This work, using RT PCR, studied expression of mRNAs encoding ion transporters, the Na/H antiporter (NHE1), the beta subunit of the Na,K-ATPase pump (ATP1B1), the NaK2Cl symporter (NKCC1), and some proteins unrelated to ion transport: the serum and glucocorticoid dependent kinase (hSGK), beta-actin, a glycolytic enzyme (GAPDH), and regulators of proliferation and apoptosis (p53, Bcl-2) during activation of human lymphocytes with phytohemagglutinin for 4-24 h. Within 24 hours the mRNA levels of NHE1, beta-actin, Bcl-2, and p53 increased by more than 100%, the mRNA levels of ATP1B1, GAPDH, and hSGK, by about 50%, while the mRNA levels of NKCC1 decreased transiently. These results indicate a differential transcriptional control of NHE1, ATP1B1, and NKCC1 following a proliferative stimulus of human lymphocytes.

We reported previously that cofilin, an actin-binding protein, interacts with Na,K-ATPase and enhances its activity (Lee, K., Jung, J., Kim, M., and Guidotti, G. (2001) Biochem. J. 353, 377-385). To understand the nature of this interaction and the role of cofilin in the regulation of Na,K-ATPase activity, we searched for cofilin-binding proteins in the rat skeletal muscle cDNA library using the yeast two-hybrid system. Several cDNA clones were isolated, some of which coded for triose-phosphate isomerase, a glycolytic enzyme. The interaction of cofilin with triose-phosphate isomerase as well as Na,K-ATPase was confirmed by immunoprecipitation and confocal microscopy in HeLa cells. Cofilin was translocated to the plasma membrane along with triose-phosphate isomerase by the Rho activator lysophosphatidic acid but not by the p160 Rho-associated kinase inhibitor Y-27632, suggesting that the phosphorylated form of cofilin bound to TPI interacts with Na,K-ATPase. Ouabain-sensitive (86)Rb(+) uptake showed that Na,K-ATPase activity was increased by the overexpression of cofilin and lysophosphatidic acid treatment, but not by the overexpression of mutant cofilin S3A and Y-27632 treatment. Pretreatment with the glycolytic inhibitor iodoacetic acid caused a remarkable reduction of Na,K-ATPase activity, whereas pretreatment with the oxidative inhibitor carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone caused no detectable changes, suggesting that the phosphorylated cofilin is involved in feeding glycolytic fuel for Na,K-ATPase activity. These findings provide a novel molecular mechanism for the regulation of Na,K-ATPase activity and for the nature of the functional coupling of cellular energy transduction.

We have proposed that hyperglycemia-induced dedifferentiation of beta-cells is a critical factor for the loss of insulin secretory function in diabetes. Here we examined the effects of the duration of hyperglycemia on gene expression in islets of partially pancreatectomized (Px) rats. Islets were isolated, and mRNA was extracted from rats 4 and 14 weeks after Px or sham Px surgery. Px rats developed different degrees of hyperglycemia; low hyperglycemia was assigned to Px rats with fed blood glucose levels less than 150 mg/dl, and high hyperglycemia was assigned above 150 mg/dl. beta-Cell hypertrophy was present at both 4 and 14 weeks. At the same time points, high hyperglycemia rats showed a global alteration in gene expression with decreased mRNA for insulin, IAPP, islet-associated transcription factors (pancreatic and duodenal homeobox-1, BETA2/NeuroD, Nkx6.1, and hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha), beta-cell metabolic enzymes (glucose transporter 2, glucokinase, mitochondrial glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase, and pyruvate carboxylase), and ion channels/pumps (Kir6.2, VDCC beta, and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase 3). Conversely, genes normally suppressed in beta-cells, such as lactate dehydrogenase-A, hexokinase I, glucose-6-phosphatase, stress genes (heme oxygenase-1, A20, and Fas), and the transcription factor c-Myc, were markedly increased. In contrast, gene expression in low hyperglycemia rats was only minimally changed at 4 weeks but significantly changed at 14 weeks, indicating that even low levels of hyperglycemia induce beta-cell dedifferentiation over time. In addition, whereas 2 weeks of correction of hyperglycemia completely reverses the changes in gene expression of Px rats at 4 weeks, the changes at 14 weeks were only partially reversed, indicating that the phenotype becomes resistant to reversal in the long term. In conclusion, chronic hyperglycemia induces a progressive loss of beta-cell phenotype with decreased expression of beta-cell-associated genes and increased expression of normally suppressed genes, these changes being present with even minimal levels of hyperglycemia. Thus, both the severity and duration of hyperglycemia appear to contribute to the deterioration of the beta-cell phenotype found in diabetes.

Vacuolar H(+)-ATPases (V-ATPases) are a family of highly conserved proton pumps that couple hydrolysis of cytosolic ATP to proton transport out of the cytosol. How ATP is supplied for V-ATPase-mediated hydrolysis and for coupling of proton transport is poorly understood. We have reported that the glycolytic enzyme aldolase physically associates with V-ATPase. Here we show that aldolase interacts with three different subunits of V-ATPase (subunits a, B, and E). The binding sites for the V-ATPase subunits on aldolase appear to be on distinct interfaces of the glycolytic enzyme. Aldolase deletion mutant cells were able to grow in medium buffered at pH 5.5 but not at pH 7.5, displaying a growth phenotype similar to that observed in V-ATPase subunit deletion mutants. Abnormalities in V-ATPase assembly and protein expression observed in aldolase deletion mutant cells could be fully rescued by aldolase complementation. The interaction between aldolase and V-ATPase increased dramatically in the presence of glucose, suggesting that aldolase may act as a glucose sensor for V-ATPase regulation. Taken together, these findings provide functional evidence that the ATP-generating glycolytic pathway is directly coupled to the ATP-hydrolyzing proton pump through physical interaction between aldolase and V-ATPase.

The purpose of the present study was to determine at which point in the period from embryonic day 21 up to postnatal day (PD) 75, the different fibre types and subtypes are detectable in rat extensor digitorum longus, soleus and gastrocnemius muscles using immunohistochemical, enzyme histochemical and cytophotometrical methods. Moreover, fibre type-specific changes in metabolic profile and changes in fibre type population during postnatal development were analysed. Before birth, no clear differentiation of fibre types was found. At PD 1, slow and fast fibres were typed by antibodies against neonatal, slow and fast myosin heavy chains (MHCs). At PD 8, the different ATPase activities of slow and fast MHCs after alkaline preincubation were detected histochemically. At PD 21, differences in acid stability of ATPase activity of fast MHC isoforms revealed the fast subtypes IIA and IIB (including IIX). At this age, also differences in metabolic properties (oxidative and glycolytic enzyme activities) of fibres were detected for the first time by cytophotometry classifying the fibres into SO, FOG I, FOG II and FG. Before the age of 21 days, the fast fibres were metabolically undifferentiated. During further development and ageing, the population of FG fibres with high glycolytic activity increased at the expense of FOG fibres suggesting FOG to FG transformation. Cytophotometrical measurements revealed that the muscle fibres developed their highest contractile, oxidative and glycolytic activity at PD 21, the time of weaning. In this way, muscle fibres may be prepared for the higher demands for posture and mobility after leaving the nest.

Fructose-bisphosphate aldolase is a glycolytic enzyme whose activity increases in rice roots treated with gibberellin (GA). To investigate the relationship between aldolase and root growth, GA-induced root aldolase was characterized. GA3 promoted an increase in aldolase accumulation when 0.1 microM GA3 was added exogenously to rice roots. Aldolase accumulated abundantly in roots, especially in the apical region. To examine the effect of aldolase function on root growth, transgenic rice plants expressing antisense aldolase were constructed. Root growth of aldolase-antisense transgenic rice was repressed compared with that of the vector control transgenic rice. Although aldolase activity increased by 25% in vector control rice roots treated with 0.1 microM GA3, FBPA activity increased very little by 0.1 microM GA3 treatment in the root of aldolase-antisense transgenic rice. Furthermore, aldolase co-immunoprecipitated with antibodies against vacuolar H+ -ATPase in rice roots. In the root of OsCDPK13-antisense transgenic rice, aldolase did not accumulate even after treatment with GA3. These results suggest that the activation of glycolytic pathway function accelerates root growth and that GA3-induced root aldolase may be modulated through OsCDPK13. Aldolase physically associates with vacuolar H-ATPase in roots and may regulate the vacuolar H-ATPase mediated control of cell elongation that determines root length.

Vacuolar proton-translocating ATPases (V-ATPases) are a family of highly conserved proton pumps that couple hydrolysis of cytosolic ATP to proton transport out of the cytosol. Although V-ATPases are involved in a number of cellular processes, how the proton pumps are regulated under physiological conditions is not well understood. We have reported that the glycolytic enzyme aldolase mediates V-ATPase assembly and activity by physical association with the proton pump (Lu, M., Holliday, L. S., Zhang, L., Dunn, W. A., and Gluck, S. L. (2001) J. Biol. Chem. 276, 30407-30413 and Lu, M., Sautin, Y., Holliday, L. S., and Gluck, S. L. (2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 8732-8739). In this study, we generate aldolase mutants that lack binding to the B subunit of V-ATPase but retain normal catalytic activities. Functional analysis of the aldolase mutants shows that disruption of binding between aldolase and the B subunit of V-ATPase results in disassembly and malfunction of V-ATPase. In contrast, aldolase enzymatic activity is not required for V-ATPase assembly. Taken together, these findings strongly suggest an important role for physical association between aldolase and V-ATPase in the regulation of the proton pump.

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of elevated testicular temperature on the expression patterns of sperm proteins in bulls. Ejaculates were collected from sexually mature Holstein bulls (n = 6) twice weekly for 10 weeks. Testicular temperature was elevated in all bulls by scrotal insulation for 72 consecutive hours during Week 2. Triton X-100 extracts of sperm proteins were prepared and subjected to SDS-PAGE. Sperm proteins in the 110 kDa range decreased from pre-thermal insult to Day 28 (start of thermal insult = Day 0), concurrent with decreases in sperm concentration, motility, and morphology, and subsequently increased, approaching pre-thermal insult values by Day 40. Based on mass spectrometry, this band was comprised of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), Hexokinase-1, and the alpha-4 subunit of Na(+)/K(+)ATPase. Changes in the expression patterns of these proteins were confirmed by immunoblotting, including the use of a custom antibody against the alpha-4 subunit of Na(+)/K(+)ATPase (testis-specific isoform). Furthermore, a 25 kDa sperm protein (identified as tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2; TIMP-2), had a low expression level in pre-thermal insult samples, increased to Day 28 of post-thermal insult, and subsequently decreased to the pre-thermal insult level by the end of the experimental period. In conclusion, we identified proteins that may serve as molecular markers of impaired sperm function due to elevated testicular temperature, with important implications for fertility predictions. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the identification of a testis-specific isoform of Na(+)/K(+)ATPase in bovine sperm.

The vacuolar-type ATPase (H+ATPase) is a ubiquitously expressed multisubunit pump whose regulation is poorly understood. Its membrane-integral a-subunit is involved in proton translocation and in humans has four forms, a1-a4. This study investigated two naturally occurring point mutations in a4's COOH terminus that cause recessive distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA), R807Q and G820R. Both lie within a domain that binds the glycolytic enzyme phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1). We recreated these disease mutations in yeast to investigate effects on protein expression, H+ATPase assembly, targeting and activity, and performed in vitro PFK-1 binding and activity studies of mammalian proteins. Mammalian studies revealed complete loss of binding between the COOH terminus of a4 containing the G-to-R mutant and PFK-1, without affecting PFK-1's catalytic activity. In yeast expression studies, protein levels, H+ATPase assembly, and targeting of this mutant were all preserved. However, severe (78%) loss of proton transport but less decrease in ATPase activity (36%) were observed in mutant vacuoles, suggesting a requirement for the a-subunit/PFK-1 binding to couple these two functions. This role for PFK in H+ATPase function was supported by similar functional losses and uncoupling ratio between the two proton pump domains observed in vacuoles from a PFK-null strain, which was also unable to grow at alkaline pH. In contrast, the R-to-Q mutation dramatically reduced a-subunit production, abolishing H+ATPase function completely. Thus in the context of dRTA, stability and function of the metabolon composed of H+ATPase and glycolytic components can be compromised by either loss of required PFK-1 binding (G820R) or loss of pump protein (R807Q).

To further elucidate the pattern of MHC isoform expression in skeletal muscles of large mammals, in this study the skeletal muscles of brown bear, one of the largest mammalian predators with an extraordinary locomotor capacity, were analyzed. Fiber types in longissimus dorsi, triceps brachii caput longum, and rectus femoris muscles were determined according to the myofibrillar ATPase (mATPase) histochemistry and MHC isoform expression, revealed by a set of antibodies specific to MHC isoforms. The oxidative (SDH) and glycolytic enzyme (alpha-GPDH) capacity of fibers was demonstrated as well. By mATPase histochemistry five fiber types, i.e., I, IIC, IIA, IIAX, IIX were distinguished. Analyzing the MHC isoform expression, we assume that MHC-I, -IIa, and -IIx are expressed in the muscles of adolescent bears. MHC-I isoform was expressed in Type-I fibers and coexpressed with presumably -IIa isoform, in Type-IIC fibers. Surprisingly, two antibodies specific to rat MHC-IIa stained those fast fibers, that were histochemically and immunohistochemically classified as Type IIX. This assumption was additionally confirmed by complete absence of fiber staining with antibody specific to rat MHC-IIb and all fast fiber staining with antibody that according to our experience recognizes MHC-IIa and -IIx of rat. Furthermore, quite high-oxidative capacity of all fast fiber types and their weak glycolytic capacity also imply for MHC-IIa and -IIx isoform expression in fast fibers of bear. However, in adult, full-grown animal, only MHC-I and MHC-IIa isoforms were expressed. The expression of only two fast isoforms in bear, like in many other large mammals (humans, cat, dog, goat, cattle, and horse) obviously meets the weight-bearing and locomotor demands of these mammals.
