Structural bases for Na⁺-Cl^- cotransporter inhibition by thiazide diuretic drugs and activation by kinases.

ABSTRACT: The Na⁺-Cl^- cotransporter (NCC) drives salt reabsorption in the kidney and plays a decisive role in balancing electrolytes and blood pressure. Thiazide and thiazide-like diuretics inhibit NCC-mediated renal salt retention and have been cornerstones for treating hypertension and edema since the 1950s. Here we determine NCC co-structures individually complexed with the thiazide drug hydrochlorothiazide, and two thiazide-like drugs chlorthalidone and indapamide, revealing that they fit into an orthosteric site and occlude the NCC ion translocation pathway. Aberrant NCC activation by the WNKs-SPAK kinase cascade underlies Familial Hyperkalemic Hypertension, but it remains unknown whether/how phosphorylation transforms the NCC structure to accelerate ion translocation. We show that an intracellular amino-terminal motif of NCC, once phosphorylated, associates with the carboxyl-terminal domain, and together, they interact with the transmembrane domain. These interactions suggest a phosphorylation-dependent allosteric network that directly influences NCC ion translocation.

Project description:K+/Cl- cotransporter 2 (KCC2) is a major Cl- extruder in mature neurons and is responsible for the establishment of low intracellular [Cl-], necessary for fast hyperpolarizing GABAA-receptor mediated synaptic inhibition. Electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter 1 (NBCe1) is a pH regulatory protein expressed in neurons and glial cells. An interactome study identified NBCe1 as a possible interaction partner of KCC2. In this study, we investigated the putative effect of KCC2/NBCe1 interaction in baseline and the stimulus-induced phosphorylation pattern and function of KCC2. Primary mouse hippocampal neuronal cultures from wildtype (WT) and Nbce1-deficient mice, as well as HEK-293 cells stably transfected with KCC2WT, were used. The results show that KCC2 and NBCe1 are interaction partners in the mouse brain. In HEKKCC2 cells, pharmacological inhibition of NBCs with S0859 prevented staurosporine- and 4-aminopyridine (4AP)-induced KCC2 activation. In mature cultures of hippocampal neurons, however, S0859 completely inhibited postsynaptic GABAAR and, thus, could not be used as a tool to investigate the role of NBCs in GABA-dependent neuronal networks. In Nbce1-deficient immature hippocampal neurons, baseline phosphorylation of KCC2 at S940 was downregulated, compared to WT, and exposure to staurosporine failed to reduce pKCC2 S940 and T1007. In Nbce1-deficient mature neurons, baseline levels of pKCC2 S940 and T1007 were upregulated compared to WT, whereas after 4AP treatment, pKCC2 S940 was downregulated, and pKCC2 T1007 was further upregulated. Functional experiments showed that the levels of GABAAR reversal potential, baseline intracellular [Cl-], Cl- extrusion, and baseline intracellular pH were similar between WT and Nbce1-deficient neurons. Altogether, our data provide a primary description of the properties of KCC2/NBCe1 protein-protein interaction and implicate modulation of stimulus-mediated phosphorylation of KCC2 by NBCe1/KCC2 interaction-a mechanism with putative pathophysiological relevance.
