1.A.6.1.3
The epithelial Na+ channel, EnaC5 (involved in fluid and electrolyte homeostasis). The C-terminus of each subunit (α, β, and γ) contains a PPXY motif for interaction with the WW domains of the ubiquitin-protein ligases, Nedd4 and Nedd4-2. Disruption of this interaction, as in Liddle's syndrome where mutations delete or alter the PPXY motif of either the β or γ subunits, has been shown to result in increased ENaC activity and arterial hypertension. N4WBP5A (Nedd4-family interacting protein-2) plays a role (see 8.A.30; Konstas et al., 2002). Wiemuth & Grunder (2010) showed that an unknown ligand, interacting with an amino acyl residue in the extracellular domain, tunes Ca2+ inhibition in the rat protein, but not the mouse orthologue.
