摘要

Proteases activate the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) by cleaving the large extracellular domains of the alpha- and gamma-subunits and releasing peptides with inhibitory properties. Furin and prostasin activate mouse ENaC by cleaving the gamma-subunit at sites flanking a 43 residue inhibitory tract (gammaE144-K186). To determine whether there is a minimal inhibitory region within this 43 residue tract, we generated serial deletions in the inhibitory tract of the gamma-subunit in channels resistant to cleavage by furin and prostasin. We found that partial or complete deletion of a short segment in the gamma-subunit, R158-N171, enhanced channel activity. Synthetic peptides overlapping this segment in the gamma-subunit further identified a key 11-mer tract, R158-F168 (RFLNLIPLLVF), which inhibited wild-type ENaC expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes, and endogenous channels in mpkCCD cells and human airway epithelia. Further studies with amino acid-substituted peptides defined residues that are required for inhibition in this key 11-mer tract. The presence of the native gamma inhibitory tract in ENaC weakened the intrinsic binding constant of the 11-mer peptide inhibitor, suggesting that the gamma inhibitory tract and the 11-mer peptide interact at overlapping sites within the channel.
