Identification of Murr1 as a regulator of the human delta epithelial sodium channel
epithelial sodium channel (
ENaC) subunit is related to the
,
, and
ENaC subunits that control salt homeostasis.
ENaC forms an amiloride-sensitive Na+ channel with the
and
subunits. However, the in vivo function of
ENaC is not known. To gain insight into the function of
ENaC a yeast two hybrid screen of a human brain cDNA library was carried out using the C- and N-terminal domains of
ENaC. A novel
ENaC interactin g protein called Murr1 was isolated in the C-terminal domain screen. Murr1 is a 21 kDa protein mutated in Bedlington terriers suffering from copper toxicosis. The interaction of Murr1 and
ENaC was confirmed by glutathione S-transferase pull down a s say and coimmunoprecipitation. To test the functional significance of the interaction, Murr1 was coexpressed with 

ENaC in Xenopus oocytes. Murr1 inhibited amiloride-sensitive sodium current in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, dele tion of the last 59 amino acids of
ENaC abolished the inhibition. Murr1 also bound to the
and
ENaC subunits and inhibited 

ENaC sodium current. Therefore, these results suggest that Murr1 is a novel regulator of ENaC..p
