Channel-transporter complexes: an emerging theme in cell signaling.
Biochemical Journal 2016 November 2
In a recent edition of Biochemical Journal, Mistry et al. described the discovery of a novel protein complex, formed from the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) and the sodium chloride cotransporter (NCC) [Mistry et al. (2016) Biochem. J. 473, 3237–3252]. The importance of these two proteins in the regulation of salt balance and blood pressure has long been known, as has their overlapping expression in the distal convoluted tubule of the kidney. The new study by Mistry et al. now demonstrates their physical interaction in the kidney and when heterologously co-expressed. Furthermore, the authors demonstrate some degree of functional co-dependence between ENaC and NCC, with pharmacological inhibition of the latter diminishing activity of the former when the two are co-assembled. This novel and potentially important interaction adds to a growing number of recently identified channel-transporter ('chansporter') complexes, which together constitute an emerging theme in cell signaling.
