Abstract

Liddle’s syndrome is an autosomal dominant form of salt sensitive hypertension caused by mutations in the ß or subunit of the epithelial sodium channel. Systemic mutagenesis studies revealed that a conserved PPPXY sequence (PY motif) of the C-terminus of the , ß, or subunits might be involved in the regulation of the channel activity. However, only two missense mutations in the PY motif of the ß subunit have been reported to cause Liddle’s syndrome. We sequenced the C-termini of the ß and subunits of the epithelial sodium channel in a Japanese family clinically diagnosed as having Liddle’s syndrome and found a new missense mutation in the PY motif of the ß subunit, P615S. Expression studies with P615S mutant in Xenopus oocytes resulted in an about 3-fold increase in the amiloride-sensitive sodium current compared to the wild type (p = 0.001). These findings provide further clinical evidence for the hypothesis that a conserved PY motif may be critically important for the regulation of the epithelial sodium channel.
