Parathyroid hormone (PTH), acting at least in part through a cAMP signaling pathway, regulates three important transporters in the renal proximal convoluted tubule, namely Na-H exchanger 3, Na-K ATPase, and type IIa sodium phosphate cotransporter (NaPi IIa). The regulation of Na-H exchanger 3 by protein kinase A requires a protein co-factor from the sodium-hydrogen exchanger regulatory factor (NHERF) family of proteins (NHERF-1 and NHERF-2). However, the role of NHERF in PTH regulation of Na-K ATPase and NaPi IIa has not been explored. For studying the role of NHERF-1 on PTH regulation of these transporters, wild-type mNHERF-1 (1-355) or mNHERF-1 (1-325) lacking the ezrin-binding domain were expressed in proximal tubule-derived opossum kidney cells. PTH inhibited Na-K ATPase activity in cells expressing wild-type NHERF-1 associated with increased serine phosphorylation of the alpha subunit of the transporter. By contrast, in cells expressing mNHERF (1-325), the phosphorylation of the alpha subunit of Na-K ATPase was blunted and the activity of the transporter was stimulated in response to PTH. Basal sodium-dependent phosphate transport was lower in cells expressing mNHERF-1 (1-325) as compared with cells expressing mNHERF-1 (1-355). Nonetheless, there were no differences in PTH-associated inhibition of the activity or the decrease in membrane expression of the NaPi IIa in any of the cell lines. These experiments document for the first time an association between NHERF-1 and PTH regulation of Na-K ATPase in epithelial cells. These experiments also suggest that the mechanism for retrieval of NaPi IIa transporters from the apical membrane in response to cAMP does not require NHERF.

The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein is a cAMP-regulated Cl- channel expressed at the apical plasma membrane. It has been proposed that the C-terminal PDZ binding motif of CFTR is required for its apical membrane targeting and that PDZ-domain interactions may tether CFTR to the actin cytoskeleton via soluble proteins including EBP50/NHERF1 and ezrin. We measured the diffusional mobility of human CFTR in the plasma membrane of Madin-Darby canine kidney cells by photobleaching of green fluorescent protein (GFP)-CFTR chimeras. After bleaching by a focused laser beam, GFP-CFTR fluorescence in the bleached membrane region recovered to approximately 90% of its initial level, indicating that nearly all of the CFTR was mobile. The GFP-CFTR diffusion coefficient (D) was 0.99 +/- 0.09 x 10(-10) cm2/s at 37 degrees C, similar to that of other membrane proteins. GFP-CFTR diffusion was not altered by protein kinase A or C activators but was blocked by paraformaldehyde and filipin. CFTR mutants lacking functional PDZ-binding domains (GFPCFTR-DeltaTRL and GFP-CFTR-DeltaTRA) were also mobile with D significantly increased by approximately 60% compared with GFP-CFTR. However, GFP-CFTR, GFP-CFTR-Delta TRL, and GFP-CFTR-DeltaTRA had similar mobilities (D approximately 12 x 10(-10) cm2/s) at the endoplasmic reticulum in brefeldin A-treated cells. Agents that modulate the actin cytoskeleton (cytochalasin D and jasplakinolide) altered the plasma membrane mobility of CFTR but not CFTR- DeltaTRL. EBP50 (NHERF1), a PDZ domain-containing protein that interacts with the C terminus of CFTR, diffused freely in the cytoplasm with a diffusion coefficient of 0.9 +/- 0.1 x 10(-7) cm2/s. EBP50 diffusion increased by approximately 2-fold after deletion of its ezrin-binding domain. These results indicate that wild-type CFTR is not tethered statically at the plasma membrane but that its diffusion is dependent on PDZ-domain interactions and an intact actin skeleton. PDZ-domain interactions of CFTR are thus dynamic and occur on a time scale of seconds or faster.

Apactin is an 80-kDa type I membrane glycoprotein derived from pro-Muclin, a precursor that also gives rise to the zymogen granule protein Muclin. Previous work showed that apactin is efficiently removed from the regulated secretory pathway and targeted to the actin-rich apical plasma membrane of the pancreatic acinar cell. The cytosolic tail (C-Tail) of apactin consists of 16 amino acids, has Thr casein kinase II and Ser protein kinase C phosphorylation sites, and a C-terminal PDZ-binding domain. Secretory stimulation of acinar cells causes a decrease in Thr phosphorylation and an increase in Ser phosphorylation of apactin. Fusion peptides of the C-Tail domain pulldown actin, ezrin, and EBP50/NHERF in a phosphorylation-dependent manner. HIV TAT-C-Tail fusion peptides were used as dominant negative constructs on living pancreatic cells to study effects on the actin cytoskeleton. During secretory stimulation, TAT-C-Tail-Thr/Asp phosphomimetic peptide caused an increase in actin-coated zymogen granules at the apical surface, while TAT-C-Tail-S/D phosphomimetic peptide caused a broadening of the actin cytoskeleton. These data indicate that stimulation-mediated Thr dephosphorylation allows decreased association of apactin with EBP50/NHERF and fosters actin remodeling to coat zymogen granules. Stimulation-mediated Ser phosphorylation increases apactin association with the actin cytoskeleton, maintaining tight bundling of actin microfilaments at the apical surface. Thus, apactin is involved in remodeling the apical cytoskeleton during regulated exocytosis in a manner controlled by phosphorylation of the apactin C-Tail.

The type IIa Na+-P(i) cotransporter (NaP(i)-IIa) and the Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor-1 (NHERF1) colocalize in the apical membrane of proximal tubular cells. Both proteins interact in vitro. Herein the interaction between NaP(i)-IIa and NHERF1 is further documented on the basis of coimmunoprecipitation and co-pull-down assays. NaP(i)-IIa is endocytosed and degraded in lysosomes upon parathyroid hormone (PTH) treatment. To investigate the effect of PTH on the NaP(i)-IIa-NHERF1 association, we first compared the localization of both proteins after PTH treatment. In mouse proximal tubules and OK cells, NaP(i)-IIa was removed from the apical membrane after hormonal treatment; however, NHERF1 remained at the membrane. Moreover, PTH treatment led to degradation of NaP(i)-IIa without changes in the amount of NHERF1. The effect of PTH on the NaP(i)-IIa-NHERF1 interaction was further studied using coimmunoprecipitation. PTH treatment reduced the amount of NaP(i)-IIa coimmunoprecipitated with NHERF antibodies. PTH-induced internalization of NaP(i)-IIa requires PKA and PKC; therefore, we next analyzed whether PTH induces changes in the phosphorylation state of either partner. NHERF1 was constitutively phosphorylated. Moreover, in mouse kidney slices, PTH induced an increase in NHERF1 phosphorylation; independent activation of PKA or PKC also resulted in increased phosphorylation of NHERF1 in kidney slices. However, NaP(i)-IIa was not phosphorylated either basally or after exposure to PTH. Our study supports an interaction between NHERF1 and NaP(i)-IIa on the basis of their brush-border membrane colocalization and in vitro coimmunoprecipitation/co-pull-down assays. Furthermore, PTH weakens this interaction as evidenced by different in situ and in vivo behavior. The PTH effect takes place in the presence of increased phosphorylation of NHERF1.

It was demonstrated that expression of murine sodium hydrogen exchanger regulatory factor (NHERF-1) lacking the ezrin-binding domain blocks parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulation of Na+,K+-ATPase in opossum kidney (OK) cells. The hypothesis that the NHERF-1 PDZ domains contribute to PTH regulation of Na+,K+-ATPase was tested by comparison of PTH regulation of Na+,K+-ATPase in wild-type OK (OK-WT) cells, NHERF-deficient OKH cells, OK-WT transfected with siRNA for NHERF (NHERF siRNA OK-WT), and OKH cells that were stably transfected with full-length NHERF-1 or constructs with mutated PDZ domains. OKH cells and NHERF siRNA OK-WT showed decreased expression of NHERF-1 but equivalent expression of ezrin and Na+,K+-ATPase alpha1 subunit when compared with OK-WT cells. PTH decreased Na+,K+-ATPase activity and stimulated phosphorylation of the Na+,K+-ATPase alpha1 in OK-WT cells but not in NHERF-deficient cells. Rubidium (86Rb) uptake was equivalent in OK-WT, OKH, and OKH cells that were transfected with all but the double PDZ domain mutants. PTH decreased 86Rb uptake significantly in OK-WT but not in OKH cells. PTH also significantly inhibited 86Rb uptake in OKH cells that were transfected with full-length NHERF-1 or NHERF-1 with mutated PDZ 2 but not in OKH cells that were transfected with mutated PDZ 1. Transfection with NHERF expressing both mutated PDZ domains resulted in diminished basal 86Rb uptake that was not inhibited further by PTH. PTH stimulated protein kinase Calpha activity and alpha1 subunit phosphorylation in OK-WT but not in NHERF-deficient cells. Transfection of OKH cells with NHERF constructs that contained an intact PDZ1 domain restored PTH-stimulated protein kinase Calpha activity and alpha1 subunit phosphorylation. These results demonstrate that NHERF-1 is necessary for PTH-mediated inhibition of Na+,K+-ATPase activity and that the inhibition is mediated through the PDZ1, not PDZ2, domain.

The Na(+)-driven Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchanger (NCBE) plays an important role in the regulation of intracellular pH (pH(i)). We previously identified two variants of NCBE from rat brain of which the variant with a carboxyterminal PSD-95/Dlg/ZO-1 (PDZ) motif (rb2NCBE) colocalized with the actin cytoskeleton. Increased rb2NCBE activity by PKA inhibition and reduction by forskolin and cAMP agonist suggest PKA regulation of NCBE. Disruption of actin filaments also decreased rb2NCBE activity. EBP50 and FLAG-rb2NCBE were reciprocally co-immunoprecipitated from rb2NCBE transfected cells. It is concluded that NCBE activity is inhibited by PKA and depends on the integrity of the actin cytoskeleton within a multiprotein complex at the plasma membrane.

Disorganized ion transport caused by hypo- or hyperfunctioning of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) can be detrimental and may result in life-threatening diseases such as cystic fibrosis or secretory diarrhea. Thus, CFTR is controlled by elaborate positive and negative regulations for an efficient homeostasis. It has been shown that expression and activity of CFTR can be regulated either positively or negatively by PDZ (PSD-95/discs large/ZO-1) domain-based adaptors. Although a positive regulation by PDZ domain-based adaptors such as EBP50/NHERF1 is established, the mechanisms for negative regulation of the CFTR by Shank2, as well as the effects of multiple adaptor interactions, are not known. Here we demonstrate a physical and physiological competition between EBP50-CFTR and Shank2-CFTR associations and the dynamic regulation of CFTR activity by these positive and negative interactions using the surface plasmon resonance assays and consecutive patch clamp experiments. Furthermore whereas EBP50 recruits a cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) complex to CFTR, Shank2 was found to be physically and functionally associated with the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase PDE4D that precludes cAMP/PKA signals in epithelial cells and mouse brains. These findings strongly suggest that balanced interactions between the membrane transporter and multiple PDZ-based adaptors play a critical role in the homeostatic regulation of epithelial transport and possibly the membrane transport in other tissues.

The neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) tumor suppressor protein merlin is commonly mutated in human benign brain tumors. The gene altered in NF2 was located on human chromosome 22q12 in 1993 and the encoded protein named merlin and schwannomin. Merlin has homology to ERM family proteins, ezrin, radixin, and moesin, within the protein 4.1 superfamily. In efforts to determine merlin function several groups have discovered 34 merlin interacting proteins, including ezrin, radixin, moesin, CD44, layilin, paxillin, actin, N-WASP, betaII-spectrin, microtubules, TRBP, eIF3c, PIKE, NHERF, MAP, RalGDS, RhoGDI, EG1/magicin, HEI10, HRS, syntenin, caspr/paranodin, DCC, NGB, CRM1/exportin, SCHIP1, MYPT-1-PP1delta, RIbeta, PKA, PAK (three types), calpain and Drosophila expanded. Many of the proteins that interact with the merlin N-terminal domain also bind ezrin, while other merlin interacting proteins do not bind other members of the ERM family. Merlin also interacts with itself. This review describes these proteins, their possible roles in NF2, and the resultant hypothesized merlin functions. Review of all of the merlin interacting proteins and functional consequences of losses of these interactions reveals multiple merlin actions in PI3-kinase, MAP kinase and small GTPase signaling pathways that might be targeted to inhibit the proliferation of NF2 tumors.

Signals transmitted via multichain immunoreceptors control the development, differentiation and activation of hematopoetic cells. The cytoplasmic parts of these receptors contain immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) that upon phosphorylation by members of the Src tyrosine kinase family orchestrate a complex set of signaling events involving tyrosine phosphorylation, generation of second messengers like DAG, IP3 and Ca2+, activation of effector molecules like Ras and MAPKs and the translocation and activation of transcription factors like NFAT, API and NF-kB. Spatial and temporal organization of these signaling events is essential both to connect the receptors to downstream cascades as well as to control the functional outcome of the immune activation. Throughout this process control and fine-tuning of the different signals are necessary both for effective immune function and in order to avoid inappropriate or exaggerated immune activation and autoimmunity. This control includes modulating mechanisms that set the threshold for activation and reset the activation status after an immune response has been launched. One immunomodulating pathway is the cAMP-protein kinase A-Csk pathway scaffolded by a supramolecular complex residing in lipid rafts with the A kinase-anchoring protein (AKAP) ezrin, the Csk-binding protein PAG and a linker between the two, EBP50. Failure of correct scaffolding and loss of spatiotemporal control can potentially have severe consequences, leading to immune failure or autoimmunity. The clinical relevance of supramolecular complexes specifically organized by scaffolding proteins in regulating immune activity and the specter of genetic diseases linked to different signaling components suggest that protein-protein contact surfaces can be potential targets for drug intervention. It is also of interest to note that different pathogens have evolved strategies to specifically modulate signal integration, thereby rewiring the signal in a way beneficial for their survival. In addition to demonstrating the importance of different signal processes, these adaptations are elegant illustrations of the potential for drug targeting of protein assembly. This chapter reviews some of the important scaffolding events downstream of immunoreceptors with focus on signaling transduction through the T-cell receptor (TCR).

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.
