The association between familial distal renal tubular acidosis and mutations in the red cell anion exchanger (band 3, AE1) gene.

In distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) the tubular secretion of hydrogen ion in the distal nephron is impaired, leading to the development of metabolic acidosis, frequently accompanied by hypokalemia, nephrocalcinosis, and metabolic bone disease. The condition can be familial, when it is usually inherited as an autosomal dominant, though there is a rarer autosomal recessive form associated with nerve deafness. It has been shown that the autosomal dominant form of dRTA is associated with a defect in the anion exchanger (AE1) of the renal collecting duct intercalated cell. This transporter is a product of the same gene (AE1) as the erythrocyte anion exchanger, band 3. In this review we will look at the evidence for this association. Studies of genomic DNA from families with this disorder have shown, both by genetic linkage studies and by DNA sequencing, that affected individuals are heterozygous for mutations in the AE1 gene whilst unaffected family members have a normal band 3 sequence. Mutations have been found in the region of proposed helices 6 and 7 of the membrane domain of band 3 and involve amino acids Arg-589 and Ser-613, and in the COOH-terminal domain of band 3. Studies of red cell band 3 from these families have provided information on the effect these mutations have on the structure and function of erythrocyte band 3. Expression studies of the erythroid and kidney isoforms of the mutant AE1 proteins, in Xenopus laevis oocytes, have shown that they retained chloride transport activity, suggesting that the disease in the dRTA families is not related simply to the anion transport activity of the mutated proteins. A possible explanation for the dominant effect of these mutant AE1 proteins in the kidney cell is that these mutations affect the targeting of AE1 from the basolateral to the apical membrane of the alpha-intercalated cell.

Trafficking defects of a novel autosomal recessive distal renal tubular acidosis mutant (S773P) of the human kidney anion exchanger (kAE1).

Autosomal dominant and recessive distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) can be caused by mutations in the anion exchanger 1 (AE1 or SLC4A1) gene, which encodes the erythroid chloride/bicarbonate anion exchanger membrane glycoprotein (eAE1) and a truncated kidney isoform (kAE1). The biosynthesis and trafficking of kAE1 containing a novel recessive missense dRTA mutation (kAE1 S773P) was studied in transiently transfected HEK-293 cells, expressing the mutant alone or in combination with wild-type kAE1 or another recessive mutant, kAE1 G701D. The kAE1 S773P mutant was expressed at a three times lower level than wild-type, had a 2-fold decrease in its half-life, and was targeted for degradation by the proteasome. It could not be detected at the plasma membrane in human embryonic kidney cells and showed predominant endoplasmic reticulum immunolocalization in both human embryonic kidney and LLC-PK1 cells. The oligosaccharide on a kAE1 S773P N-glycosylation mutant (N555) was not processed to the complex form indicating impaired exit from the endoplasmic reticulum. The kAE1 S773P mutant showed decreased binding to an inhibitor affinity resin and increased sensitivity to proteases, suggesting that it was not properly folded. The other recessive dRTA mutant, kAE1 G701D, also exhibited defective trafficking to the plasma membrane. The recessive kAE1 mutants formed dimers like wild-type AE1 and could hetero-oligomerize with wild-type kAE1 or with each other. Hetero-oligomers of wild-type kAE1 with recessive kAE1 S773P or G701D, in contrast to the dominant kAE1 R589H mutant, were delivered to the plasma membrane.

Dominant and recessive distal renal tubular acidosis mutations of kidney anion exchanger 1 induce distinct trafficking defects in MDCK cells.

Distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA), a kidney disease resulting in defective urinary acidification, can be caused by dominant or recessive mutations in the kidney Cl-/HCO3- anion exchanger (kAE1), a glycoprotein expressed in the basolateral membrane of alpha-intercalated cells. We compared the effect of two dominant (R589H and S613F) and two recessive (S773P and G701D) dRTA point mutations on kAE1 trafficking in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) epithelial cells. In contrast to wild-type (WT) kAE1 that was localized to the basolateral membrane, the dominant mutants (kAE1 R589H and S613F) were retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in MDCK cells, with a few cells showing in addition some apical localization. The recessive mutant kAE1 S773P, while misfolded and largely retained in the ER in non-polarized MDCK cells, was targeted to the basolateral membrane after polarization. The other recessive mutants, kAE1 G701D and designed G701E, G701R but not G701A or G701L mutants, were localized to the Golgi in both non-polarized and polarized cells. The results suggest that introduction of a polar mutation into a transmembrane segment resulted in Golgi retention of the recessive G701D mutant. When coexpressed, the dominant mutants retained kAE1 WT intracellularly, while the recessive mutants did not. Coexpression of recessive G701D and S773P mutants in polarized cells showed that these proteins could interact, yet no G701D mutant was detected at the basolateral membrane. Therefore, compound heterozygous patients expressing both recessive mutants (G701D/S773P) likely developed dRTA due to the lack of a functional kAE1 at the basolateral surface of alpha-intercalated cells.

Lipid myopathy associated with renal tubular acidosis and spastic diplegia in two brothers.

Lipid myopathy is a group of disorders involving mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. We describe two brothers, 3 years 8 months old and 2 years 9 months old, respectively, with progressive spastic diplegia, developmental delay, failure to thrive, and chronic metabolic acidosis who had lipid myopathy and renal tubular acidosis. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed demyelinating changes in the periventricular white matter, which was compatible with spastic diplegia. These symptoms may be related to errors in fatty acid metabolism. Cerebral palsy had been misdiagnosed in both of these patients at another hospital. Therefore, for patients with late-onset and progressive spastic diplegia, detailed investigations for underlying diseases are warranted.

Hyperkalemia unresponsive to massive doses of aldosterone in a patient with renal tubular acidosis.

In a 53-year-old male patient aldosterone-refractory hyperkalemia was associated with renal tubular acidosis (RTA) due to chronic interstitial nephritis accompanied by peritubular hyaline deposits in the distal nephron. The hyperkalemia was not caused by an adrenal disorder or acidosis and could not be abolished by diuretics, cortisone, longacting synthetic ACTH, excessive doses of DOCA and aldosterone. The results of our experimental studies carried out on the hyperkalemic RTA patient as well as on various control subjects and patients suggested the presence of a specific defect in renal K excretion associated with a decreased aldosterone responsiveness of the renal tubules presumably due to the peritubular pathology.

Self-limited neonatal familial hyperparathyroidism associated with hypercalciuria and renal tubular acidosis in three siblings.

Three siblings with neonatal familial hyperparathyroidism diagnosed at age 4 months, 2 months, and 5 days, respectively, were treated. Hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis, and renal tubular acidosis were present in each child. In all three, there were higher responses of serum parathyroid hormone to serum calcium and higher elevation of serum calcium with oral calcium loading. The metabolism of vitamin D and calcitonin seemed to be intact. Hypercalcemia associated with the abnormal response of parathyroid hormone secretion disappeared when the children passed the age of approximately 2 years, although renal tubular acidosis and nephrocalcinosis remained. An autosomal recessive inheritance seems likely.
