Corticosteroid hormone-induced factor (CHIF) is a short epithelial-specific protein that is independently induced by aldosterone and a high-K(+) diet. It is a member of the FXYD family of single-span transmembrane proteins that include phospholemman, Mat-8, and the gamma-subunit of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase. A number of studies have suggested that these proteins are involved in the regulation of ion transport and, in particular, functionally interact with the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase. The present study describes the characterization, targeted disruption, and phenotypic analysis of the mouse CHIF gene. The CHIF knockout mice are viable and not distinguishable from wild-type littermates under normal conditions. Under K(+) loading, they have a twofold higher urine volume and an increased glomerular filtration rate. Similar but smaller effects are observed in mice fed a low-Na(+) diet. Treating K(+)-loaded mice for 10 days with furosemide resulted in lethality in the knockout mice (17 of 39) but not in the wild-type group (1 of 39). The data are consistent with an effect of CHIF on the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase that is specific to the outer and inner medullary duct, its major expression site.

A family of small, single-span membrane proteins (the FXYD family) has recently been defined based on their sequence and structural homology. Some members of this family have already been identified as tissue-specific regulators of Na,K-ATPase (NKA). In the present study, we demonstrate that phospholemman (PLM) (FXYD1), so far considered to be a heart- and muscle-specific channel or channel-regulating protein, associates specifically and stably with six different alpha-beta isozymes of NKA after coexpression in Xenopus oocytes, and with alpha1-beta, and less efficiently with alpha2-beta isozymes, in native cardiac and skeletal muscles. Stoichiometric association of PLM with NKA occurs posttranslationally either in the Golgi or the plasma membrane. Interaction of PLM with NKA induces a small decrease in the external K+ affinity of alpha1-beta1 and alpha2-beta1 isozymes and a nearly 2-fold decrease in the internal Na+ affinity. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that PLM is a tissue-specific regulator of NKA that may play an essential role in muscle contractility.

Maintenance of the Na+ and K+ gradients between the intracellular and extracellular milieus of animal cells is a prerequisite for basic cellular homeostasis and for functions of specialized tissues. The Na,K-ATPase, an oligomeric P-type adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), is composed of a catalytic alpha subunit and a regulatory beta subunit and is the main player that fulfils these tasks. A variety of regulatory mechanisms are necessary to guarantee appropriate Na,K-ATPase expression and activity adapted to changing physiological demands. Recently, a regulatory mechanism was defined that is mediated by interaction of Na,K-ATPase with small proteins of the FXYD family, which possess a single transmembrane domain and so far have been considered as channels or regulators of ion channels. The mammalian FXYD proteins FXYD1 through FXYD7 exhibit tissue-specific distribution. Phospholemman (FXYD1) in heart and skeletal muscle, the gamma subunit of Na,K-ATPase (FXYD2) and corticosteroid hormone-induced factor (FXYD4, also known as CHIF) in the kidney, and FXYD7 in the brain associate preferentially with the widely expressed Na,K-ATPase alpha1-beta1 isozyme and modulate its transport activity in a way that conforms to tissue-specific requirements. Thus, tissue- and isozyme-specific interaction of Na,K-ATPase with FXYD proteins contributes to proper handling of Na+ and K+ by the Na,K-ATPase, and ensures correct function in such processes as renal Na+-reabsorption, muscle contraction, and neuronal excitability.

The molecular mechanisms with which the juxtaglomerular apparatus accomplishes its twin functions, acute regulation of glomerular blood flow and secretion of renin, are still not clearly understood. Least understood is the role of the extraglomerular mesangial (EM) cells, also known as lacis or Goormaghtigh cells, which lie sandwiched between the macula densa and the afferent and efferent arterioles. Here, we report that immunoreactivity for phospholemman (FXYD1), a single-span membrane protein homologous to the gamma (gamma) sub-unit of the Na,K-ATPase, is found in the kidney in EM cells with the Na,K-ATPase beta2-subunit and in cortical blood vessels and the afferent arteriole with Na,K-ATPase alpha2 and beta2. Phospholemman's distribution in EM cells is distinct from that of the Na,K-ATPase gamma-subunit, which is found on the basolateral surface of macula densa cells with Na,K-ATPase alpha1 and beta1. Phospholemman is a major kinase target, and its location in the juxtaglomerular apparatus suggests that it is involved in tubuloglomerular feedback.

Phospholemman (FXYD1) is a homolog of the Na,K-ATPase gamma subunit (FXYD2), a small accessory protein that modulates ATPase activity. Here we show that phospholemman is highly expressed in selected structures in the CNS. It is most abundant in cerebellum, where it was detected in the molecular layer, in Purkinje neurons, and in axons traversing the granule cell layer. Phospholemman was particularly enriched in choroid plexus, the organ that secretes CSF in the ventricles, where it colocalized with Na,K-ATPase in the apical membrane. It was also enriched, with Na,K-ATPase, in certain tanycytes or ependymal cells of the ventricle wall. Two different experimental approaches demonstrated that phospholemman physically associated with the Na,K-ATPase in cerebellum and choroid plexus: the proteins copurified after detergent treatment and co-immunoprecipitated from solubilized crude membranes using either anti-phospholemman or anti-Na,K-ATPase antibodies. Phospholemman antibodies precipitated all three Na,K-ATPase alpha subunit isoforms (alpha1-alpha3) from cerebellum, indicating that the interaction is not specific to a particular alpha isoform and consistent with the presence of phospholemman in both neurons and glia. Antibodies against the C-terminal domain of phospholemman reduced Na,K-ATPase activity in vitro without effect on Na+ affinity. At least two other FXYD family members have been detected in the CNS, suggesting that additional complexity of sodium pump regulation will be found.

The FXYD gene family has seven members in mammals and others in fish. Five of these (FXYD1, FXYD2, FXYD4, FXYD7, and PLMS from shark) have been shown to alter the activity of the Na,K-ATPase, as described by other papers in this volume. The gene structure of FXYD family members suggests assembly from protein domain modules and gene duplication. The gamma subunit is unique in the family for having alternative splice variants in the coding region and can be posttranslationally modified with different final consequences for enzyme properties. The nonoverlapping distribution of gamma and CHIF (FXYD4) in kidney helps to explain physiological differences in Na(+) affinity among nephron segments. We also detected phospholemman (FXYD1) in kidney. By immunofluorescence, it was found in extraglomerular mesangial cells (EM cells) of the juxtaglomerular apparatus and in the afferent arteriole. Contrary to many reports that only alpha1 and beta1 are expressed in the kidney, we found that alpha2 and beta2 are present, although not in any nephron segment. Both were detected in arterioles, and beta2 was found in the EM cells. In contrast, alpha1, beta1, and gamma were found in adjacent macula densa. Phospholemman, alpha2, and beta2 are proposed to have distinct roles in regulating the sodium pump in structures involved in tubuloglomerular feedback.

The recently defined FXYD protein family contains seven members that are small, single-span membrane proteins characterized by a signature sequence containing an FXYD motif and three other conserved amino acid residues. Until recently, the functional role of FXYD proteins was largely unknown, with the exception of the gamma subunit of Na,K-ATPase, which was shown to be a specific regulator of renal alpha1-beta1 isozymes. We have investigated whether other members of the FXYD family may have a similar role as the gamma subunit and have found that CHIF (corticosteroid hormone-induced factor, FXYD4), FXYD7, as well as phospholemman (FXYD1) specifically associate with Na,K-ATPase and preferentially with alpha1-beta isozymes in native tissues, and produce distinct effects on the transport properties of Na,K-ATPase that are adapted to the physiological demands of the tissues in which they are expressed. These results provide evidence for a unique and novel mode of regulation of Na,K-ATPase by FXYD proteins that involves a tissue-specific expression of an auxiliary subunit of distinct Na,K-ATPase isozymes.

The gamma subunit of Na/K/ATPase is a small membrane protein that shares homologies with other members of the FXYD family, like phospholemman and CHIF (corticosteroid hormone-induced factor). Both the gamma subunit and CHIF modulate sodium pump properties. The gamma subunit increases the apparent affinity of the pump for ATP and reduces its apparent affinity for sodium. CHIF, in contrast, augments its apparent affinity for sodium. Gamma subunit expression is essentially restricted to the kidney, with two main splice variants, gammaa and gammab, which differ only at their extracellular N-termini. We have investigated in detail the cell-specific expression of the two splice variants of gamma within the kidney and compared it to that of CHIF. While both gamma variants affect catalytic properties of the pump (without detectable difference between a and b forms), their localization along the nephron is partially distinct. Both variants are coexpressed in the proximal tubule and in the medullary part of the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (TAL). In contrast, their expression differs in the downstream tubular segments. Within the renal cortex, the sole gamma a variant was found in macula densa cells and in principal cells of the initial parts of the collecting duct. Gamma b is in the cortical part of the TAL. Outer and inner medullary collecting ducts lack detectable gamma expression. These latter nephron segments express CHIF, and no overlap between gamma and CHIF expression along the nephron was observed. Such distinct cell-specific expression argues for complementary roles to modulate Na/K/ATPase activity.

The FXYD protein family has recently been defined as a result of the search for homologues of the Na,K-ATPase gamma subunit, CHIF, and phospholemman in EST and gene data banks. FXYD7 has been seen to have a role as a brain- and isozyme-specific regulator of Na/K-ATPase. In this study, the biosynthesis, membrane topology, nature, and role of the processing of FXYD7 are investigated.

Regulation of the Na/K ATPase by protein kinases is model-specific. We have observed a profound activation of the sarcolemmal Na/K ATPase during cardiac ischemia, which is masked by an inhibitor of the enzyme in the cytosol. The aim of these studies was to characterize the pathways involved in this activation in the Langendorff-perfused rat heart. Na/K ATPase activity was determined by measuring ouabain-sensitive phosphate generation by cardiac homogenates at 37 degrees C. In isolated sarcolemma, ischemia (30 min) caused a substantial activation of the Na/K ATPase compared with aerobic controls, which was abolished by perfusing the heart with staurosporine or H89. However, the alpha1 subunit of the Na/K ATPase was not phosphorylated during ischemia. The sarcolemmal protein phospholemman (PLM) was found associated with the Na/K ATPase alpha1 and beta1 but not alpha2 subunits, and PLM increased its association with the catalytic subunit of PKA following ischemia. In vitro 14-3-3 binding assays indicated that PLM was phosphorylated following ischemia. These results indicate that the ischemia-induced activation of the Na/K ATPase is indirect, through phosphorylation of PLM, which is an integral part of the Na/K ATPase enzyme complex in the heart. The role of PLM is analogous to phospholamban in regulating the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase.
