The metabolic sensor AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has emerged as an important link between cellular metabolic status and ion transport activity. We previously found that AMPK binds to and phosphorylates CFTR in vitro and inhibits PKA-dependent stimulation of CFTR channel gating in Calu-3 bronchial serous gland epithelial cells. To further characterize the mechanism of AMPK-dependent regulation of CFTR, whole cell patch-clamp measurements were performed with PKA activation in Calu-3 cells expressing either constitutively active or dominant-negative AMPK mutants (AMPK-CA or AMPK-DN). Baseline CFTR conductance in cells expressing AMPK-DN was substantially greater than controls, suggesting that tonic AMPK activity in these cells inhibits CFTR under basal conditions. Although baseline CFTR conductance in cells expressing AMPK-CA was comparable to that of controls, PKA stimulation of CFTR was completely blocked in AMPK-CA-expressing cells, suggesting that AMPK activation renders CFTR resistant to PKA activation in vivo. Phosphorylation studies of CFTR in human embryonic kidney-293 cells using tetracycline-inducible expression of AMPK-DN demonstrated AMPK-dependent phosphorylation of CFTR in vivo. However, AMPK activity modulation had no effect on CFTR in vivo phosphorylation in response to graded doses of PKA or PKC agonists. Thus, AMPK-dependent CFTR phosphorylation renders the channel resistant to activation by PKA and PKC without preventing phosphorylation by these kinases. We found that Ser768, a CFTR R domain residue considered to be an inhibitory PKA site, is the dominant site of AMPK phosphorylation in vitro. Ser-to-Ala mutation at this site enhanced baseline CFTR activity and rendered CFTR resistant to inhibition by AMPK, suggesting that AMPK phosphorylation at Ser768 is required for its inhibition of CFTR. In summary, our findings indicate that AMPK-dependent phosphorylation of CFTR inhibits CFTR activation by PKA, thereby tuning the PKA-responsiveness of CFTR to metabolic and other stresses in the cell.

Barrier function and transepithelial transport are intimately linked and are sometimes disturbed in parallel. DRA (downregulated in adenoma) is an intestinal chloride/bicarbonate exchanger that is functionally coupled to CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator) in the upper gastrointestinal tract to mediate chloride and bicarbonate secretion and to NHE3 (Na/H exchanger- isoform 3) in the lower gastrointestinal tract to mediate electroneutral NaCl absorption. All three transport proteins possess PDZ domain binding motifs that facilitate binding to members of the NHERF (Na/H exchanger regulatory factor) family of adapter proteins [NHERF, E3KARP (NHE3 kinase A regulatory protein), PDZK1 (PDZ protein kidney 1) and IKEPP (intestinal and kidney enriched PDZ protein)]. Regulation of DRA appears to depend on the presence of a partner transport protein, and this may involve the assembly of different complexes of transporters, adapter proteins, and signaling molecules. We have established stable expression of DRA in HEK cells. In these cells, that do not express significant amounts of CFTR or NHE3, DRA is inhibited by intracellular calcium but not by protein kinase C or protein kinase A. At high calcium concentrations induced by 4Br-A23187 this inhibition is independent of the PDZ interaction of DRA. These data show that DRA can be individually regulated and may be confirmed in a more physiologically relevant expression system (i.e., Caco-2/BBE cells) using natural agonists of the intracellular calcium signal.

The present experiments show that IFNgamma receptors are mainly localized to the basolateral membrane of human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Activation of these receptors in primary cultures of human fetal RPE inhibited cell proliferation and migration, decreased RPE mitochondrial membrane potential, altered transepithelial potential and resistance, and significantly increased transepithelial fluid absorption. These effects are mediated through JAK-STAT and p38 MAPK signaling pathways. Second messenger signaling through cAMP-PKA pathway- and interferon regulatory factor-1-dependent production of nitric oxide/cGMP stimulated the CFTR at the basolateral membrane and increased transepithelial fluid absorption. In vivo experiments using a rat model of retinal reattachment showed that IFNgamma applied to the anterior surface of the eye can remove extra fluid deposited in the extracellular or subretinal space between the retinal photoreceptors and RPE. Removal of this extra fluid was blocked by a combination of PKA and JAK-STAT pathway inhibitors injected into the subretinal space. These results demonstrate a protective role for IFNgamma in regulating retinal hydration across the outer blood-retinal barrier in inflammatory disease processes and provide the basis for possible therapeutic interventions.

Cystic fibrosis mostly follows a single Phe508 deletion in CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator) (CFTRDeltaF508), thereby causing premature fragmentation of the nascent protein with concomitant alterations of diverse cellular functions. We show that CK2, the most pleiotropic protein kinase, undergoes allosteric control of its different cellular forms in the presence of short CFTR peptides encompassing the Phe508 deletion: these CFTRDeltaF508 peptides drastically inhibit the isolated catalytic subunit (alpha) of the kinase and yet up-regulate the holoenzyme, composed of two catalytic and two non-catalytic (beta) subunits. Remarkable agreement between in silico docking and our biochemical data point to different sites for the CFTRDeltaF508 peptide binding on isolated CK2alpha and on CK2beta assembled into the holoenzyme, suggesting that CK2 targeting may be perturbed in cells expressing CFTRDeltaF508; this could shed light on some pleiotropic aspects of cystic fibrosis disease.

Cardiac myocytes express protein kinase A-dependent Cl(-) (Cl(PKA)) channels that are thought to represent cardiac expression of CFTR. In the present study, the 'Smart' patch clamp technique was used to investigate the distribution of Cl(PKA) channels at the cell surface of isolated guinea-pig ventricular myocytes. Imaging the cell surface using scanning ion conductance microscopy allowed the identification of the mouths to t-tubules and lateral z-grooves with a spacing of 1.86 microm. Cell-attached patch clamp recordings were made from specified locations within the imaged area. Perfusion of the cells with an activating cocktail of isoprenaline (5 microM), forskolin (10 microM) and isobutylmethylxanthine (50 microM) activated large, noisy anion-selective currents in which unitary channel currents could not be identified. Currents were recorded both from within z-grooves and in the inter-groove region but not at the mouths of t-tubules. Power spectral and noise analyses indicated the involvement of 13.5pS channels occurring in clusters of >50 channels. Channel activity was lost on excision of the patch from the cell but could be recovered in inside-out excised patches by application of the catalytic subunit of PKA. These results suggest that CFTR Cl(PKA) channels occur in clusters in the sarcolemma of guinea-pig ventricular myocytes; there was no evidence of a heterogeneous distribution of clusters between the z-grooves and the inter-groove region.

CFTR, the ABC protein defective in cystic fibrosis, functions as an anion channel. Once phosphorylated by protein kinase A, a CFTR channel is opened and closed by events at its two cytosolic nucleotide binding domains (NBDs). Formation of a head-to-tail NBD1/NBD2 heterodimer, by ATP binding in two interfacial composite sites between conserved Walker A and B motifs of one NBD and the ABC-specific signature sequence of the other, has been proposed to trigger channel opening. ATP hydrolysis at the only catalytically competent interfacial site is suggested to then destabilize the NBD dimer and prompt channel closure. But this gating mechanism, and how tightly CFTR channel opening and closing are coupled to its catalytic cycle, remains controversial. Here we determine the distributions of open burst durations of individual CFTR channels, and use maximum likelihood to evaluate fits to equilibrium and nonequilibrium mechanisms and estimate the rate constants that govern channel closure. We examine partially and fully phosphorylated wild-type CFTR channels, and two mutant CFTR channels, each bearing a deleterious mutation in one or other composite ATP binding site. We show that the wild-type CFTR channel gating cycle is essentially irreversible and tightly coupled to the ATPase cycle, and that this coupling is completely destroyed by the NBD2 Walker B mutation D1370N but only partially disrupted by the NBD1 Walker A mutation K464A.

Annexin A2 and S100A10 proteins form a heterotetrameric complex and belong to different families of Ca(2+)-binding proteins. Annexins are non-EF-hand-type Ca(2+)-binding proteins that exhibit Ca(2+)-dependent binding to phospholipids and membranes in various tissues. They have been implicated in many Ca(2+)-regulated processes, including regulation of membrane organization, trafficking and interact with many targets such as ion channels. S100 proteins comprise a family of small proteins characterised by the presence of two consecutive EF-hand type Ca(2+)-binding motifs, interact with ion channels and regulate diverse processes and play a role as Ca(2+) sensors. Several annexin-S100 complexes have been characterized and require calcium. In this regard, S100A10 binding to annexin A2 is an exception in that it is regulated by a post-translational modification of annexin A2 and occurs independently of calcium concentration. This review focuses on the regulatory mechanism behind annexin A2-S100A10 complex formation, its role in regulating chloride transport in health and cystic fibrosis and the potential of this mechanism to integrate calcium and cAMP signalling in airway epithelia. We propose that cAMP/PKA-dependent activation of chloride flux (through CFTR and ORCC) requires the mobilisation of a multi-protein complex involving calcium binding proteins from three different families (annexin 2, S100A10 and Calcineurin A).

Metformin use in diabetes can cause acidosis and might be linked to pancreatitis. Here, we mechanistically focus on this relationship via a point mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR; ABCC7). CFTR is an ATP-hydrolyzing, cAMP/PKA-activated anion channel regulating pancreatic bicarbonate/chloride secretion across duct-facing apical membranes in epithelia. CFTR has two nucleotide binding domains (NBD1/2) which clamp two ATP molecules across their opposed, inverted interfacial surfaces which generates anion-conductance after ATP hydrolysis. Notably, CFTR mutations not causal for classical cystic fibrosis segregate with unexplained pancreatitis and one of these lies in NBD1 near its ATP-clamp (S573C; close to the Walker B aspartate D572). We recently showed that after raising [cAMP], wt-CFTR chloride-conductance, when expressed in Xenopus oocytes, remains elevated despite the presence of metformin. Yet here, we find that S573C-CFTR manifests a metformin-inhibitable whole cell chloride-conductance after cAMP elevation. In the absence of metformin, cAMP-activated S573C-CFTR also displays a reduced anion-conductance relative to wt-CFTR. Furthermore, intra-oocyte acidification inhibited wt-CFTR and abolished S573C-CFTR conductance. We conclude that defective S573C-CFTR remains both poorly conducting and inhibited by metformin and intracellular acidosis. This might explain the propensity to pancreatitis with this rare CF mutation.

Chloride secretion by airway epithelial cells is defective in cystic fibrosis (CF). The conventional paradigm is that CFTR is activated through cAMP and protein kinase A (PKA), whereas the Ca(2+)-activated chloride channel (CaCC) is activated by Ca(2+) agonists like UTP. We found that most chloride current elicited by Ca(2+) agonists in primary cultures of human bronchial epithelial cells is mediated by CFTR by a mechanism involving Ca(2+) activation of adenylyl cyclase I (AC1) and cAMP/PKA signaling. Use of selective inhibitors showed that Ca(2+) agonists produced more chloride secretion from CFTR than from CaCC. CFTR-dependent chloride secretion was reduced by PKA inhibition and was absent in CF cell cultures. Ca(2+) agonists produced cAMP elevation, which was blocked by adenylyl cyclase inhibition. AC1, a Ca(2+)/calmodulin-stimulated adenylyl cyclase, colocalized with CFTR in the cell apical membrane. RNAi knockdown of AC1 selectively reduced UTP-induced cAMP elevation and chloride secretion. These results, together with correlations between cAMP and chloride current, suggest that compartmentalized AC1-CFTR association is responsible for Ca(2+)/cAMP cross-talk. We further conclude that CFTR is the principal chloride secretory pathway in non-CF airways for both cAMP and Ca(2+) agonists, providing a novel mechanism to link CFTR dysfunction to CF lung disease.

Naturally occurring cystic fibrosis (CF)-causing mutations in the CFTR gene have not been identified in any nonhuman animal species. Since domestic dogs are known to develop medical conditions associated with atypical CF in humans (e.g., bronchiectasis and pancreatitis), we hypothesized that dogs with these disorders likely have a higher expression rate of CFTR mutations than the at-large population. Temporal temperature-gradient gel electrophoresis (TTGE) was used to screen canine CFTR in 400 animals: 203 dogs diagnosed with pancreatitis, 23 dogs diagnosed with bronchiectasis, and 174 dogs admitted to clinics for any illness (at-large dogs). Twenty-eight dogs were identified with one of four CFTR missense mutations. P1281T and P1464H mutations occur in relatively unconserved residues. R1456W is analogous to the human R1453W mutation, which has approximately 20% of normal CFTR function and is associated with pancreatitis and panbronchiolitis. R812W disrupts a highly conserved protein kinase A recognition site within the regulatory domain. We conclude that naturally occurring CFTR mutations are relatively common in domestic dogs and can be detected with TTGE. No substantive differences in mutation frequency were observed between the at-large, pancreatitis, and bronchiectasis dogs.
