项目摘要

1) Cloning of water channels (AQPs)We cloned the following AQPs ; AQP7 from rat testis that has permeability to glycerol and urea in addition to water, AQP8 from rat testis that is water-selective, AQP9 from human leukocyte that has permeability to urea in addition to water, and AQP9L, a homologue of AQP9, from rat liver.2) Determination of AQP structurea. We identified mercury-sensitive cystein in human AQP3 and showed evidence suggesting that water, glycerol, and urea share a common pore.b. AQP family is divided into two groups ; MIP group that is water-selective and glpF group that is permeable to small molecules. Only the latter group possesses two portions which are composed of about 15 amino acid. We examined the significance of these portions and found the portions are not associated with channel selectivity.c. AQP2 and MIP are highly homologous (58% amino acid homology), whereas the water permeability of AQP2 is much higher than that of MIP. We constructed chimera proteins of AQP2 and MIP and determined several amino acids in transmembrane helix5 is responsible for the high water permeability of AQP.3. Intracellular mechanisms and signal transduction related to urinary concentrationa. A short or a long time exposure to high osmolality decreased the activity of Na-K-ATPase in rat inner medullary collecting duct cells. We found that the mechanism of Na-K-ATPase inhibition was different in the short and long time exposure.b. We investigated signal transduction pathways in LLC-PK1 and mesangial cells and obtained several new findings.4. Pathogenesis of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI)a. We characterized T125M and G175R, AOP2 mutants found in autosomal recessive NDI, and found the decrease of the water channel function of these mutants.b. We characterized 809del 7, and AQP2 mutant found in autosomal dominant NDI, and found that this mutation causes the inhibition of transcription or the defect of protein trafficking.

1)水通道（AQPs）的克隆我们克隆了以下AQPs：来自大鼠睾丸的AQP7，其除了水之外还具有对甘油和尿素的渗透性，来自大鼠睾丸的AQP8，其是水选择性的，来自人白细胞的AQP9，其除了水之外还具有对尿素的渗透性，以及来自大鼠肝脏的AQP9的同源物AQP9L。我们在人类AQP3中鉴定了汞敏感的半胱氨酸，并显示了水，甘油和尿素共享一个共同孔的证据。AQP家族分为两组：水选择性的MIP组和小分子渗透性的glpF组。只有后一组具有由约15个氨基酸组成的两个部分。我们检查了这些部分的重要性，发现这些部分与通道选择性无关。AQP2与MIP具有高度同源性（58%的氨基酸同源性），而AQP2的水渗透性远高于MIP。我们构建了AQP2和MIP的嵌合蛋白，并确定了跨膜螺旋5中的几个氨基酸是导致AQP2高透水性的原因.与尿浓度相关的细胞内机制和信号转导。短时间或长时间的高渗暴露均使大鼠内髓集合管细胞Na K ATP酶活性降低。结果表明，在短时间和长时间培养条件下，Na-K-ATPase的抑制机制不同。我们研究了LLC-PK1和系膜细胞的信号转导通路，获得了一些新的发现.肾源性尿崩症（NDI）的发病机制a.我们对常染色体隐性遗传NDI中发现的T125M和G175R、AOP2突变体进行了表征，发现这些突变体的水通道功能下降。我们对常染色体显性遗传NDI中发现的809del 7和AQP2突变体进行了鉴定，发现该突变导致转录抑制或蛋白运输缺陷。
