Membrane topology of the epithelial sodium channel in intact cells

Abstract
The highly selective amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium channel is formed of three homologous subunits termed alpha-, beta-, and gamma-rENaC. Each subunit has two putative transmembrane domains (M1 and M2), yielding a protein with a large (approximately 50 kDa) hydrophilic loop (between M1 and M2) and short hydrophilic NH2- and COOH-termini (9 and 10 kDa). All three subunits are glycosylated in a cell-free translation assay, demonstrating that they share in vitro a common pattern of membrane insertion. The membrane topology of the alpha-rENaC subunit in intact cells was studied in Xenopus laevis oocytes. We demonstrate that 1) all six potential N-linked glycosylation sites (N190, N259, N320, N339, N424, and N538) of the large hydrophilic loop are used in intact cells; 2) the glycosylation of alpha-rENaC does not play a significant role in the functional expression of the channel; and 3) the two hydrophobic domains M1 (A109-F131) and M2 (S588-L612) serve in intact cells as start- and stop-transfer signals, respectively. We conclude that alpha-rENaC spans the membrane twice with the short NH2- and COOH-terminal ends on the cytoplasmic side and a large hydrophilic loop in the extracellular space.
