenopus laevis oocytes and collecting duct epithelial cells. AMPK activation decreased KCNQ1 currents and channel surface expression in X. laevis oocytes, but AMPK did not phosphorylate KCNQ1 in vitro, suggesting an indirect regulatory mechanism. As it has been recently shown that the ubiquitin-protein ligase Nedd4-2 inhibits KCNQ1 plasma membrane expression and that AMPK regulates epithelial Na+ channels via Nedd4-2, we examined the role of Nedd4-2 in the AMPK-dependent regulation of KCNQ1. Channel inhibition by AMPK was blocked in oocytes coexpressing either a dominant-negative or constitutively active Nedd4-2 mutant, or a Nedd4-2 interaction-deficient KCNQ1 mutant, suggesting that Nedd4-2 participates in the regulation of KCNQ1 by AMPK. KCNQ1 is expressed at the basolateral membrane in mouse polarized kidney cortical collecting duct (mpkCCDc14) cells and in rat kidney. Treatment with the AMPK activators AICAR (2 mM) or metformin (1 mM) reduced basolateral KCNQ1 currents in apically permeabilized polarized mpkCCDc14 cells. Moreover, AICAR treatment of rat kidney slices ex vivo induced AMPK activation and intracellular redistribution of KCNQ1 from the basolateral membrane in collecting duct principal cells. AICAR treatment also induced increased ubiquitination of KCNQ1 immunoprecipitated from kidney slice homogenates. These results indicate that AMPK inhibits KCNQ1 activity by promoting Nedd4-2-dependent channel ubiquitination and retrieval from the plasma membrane.
