Exocytic insertion of H(+)-ATPase into the apical membrane of inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells is dependent on a soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF) attachment protein target receptor (SNARE) complex. In this study we determined the role of Munc-18 in regulation of IMCD cell exocytosis of H(+)-ATPase. We compared the effect of acute cell acidification (the stimulus for IMCD exocytosis) on the interaction of syntaxin 1A with Munc-18-2 and the 31-kDa subunit of H(+)-ATPase. Immunoprecipitation revealed that cell acidification decreased green fluorescent protein (GFP)-syntaxin 1A and Munc-18-2 interaction by 49 +/- 7% and increased the interaction between GFP-syntaxin 1A and H(+)-ATPase by 170 +/- 23%. Apical membrane Munc-18-2 decreased by 27.5 +/- 4.6% and H(+)-ATPase increased by 246 +/- 22%, whereas GP-135, an apical membrane marker, did not increase. Pretreatment of IMCD cells with a PKC inhibitor (GO-6983) diminished the previously described changes in Munc-18-2-syntaxin 1A interaction and redistribution of H(+)-ATPase. In a pull-down assay of H(+)-ATPase by glutathione S-transferase (GST)-syntaxin 1A bound to beads, preincubation of beads with an approximately twofold excess of His-Munc-18-2 decreased H(+)-ATPase pulled down by 64 +/- 16%. IMCD cells that overexpress Munc-18-2 had a reduced rate of proton transport compared with control cells. We conclude that Munc-18-2 must dissociate from the syntaxin 1A protein for the exocytosis of H(+)-ATPase to occur. This dissociation leads to a conformational change in syntaxin 1A, allowing it to interact with H(+)-ATPase, synaptosome-associated protein (SNAP)-23, and vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP), forming the SNARE complex that leads to the docking and fusion of H(+)-ATPase vesicles.

ROMK potassium channels are present in the cortical collecting duct (CCD) of the kidney and serve as apical exit pathways for K+ secretion in this nephron segment. K+ secretion in the CCD is regulated by multiple factors. In this study, we show that syntaxin 1A, but not syntaxin 3 or 4, inhibited whole cell ROMK currents in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Syntaxin 1A, but not syntaxin 3 or 4, interacted with the COOH-terminal cytoplasmic domain of ROMK in intro. Coexpression with synaptobrevin 2 reversed inhibition of whole cell ROMK currents by syntaxin 1A. In excised inside-out membranes of oocytes, application of fusion proteins containing the cytoplasmic region of syntaxin 1A to the cytoplasmic face caused a dose-dependent inhibition of ROMK. We further examined regulation of the K+ channels in the CCD by syntaxin 1A. Application of botulinum toxin C1 to the excised inside-out membranes of the CCD caused an increase in the activity of K+ channels. In contrast, application of toxin B had no effects. These results suggest that syntaxin 1A causes a tonic inhibition of the K+ channels in the apical membrane of the CCD. Binding of synaptobrevin 2 to syntaxin 1A during docking and fusion of transport vesicles to the plasma membranes of CCD may lead to activation of these channels.

H(+) transport in the collecting duct is regulated by exocytic insertion of H(+)-ATPase-laden vesicles into the apical membrane. The soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein attachment protein (SNAP) receptor (SNARE) proteins are critical for exocytosis. Syntaxin 1A contains three main domains, SNARE N, H3, and carboxy-terminal transmembrane domain. Several syntaxin isoforms form SNARE fusion complexes through the H3 domain; only syntaxin 1A, through its H3 domain, also binds H(+)-ATPase. This raised the possibility that there are separate binding sites within the H3 domain of syntaxin 1A for H(+)-ATPase and for SNARE proteins. A series of truncations in the H3 domain of syntaxin 1A were made and expressed as glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion proteins. We determined the amount of H(+)-ATPase and SNARE proteins in rat kidney homogenate that complexed with GST-syntaxin molecules. Full-length syntaxin isoforms and syntaxin-1ADeltaC [amino acids (aa) 1-264] formed complexes with H(+)-ATPase and SNAP23 and vesicle-associated membrane polypeptide (VAMP). A cassette within the H3 portion was found that bound H(+)-ATPase (aa 235-264) and another that bound SNAP23 and VAMP (aa 190-234) to an equivalent degree as full-length syntaxin. However, the aa 235-264 cassette alone without the SNARE N (aa 1-160) does not bind but requires ligation to the SNARE N to bind H(+)-ATPase. When this chimerical construct was transected into inner medullary collecting duct cells it inhibited intracellular pH recovery, an index of H(+)-ATPase mediated secretion. We conclude that within the H3 domain of syntaxin 1A is a unique cassette that participates in the binding of the H(+)-ATPase to the apical membrane and confers specificity of syntaxin 1A in the process of H(+)-ATPase exocytosis.

We previously showed that ENaC is present in lipid rafts in A6 cells, a Xenopus kidney cell line. We now demonstrate that ENaC can be detected in lipid rafts in mouse cortical collecting duct ((MPK)CCD(14)) cells by detergent insolubility, buoyancy on density gradients using two distinct approaches, and colocalization with caveolin 1. Less than 30% of ENaC subunits were found in raft fractions. The channel subunits also colocalized on sucrose gradients with known vesicle targeting and fusion proteins syntaxin 1A, Vamp 2, and SNAP23. Hormonal stimulation of ENaC activity by either forskolin or aldosterone, short or long term, did not alter the lipid raft distribution of ENaC. Methyl-beta-cyclodextrin added apically to (MPK)CCD(14) cells resulted in a slow decline in amiloride-sensitive sodium transport with short circuit current reductions of 38.1 +/- 9.6% after 60 min. The slow decline in ENaC activity in response to apical cyclodextrin was identical to the rate of decline seen when protein synthesis was inhibited by cycloheximide. Apical biotinylation of (MPK)CCD(14) cells confirmed the loss of ENaC at the cell surface following cyclodextrin treatment. Acute stimulation of the recycling pool of ENaC was unaffected by apical cyclodextrin application. Expression of dominant negative caveolin isoforms (CAV1-eGFP and CAV3-DGV) which disrupt caveolae, reduced basal ENaC currents by 72.3 and 78.2%, respectively; but, as with cyclodextrin, the acute response to forskolin was unaffected. We conclude that ENaC is present in and regulated by lipid rafts. The data are consistent with a model in which rafts mediate the constitutive apical delivery of ENaC.
