Abstract
The ubiquitous sodium/potassium ATPase (Na pump) is the most abundant primary active transporter at the cell surface of multiple cell types, including ventricular myocytes in the heart. The activity of the Na pump establishes transmembrane ion gradients that control numerous events at the cell surface, positioning it as a key regulator of the contractile and metabolic state of the myocardium. Defects in Na pump activity and regulation elevate intracellular Na in cardiac muscle, playing a causal role in the development of cardiac hypertrophy, diastolic dysfunction, arrhythmias and heart failure. Palmitoylation is the reversible conjugation of the fatty acid palmitate to specific protein cysteine residues; all subunits of the cardiac Na pump are palmitoylated. Palmitoylation of the pump's accessory subunit phospholemman (PLM) by the cell surface palmitoyl acyl transferase DHHC5 leads to pump inhibition, possibly by altering the relationship between the pump catalytic α subunit and specifically bound membrane lipids. In this review, we discuss the functional impact of PLM palmitoylation on the cardiac Na pump and the molecular basis of recognition of PLM by its palmitoylating enzyme DHHC5, as well as effects of palmitoylation on Na pump cell surface abundance in the cardiac muscle. We also highlight the numerous unanswered questions regarding the cellular control of this fundamentally important regulatory process.

Abstract
Reconstitution of P-type ATPases in unilamellar liposomes is a useful technique to study functional properties of these active ion transporters. Experiments with such liposomes provide an easy access to substrate-binding affinities of the ion pumps as well as to the lipid and temperature dependence of the pump current. Here, we describe two reconstitution methods by dialysis and the use of potential-sensitive fluorescence dyes to study transport properties of two P-type ATPases, the Na,K-ATPase from rabbit kidney and the K(+)-transporting KdpFABC complex from E. coli. Several techniques are introduced how the measured fluorescence signals may be analyzed to gain information on properties of the ion pumps.

Abstract
Phospholemman (FXYD1) is a single-transmembrane protein regulator of Na,K-ATPase, expressed strongly in heart, skeletal muscle, and brain and phosphorylated by protein kinases A and C at Ser-68 and Ser-63, respectively. Binding of FXYD1 reduces Na,K-ATPase activity, and phosphorylation at Ser-68 or Ser-63 relieves the inhibition. Despite the accumulated information on physiological effects, whole cell studies provide only limited information on molecular mechanisms. As a complementary approach, we utilized purified human Na,K-ATPase (α1β1 and α2β1) reconstituted with FXYD1 or mutants S63E, S68E, and S63E,S68E that mimic phosphorylation at Ser-63 and Ser-68. Compared with control α1β1, FXYD1 reduces Vmax and turnover rate and raises K0.5Na. The phosphomimetic mutants reverse these effects and reduce K0.5Na below control K0.5Na. Effects on α2β1 are similar but smaller. Experiments in proteoliposomes reconstituted with α1β1 show analogous effects of FXYD1 on K0.5Na, which are abolished by phosphomimetic mutants and also by increasing mole fractions of DOPS in the proteoliposomes. Stopped-flow experiments using the dye RH421 show that FXYD1 slows the conformational transition E2(2K)ATP → E1(3Na)ATP but does not affect 3NaE1P → E2P3Na. This regulatory effect is explained simply by molecular modeling, which indicates that a cytoplasmic helix (residues 60-70) docks between the αN and αP domains in the E2 conformation, but docking is weaker in E1 (also for phosphomimetic mutants). Taken together with previous work showing that FXYD1 also raises binding affinity for the Na(+)-selective site III, these results provide a rather comprehensive picture of the regulatory mechanism of FXYD1 that complements the physiological studies.

Abstract
The electrogenic Na/Ca exchanger (NCX) mediates bidirectional Ca movements that are highly sensitive to changes of Na gradients in many cells. NCX1 is implicated in the pathogenesis of heart failure and a number of cardiac arrhythmias. We measured NCX1 palmitoylation using resin-assisted capture, the subcellular location of yellow fluorescent protein–NCX1 fusion proteins, and NCX1 currents using whole-cell voltage clamping. Rat NCX1 is substantially palmitoylated in all tissues examined. Cysteine 739 in the NCX1 large intracellular loop is necessary and sufficient for NCX1 palmitoylation. Palmitoylation of NCX1 occurs in the Golgi and anchors the NCX1 large regulatory intracellular loop to membranes. Surprisingly, palmitoylation does not influence trafficking or localization of NCX1 to surface membranes, nor does it strongly affect the normal forward or reverse transport modes of NCX1. However, exchangers that cannot be palmitoylated do not inactivate normally (leading to substantial activity in conditions when wild-type exchangers are inactive) and do not promote cargo-dependent endocytosis that internalizes 50% of the cell surface following strong G-protein activation or large Ca transients. The palmitoylated cysteine in NCX1 is found in all vertebrate and some invertebrate NCX homologs. Thus, NCX palmitoylation ubiquitously modulates Ca homeostasis and membrane domain function in cells that express NCX proteins.—Reilly, L., Howie, J., Wypijewski, K., Ashford, M. L. J., Hilgemann, D.

Abstract
The cardiac phosphoprotein phospholemman (PLM) regulates the cardiac sodium pump, activating the pump when phosphorylated and inhibiting it when palmitoylated. Protein palmitoylation, the reversible attachment of a 16 carbon fatty acid to a cysteine thiol, is catalyzed by the Asp-His-His-Cys (DHHC) motif-containing palmitoyl acyltransferases. The cell surface palmitoyl acyltransferase DHHC5 regulates a growing number of cellular processes, but relatively few DHHC5 substrates have been identified to date. We examined the expression of DHHC isoforms in ventricular muscle and report that DHHC5 is among the most abundantly expressed DHHCs in the heart and localizes to caveolin-enriched cell surface microdomains. DHHC5 coimmunoprecipitates with PLM in ventricular myocytes and transiently transfected cells. Overexpression and silencing experiments indicate that DHHC5 palmitoylates PLM at two juxtamembrane cysteines, C40 and C42, although C40 is the principal palmitoylation site. PLM interaction with and palmitoylation by DHHC5 is independent of the DHHC5 PSD-95/Discs-large/ZO-1 homology (PDZ) binding motif, but requires a ∼ 120 amino acid region of the DHHC5 intracellular C-tail immediately after the fourth transmembrane domain. PLM C42A but not PLM C40A inhibits the Na pump, indicating PLM palmitoylation at C40 but not C42 is required for PLM-mediated inhibition of pump activity. In conclusion, we demonstrate an enzyme-substrate relationship for DHHC5 and PLM and describe a means of substrate recruitment not hitherto described for this acyltransferase. We propose that PLM palmitoylation by DHHC5 promotes phospholipid interactions that inhibit the Na pump.

Abstract
KdpFABC complexes were reconstituted in Escherichia coli lipid vesicles, and ion pumping was activated by addition of ATP to the external medium which corresponds to the cytoplasm under physiological conditions. ATP-driven potassium extrusion was studied in the presence of various substrates potentially influencing transport rate. The pump current was detected as a decrease of the membrane potential by the voltage-sensitive dye DiSC3(5). The results indicate that high cytoplasmic K(+) concentrations have an inhibitory effect on the KdpFABC complex. The pump current decreased to ∼25% of the maximal value at 140 mM K(+) and minimal Mg(2+)concentrations. This effect could be counteracted with increased Mg(2+) concentrations on the cytoplasmic side. This observation may be explained by the Gouy-Chapman effect of two Mg(2+) ions probably bound with a K1/2 of 0.8 mM close to the entrance of the access channel to the binding sites. This factor ensures that under physiological conditions the rate-limiting effect of K(+) release is significantly reduced. Also both ADP and inorganic phosphate are able to reduce the turnover rate of the pump by reversing the phosphorylation step (Ki of 151 μM) and the dephosphorylation step (Ki of 268 μM), respectively. In the case of the DDM-solubilized KdpFABC complex, activation energy under turnover conditions was previously found to be 55 kJ/mol, and the o-vanadate inhibition constant is shown here to be ∼1 μM, which is in agreement with values reported for other P-type ATPases. In the case of the reconstituted enzyme, however, significant differences were observed that have to be assigned to effects of the lipid bilayer environment. The activation energy was increased by a factor of 2, whereas the inhibition by o-vanadate became reduced in a way that only ∼66% of the enzyme could be inhibited and the inhibition constant was increased to a value of ∼60 μM.
