Serumand glucocorticoid- induced kinase- 1 ( SGK1) is involved in aldosterone- induced Na+ reabsorption by increasing epithelial Na+ channel ( ENaC) activity in cortical collecting duct ( CCD) cells, but its exact mechanisms of action are unknown. Although several potential targets such as Nedd4-2 have been described in expression systems, endogenous substrates mediating SGK1' s physiological effects remain to be identified. In addition, subcellular localization studies of SGK1 have provided controversial results. We determined the subcellular location of SGK1 using SGK1- autofluorescent protein ( AFP) fusion proteins. Rabbit CCD ( RCCT- 28A) cells were transiently transfected with a construct encoding for SGK1- AFP and were stained or cotransfected with markers for various subcellular compartments. In live cells, transiently expressed SGK1- AFP clearly colocalized with the mitochondrial marker rhodamine 123. Similarly, SGK1- AFP colocalized with the mitochondrial marker MitoTracker when stably expressed using a retroviral system in either RCCT- 28A cells or the mammary epithelial cell line MCF10A. To determine which region of SGK1 is responsible for this subcellular localization, we generated RCCT- 28A cell lines stably expressing SGK1 mutants. The results indicate that the NH2- terminal 60- amino acid region of SGK1 is necessary and sufficient for its subcellular localization. Localization of SGK1 to the mitochondria raises the possibility that SGK1 may play a role in regulating energy metabolism.
