Abstract
Prior studies showed that epidermal growth factor (EGF) inhibits vasopressin-stimulated osmotic water permeability in the renal collecting duct. Here, we investigated the underlying mechanism. Using isolated perfused rat inner medullary collecting ducts (IMCDs), we found that the addition of EGF to the peritubular bath significantly decreased 1-deamino-8-d-arginine vasopressin (dDAVP)-stimulated water permeability, confirming prior observations. The inhibitory effect of EGF on water permeability was associated with a reduction in intracellular cAMP levels and protein kinase A (PKA) activity. Using phospho-specific antibodies and immunoblotting in IMCD suspensions, we showed that EGF significantly reduces phosphorylation of AQP2 at Ser264 and Ser269. This effect was absent when 8-cpt-cAMP was used to induce AQP2 phosphorylation, suggesting that EGF's inhibitory effect was at a pre-cAMP step. Immunofluorescence labeling of microdissected IMCDs showed that EGF significantly reduced apical AQP2 abundance in the presence of dDAVP. To address what protein kinase might be responsible for Ser269 phosphorylation, we used Bayesian analysis to integrate multiple-omic datasets. Thirteen top-ranked protein kinases were subsequently tested by in vitro phosphorylation experiments for their ability to phosphorylate AQP2 peptides using a mass spectrometry readout. The results show that the PKA catalytic-α subunit increased phosphorylation at Ser256, Ser264, and Ser269. None of the other kinases tested phosphorylated Ser269. In addition, H-89 and PKI strongly inhibited dDAVP-stimulated AQP2 phosphorylation at Ser269. These results indicate that EGF decreases the water permeability of the IMCD by inhibiting cAMP production, thereby inhibiting PKA and decreasing AQP2 phosphorylation at Ser269, a site previously shown to regulate AQP2 endocytosis.NEW & NOTEWORTHY The authors used native rat collecting ducts to show that inhibition of vasopressin-stimulated water permeability by epidermal growth factor involves a reduction of aquaporin 2 phosphorylation at Ser269, a consequence of reduced cAMP production and PKA activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Protein phosphorylation is one of the most prevalent posttranslational modifications involved in molecular control of cellular processes, and is mediated by over 520 protein kinases in humans and other mammals. Identification of the protein kinases responsible for phosphorylation events is key to understanding signaling pathways. Unbiased phosphoproteomics experiments have generated a wealth of data that can be used to identify protein kinase targets and their preferred substrate sequences. METHODS This study utilized prior data from mass spectrometry-based studies identifying sites of protein phosphorylation after in vitro incubation of protein mixtures with recombinant protein kinases. PTM-Logo software was used with these data to generate position-dependent Shannon information matrices and sequence motif 'logos'. Webpages were constructed for facile access to logos for each kinase and a new stand-alone application was written in Python that uses the position-dependent Shannon information matrices to identify kinases most likely to phosphorylate a particular phosphorylation site. RESULTS A database of kinase substrate target preference logos allows browsing, searching, or downloading target motif data for each protein kinase ( https://esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov/Databases/Kinase_Logos/ ). These logos were combined with phylogenetic analysis of protein kinase catalytic sequences to reveal substrate preference patterns specific to particular groups of kinases ( https://esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov/Databases/Kinase_Logos/KinaseTree.html ). A stand-alone program, KinasePredictor, is provided ( https://esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov/Databases/Kinase_Logos/KinasePredictor.html ). It takes as input, amino-acid sequences surrounding a given phosphorylation site and generates a ranked list of protein kinases most likely to phosphorylate that site. CONCLUSIONS This study provides three new resources for protein kinase characterization. It provides a tool for prediction of kinase-substrate interactions, which in combination with other types of data (co-localization, etc.), can predict which kinases are likely responsible for a given phosphorylation event in a given tissue.

Abstract
Tolvaptan, a vasopressin antagonist selective for the V2-subtype vasopressin receptor (V2R), is widely used in the treatment of hyponatremia and autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Its effects on signaling in collecting duct cells have not been fully characterized. Here, we perform RNA-seq in a collecting duct cell line (mpkCCD). The data show that tolvaptan inhibits the expression of mRNAs that were previously shown to be increased in response to vasopressin including aquaporin-2, but also reveals mRNA changes that were not readily predictable and suggest off-target actions of tolvaptan. One such action is activation of the MAPK kinase (ERK1/ERK2) pathway. Prior studies have shown that ERK1/ERK2 activation is essential in the regulation of a variety of cellular and physiological processes and can be associated with cell proliferation. In immunoblotting experiments, we demonstrated that ERK1/ERK2 phosphorylation in mpkCCD cells was significantly reduced by vasopressin, in contrast to the increases seen in non-collecting-duct cells overexpressing V2R in prior studies. We also found that tolvaptan has a strong effect to increase ERK1/ERK2 phosphorylation in the presence of vasopressin and that tolvaptan's effect to increase ERK1/ERK2 phosphorylation is absent in mpkCCD cells in which both protein kinase A (PKA)-catalytic subunits have been deleted. Thus, it appears that the tolvaptan effect to increase ERK activation is PKA-dependent and is not due to an off-target effect of tolvaptan. We conclude that in cells expressing V2R at endogenous levels: 1) vasopressin decreases ERK1/ERK2 activation; 2) in the presence of vasopressin, tolvaptan increases ERK1/ERK2 activation; and 3) these effects are PKA-dependent.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Vasopressin is a key hormone that regulates the function of the collecting duct of the kidney. ERK1 and ERK2 are enzymes that play key roles in physiological regulation in all cells. The authors used collecting duct cell cultures to investigate the effects of vasopressin and the vasopressin receptor antagonist tolvaptan on ERK1 and ERK2 phosphorylation and activation.

Abstract
Ca2+/Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase 2 (CAMK2) family proteins are involved in the regulation of cellular processes in a variety of tissues including brain, heart, liver, and kidney. One member, CAMK2δ (CAMK2D), has been proposed to be involved in vasopressin signaling in the renal collecting duct, which controls water excretion through regulation of the water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2). To identify CAMK2D target proteins in renal collecting duct cells (mpkCCD), we deleted Camk2d and carried out LC-MS/MS-based quantitative phosphoproteomics. Specifically, we used CRISPR/Cas9 with two different guide RNAs targeting the CAMK2D catalytic domain to create multiple CAMK2D KO cell lines. AQP2 protein abundance was lower in the CAMK2D KO cells than in CAMK2D-intact controls. AQP2 phosphorylation at Ser256 and Ser269 (normalized for total AQP2) was decreased. However, trafficking of AQP2 to and from the apical plasma membrane was sustained. Large-scale quantitative phosphoproteomic analysis (TMT-labeling) in the presence of the vasopressin analog dDAVP (0.1 nM, 30 min) allowed quantification of 11,570 phosphosites of which 169 were significantly decreased, while 206 were increased in abundance in CAMK2D KO clones. These data are available for browsing or download at https://esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov/Databases/CAMK2D-proteome/. Motif analysis of the decreased phosphorylation sites revealed a target preference of -(R/K)-X-X-p(S/T)-X-(D/E), matching the motif identified in previous in vitro phosphorylation studies using recombinant CAMK2D. Thirty five of the significantly downregulated phosphorylation sites in CAMK2D KO cells had exactly this motif and are judged to be likely direct CAMK2D targets. This adds to the list of known CAMK2D target proteins found in prior reductionist studies.

Abstract
Circadian variability in kidney function is well recognized but is often ignored as a potential confounding variable in physiological experiments. Here, we have created a data resource consisting of expression levels for mRNA transcripts in microdissected proximal tubule segments from mice as a function of the time of day. Small-sample RNA sequencing was applied to microdissected S1 proximal convoluted tubules and S2 proximal straight tubules. After stringent filtering, the data were analyzed using JTK-Cycle to detect periodicity. The data set is provided as a user-friendly webpage at https://esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov/Databases/Circadian-Prox2/. In proximal convoluted tubules, 234 transcripts varied in a circadian manner (4.0% of the total). In proximal straight tubules, 334 transcripts varied in a circadian manner (5.3%). Transcripts previously known to be associated with corticosteroid action and with increased flow were found to be overrepresented among circadian transcripts peaking during the "dark" portion of the day [zeitgeber time (ZT)14-22], corresponding to peak levels of corticosterone and glomerular filtration rate in mice. To ask whether there is a time-of-day dependence of protein abundances in the kidney, we carried out LC-MS/MS-based proteomics in whole mouse kidneys at ZT12 and ZT0. The full data set (n = 6,546 proteins) is available at https://esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov/Databases/Circadian-Proteome/. Overall, 293 proteins were differentially expressed between ZT12 and ZT0 (197 proteins greater at ZT12 and 96 proteins greater at ZT0). Among the regulated proteins, only nine proteins were found to be periodic in the RNA-sequencing analysis, suggesting a high level of posttranscriptional regulation of protein abundances.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Circadian variation in gene expression can be an important determinant in the regulation of kidney function. The authors used RNA-sequencing transcriptomics and LC-MS/MS-based proteomics to identify gene products expressed in a periodic manner. The data were used to construct user-friendly web resources.

Abstract
Vasopressin controls renal water excretion through actions to regulate aquaporin-2 (AQP2) trafficking, transcription, and degradation. These actions are in part dependent on vasopressin-induced phosphorylation changes in collecting duct cells. Although most efforts have focused on the phosphorylation of AQP2 itself, phosphoproteomic studies have identified many vasopressin-regulated phosphorylation sites in proteins other than AQP2. The goal of this bioinformatics-based review is to create a compendium of vasopressin-regulated phosphorylation sites with a focus on those that are seen in both native rat inner medullary collecting ducts and cultured collecting duct cells from the mouse (mpkCCD), arguing that these sites are the best candidates for roles in AQP2 regulation. This analysis identified 51 vasopressin-regulated phosphorylation sites in 45 proteins. We provide resource web pages at https://esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov/Databases/AVP-Phos/ and https://esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov/AVP-Network/, listing the phosphorylation sites and describing annotated functions of each of the vasopressin-targeted phosphoproteins. Among these sites are 23 consensus protein kinase A (PKA) sites that are increased in response to vasopressin, consistent with a central role for PKA in vasopressin signaling. The remaining sites are predicted to be phosphorylated by other kinases, most notably ERK1/2, which accounts for decreased phosphorylation at sites with a X-p(S/T)-P-X motif. Additional protein kinases that undergo vasopressin-induced changes in phosphorylation are Camkk2, Cdk18, Erbb3, Mink1, and Src, which also may be activated directly or indirectly by PKA. The regulated phosphoproteins are mapped to processes that hypothetically can account for vasopressin-mediated control of AQP2 trafficking, cytoskeletal alterations, and Aqp2 gene expression, providing grist for future studies.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Vasopressin regulates renal water excretion through control of the aquaporin-2 water channel in collecting duct cells. Studies of vasopressin-induced protein phosphorylation have focused mainly on the phosphorylation of aquaporin-2. This study describes 44 phosphoproteins other than aquaporin-2 that undergo vasopressin-mediated phosphorylation changes and summarizes potential physiological roles of each.

Abstract
Background A major goal in the discovery of cellular signaling networks is to identify regulated phosphorylation sites (“phosphosites”) and map them to the responsible protein kinases. The V2 vasopressin receptor is a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) that is responsible for regulation of renal water excretion through control of aquaporin-2-mediated osmotic water transport in kidney collecting duct cells. Genome editing experiments have demonstrated that virtually all vasopressin-triggered phosphorylation changes are dependent on protein kinase A (PKA), but events downstream from PKA are still obscure. Methods Here, we used: 1) Tandem mass tag-based quantitative phosphoproteomics to experimentally track phosphorylation changes over time in native collecting ducts isolated from rat kidneys; 2) a clustering algorithm to classify time course data based on abundance changes and the amino acid sequences surrounding the phosphosites; and 3) Bayes’ Theorem to integrate the dynamic phosphorylation data with multiple prior “omic” data sets covering expression, subcellular location, known kinase activity, and characteristic surrounding sequences to identify a set of protein kinases that are regulated secondary to PKA activation. Results Phosphoproteomic studies revealed 185 phosphosites regulated by vasopressin over 15 min. The resulting groups from the cluster algorithm were integrated with Bayes’ Theorem to produce corresponding ranked lists of kinases likely responsible for each group. The top kinases establish three PKA-dependent protein kinase modules whose regulation mediate the physiological effects of vasopressin at a cellular level. The three modules are 1) a pathway involving several Rho/Rac/Cdc42-dependent protein kinases that control actin cytoskeleton dynamics; 2) mitogen-activated protein kinase and cyclin-dependent kinase pathways that control cell proliferation; and 3) calcium/calmodulin-dependent signaling. Conclusions Our findings identify a novel set of downstream small GTPase effectors and calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinases with potential roles in the regulation of water permeability through actin cytoskeleton rearrangement and aquaporin-2 trafficking. The proposed signaling network provides a stronger hypothesis for the kinases mediating V2 vasopressin receptor responses, encouraging future targeted examination via reductionist approaches. Furthermore, the Bayesian analysis described here provides a template for investigating signaling via other biological systems and GPCRs. Video abstract

Abstract
Systems biology can be defined as the study of a biological process in which all of the relevant components are investigated together in parallel to discover the mechanism. Although the approach is not new, it has come to the forefront as a result of genome sequencing projects completed in the first few years of the current century. It has elements of large-scale data acquisition (chiefly next-generation sequencing-based methods and protein mass spectrometry) and large-scale data analysis (big data integration and Bayesian modeling). Here we discuss these methodologies and show how they can be applied to understand the downstream effects of GPCR signaling, specifically looking at how the neurohypophyseal peptide hormone vasopressin, working through the V2 receptor and PKA activation, regulates the water channel aquaporin-2. The emerging picture provides a detailedframework for understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in water balance disorders, pointing the way to improved treatment of both polyuric disorders and water-retention disorders causing dilutional hyponatremia.

Abstract
The regulation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels in kidney epithelial cells is important in at least 2 groups of disorders, namely water balance disorders and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Focusing on the latter, we review genes that code for proteins that are determinants of cAMP levels in cells. We identify which of these determinants are expressed in the 14 kidney tubule segments using recently published RNA-sequencing and protein mass spectrometry data ("autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease-omics"). This includes G protein-coupled receptors, adenylyl cyclases, cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases, cAMP transporters, cAMP-binding proteins, regulator of G protein-signaling proteins, G protein-coupled receptor kinases, arrestins, calcium transporters, and calcium-binding proteins. In addition, compartmentalized cAMP signaling in the primary cilium is discussed, and a specialized database of the proteome of the primary cilium of cultured "IMCD3" cells is provided as an online resource (https://esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov/Databases/CiliumProteome/). Overall, this article provides a general resource in the form of a curated list of proteins likely to play roles in determination of cAMP levels in kidney epithelial cells and, therefore, likely to be determinants of progression of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

Abstract
Aquaporin-2 (Aqp2) gene transcription is strongly regulated by vasopressin in the renal collecting duct. However, the transcription factors (TFs) responsible for the regulation of expression of Aqp2 remain largely unknown. We used Bayes' theorem to integrate several -omics data sets to stratify the 1,344 TFs present in the mouse genome with regard to probabilities of regulating Aqp2 gene transcription. Also, we carried out new RNA sequencing experiments mapping the time course of vasopressin-induced changes in the transcriptome of mpkCCD cells to identify TFs that change in tandem with Aqp2. The analysis identified 17 of 1,344 TFs that are most likely to be involved in the regulation of Aqp2 gene transcription. These TFs included eight that have been proposed in prior studies to play a role in Aqp2 regulation, viz., Cebpb, Elf1, Elf3, Ets1, Jun, Junb, Nfkb1, and Sp1. The remaining nine represent new candidates for future studies (Atf1, Irf3, Klf5, Klf6, Mef2d, Nfyb, Nr2f6, Stat3, and Nr4a1). Conspicuously absent is CREB (Creb1), which has been widely proposed to mediate vasopressin-induced regulation of Aqp2 gene transcription (Nielsen S, Frokiaer J, Marples D, Kwon TH, Agre P, Knepper MA. Physiol Rev 82: 205-244, 2002; Kortenoeven ML, Fenton RA. Biochim Biophys Acta 1840: 1533-1549, 2014; Bockenhauer D, Bichet DG. Nat Rev Nephrol 11: 576-588, 2015; Pearce D, Soundararajan R, Trimpert C, Kashlan OB, Deen PM, Kohan DE. Clin J Am Soc Nephrol 10: 135-146, 2015). Instead, another CREB-like TF, Atf1, ranked fourth among all TFs. RNA sequencing time-course experiments showed a rapid increase in Aqp2 mRNA, within 3 h of vasopressin exposure. This response was matched by an equally rapid increase in the abundance of the mRNA coding for Cebpb, which we have shown by chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing studies to bind downstream from the Aqp2 gene. The identified TFs provide a roadmap for future studies to understand regulation of Aqp2 gene expression.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Abetted by the advent of systems biology-based ("-omics") techniques in the 21st century, there has been a massive expansion of published data relevant to virtually every physiological question. The authors have developed a large-scale data integration approach based on the application of Bayes'' theorem. In the current work, they integrated 12 different -omics data sets to identify the transcription factors most likely to mediate vasopressin-dependent regulation of transcription of the aquaporin-2 gene.

Abstract
Kidney transport and other renal functions are regulated by multiple G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) expressed along the renal tubule. The rapid, recent appearance of comprehensive unbiased gene expression data in the various renal tubule segments, chiefly RNA sequencing and protein mass spectrometry data, has provided a means of identifying patterns of GPCR expression along the renal tubule. To allow for comprehensive mapping, we first curated a comprehensive list of GPCRs in the genomes of mice, rats, and humans (https://hpcwebapps.cit.nih.gov/ESBL/Database/GPCRs/) using multiple online data sources. We used this list to mine segment-specific and cell type-specific expression data from RNA-sequencing studies in microdissected mouse tubule segments to identify GPCRs that are selectively expressed in discrete tubule segments. Comparisons of these mapped mouse GPCRs with other omics datasets as well as functional data from isolated perfused tubule and micropuncture studies confirmed patterns of expression for well-known receptors and identified poorly studied GPCRs that are likely to play roles in the regulation of renal tubule function. Thus, we provide data resources for GPCR expression across the renal tubule, highlighting both well-known GPCRs and understudied receptors to provide guidance for future studies.

Abstract
The fluid in the 14 distinct segments of the renal tubule undergoes sequential transport processes that gradually convert the glomerular filtrate into the final urine. The solute carrier (SLC) family of proteins is responsible for much of the transport of ions and organic molecules along the renal tubule. In addition, some SLC family proteins mediate housekeeping functions by transporting substrates for metabolism. Here, we have developed a curated list of SLC family proteins. We used the list to produce resource webpages that map these proteins and their transcripts to specific segments along the renal tubule. The data were used to highlight some interesting features of expression along the renal tubule including sex-specific expression in the proximal tubule and the role of accessory proteins (β-subunit proteins) that are thought to be important for polarized targeting in renal tubule epithelia. Also, as an example of application of the data resource, we describe the patterns of acid-base transporter expression along the renal tubule.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The peptide hormone vasopressin regulates water transport in the renal collecting duct largely via the V2 receptor, which triggers a cAMP-mediated activation of a PKA-dependent signalling network. The protein kinases downstream from PKA have not been fully identified or mapped to regulated phosphoproteins. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH We carried out systems-level analysis of large-scale phosphoproteomic data quantifying vasopressin-induced changes in phosphorylation in aquaporin-2-expressing cultured collecting duct (mpkCCD) cells. Quantification was done using stable isotope labelling (SILAC method). KEY RESULTS Six hundred forty phosphopeptides were quantified. Stringent statistical analysis identified significant changes in response to vasopressin in 429 of these phosphopeptides. The corresponding phosphoproteins were mapped to known vasopressin-regulated cellular processes. The vasopressin-regulated sites were classified according to the sequences surrounding the phosphorylated amino acids giving 11 groups. Among the vasopressin-regulated phosphoproteins were 25 distinct protein kinases. Among these, six plus PKA appeared to account for phosphorylation of about 81% of the 313 vasopressin-regulated phosphorylation sites. The six downstream kinases were salt-inducible kinase 2 (Sik2), cyclin-dependent kinase 18 (Cdk18), calmodulin-dependent kinase kinase 2 (Camkk2), protein kinase D2 (Prkd2), mitogen-activated kinase 3 (Mapk3) and myosin light chain kinase (Mylk). CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS In V2 receptor-mediated signalling, PKA is at the head of a complex network that includes at least six downstream vasopressin-regulated protein kinases that are prime targets for future study. The extensive phosphoproteomic data reported in this study are provided as a web-based data resource for future studies of GPCRs.

Abstract
Vasopressin regulates osmotic water transport in the renal collecting duct by protein kinase A (PKA)-mediated control of the water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2). Collecting duct principal cells express two seemingly redundant PKA catalytic subunits, PKA catalytic α (PKA-Cα) and PKA catalytic β (PKA-Cβ). To identify the roles of these two protein kinases, we carried out deep phosphoproteomic analysis in cultured mpkCCD cells in which either PKA-Cα or PKA-Cβ was deleted using CRISPR-Cas9-based genome editing. Controls were cells carried through the genome editing procedure but without deletion of PKA. TMT mass tagging was used for protein mass spectrometric quantification. Of the 4,635 phosphopeptides that were quantified, 67 phosphopeptides were significantly altered in abundance with PKA-Cα deletion, whereas 21 phosphopeptides were significantly altered in abundance with PKA-Cβ deletion. However, only four sites were changed in both. The target proteins identified in PKA-Cα-null cells were largely associated with cell membranes and membrane vesicles, whereas target proteins in PKA-Cβ-null cells were largely associated with the actin cytoskeleton and cell junctions. In contrast, in vitro incubation of mpkCCD proteins with recombinant PKA-Cα and PKA-Cβ resulted in virtually identical phosphorylation changes. In addition, analysis of total protein abundances in in vivo samples showed that PKA-Cα deletion resulted in a near disappearance of AQP2 protein, whereas PKA-Cβ deletion did not decrease AQP2 abundance. We conclude that PKA-Cα and PKA-Cβ serve substantially different regulatory functions in renal collecting duct cells and that differences in phosphorylation targets may be due to differences in protein interactions, e.g., mediated by A-kinase anchor proteins, C-kinase anchoring proteins, or PDZ binding.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are intracellular transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides and lack protein-coding information. A subclass of lncRNA known as long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) are transcribed from genomic regions that share no overlap with annotated protein-coding genes. Increasing evidence has shown that some annotated lincRNA transcripts do in fact contain open reading frames (ORFs) encoding functional short peptides in the cell. Few robust methods for lincRNA-encoded peptide identification have been reported, and the tissue-specific expression of these peptides has been largely unexplored. Here we propose an integrative workflow for lincRNA-encoded peptide discovery and test it on the mouse kidney inner medulla (IM). In brief, low molecular weight protein fractions were enriched from homogenate of IMs and trypsinized into shorter peptides, which were sequenced by high resolution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). To curate a hypothetical lincRNA-encoded peptide database for peptide-spectrum matching following LC-MS/MS, we performed RNA-Seq on IMs, computationally removed reads overlapping with annotated protein-coding genes, and remapped the remaining reads to a database of mouse noncoding transcripts to infer lincRNA expression. Expressed lincRNAs were searched for ORFs by an existing rule-based algorithm, and translated ORFs were used for peptide-spectrum matching. Peptides identified by LC-MS/MS were further evaluated by using several quality control criteria and bioinformatics methods. We discovered three novel lincRNA-encoded peptides, which are conserved in mouse, rat, and human. The workflow can be adapted for discovery of small protein-coding genes in any species or tissue where noncoding transcriptome information is available.

Abstract
Water excretion by the kidney is regulated by the neurohypophyseal peptide hormone vasopressin through actions in renal collecting duct cells to regulate the water channel protein aquaporin-2. Vasopressin signaling is initiated by binding to a G-protein-coupled receptor called V2R, which signals through heterotrimeric G-protein subunit Gs α, adenylyl cyclase 6, and activation of the cAMP-regulated protein kinase (PKA). Signaling events coupling PKA activation and aquaporin-2 regulation were largely unknown until the advent of modern protein mass spectrometry techniques that allow proteome-wide quantification of protein phosphorylation changes (phosphoproteomics). This short review documents phosphoproteomic findings in collecting duct cells describing the response to V2R-selective vasopressin agonists and antagonists, the response to CRISPR-mediated deletion of PKA, results from in vitro phosphorylation studies using recombinant PKA, the response to the broad-spectrum kinase inhibitor H89 (N-[2-p-bromocinnamylamino-ethyl]-5-isoquinolinesulphonamide), and the responses underlying lithium-induced nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. These phosphoproteomic data sets have been made available online for modeling vasopressin signaling and signaling downstream from other G-protein-coupled receptors. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: New developments in protein mass spectrometry are facilitating progress in identification of signaling networks. Using mass spectrometry, it is now possible to identify and quantify thousands of phosphorylation sites in a given cell type (phosphoproteomics). The authors describe the use of phosphoproteomics technology to identify signaling mechanisms downstream from a G-protein-coupled receptor, the vasopressin V2 subtype receptor, and its role of the regulation and dysregulation of water excretion in the kidney. Data from multiple phosphoproteomic data sets are provided as web-based resources.

Abstract
Vasopressin regulates renal water excretion by binding to a Gα s-coupled receptor (V2R) in collecting duct cells, resulting in increased water permeability through regulation of the aquaporin-2 (AQP2) water channel. This action is widely accepted to be associated with cAMP-mediated activation of protein kinase A (PKA). Here, we use phosphoproteomics in collecting duct cells in which PKA has been deleted (CRISPR-Cas9) to identify PKA-independent responses to vasopressin. The results show that V2R-mediated vasopressin signaling is predominantly, but not entirely, PKA-dependent. Upregulated sites in PKA-null cells include Ser256 of AQP2, which is critical to regulation of AQP2 trafficking. In addition, phosphorylation changes in the protein kinases Stk39 (SPAK) and Prkci (an atypical PKC) are consistent with PKA-independent regulation of these protein kinases. Target motif analysis of the phosphopeptides increased in PKA-null cells indicates that vasopressin activates one or more members of the AMPK/SNF1-subfamily of basophilic protein kinases. In vitro phosphorylation assays using recombinant, purified SNF1-subfamily kinases confirmed postulated target specificities. Of interest, measured IBMX-dependent cAMP levels were an order of magnitude higher in PKA-null than in PKA-intact cells, indicative of a PKA-dependent feedback mechanism. Overall, the findings support the conclusion that V2-receptor mediated signaling in collecting duct cells is in part PKA-independent.

Abstract
Prior studies have implicated myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) in the regulation of aquaporin-2 (AQP2) in the renal collecting duct. To discover signaling targets of MLCK, we used CRISPR-Cas9 to delete the MLCK gene (Mylk) to obtain MLCK-null mpkCCD cells and carried out comprehensive phosphoproteomics using stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture for quantification. Immunocytochemistry and electron microscopy demonstrated a defect in the processing of AQP2-containing early endosomes to late endosomes. The phosphoproteomics experiments revealed that, of the 1,743 phosphopeptides quantified over multiple replicates, 107 were changed in abundance by MLCK deletion (29 decreased and 78 increased). One of the decreased phosphopeptides corresponded to the canonical target site in myosin regulatory light chain. Network analysis indicated that targeted phosphoproteins clustered into distinct structural/functional groups: actomyosin, signaling, nuclear envelope, gene transcription, mRNA processing, energy metabolism, intermediate filaments, adherens junctions, and tight junctions. There was significant overlap between the derived MLCK signaling network and a previously determined PKA signaling network. The presence of multiple proteins in the actomyosin category prompted experiments showing that MLCK deletion inhibits the normal effect of vasopressin to depolymerize F-actin, providing a potential explanation for the AQP2 trafficking defect. Changes in phosphorylation of multiple proteins in the nuclear envelope prompted measurement of nuclear size, showing a significant increase in average nuclear volume. We conclude that MLCK is part of a multicomponent signaling pathway in both the cytoplasm and nucleus that includes much more than simple regulation of conventional nonmuscle myosins through myosin regulatory light chain phosphorylation.

Abstract
Vasopressin controls water balance largely through PKA-dependent effects to regulate the collecting duct water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2). Although considerable information has accrued regarding the regulation of water and solute transport in collecting duct cells, information is sparse regarding the signaling connections between PKA and transport responses. Here, we exploited recent advancements in protein mass spectrometry to perform a comprehensive, multiple-replicate analysis of changes in the phosphoproteome of native rat inner medullary collecting duct cells in response to the vasopressin V2 receptor-selective agonist 1-desamino-8D-arginine vasopressin. Of the 10,738 phosphopeptides quantified, only 156 phosphopeptides were significantly increased in abundance, and only 63 phosphopeptides were decreased, indicative of a highly selective response to vasopressin. The list of upregulated phosphosites showed several general characteristics: 1) a preponderance of sites with basic (positively charged) amino acids arginine (R) and lysine (K) in position -2 and -3 relative to the phosphorylated amino acid, consistent with phosphorylation by PKA and/or other basophilic kinases; 2) a greater-than-random likelihood of sites previously demonstrated to be phosphorylated by PKA; 3) a preponderance of sites in membrane proteins, consistent with regulation by membrane association; and 4) a greater-than-random likelihood of sites in proteins with class I COOH-terminal PDZ ligand motifs. The list of downregulated phosphosites showed a preponderance of those with proline in position +1 relative to the phosphorylated amino acid, consistent with either downregulation of proline-directed kinases (e.g., MAPKs or cyclin-dependent kinases) or upregulation of one or more protein phosphatases that selectively dephosphorylate such sites (e.g., protein phosphatase 2A). The phosphoproteomic data were used to create a web resource for the investigation of G protein-coupled receptor signaling and regulation of AQP2-mediated water transport.

Abstract
Background Renal water excretion is controlled by vasopressin, in part through regulation of the transcription of the aquaporin-2 gene (Aqp2).Methods To identify enhancer regions likely to be involved in the regulation of Aqp2 and other principal cell-specific genes, we used several next generation DNA-sequencing techniques in a well characterized cultured cell model of collecting duct principal cells (mpkCCD). To locate enhancers, we performed the assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-Seq) to identify accessible regions of DNA and integrated the data with data generated by chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by next generation DNA-sequencing (ChIP-Seq) for CCCTC binding factor (CTCF) binding, histone H3 lysine-27 acetylation, and RNA polymerase II.Results We identified two high-probability enhancers centered 81 kb upstream and 5.8 kb downstream from the Aqp2 transcriptional start site. Motif analysis of these regions and the Aqp2 promoter identified several potential transcription factor binding sites, including sites for two b-ZIP transcription factors: CCAAT/enhancer binding protein-β (C/EBPβ) and cAMP-responsive element binding protein (CREB). To identify genomic binding sites for both, we conducted ChIP-Seq using well characterized antibodies. In the presence of vasopressin, C/EBPβ, a pioneer transcription factor critical to cell-specific gene expression, bound strongly at the identified enhancer downstream from Aqp2 However, over multiple replicates, we found no detectable CREB binding sites within 390 kb of Aqp2 Thus, any role for CREB in the regulation of Aqp2 gene transcription is likely to be indirect.Conclusions The analysis identified two enhancer regions pertinent to transcriptional regulation of the Aqp2 gene and showed C/EBPβ (but not CREB) binding.

Abstract
Phosphorylation of the aquaporin-2 (AQP2) water channel at four COOH-terminal serines plays a central role in the regulation of water permeability of the renal collecting duct. The level of phosphorylation at these sites is determined by a balance between phosphorylation by protein kinases and dephosphorylation by phosphatases. The phosphatases that dephosphorylate AQP2 have not been identified. Here, we use large-scale data integration techniques to identify serine-threonine phosphatases likely to interact with AQP2 in renal collecting duct principal cells. As a first step, we have created a comprehensive list of 38 S/T phosphatase catalytic subunits present in the mammalian genome. Then we used Bayes' theorem to integrate available information from large-scale data sets from proteomic and transcriptomic studies to rank the known S/T phosphatases with regard to the likelihood that they interact with AQP2 in renal collecting duct cells. To broaden the analysis, we have generated new proteomic data (LC-MS/MS) identifying 4538 distinct proteins including 22 S/T phosphatases in cytoplasmic fractions from native inner medullary collecting duct cells from rats. The official gene symbols corresponding to the top-ranked phosphatases (common names in parentheses) were: Ppp1cb (PP1-β), Ppm1g (PP2C), Ppp1ca (PP1-α), Ppp3ca (PP2-B or calcineurin), Ppp2ca (PP2A-α), Ppp1cc (PP1-γ), Ppp2cb (PP2A-β), Ppp6c (PP6C), and Ppp5c (PP5). This ranking correlates well with results of prior reductionist studies of ion and water channels in renal collecting duct cells.

Abstract
Due to recent advances in high-throughput techniques, we and others have generated multiple proteomic and transcriptomic databases to describe and quantify gene expression, protein abundance, or cellular signaling on the scale of the whole genome/proteome in kidney cells. The existence of so much data from diverse sources raises the following question: "How can researchers find information efficiently for a given gene product over all of these data sets without searching each data set individually?" This is the type of problem that has motivated the "Big-Data" revolution in Data Science, which has driven progress in fields such as marketing. Here we present an online Big-Data tool called BIG (Biological Information Gatherer) that allows users to submit a single online query to obtain all relevant information from all indexed databases. BIG is accessible at http://big.nhlbi.nih.gov/.

Abstract
Aquaporin-2 (AQP2) is regulated in part via vasopressin-mediated changes in protein half-life that are in turn dependent on AQP2 ubiquitination. Here we addressed the question, "What E3 ubiquitin ligase is most likely to be responsible for AQP2 ubiquitination?" using large-scale data integration based on Bayes' rule. The first step was to bioinformatically identify all E3 ligase genes coded by the human genome. The 377 E3 ubiquitin ligases identified in the human genome, consisting predominant of HECT, RING, and U-box proteins, have been used to create a publically accessible and downloadable online database (https://hpcwebapps.cit.nih.gov/ESBL/Database/E3-ligases/). We also curated a second database of E3 ligase accessory proteins that included BTB domain proteins, cullins, SOCS-box proteins, and F-box proteins. Using Bayes' theorem to integrate information from multiple large-scale proteomic and transcriptomic datasets, we ranked these 377 E3 ligases with respect to their probability of interaction with AQP2. Application of Bayes' rule identified the E3 ligases most likely to interact with AQP2 as (in order of probability): NEDD4 and NEDD4L (tied for first), AMFR, STUB1, ITCH, ZFPL1. Significantly, the two E3 ligases tied for top rank have also been studied extensively in the reductionist literature as regulatory proteins in renal tubule epithelia. The concordance of conclusions from reductionist and systems-level data provides strong motivation for further studies of the roles of NEDD4 and NEDD4L in the regulation of AQP2 protein turnover.

Abstract
Kidney collecting duct principal cells play a key role in blood pressure regulation and water balance in part through the action of vasopressin. We integrated data from prior proteomics and transcriptomics studies of cultured mouse mpkCCD cells using Bayes’ Rule to rank transcription factors (TFs) likely to be involved in vasopressin-mediated transcriptional regulation. The top ranked TF was the AP-1 component Fos-like 2 (Fosl2) and the third ranked TF was Sox4. We carried out ChIP-seq analysis (HiSeq 2000 sequencer) to identify genomic sites of Fosl2 binding using an antibody successfully employed for ChIP-seq in the Mouse ENCODE Project. mpkCCD cells treated with the vasopressin analog dDAVP or vehicle were separately analyzed. The success of the immunoprecipitation of Fosl2 was confirmed by western blotting and LC-MS/MS of the immuno-precipitated material (ChIP-MS). ChIP-MS identified two different Fosl2 peptides, but there were no peptides corresponding to other AP-1 proteins. ChIP-MS also identified Bub1b, a nuclear protein kinase known to phosphorylate histones, as a Fosl2-interacting protein. Fosl2-binding sites successfully mapped to genes by ChIP-seq included a Fosl2 binding site, centered at 87 bp upstream from the transcription start site [TSS] of Sox4, that was strongly downregulated in response to dDAVP, n=2; confirmed by ChIP-PCR. TF binding site prediction (Genomatix) identifies putative Sox4 binding sites in vasopressin-regulated genes beta-ENaC (-822 bp from TSS) and aquaporin-2 (-515 bp from TSS). These data provide an initial step in identification of the vasopressin-regulated transcriptional network in renal collecting duct cells.

Abstract
The mouse mpkCCD cell line is a continuous cultured epithelial cell line with characteristics of renal collecting duct principal cells. This line is widely used to study epithelial transport and its regulation. To provide a data resource useful for experimental design and interpretation in studies using mpkCCD cells, we have carried out "deep" proteomic profiling of these cells using three levels of fractionation (differential centrifugation, SDS-PAGE, and HPLC) followed by tandem mass spectrometry to identify and quantify proteins. The analysis of all resulting samples generated 34.6 gigabytes of spectral data. As a result, we identified 6,766 proteins in mpkCCD cells at a high level of stringency. These proteins are expressed over eight orders of magnitude of protein abundance. The data are provided to users as a public data base (https://helixweb.nih.gov/ESBL/Database/mpkFractions/). The mass spectrometry data were mapped back to their gel slices to generate "virtual Western blots" for each protein. For most of the 6,766 proteins, the apparent molecular weight from SDS-PAGE agreed closely with the calculated molecular weight. However, a substantial fraction (>15%) of proteins was found to run aberrantly, with much higher or much lower mobilities than predicted. These proteins were analyzed to identify mechanisms responsible for altered mobility on SDS-PAGE, including high or low isoelectric point, high or low hydrophobicity, physiological cleavage, residence in the lysosome, posttranslational modifications, and expression of alternative isoforms due to alternative exon usage. Additionally, this analysis identified a previously unrecognized isoform of aquaporin-2 with apparent molecular mass <20 kDa.

Abstract
Vasopressin controls osmotic water transport in the renal collecting duct through regulation of aquaporin-2 (AQP2). We carried out bioinformatic analysis of quantitative proteomic data from the accompanying article to investigate the mechanisms involved. The experiments used stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture in cultured mpkCCD cells to quantify each protein species in each of five differential-centrifugation (DC) fractions with or without the vasopressin analog 1-desamino-8-d-arginine-vasopressin (dDAVP). The mass spectrometry data and parallel Western blot experiments confirmed that dDAVP addition is associated with an increase in AQP2 abundance in the 17,000-g pellet and a corresponding decrease in the 200,000-g pellet. Remarkably, all subunits of the cytoplasmic ribosome also increased in the 17,000-g pellet in response to dDAVP (P < 10(-34)), with a concomitant decrease in the 200,000-g pellet. Eukaryotic translation initiation complex 3 (eIF3) subunits underwent parallel changes (P < 10(-6)). These findings are consistent with translocation of assembled ribosomes and eIF3 complexes into the rough endoplasmic reticulum in response to dDAVP. Conversely, there was a systematic decrease in small GTPase abundances in the 17,000-g fraction. In contrast, most proteins, including protein kinases, showed no systematic redistribution among DC fractions. Of the 521 protein kinases coded by the mouse genome, 246 were identified, but many fewer were found to colocalize with AQP2 among DC fractions. Bayes' rule was used to integrate the new colocalization data with prior data to identify protein kinases most likely to phosphorylate aquaporin-2 at Ser(256) (Camk2b > Camk2d > Prkaca) and Ser(261) (Mapk1 = Mapk3 > Mapk14).

Abstract
In the renal collecting duct, binding of AVP to the V2 receptor triggers signaling changes that regulate osmotic water transport. Short-term regulation of water transport is dependent on vasopressin-induced phosphorylation of aquaporin-2 (AQP2) at Ser256. The protein kinase that phosphorylates this site is not known. We use Bayes' theorem to rank all 521 rat protein kinases with regard to the likelihood of a role in Ser256 phosphorylation on the basis of prior data and new experimental data. First, prior probabilities were estimated from previous transcriptomic and proteomic profiling data, kinase substrate specificity data, and evidence for kinase regulation by vasopressin. This ranking was updated using new experimental data describing the effects of several small-molecule kinase inhibitors with known inhibitory spectra (H-89, KN-62, KN-93, and GSK-650394) on AQP2 phosphorylation at Ser256 in inner medullary collecting duct suspensions. The top-ranked kinase was Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CAMK2), followed by protein kinase A (PKA) and protein kinase B (AKT). Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based in vitro phosphorylation studies compared the ability of three highly ranked kinases to phosphorylate AQP2 and other inner medullary collecting duct proteins, PKA, CAMK2, and serum/glucocorticoid-regulated kinase (SGK). All three proved capable of phosphorylating AQP2 at Ser256, although CAMK2 and PKA were more potent than SGK. The in vitro phosphorylation experiments also identified candidate protein kinases for several additional phosphoproteins with likely roles in collecting duct regulation, including Nedd4-2, Map4k4, and 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1. We conclude that Bayes' theorem is an effective means of integrating data from multiple data sets in physiology.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), the protein dysfunctional in cystic fibrosis, is unique among ATP-binding cassette transporters in that it functions as an ion channel. In CFTR, ATP binding opens the channel, and its subsequent hydrolysis causes channel closure. We studied the conformational changes in the pore-lining sixth transmembrane segment upon ATP binding by measuring state-dependent changes in accessibility of substituted cysteines to methanethiosulfonate reagents. Modification rates of three residues (resides 331, 333, and 335) near the extracellular side were 10-1000-fold slower in the open state than in the closed state. Introduction of a charged residue by chemical modification at two of these positions (resides 331 and 333) affected CFTR single-channel gating. In contrast, modifications of pore-lining residues 334 and 338 were not state-dependent. Our results suggest that ATP binding induces a modest conformational change in the sixth transmembrane segment, and this conformational change is coupled to the gating mechanism that regulates ion conduction. These results may establish a structural basis of gating involving the dynamic rearrangement of transmembrane domains necessary for vectorial transport of substrates in ATP-binding cassette transporters.

Abstract
In past studies, we demonstrated regulation of CFTR Cl channel function by protein kinase C (PKC)-ϵ through the binding of PKC-ϵ to RACK1 (a receptor for activated C-kinase) and of RACK1 to human Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor (NHERF1). In this study, we investigated the site of RACK1 binding on NHERF1 using solid-phase and solution binding assays and pulldown, immunoprecipitation, and 36Cl efflux experiments. Recombinant RACK1 binding to glutathione S-transferase (GST)-tagged PDZ1 domain of NHERF1 was 10-fold higher than its binding to GST-tagged PDZ2 domain of NHERF1. PDZ1 binds to RACK1 in a dose-dependent manner and vice versa, with similar binding constants of 1.67 and 1.26 μg, respectively. Interaction of the PDZ1 domain with RACK1 was not blocked by binding of activated PKC-ϵ to RACK1. A GST-tagged PDZ1 domain pulled down endogenous RACK1 from Calu-3 cell lysate. An internal 11-amino acid motif embedding the GYGF carboxylate binding loop of PDZ1 binds to RACK1, inhibits binding of recombinant NHERF1 and RACK1, pulls down endogenous RACK1 from Calu-3 cell lysate, and blocks coimmunoprecipitation of endogenous RACK1 with endogenous NHERF1 but does not affect cAMP-dependent activation of CFTR. A similar amino acid sequence in the PDZ2 domain did not bind RACK1. Our results indicate binding of Calu-3 RACK1 predominantly to the PDZ1 domain of NHERF1 at a site encompassing the GYGF loop of the PDZ1 domain and a site on RACK1 distinct from a PKC-ϵ binding site. CFTR activation by cAMP-generating agent is not affected by loss of RACK1-NHERF1 interaction.

Abstract
The ROMK subtypes of inward rectifier K+ channels (Kir 1.1, KCNJ1) mediate potassium secretion and regulate NaCl reabsorption in the kidney. In the present study, the role of the PDZ binding motif in ROMK function is explored. Here we identify the Na/H exchange regulatory factors, NHERF-1 and NHERF-2, as PDZ domain interaction partners of the ROMK channel. Characterization of the basis and consequences of NHERF association with ROMK reveals a PDZ interaction-dependent trafficking process and a coupling mechanism for linking ROMK to a channel modifier protein, the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR). As measured by antibody binding of external epitope-tagged forms of Kir 1.1 in intact cells, NHERF-1 or NHERF-2 coexpression increased cell surface expression of ROMK. Channel interaction with NHERF proteins and effects of NHERF on ROMK localization were dependent on the presence of the PDZ domain binding motif in ROMK. Both NHERF proteins contain two PDZ domains; recombinant protein-protein binding assays and yeast-two-hybrid studies revealed that ROMK preferentially associates with the second PDZ domain of NHERF-1 and with the first PDZ domain of NHERF-2, precisely opposite of what has been reported for CFTR. Consistent with the scaffolding capacity of the NHERF proteins, coexpression of NHERF-2 with ROMK and CFTR dramatically increases the amount of ROMK protein that coimmunopurifies and functionally interacts with CFTR. Thus NHERF facilitates assembly of a ternary complex containing ROMK and CFTR. These observations raise the possibility that PDZ-based interactions may underscore physiological regulation and membrane targeting of ROMK in the kidney.

Abstract
Dynamic regulation of ion channels is critical for maintaining fluid balance in epithelial tissues. Cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease characterized by impaired fluid transport in epithelial tissues, is caused by dysfunctional cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl- channel activity. Recent studies have shown that binding of PSD-95/Dlg/ZO-1 (PDZ) domain proteins to CFTR is important for retaining it at the apical membrane and for regulating its channel activity. Here, we describe a phosphorylation mechanism that regulates CFTR channel activity, which is mediated by PDZ domains. The Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor (NHERF) binds to CFTR and increases its open probability (Po). Protein kinase C disrupts the stimulatory effect of NHERF on CFTR channel Po. Phosphorylation by PKC of Ser-162 in the PDZ2 domain of NHERF is critical for this functional effect. Furthermore, a mutation in PDZ2 that mimics phosphorylation decreases CFTR binding and disrupts the ability of NHERF PDZ1-2 to stimulate CFTR channel Po. Our results identify a role for PKC and suggest that phosphorylation of NHERF PDZ2 domain may be an important mechanism for regulating CFTR channel activity.

Abstract
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a cAMP-dependent protein kinase- and ATP-regulated chloride channel, the activity of which determines the rate of electrolyte and fluid transport in a variety of epithelial tissues. Here we describe a mechanism that regulates CFTR channel activity, which is mediated by PDZ domains, a family of conserved protein-interaction modules. The Na(+)/H(+) exchanger regulatory factor (NHERF) binds to the cytoplasmic tail of CFTR through either of its two PDZ (PDZ1 and PDZ2) domains. A recombinant fragment of NHERF (PDZ1-2) containing the two PDZ domains increases the open probability (P(o)) of single CFTR channels in excised membrane patches from a lung submucosal gland cell line. Both PDZ domains are required for this functional effect, because peptides containing mutations in either domain are unable to increase channel P(o). The concentration dependence of the regulation by the bivalent PDZ1-2 domain is biphasic, i.e., activating at lower concentrations and inhibiting at higher concentrations. Furthermore, either PDZ domain alone or together is without effect on P(o), but either domain can competitively inhibit the PDZ1-2-mediated stimulation of CFTR. Our results support a molecular model in which bivalent NHERF PDZ domains regulate channel gating by crosslinking the C-terminal tails in a single dimeric CFTR channel, and the magnitude of this regulation is coupled to the stoichiometry of these interactions.

Abstract
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is an ATP-gated Cl(-) channel that regulates other epithelial transport proteins by uncharacterized mechanisms. We employed a yeast two-hybrid screen using the COOH-terminal 70 residues of CFTR to identify proteins that might be involved in such interactions. The alpha1 (catalytic) subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) was identified as a dominant and novel interacting protein. The interaction is mediated by residues 1420-1457 in CFTR and by the COOH-terminal regulatory domain of alpha1-AMPK. Mutations of two protein trafficking motifs within the 38-amino acid region in CFTR each disrupted the interaction. GST-fusion protein pull-down assays in vitro and in transfected cells confirmed the CFTR-alpha1-AMPK interaction and also identified alpha2-AMPK as an interactor with CFTR. AMPK is coexpressed in CFTR-expressing cell lines and shares an apical distribution with CFTR in rat nasal epithelium. AMPK phosphorylated full-length CFTR in vitro, and AMPK coexpression with CFTR in Xenopus oocytes inhibited cAMP-activated CFTR whole-cell Cl(-) conductance by approximately 35-50%. Because AMPK is a metabolic sensor in cells and responds to changes in cellular ATP, regulation of CFTR by AMPK may be important in inhibiting CFTR under conditions of metabolic stress, thereby linking transepithelial transport to cell metabolic state.

Abstract
The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP(3)R) is an intracellular Ca(2+)-release channel localized in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) with a central role in complex Ca(2+) signaling in most cell types. A family of InsP(3)Rs encoded by several genes has been identified with different primary sequences, subcellular locations, variable ratios of expression, and heteromultimer formation. This diversity suggests that cells require distinct InsP(3)Rs, but the functional correlates of this diversity are largely unknown. Lacking are single-channel recordings of the recombinant type 3 receptor (InsP(3)R-3), a widely expressed isoform also implicated in plasma membrane Ca(2+) influx and apoptosis. Here, we describe functional expression and single-channel recording of recombinant rat InsP(3)R-3 in its native membrane environment. The approach we describe suggests a novel strategy for expression and recording of recombinant ER-localized ion channels in the ER membrane. Ion permeation and channel gating properties of the rat InsP(3)R-3 are strikingly similar to those of Xenopus type 1 InsP(3)R in the same membrane. Using two different two-electrode voltage clamp protocols to examine calcium store-operated calcium influx, no difference in the magnitude of calcium influx was observed in oocytes injected with rat InsP(3)R-3 cRNA compared with control oocytes. Our results suggest that if cellular expression of multiple InsP(3)R isoforms is a mechanism to modify the temporal and spatial features of [Ca(2+)](i) signals, then it must be achieved by isoform-specific regulation or localization of various types of InsP(3)Rs that have relatively similar Ca(2+) permeation properties.

Abstract
To find more efficient vectors for the transfer of CFTR cDNA, lactosylated polylysine was explored for transfer into airway epithelial cells in primary culture. The efficacy and high efficiency of transfection were shown by several criteria: expression of both mRNA and protein for CFTR and the functional correction of the Cl- channel activity. Using specific combinations of agents to enhance the transfection, an efficiency of 90% was obtained as detected by in situ hybridization with digoxigenin-labeled probes generated against exon 14 of CFTR. The highest efficiency was observed by adding E5CA peptide (10 microg) and 5% glycerol to the transfection mixture. The degree of transfection could be controlled by the enhancing agents, thus modulating the efficiency of transfection. The highest level of transfection efficiency is equivalent to that reported for viral vectors. None of the agents or their combinations in the concentrations used were cytotoxic to the primary cells. Antibody pAb3145 was used to detect the expression of the CFTR protein in the cells. When an N-terminal GFP-CFTR fusion gene was used to transfect the CF cells a functional correction of the CFTR Cl- channel was detected by patch-clamp electrophysiology. The high efficiency of CFTR gene transfer with lactosylated polylysine leads to the conclusion that lactosylated polylysine is a promising vector to transfer the CFTR gene into human airway cells in culture.

Abstract
Cellular mechanisms involved in general anesthesia are unknown. We report here that sub-anesthetic concentrations of carbon dioxide specifically suppress the temperature-sensitive paralytic phenotype of Drosophila shibire(ts) mutants that have a conditional block in synaptic vesicle recycling. Carbon dioxide not only suppresses the onset of temperature-sensitive paralysis, but also rapidly reverses paralysis induced at the restrictive temperature. This effect of CO2 is most pronounced at about 35% in air, and depends on the absolute concentration of available carbon dioxide rather than on the ratio of oxygen to CO2. Other general anesthetics, halothane, N2 or argon do not suppress the paralytic phenotype of shibire significantly at concentrations we tested. Paralysis of the other temperature sensitive paralytic mutants in our collection is not suppressed by carbon dioxide. These behavioral observations are discussed in the light of possible mechanisms underlying paralysis of shi(ts) flies. We suggest that spontaneous seizures induced in shi(ts) flies held at their restrictive temperatures cause vesicle depletion at critical synapses and consequent behavioral paralysis. The effect of subanesthetic concentrations of CO2 may be to depress spontaneous CNS activity, thus raising the threshold temperature at which synaptic vesicle depletion occurs. In support of this model, we show that the threshold temperature for paralysis is reduced in shi(ts) flies when CNS activity is increased by pharmacological or genetic manipulations, and that subanesthetic concentrations of CO2 aggravate, rather than alleviate, the t.s. paralytic phenotype of hypoactive parats flies defective in axonal voltage-gated sodium channels.
