Comparison of Na-K-Cl cotransporters. NKCC1, NKCC2, and the HEK cell Na-L-Cl cotransporter.

The Na-K-Cl cotransporter (NKCC) mediates the coupled movement of ions into most animal cells, playing important roles in maintenance of cell volume and in epithelial Cl transport. Two forms of NKCC have been described: NKCC1, the "housekeeping" isoform that is also responsible for Cl accumulation in secretory epithelial cells, and NKCC2, which mediates apical Na+K+Cl entry into renal epithelial cells. Here we examine the kinetic properties of NKCC1, NKCC2, and the endogenous HEK-293 cell cotransporter. Stable expression of rabbit NKCC2A was obtained in HEK-293 cells utilizing a chimera (h1r2A0.7) in which the 5'-untranslated region and cDNA encoding 104 amino acids of the N terminus are replaced by the corresponding sequence of NKCC1. h1r2A0.7 exhibits Na and Cl affinities near those of NKCC1, but it has a 4-fold lower Rb affinity, and a 3-fold higher affinity for the inhibitor bumetanide. The activity of h1r2A0.7 is increased on incubation in low [Cl] media as is NKCC1, but the resting level of activity is higher in h1r2A0.7 and activation is more rapid. h1r2A0.7 exhibits an appropriate volume response, unlike NKCC1 for which concomitant changes in [Cl]i appear to be the overriding factor. These results support a model in which apical NKCC2 activity is matched to basolateral Cl exit through changes in [Cl]i. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction of HEK-293 cell mRNA is positive with NKCC1 primers and negative with NKCC2 primers. Surprisingly, we found that the behavior of the endogenous HEK cell Na-K-Cl cotransporter is unlike either of the two forms which have been described: compared with NKCC1, HEK cell cotransporter has a 2.5-fold lower Na affinity, an 8-fold lower Rb affinity, and a 4-fold higher bumetanide affinity. These results suggest the presence of a novel isoform of NKCC in HEK-293 cells. << Less

The residues determining differences in ion affinities among the alternative splice variants F, A, and B of the mammalian renal Na-K-Cl cotransporter (NKCC2).

Three alternatively spliced variants of the renal Na-K-Cl cotransporter (NKCC2) are found in distinct regions of the thick ascending limb of the mammalian kidney; these variants mediate Na(+)K(+)2Cl(-) transport with different ion affinities. Here, we examine the specific residues involved in the variant-specific affinity differences, utilizing a mutagenic approach to change the NKCC2B variant into the A or F variant, with functional expression in Xenopus oocytes. The splice region contains the second transmembrane domain (TM2) and the putative intracellular loop (ICL1) connecting TM2 and TM3. It is found that the B variant is functionally changed to the F variant by replacement of six residues, half of the effect brought about by three TM2 residues and half by three ICL1 residues. The involvement of the ICL1 residues strongly suggests that this region of ICL1 may actually be part of a membrane-embedded domain. Changing six residues is also sufficient to bring about the smaller functional change from the B to the A variant; three residues in TM2 appear to be primarily responsible, two of which correspond to residues involved in the B-to-F changes. A B-variant mutation reported in a mild case of Bartter disease was found to render the cotransporter inactive. These results identify the combination of amino acid variations responsible for the differences among the three splice variants of NKCC2, and they support a model in which a reentrant loop following TM2 contributes to the chloride binding and translocation domains. << Less

By moving chloride into epithelial cells, the Na-K-Cl cotransporter aids transcellular movement of chloride across both secretory and absorptive epithelia. Using cDNA probes from the recently identified elasmobranch secretory Na-K-Cl cotransporter (sNKCC1) (Xu, J. C., Lytle, C. Zhu, T. T., Payne, J. A., Benz, E., and Forbush, B., III (1994) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 91, 2201-2205), we have identified the human homologue. By screening cDNA libraries of a human colonic carcinoma line, T84 cell, we identified a sequence of 4115 bases from overlapping clones. The deduced protein is 1212 amino acids in length, and analysis of the primary structure indicates 12 transmembrane segments. The primary structure is 74% identical to sNKCC1, 91% identical to a mouse Na-K-Cl cotransporter (mNKCC1), 58% identical to rabbit and rat renal Na-K-Cl cotransporters (NKCC2), and 43% identical to the thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransporters from flounder urinary bladder and rat kidney. Similar to sNKCC1 and mNKCC1, the 5'-end of the human colonic cotransporter is rich in G + C content. Interestingly, a triple repeat (GCG)7 occurs within the 5'-coding region and contributes to a large alanine repeat (Ala15). Two sites for N-linked glycosylation are predicted on an extracellular loop between putative transmembrane segments 7 and 8. A single potential site for phosphorylation by protein kinase A is present in the predicted cytoplasmic C-terminal domain. Northern blot analysis revealed a 7.4-7.5-kilobase transcript in T84 cells and shark rectal gland and a approximately 7.2-kilobase transcript in mammalian colon, kidney, lung, and stomach. Metaphase spreads from lymphocytes were probed with biotin-labeled cDNA and avidin fluorescein (the cotransporter gene was localized to human chromosome 5 at position 5q23.3). Human embryonic kidney cells stably transfected with the full-length cDNA expressed a approximately 170-kDa protein recognized by anti-cotransporter antibodies. Following treatment with N-glycosidase F, the molecular mass of the expressed protein was similar to that predicted for the core protein from the cDNA sequence (132-kDa) and identical to that of deglycosylated T84 cotransporter (approximately 135-kDa). The stably transfected cells exhibited a approximately 15-fold greater bumetanide-sensitive 86Rb influx than control cells, and this flux required external sodium and chloride. Flux kinetics were consistent with an electroneutral cotransport of 1Na:1K:2Cl. Preincubation in chloride-free media was necessary to activate fully the expressed cotransporter, suggesting a [Cl]-dependent regulatory mechanism. << Less

The bumetanide-sensitive Na(+):K(+):2Cl(-) cotransporter (BSC1) is the major pathway for salt reabsorption in the apical membrane of the mammalian thick ascending limb of Henle. Three isoforms of the cotransporter, known as A, B, and F, exhibit axial expression along the thick ascending limb. We report here a functional comparison of the three isoforms from mouse kidney. When expressed in Xenopus oocytes the mBSC1-A isoform showed higher capacity of transport, with no difference in the amount of surface expression. Kinetic characterization revealed divergent affinities for the three cotransported ions. The observed EC(50) values for Na(+), K(+), and Cl(-) were 5.0 +/- 3.9, 0.96 +/-0.16, and 22.2 +/- 4.8 mm for mBSC1-A; 3.0 +/- 0.6, 0.76 +/- 0.07, and 11.6 +/-0.7 mm for mBSC1-B; and 20.6 +/- 7.2, 1.54 +/- 0.16, and 29.2 +/-2.1 mm for mBSC1-F, respectively. Bumetanide sensitivity was higher in mBSC1-B compared with the mBSC1-A and mBSC1-F isoforms. All three transporters were partially inhibited by hypotonicity but to different extents. The cell swelling-induced inhibition profile was mBSC1-F > mBSC1-B > mBSC1-A. The function of the Na(+):K(+):2Cl(-) cotransporter was not affected by extracellular pH or by the addition of metolazone, 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS), or R(+)-[(2-n-butyl-6,7-dichloro-2-cyclopentyl-2,3-dihydro-1-oxo-1-H-indenyl-5-yl)-oxy]acetic acid (DIOA) to the extracellular medium. In contrast, exposure of oocytes to HgCl(2) before the uptake period reduced the activity of the cotransporter. The effect of HgCl(2) was dose-dependent, and mBSC1-A and mBSC1-B exhibited higher affinity than mBSC1-F. Overall, the functional comparison of the murine apical renal-specific Na(+):K(+):2Cl(-) cotransporter isoforms A, B, and F reveals important functional, pharmacological, and kinetic differences, with both physiological and structural implications. << Less
