Activation of airway
epithelial Na-K-2Cl cotransporter (NKCC)1 requires increased activity
of protein kinase C (PKC)-
, which localizes predominantly to the
actin cytoskeleton. Prompted by reports of a role for actin in NKCC1
function, we studied a signaling mechanism linking NKCC1 and PKC.
Stabilization of actin polymerization with jasplakinolide increased
activity of NKCC1, whereas inhibition of actin polymerization with
latrunculin B prevented hormonal activation of NKCC1. Protein-protein
interactions among NKCC1, actin, and PKC-
were verified by Western
blot analysis of immunoprecipitated proteins. PKC-
was detected in
immunoprecipitates of NKCC1 and vice versa. Actin was also detected in
immunoprecipitates of NKCC1 and PKC-
. Pulldown of endogenous actin
revealed the presence of NKCC1 and PKC-
. Binding of recombinant
PKC-
to NKCC1 was not detected in overlay assays. Rather, activated
PKC-
bound to actin, and this interaction was prevented by a peptide
encoding
C2, a C2-like domain based on the amino acid sequence of
PKC-
.
C2 also blocked stimulation of NKCC1 function by
methoxamine. Immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy revealed
PKC-
in the cytosol and cell periphery. Merged images of cells
stained for actin and PKC-
indicated colocalization of PKC-
and
actin at the cell periphery. The results indicate that actin is
critical for the activation of NKCC1 through a direct interaction with PKC-
.
