This report describes a congenital myopathy and major loss of thymic lymphocytes in ankyrin-B (-/-) mice as well as dramatic alterations in intracellular localization of key components of the Ca(2+) homeostasis machinery in ankyrin-B (-/-) striated muscle and thymus. The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and SR/T-tubule junctions are apparently preserved in a normal distribution in ankyrin-B (-/-) skeletal muscle based on electron microscopy and the presence of a normal pattern of triadin and dihydropyridine receptor. Therefore, the abnormal localization of SR/ER Ca ATPase (SERCA) and ryanodine receptors represents a defect in intracellular sorting of these proteins in skeletal muscle. Extrapolation of these observations suggests defective targeting as the basis for abnormal localization of ryanodine receptors, IP3 receptors and SERCA in heart, and of IP3 receptors in the thymus of ankyrin-B (-/-) mice. Mis-sorting of SERCA 2 and ryanodine receptor 2 in ankyrin-B (-/-) cardiomyocytes is rescued by expression of 220-kD ankyrin-B, demonstrating that lack of the 220-kD ankyrin-B polypeptide is the primary defect in these cells. Ankyrin-B is associated with intracellular vesicles, but is not colocalized with the bulk of SERCA 1 or ryanodine receptor type 1 in skeletal muscle. These data provide the first evidence of a physiological requirement for ankyrin-B in intracellular targeting of the calcium homeostasis machinery of striated muscle and immune system, and moreover, support a catalytic role that does not involve permanent stoichiometric complexes between ankyrin-B and targeted proteins. Ankyrin-B is a member of a family of adapter proteins implicated in restriction of diverse proteins to specialized plasma membrane domains. Similar mechanisms involving ankyrins may be essential for segregation of functionally defined proteins within specialized regions of the plasma membrane and within the Ca(2+) homeostasis compartment of the ER.

Ankyrin-G polypeptides are required for restriction of voltage-gated sodium channels, L1 cell adhesion molecules, and beta IV spectrin to axon initial segments and are believed to couple the Na/K-ATPase to the spectrin-actin network at the lateral membrane in epithelial cells. We report here that depletion of 190-kDa ankyrin-G in human bronchial epithelial cells by small interfering RNA results in nearly complete loss of lateral plasma membrane in interphase cells, and also blocks de novo lateral membrane biogenesis following mitosis. Loss of the lateral membrane domain is accompanied by an expansion of apical and basal plasma membranes and preservation of apical-basal polarity. Expression of rat 190-kDa ankyrin-G, which is resistant to human small interfering RNA, prevents loss of the lateral membrane following depletion of human 190-kDa ankyrin-G. Human 220-kDa ankyrin-B, a closely related ankyrin isoform, is incapable of preserving the lateral membrane following 190-kDa ankyrin-G depletion. Moreover, analysis of rat 190-kDa ankyrin G/ankyrin B chimeras shows that all three domains of 190-kDa ankyrin-G are required for preservation of the lateral membrane. These results demonstrate that 190-kDa ankyrin-G plays a pleiotropic role in assembly of lateral membranes of bronchial epithelial cells.

220-kDa ankyrin-B is required for coordinated assembly of Na/Ca exchanger, Na/K ATPase, and inositol trisphosphate (InsP(3)) receptor at transverse-tubule/sarcoplasmic reticulum sites in cardiomyocytes. A loss-of-function mutation of ankyrin-B identified in an extended kindred causes a dominantly inherited cardiac arrhythmia, initially described as type 4 long QT syndrome. Here we report the identification of eight unrelated probands harboring ankyrin-B loss-of-function mutations, including four previously undescribed mutations, whose clinical features distinguish the cardiac phenotype associated with loss of ankyrin-B activity from classic long QT syndromes. Humans with ankyrin-B mutations display varying degrees of cardiac dysfunction including bradycardia, sinus arrhythmia, idiopathic ventricular fibrillation, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, and risk of sudden death. However, a prolonged rate-corrected QT interval was not a consistent feature, indicating that ankyrin-B dysfunction represents a clinical entity distinct from classic long QT syndromes. The mutations are localized in the ankyrin-B regulatory domain, which distinguishes function of ankyrin-B from ankyrin-G in cardiomyocytes. All mutations abolish ability of ankyrin-B to restore abnormal Ca(2+) dynamics and abnormal localization and expression of Na/Ca exchanger, Na/K ATPase, and InsP(3)R in ankyrin-B(+/-) cardiomyocytes. This study, considered together with the first description of ankyrin-B mutation associated with cardiac dysfunction, supports a previously undescribed paradigm for human disease due to abnormal coordination of multiple functionally related ion channels and transporters, in this case the Na/K ATPase, Na/Ca exchanger, and InsP(3) receptor.

Na+ overload and secondary Ca2+ influx via Na+/Ca2+ exchanger are key mechanisms in cardiomyocyte contracture and necrosis during reperfusion. Impaired Na+/K+-ATPase activity contributes to Na+ overload, but the mechanism has not been established. Because Na+/K+-ATPase is connected to the cytoskeleton protein fodrin through ankyrin, which are substrates of calpains, we tested the hypothesis that calpain mediates Na+/K+-ATPase impairment in reperfused cardiomyocytes. In isolated rat hearts reperfused for 5 minutes after 60 minutes of ischemia, Na+/K+-ATPase activity was reduced by 80%, in parallel with loss of alpha-fodrin and ankyrin-B and detachment of alpha1 and alpha2 subunits of Na+/K+-ATPase from the membrane-cytoskeleton complex. Calpain inhibition with MDL-7943 during reperfusion prevented the loss of these proteins, increased Na+/K+-ATPase activity, attenuated lactate dehydrogenase release, and improved contractile recovery, and these beneficial effects of MDL-7943 were reverted by ouabain. The impairment of Na+/K+-ATPase was not a mere consequence of cell death because it was not altered in hearts in which contracture and cell death had been prevented by contractile blockade with 2,3-butanedione monoxime. In these hearts, concomitant calpain inhibition preserved Na+/K+-ATPase content and function and attenuated cell death occurring on withdrawal of 2,3-butanedione monoxime. In vitro assay showed no detectable degradation of Na+/K+-ATPase subunits after 10 minutes of incubation with activated calpain. Thus, we conclude that calpain activation contributes to the impairment of Na+/K+-ATPase during early reperfusion and that this effect is mainly mediated by degradation of the anchorage of Na+/K+-ATPase to the membrane cytoskeleton.

We report identification of an ankyrin-B-based macromolecular complex of Na/K ATPase (alpha 1 and alpha 2 isoforms), Na/Ca exchanger 1, and InsP3 receptor that is localized in cardiomyocyte T-tubules in discrete microdomains distinct from classic dihydropyridine receptor/ryanodine receptor "dyads." E1425G mutation of ankyrin-B, which causes human cardiac arrhythmia, also blocks binding of ankyrin-B to all three components of the complex. The ankyrin-B complex is markedly reduced in adult ankyrin-B(+/-) cardiomyocytes, which may explain elevated [Ca2+]i transients in these cells. Thus, loss of the ankyrin-B complex provides a molecular basis for cardiac arrhythmia in humans and mice. T-tubule-associated ankyrin-B, Na/Ca exchanger, and Na/K ATPase are not present in skeletal muscle, where ankyrin-B is expressed at 10-fold lower levels than in heart. Ankyrin-B also is not abundantly expressed in smooth muscle. We propose that the ankyrin-B-based complex is a specialized adaptation of cardiomyocytes with a role for cytosolic Ca2+ modulation.

Na,K-ATPase maintains not only ionic homeostasis, but also participates in a multiprotein complex mediating intracellular signalling. We show that ouabain, a specific ligand for Na,K-ATPase, evokes calcium oscillations in hippocampal astrocytes in primary cultures. Coimmunoprecipitation studies suggest that the mechanism underlying these calcium oscillations involves a multiprotein complex consisting of ankyrin-B, the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor and Na,K-ATPase. The ouabain/Na,K-ATPase multi-protein complex induced calcium-dependent downstream activation of the transcription factor nuclear factor-kappaB. Calcium oscillations and nuclear factor-kappaB activation were blocked following intracellular calcium store depletion. Thus, the specific Na,K-ATPase ligand ouabain induced inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor-dependent calcium oscillations in hippocampal astrocytes, which mediates nuclear factor-kappaB activation.

Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a multifunctional protein phosphatase with critical roles in excitable cell signaling. In the heart, PP2A function is linked with modulation of beta-adrenergic signaling and has been suggested to regulate key ion channels and transporters including Na/Ca exchanger, ryanodine receptor, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor, and Na/K ATPase. Although many of the functional roles and molecular targets for PP2A in heart are known, little is established regarding the cellular pathways that localize specific PP2A isoform activities to subcellular sites. We report that the PP2A regulatory subunit B56alpha is an in vivo binding partner for ankyrin-B, an adapter protein required for normal subcellular localization of the Na/Ca exchanger, Na/K ATPase, and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor. Ankyrin-B and B56alpha are colocalized and coimmunoprecipitate in primary cardiomyocytes. Using multiple strategies, we identified the structural requirements on B56alpha for ankyrin-B association as a 13 residue motif in the B56alpha COOH terminus not present in other B56 family polypeptides. Finally, we report that reduced ankyrin-B expression in primary ankyrin-B(+/-) cardiomyocytes results in disorganized distribution of B56alpha that can be rescued by exogenous expression of ankyrin-B. These new data implicate ankyrin-B as a critical targeting component for PP2A in heart and identify a new class of signaling proteins targeted by ankyrin polypeptides.

Rod photoreceptors are highly polarized cells whose exquisite sensitivity to light depends on precise compartmentalization of ion channels/transporters within specialized membrane domains. Here, we report evidence for an ankyrin-B based mechanism for coordinated expression of the beta-2-spectrin-based membrane skeleton, and the Na/K-ATPase and Na/Ca exchanger in the inner segment of rod photoreceptors. We first discovered that ankyrin-B localizes to the inner segments but not outer segments of rod photoreceptors in vertebrates including humans, mice, and frogs. We found that haploinsufficiency of ankyrin-B in mice is accompanied by 50% reduction in inner segments of membrane proteins, including the Na/K-ATPase and the Na/Ca exchanger, as well as beta-2-spectrin, which is a component of the spectrin-actin membrane skeleton. These results are consistent with a mechanism where ankyrin-B is required to restrict the Na/K-ATPase and Na/Ca exchanger to the inner segment of rod photoreceptors by tethering these membrane proteins to beta-2-spectrin.

Cellular defects in ankyrin-based ion channels and transporter targeting pathways have previously been linked with abnormal vertebrate physiology and human disease. In a recent study, our group linked dysfunction in cardiac ankyrin-B function with human sinus node disease. Ankyrin-B deficient mice displayed bradycardia and heart rate variability similar to individuals harboring an ANK2 variant. Isolated sinoatrial node (SAN) cells from ankyrin-B-deficient animals displayed abnormal membrane expression of Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX1), Na+/K+ ATPase (NKA), IP3 receptor (IP3R) and, surprisingly, Ca(V)1.3. Loss of ankyrin-B promoted slow and irregular Ca2+ release, as well as afterdepolarizations in isolated SAN cardiomyocytes. Our findings suggest that ankyrin-B serves as a critical focal point for channels and transporters important for sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) calcium homeostasis as well as membrane depolarization in SAN cells. The severity and penetrance of human ANK2 sinus node dysfunction likely reflects the essential role of ankyrin-B for orchestrating membrane function of multiple SAN ion channel and transporters within a single functional pathway. Therefore, ankyrin-based pathways may serve as ideal therapeutic targets in SAN cardiomyocytes where a "multi-hit" approach is necessary to impact a complex process such as SAN cell automaticity. In summary, our new findings define a novel genetic basis for human SND and expand our understanding of the critical role that ankyrin-based targeting pathways play in excitable cell physiology.

Ankyrin polypeptides are critical for normal membrane protein expression in diverse cell types, including neurons, myocytes, epithelia, and erythrocytes. Ankyrin dysfunction results in defects in membrane expression of ankyrin-binding partners (including ion channels, transporters, and cell adhesion molecules), resulting in aberrant cellular function and disease. Here, we identify a new role for ankyrin-B in cardiac cell biology. We demonstrate that cardiac sarcolemmal K(ATP) channels directly associate with ankyrin-B in heart via the K(ATP) channel alpha-subunit Kir6.2. We demonstrate that primary myocytes lacking ankyrin-B display defects in Kir6.2 protein expression, membrane expression, and function. Moreover, we demonstrate a secondary role for ankyrin-B in regulating K(ATP) channel gating. Finally, we demonstrate that ankyrin-B forms a membrane complex with K(ATP) channels and the cardiac Na/K-ATPase, a second key membrane transporter involved in the cardiac ischemia response. Collectively, our new findings define a new role for cardiac ankyrin polypeptides in regulation of ion channel membrane expression in heart.
