| Post Translational Modifications | Autophosphorylated at Ser-331 and Ser-335, promoting its activation. Phosphorylated by WNK1 and WNK3. Phosphorylated at Ser-575 in a MAP3K15/ASK3-dependent process in response to osmotic stress or hypotonic low-chloride stimulation. Ubiquitinated by the BCR(KLHL3) complex, leading to its degradation. Also ubiquitinated by the BCR(KLHL2) complex. |
| Function | Serine/threonine-protein kinase component of the WNK4-SPAK/OSR1 kinase cascade, which acts as a key regulator of ion transport in the distal nephron and blood pressure. The WNK4-SPAK/OSR1 kinase cascade is composed of WNK4, which mediates phosphorylation and activation of downstream kinases OXSR1/OSR1 and STK39/SPAK. Following activation, OXSR1/OSR1 and STK39/SPAK catalyze phosphorylation of ion cotransporters, such as SLC12A1/NKCC2, SLC12A2/NKCC1, SLC12A3/NCC, SLC12A5/KCC2 or SLC12A6/KCC3, regulating their activity. Acts as a molecular switch that regulates the balance between renal salt reabsorption and K(+) secretion by modulating the activities of renal transporters and channels, including the Na-Cl cotransporter SLC12A3/NCC and the K(+) channel, KCNJ1/ROMK. Regulates NaCl reabsorption in the distal nephron by activating the thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransporter SLC12A3/NCC in distal convoluted tubule cells of kidney: activates SLC12A3/NCC in a OXSR1/OSR1- and STK39/SPAK-dependent process. Also acts as a scaffold protein independently of its protein kinase activity: negatively regulates cell membrane localization of various transporters and channels (CFTR, KCNJ1/ROMK, SLC4A4, SLC26A9 and TRPV4) by clathrin-dependent endocytosis. Also inhbits the activity of the epithelial Na(+) channel (ENaC) SCNN1A, SCNN1B, SCNN1D in a inase-independent mechanism. May also phosphorylate NEDD4L. |
