Background

WNK4 (protein kinase with no lysine 4) is a novel serine/threonine kinase which plays critical role in regulation of electrolyte homeostasis, signal transduction, survival and proliferation. WNK4 is highly expressed in kidney, colon and skin where it forms a part of tight junction complex and interacts with/activate several proteins including SCNN1A, SCNN1B, SCNN1D, SGK1, TRPV5, NEDD4L and TRPV6. It control SLC12A3 (thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransporter) activity by phosphorylation process that prevents membrane trafficking of SLC12A3. WNK4 inhibits KCNJ1 (renal K+ channel) via a kinase-independent action leading to induction of protein clearance from the cell surface by clathrin-dependent endocytosis. WNK4 acts as a molecular switch that controls NaCl reabsorption and K+ secretion for maintaining integrated homeostasis. Autophosphorylation of Ser-335 is essential for WNK4's activity whereas phosphorylation of Ser-331 also increase its activity. Mutations of WNK4 can cause pseudohypoaldosteronism type alpha (PHA alpha), an autosomal dominant disease characterized by hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis and hypertension.
