ATP8B1/FIC1 is a member of the Type IV P-type ATPase family, which function as ATP dependent aminophospholipid translocases (APLT). We identified two familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 1 (FIC1) homologues, ATP8B2 and ATP8B3, with 53% and 45% amino acid identity, respectively. The expression profile for each gene was determined using a 73-tissue human RNA expression array. The subfamily of FIC1-like proteins is expressed in a wide range of tissues. Given that mutations in FIC1 result in liver disease, these proteins may have important roles in other organs in which they are candidates for genetic and acquired diseases.

Members of the P(4) family of P-type ATPases (P(4)-ATPases) are believed to function as phospholipid flippases in complex with CDC50 proteins. Mutations in the human class 1 P(4)-ATPase gene ATP8B1 cause a severe syndrome characterized by impaired bile flow (intrahepatic cholestasis), often leading to end-stage liver failure in childhood. In this study, we determined the specificity of human class 1 P(4)-ATPase interactions with CDC50 proteins and the functional consequences of these interactions on protein abundance and localization of both protein classes. ATP8B1 and ATP8B2 co-immunoprecipitated with CDC50A and CDC50B, whereas ATP8B4, ATP8A1, and ATP8A2 associated only with CDC50A. ATP8B1 shifted from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the plasma membrane upon coexpression of CDC50A or CDC50B. ATP8A1 and ATP8A2 translocated from the ER to the Golgi complex and plasma membrane upon coexpression of CDC50A, but not CDC50B. ATP8B2 and ATP8B4 already displayed partial plasma membrane localization in the absence of CDC50 coexpression but displayed a large increase in plasma membrane abundance upon coexpression of CDC50A. ATP8B3 did not bind CDC50A and CDC50B and was invariably present in the ER. Our data show that interactions between CDC50 proteins and class 1 P(4)-ATPases are essential for ER exit and stability of both subunits. Furthermore, the subcellular localization of the complex is determined by the P(4)-ATPase, not the CDC50 protein. The interactions of CDC50A and CDC50B with multiple members of the human P(4)-ATPase family suggest that these proteins perform broader functions in human physiology than thus far assumed.

Type IV P-type ATPases (P4-ATPases) are believed to translocate aminophospholipids from the exoplasmic to the cytoplasmic leaflets of cellular membranes. The yeast P4-ATPases, Drs2p and Dnf1p/Dnf2p, flip nitrobenzoxadiazole-labeled phosphatidylserine at the Golgi complex and nitrobenzoxadiazole-labeled phosphatidylcholine (PC) at the plasma membrane, respectively. However, the flippase activities and substrate specificities of mammalian P4-ATPases remain incompletely characterized. In this study, we established an assay for phospholipid flippase activities of plasma membrane-localized P4-ATPases using human cell lines stably expressing ATP8B1, ATP8B2, ATP11A, and ATP11C. We found that ATP11A and ATP11C have flippase activities toward phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine but not PC or sphingomyelin. By contrast, ATPase-deficient mutants of ATP11A and ATP11C did not exhibit any flippase activity, indicating that these enzymes catalyze flipping in an ATPase-dependent manner. Furthermore, ATP8B1 and ATP8B2 exhibited preferential flippase activities toward PC. Some ATP8B1 mutants found in patients of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 1 (PFIC1), a severe liver disease caused by impaired bile flow, failed to translocate PC despite their delivery to the plasma membrane. Moreover, incorporation of PC mediated by ATP8B1 can be reversed by simultaneous expression of ABCB4, a PC floppase mutated in PFIC3 patients. Our findings elucidate the flippase activities and substrate specificities of plasma membrane-localized human P4-ATPases and suggest that phenotypes of some PFIC1 patients result from impairment of the PC flippase activity of ATP8B1.

P4-ATPases, a subfamily of P-type ATPases, were initially identified as aminophospholipid translocases in eukaryotic membranes. These proteins generate and maintain membrane lipid asymmetry by translocating aminophospholipids (phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine) from the exoplasmic/lumenal leaflet to the cytoplasmic leaflet. The human genome encodes 14 P4-ATPases, and the cellular localizations, substrate specificities, and cellular roles of these proteins were recently revealed. Numerous P4-ATPases, including ATP8A1, ATP8A2, ATP11A, ATP11B, and ATP11C, transport phosphatidylserine. By contrast, ATP8B1, ATP8B2, and ATP10A transport phosphatidylcholine but not aminophospholipids, although there is a discrepancy regarding the substrate of ATP8B1 in the literature. Some yeast and plant P4-ATPases can also translocate phosphatidylcholine. At least 2 P4-ATPases (ATP8A2 and ATP8B1) are associated with severe human diseases, and other P4-ATPases are implicated in various pathophysiologic conditions in mouse models. Here, we discuss the cellular functions of phosphatidylcholine flippases and suggest a model for the phenotype of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis 1 caused by a defect in ATP8B1.-Shin, H.-W., Takatsu, H.
