The delta subunit of the epithelial sodium channel (δENaC) is a member of the ENaC/degenerin family of ion channels. δENaC is distinct from the related α-, β- and γENaC subunits, known for their role in sodium homeostasis and blood pressure control, as δENaC is expressed in brain neurons and activated by external protons. COMMD1 (copper metabolism Murr1 domain 1) was previously found to associate with and downregulate δENaC activity. Here, we show that COMMD1 interacts with δENaC through its COMM domain. Co-expression of δENaC with COMMD1 significantly reduced δENaC surface expression, and led to an increase in δENaC ubiquitination. Immunocytochemical and confocal microscopy studies show that COMMD1 promoted localization of δENaC to the early/recycling endosomal pool where the two proteins were localized together. These results suggest that COMMD1 downregulates δENaC activity by reducing δENaC surface expression through promoting internalization of surface δENaC to an intracellular recycling pool, possibly via enhanced ubiquitination.
上皮钠离子通道的δ亚基(δENaC)是 ENaC/退行钠通道家族的成员之一。δENaC 与相关的 α、β 和 γENaC 亚基不同,后者在钠稳态和血压控制中发挥作用,而 δENaC 则在脑神经元中表达并被外部质子激活。先前发现 COMMD1(铜代谢 Murr1 结构域 1)与 δENaC 相互作用并下调其活性。在这里,我们表明 COMMD1 通过其 COMM 结构域与 δENaC 相互作用。δENaC 与 COMMD1 的共表达显著降低了 δENaC 的表面表达,并导致 δENaC 的泛素化增加。免疫细胞化学和共聚焦显微镜研究表明,COMMD1 促进了 δENaC 向早期/再循环内体池的定位,这两个蛋白在那里一起定位。这些结果表明,COMMD1 通过促进表面 δENaC 内化到细胞内再循环池中,从而可能通过增强泛素化来降低 δENaC 活性,从而减少 δENaC 的表面表达。
