We studied the cellular phosphatase inhibitors okadaic acid (OKA), calyculin A, and microcystin on the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) in A6 renal cells. OKA increased the amiloride-sensitive current after ~30 min with maximal stimulation at 1-2 h. Fluctuation analysis of cell-attached patches containing a large number of ENaC yielded power spectra with corner frequencies in untreated cells almost two times as large as in cells pretreated for 30 min with OKA, implying an increase in single channel open probability (Po) that doubled after OKA. Single channel analysis showed that, in cells pretreated with OKA, Po and mean open time approximately doubled. Two other phosphatase inhibitors, calyculin A and microcystin, had similar effects on Po and mean open time. An analog of OKA, okadaone, that does not inhibit phosphatases had no effect. Pretreatment with 10 nM OKA, which blocks protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) but not PP1 in mammalian cells, had no effect even though both phosphatases are present in A6 cells. Several proteins were differentially phosphorylated after OKA, but ENaC subunit phosphorylation did not increase. We conclude that, in A6 cells, there is an OKA-sensitive phosphatase that suppresses ENaC activity by altering the phosphorylation of a regulatory molecule associated with the channel.
