Supplementary information

WNK2 also known as With No Lysine (K) Kinase 2 is a serine/threonine kinase weighing approximately 250 kDa. It plays a critical role in regulating ion transport by modulating various ion channels and transporters. WNK2 is expressed in several tissues with higher expression in the central nervous system and some epithelial tissues. This kinase operates through interacting with other proteins and enzymes to facilitate its functional role in cellular processes.
Biological function summary

WNK2 contributes to cellular signaling and volume regulation. It does not form part of a complex itself but its function gets integrated through its interaction with pathways affecting cytoskeleton dynamics and cell survival. WNK2’s phosphorylation activity helps in reorganizing cellular components and aids cells in adapting to osmotic stress therefore supporting cellular homeostasis.

Pathways

Several interacting molecules highlight the significance of WNK2 in signal transduction. WNK2’s role involves the MAPK/ERK pathway where it cooperates with STE20 and other kinases to relay signals from the cell surface to the nucleus. This interaction influences cell proliferation and differentiation shedding light on WNK2's contribution to the regulation of growth signals. Another important pathway involving WNK2 is the regulation of sodium and potassium balance through its communication with related kinases like WNK1 and WNK4.

WNK2’s malfunction has links to conditions like hypertension and cancer. Abnormalities in WNK2 expression or activity can lead to altered cellular homeostasis and excessive cell proliferation which get commonly observed in various types of cancer. Dysregulation in WNK2 activity also relates to hypertension where it affects sodium and water retention partly through interaction with kinases such as WNK3. Understanding these connections can prove valuable in developing interventions targeting these diseases.

Target data

Serine/threonine-protein kinase component of the WNK2-SPAK/OSR1 kinase cascade, which plays an important role in the regulation of electrolyte homeostasis, cell signaling, survival, and proliferation (PubMed : 17667937, PubMed : 18593598, PubMed : 21733846). The WNK2-SPAK/OSR1 kinase cascade is composed of WNK2, which mediates phosphorylation and activation of downstream kinases OXSR1/OSR1 and STK39/SPAK (By similarity). Following activation, OXSR1/OSR1 and STK39/SPAK catalyze phosphorylation of ion cotransporters, regulating their activity (By similarity). Acts as an activator and inhibitor of sodium-coupled chloride cotransporters and potassium-coupled chloride cotransporters respectively (PubMed : 21733846). Activates SLC12A2, SCNN1A, SCNN1B, SCNN1D and SGK1 and inhibits SLC12A5 (PubMed : 21733846). Negatively regulates the EGF-induced activation of the ERK/MAPK-pathway and the downstream cell cycle progression (PubMed : 17667937, PubMed : 18593598). Affects MAPK3/MAPK1 activity by modulating the activity of MAP2K1 and this modulation depends on phosphorylation of MAP2K1 by PAK1 (PubMed : 17667937, PubMed : 18593598). WNK2 acts by interfering with the activity of PAK1 by controlling the balance of the activity of upstream regulators of PAK1 activity, RHOA and RAC1, which display reciprocal activity (PubMed : 17667937, PubMed : 18593598).
