The gamma subunit of the Na,K-ATPase induces cation channel activity

Abstract: The ␥ subunit of the Na,K-ATPase is a hydrophobic protein of approximately 10 kDa. The ␥ subunit was expressed in Sf-9 insect cells and Xenopus oocytes to ascertain its role in Na,K-ATPase function. Immunoblotting has shown that the ␥ subunit is expressed in Sf-9 cells infected with recombinant baculovirus containing the cDNA for the human ␥ subunit. Confocal microscopy demonstrates that the ␥ subunit can be delivered to the plasma membrane of Sf-9 cells independently of the other Na,K-ATPase subunits and that… Show more

“…Cloning and Sequencing-First strand cDNA synthesis was carried out in a total reaction volume of 20 l containing 5 g of total rectal gland RNA, 75 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.3, 3 mM MgCl 2 , 10 mM DTT, 10 M oligo(dT) [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] , 1 mM each of deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs; dATP, dGTP, dCTP, and dTTP), and 200 units of Superscript II (Invitrogen, Paisley, UK). The reaction was incubated at 45°C for 2 h and then stored frozen at Ϫ20°C for use in PCR.…”

“…This family includes phospholemman (PLM or FXYD1) (14), the ␥-subunit (FXYD2) (15), mammary tumor protein of 8-kDa molecular mass (MAT-8 or FXYD3) (16), channel-inducing factor (CHIF or FXYD4) (17), related to ion channel (RIC or FYXD5) (18), as well as FXYD6 and FXYD7.…”

“…There is evidence that it raises the affinity for ATP (13) by stabilizing the E 1 conformation of the Na-K-ATPase (12,13), and also that it reduces the enzyme's affinity for Na ϩ at cytoplasmic sites (14) by increasing the affinity of cytoplasmic K ϩ as a competitor for cytoplasmic Na ϩ (15). The ␥ subunit also affects the affinity for extracellualr K ϩ ions in a voltage-sensitive fashion and can induce nonselective cation channel activity (16). The ␥ subunit may be a tissue-specific regulator, and some of the functions described above may serve cells well in their defense against a hypertonic environment.…”

“…The working hypothesis is that all family members modulate the pump kinetics in vivo and function as tissue-specific modulators of the Na,KATPase (9 -11). However, other functions for FXYD proteins have also been suggested (12)(13)(14)(15)(16).…”
