FXYD1 (phospholemman) is a member of an evolutionarily conserved family of membrane proteins that regulate the function of the Na,K-ATPase enzyme complex in specific tissues and specific physiological states. In heart and skeletal muscle sarcolemma, FXYD1 is also the principal substrate of hormone-regulated phosphorylation by c-AMP dependent protein kinase A and by protein kinase C, which phosphorylate the protein at conserved Ser residues in its cytoplasmic domain, altering its Na,K-ATPase regulatory activity. FXYD1 adopts an L-shaped alpha-helical structure with the transmembrane helix loosely connected to a cytoplasmic amphipathic helix that rests on the membrane surface. In this paper we describe NMR experiments showing that neither PKA phosphorylation at Ser68 nor the physiologically relevant phosphorylation mimicking mutation Ser68Asp induces major changes in the protein conformation. The results, viewed in light of a model of FXYD1 associated with the Na,K-ATPase alpha and beta subunits, indicate that the effects of phosphorylation on the Na,K-ATPase regulatory activity of FXYD1 could be due primarily to changes in electrostatic potential near the membrane surface and near the Na(+)/K(+) ion binding site of the Na,K-ATPase alpha subunit.

The level of the heterodimeric Na,K-ATPase is tightly controlled in epithelia to maintain appropriate transport function. The catalytic Na,K-ATPase alpha subunit is not able to exit the ER or catalyze ion transport unless assembled with the beta subunit. However, requirements for the ER exit of the Na,K-ATPase beta subunit that plays an additional, ion-transport-independent, role in intercellular adhesion are not clear. Exogenous beta(1) or beta(2) subunits expressed in renal MDCK cells replace endogenous beta(1) subunits in the alpha-beta complexes in the ER, resulting in a decrease in the amount of the alpha(1)-bound endogenous beta(1) subunits by 47-61% with no change in the amount of alpha(1) subunits. Disruption of the alpha(1)-beta association by mutations in defined alpha(1)-interacting regions of either beta(1) or beta(2) subunits results in the ER retention and rapid degradation of unassembled mutants. Hence, the ER quality control system allows export only of assembled alpha-beta complexes to the Golgi, thereby maintaining an equimolar ratio of alpha and beta subunits in the plasma membrane, whereas the number of alpha(1) subunits in the ER determines the amount of the alpha-beta complexes.

A present review is devoted to the analysis of literature data and results of our own research in the field of the Na,K-ATPase molecular diversity. Abundant evidence shows that the Na,K-ATPase alpha2 isoform is not only involved in various specific cell functions but also affected by different regulatory factors as compared to the alpha1 isoform which carries the main pump function. Data gathered suggest that these features of alpha2 isoform are determined by its functional and molecular environment, localization in specific cellular microdomains and also by less stable integration into the cell membrane as compared to other isoforms of the Na,K-ATPase alpha subunit.
