Resumen: Despite similar molecular structures, the growth-related sodium/phosphate cotransporter NaPiIIc is regulated differently than the main NaPiIIa phosphate transporter. Using two-hybrid systems and immunoprecipitation, we identified several proteins that interact with NaPiIIc that might account for this differential regulation. NaPiIIc interacted with the PDZ domain-containing sodium–hydrogen exchange-regulating factor (NHERF) 1 and NHERF3 through novel binding motifs in its C terminus. NaPiIIc from brush-border membranes coprecipitated with both NHERF1 and NHERF3, with more NHERF3 co-precipitated in rats fed a low-phosphorus diet. NaPiIIc colocalizes with both NHERF1 and NHERF3 in brush-border membranes of rats fed either a low- or high-phosphorus diet. When mouse NaPiIIc was transfected into opossum kidney cells, it was localized mainly in apical microvilli and the trans-Golgi. Both confocal and total internal reflection microscopy show that NaPiIIc colocalizes with NHERF1 and NHERF3 in the apical microvilli, and this was not altered by truncation of the last three amino acids of NaPiIIc. Interactions of NaPiIIc with NHERF1 and NHERF3 were modulated by the membrane-associated 17 kDa protein (MAP17) similarly to NaPiIIa, but only the MAP17–NaPiIIc–NHERF3 complexes were internalized to the trans-Golgi. Our study shows that NaPiIIc interacts with a limited number of PDZ domain proteins, and the mechanisms and consequences of such interactions differ from those of NaPiIIa.
