The ATP-sensitive, inwardly rectifying K+ channel, ROMK, has been suggested to be the low-conductance ATP-sensitive K+ channel identified in apical membranes of mammalian renal thick ascending limb (TAL) and cortical collecting duct (CCD). Mutations in the human ROMK gene (KIR 1.2) have been identified in kindreds with neonatal Bartter's syndrome. In the present study, we generated polyclonal antibodies raised against both a COOH-terminal (amino acids 252-391) ROMK-maltose binding protein (MBP) fusion protein and an NH2-terminal (amino acids 34-49) ROMK peptide. Affinity-purified anti-ROMK COOH-terminal antibody detected the 45-kDa ROMK protein in kidney tissues and HEK-293 cells transfected with ROMK1 cDNA. The antibody also recognized 85- to 90-kDa proteins in kidney tissue; these higher molecular weight proteins were abolished by immunoabsorption with ROMK-MBP fusion protein and were also detected on Western blots using anti-ROMK NH2-terminal antibody. Immunofluoresence studies using anti-ROMK COOH-terminal antibody showed intense apical staining along the loop of Henle and distal nephron; staining with preimmune and immunoabsorbed serum was negative. When colocalized with distal nephron markers [the thiazide-sensitive cotransporter (rTSC1), the bumetanide-sensitive cotransporter (rBSC1), the vacuolar type H(+)-ATPase, and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS I)], the ROMK protein was found primarily at the apical border of cells in the TAL, macula densa, distal convoluted tubule, and connecting tubule. Within the CCD, the ROMK protein was expressed in principal cells and was absent from intercalated cells. The tubule localization and polarity of ROMK staining are consistent with the distribution of ROMK mRNA and provide more support for ROMK being the low-conductance K+ secretory channel in the rat distal nephron.

The H+-K+-ATPase of renal collecting duct mediates K+ conservation during chronic hypokalemia. K+ deprivation promotes H+-K+-ATPase alpha2 (HKalpha2) gene expression in the medullary collecting duct, the principal site of active K+ reabsorption, suggesting that this isozyme contributes to renal K+ reclamation. We report here that alternative transcriptional initiation and mRNA splicing give rise to distinct N-terminal variants of the HKalpha2 subunit. Sequence analysis and in vitro translation revealed that HKalpha2a corresponds to the known HKalpha2 cDNA (Crowson, M. S., and Shull, G. E. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 13740-13748), whereas HKalpha2b represents a novel variant truncated by 108 amino acids at its N terminus. HKalpha2b mRNA contains a complex 5'-untranslated region with eight upstream open reading frames, features implicated in translational regulation of other genes. Heterologous expression of HKalpha2b with and without the gastric H+-K+-ATPase beta subunit in HEK 293 cells indicated that this variant encodes a K+ uptake mechanism that is relatively Sch 28080-resistant, partially sensitive to ouabain, and appears to require coexpression with the gastric H+-K+-ATPase beta subunit for optimal functional activity. Northern analysis demonstrated that both subtypes (HKalpha2b > HKalpha2a) are expressed abundantly in distal colon and modestly in proximal colon and kidney. Moreover, the abundance of the two mRNAs increases coordinately among the renal zones, but not in colon, with chronic K+ deprivation. These results demonstrate the potential for complex control of HKalpha2 gene expression by transcriptional and posttranscriptional mechanisms not recognized in other members of the Na+-K+-ATPase/H+-K+-ATPase family.

We have used expression of chimeras between the structurally related Na,K- and H,K-ATPase alpha subunits to localize regions that determine Na,K-ATPase activity. Segments of the rat Na,K-ATPase alpha1 subunit were replaced by the corresponding portions of the rat gastric H,K-ATPase alpha subunit, and the constructs were transfected into ouabain-sensitive human HEK 293 cells. Using the ability to transfer ouabain resistance as a measure of sodium pump activity, we identified segments within the sodium pump that could be replaced with proton pump sequences without the loss of biological activity. These functionally interchangeable segments encompassed approximately 75% of the amino acid differences between the two transporters. Segments that could not be exchanged mapped to three discrete regions. One region spans residues 63-117 and includes the first transmembrane (TM) segment and a portion of the amino-terminal cytoplasmic domain. The second, from residue 320 to residue 413, encompasses TM 4 and a portion of the third cytoplasmic domain, while the third region (encompassing residues 735-861 and 898-953) includes several TM domains in the carboxyl-terminal portion of the ATPase. Our results suggest that functional differences between Na,K- and H,K-ATPase, including differences in ion transport specificity, are likely to reside within these noninterchangeable segments.

The alpha subunit of eukaryotic P-type ATPases has ten experimentally defined transmembrane or membrane inserted segments. The fifth and sixth of these are short, not predicted by hydropathy analysis, do not insert independently into microsomal membranes, and are readily removed after tryptic digestion and therefore may be membrane inserted sequences. Acid transport by the gastric H, K-ATPase is covalently inhibited by several substituted pyridyl methylsulfinyl benzimidazoles, such as omeprazole. These act as probes of accessible extracytoplasmic thiols because they are accumulated in the acid transporting gastric vesicles and then convert to thiol reactive, cationic tetracyclic sulfenamides. Inhibition is due mainly to disulfide formation with Cys813 or Cys822 in M5/6 and perhaps with a contribution from Cys892 in the loop between transmembrane segment (TM) 7 and TM8. Identification of the specific cysteine responsible for inhibition should be able to define the turn between M5 and M6. The gastric H,K-ATPase alpha-beta heterodimer was expressed as a fusion protein in HEK 293 cells. Transient transfection resulted in most of the protein being retained in the endoplasmic reticulum with only core glycosylation and minor activity of the ATPase evident. Stable transfection resulted in plasma membrane localization of the protein and complex glycosylation. The transfected but not the control cells displayed cation-stimulated, SCH 28080-inhibited ATPase activity and SCH 28080- and omeprazole-inhibited 86Rb uptake. The two cysteines in M5/6 and Cys892 in the TM7/8 loop were mutated to the amino acids found in the Na,K-ATPase in order to determine which of the three cysteine residues were important for benzimidazole inhibition. Mutation of one, two, or all three cysteines did not alter enzyme activity, 86Rb transport, or SCH 28080 inhibition. Only removal of Cys822 blocked omeprazole inhibition of 86Rb transport. These data suggest that Cys822 is present in a region of the enzyme most easily accessed by the cationic sulfenamide formed by omeprazole, presumably the turn between M5 and M6.

A guinea pig cDNA encoding the putative colonic H+-K+-ATPase alpha-subunit (T. Watanabe, M. Sato, K. Kaneko, T. Suzuki, T. Yoshida, and Y. Suzuki; GenBank accession no. D21854) was functionally expressed in HEK-293, a human kidney cell line. The cDNA for the putative colonic H+-K+-ATPase was cotransfected with cDNA for either rabbit gastric H+-K+-ATPase or Torpedo Na+-K+-ATPase beta-subunit. In both expressions, Na+-independent, K+-dependent ATPase (K+-ATPase) activity was detected in the membrane fraction of the cells, with a Michaelis-Menten constant for K+ of 0.68 mM. The expressed K+-ATPase activity was inhibited by ouabain, with its IC50 value being 52 microM. However, the activity was resistant to Sch-28080, an inhibitor specific for gastric H+-K+-ATPase. The ATPase was not functionally expressed in the absence of the beta-subunits. Therefore, it is concluded that the cDNA encodes the catalytic subunit (alpha-subunit) of the colonic H+-K+-ATPase. Although the beta-subunit of the colonic H+-K+-ATPase has not been identified yet, both gastric H+-K+-ATPase and Na+-K+-ATPase beta-subunits were found to act as a surrogate for the colonic beta-subunit for the functional expression of the ATPase. The present colonic H+-K+-ATPase first expressed in mammalian cells showed the highest ouabain sensitivity in expressed colonic H+-K+-ATPases so far reported (rat colonic in Xenopus oocytes had an IC50 = 0.4-1 mM; rat colonic in Sf9 cells had no ouabain sensitivity).

Phospholamban (PLB), a 52-amino acid integral membrane protein, regulates the Ca-ATPase (calcium pump) in cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum through PLB phosphorylation mediated by beta-adrenergic stimulation. Based on site-directed mutagenesis and coexpression with Ca-ATPase (SERCA2a) in Sf21 insect cells or in HEK 293 cells, and on spin label detection of PLB oligomeric state in lipid bilayers, it has been proposed that the monomeric form of PLB is the inhibitory species, and depolymerization of PLB is essential for its regulatory function. Here we have studied the relationship between PLB oligomeric state and function by in vitro co-reconstitution of PLB and its mutants with purified Ca-ATPase. We compared wild type-PLB (wt-PLB), which is primarily a pentamer on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) at 25 degrees C, with two of its mutants, C41L-PLB and L37A-PLB, that are primarily tetramer and monomer, respectively. We found that the monomeric mutant L37A-PLB is a more potent inhibitor than wt-PLB, supporting the previous proposal that PLB monomer is the inhibitory species. On the other hand, C41L-PLB, which has a monomeric fraction comparable to that of wt-PLB on SDS-PAGE at 25 degrees C, has no inhibitory activity when assayed at 25 degrees C. However, at 37 degrees C, a 3-fold increase in the monomeric fraction of C41L-PLB on SDS-PAGE resulted in inhibitory activity comparable to that of wt-PLB. Upon increasing the temperature from 25 to 37 degrees C, no change in fraction monomer or inhibitory activity for wt-PLB and L37A-PLB was observed. Based on these results, the extent of inhibition of Ca-ATPase by PLB or its mutants appears to depend not only on the propensity of PLB to dissociate into monomers but also on the relative potency of the particular PLB monomer when interacting with the Ca-ATPase.

Previous studies have demonstrated that beta-arrestin1 serves to target G protein-coupled receptors for internalization via clathrin-coated pits and that its endocytic function is regulated by dephosphorylation at the plasma membrane. Using the yeast two-hybrid system, we have identified a novel beta-arrestin1-binding protein, NSF (N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein), an ATPase essential for many intracellular transport reactions. We demonstrate that purified recombinant beta-arrestin1 and NSF interact in vitro and that these proteins can be coimmunoprecipitated from cells. beta-Arrestin1-NSF complex formation exhibits a conformational dependence with beta-arrestin1 preferentially interacting with the ATP bound form of NSF. In contrast to the beta-arrestin1-clathrin interaction, however, the phosphorylation state of beta-arrestin1 does not affect NSF binding. Functionally, overexpression of NSF in HEK 293 cells significantly enhances agonist-mediated beta2-adrenergic receptor (beta2-AR) internalization. Furthermore, when coexpressed with a beta-arrestin1 mutant (betaarr1S412D) that mimics a constitutively phosphorylated form of beta-arrestin1 and that acts as a dominant negative with regards to beta2-AR internalization, NSF rescues the betaarr1S412D-mediated inhibition of beta2-AR internalization. The demonstration of beta-arrestin1-NSF complex formation and the functional consequences of NSF overexpression suggest a hitherto unappreciated role for NSF in facilitating clathrin coat-mediated G protein-coupled receptor internalization.

The functional role of the gamma subunit of the Na,K-ATPase was studied using rat gamma cDNA-transfected HEK-293 cells and an antiserum (gammaC33) specific for gamma. Although the sequence for gamma was verified and shown to be larger (7237 Da) than first reported, it still comprises a single initiator methionine despite the expression of a gammaC33-reactive doublet on immunoblots. Kinetic analysis of the enzyme of transfected compared with control cells and of gammaC33-treated kidney pumps shows that gamma regulates the apparent affinity for ATP. Thus, gamma-transfected cells have a decreased K'ATP as shown in measurements of (i) K'ATP of Na,K-ATPase activity and (ii) K+ inhibition of Na-ATPase at 1 microM ATP. Consistent with the behavior of gamma-transfected cells, gammaC33 pretreatment increases K'ATP of the kidney enzyme and K+ inhibition (1 microM ATP) of both kidney and gamma-transfected cells. These results are consistent with previous findings that an antiserum raised against the pig gamma subunit stabilizes the E2(K) form of the enzyme (Therien, A. G., Goldshleger, R., Karlish, S. J., and Blostein, R. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 32628-32634). Overall, our data demonstrate that gamma is a tissue (kidney)-specific regulator of the Na,K-ATPase that can increase the apparent affinity of the enzyme for ATP in a manner that is reversible by anti-gamma antiserum.

The Na-K/H-K-ATPase gene family is divided in three subgroups including the Na-K-ATPases, mainly involved in whole body and cellular ion homeostasis, the gastric H-K-ATPase involved in gastric fluid acidification, and the newly described nongastric H-K-ATPases for which the identification of physiological roles is still in its infancy. The first member of this last subfamily was first identified in 1992, rapidly followed by the molecular cloning of several other members. The relationship between each member remains unclear. The functional properties of these H-K-ATPases have been studied after their ex vivo expression in various functional expression systems, including the Xenopus laevis oocyte, the insect Sf9 cell line, and the human HEK 293 cells. All these H-K-ATPase alpha-subunits appear to encode H-K-ATPases when exogenously expressed in such expression systems. Recent data suggest that these H-K-ATPases could also transport Na+ in exchange for K+, revealing a complex cation transport selectivity. Moreover, they display a unique pharmacological profile compared with the canonical Na-K-ATPases or the gastric H-K-ATPase. In addition to their molecular and functional characterizations, a major goal is to correlate the molecular expression of these cloned H-K-ATPases with the native K-ATPases activities described in vivo. This appears to be more complex than anticipated. The discrepancies between the functional data obtained by exogenous expression of the nongastric H-K-ATPases and the physiological data obtained in native organs could have several explanations as discussed in the present review. Extensive studies will be required in the future to better understand the physiological role of these H-K-ATPases, especially in disease processes including ionic or acid-base disorders.

Gastric H(+),K(+)-ATPase consists of alpha-subunit with 10 transmembrane domains and beta-subunit with a single transmembrane domain. We constructed cDNAs encoding chimeric beta-subunits between the gastric H(+),K(+)-ATPase and Na(+),K(+)-ATPase beta-subunits and co-transfected them with the H(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit cDNA in HEK-293 cells. A chimeric beta-subunit that consists of the cytoplasmic plus transmembrane domains of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase beta-subunit and the ectodomain of H(+),K(+)-ATPase beta-subunit assembled with the H(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit and expressed the K(+)-ATPase activity. Therefore, the whole cytoplasmic and transmembrane domains of H(+),K(+)-ATPase beta-subunit were replaced by those of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase beta-subunit without losing the enzyme activity. However, most parts of the ectodomain of H(+),K(+)-ATPase beta-subunit were not replaced by the corresponding domains of Na(+), K(+)-ATPase beta-subunit. Interestingly, the extracellular segment between Cys(152) and Cys(178), which contains the second disulfide bond, was exchangeable between H(+),K(+)-ATPase and Na(+), K(+)-ATPase, preserving the K(+)-ATPase activity intact. Furthermore, the K(+)-ATPase activity was preserved when the N-terminal first 4 amino acids ((67)DPYT(70)) in the ectodomain of H(+),K(+)-ATPase beta-subunit were replaced by the corresponding amino acids ((63)SDFE(66)) of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase beta-subunit. The ATPase activity was abolished, however, when 4 amino acids ((76)QLKS(79)) in the ectodomain of H(+),K(+)-ATPase beta-subunit were replaced by the counterpart ((72)RVAP(75)) of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase beta-subunit, indicating that this region is the most N-terminal one that discriminates the H(+),K(+)-ATPase beta-subunit from that of Na(+), K(+)-ATPase.
