      Alternate Names
      • WNK lysine deficient protein kinase 4
      • protein kinase, lysine deficient 4
      • Protein kinase with no lysine 4
      • serine/threonine-protein kinase WNK4
      • Protein kinase lysine-deficient 4
      Background InformationWNK4 is a serine-threonine protein kinase that is commonly expressed in the distal nephron. Mutations in WNK1 and WNK4 cause pseudohypoaldosteronism type II, which causes hypertension, hyperkalemia, hyperchloremia and metabolic acidosis. WNK4 has been shown to decrease Na-Cl cotransporter activity and the potassium channel by removing it from the cell surface. It is thought that activating WNK4 inhibits the activity of WNK1. WNK4 has been shown to play a role in regulating blood pressure in addition to potassium homeostasis.

      Entrez Gene Number
      Entrez Gene SummaryThis gene encodes a member of the WNK family of serine-threonine protein kinases. The kinase is part of the tight junction complex in kidney cells, and regulates the balance between NaCl reabsorption and K(+) secretion. The kinase regulates the activities of several types of ion channels, cotransporters, and exchangers involved in electrolyte flux in epithelial cells. Mutations in this gene result in pseudohypoaldosteronism type IIB.

      UniProt Number
      UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: Regulates the activity of the thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransporter, SLC12A3, by phosphorylation which appears to prevent membrane trafficking of SLC12A3. Also inhibits the renal K+ channel, KCNJ1, via a kinase-independent mechanism by which it induces clearance of the protein from the cell surface by clathrin-dependent endocytosis. WNK4 appears to act as a molecular switch that can vary the balance between NaCl reabsorption and K+ secretion to maintain integrated homeostasis (By similarity). UniProtKB Q80UE6

      CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.

      COFACTOR: Magnesium (By similarity). UniProtKB Q9H4A3

      ENZYME REGULATION: Activation requires autophosphorylation of Ser-335. Phosphorylation of Ser-331 also promotes increased activity (By similarity). UniProtKB Q9JIH7

      SUBUNIT STRUCTURE: Interacts with the C-terminal region of KCNJ1 By similarity. UniProtKB Q80UE6

      SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell junction › tight junction (By similarity). Note: Present exclusively in intercellular junctions in the distal convoluted tubule and in both the cytoplasm and intercellular junctions in the cortical collecting duct. WNK4 is part of the tight junction complex (By similarity).

      TISSUE SPECIFICTY: Expressed in kidney, colon and skin. Ref.4

      INVOLVEMENT IN DISEASE: Defects in WNK4 are a cause of pseudohypoaldosteronism type II (PHAII) [MIM:145260]. PHAII is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by severe hypertension, hyperkalemia, and sensitivity to thiazide diuretics which may result from a chloride shunt in the renal distal nephron.

      SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES: Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. WNK subfamily.

      Contains 1 protein kinase domain.

      CAUTION: Cys-203 is present instead of the conserved Lys which is expected to be an active site residue. Lys-186 appears to fulfill the required catalytic function. UniProtKB Q9JIH7

      SEQUENCE CUTION: The sequence BAC04669.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.

      The sequence CAC48387.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at position 4.
      Molecular Weight~150 kDa observed. .This protein has 3 isoforms produced by alternative splicing with molecular weights of 134, 73 & 126. Hengl, T., et al. (2010). PNAS. 107(13):6052–6057.
