Patch clamp methods were used to characterize sodium channels on the apical membrane of Ambystoma distalnephron. The apical membranes were exposed by everting and perfusing initial collecting tubules in vitro. In cell-attached patches, we observed channels whose mean inward unitary current averaged 0.39 +/- 0.05 pA (9 patches). The conductance of these channels was 4.3 +/- 0.2 pS. The unitary current approached zero at a pipette voltage of -92 mV. When clamped at the membrane potential the channel expressed a relatively high open probability (0.46). These characteristics, together with observation that doses of 0.5 to 2 microM amiloride reversibly inhibited the channel activity, are consistent with the presence of the high amiloride affinity, high sodium selectivity channel reported for rat cortical collecting tubule and cultured epithelial cell lines. We used antisodium channel antibodies to identify biochemically the epithelial sodium channels in the distalnephron of Ambystoma. Polyclonal antisodium channel antibodies generated against purified bovine renal, high amiloride affinity epithelial sodium channel specifically recognized 110, 57, and 55 kDa polypeptides in Ambystoma and localized the channels to the apical membrane of the distalnephron. A polyclonal antibody generated against a synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminus of Apx, a protein associated with the high amiloride affinity epithelial sodium channel expressed in A6 cells, specifically recognized a 170 kDa polypeptide. These data corroborate that the apically restricted sodium channels in Ambystoma are similar to the high amiloride affinity, sodium selective channels expressed in both A6 cells and the mammalian kidney.
