Abstract: | Activation of airwayepithelial Na-K-2Cl cotransporter (NKCC)1 requires increased activityof protein kinase C (PKC)-, which localizes predominantly to theactin cytoskeleton. Prompted by reports of a role for actin in NKCC1function, we studied a signaling mechanism linking NKCC1 and PKC.Stabilization of actin polymerization with jasplakinolide increasedactivity of NKCC1, whereas inhibition of actin polymerization withlatrunculin B prevented hormonal activation of NKCC1. Protein-proteininteractions among NKCC1, actin, and PKC- were verified by Westernblot analysis of immunoprecipitated proteins. PKC- was detected inimmunoprecipitates of NKCC1 and vice versa. Actin was also detected inimmunoprecipitates of NKCC1 and PKC-. Pulldown of endogenous actinrevealed the presence of NKCC1 and PKC-. Binding of recombinantPKC- to NKCC1 was not detected in overlay assays. Rather, activatedPKC- bound to actin, and this interaction was prevented by a peptideencoding C2, a C2-like domain based on the amino acid sequence ofPKC-. C2 also blocked stimulation of NKCC1 function bymethoxamine. Immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy revealedPKC- in the cytosol and cell periphery. Merged images of cellsstained for actin and PKC- indicated colocalization of PKC- andactin at the cell periphery. The results indicate that actin iscritical for the activation of NKCC1 through a direct interaction with PKC-. |
