Isoforms of the H-K-ATPase participate in active K resorption in
the renal collecting tubule. The cytoplasmic tail of the
-subunit of
the gastric H-K-ATPase includes a 4 amino acid motif which is highly
homologous to tyrosine-based endocytosis signals. We have generated
transgenic mice expressing an H-K-ATPase
-subunit in which the
tyrosine residue in this sequence has been mutated to alanine. Mice
expressing the mutated protein manifest constitutive hypersecretion of
gastric acid, demonstrating that the
-subunit tyrosine-based motif
is required for the regulated endocytosis of the H-K pump and hence the
cessation of gastric acid output. To test the possibility that the
tyrosine-based sequence in the tail of the H-K-ATPase
-subunit plays
a role in regulating the function of renal H-K-ATPases, we examined
renal K clearance in normal and in transgenic mice. Blood pressure,
urine volume, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), plasma Na, and Na
excretion are similar in control and transgenic mice.
However, plasma K concentrations are significantly higher in transgenic
mice (4.76 ± 0.13 meq/l in transgenic and 4.12 ± 0.04 meq/l in
control; n = 9, P < 0.05) and K excretion is lower
in the transgenic animals (fractional excretion of K was 26.2 ± 3.62% in transgenic and 50.1 ± 4.78% in control;
n = 9, P < 0.01). These data
suggest that the tyrosine-based signal in the cytoplasmic tail of the
H-K-ATPase
-subunit functions in the kidney as it does in the
stomach to internalize H-K pump and thus inactivate pump function. Its
elimination may result in the constitutive presence of the pump at the
cell surface and lead to excessive urinary K reabsorption.
