The A663T polymorphism of the {alpha}-subunit of the human Epithelial Sodium Channel (hENaC) increases the functional and surface expression of {alpha}{beta}{gamma}-hENaC in Xenopus oocytes, and the context of this residue in the C-terminus of {alpha}-hENaC is important for this effect. Query of a phosphoprotein database suggested that the {alpha}-T663 residue of hENaC might be a substrate for phosphorylation by Casein Kinase 1 (CK1). We tested the hypotheses that phosphorylation of {alpha}-T663-hENaC by CK1 would regulate the increased functional and surface expression of {alpha}-T663-hENaC vs. {alpha}-A663-hENaC in oocytes. General inhibition of CK1 with IC261 decreased the functional and surface expression of {alpha}-T663-hENaC, but not {alpha}-A663-hENaC. This decrease in {alpha}-T663-hENaC functional expression resulted from reduced delivery of {alpha}-T663-hENaC to the oocyte membrane. IC261 also inhibited the functional expression of {alpha}-T692-mENaC and a chimeric m(1-678)/h(650-669){alpha}-T663, m{beta}{gamma} ENaC, but not {alpha}-A692-mENaC or m(1-678)/h(650-669){alpha}-A663, m{beta}{gamma} ENaC. These data suggest that additional residues outside of the {alpha}-hENaC C-terminus are important for modulation of {alpha}-T663-hENaC trafficking by CK1. Overexpression of CK1{alpha} did not alter functional expression of {alpha}-T663-hENaC. In contrast, modest overexpression of CK1{delta} enhanced, while higher levels of CK1{delta} overexpression inhibited {alpha}-T663-hENaC functional expression. CK1 did not phosphorylate the C-terminus of either {alpha}-T663-hENaC or {alpha}-A663-hENaC in vitro. These data suggest that CK1, and perhaps specifically CK1{delta}, regulates the intracellular trafficking of the {alpha}-A663T functional polymorphism of hENaC indirectly by altering the rate of {alpha}-T663-hENaC biosynthesis and/or delivery to the plasma membrane.
