Na + pump low and high ouabain affinity α subunit isoforms are differently distributed in cells

Abstract: Three isoforms (␣1, ␣2, and ␣3) of the catalytic (␣) subunit of the plasma membrane (PM) Na ؉ pump have been identified in the tissues of birds and mammals. These isoforms differ in their affinities for ions and for the Na ؉ pump inhibitor, ouabain. In the rat, ␣1 has an unusually low affinity for ouabain. The PM of most rat cells contains both low (␣1) and high (␣2 or ␣3) ouabain affinity isoforms, but precise localization of specific isoforms, and their functional significance, are unknown. We employed high … Show more

“…80 A specific colocalization of the ␣ 2 isoform of the Na ϩ ,K ϩ pump with the Na ϩ /Ca 2ϩ exchanger in microdomains that overlie subplasmalemmal endoplasmic reticulum was demonstrated in cultured astrocytes, suggesting a specific functional role of this isoform also in the regulation of intracellular Ca 2ϩ , particularly in the endoplasmic reticulum. 81 Indeed, elevated levels of intracellular Ca 2ϩ ions as well as elevated stores of Ca 2ϩ in the endoplasmic reticulum were measured in cultured astrocytes from Atp1a2 Ϫ/Ϫ mice. 82 In the adult somatosensory cortex the ␣ 2 Na ϩ ,K ϩ -ATPase isoform is located exclusively in glial cells and shows a localization virtually identical to that of the astrocytic glutamate transporters GLAST and GLUT1; at the ultrastructural level it appears preferentially localized in astrocytic processes around asymmetrical (glutamatergic) synaptic junctions, and not around GABAergic terminals.…”

“…This suggests that the low affinity ouabain binding site may correspond to the progesterone receptor on the oocyte surface. Evidence from other laboratories indicates that the low affinity and a high affinity sites are on different α1-subunits [9]. Since the low and high affinity ouabain binding α1-subunits differ by only a few amino acids, largely concentrated in the first external loop between the first and second transmembrane helices, it should be possible to identify the amino acids associated with progesterone binding.…”

“…That it is also being used in the treatment of breast cancer emphasises the importance of the ion pumps in the regulation of calcium homeostasis and cell survival. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] It is not clear if different-sized CTS also bind to the same site or as strongly, and whether they block the translocation of intracellular sodium with the same potency. 2 Other Na + /K + -ATPase inhibitors include the anti-psychotic drug chlorpromazine, the anti-malarial agent chloroquine and the antibiotic gramicidine A (IC 50 = 8 μM) ( Table 1).…”

[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] These drugs also affect other proteins, however, and the effects on the Na + /K + -ATPase are only observed for higher concentrations. 18,19 Monomeric vanadate is a well-known Na + /K + -ATPase inhibitor which is selective towards the E2P conformation.…”
