Two Cl transport proteins, a basolateral Na-K-2Cl (NKCC1) cotransporter and an apical Cl channel designated cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR), act in a highly coordinated manner to mediate salt and water secretion in epithelial cells lining the airways, sweat glands, and salivary glands. In airway epithelial cells, fluid movement into the conducting airways humidifies inspired air, maintains a periciliary fluid layer, hydrates mucus and maintains optimal electrolyte and water homeostasis necessary for optimal mucociliary clearance. Control of electrolyte and fluid secretion is directed at the activity of CFTR and NKCC1 through intracellular signaling mechanisms coupling hormonal and environmental stimuli to the Cl transporter. Our studies demonstrate that NKCC1 expressed in human tracheal epithelial cells and in a Calu-3 airway epithelial cell line is quiescent until activated by 1-adrenergic stimulation through the effector enzyme protein kinase C (PKC). More recent studies using an antisense approach identified PKC-as the PKC isotype required for NKCC1 activation. 1, 2 Secretagogues that elevate cAMP levels rapidly activate CFTR. Although CFTR is regulated primarily by protein kinase A (PKA), PKC stimulates it to a modest extent. We and others have now shown regulation of cAMP-dependent CFTR function by PKC, 3-5 specifically a PKC-isoform. 6 The highly specific signaling of PKC regulation of epithelial Cl transporters at the isotype level points to a fidelity to appropriate extracellular and intracellular signaling pathways associated with protein-protein interactions. In other cells, a molecular network of adapter, anchoring and scaffold proteins maintain kinases and phosphatases in defined subcellular compartments. 7 Indeed, active and inactive PKC isotypes have been localized near their target substrates by binding to anchoring or scaffold proteins. 8-10 In these studies, we examined protein-protein interactions necessary for activation of NKCC1 by PKC-and of CFTR by PKC-.
