A physiological cross talk operates between the tumor suppressor protein p53 and the bradykinin B2 receptor (BdkrB2) during renal organogenesis. Thus, although BdkrB2 is a target for p53-mediated transcriptional activation, BdkrB2 is required to restrict p53 proapoptotic activity. We previously demonstrated that BdkrB2(-/-) embryos exposed to gestational salt stress develop renal dysgenesis as a result of p53-mediated apoptosis of nephron progenitors and repression of the terminal differentiation program. Compared with wild-type kidneys, BdkrB2(-/-) express abnormally high levels of the Checkpoint kinase (Chk1), which activates p53 via Ser23 phosphorylation. To define the functional relevance of p53S23 phosphorylation, we generated a compound strain of BdkrB2(-/-) mice harboring a homozygous Ser23-to-Ala (S23A) mutation in the p53 gene by crossing BdkrB2(-/-) with p53S23A knockin mice. Unlike salt-stressed BdkrB2(-/-) pups, which exhibit renal dysgenesis, homozygous S23A;BdkrB2(-/-) littermates are protected and have normal renal development. Heterozygous S23A;BdkrB2(-/-) mice have an intermediate phenotype. The p53-S23A substitution was associated with amelioration of apoptosis and restored markers of nephrogenesis and tubulogenesis. Real-time quantitative RT-PCR of terminal differentiation genes demonstrated that the S23A substitution restored normal expression patterns of aquaporin-2, Na-Cl cotransporter, Na-K-2Cl cotransporter, Na-bicarbonate cotransporter, and Sglt1. We conclude that p53 phosphorylation on Ser23 is an essential step in the signaling pathway mediating the susceptibility of BdkrB2(-/-) mutants to renal dysgenesis.
