Abstract:Loss of the endosomal anion transport protein ClC-5 impairs renal endocytosis and underlies human Dent's disease. ClC-5 is thought to promote endocytosis by facilitating endosomal acidification through neutralization of proton pump currents. However, ClC-5 is a 2Cl(-)/H(+)-exchanger rather than a Cl(-) channel. We generated mice carrying the uncoupling E211A (unc) mutation that converts ClC-5 into a pure Cl(-) conductor. ATP-dependent acidification of renal endosomes was reduced in ClC-5 knockout mice, but normal in Clcn5(unc) mice. Surprisingly, however, their proximal tubular endocytosis was also impaired. Thus endosomal chloride concentration, which is raised by ClC-5 in exchange for protons accumulated by the H(+)-ATPase, may play a role in endocytosis.
