	Figure 1 Bioelectric features of full-length human δ802 epithelial sodium channels (ENaC) in Xenopus oocytes. (A) Representative current trace of human δ802βγ ENaC. The channel activity of heterologously expressed δ802βγ-ENaC was recorded in cells bathed with Na+-, Li+-, K+-, and Cs+-rich bath solutions, respectively. Holding potentials were stepped from -120 mV to +80 mV in an interval of 20 mV. Currents were digitized by the CLAMPEX in the presence and absence of ENaC inhibitor amiloride (10 μM) and then the amiloride-sensitive fractions at each membrane potential were generated with the CLAMPFIT. Dashed line indicates zero current level when the membrane potential was clamped to 0 mV. Scale bars show current level and recording time. (B) Current-voltage relationship of δ802βγ-ENaC. Average amiloride-inhibitable currents (Current) were plotted as a function of membrane potentials (Voltage). The reversible potentials are approximate +13 mV for Na+ ions, +7 mV for Li+ ions, -54 mV for K+ ions, and -116 mV for Cs+ ions. n=9. (C) Dose-response curve for amiloride. Accumulating doses of amiloride were perfused to oocytes expressing δ802βγ-ENaC. Current levels at each dose were plotted against applied dose of amiloride and then fitted raw data with the Hill equation to calculate IC50 value (1.69 ± 0.3 μM). n=17. Dashed line (red) is generated with the fitted parameters. (D) Comparison of amino acid sequences at the N-terminal tails of δ802 (full-length) and δ2 clones (previously known as δ2-ENaC). Letters in red font show the extended N-terminal tails and three different amino acid residues in the δ802 clone only. Data in (B) and (C) are mean ± s.e.m. The data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey post hoc analysis.

(A) Representative current trace of αβγ- (left), δ802βγ- (middle), and δ802αβγ-ENaC (right) expressed in Xenopus oocytes. The horizontal lines under α-13 (300 μM) and amiloride (10 μM) indicate the time for application. Scale bars at the left bottom corner are for time and current amplitude. The current traces were digitized at the membrane potential of -100 mV. (B) Average current amplitude at -100 mV for the three types of ENaC channels in the absence (basal) and presence of α-13 inhibitory peptide and amiloride. n=5. * P < 0.05 and ** P < 0.01 vs basal current levels or as indicated by the horizontal lines. (C) Concentration-effect relationship of α-13 inhibitory peptide on αβγ-ENaC channels. Dashed (for αβγ) and dotted lines (for δ802βγ) are generated by fitting the raw data points except the most right one for amiloride with the Hill equation. The retrieved IC50 values for α-13 inhibitory peptide are 0.1 ± 0.01 μM (n=4, Chi2 = 0.44, R2 = 0.993), and 0.04 ± 0.07 μM (n=3, Chi2 = 0.77, R2 = 0.86), respectively. * indicates the current levels in the presence of amiloride (10 μM). (D) Effects of δ-15 peptide corresponding to α-13 sequence. δ-15 peptide was designed by aligning the amino acid sequences of δ802- and α-ENaC subunits. The sequence of 15 amino acid residues corresponding to that of α-13 inhibitory peptide was synthesized (Figure S2). The same concentration (30 μM) was perfused to the oocytes expressing δ802βγ- and δ802αβγ-ENaC channels. Amiloride (10 μM) was added to confirm the expression of ENaC. Current data at -100 mV were mean ± s.e.m. ** P<0.01 vs basal levels. n=3.
