Extracellular chloride regulates the epithelial sodium channel.
The extracellular domain of the epithelial sodium channel ENaC is exposed to a wide range of Cl(-) concentrations in the kidney and in other epithelia. We tested whether Cl(-) alters ENaC activity. In Xenopus oocytes expressing human ENaC, replacement of Cl(-) with SO4(2-), H2PO4(-), or SCN(-) produced a large increase in ENaC current, indicating that extracellular Cl(-) inhibits ENaC. Extracel...

متن کاملNon-specific activation of the epithelial sodium channel by the CFTR chloride channel.
The genetic disease cystic fibrosis is caused by mutation of the gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Controversial studies reported regulation of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) by CFTR. We found that uptake of (22)Na(+) through ENaC is modulated by activation of CFTR in oocytes, coexpressing CFTR and ENaC, depending on extracellular chloride con...
متن کاملSodium-coupled chloride transport by epithelial tissues.
There is compelling evidence that active Cl absorption by a variety of epithelia, widely distributed throughout the animal kingdom, is the result of an electrically neutral Na-coupled transport process at the luminal membrane and that the energy for transcellular Cl movement is derived from the Na gradient across that barrier. These co-transport processes are found predominantly in "leaky" or "...
متن کاملSodium self-inhibition of human epithelial sodium channel: selectivity and affinity of the extracellular sodium sensing site.
The epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC) is present in the apical membrane of "tight" epithelia in the distal nephron, distal colon, and airways. Its activity controls the rate of transepithelial sodium transport. Among other regulatory factors, ENaC activity is controlled by the concentration of extracellular Na(+), a phenomenon named self-inhibition. The molecular mechanism by which extracellular ...
