NHERF1 overexpression increases functional apical expression of F508del CFTR in CFBE41o- cells. Here, we show that this occurs via the formation of the multiprotein complex NHERF1-phosphoezrin-actin, which provides a regulated linkage between F508del CFTR and the actin cytoskeleton resulting in an increased F508del CFTR stability in the membrane.

Adenosine is an autacoid that regulates renal Na

This paper provides the interested reader with a concise overview of NHE physiology, and aims to address the implication of NHEs in the pathophysiology of hypertension and organ ischemia in light of the most recent literature.

We postulate the following: (1) DA modifies NHE-3 phosphorylation by activating PKA through DA1 and by other kinases/phosphatases via DA2. (2) DA1 is sufficient to inhibit NHE-3, while DA2 is insufficient but plays a synergistic role by altering NHE-3 phosphorylation.
