Aquaporin-2 (AQP2) is a vasopressin-regulated water channel protein responsible for osmotic water reabsorption by kidney collecting ducts. In response to vasopressin, AQP2 traffics from intracellular vesicles to the apical plasma membrane of collecting duct principal cells, where it increases water permeability and, hence, water reabsorption. Despite continuing efforts, gaps remain in our knowledge of vasopressin-regulated AQP2 trafficking. Here, we studied the functions of two retromer complex proteins, small GTPase Rab7 and vacuolar protein sorting 35 (Vps35), in vasopressin-induced AQP2 trafficking in a collecting duct cell model (mpkCCD cells). We showed that upon vasopressin removal, apical AQP2 returned to Rab5-positive early endosomes before joining Rab11-positive recycling endosomes. In response to vasopressin, Rab11-associated AQP2 trafficked to the apical plasma membrane before Rab5-associated AQP2 did so. Rab7 knockdown resulted in AQP2 accumulation in early endosomes and impaired vasopressin-induced apical AQP2 trafficking. In response to vasopressin, Rab7 transiently colocalized with Rab5, indicative of a role of Rab7 in AQP2 sorting in early endosomes before trafficking to the apical membrane. Rab7-mediated apical AQP2 trafficking in response to vasopressin required GTPase activity. When Vps35 was knocked down, AQP2 accumulated in recycling endosomes under vehicle conditions and did not traffic to the apical plasma membrane in response to vasopressin. We conclude that Rab7 and Vps35 participate in AQP2 sorting in early endosomes under vehicle conditions and apical membrane trafficking in response to vasopressin.

Vacuolar Protein

Aquaporin-2 (AQP2) is a vasopressin-regulated water channel protein responsible for water reabsorption by the kidney collecting ducts. Under control conditions, most AQP2 resides in the recycling endosomes of principal cells, where it answers to vasopressin with trafficking to the apical plasma membrane to increase water reabsorption. Upon vasopressin withdrawal, apical AQP2 retreats to the early endosomes before joining the recycling endosomes for the next vasopressin stimulation. Prior studies have demonstrated a role of AQP2 S269 phosphorylation in reducing AQP2 endocytosis, thereby prolonging apical AQP2 retention. Here, we studied where in the cells S269 was phosphorylated and dephosphorylated in response to vasopressin versus withdrawal. In mpkCCD collecting cells, vacuolar protein sorting 35 knockdown slowed vasopressin-induced apical AQP2 trafficking, resulting in AQP2 accumulation in the recycling endosomes where S269 was phosphorylated. Rab7 knockdown, which impaired AQP2 trafficking from the early to recycling endosomes, reduced vasopressin-induced S269 phosphorylation. Rab5 knockdown, which impaired AQP2 endocytosis, did not affect vasopressin-induced S269 phosphorylation. Upon vasopressin withdrawal, S269 was not dephosphorylated in Rab5 knockdown cells. In contrast, S269 dephosphorylation upon vasopressin withdrawal was completed in Rab7 or vacuolar protein sorting 35 knockdown cells. We conclude that S269 is dephosphorylated during Rab5-mediated AQP2 endocytosis before AQP2 joins the recycling endosomes upon vasopressin withdrawal. While in the recycling endosomes, AQP2 can be phosphorylated at S269 in response to vasopressin before apical trafficking.

Extracellular nucleotides regulate NaCl transport in some epithelia. However, the effects of nucleotide agonists on NaCl transport in the renal inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) are not known. The objective of this study was to determine whether ATP and related nucleotides regulate NaCl transport across mouse IMCD cell line (mIMCD-K2) epithelial monolayers and, if so, via what purinergic receptor subtypes. ATP and UTP inhibited Na+ absorption [measured via Na+ short-circuit current[Formula: see text])] and stimulated Cl− secretion [measured via Cl−short-circuit current ([Formula: see text])]. Using selective P2 agonists, we report that P2X and P2Y purinoceptors regulate [Formula: see text] and[Formula: see text]. By RT-PCR, two P2X receptor channels (P2X3, P2X4) and two P2Y G protein-coupled receptors (P2Y1, P2Y2) were identified. Functional localization of P2 purinoceptors suggest that [Formula: see text] is stimulated by apical membrane-resident P2Y purinoceptors and P2X receptor channels, whereas[Formula: see text] is inhibited by apical membrane-resident P2Y purinoceptors and P2X receptor channels. Together, we conclude that nucleotide agonists inhibit[Formula: see text] across mIMCD-K2 monolayers through interactions with P2X and P2Y purinoceptors expressed on the apical plasma membrane, whereas extracellular nucleotides stimulate [Formula: see text]through interactions with P2X and P2Y purinoceptors expressed on the apical plasma membrane.

Early Endosomes

Cell attachment to the extracellular matrix (ECM) requires a balance between integrin internalization and recycling to the surface that is mediated by numerous proteins, emphasizing the complexity of these processes. Upon ligand binding in various cells, the β1 integrin is internalized, traffics to early endosomes, and is returned to the plasma membrane through recycling endosomes. This trafficking process depends on the cyclical activation and inactivation of small guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases) by their specific guanine exchange factors (GEFs) and their GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs). In this study, we found that the cell surface antigen CD13, a multifunctional transmembrane molecule that regulates cell-cell adhesion and receptor-mediated endocytosis, also promoted cell migration and colocalized with β1 integrin at sites of cell adhesion and at the leading edge. A lack of CD13 resulted in aberrant trafficking of internalized β1 integrin to late endosomes and its ultimate degradation. Our data indicate that CD13 promoted ARF6 GTPase activity by positioning the ARF6-GEF EFA6 at the cell membrane. In migrating cells, a complex containing phosphorylated CD13, IQGAP1, GTP-bound (active) ARF6, and EFA6 at the leading edge promoted the ARF6 GTPase cycling and cell migration. Together, our findings uncover a role for CD13 in the fundamental cellular processes of receptor recycling, regulation of small GTPase activities, cell-ECM interactions, and cell migration.

Aquaporin 2

In mammals, conservation of body water is critical for survival and is dependent on the kidneys’ ability to minimize water loss in the urine during periods of water deprivation. The collecting duct water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2) plays an essential role in this homeostatic response by facilitating water reabsorption along osmotic gradients. The ability to increase the levels of AQP2 in the apical plasma membrane following an increase in plasma osmolality is a rate-limiting step in water reabsorption, a process that is tightly regulated by the antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP). In this review, the focus is on the role of the carboxyl-terminus of AQP2 as a key regulatory point for AQP2 trafficking. We provide an overview of AQP2 structure, disease-causing mutations in the AQP2 carboxyl-terminus, the role of posttranslational modifications such as phosphorylation and ubiquitylation in the tail domain, and their implications for balanced trafficking of AQP2. Finally, we discuss how various modifications of the AQP2 tail facilitate selective protein-protein interactions that modulate the AQP2 trafficking mechanism.

Early Endosomes

Endocytic vesicles that are involved in the vasopressin-stimulated recycling of water channels to and from the apical membrane of kidney collecting duct principal cells were isolated from rat renal papilla by differential and Percoll density gradient centrifugation. Fluorescence quenching measurements showed that the isolated vesicles maintained a high, HgCl2-sensitive water permeability, consistent with the presence of vasopressin-sensitive water channels. They did not, however, exhibit ATP-dependent luminal acidification, nor any N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive ATPase activity, properties that are characteristic of most acidic endosomal compartments. Western blotting with specific antibodies showed that the 31- and 70-kD cytoplasmically oriented subunits of the vacuolar proton pump were not detectable in these apical endosomes from the papilla, whereas they were present in endosomes prepared in parallel from the cortex. In contrast, the 56-kD subunit of the proton pump was abundant in papillary endosomes, and was localized at the apical pole of principal cells by immunocytochemistry. Finally, an antibody that recognizes the 16-kD transmembrane subunit of oat tonoplast ATPase cross-reacted with a distinct 16-kD band in cortical endosomes, but no 16-kD band was detectable in endosomes from the papilla. This antibody also recognized a 16-kD band in affinity-purified H+ ATPase preparations from bovine kidney medulla. Therefore, early endosomes derived from the apical plasma membrane of collecting duct principal cells fail to acidify because they lack functionally important subunits of a vacuolar-type proton pumping ATPase, including the 16-kD transmembrane domain that serves as the proton-conducting channel, and the 70-kD cytoplasmic subunit that contains the ATPase catalytic site. This specialized, non-acidic early endosomal compartment appears to be involved primarily in the hormonally induced recycling of water channels to and from the apical plasma membrane of vasopressin-sensitive cells in the kidney collecting duct.

Membrane Composition

The plasma membrane composition of virtually all eucaryotic cells is established, maintained, and modified by the process of membrane recycling. Specific plasma membrane components are inserted by exocytosis of transport vesicles, and are removed by endocytosis of segments of the membrane in which particular proteins are concentrated. In the kidney collecting duct, vasopressin induces the cycling of vesicles that are thought to carry water channels to and from the apical plasma membrane of principal cells, thus modulating the water permeability of this membrane. In the intercalated cells of the collecting duct, hydrogen ion secretion is controlled by the recycling of vesicles carrying proton pumps to and from the plasma membrane. In both cell types, "coated" carrier vesicles are involved, but whereas clathrin-coated vesicles participate in water channel recycling, the vesicles in intercalated cells are coated with the cytoplasmic domains of proton pumps. Following a brief outline of membrane recycling in general, this review summarizes previous data on membrane recycling in the collecting duct and related transporting epithelia and discusses some selected points relating to the role of membrane recycling and cell-specific function in the collecting duct.

Proper targeting of the aquaporin-2 (AQP2) water channel to the collecting duct apical plasma membrane is critical for the urine concentrating mechanism and body water homeostasis. However, the trafficking mechanisms that recruit AQP2 to the plasma membrane are still unclear. Snapin is emerging as an important mediator in the initial interaction of trafficked proteins with target soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein (SNAP) receptor (t-SNARE) proteins, and this interaction is functionally important for AQP2 regulation. We show that in AQP2-Madin-Darby canine kidney cells subjected to adenoviral-mediated expression of both snapin and syntaxins, the association of AQP2 with both syntaxin-3 and syntaxin-4 is highly enhanced by the presence of snapin. In pull-down studies, snapin detected AQP2, syntaxin-3, syntaxin-4, and SNAP23 from the inner medullary collecting duct. AQP2 transport activity, as probed by AQP2's urea permeability, was greatly enhanced in oocytes that were coinjected with cRNAs of SNARE components (snapin+syntaxin-3+SNAP23) over those injected with AQP2 cRNA alone. It was not enhanced when syntaxin-3 was replaced by syntaxin-4 (snapin+syntaxin-4+SNAP23). On the other hand, the latter combination significantly enhanced the transport activity of the related AQP3 water channel while the presence of syntaxin-3 did not. This AQP-syntaxin interaction agrees with the polarity of these proteins' expression in the inner medullary collecting duct epithelium. Thus our findings suggest a selectivity of interactions between different aquaporin and syntaxin isoforms, and thus in the regulation of AQP2 and AQP3 activities in the plasma membrane. Snapin plays an important role as a linker between the water channel and the t-SNARE complex, leading to the fusion event, and the pairing with specific t-SNAREs is essential for the specificity of membrane recognition and fusion.

This review focuses on events at the apical plasma membrane of toad urinary bladder and mammalian collecting duct as their permeability to water changes in response to antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and to its withdrawal. The major marker of the permeability change is observed in freeze-fracture electron microscopy of the apical plasma membrane and consists of a dramatic increase in membrane particle aggregates and, in toad bladder but not in collecting duct, in fused vesicles (aggrephores) that contain particle aggregates in their limiting membranes. Withdrawal of ADH is accompanied by endocytosis at the apical membrane, reflecting retrieval of water-permeable, particle aggregate-containing membrane. Covalent labeling of the external surface of the apical membrane of toad bladder identifies specific proteins that are present in the apical membrane only during the response to ADH. Proteins of the same molecular weights are also present in the retrieved membrane when ADH is withdrawn. Several controversial areas are considered, including the extent of cell swelling as water flows across the epithelium from dilute apical solution to isotonic basal solution, whether only principal cells or principal cells and intercalated cells participate in the water permeability response of the collecting duct, the role of the cytoskeleton in the water permeability response, and the proposed second water permeability barrier that is affected by ADH, but not by adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate.

Aquaporin 2

Aquaporin 2 (AQP2), the vasopressin-regulated water channel, was originally identified in renal collecting duct principal cells. However, our recent description of AQP2 in the vas deferens indicated that this water channel may have extra-renal functions, possibly related to sperm concentration in the male reproductive tract. In this study, we have examined the regulation and membrane insertion pathway of AQP2 in the vas deferens. The amino acid sequence of vas deferens AQP2 showed 100% identity to the renal protein. AQP2 was highly expressed in the distal portion (ampulla) of the vas deferens, but not in the proximal portion nearest the epididymis. It was concentrated on the apical plasma membrane of vas deferens principal cells, and very little was detected on intracellular vesicles. Protein expression levels and cellular localization patterns were similar in normal rats and vasopressin-deficient Brattleboro homozygous rats, and were not changed after 36 h of dehydration, or after 3 days of vasopressin infusion into Brattleboro rats. AQP2 was not found in apical endosomes (labeled with Texas Red-dextran) in vas deferens principal cells, indicating that it is not rapidly recycling in this tissue. Finally, vasopressin receptors were not detectable on vas deferens epithelial cell membranes using a [3H]vasopressin binding assay. These data indicate that AQP2 is a constitutive apical membrane protein in the vas deferens, and that it is not vasopressin-regulated in this tissue. Thus AQP2 contains targeting information that can be interpreted in a cell-type-specific fashion in vivo.

Regulated vesicle exocytosis is a key response to extracellular stimuli in diverse physiological processes; including hormone regulated short-term urine concentration. In the renal collecting duct, the water channel aquaporin-2 localizes to the apical plasma membrane as well as small, sub-apical vesicles. In response to stimulation with the antidiuretic hormone, arginine vasopressin, aquaporin-2 containing vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane, which increases collecting duct water reabsorption and thus, urine concentration. The nano-scale size of these vesicles has limited analysis of their 3D organization. Using a cell system combined with 3D super resolution microscopy, we provide the first direct analysis of the 3D network of aquaporin-2 containing exocytic vesicles in a cell culture system. We show that aquaporin-2 vesicles are 43 ± 3nm in diameter, a size similar to synaptic vesicles, and that one fraction of AQP2 vesicles localized with the sub-cortical F-actin layer and the other localized in between the F-actin layer and the plasma membrane. Aquaporin-2 vesicles associated with F-actin and this association was enhanced in a serine 256 phospho-mimic of aquaporin-2, whose phosphorylation is a key event in antidiuretic hormone-mediated aquaporin-2 vesicle exocytosis.
