    Abstract:
    Aquaporin-2 (AQP2) water channels are proteins that are recycled between intracellular vesicles and the apical plasma membrane in renal collecting ducts. Lipopolysaccharide-responsive beige-like anchor protein (LRBA) is a protein kinase A (PKA) anchoring protein that creates compartmentalized PKA signalling responsible for AQP2 phosphorylation. In response to increased plasma osmolality, vasopressin/cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)/PKA signalling phosphorylates AQP2, promoting AQP2 trafficking into the apical plasma membrane and increasing water reabsorption from urine. However, the molecular mechanisms by which LRBA mediates vasopressin-induced AQP2 phosphorylation remain unknown. To investigate AQP2 intracellular localization and phosphorylation status in vivo, a density gradient ultracentrifugation technique was combined with an in situ proximity ligation assay, super-resolution structured illumination microscopy and immunoelectron microscopy. Most of the AQP2 was localized on the recycling endosome in the presence of tolvaptan, a vasopressin type 2 receptor (V2R) antagonist. Desmopressin, a V2R agonist, phosphorylated AQP2, translocating it from the recycling endosome to the apical plasma membrane. In contrast, LRBA was constitutively localized at the recycling endosome. Therefore, LRBA and AQP2 were well colocalized in the absence of vasopressin stimulation. The loss of LRBA/PKA signalling by Lrba knockout impaired vasopressin-induced AQP2 phosphorylation, resulting in AQP2 retention at the recycling endosome. Defective AQP2 trafficking caused low urinary concentrating ability in Lrba-/- mice. The LRBA-PKA complex created compartmentalized PKA signalling at the recycling endosome, which facilitated AQP2 phosphorylation in response to vasopressin. KEY POINTS: Membrane proteins are continuously internalized into the endosomal system via endocytosis, after which they are either recycled back to the plasma membrane or degraded at the lysosome. In T cells, lipopolysaccharide-responsive beige-like anchor protein (LRBA) binds directly to the cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4), a checkpoint immune molecule, to prevent CTLA-4 lysosomal degradation and promote its vesicle recycling. LRBA has different physiological functions in renal collecting ducts. LRBA and aquaporin-2 (AQP2) water channels were colocalized on the recycling endosome in vivo in the absence of the anti-diuretic hormone vasopressin. LRBA promoted vasopressin-induced AQP2 trafficking, increasing water reabsorption from urine via AQP2. LRBA determined renal responsiveness to vasopressin at recycling endosomes. LRBA is a ubiquitously expressed anchor protein. LRBA signalosomes might regulate membrane trafficking of several constitutively recycled proteins at recycling endosomes.
