Piezo1 dictates K⁺ homeostasis through coordinated regulation of the ubiquitin ligase Kelch-like 3 in RBCs and the kidney
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The maintenance of potassium (K+) balance is a fundamental biological process involving multiple organs. However, mechanisms by which inter-organ communication regulates K+ homeostasis remain largely unexplored. By combining human genetics and mouse model generation using CRIPSR/Cas9, we demonstrate that the ubiquitin ligase Kelch-like 3 (KLHL3) orchestrates K⁺ transport across K⁺-storing erythrocytes and K⁺-excreting kidneys by interacting with the mechanosensitive Ca2+ channel Piezo1.
