(Na +, K +)- ATPase kinetics in Macrobrachium pantanalense: highlighting intra- and interspecific variation within the Macrobrachium amazonicum complex. Comp Biochem Physiol B Biochem Mol Biol 2024; 273:110987.

Abstract
The Macrobrachium amazonicum complex is composed of at least the Macrobrachium amazonicum and Macrobrachium pantanalense species, with the latter described from specimens originally identified as part of an endemic M. amazonicum population in the Brazilian Pantanal region. While there may be a reproductive barrier between these two Macrobrachium species, both are phylogenetically close, with small genetic distance. However, there is currently no available biochemical information of Macrobrachium pantanalense (Na+, K+)-ATPase. Here, we report the kinetic characteristics of the gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase in two populations of M. pantanalense from Baiazinha Lagoon (Miranda, MS, Brazil) and Araguari River (Uberlândia, MG, Brazil), and compare them with Macrobrachium amazonicum populations from the Paraná-Paraguay River Basin. (Na+, K+)-ATPase activities were 67.9 ± 3.4 and 93.3 ± 4.1 nmol Pi min-1 mg-1 protein for the Baiazinha Lagoon and Araguari River populations, respectively. Two ATP hydrolyzing sites were observed for the Araguari River population while a single ATP site was observed for the Baiazinha Lagoon shrimps. Compared to the Araguari River population, a 3-fold greater apparent affinity for Mg2+ and Na+ was estimated for the Baiazinha Lagoon population, but no difference in K+ affinity and ouabain inhibition was seen. The kinetic differences observed in the gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase between the two populations of M. pantanalense, compared with those of various M. amazonicum populations, highlight interspecific divergence within the Macrobrachium genus, now examined from a biochemical perspective.

Multi-Effects of Acute Salinity Stress on Osmoregulation, Physiological Metabolism, Antioxidant Capacity, Immunity, and Apoptosis in Macrobrachium rosenbergii. Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:1836. [PMID: 37891915 PMCID: PMC10604327 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12101836] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2023] [Revised: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/05/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Salinity stress can trigger a series of physiological changes. However, the mechanism underlying the response to acute salinity stress in Macrobrachium rosenbergii remains poorly understood. In this study, osmoregulation, physiological metabolism, antioxidant capacity, and apoptosis were examined over 96 h of acute salinity stress. Hemolymph osmolality increased with increasing salinity. After 48 h of salinity exposure, the glucose, triglycerides, total protein, and total cholesterol contents in two salinity stress groups (13 and 26‱ salinity) were significantly lower than those in the 0‱ salinity group. The highest levels of these parameters were detected at 6 h; however, superoxide dismutase (SOD), total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were the lowest at 96 h in the 13‱ salinity group. The activity of immunity-related enzyme alkaline phosphatase (AKP) showed a decreasing trend with increasing salinity and remained at a low level in the 26‱ salinity group throughout the experiment. No significant differences were observed in aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), or lysozyme (LZM) among the three treatments at 96 h. After 96 h of salinity treatments, the gill filament diameter significantly decreased, and a more pronounced terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL)-positive signal was detected in the 13‱ and 26‱ groups compared to that in the 0‱ group. Expression levels of apoptosis-related genes, including Cysteine-aspartic acid protease 3 (Caspase 3), Cysteine-aspartic acid protease 8 (Caspase 8), Cytochrome c (Cyt-c), tumor suppressor gene (P53), Nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB), and B cell lymphoma 2 ovarian killer (Bok) were significantly higher in the 26‱ salinity group than in the other groups at 24 h, but lower than those in the 0‱ salinity group at 96 h. Cyt-c and P53 levels exhibited a significantly positive relationship with MDA, AST, and LZM activity during salinity stress. In the 13‱ salinity group, Bok expression was significantly correlated with SOD, T-AOC, AKP, acid phosphatase, and LZM activity, whereas in the 26‱ group, the AST content was positively correlated with Caspase 8, Cyt-c, and P53 expression. A significant negative relationship was observed between Caspase 3 expression and catalase (CAT) activity. These findings provide insight into the mechanisms underlying the response to acute salinity stress and will contribute to improving M. rosenbergii aquaculture and management practices.

Abstract
This investigation examines the kinetic characteristics and effect of acclimation to a brackish medium (21 ‰S) on gill V(H+)-ATPase activity in two hololimnetic populations of M. amazonicum. We also investigate the cellular immunolocalization of the enzyme. Immunofluorescence findings demonstrate that the V(H+)-ATPase c-subunit is distributed in the apical pillar cells of shrimps in fresh water but is absent after acclimation to 21 ‰S for 10 days. V(H+)-ATPase activity from the Tietê River population is ≈50% greater than the Grande River population, comparable to a wild population from the Santa Elisa Reservoir, but is 2-fold less than in cultivated shrimps. V(H+)-ATPase activity in the Tietê and the Grande River shrimps is abolished after 21 ‰S acclimation. The apparent affinities of the V(H+)-ATPase for ATP (0.27 ± 0.04 and 0.16 ± 0.03 mmol L-1, respectively) and Mg2+ (0.28 ± 0.05 and 0.14 ± 0.02 mmol L-1, respectively) are similar in both populations. The absence of V(H+)-ATPase activity in salinity-acclimated shrimps and its apical distribution in shrimps in fresh water underpins the importance of the crustacean V(H+)-ATPase for ion uptake in fresh water.

Abstract
The geographical distribution of aquatic crustaceans is determined by ambient factors like salinity that modulate their biochemistry, physiology, behavior, reproduction, development and growth. We investigated the effects of exogenous pig FXYD2 peptide and endogenous protein kinases A and C on gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity, and characterized enzyme kinetic properties in a freshwater population of Macrobrachium amazonicum in fresh water (<0.5 ‰ salinity) or acclimated to 21 ‰S. Stimulation by FXYD2 peptide and inhibition by endogenous kinase phosphorylation are salinity-dependent. While without effect in shrimps in fresh water, the FXYD2 peptide stimulated activity in salinity-acclimated shrimps by ≈50 %. PKA-mediated phosphorylation inhibited gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity by 85 % in acclimated shrimps while PKC phosphorylation markedly inhibited enzyme activity in freshwater- and salinity-acclimated shrimps. The (Na+, K+)-ATPase in salinity-acclimated shrimp gills hydrolyzed ATP at a Vmax of 54.9 ± 1.8 nmol min-1 mg-1 protein, corresponding to ≈60 % that of freshwater shrimps. Mg2+ affinity increased with salinity acclimation while K+ affinity decreased. (Ca2+, Mg2+)-ATPase activity increased while V(H+)- and Na+- or K+-stimulated activities decreased on salinity acclimation. The 120-kDa immunoreactive band expressed in salinity-acclimated shrimps suggests nonspecific α-subunit phosphorylation by PKA and/or PKC. These alterations in (Na+, K+)-ATPase kinetics in salinity-acclimated M. amazonicum may result from regulatory mechanisms mediated by phosphorylation via protein kinases A and C and the FXYD2 peptide rather than through the expression of a different α-subunit isoform. This is the first demonstration of gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase regulation by protein kinases in freshwater shrimps during salinity challenge.

Abstract
Owing to their extraordinary niche diversity, the Crustacea are ideal for comprehending the evolution of osmoregulation. The processes that effect systemic hydro-electrolytic homeostasis maintain hemolymph ionic composition via membrane transporters located in highly specialized gill ionocytes. We evaluated physiological and molecular hyper- and hypo-osmoregulatory mechanisms in two phylogenetically distant, freshwater crustaceans, the crab Dilocarcinus pagei and the shrimp Macrobrachium jelskii, when osmotically challenged for up to 10 days. When in distilled water, D. pagei survived without mortality, hemolymph osmolality and [Cl-] increased briefly, stabilizing at initial values, while [Na+] decreased continually. Expression of gill V-type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase), Na+/K+-ATPase and Na+/K+/2Cl- symporter genes was unchanged. In M. jelskii, hemolymph osmolality, [Cl-] and [Na+] decreased continually for 12 h, the shrimps surviving only around 15-24 h exposure. Gill transporter gene expression increased 2- to 5-fold. After 10 days exposure to brackish water (25‰S), D. pagei was isosmotic, iso-chloremic and iso-natriuremic. Gill V-ATPase expression decreased while Na+/K+-ATPase and Na+/K+/2Cl- symporter expression was unchanged. In M. jelskii (20‰S), hemolymph was hypo-regulated, particularly [Cl-]. Transporter expression initially increased 3- to 12-fold, declining to control values. Gill V-ATPase expression underlies the ability of D. pagei to survive in fresh water while V-ATPase, Na+/K+-ATPase and Na+/K+/2Cl- symporter expression enables M. jelskii to confront hyper/hypo-osmotic challenges. These findings reveal divergent responses in two unrelated crustaceans inhabiting a similar osmotic niche. While D. pagei does not secrete salt, tolerating elevated cellular isosmoticity, M. jelskii exhibits clear hypo-osmoregulatory ability. Each species has evolved distinct strategies at the transcriptional and systemic levels during its adaptation to fresh water.

Abstract
We examined the effects of exogenous dopamine on gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity in vitro in microsomal preparations from juvenile or adult freshwater shrimp, Macrobrachium amazonicum. Dopamine had no effect on enzyme activity in juveniles but stimulated activity in adult shrimp gills by ≈35%. Stimulation of the gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase in adult shrimps by 100 mmol L-1 dopamine was characterized kinetically by varying ATP, MgATP, and Na+ and K+ concentrations, together with inhibition by ouabain. Dopamine stimulated ATP hydrolysis by ≈40% obeying Michaelis-Menten kinetics, reaching VM = 190.5 ± 15.7 nmol Pi min-1 mg-1 protein, KM remaining unaltered. Stimulation by Na+ (≈50%) and K+ (≈25%) revealed distinct kinetic profiles: although KM values were similar, Na+ stimulation followed cooperative kinetics, contrasting with the Michaelian kinetics seen for K+. Stimulation by MgATP increased activity by ≈30% with little change in KM. Similar saturation profiles were seen for ouabain inhibition with very similar calculated KI values. Our findings suggest that dopamine may be involved in hemolymph sodium homeostasis by directly binding to the gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase at a site different from ouabain, thus stimulating enzyme activity in an ontogenetic stage-specific manner. However, dopamine binding does not affect enzyme affinity for cations and ouabain. This is the first report of the direct action of dopamine in stimulating the crustacean gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase.

Abstract
We provide a kinetic characterization of (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity in a posterior gill microsomal fraction from the semi-terrestrial mangrove crab Cardisoma guanhumi. Sucrose density gradient centrifugation reveals two distinct membrane fractions showing considerable (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity, but also containing other microsomal ATPases. The (Na+, K+)-ATPase, notably immuno-localized to the apical region of the epithelial pillar cells, and throughout the pillar cell bodies, has an M r of around 110 kDa and hydrolyzes ATP with V M = 146.8 ± 6.3 nmol Pi min-1 mg protein-1 and K M = 0.05 ± 0.003 mmol L-1 obeying Michaelis-Menten kinetics. While stimulation by Na+ (V M = 139.4 ± 6.9 nmol Pi min-1 mg protein-1, K M = 4.50 ± 0.22 mmol L-1) also follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics, modulation of (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity by MgATP (V M = 136.8 ± 6.5 nmol Pi min-1 mg protein-1, K 0.5 = 0.27 ± 0.04 mmol L-1), K+ (V M = 140.2 ± 7.0 nmol Pi min-1 mg protein-1, K 0.5 = 0.17 ± 0.008 mmol L-1), and NH4+ (V M = 149.1 ± 7.4 nmol Pi min-1 mg protein-1, K 0.5 = 0.60 ± 0.03 mmol L-1) shows cooperative kinetics. Ouabain (K I = 52.0 ± 2.6 µmol L-1) and orthovanadate (K I = 1.0 ± 0.05 µmol L-1) inhibit total ATPase activity by around 75%. At low Mg2+ concentrations, ATP is an allosteric modulator of the enzyme. This is the first study to provide a kinetic characterization of the gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase in C. guanhumi, and will be useful in better comprehending the biochemical underpinnings of osmoregulatory ability in a semi-terrestrial mangrove crab.

Abstract
The euryhaline shrimp Palaemonetes argentinus exemplifies an evolutionary transition from brackish to freshwater habitats that requires adequate osmoregulatory capacities. Hyperosmoregulation is functional at hatching and it likely begins during the embryonic phase allowing this species to develop entirely in fresh water. Here, we investigated the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase α-subunit gene (nka-α) expression using quantitative real-time PCR and localized Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase (NKA) in ion-transporting epithelia through immunofluorescence microscopy. We reared shrimps from spawning to juvenile stages at two salinities (1, 15 ‰) and maintained adults for 3 weeks at three salinity treatments (1, 15, 25 ‰). nka-α gene expression was measured in: (1) embryos at an early (SI), intermediate (SII) and late (SIII) stage of embryonic development; (2) newly hatched larvae (Zoea I, ZI); and (3) isolated gill tissue of adults. The nka-α expression was low in SI and SII embryos and reached maximum levels prior to hatching (SIII), which were similar to expression levels detected in the ZI. The nka-α expression in SIII and ZI was highest at 15 ‰, whereas salinity did not affect expression in earlier embryos. In SIII, in ZI and in a later zoeal stage ZIV, NKA was localized in epithelial cells of pleurae, in the inner-side epithelium of branchiostegite and in the antennal glands. Gills appeared in the ZIV but NKA immunolabeling of the cells of the gill shaft occurred in a subsequent developmental larval stage, the decapodid. Extrabranchial organs constitute the main site of osmoregulation in early ontogenetic stages of this freshwater shrimp.

Abstract
We evaluate the effects of total ammonia nitrogen-N (TAN) exposure for 72h on (Na(+),K(+))- and V(H(+))-ATPase activities and on their subunit expressions in gills of the diadromous freshwater shrimp Macrobrachium amazonicum. Specific (Na(+),K(+))- and V(H(+))-ATPase activities increased roughly 1.5- to 2-fold, respectively, after exposure to 2.0mmolL(-1) TAN. Quantitative RT-PCR analyses revealed a 2.5-fold increase in V(H(+))-ATPase B subunit mRNA expression while (Na(+),K(+))-ATPase α-subunit expression was unchanged. Immunohistochemical analyses of the gill lamellae located the (Na(+),K(+))-ATPase throughout the intralamellar septal cells, independently of TAN concentration, while the V(H(+))-ATPase was located in both the apical pillar cell flanges and pillar cell bodies. Systemic stress parameters like total hemocyte count decreased by 30% after exposure to 2.0mmolL(-1) TAN, accompanied by increased activities of the oxidative stress enzymes superoxide dismutase, glutathione reductase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in the gills. The stress responses of M. amazonicum to elevated TAN include increases in gill (Na(+),K(+))- and V(H(+))-ATPase activities that are accompanied by changes in oxidative stress enzyme activities, immune system effects and an increase in gill V(H(+))-ATPase gene expression. These findings likely underpin physiological effects in a crustacean like M. amazonicum that exploits multiple ecosystems during its life cycle, as well as under culture conditions that may significantly impact shrimp production by the aquaculture industry.

Abstract
We characterize the kinetic properties of a gill (Na(+), K(+))-ATPase from the pelagic marine seabob Xiphopenaeus kroyeri. Sucrose density gradient centrifugation revealed membrane fractions distributed mainly into a heavy fraction showing considerable (Na(+), K(+))-ATPase activity, but also containing mitochondrial F0F1- and Na(+)- and V-ATPases. Western blot analysis identified a single immunoreactive band against the (Na(+), K(+))-ATPase α-subunit with an Mr of ≈ 110 kDa. The α-subunit was immunolocalized to the intralamellar septum of the gill lamellae. The (Na(+), K(+))-ATPase hydrolyzed ATP obeying Michaelis-Menten kinetics with VM = 109.5 ± 3.2 nmol Pi min(-1) mg(-1) and KM = 0.03 ± 0.003 mmol L(-1). Mg(2+) (VM = 109.8 ± 2.1 nmol Pi min(-1 )mg(-1), K0.5 = 0.60 ± 0.03 mmol L(-1)), Na(+) (VM = 117.6 ± 3.5 nmol Pi min(-1 ) mg(-1), K0.5 = 5.36 ± 0.14 mmol L(-1)), K(+) (VM = 112.9 ± 1.4 nmol Pi min(-1 )mg(-1), K0.5 = 1.32 ± 0.08 mmol L(-1)), and NH4 (+) (VM = 200.8 ± 7.1 nmol Pi min(-1 )mg(-1), K0.5 = 2.70 ± 0.04 mmol L(-1)) stimulated (Na(+), K(+))-ATPase activity following site-site interactions. K(+) plus NH4 (+) does not synergistically stimulate (Na(+), K(+))-ATPase activity, although each ion modulates affinity of the other. The enzyme exhibits a single site for K(+) binding that can be occupied by NH4 (+), stimulating the enzyme. Ouabain (KI = 84.0 ± 2.1 µmol L(-1)) and orthovanadate (KI = 0.157 ± 0.001 µmol L(-1)) inhibited total ATPase activity by ≈ 50 and ≈ 44 %, respectively. Ouabain inhibition increases ≈ 80 % in the presence of NH4 (+) with a threefold lower KI, suggesting that NH4 (+) is likely transported as a K(+) congener.

Abstract
V-H(+)-ATPase and Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase were localized in the gills and branchiostegites of M. amazonicum and the effects of salinity on the branchial chamber ultrastructure and on the localization of transporters were investigated. Gills present septal and pillar cells. In freshwater (FW), the apical surface of pillar cells is amplified by extensive evaginations associated with mitochondria. V-H(+)-ATPase immunofluorescence was localized in the membranes of the apical evaginations and in clustered subapical areas of pillar cells, suggesting labeling of intracellular vesicle membranes. Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase labeling was restricted to the septal cells. No difference in immunostaining was recorded for both proteins according to salinity (FW vs. 25 PSU). In the branchiostegite, both V-H(+)-ATPase and Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase immunofluorescence were localized in the same cells of the internal epithelium. Immunogold revealed that V-H(+)-ATPase was localized in apical evaginations and in electron-dense areas throughout the inner epithelium, while Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase occurred densely along the basal infoldings of the cytoplasmic membrane. Our results suggest that morphologically different cell types within the gill lamellae may also be functionally specialized. We propose that, in FW, pillar cells expressing V-H(+)-ATPase absorb ions (Cl(-), Na(+)) that are transported either directly to the hemolymph space or through a junctional complex to the septal cells, which may be responsible for active Na(+) delivery to the hemolymph through Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase. This suggests a functional link between septal and pillar cells in osmoregulation. When shrimps are transferred to FW, gill and branchiostegite epithelia undergo ultrastructural changes, most probably resulting from their involvement in osmoregulatory processes.

Modulation by K+ Plus NH4+ of microsomal (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity in selected ontogenetic stages of the diadromous river shrimp Macrobrachium amazonicum (Decapoda, Palaemonidae). PLoS One 2014; 9:e89625.

Abstract
We investigate the synergistic stimulation by K+ plus NH4+ of (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity in microsomal preparations of whole zoea I and decapodid III, and in juvenile and adult river shrimp gills. Modulation of (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity is ontogenetic stage-specific, and particularly distinct between juveniles and adults. Although both gill enzymes exhibit two different sites for K+ and NH4+ binding, in the juvenile enzyme, these two sites are equivalent: binding by both ions results in slightly stimulated activity compared to that of a single ionic species. In the adult enzyme, the sites are not equivalent: when one ion occupies its specific binding site, (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity is stimulated synergistically by ≈50% on binding of the complementary ion. Immunolocalization reveals the enzyme to be distributed predominantly throughout the intralamellar septum in the gill lamellae of juveniles and adults. Western blot analyses demonstrate a single immunoreactive band, suggesting a single (Na+, K+)-ATPase α-subunit isoform that is distributed into different density membrane fractions, independently of ontogenetic stage. We propose a model for the modulation by K+ and NH4+ of gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity. These findings suggest that the gill enzyme may be regulated by NH4+ during ontogenetic development in M. amazonicum.
