Abstract: | Active K absorption in the rat distal colon is energizedby an apical H-K-ATPase, a member of the gene family of P-type ATPases. The H-K-ATPase -subunit (HKc) has been cloned and characterized (together with the -subunit of either Na-K-ATPase or gastric H-K-ATPase) in Xenopus oocytes as ouabain-sensitive86Rb uptake. In contrast, HKc, when expressed in Sf9cells without a -subunit, yielded evidence of ouabain-insensitiveH-K-ATPase. Because a -subunit (HKc) has recently been clonedfrom rat colon, this present study was initiated to determine whetherH-K-ATPase and its sensitivity to ouabain are expressed when these twosubunits (HKc and HKc) are transfected into a mammalian cellexpression system. Transfection of HEK-293 cells with HKc and HKccDNAs resulted in the expression of HKc and HKc proteins andtheir delivery to plasma membranes. H-K-ATPase activity was identified in crude plasma membranes prepared from transfected cells and was1) saturable as a function of increasing K concentration with aKm for K of 0.63 mM; 2) inhibited byorthovanadate; and 3) insensitive to both ouabain andSch-28080. In parallel transfection studies with HKc and Na-K-ATPase1 cDNAs and with HKc cDNA alone, there was expression ofouabain-insensitive H-K-ATPase activity that was 60% and 21% of thatin HKc/HKc cDNA transfected cells, respectively. Ouabain-insensitive 86Rb uptake was also identified incells transfected with HKc and HKc cDNAs. These studies establishthat HKc cDNA with HKc cDNA express ouabain-insensitiveH-K-ATPase similar to that identified in rat distal colon. |
