Diversity of Channels Generated by Different Combinations of Epithelial Sodium Channel Subunits

Carmel M. McNicholas and Cecilia M. Canessa

From the Department of Cellular and Molecular Physiology, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut 06520-8026

The epithelial sodium channel is a multimeric protein formed by three homologous subunits: {alpha}, β, and {gamma}; each subunit contains only two transmembrane domains. The level of expression of each of the subunits is markedly different in various Na+ absorbing epithelia raising the possibility that channels with different subunit composition can function in vivo. We have examined the functional properties of channels formed by the association of {alpha} with β and of {alpha} with {gamma} in the Xenopus oocyte expression system using two-microelectrode voltage clamp and patch-clamp techniques. We found that {alpha}β channels differ from {alpha}{gamma} channels in the following functional properties: (a) {alpha}β channels expressed larger Na+ than Li+ currents (INa+/ILi+ 1.2) whereas {alpha}{gamma} channels expressed smaller Na+ than Li+ currents (INa+/ILi+ 0.55); (b) the Michaelis Menten constants (Km) of activation of current by increasing concentrations of external Na+ and Li+ of {alpha}β channels were larger (Km > 180 mM) than those of {alpha}{gamma} channels (Km of 35 and 50 mM, respectively); (c) single channel conductances of {alpha}β channels (5.1 pS for Na+ and 4.2 pS for Li+) were smaller than those of {alpha}{gamma} channels (6.5 pS for Na+ and 10.8 pS for Li+); (d) the half-inhibition constant (Ki) of amiloride was 20-fold larger for {alpha}β channels than for {alpha}{gamma} channels whereas the Ki of guanidinium was equal for both {alpha}β and {alpha}{gamma}. To identify the domains in the channel subunits involved in amiloride binding, we constructed several chimeras that contained the amino terminus of the {gamma} subunit and the carboxy terminus of the β subunit. A stretch of 15 amino acids, immediately before the second transmembrane domain of the β subunit, was identified as the domain conferring lower amiloride affinity to the {alpha}β channels. We provide evidence for the existence of two distinct binding sites for the amiloride molecule: one for the guanidium moiety and another for the pyrazine ring. At least two subunits {alpha} with β or {gamma} contribute to these binding sites. Finally, we show that the most likely stoichiometry of {alpha}β and {alpha}{gamma} channels is 1{alpha}:1β and 1{alpha}:1{gamma}, respectively.

Key Words: epithelial Na+ channel • amiloride • guanidinium • Xenopus oocyte
