Regulation of NHE3 activity by G protein subunits in renal brush-border membranes.

TLDR
Evidence is provided of a direct regulatory role for G(s)alpha, independent of second messengers, in the D(1)-like-mediated inhibition of NHE3 activity in rat renal BBMV and beta/gamma dimers of heterotrimeric G proteins appear to have a stimulatory effect on NHE2 activity in B BMV.
Abstract
NHE3 activity is regulated by phosphorylation/dephosphorylation processes and membrane recycling in intact cells. However, the Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE) can also be regulated by G proteins independent...

Regulatory Binding Partners and Complexes of NHE3

TL;DR: This review deals with short-term regulation of NHE3 and the identity and function of its recognized interacting partners and the multiprotein complexes in which NHE2 functions.

Renal Dopamine System: Paracrine Regulator of Sodium Homeostasis and Blood Pressure

TL;DR: In experimental and human hypertension, 2 renal dopaminergic defects have been described: decreased renal generation of dopamine and a D 1 receptor-G protein coupling defect, which lead to renal sodium retention, and each may play an important role in the pathophysiology of essential hypertension.

Functional genomics of the dopaminergic system in hypertension

TL;DR: The presence of three or more GRK4 variants impairs the natriuretic response to dopaminergic stimulation in humans and in genetically hypertensive rats, renal inhibition ofGRK4 expression ameliorates the hypertension.

Perturbation of D1 Dopamine and AT1 Receptor Interaction in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats

TL;DR: Differential regulation of the expression of D1 and AT1 receptors in RPT cells from WKY and SHR is shown and D1/AT1 receptor interaction are different in R PT cells of W KY andSHR, suggesting an altered interaction of D2 dopamine and AT2 receptors may play a role in the impaired sodium excretion and enhanced vasoconstriction in hypertension.

Amiloride and its analogs as tools in the study of ion transport.

TL;DR: The use of amiloride and its analogs in the study of ion transport requires a knowledge of the pharmacology of inhibition of transport proteins, as well as effects on enzymes, receptors, and other cellular processes, such as DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis, and cellular metabolism.

Type-Specific Regulation of Adenylyl Cyclase by G Protein βγ Subunits

TL;DR: G protein beta gamma subunits have been found to have regulatory effects on certain types of adenylyl cyclase, and interactions suggest mechanisms for communication between distinct signal-transducing pathways.

Selectivity in signal transduction determined by gamma subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins

TL;DR: Particular alpha and beta subunit subtypes participate in the signal transduction processes between somatostatin or muscarinic receptors and the voltage-sensitive L-type calcium channel in rat pituitary GH3 cells.

Expression of NHE-3 in the apical membrane of rat renal proximal tubule and thick ascending limb

TL;DR: NHE-3 is the isoform responsible for NaCl and NaHCO3 absorption in the proximal convoluted tubule, and NahCO absorption in a thick ascending limb and apical membrane Na/H exchange activity is likely mediated by other isoform of the NHE family.
