The enzymatic activity of the Na,K-ATPase, or sodium pump, is modulated by members of the so-called FXYD family of transmembrane proteins. The best characterized member, FXYD2, also referred to as the gamma subunit, has been shown to decrease the apparent Na+ affinity and increase the apparent ATP affinity of the pump. The effect on ATP affinity had been ascribed to the cytoplasmic C-terminal end of the protein, whereas recent observations suggest that the transmembrane (TM) segment of gamma mediates the Na+ affinity effect. Here we use a novel approach involving synthetic transmembrane mimetic peptides to demonstrate unequivocally that the TM domain of gamma effects the shift in apparent Na+ affinity. Specifically, we show that incubation of these peptides with membranes containing alphabeta pumps modulates Na+ affinity in a manner similar to transfected full-length gamma subunit. Using mutated gamma peptides and transfected proteins, we also show that a specific glycine residue, Gly-41, which is associated with a form of familial renal hypomagnesemia when mutated to Arg, is important for this kinetic effect, whereas Gly-35, located on an alternate face of the transmembrane helix, is not. The peptide approach allows for the analysis of mutants that fail to be expressed in a transfected system.

Short-term aldosterone coordinately regulates the cell-surface expression of luminal epithelial sodium channels (ENaC) and of basolateral Na(+) pumps (Na(+), K(+)-ATPase alpha1-beta1) in aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron (ASDN) cells. To address the question of whether the subcellular localization of the Na(+), K(+)-ATPase and its regulation by aldosterone depend on subunit isoform-specific structures, we expressed the cardiotonic steroid-sensitive human alpha isoforms 1-3 by retroviral transduction in mouse collecting duct mpkCCD(c14) cells. Each of the three exogenous human isoforms could be detected by Western blotting. Immunofluorescence indicated that the exogenous alpha1 subunit to a large extent localizes to the basolateral membrane or close to it, whereas much of the alpha2 subunit remains intracellular. An ouabain-sensitive current carried by exogenous pumps could be detected in apically amphotericin B-permeabilized epithelia expressing human alpha1 and alpha2 subunits, but not the alpha3 subunit. This current displayed a higher apparent Na(+) affinity in pumps containing human alpha2 subunits (10 mM) than in pumps containing human alpha1 (33.2 mM) or endogenous (cardiotonic steroid-resistant) mouse alpha1 subunits (mean: 16.3 mM). A very low mRNA level of the Na(+), K(+)-ATPase gamma subunit (FXYD2) in mpkCCD(c14) cells suggested that this ancillary gene product is not responsible for the relatively low apparent Na(+) affinity measured for a1 subunit-containing pumps. Aldosterone increased the pump current carried by endogenous pumps and by pumps containing the human alpha1 subunit. In contrast, the current carried by pumps with a human alpha2 subunit was not stimulated by the same treatment. In summary, quantitative basolateral localization of the Na(+), K(+)-ATPase and its responsiveness to aldosterone require alpha1 subunit-specific sequences that differentiate this isoform from the alpha2 and alpha3 subunit isoforms.

The brain-specific FXYD7 is a member of the recently defined FXYD family that associates with the alpha1-beta1 Na,K-ATPase isozyme and induces an about 2-fold decrease in its apparent K+ affinity. By using the Xenopus oocyte as an expression system, we have investigated the role of conserved and FXYD7-specific amino acids in the cellular routing of FXYD7 and in its association with and regulation of Na,K-ATPase. In contrast to FXYD2 and FXYD4, the studies on FXYD7 show that the conserved FXYD motif in the extracytoplasmic domain is not involved in the efficient association of FXYD7 with Na,K-ATPase. On the other hand, the conserved Gly40 and Gly29, located on the same face of the transmembrane helix, were found to be implicated both in the association with and the regulation of Na,K-ATPase. Mutational analysis of FXYD7-specific regions revealed the presence of an ER export signal at the end of the cytoplasmic tail. Deletion of a C-terminal valine residue in FXYD7 significantly delayed and decreased its O-glycosylation processing and retarded the rate of its cell surface expression. This result indicates that the C-terminal valine residue is involved in the rapid and selective ER export of FXYD7, which could explain the observed post-translational association of FXYD7 with Na,K-ATPase. In conclusion, our study on FXYD7 provides new information on structural determinants of general importance for FXYD protein action. Moreover, FXYD7 is identified as a new member of proteins with a regulated ER export, which suggests that, among FXYD proteins, FXYD7 has a particular regulatory function in brain.

Several members of the FXYD protein family are tissue-specific regulators of Na,K-ATPase that produce distinct effects on its apparent K(+) and Na(+) affinity. Little is known about the interaction sites between the Na,K-ATPase alpha subunit and FXYD proteins that mediate the efficient association and/or the functional effects of FXYD proteins. In this study, we have analyzed the role of the transmembrane segment TM9 of the Na,K-ATPase alpha subunit in the structural and functional interaction with FXYD2, FXYD4, and FXYD7. Mutational analysis combined with expression in Xenopus oocytes reveals that Phe(956), Glu(960), Leu(964), and Phe(967) in TM9 of the Na,K-ATPase alpha subunit represent one face interacting with the three FXYD proteins. Leu(964) and Phe(967) contribute to the efficient association of FXYD proteins with the Na,K-ATPase alpha subunit, whereas Phe(956) and Glu(960) are essential for the transmission of the functional effect of FXYD proteins on the apparent K(+) affinity of Na,K-ATPase. The relative contribution of Phe(956) and Glu(960) to the K(+) effect differs for different FXYD proteins, probably reflecting the intrinsic differences of FXYD proteins on the apparent K(+) affinity of Na,K-ATPase. In contrast to the effect on the apparent K(+) affinity, Phe(956) and Glu(960) are not involved in the effect of FXYD2 and FXYD4 on the apparent Na(+) affinity of Na,K-ATPase. The mutational analysis is in good agreement with a docking model of the Na,K-ATPase/FXYD7 complex, which also predicts the importance of Phe(956), Glu(960), Leu(964), and Phe(967) in subunit interaction. In conclusion, by using mutational analysis and modeling, we show that TM9 of the Na,K-ATPase alpha subunit exposes one face of the helix that interacts with FXYD proteins and contributes to the stable interaction with FXYD proteins, as well as mediating the effect of FXYD proteins on the apparent K(+) affinity of Na,K-ATPase.

In kidney, the Na,K-ATPase is associated with a single span protein, the gamma subunit (FXYD2). Two splice variants are differentially expressed along the nephron and have a differential influence on Na,K-ATPase when stably expressed in mammalian cells in culture. Here we used a combination of gene induction and gene silencing techniques to test the functional impact of gamma by means other than transfection. NRK-52E cells (of proximal tubule origin) do not express gamma as a protein under regular tissue culture conditions. However, when they were exposed to hyperosmotic medium, induction of only the gammaa splice variant was observed, which was accompanied by a reduction in the rate of cell division. Kinetic analysis of stable enzyme properties from control (alpha1beta1) and hypertonicity-treated cultures (alpha1beta1gammaa) revealed a significant reduction (up to 60%) of Na,K-ATPase activity measured under V(max) conditions with little or no change in the amounts of alpha1beta1. This effect as well as the reduction in cell growth rate was practically abolished when gamma expression was knocked down using specific small interfering RNA duplexes. Surprisingly, a similar induction of endogenous gammaa because of hypertonicity was seen in rat cell lines of other than renal origin: C6 (glioma), PC12 (pheochromocytoma), and L6 (myoblasts). Furthermore, exposure of NRK-52E cells to other stress inducers such as heat shock, exogenous oxidation, and chemical stress also resulted in a selective induction of gammaa. Taken together, the data imply that induction of gammaa may have adaptive value by being a part of a general cellular response to genotoxic stress.

The proteolytic profile after mild controlled trypsin cleavage of shark rectal gland Na,K-ATPase was characterized and compared to that of pig kidney Na,K-ATPase, and conditions for achieving N-terminal cleavage of the alpha-subunit at the T(2) trypsin cleavage site were established. Using such conditions, the shark enzyme N-terminus was much more susceptible to proteolysis than the pig enzyme. Nevertheless, the maximum hydrolytic activity was almost unaffected for the shark enzyme, whereas it was significantly decreased for the pig kidney enzyme. The apparent ATP affinity was unchanged for shark but increased for pig enzyme after N-terminal truncation. The main common effect following N-terminal truncation of shark and pig Na,K-ATPase is a shift in the E(1)-E(2) conformational equilibrium toward E(1). The phosphorylation and the main rate-limiting E(2) --> E(1) step are both accelerated after N-terminal truncation of the shark enzyme, but decreased significantly in the pig kidney enzyme. Some of the kinetic differences, like the acceleration of the phosphorylation reaction, following N-terminal truncation of the two preparations may be due to the fact that under the conditions used for N-terminal truncation, the C-terminal domain of the FXYD regulatory protein of the shark enzyme, PLMS or FXYD10, was also cleaved, whereas the gamma or FXYD2 of the pig enzyme was not. In the shark enzyme, N-terminal truncation of the alpha-subunit abolished association of exogenous PLMS with the alpha-subunit and the functional interactions were abrogated. Moreover, PKC phosphorylation of the preparation, which relieves PLMS inhibition of Na,K-ATPase activity, exposed the N-terminal trypsin cleavage site. It is suggested that PLMS interacts functionally with the N-terminus of the shark Na,K-ATPase to control the E(1)-E(2) conformational transition of the enzyme and that such interactions may be controlled by regulatory protein kinase phosphorylation of the N-terminus. Such interactions are likely in shark enzyme where PLMS has been demonstrated by cross-linking to associate with the Na,K-ATPase A-domain.

Interactions of rat FXYD4 (corticosteroid hormone-induced factor (CHIF)), FXYD2 (gamma), or FXYD1 (phospholemman (PLM)) proteins with rat alpha1 subunits of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase have been analyzed by co-immunoprecipitation and covalent cross-linking. In detergent-solubilized membranes from HeLa cells expressing both gamma and CHIF or CHIF and hemagglutinin A-tagged CHIF, mixed complexes of CHIF and gamma or CHIF and hemagglutinin A-tagged CHIF with alpha/beta subunits are undetectable. This implies that the alpha/beta/FXYD protomer is the major species in detergent solution. A lipid-soluble cysteine-cysteine bifunctional reagent, dibromobimane, cross-links CHIF to alpha in colonic membranes but not gamma or PLM to alpha in kidney or heart membranes, respectively. Sequence comparisons of the FXYD proteins suggested that Cys-49 in the trans-membrane segment of CHIF could be involved. In detergent-solubilized HeLa cell membranes, dibromobimane cross-links wild-type CHIF to alpha but not the C49F mutant, and also the corresponding F36C mutant but not wild-type gammab, and F48C but not wild-type PLM. C140S, C338A, C804A, and C966S mutants of the alpha subunit have been expressed. Only the C140S mutant prevents cross-linking with CHIF. The data demonstrated the proximity of trans-membrane segments of CHIF, gamma, and PLM to M2 of alpha. Molecular modeling is consistent with location of the trans-membrane segment of all FXYD proteins between M2, M6, and M9 and the proximity of Cys-49 of CHIF or Phe-36 of gamma with Cys-140 of M2. Cross-linking also demonstrated CHIF-alpha and CHIF-beta proximities in extra-membrane regions, similar to the evidence for gamma-alpha and gamma-beta cross-links.

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.

The recent discovery of a family of single-span membrane proteins (the FXYD proteins) introduced a new direction to the rather complicated area of regulation of Na, K-ATPase. At least six members of the family have been shown to associate with the Na, K-ATPase in a cell- and tissue-specific manner, while four of them, namely the gamma subunit (FXYD2), CHIF (FXYD4), phospholemman (FXYD1), and dysadherin (FXYD5) have been identified in kidney. All four exhibited different effects on the properties of the pump in heterologous expression systems. Taken along with their non-overlapping expression patterns in the nephron, this provides a potential structural basis for the segment-specific properties of the Na, K-ATPase that had been reported in a number of papers on kidney physiology. This brief review summarizes our own contributions on structure/functional characterization of one of the family members, the gamma subunit (FXYD2). The focus is on splice variants of gamma, their structural similarity and yet distinct effects conferred to Na, K-ATPase.

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.
