Abstract
MIWC is a 32 kDa mercurial-insensitive water channel [Hasegawa et al. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 5497-5500] expressed in kidney collecting duct, brain ependymal cells, airways, and other tissues. We showed recently that the homologous water channel CHIP28 spanned the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane 4 times with N- and C-termini in the cytoplasm [Skach et al., (1994) J. Cell Biol. 125, 803-815]. Hydropathy analysis of MIWC indicated up to eight hydrophobic regions (HRs) comprising potential membrane-spanning domains. To determine MIWC transmembrane topology at the ER, 10 cDNA chimeras were constructed which encoded increasing lengths of MIWC upstream from a reporter epitope (prolactin P-domain) at residues 13, 46, 73, 92, 120, 140, 164, 209, 276, and 2097, corresponding to putative polar extramembrane loops in the MIWC sequence. The chimeras were translated cell-free (rabbit reticulocyte lysate+ER-derived microsomes) and in Xenopus oocytes. Peptide chains were labeled with [35S]methionine and immunoprecipitated with a P-domain antibody. Transmembrane topology as determined by protease accessibility of the P-reporter indicated six membrane-spanning domains with N- and C-termini in the cytoplasm. The predicted topology was con...Continue Reading
