چکیده

Abstract Having previously found that high NaCl causes rapid exit of 14-3-3 isoforms from the nucleus, we used siRNA-mediated knockdown to test whether 14-3-3s contribute to the high NaCl-induced increase in the activity of the osmoprotective transcription factor NFAT5. We find that, when NaCl is elevated, knockdown of 14-3-3-β and/or 14-3-3-ε decreases NFAT5 transcriptional activity, as assayed both by luciferase reporter and by the mRNA abundance of the NFAT5 target genes aldose reductase and the sodium- and chloride-dependent betaine transporter, BGT1. Knockdown of other 14-3-3 isoforms does not significantly affect NFAT5 activity. 14-3-3-β and/or 14-3-3-ε do not act by affecting the nuclear localization of NFAT5, but by at least two other mechanisms: (1) 14-3-3-β and 14-3-3-ε increase protein abundance of NFAT5 and (2) they increase NFAT5 transactivating activity. When NaCl is elevated, knockdown of 14-3-3-β and/or 14-3-3-ε reduces the protein abundance of NFAT5, as measured by Western blot, without affecting the level of NFAT5 mRNA, and the knockdown also decreases NFAT5 transactivating activity, as measured by luciferase reporter. The 14-3-3s increase NFAT5 protein, not by increasing its translation, but by decreasing the rate at which it is degraded, as measured by cycloheximide chase. It is not clear at this point whether the 14-3-3s affect NFAT5 directly or indirectly through their effects on other proteins that signal activation of NFAT5.

High NaCl–induced activation of CDK5 increases phosphorylation of the osmoprotective transcription factor TonEBP/OREBP at threonine 135, which contributes to its rapid nuclear localization

When activated by high NaCl, tonicity-responsive enhancer-binding protein/osmotic response element-binding protein (TonEBP/OREBP) increases transcription of osmoprotective genes. High NaCl activates TonEBP/OREBP by increasing its phosphorylation, nuclear localization, and transactivating activity. In HEK293 cells, mass spectrometry shows phosphorylation of TonEBP/OREBP-S120, -S134, -T135, and -...

Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species contribute to high NaCl-induced activation of the transcription factor TonEBP/OREBP.

Hypertonicity activates the transcription factor tonicity-responsive enhancer/osmotic response element binding protein (TonEBP/OREBP), resulting in increased expression of genes involved in osmoprotective accumulation of organic osmolytes, including glycine betaine, and in increased expression of osmoprotective heat shock proteins. Our previous studies showed that high NaCl increases reactive o...

Inhibitory phosphorylation of GSK-3β by AKT, PKA, and PI3K contributes to high NaCl-induced activation of the transcription factor NFAT5 (TonEBP/OREBP).

High NaCl activates the transcription factor nuclear factor of activated T cells 5 (NFAT5), leading to increased transcription of osmoprotective target genes. Kinases PKA, PI3K, AKT1, and p38α were known to contribute to the high NaCl-induced increase of NFAT5 activity. We now identify another kinase, GSK-3β. siRNA-mediated knock-down of GSK-3β increases NFAT5 transcriptional and transactivatin...

Mediator of DNA Damage Checkpoint 1 (MDC1) Contributes to High NaCl-Induced Activation of the Osmoprotective Transcription Factor TonEBP/OREBP

BACKGROUND Hypertonicity, such as induced by high NaCl, increases the activity of the transcription factor TonEBP/OREBP whose target genes increase osmoprotective organic osmolytes and heat shock proteins. METHODOLOGY We used mass spectrometry to analyze proteins that coimmunoprecipitate with TonEBP/OREBP in order to identify ones that might contribute to its high NaCl-induced activation. P...

Regulation of tonicity-dependent activation of NFAT5 by mitogen-activated protein kinases

Various tissues, most notably the kidney medulla, are normally exposed to a hypertonic environment. The transcription factor NFAT5 is essential for these tissues to survive and function properly by activating expression of the osmoprotective genes and genes that are unique for the functions of these tissues. Moreover, hypertonicity causes or is associated with certain diseases and disorders suc...
