Four of the seven members of the FXYD protein family have been identified as specific regulators of Na,K-ATPase. In this study, we show that FXYD3, also known as Mat-8, is able to associate with and to modify the transport properties of Na,K-ATPase. In addition to this shared function, FXYD3 displays some uncommon characteristics. First, in contrast to other FXYD proteins, which were shown to be type I membrane proteins, FXYD3 may have a second transmembrane-like domain because of the presence of a noncleavable signal peptide. Second, FXYD3 can associate with Na,K- as well as H,K-ATPases when expressed in Xenopus oocytes. However, in situ (stomach), FXYD3 is associated only with Na,K-ATPase because its expression is restricted to mucous cells in which H,K-ATPase is absent. Coexpressed in Xenopus oocytes, FXYD3 modulates the glycosylation processing of the beta subunit of X,K-ATPase dependent on the presence of the signal peptide. Finally, FXYD3 decreases both the apparent affinity for Na+ and K+ of Na,K-ATPase.

The FXYD family proteins are auxiliary subunits of the Na,K-ATPase, expressed primarily in tissues that specialize in fluid or solute transport, or that are electrically excitable. These proteins range in size from about 60 to 160 amino acid residues, and share a core homology of 35 amino acid residues in and around a single transmembrane segment. Despite their relatively small sizes, they are all encoded by genes with six to nine small exons. We show that the helical secondary structures of three FXYD family members, FXYD1, FXYD3, and FXYD4, determined in micelles by NMR spectroscopy, reflect the structures of their corresponding genes. The coincidence of helical regions, and connecting segments, with the positions of intron-exon junctions in the genes, support the hypothesis that the FXYD proteins may have been assembled from discrete structural modules through exon shuffling.

FXYD proteins belong to a family of small-membrane proteins. Recent experimental evidence suggests that at least five of the seven members of this family, FXYD1 (phospholemman), FXYD2 (gamma-subunit of Na-K-ATPase), FXYD3 (Mat-8), FXYD4 (CHIF), and FXYD7, are auxiliary subunits of Na-K-ATPase and regulate Na-K-ATPase activity in a tissue- and isoform-specific way. These results highlight the complexity of the regulation of Na+ and K+ handling by Na-K-ATPase, which is necessary to ensure appropriate tissue functions such as renal Na+ reabsorption, muscle contractility, and neuronal excitability. Moreover, a mutation in FXYD2 has been linked to cases of human hypomagnesemia, indicating that perturbations in the regulation of Na-K-ATPase by FXYD proteins may be critically involved in pathophysiological states. A better understanding of this novel regulatory mechanism of Na-K-ATPase should help in learning more about its role in pathophysiological states. This review summarizes the present knowledge of the role of FXYD proteins in the modulation of Na-K-ATPase as well as of other proteins, their regulation, and their structure-function relationship.

In this short review, we summarize our work on the role of members of the FXYD protein family as tissue-specific modulators of Na, K-ATPase. FXYD1 or phospholemman, mainly expressed in heart and skeletal muscle increases the apparent affinity for intracellular Na(+) of Na, K-ATPase and may thus be important for appropriate muscle contractility. FXYD2 or gamma subunit and FXYD4 or CHIF modulate the apparent affinity for Na(+) of Na, K-ATPase in an opposite way, adapted to the physiological needs of Na(+) reabsorption in different segments of the renal tubule. FXYD3 expressed in stomach, colon, and numerous tumors also modulates the transport properties of Na, K-ATPase but it has a lower specificity of association than other FXYD proteins and an unusual membrane topology. Finally, FXYD7 is exclusively expressed in the brain and decreases the apparent affinity for extracellular K(+), which may be essential for proper neuronal excitability.

Members of the FXYD protein family are small membrane proteins which are characterized by an FXYD motif, two conserved glycines and a serine residue. FXYD proteins show a tissue-specific distribution. Recent evidence suggests that 6 out of 7 FXYD proteins, FXYD1 (phospholemman), FXYD2 (gamma subunit of Na,K-ATPase), FXYD3 (Mat-8), FXYD4 (CHIF), FXYD5 (Ric) and FXYD7 associate with Na,K-ATPase and modulate its transport properties e.g. its Na+ and/or its K+ affinity in a distinct way. These results highlight the complex regulation of Na+ and K+ transport which is necessary to ensure proper tissue functions such as renal Na+-reabsorption, muscle contractility and neuronal excitability. Moreover, mutation of a conserved glycine residue into an arginine residue in FXYD2 has been linked to cases of human hypomagnesemia indicating that dysregulation of Na,K-ATPase by FXYD proteins may be implicated in pathophysiological states. A better characterization of this novel regulatory mechanism of Na,K-ATPase may help to better understand its role in physiological and pathophysiological conditions.

Six of 7 FXYD proteins have been shown to be tissue-specific modulators of Na,K-ATPase. In this study, we have identified two splice variants of human FXYD3, or Mat-8, in CaCo-2 cells. Short human FXYD3 has 72% sequence identity with mouse FXYD3, whereas long human FXYD3 is identical to short human FXYD3 but has a 26-amino acid insertion after the transmembrane domain. Short and long human FXYD3 RNAs and proteins are differentially expressed during differentiation of CaCo-2 cells. Long human FXYD3 is mainly expressed in nondifferentiated cells and short human FXYD3 in differentiated cells and both FXYD3 variants can be co-immunoprecipitated with a Na,K-ATPase antibody. In contrast to mouse FXYD3, which has two transmembrane domains for lack of cleavage of the signal peptide, human FXYD3 has a cleavable signal peptide and adopts a type I topology. After co-expression in Xenopus oocytes, both human FXYD3 variants associate stably only with Na,K-ATPase isozymes but not with H,K-ATPase or Ca-ATPase. Similar to mouse FXYD3, short human FXYD3 decreases the apparent K(+) and Na(+) affinity of Na,K-ATPase over a large range of membrane potentials. On the other hand, long human FXYD3 decreases the apparent K(+) affinity only at slightly negative and positive membrane potentials and increases the apparent Na(+) affinity of Na,K-ATPase. Finally, both short and long human FXYD3 induce a hyperpolarization activated current, similar to that induced by mouse FXYD3. Thus, we have characterized two human FXYD3 isoforms that are differentially expressed in differentiated and non-differentiated cells and show different functional properties.

FXYD3 (Mat-8) proteins are regulators of Na,K-ATPase. In normal tissue, FXYD3 is mainly expressed in stomach and colon, but it is also overexpressed in cancer cells, suggesting a role in tumorogenesis. We show that FXYD3 silencing has no effect on cell proliferation but promotes cell apoptosis and prevents cell differentiation of human colon adenocarcinoma cells (Caco-2), which is reflected by a reduction in alkaline phosphatase and villin expression, a change in several other differentiation markers, and a decrease in transepithelial resistance. Inhibition of cell differentiation in FXYD3-deficient cells is accompanied by an increase in the apparent Na+ and K+ affinities of Na,K-ATPase, reflecting the absence of Na,K-pump regulation by FXYD3. In addition, we observe a decrease in the maximal Na,K-ATPase activity due to a decrease in its turnover number, which correlates with a change in Na,K-ATPase isozyme expression that is characteristic of cancer cells. Overall, our results suggest an important role of FXYD3 in cell differentiation of Caco-2 cells. One possibility is that FXYD3 silencing prevents proper regulation of Na,K-ATPase, which leads to perturbation of cellular Na+ and K+ homeostasis and changes in the expression of Na,K-ATPase isozymes, whose functional properties are incompatible with Caco-2 cell differentiation.

FXYD3 is a FXYD-containing Na,K-ATPase ion channel regulator first identified as a protein overexpressed in murine breast tumors initiated by oncogenic ras or neu. However, our preliminary study revealed that FXYD3 expression was down-regulated in oncogenic KRAS-transduced airway epithelial cells. This contradiction led us to investigate the role of FXYD3 in carcinogenesis of the lung. FXYD3 mRNA and protein levels were lower in most of the lung cancer cell lines than in either the noncancerous lung tissue or airway epithelial cells. Protein levels were also lower in a considerable proportion of primary lung cancers than in nontumoral airway epithelia; FXYD3 expression levels decreased in parallel with the dedifferentiation process. Also, a somatic point mutation, g55c (D19H), was found in one cell line. Forced expression of the wild-type FXYD3, but not the mutant, restored the well-demarcated distribution of cortical actin in cancer cells that had lost FXYD3 expression, suggesting FXYD3 plays a role in the maintenance of cytoskeletal integrity. However, no association between FXYD3 expression and its promoter's methylation status was observed. Therefore, inactivation of FXYD3 through a gene mutation or unknown mechanism could be one cause of the atypical shapes of cancer cells and play a potential role in the progression of lung cancer.

FXYD3, interacting with Na+/K+-ATPase, is considered a cell surface regulator modulating the function of ion pumps and ion channels. The FXYD3 gene was originally cloned from murine mammary tumors and then from human breast tumors. However, no study of FXYD3 has been carried out in gliomas; therefore, we examined FXYD3 expression in gliomas and its clinicopathological significance. FXYD3 expression was immunohistochemically examined in 71 primary gliomas, along with 37 matched adjacent normal brain samples and 8 recurred gliomas. The frequency of strong FXYD3 expression was higher in the primary tumors in either unmatched (p = 0.046) or matched cases (p = 0.02), compared to normal brain tissue. FXYD3 expression was significantly more increased in females than males (p = 0.01), and in multiple site gliomas than single sites (p = 0.02). There was no difference of FXYD3 expression regarding age, tumor location, size, histological type, and tumor grade (p > 0.05). The results suggest that FXYD3 expression may be involved in glioma development, especially in multiple gliomas and female patients.

The intestinal tract is considered the most important reservoir of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in intensive care units (ICUs). Gut colonization by P. aeruginosa underlies the development of invasive infections such as gut-derived sepsis. Intestinal colonization by P. aeruginosa is associated with higher ICU mortality rates. The translocation of endogenous P. aeruginosa from the colonized intestinal tract is an important pathogenic phenomenon. Here we identify bacterial and host proteins associated with bacterial penetration through the intestinal epithelial barrier. We first show by comparative genomic hybridization analysis that the exoS gene, encoding the type III effector protein, ExoS, was specifically detected in a clinical isolate that showed higher virulence in silkworms following midgut injection. We further show using a silkworm oral infection model that exoS is required both for virulence and for bacterial translocation from the midgut to the hemolymph. Using a bacterial two-hybrid screen, we show that the mammalian factor FXYD3, which colocalizes with and regulates the function of Na,K-ATPase, directly binds ExoS. A pulldown assay revealed that ExoS binds to the transmembrane domain of FXYD3, which also interacts with Na,K-ATPase. Na,K-ATPase controls the structure and barrier function of tight junctions in epithelial cells. Collectively, our results suggest that ExoS facilitates P. aeruginosa penetration through the intestinal epithelial barrier by binding to FXYD3 and thereby impairing the defense function of tight junctions against bacterial penetration.
