Dopamine (DA) increases Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity in lung alveolar epithelial cells. This effect is associated with an increase in Na(+),K(+)-ATPase molecules within the plasma membrane (). Analysis of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase motion was performed in real-time in alveolar cells stably expressing Na(+),K(+)-ATPase molecules carrying a fluorescent tag (green fluorescent protein) in the alpha-subunit. The data demonstrate a distinct (random walk) pattern of basal movement of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase-containing vesicles in nontreated cells. DA increased the directional movement (by 3.5 fold) of the vesicles and an increase in their velocity (by 25%) that consequently promoted the incorporation of vesicles into the plasma membrane. The movement of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase-containing vesicles and incorporation into the plasma membrane were microtubule dependent, and disruption of this network perturbed vesicle motion toward the plasma membrane and prevented the increase in the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity induced by DA. Thus, recruitment of new Na(+),K(+)-ATPase molecules into the plasma membrane appears to be a major mechanism by which dopamine increases total cell Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity.  相似文献

Renal sodium homeostasis is a major determinant of blood pressure and is regulated by several natriuretic and antinatriuretic hormones. These hormones, acting through intracellular second messengers, either activate or inhibit proximal tubule Na(+),K(+)-ATPase. We have shown previously that phorbol ester (PMA) stimulation of endogenous PKC leads to activation of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase in cultured proximal tubule cells (OK cells) expressing the rodent Na(+), K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit. We have now demonstrated that the treatment with PMA leads to an increased amount of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase molecules in the plasmalemma, which is proportional to the increased enzyme activity. Colchicine, dinitrophenol, and potassium cyanide prevented the PMA-dependent stimulation of activity without affecting the increased level of phosphorylation of the Na(+), K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit. This suggests that phosphorylation does not directly stimulate Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity; instead, phosphorylation may be the triggering mechanism for recruitment of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase molecules to the plasma membrane. Transfected cells expressing either an S11A or S18A mutant had the same basal Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity as cells expressing the wild-type rodent alpha-subunit, but PMA stimulation of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity was completely abolished in either mutant. PMA treatment led to phosphorylation of the alpha-subunit by stimulation of PKC-beta, and the extent of this phosphorylation was greatly reduced in the S11A and S18A mutants. These results indicate that both Ser11 and Ser18 of the alpha-subunit are essential for PMA stimulation of Na(+), K(+)-ATPase activity, and that these amino acids are phosphorylated during this process. The results presented here support the hypothesis that PMA regulation of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase is the result of an increased number of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase molecules in the plasma membrane.  相似文献

The teleost pseudobranch is a gill-like structure often fused to the anterior of the opercular cavity. Pseudobranch cells are mitochondria rich and have high levels of Na(+), K(+)-ATPase activity. In this study, pseudobranch Na(+), K(+)-ATPase activity in juvenile chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) was compared to gill Na(+), K(+)-ATPase activity, a known marker of parr-smolt transformation, in three experiments. In two stocks of New Zealand chinook salmon, pseudobranch Na(+), K(+)-ATPase activity was found to significantly increase during development. At these times gill Na(+), K(+)-ATPase activity was also elevated. Pseudobranch Na(+), K(+)-ATPase activity did not increase 10 days after transfer from fresh water to 34 ppt seawater, a treatment that resulted in a twofold increase in gill Na(+), K(+)-ATPase activity. Cortisol (50 microg/g) and ovine growth hormone (5 microg/g) implants had no effect on pseudobranch Na(+), K(+)-ATPase activity in underyearling chinook salmon, while gill Na(+), K(+)-ATPase activity was stimulated by each hormone. In yearling chinook salmon, only cortisol stimulated pseudobranch Na(+), K(+)-ATPase activity 14 days post-implantation. It was concluded that the pseudobranch differs from the gill in terms of the regulation of Na(+), K(+)-ATPase activity and a role during adaptation to seawater is likely to be limited.  相似文献

The Na(+),K(+)-ATPase is the major active transport protein found in the plasma membranes of most epithelial cell types. The regulation of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity involves a variety of mechanisms, including regulated endocytosis and recycling. Our efforts to identify novel Na(+),K(+)-ATPase binding partners revealed a direct association between the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase and AS160, a Rab-GTPase-activating protein. In COS cells, coexpression of AS160 and Na(+),K(+)-ATPase led to the intracellular retention of the sodium pump. We find that AS160 interacts with the large cytoplasmic NP domain of the α-subunit of the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase. Inhibition of the activity of the adenosine monophosphate-stimulated protein kinase (AMPK) in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells through treatment with Compound C induces Na(+),K(+)-ATPase endocytosis. This effect of Compound C is prevented through the short hairpin RNA-mediated knockdown of AS160, demonstrating that AMPK and AS160 participate in a common pathway to modulate the cell surface expression of the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase.  相似文献

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.  相似文献

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) inhibits Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity through protein kinase C- (PKC) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase- (ERK) dependent pathways and increases serine phosphorylation of the alpha(1)-subunit. To determine whether specific serine phosphorylation sites within the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha(1)-subunit are involved in the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase responses to PTH, we examined the effect of PTH in opossum kidney cells stably transfected with wild type rat Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha(1)-subunit (WT), serine 11 to alanine mutant alpha(1)-subunit (S11A), or serine 18 to alanine mutant alpha(1)-subunit (S18A). PTH increased phosphorylation and endocytosis of the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha(1)-subunit into clathrin-coated vesicles in cells transfected with WT and S18A rat Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha(1)-subunits. PTH did not increase the level of phosphorylation or stimulate translocation of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha(1)-subunits into clathrin-coated vesicles in cells transfected with the S11A mutant. PTH inhibited ouabain-sensitive (86)Rb uptake and Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity (ouabain-sensitive ATP hydrolysis) in WT- and S18A-transfected opossum kidney cells but not in S11A-transfected cells. Pretreatment of the cells with the PKC inhibitors and ERK inhibitor blocked PTH inhibition of (86)Rb uptake, Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity, alpha(1)-subunit phosphorylation, and endocytosis in WT and S18A cells. Consistent with the notion that ERK phosphorylates Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha(1)-subunit, ERK was shown to be capable of causing phosphorylation of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha(1)-subunit immunoprecipitated from WT and S18A but not from S11A-transfected cells. These results suggest that PTH regulates Na(+),K(+)-ATPase by PKC and ERK-dependent alpha(1)-subunit phosphorylation and that the phosphorylation requires the expression of a serine at the 11 position of the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha(1)-subunit.  相似文献

We examined the ontogeny of the osmoregulatory sites of the branchial cavity in embryonic and early postembryonic stages of the European lobster Homarus gammarus through transmission electron microscopy, immunofluorescence microscopy, and immunogold electron microscopy using a monoclonal antibody IgGalpha(5) raised against the avian alpha-subunit of the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase. In mid-late embryos, Na(+),K(+)-ATPase was located along the pleurites and within the epipodite buds. In late embryos just before hatching, the enzyme was confined to the epipodite epithelia. After hatching, slight differentiations of ionocytes occured in the epipodites of larval stages. Na(+),K(+)-ATPase was also located in the ionocytes of the epipodites of larvae exposed to seawater (35.%o) and to dilute seawater (22.1 %o). After metamorphosis, the inner-side branchiostegite epithelium appeared as an additional site of enzyme location in postlarvae held in dilute seawater. Within the ionocytes, Na(+),K(+)-ATPase was mostly located along the basolateral infoldings. These observations are discussed in relation to the physiological shift from osmoconforming larvae to slightly hyper-regulating (in dilute seawater) postmetamorphic stages. The acquisition of the ability to hyper-osmoregulate probably originates from the differentiation, on the epipodites and mainly along the branchiostegites, of ionocytes that are the site of ion pumping as evidenced by the location of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase.  相似文献

The secondary active Cl(-) secretion in seawater (SW) teleost fish gills and elasmobranch rectal gland involves basolateral Na(+),K(+)-ATPase and NKCC, apical membrane CFTR anion channels, and a paracellular Na(+)-selective conductance. In freshwater (FW) teleost gill, the mechanism of NaCl uptake is more controversial and involves apical V-type H(+)-ATPase linked to an apical Na(+) channel, apical Cl(-)-HCO-3 exchange and basolateral Na(+),K(+)-ATPase. Ca(2+) uptake (in FW and SW) is via Ca(2+) channels in the apical membrane and Ca(2+)-ATPase in the basolateral membrane. Mainly this transport occurs in mitochondria rich (MR) chloride cells, but there is a role for the pavement cells also. Future research will likely expand in two major directions, molded by methodology: first in physiological genomics of all the transporters, including their expression, trafficking, operation, and regulation at the molecular level, and second in biotelemetry to examine multivariable components in behavioral physiological ecology, thus widening the integration of physiology from the molecular to the environmental levels while deepening understanding at all levels.  相似文献

To better comprehend the structural and biochemical underpinnings of ion uptake across the gills of true freshwater crabs, we performed an ultrastructural, ultracytochemical and morphometric investigation, and kinetically characterized the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase, in posterior gill lamellae of Dilocarcinus pagei. Ultrastructurally, the lamellar epithelia are markedly asymmetrical: the thick, mushroom-shaped, proximal ionocytes contain elongate mitochondria (41% cell volume) associated with numerous (≈14?μm2 membrane per μm3cytoplasm), deep invaginations that house the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase, revealed ultracytochemically. Their apical surface is amplified (7.5?μm2?μm?2)) by stubby evaginations whose bases adjoin mitochondria below the subcuticular space. The apical membrane of the thin, distal ionocytes shows few evaginations (1.6?μm2?μm?2), each surrounding a mitochondrion, abundant in the cytoplasm below the subcuticular space; basolateral invaginations and mitochondria are few. Fine basal cytoplasmic bridges project across the hemolymph space, penetrating into the thick ionocytes, suggesting ion movement between the epithelia. Microsomal Na(+),K(+)-ATPase specific activity resembles marine crabs but is ≈5-fold less than in species from fluctuating salinities, and freshwater shrimps, suggesting ion loss compensation by strategies other than Na(+) uptake. Enzyme apparent K(+) affinity attains 14-fold that of marine crabs, emphasizing the relevance of elevated K(+) affinity to the conquest of fresh water. Western blotting and biphasic ouabain inhibition disclose two α-subunit isoforms comprising distinct functional isoenzymes. While enzyme activity is not synergistically stimulated by NH(4) (+) and K(+), each increases affinity for the other, possibly assuring appropriate intracellular K(+) concentrations. These findings reveal specific structural and biochemical adaptations that may have allowed the establishment of the Brachyura in fresh water.  相似文献

We tested the hypothesis that the level of intracellular sodium modulates the hormonal regulation of the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity in proximal tubule cells. By using digital imaging fluorescence microscopy of a sodium-sensitive dye, we determined that the sodium ionophore monensin induced a dose-specific increase of intracellular sodium. A correspondence between the elevation of intracellular sodium and the level of dopamine-induced inhibition of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity was determined. At basal intracellular sodium concentration, stimulation of cellular protein kinase C by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) promoted a significant increase in Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity; however, this activation was gradually reduced as the concentration of intracellular sodium was increased to become a significant inhibition at concentrations of intracellular sodium higher than 16 mm. Under these conditions, PMA and dopamine share the same signaling pathway to inhibit the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase. The effects of PMA and dopamine on the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity and the modulation of these effects by different intracellular sodium concentrations were not modified when extracellular and intracellular calcium were almost eliminated. These results suggest that the level of intracellular sodium modulates whether hormones stimulate, inhibit, or have no effect on the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity leading to a tight control of sodium reabsorption.  相似文献

A family of aryl isothiouronium derivatives was designed as probes for cation binding sites of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase. Previous work showed that 1-bromo-2,4,6-tris(methylisothiouronium)benzene (Br-TITU) acts as a competitive blocker of Na(+) or K(+) occlusion. In addition to a high-affinity cytoplasmic site (K(D) < 1 microM), a low-affinity site (K(D) approximately 10 microM) was detected, presumably extracellular. Here we describe properties of Br-TITU as a blocker at the extracellular surface. In human red blood cells Br-TITU inhibits ouabain-sensitive Na(+) transport (K(D) approximately 30 microM) in a manner antagonistic with respect to extracellular Na(+). In addition, Br-TITU impairs K(+)-stimulated dephosphorylation and Rb(+) occlusion from phosphorylated enzyme of renal Na(+),K(+)-ATPase, consistent with binding to an extracellular site. Incubation of renal Na(+),K(+)-ATPase with Br-TITU at pH 9 irreversibly inactivates Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity and Rb(+) occlusion. Rb(+) or Na(+) ions protect. Preincubation of Br-TITU with red cells in a K(+)-free medium at pH 9 irreversibly inactivates ouabain-sensitive (22)Na(+) efflux, showing that inactivation occurs at an extracellular site. K(+), Cs(+), and Li(+) ions protect against this effect, but the apparent affinity for K(+), Cs(+), or Li(+) is similar (K(D) approximately 5 mM) despite their different affinities for external activation of the Na(+) pump. Br-TITU quenches tryptophan fluorescence of renal Na(+),K(+)-ATPase or of digested "19 kDa membranes". After incubation at pH 9 irreversible loss of tryptophan fluorescence is observed and Rb(+) or Na(+) ions protect. The Br-TITU appears to interact strongly with tryptophan residue(s) within the lipid or at the extracellular membrane-water interface and interfere with cation occlusion and Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity.  相似文献

Na(+),K(+)-ATPase, a basolateral transporter responsible for tubular reabsorption of Na(+) and for providing the driving force for vectorial transport of various solutes and ions, can also act as a signal transducer in response to the interaction with steroid hormones. At nanomolar concentrations ouabain binding to Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activates a signaling cascade that ultimately regulates several membrane transporters including Na(+),K(+)-ATPase. The present study evaluated the long-term effect of ouabain on Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity (Na(+) transepithelial flux) and expression in opossum kidney (OK) cells with low (40) and high (80) number of passages in culture, which are known to overexpress Na(+),K(+)-ATPase (Silva et al., 2006, J Membr Biol 212, 163-175). Activation of a signal cascade was evaluated by quantification of ERK1/2 phosphorylation by Western blot. Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity was determined by electrophysiological techniques and expression by Western blot. Incubation of cells with ouabain induced activation of ERK1/2. Long-term incubation with ouabain induced an increase in Na(+) transepithelial flux and Na(+),K(+)-ATPase expression only in OK cells with 80 passages in culture. This increase was prevented by incubation with inhibitors of MEK1/2 and PI-3K. In conclusion, ouabain-activated signaling cascade mediated by both MEK1/2 and PI-3K is responsible for long-term regulation of Na(+) transepithelial flux in epithelial renal cells. OK cell line with high number of passages is suggested to constitute a particular useful model for the understanding of ouabain-mediated regulation of Na(+) transport.  相似文献

Insulin stimulates Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity and induces translocation of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase molecules to the plasma membrane in skeletal muscle. We determined the molecular mechanism by which insulin regulates Na(+),K(+)-ATPase in differentiated primary human skeletal muscle cells (HSMCs). Insulin action on Na(+),K(+)-ATPase was dependent on ERK1/2 in HSMCs. Sequence analysis of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunits revealed several potential ERK phosphorylation sites. Insulin increased ouabain-sensitive (86)Rb(+) uptake and [(3)H]ouabain binding in intact cells. Insulin also increased phosphorylation and plasma membrane content of the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha(1)- and alpha(2)-subunits. Insulin-stimulated Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activation, phosphorylation, and translocation of alpha-subunits to the plasma membrane were abolished by 20 microm PD98059, which is an inhibitor of MEK1/2, an upstream kinase of ERK1/2. Furthermore, inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (100 nm wortmannin) and protein kinase C (10 microm GF109203X) had similar effects. Notably, insulin-stimulated ERK1/2 phosphorylation was abolished by wortmannin and GF109203X in HSMCs. Insulin also stimulated phosphorylation of alpha(1)- and alpha(2)-subunits on Thr-Pro amino acid motifs, which form specific ERK substrates. Furthermore, recombinant ERK1 and -2 kinases were able to phosphorylate alpha-subunit of purified human Na(+),K(+)-ATPase in vitro. In conclusion, insulin stimulates Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity and translocation to plasma membrane in HSMCs via phosphorylation of the alpha-subunits by ERK1/2 mitogen-activated protein kinase.  相似文献

In this study we reveal regions of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase and H(+),K(+)-ATPase that are involved in cation selectivity. A chimeric enzyme in which transmembrane hairpin M5-M6 of H(+),K(+)-ATPase was replaced by that of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase was phosphorylated in the absence of Na(+) and showed no K(+)-dependent reactions. Next, the part originating from Na(+),K(+)-ATPase was gradually increased in the N-terminal direction. We demonstrate that chimera HN16, containing the transmembrane segments one to six and intermediate loops of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase, harbors the amino acids responsible for Na(+) specificity. Compared with Na(+),K(+)-ATPase, this chimera displayed a similar apparent Na(+) affinity, a lower apparent K(+) affinity, a higher apparent ATP affinity, and a lower apparent vanadate affinity in the ATPase reaction. This indicates that the E(2)K form of this chimera is less stable than that of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase, suggesting that it, like H(+),K(+)-ATPase, de-occludes K(+) ions very rapidly. Comparison of the structures of these chimeras with those of the parent enzymes suggests that the C-terminal 187 amino acids and the beta-subunit are involved in K(+) occlusion. Accordingly, chimera HN16 is not only a chimeric enzyme in structure, but also in function. On one hand it possesses the Na(+)-stimulated ATPase reaction of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase, while on the other hand it has the K(+) occlusion properties of H(+),K(+)-ATPase.  相似文献

In our quest to develop a tissue-engineered tear secretory system, we have tried to demonstrate active transepithelial ion fluxes across rabbit lacrimal acinar cell monolayers on polyester membrane scaffolds to evaluate the bioelectrical properties of the cultured cells. Purified lacrimal gland acinar cells were seeded onto polyester membrane inserts and cultured to confluency. Morphological properties of the cell monolayers were evaluated by transmission electron microscopy and immunofluorescence staining for Na(+),K(+)-ATPase and the tight junction-associated protein occludin. Sections revealed cell monolayers with well-maintained epithelial cell polarity, i.e., presence of apical (AP) secretory granules, microvilli, and junctional complexes. Na(+),K(+)-ATPase was localized on both the basal-lateral and apical plasma membranes. The presence of tight cell junctions was demonstrated by a positive circumferential stain for occludin. Bioelectrical properties of the cell monolayers were studied in Ussing chambers under short-circuit conditions. Active ion fluxes were evaluated by inhibiting the short-circuit current (I(sc)) with a Na(+),K(+)-ATPase inhibitor, ouabain (100 microM; basal-lateral, BL), and under Cl(-)-free buffer conditions after carbachol stimulation (CCh; 100 microM). The directional apical secretion of Cl(-) was demonstrated through pharmacological analysis, using amiloride (1 mM; BL) and bumetanide (0.1 mM; BL), respectively. Regulated protein secretion was evaluated by measuring the beta-hexosaminidase catalytic activity in the AP culture medium in response to 100 microM basal CCh. In summary, rabbit lacrimal acinar cell monolayers generate a Cl(-)-dependent, ouabain-sensitive AP --> BL I(sc) in response to CCh, consistent with current models for Na(+)-dependent Cl(-) secretion.  相似文献

The activity and trafficking of the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase are regulated by several hormones, including dopamine, vasopressin, and adrenergic hormones through the action of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Arrestins, GPCR kinases (GRKs), 14-3-3 proteins, and spinophilin interact with GPCRs and modulate the duration and magnitude of receptor signaling. We have found that arrestin 2 and 3, GRK 2 and 3, 14-3-3 epsilon, and spinophilin directly associate with the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase and that the associations with arrestins, GRKs, or 14-3-3 epsilon are blocked in the presence of spinophilin. In COS cells that overexpressed arrestin, the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase was redistributed to intracellular compartments. This effect was not seen in mock-transfected cells or in cells expressing spinophilin. Furthermore, expression of spinophilin appeared to slow, whereas overexpression of beta-arrestins accelerated internalization of the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase endocytosis. We also find that GRKs phosphorylate the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase in vitro on its large cytoplasmic loop. Taken together, it appears that association with arrestins, GRKs, 14-3-3 epsilon, and spinophilin may be important modulators of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase trafficking.  相似文献

Contraction stimulates Na(+),K(+)-ATPase and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity in skeletal muscle. Whether AMPK activation affects Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity in skeletal muscle remains to be determined. Short term stimulation of rat L6 myotubes with the AMPK activator 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-d-ribofuranoside (AICAR), activates AMPK and promotes translocation of the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase α(1)-subunit to the plasma membrane and increases Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity as assessed by ouabain-sensitive (86)Rb(+) uptake. Cyanide-induced artificial anoxia, as well as a direct AMPK activator (A-769662) also increase AMPK phosphorylation and Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity. Thus, different stimuli that target AMPK concomitantly increase Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity. The effect of AICAR on Na(+),K(+)-ATPase in L6 myotubes was attenuated by Compound C, an AMPK inhibitor, as well as siRNA-mediated AMPK silencing. The effects of AICAR on Na(+),K(+)-ATPase were completely abolished in cultured primary mouse muscle cells lacking AMPK α-subunits. AMPK stimulation leads to Na(+),K(+)-ATPase α(1)-subunit dephosphorylation at Ser(18), which may prevent endocytosis of the sodium pump. AICAR stimulation leads to methylation and dephosphorylation of the catalytic subunit of the protein phosphatase (PP) 2A in L6 myotubes. Moreover, AICAR-triggered dephosphorylation of the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase was prevented in L6 myotubes deficient in PP2A-specific protein phosphatase methylesterase-1 (PME-1), indicating a role for the PP2A·PME-1 complex in AMPK-mediated regulation of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase. Thus contrary to the common paradigm, we report AMPK-dependent activation of an energy-consuming ion pumping process. This activation may be a potential mechanism by which exercise and metabolic stress activate the sodium pump in skeletal muscle.  相似文献

In renal epithelial cells endocytosis of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase molecules is initiated by phosphorylation of its alpha(1)-subunit, leading to activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase and adaptor protein-2 (AP-2)/clathrin recruitment. The present study was performed to establish the identity of the AP-2 recognition domain(s) within the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha(1)-subunit. We identified a conserved sequence (Y(537)LEL) within the alpha(1)-subunit that represents an AP-2 binding site. Binding of AP-2 to the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha(1)-subunit in response to dopamine (DA) was increased in OK cells stably expressing the wild type rodent alpha-subunit (OK-WT), but not in cells expressing the Y537A mutant (OK-Y537A). DA treatment was associated with increased alpha(1)-subunit abundance in clathrin vesicles from OK-WT but not from OK-Y537A cells. In addition, this mutation also impaired the ability of DA to inhibit Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity. Because phorbol esters increase Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity in OK cells, and this effect was not affected by the Y537A mutation, the present results suggest that the identified motif is specifically required for DA-induced AP-2 binding and Na(+),K(+)-ATPase endocytosis.  相似文献

Black tiger shrimps (Penaeus monodon) are able to survive and can be reared under various salinities, possibly by the cellular adaptation of their excretory system, particularly the antennal gland, which is known to regulate body fluid in crustaceans. We have investigated the morphological and biochemical alterations of the antennal glands in shrimp reared in 7, 15, or 30 ppt seawater. Drastic changes occur in animals reared under 7 ppt conditions. Ultrastructural studies of the antennal gland in shrimps reared in 7 ppt seawater have revealed that podocytic cells in the coelomosacs ramify with more cytoplasmic processes forming the filtration slits, and that the tubular labyrinth cells possess more mitochondria in their basal striation and a wider tubular lumen than those found in the other groups. Many apical cytoplasmic blebs from labyrinth cells have also been seen in the lumen of the labyrinths under 7 ppt conditions, a feature that is not as prominent under the other conditions. The expression and activity of the Na+/K+-ATPase in the antennal gland are also correlated with the surrounding environment: the lower the salinity, the higher the expression and activity of the enzyme. Immunohistochemistry results have demonstrated the highest staining intensity in the labyrinth cells of shrimps reared under 7 ppt conditions. Our findings thus suggest that one of the adaptation mechanisms of this shrimp to the surrounding salinity is the regulation of Na+/K+-ATPase expression in the antennal gland, in conjunction with subcellular changes in its excretory cells.  相似文献

Our previous studies demonstrated that acetylated tubulin forms a complex with Na(+),K(+)-ATPase and thereby inhibits its enzyme activity in cultured COS and CAD cells. The enzyme activity was restored by treatment of cells with l-glutamate, which caused dissociation of the acetylated tubulin/Na(+),K(+)-ATPase complex. Addition of glucose, but not elimination of glutamate, led to re-formation of the complex and inhibition of the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity. The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the mechanism underlying this effect of glucose. We found that exposure of cells to high glucose concentrations induced: (a) microtubule formation; (b) activation of aldose reductase by the microtubules; (c) association of tubulin with membrane; (d) formation of the acetylated tubulin/Na(+),K(+)-ATPase complex and consequent inhibition of enzyme activity. Exposure of cells to sorbitol caused similar effects. Studies on erythrocytes from diabetic patients and on tissues containing insulin-insensitive glucose transporters gave similar results. Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity was >50% lower and membrane-associated tubulin content was >200% higher in erythrocyte membranes from diabetic patients as compared with normal subjects. Immunoprecipitation analysis showed that acetylated tubulin was a constituent of a complex with Na(+),K(+)-ATPase in erythrocyte membranes from diabetic patients. Based on these findings, we propose a mechanism whereby glucose triggers a synergistic effect of tubulin and sorbitol, leading to activation of aldose reductase, microtubule formation, and consequent Na(+),K(+)-ATPase inhibition.  相似文献
