Recombinant Mouse Serine/threonine-protein kinase WNK1 (Wnk1), partial

1. GABAAR-dependent regulation of KCC2 diffusion involves phosphorylation of its T906/T1007 residues by WNK1. PMID: 29176664
2. The differential regulation of ROMK, large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (BK) channel, BK-alpha and NKCC2 between female and male mice, at least, were partly mediated via WNK1 pathway, which may contribute to the sexual dimorphism of plasma K(+) and blood pressure control. PMID: 28237360
3. this study identified the WNK1 kinase as a regulator of both integrin-mediated adhesion and T cell migration PMID: 27400149
4. Akt3 constitutively suppresses macropinocytosis in macrophages through a novel WNK1/SGK1/Cdc42 pathway. PMID: 28389565
5. Electrophysiological analysis showed that WNK1/HSN2 shifted the concentration of Cl(-)such that GABA signaling resulted in a less hyperpolarized state (increased neuronal activity) rather than a more hyperpolarized state (decreased neuronal activity) in mouse spinal nerves. PMID: 27025876
6. A high-K(+) diet induced an increase in L-WNK1 expression selectively in intercalated cells and may contribute to enhanced BK channel expression and K(+) secretion in collecting ducts. PMID: 26662201
7. these data provide insight into the mechanism regulating Cl(-) homeostasis in immature neurons, and suggest that WNK1-regulated changes in KCC2 phosphorylation contribute to the developmental excitatory-to-inhibitory GABA sequence. PMID: 26126716
8. findings indicate that the proline-rich exons are modular cassettes that convert WNK1 into a NEDD4-2 substrate, thereby linking aldosterone and other NEDD4-2-suppressing antinatriuretic hormones to NCC phosphorylation status. PMID: 26241057
9. enhances BK channel function by reducing ERK1/2 signaling-mediated lysosomal degradation of the channel PMID: 25145935
10. study identifies a separation of functions for the WNK1-activated protein kinases OSR1 and SPAK in mediating proliferation, invasion, and gene expression in endothelial cells PMID: 25362046
11. Results show that the expression profiles of Wnk1 isoforms change during the development, and that the expression of the Wnk1 splice variant containing the Hsn2 exon is prominent during developing and in adult mouse tissues. PMID: 23451271
12. subset of integral membrane proteins, therefore, requires an early dislocation event to expose part of their luminal domain to the cytosol, before HRD1-mediated polyubiquitination and dislocation PMID: 23940364
13. In Wnk1 knockout mice, levels of Lhx8 expression were reduced, inhibiting neural specification. PMID: 23383144
14. WNK1 activation of the OSR1 signaling cascade is an essential pathway that regulates angiogenesis and cardiac formation during mouse embryo development. PMID: 23386621
15. The findings supported the notion that WNK1 stimulates renal outer medullary potassium channel-mediated K+ secretion, but not flow-dependent K+ secretion mediated by maxi-K+ channels in cortical collecting ducts. PMID: 23195681
16. The contribution of WNK1 to total WNK kinase activity in the kidney may be small, but that WNK1 may play a substantial role in the regulation of blood pressure in the arteries. PMID: 22294159
17. The results evidenced a striking tissue-specific distribution of the different isoforms and the unexpected presence of exon HSN2 in many tissues other than the nervous system. PMID: 22701532
18. Findings uncover a vascular signaling pathway linking alpha(1)-adrenergic receptors and pressure to WNK1, SPAK, and NKCC1 and may, thus, significantly broaden the comprehension of the regulatory mechanisms of vascular tone in arterial hypertension. PMID: 21768522
19. WNK1 is a negative regulator of NCC and NKCC2 in vivo and plays an important role in the control of Na(+) homeostasis and blood pressure. PMID: 21131289
20. Even though the increase in NCC activity in KS-WNK1(-/-) mice was less pronounced than in mice overexpressing a mutant form of WNK4, our study suggests that the activation of Na-Cl cotransporter is not sufficient to induce a hyperkalemic hypertension PMID: 20921400
21. regulated by miR-192, target sequence present in the 3' untranslated region PMID: 20813867
22. HSN2 is a nervous system-specific exon of the WNK1 gene (WNK1/HSN2 isoform). PMID: 18521183
23. findings suggest that WNK1 plays a general role in the regulation of epithelial Cl(-) flux [WNK1] PMID: 12522152
24. Several WNK1 transcript classes are demonstrated, showing tissue-, developmental-, and nephron-segment-specific expression. PMID: 14514722
25. Wnk1 heterozygous mice displayed a significant decrease in blood pressure. PMID: 14610273
26. WNK1 is a physiologically relevant target of insulin signaling through PI3K and Akt/PKB and functions as a negative regulator of insulin-stimulated mitogenesis PMID: 15799971
27. the analysis of spatial and temporal aspects of WNK1 expression and regulation. PMID: 16816365
28. These results demonstrate a novel function of WNK1 in proliferation, migration, and differentiation of neural progenitor cells, likely by mechanisms involving activation of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase ERK1/2 and/or ERK5 pathways. PMID: 17018027
29. WNK1 is a dual modulator of TGFbeta-Smad signaling pathways PMID: 17392271
30. KS-WNK1 is an important physiological regulator of renal K(+) excretion, likely through its effects on the ROMK1 channel. PMID: 19244242
31. The kidney-specific WNK1 isoform suppresses thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransport through the inhibition of full length WNK1 activity. PMID: 16204408
