Three splice variants of the renal
Na-K-Cl cotransporter (NKCC2 F, A, and B) are spatially distributed
along the thick ascending limb of the mammalian kidney. To test
whether NKCC2 splice variants differ in ion transport characteristics
we expressed cDNAs encoding rabbit NKCC2 F, A, and B in
Xenopus oocytes and determined the ion dependence of
bumetanide-sensitive 86Rb influx. The three splice variants
of NKCC2 showed dramatic differences in their kinetic behavior. The
medullary variant F exhibited 3-4-fold lower affinity than variants A
and B for Na+ and K+. Chloride affinities also
markedly distinguish the three variants (KmF = 111.3, KmA = 44.7, and
KmB = 8.9 mM Cl ).
Thus, the kinetic properties of the NKCC2 splice variants are consistent with the spatial distribution of the variants along the
thick ascending limb as they are involved in reabsorbing
Na+, K+, and Cl from a
progressively diluted fluid in the tubule lumen. Variant B also showed
an anomalous inhibition of rubidium influx at high extracellular
Na+ concentrations, possibly important in its highly
specialized role in the macula densa. The adaptation of the kinetic
characteristics of the NKCC2 variants to the luminal concentrations of
substrate represents an excellent example of functional specialization
and diversity that can be achieved through alternative mRNA splicing.
