INVITED REVIEW

PDZ interactions and proximal tubular phosphate reabsorption

Institute of Physiology, University of Zurich, CH-8057 Zurich, Switzerland

	ABSTRACT

TOP ABSTRACT INTERACTIONS OF PDZ PROTEINS... WHAT ARE NaPi-IIa-PDZ... SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK REFERENCES

 
In adults, the extent of renal reabsorption of P_i and consequently the extent of urinary excretion of phosphate are to a large extent determined by the abundance of the Na-P_i cotransporter NaPi-IIa (SLC34A1). Localization of this cotransporter is restricted to the apical membrane of proximal tubular cells, and its abundance is controlled by a number of factors and pathophysiological conditions. To guarantee a proper apical localization and specific regulated endocytosis of NaPi-IIa, an orchestrated pattern of protein interactions has to be envisaged. Attempts to screen for such interacting proteins resulted in the identification of a PDZ domain containing proteins. The purpose of this review is to discuss the roles of these PDZ proteins in proximal tubular Na-P_i cotransport.

In the kidney, reabsorption of the filtered P_i occurs mainly, if not exclusively, in proximal tubules. Transepithelial transport of P_i is initiated by an apical entry step and is strictly dependent on the presence of sodium as has been demonstrated with a number of different preparations (e.g., isolated tubules and isolated vesicles). Investigation of this cotransport established that the type lla Na/Pi-cotransporter (SLC34A1) is mainly responsible for Na-Pi cotransport activity in the apical membrane of proximal tubules (for a review, see Ref. 26). The solute carrier family SLC34 also comprises NaPi-IIb (SLC34A2) and NaPi-IIc (SLC34A3) (25). In the kidney, NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc are expressed, whereas NaPi-IIb is not. A number of findings suggest that the cotransporter NaPi-IIa plays the major role in renal P_i reabsorption and, consequently, in the maintenance of P_i homeostasis. 1) Targeted inactivation of the NaPi-IIa gene reduces Na-P_i cotransport in brush-border membrane vesicles by 70% (3). 2) In adults, NaPi-IIc is of minor abundance, and its role has been related primarily to growth (28). 3) In most physiological and pathophysiological conditions of altered renal P_i handling, e.g., provoked by a number of hormones, metabolic factors, genetic and aquired diseases, the abundance of NaPi-IIa is altered accordingly (2, 30, 33).

Regulation by parathyroid hormone (PTH) represents a paradigm for alterations of proximal tubular P_i reabsorption. PTH leads to a reduction of NaPi-IIa abundance in the apical membrane of proximal tubular cells. This decrease is explained by a clathrin-coated, vesicle-mediated endocytosis of NaPi-IIa at the base of the microvilli (intermicrovillar clefts) (2, 37, 43). As NaPi-IIa is distributed along the entire length of the microvillus (1 µm) (37, 43), this would indicate that NaPi-IIa cotransporters would have to move, in a constant or regulated manner, along the microvillar axis to be delivered to the site of endocytosis. Interestingly, internalized NaPi-IIa cotransporters do not accumulate in an intracellular compartment, which would allow recycling, but are routed to lysosomes and subsequently are degraded (2). Similar to PTH, rapid regulation of NaPi-IIa occurs also in response to changes in dietary P_i intake, where an acute switch from a low-P_i diet to a high-P_i diet induces a fast decrease in NaPi-IIa abundance (20).

Together, the exclusive apical localization and the phenomenology of the NaPi-IIa regulation suggest specific protein-protein interactions with the NaPi-IIa cotransporter that are required for proper apical positioning for the movement along the microvillus and for regulated endocytosis.

	INTERACTIONS OF PDZ PROTEINS WITH Na-Pi COTRANSPORTER NaPi-IIa

TOP ABSTRACT INTERACTIONS OF PDZ PROTEINS... WHAT ARE NaPi-IIa-PDZ... SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK REFERENCES

 
Initially, in a classic yeast two-hybrid screen using the intracellular COOH terminus of NaPi-IIa as bait, several PDZ domain-containing proteins were identified (9; for a definition of PDZ domains, see Refs. 6 and 27). No PDZ proteins were identified using the NH₂ terminus of NaPi-IIa as bait, which is localized at the cytoplasmic site as well. COOH-terminal-associated PDZ proteins were identical as NHERF1/EBP50 (42), NHERF2/E3KARP (44), PDZK1 [17; formerly NaPi-Cap1 (9)], a protein similar to PDZK1, named NaPi-Cap2 (9), and a CFTR-associated ligand (CAL) (5). Importantly, all PDZ proteins mentioned were localized either in the brush borders or in the subapical compartment of proximal tubular cells (Fig. 1).

Interactions of the Na-Pi-cotransporter NaPi-IIa with PDZ proteins in the brush borders and the subapical region of renal proximal tubular cells. Proximity of Na/H exchanger regulatory factor-1 (NHERF1) molecules indicates the possibility for the formation of homodimers (9, 19). Whereas firm evidence was obtained for the interactions of NaPi-IIa with NHERF1 and PDZK1, the interactions of NaPi-IIa with CFTR-associated ligand (CAL) and NaPi-Cap2 in the subapical region remain to be established. In addition, interactions of NaPi-IIa with the calcium-binding protein Vilip-3 and the peroxisomal protein PEX19 are indicated.

The interaction patterns of NHERF1 and PDZK1 to NaPi-IIa as derived from yeast two-hybrid trap assays were confirmed by several biochemical studies, such as glutathione-S-transferase pull-downs and gel overlays (8, 9). The hallmarks of these studies are as follows. 1) The interaction of the COOH terminus of NaPi-IIa with NHERF1 and PDZK1 depends on the last three amino acids, TRL, which represent a class I PDZ binding motif (27). 2) Although PDZK1 contains four and NHERF1 two PDZ domains, interaction with the COOH terminus of NaPi-IIa occurs specifically with single PDZ domains: PDZ-3 of PDZK1 and PDZ-1 of NHERF1 (8, 9). Whether the TRL motif confers enough specifity for interaction with the single PDZ domains mentioned remains uncertain. A contribution of more upstream amino acid residues has been postulated but not verified definitively.

It might be anticipated that the above-mentioned interactions with the soluble COOH terminus of NaPi-IIa do not reflect the circumstances of the entire and membrane-inserted protein. Recent progress allowed the expression of NaPi-IIa in yeast and its use as bait in a new yeast two-hybrid technology (split-ubiquitin) for studying interactions of fully synthesized and inserted membrane proteins (35). These studies confirmed the earlier findings and demonstrated that full-length and membrane-inserted NaPi-IIa interact with NHERF1 and PDZK1 via the COOH-terminal PDZ binding motif TRL (Gisler SM, Fuster D, Radanovic T, Engels K, Stagliar I, Murer H, Biber J, and Mow OW, unpublished observations).

	WHAT ARE NaPi-IIa-PDZ INTERACTIONS GOOD FOR?

TOP ABSTRACT INTERACTIONS OF PDZ PROTEINS... WHAT ARE NaPi-IIa-PDZ... SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK REFERENCES

 
Generally, PDZ proteins act as scaffolders of large, subcellular stuctures such as synapses and junctional complexes (6). Recent data supported a similar scaffolding role of PDZK1 and NHERF1 for the appropriate localization of a number of solute transport proteins in the apical membrane of proximal cells (8). In addition, those PDZ proteins provide a backbone for the spatial arrangements of receptors and other regulatory components necessary for the coordinate action of hormones. The current knowledge of how PDZK1 and NHERF1 influence NaPi-IIa-mediated Na-P_i cotransport is discussed below.

Apical Positioning

Whether NaPi-IIa-PDZ interactions are critical for the apical sorting of NaPi-IIa is not known. However, several studies demonstrated that NaPi-IIa-PDZ interactions are involved in the apical positioning of NaPi-IIa.

1) In opossum kidney (OK) cells, intrinsically expressed and green fluorescent protein-tagged NaPi-IIa codistributes in the apical membrane with small microvillus-like and -actin-rich structures, which are arranged in patches. After expression of truncated NaPi-IIa protein without TRL, the COOH-terminal PDZ binding motif, apical localization was disturbed and intracellular accumulation of NaPi-IIa was observed (15). Similarly, expression of single PDZ domains derived from NHERF1 and PDZK1, which were shown to interact with NaPi-IIa, impaired the apical localization of NaPi-IIa (11). It is noteworthy that NHERF1 is apically expressed in OK cells and colocalizes with NaPi-IIa in apical patches, whereas PDZK1 does not exhibit an exclusive apical localization but is distributed throughout the whole cell. Thus with respect to possible roles of PDZK1, results obtained with OK cells have to be considered as unconclusive.

2) OK-H cells, a clone which exhibits low endogenous expression of NHERF1, show an apical distribution of NaPi-IIa that is uniform and not organized in patches. After transfection of these cells with NHERF1, an apical patchy distribution of NaPi-IIa was observed similar to that in the original OK cells (22, 24). Obviously, these studies allocate to NHERF1 a direct or indirect function for the apical arrangement of NaPi-IIa.

3) Reduced apical abundance of NaPi-IIa was observed in kidneys of NHERF1-deficient mice. Compared with wild-type mice, the NaPi-IIa protein content in NHERF1^–/– mice was reduced by 50%. In accordance, these mice showed hypophosphatemia and an increased urinary loss of P_i (31).

4) In contrast to the impact of NHERF1 in the apical positioning of NaPi-IIa as discussed above, a similar importance of PDZK1 is less clear. A first study with PDZK1-deficient mice revealed that the absence of PDZK1 did not impair the apical abundance of NaPi-IIa in the proximal tubules and did not alter renal P_i handling (18). Thus it seems likely that under normal laboratory conditions (i.e., diet), the absence of PDZK1 may be compensated for by (a) redundant mechanism(s). However, after PDZK1^–/– mice were fed a high-P_i diet, a moderate reduction of the amount of NaPi-IIa and an increase in urinary excretion of P_i compared with wild-type mice was detected (Capuano P, Bacic D, Stange G, Hernando N, Kaissling B, Kocher O, Biber J, Wagner CA, and Murer H, unpublished observations).

Regulation of NaPi-IIa

The abundance of NaPi-IIa protein in the apical membrane is controlled by a number of hormones and metabolic factors. The best-studied changes in NaPi-IIa abundance are by downregulation initiated by PTH or alterations provoked by changes in dietary P_i content (20, 26, 33).

Hormonal regulation. Internalization of proximal tubular Na-P_i cotransport by PTH involves protein kinases that are activated on occupation of PTH receptors localized either at the apical membrane or at the basolateral membrane of renal proximal tubular cells; signaling via the basolateral PTH receptor is via PKA and PKC, whereas apically localized PTH receptors activate PKC only. Activation of either protein kinase results in a downregulation of NaPi-IIa, as evidenced from direct activations of PKA with cAMP or PKC with, for example, 1,2-dioctanoyl-glycerol (2, 25, 38). Both NHERF1 and PDZK1 may provide backbones for a correct apical and spatial arrangement of the components necessary for the regulation of NaPi-IIa by PTH.

Anchoring sites for PKA are indirectly provided by NHERF1 and PDZK1. Anchoring of PKA to NHERF1 is via ezrin, a member of the MERM (for merlin, ezrin, radixin, and moesin) protein family (4). This arrangement has been demonstrated to be important for the regulation of the Na/H exchanger NHE3 by cAMP (41). In contrast, in an in vitro study using kidney slices derived from NHERF-deficient mice, cAMP-stimulated internalization of NaPi-IIa was normal (Capuano P, Bacic D, Weinman EJ, Biber J, Murer H, and Wagner CA, unpublished observations). Therefore, it is concluded that the PKA/ezrin/NHERF1 complex is not required for the regulation of NaPi-IIa by PKA. Besides ezrin, AKAP79 (16) and D-AKAP2 (7, 12) were described as additional PKA-anchoring sites in the brush borders of proximal tubular cells. Direct association of AKAP79 has been suggested based on coprecipitations performed with OK cells, and functional evidence was obtained by an uncoupling of the PKA binding to AKAP79, which prevented PTH-mediated inhibition (16). Based on a yeast two-hybrid screen, D-AKAP2 has been found to interact with PDZK1 (7). Whether the PDZK1/D-AKAP2 complex has any functional significance for the regulation of NaPi-IIa has recently been investigated by using kidney slices derived from PDZK1-deficient mice. In these studies, regulation of NaPi-IIa by activation of PKA via PTH receptors or with cAMP was normal (Capuano P, Bacic D, Stange G, Hernando N, Kaissling B, Kocher O, Biber J, Wagner CA, and Murer H, unpublished observations). Therefore, the possible relevance of the spatial arrangement of PKA via the D-AKAP2/PDZK1 complex with respect to the regulation of NaPi-IIa remains debatable.

The signaling mechanism of apical PTH receptors involves activation of phospholipase C- (2, 24). NHERF1 was shown to interact with both the apical PTH receptor and PL-C (23, 32). In studies performed with kidney slices from NHERF1-deficient mice, impaired regulation of NaPi-IIa after activation of apical PTH receptors was observed (Capuano P, Bacic D, Weinman EJ, Biber J, Murer H, and Wagner CA, unpublished observations), indicating the requirement of a precise spatial arrangement of NaPi-IIa together with the apical PTH receptor and PLC- .

Nevertheless, not much is known about the signaling mechanisms leading to the downregulation of NaPi-IIa. As the apical distributions of PDZK1 and NHERF1 on activation of PTH receptors are not altered (2), it is assumed that specific modifications of either NaPi-IIa itself, the PDZ proteins, or other proteins that may associate with the PDZ complexes are required to modify the affinity constants of the PDZ-NaPi-IIa associations. Lowering the affinities of these interactions could, for example, increase the mobility of NaPi-IIa along the microvillar axis, allowing an increased delivery of NaPi-IIa to the endocytic machinery. This hypothesis would be sustained by the observation that deletion of the TRL motif in CFTR, which binds to NHERF1, increases the diffusional mobility of CFTR (10).

The demonstration that a number of protein kinases are involved in the regulation of NaPi-IIa suggests that phosphorylation reactions can be envisaged as on-off signals for NaPi-IIa-PDZ interactions. Thus far, attempts to demonstrate that NaPi-IIa is phosphorylated on PTH action have not been successful (2). On the other hand, both NHERF1 and PDZK1 represent phosphoproteins (Ref. 40 and Deliot N, Hernando N, Liu Z, Capuano P, Bacic D, Wagner CA, O’Brien S, Biber J, and Murer H, unpublished observations). Whether changes in the phosphorylation of NHERF1 and PDZK1, e.g., provoked by PTH, may alter the interactions with NaPi-IIa is not known.

By means of yeast two-hybrid screens, two proteins that are supposed to be part of the NaPi-IIa/PDZ protein complexes have been further identified: 1) the peroxisomal protein PEX19 was identified in a screen performed against an intracellular loop of NaPi-IIa, which confers PTH responsiveness to NaPi-IIa (13, 14); and 2) the calcium binding protein Vilip-3 was identified in a screen done against the NH₂ terminus of NaPi-IIa (29). It is of interest that both proteins are modified by farnesylation and myristoylation, respectively (13, 34). As calcium-dependent myristoylation of VILIP-3 was shown to alter its membrane association (34), it could be speculated that calcium-dependent lipid modifications are involved in the modulation (e.g., via the calcium-sensor; see Ref. 1) of the regulation of NaPi-IIa by PTH.

Adaptation. A diet of low P_i content results in a marked increase in the abundance of the NaPi-IIa protein that is not paralleled by an increase in NaPi-IIa mRNA (20, 21). The signaling mechanisms leading to this upregulation of NaPi-IIa are poorly understood. Under the same conditions, using different mouse strains and rats, work by our laboratory showed that the abundances of NHERF1 and PDZK1 (protein and mRNA) were not altered (22), which is in contrast to results reported by others (40).

Regulation of NaPi-IIa by dietary content of P_i has been investigated in NHERF1 as well as in PDZK1 knockout mice. In NHERF1-deficient mice, the chronic adaptation to a low-P_i diet leads to an increase in NaPi-IIa content that was quantitatively similar to that in wild-type mice (40). Interestingly, also in PDZK1^–/– mice, no differences in the acute and chronic adaptive responses compared with wild-type animals were noticed (Capuano P, Bacic D, Stange G, Hernando N, Kaissling B, Kocher O, Biber J, Wagner CA, and Murer H, unpublished observations). These data therefore suggest that neither NHERF1 nor PDZK1 is essentially required for the adaptation of NaPi-IIa to a low-P_i diet.

	SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK

TOP ABSTRACT INTERACTIONS OF PDZ PROTEINS... WHAT ARE NaPi-IIa-PDZ... SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK REFERENCES

 
Apical localization and regulation of NaPi-IIa in the brush-border membrane of proximal tubular cells require a network of protein interactions. Currently, the best-described members of such a protein network are the PDZ proteins NHERF1 and PDZK1. Interactions of NaPi-IIa with these PDZ proteins (notably NHERF1) appear to be important for apical stabilization of NaPi-IIa but also appear to provide anchoring sites for a number of regulatory elements, such as protein kinases and elements required for hormonal signaling mechanisms involved in the controlled endocytosis of NaPi-IIa. It is of interest that the anchoring of PKA to neither the ezrin/NHERF1 nor to the D-AKAP2/PDZK1 complex seems to be required for the regulation of NaPi-IIa by cAMP. In the context of a regulated endocytosis, which eventually also includes a regulated movement of NaPi-IIa along the microvillus (e.g., by on-off reactions of PDZ interactions) and in the context of the routing of internalized NaPi-IIa to the lysosomes, a number of questions remain to be answered. Finally, it is of note that NHERF1 and PDZK1 not only interact with NaPi-IIa but also with a number of other solute transporters such as NHE3, the chloride/formate exchanger CEFX, the urate transporter URAT1, and others (8). Whether such an arrangement of different transporters in microdomains of the brush-border membrane may affect Na-P_i cotransport activity by local changes (e.g., pH or ionic environment) remains to be clarified.
