摘要

In this issue of Cell Metabolism, Shibata et al. (2013) show that in renal intercalated cells mineralocorticoid receptors phosphorylated on serine 843 are rendered active by angiotensin-induced dephosphorylation. This finding represents a novel mechanism for regulating nuclear receptor activity, and explains the balance between Na-Cl reabsorption in response to volume depletion and K+ excretion in response to potassium loading.
