doi: 10.1016/j.jbc.2022.101836
Figure Lengend Snippet: RGS14 suppresses hormone-regulated Pi transport. A , RGS14 inhibits PTH-sensitive and FGF23-sensitive phosphate uptake. Human RPTECs were transfected with empty vector (control) or human RGS14. After 48 h, cells were treated for 2 h with 10 nM PTH(1–34) or 100 nM FGF23. Phosphate uptake was measured as detailed in the section. Data represent n = 6 independent experiments performed in triplicate. ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001 (paired t test). Data were normalized for each experiment, where phosphate uptake under untreated control conditions was defined as 0% inhibition. B , RGS14 forms a ternary complex with NHERF1 and NPT2A. RPTEC cells were transfected with HA-NPT2A, FLAG-NHERF1, and untagged hRGS14 as indicated. The NPT2A–NHERF1–RGS14 ternary complex was identified by serial immunoprecipitation (IP) of HA-NPT2A with agarose-conjugated monoclonal-anti-HA antibody, elution with 2 mg/ml HA peptide, followed by IP of FLAG-NHERF1 with subsequent immunodetection of RGS14. NPT2A was immunoprecipitated with agarose-conjugated monoclonal-anti-HA antibody, elution with 2 mg/ml HA peptide, followed by IP of FLAG-NHERF1 and subsequent detection of Ezrin by immunoblotting ( top three panels ). Input controls for each protein are shown in the bottom three panels (lysate). Duplicate experiments yielded identical results. FGF23, fibroblast growth factor 23; HA, hemagglutinin; NHERF1, sodium hydrogen exchanger regulatory factor-1; NPT2A, sodium phosphate cotransporter 2a; PTH, parathyroid hormone; RGS14, regulator of G protein signaling 14; RPTEC, renal proximal tubule epithelial cell.
