Abstract
Na+-K+-ATPase, an α/β heterodimer, is an ancient enzyme that maintains Na+ and K+ gradients, thus preserving cellular ion homeostasis. In multicellular organisms, this basic housekeeping function is integrated to fulfill the needs of specialized organs and preserve whole-body homeostasis. In vertebrates, Na+-K+-ATPase is essential for many fundamental physiological processes, such as nerve conduction, muscle contraction, nutrient absorption, and urine excretion. During vertebrate evolution, three key developments contributed to diversification and integration of Na+-K+-ATPase functions. Generation of novel α- and β-subunits led to formation of multiple Na+-K+-ATPase isoenyzmes with distinct functional characteristics. Development of a complex endocrine system enabled efficient coordination of diverse Na+-K+-ATPase functions. Emergence of FXYDs, small transmembrane proteins that regulate Na+-K+-ATPase, opened new ways to modulate its function. FXYDs are a vertebrate innovation and an important site of hormonal action, suggesting they played an especially prominent role in evolving interaction between Na+-K+-ATPase and the endocrine system in vertebrates.

Abstract
In addition to modulatory actions on Na+-K+-ATPase, phospholemman (PLM) has been proposed to play a role in cell volume regulation. Overexpression of PLM induces ionic conductances, with 'PLM channels' exhibiting selectivity for taurine. Osmotic challenge of host cells overexpressing PLM increases taurine efflux and augments the cellular regulatory volume decrease (RVD) response, though a link between PLM and cell volume regulation has not been studied in the heart. We recently reported a depressed cardiac contractile function in PLM knockout mice in vivo, which was exacerbated in crystalloid-perfused isolated hearts, indicating that these hearts were osmotically challenged. To address this, the present study investigated the role of PLM in osmoregulation in the heart. Isolated PLM wild-type and knockout hearts were perfused with a crystalloid buffer supplemented with mannitol in a bid to prevent perfusate-induced cell swelling and maintain function. Accordingly, and in contrast to wild-type control hearts, contractile function was improved in PLM knockout hearts with 30 mM mannitol. To investigate further, isolated PLM wild-type and knockout cardiomyocytes were subjected to increasing hyposmotic challenges. Initial validation studies showed the IonOptix video edge-detection system to be a simple and accurate 'real-time' method for tracking cell width as a marker of cell size. Myocytes swelled equally in both genotypes, indicating that PLM, when expressed at physiological levels in cardiomyocytes, is not essential to limit water accumulation in response to a hyposmotic challenge. Interestingly, freshly isolated adult cardiomyocytes consistently failed to mount RVDs in response to cell swelling, adding to conflicting reports in the literature. A proposed perturbation of the RVD response as a result of the cell isolation process was not restored, however, with short-term culture in either adult or neonatal cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
Phospholemman (PLM, FXYD1), abundantly expressed in the heart, is the primary cardiac sarcolemmal substrate for PKA and PKC. Evidence supports the hypothesis that PLM is part of the cardiac Na-K pump complex and provides the link between kinase activity and pump modulation. PLM has also been proposed to modulate Na/Ca exchanger activity and may be involved in cell volume regulation. This study characterized the phenotype of the PLM knockout (KO) mouse heart to further our understanding of PLM function in the heart. PLM KO mice were bred on a congenic C57/BL6 background. In vivo conductance catheter measurements exhibited a mildly depressed cardiac contractile function in PLM KO mice, which was exacerbated when hearts were isolated and Langendorff perfused. There were no significant differences in action potential morphology in paced Langendorff-perfused hearts. Depressed contractile function was associated with a mild cardiac hypertrophy in PLM KO mice. Biochemical analysis of crude ventricular homogenates showed a significant increase in Na-K-ATPase activity in PLM KO hearts compared with wild-type controls. SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis of ventricular homogenates revealed small, nonsignificant changes in Na- K-ATPase subunit expression, with two-dimensional gel (isoelectric focusing, SDS-PAGE) analysis revealing minimal changes in ventricular protein expression, indicating that deletion of PLM was the primary reason for the observed PLM KO phenotype. These studies demonstrate that PLM plays an important role in the contractile function of the normoxic mouse heart. Data are consistent with the hypothesis that PLM modulates Na-K-ATPase activity, indirectly affecting intracellular Ca and hence contractile function.

Abstract
Phosphorylation of phospholemman (PLM) on ser68 has been proposed to at least partially mediate cyclic AMP (cAMP) mediated relaxation of arterial smooth muscle. We evaluated the time course of the phosphorylation of phospholemman (PLM) on ser68, myosin regulatory light chains (MRLC) on ser19, and heat shock protein 20 (HSP20) on ser16 during a transient forskolin-induced relaxation of histamine-stimulated swine carotid artery. We also evaluated the dose response for forskolin- and nitroglycerin-induced relaxation in phenylephrine-stimulated PLM-/- and PLM+/+ mice. The time course for changes in ser19 MRLC dephosphorylation and ser16 HSP20 phosphorylation was appropriate to explain the forskolin-induced relaxation and the recontraction observed upon washout of forskolin. However, the time course for changes in ser68 PLM phosphorylation was too slow to explain forskolin-induced changes in force. There was no difference in the phenylephrine contractile dose response or in forskolin-induced relaxation dose response observed in PLM-/- and PLM+/+ aortae. In aortae precontracted with phenylephrine, nitroglycerin induced a slightly, but significantly greater relaxation in PLM-/- compared to PLM+/+ aortae. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that ser19 MRLC dephosphorylation and ser16 HSP20 phosphorylation are involved in forskolin-induced relaxation. Our data suggest that PLM phosphorylation is not significantly involved in forskolin-induced arterial relaxation.

Abstract
The FXYD protein family consists of several small, single-span membrane proteins that exhibit a high degree of homology. The best-known members of the family include the gamma-subunit of the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase and phospholemman (PLM), a phosphoprotein of cardiac sarcolemma. Other members of the family include corticosteroid hormone-induced factor (CHIF), mammary tumor protein of 8 kDa (Mat-8), and related to ion channels (RIC). The exact physiological roles of the FXYD proteins remain unknown. To better characterize the function of the members of the FXYD protein family, we expressed several members of the family in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. All of the FXYD proteins, with the exception of PLM, were primarily found in the basolateral plasma membrane. Surprisingly, PLM, a previously characterized plasma membrane protein, was found to colocalize with the endoplasmic reticulum marker protein disulfide isomerase. Treatment of MDCK cells expressing PLM with an agonist of PKC caused some of the PLM to be redistributed to the plasma membrane. Site-directed mutagenesis of residues within the cytoplasmic domain of PLM indicated that a negative charge at Ser69 is necessary to shift the localization of PLM to the plasma membrane. In addition, other regions of PLM necessary for either its endoplasmic reticulum or plasma membrane localization have been elucidated. In contrast to PLM, the plasma membrane localization of CHIF and RIC was not altered by mutation of potential cytoplasmic phosphorylation sites. Overall, these results suggest that phosphorylation of specific residues of PLM may direct PLM from an intracellular compartment to the plasma membrane.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phospholemman (PLM) is an abundant phosphoprotein in the plasma membrane of cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle. It is a member of the FXYD family of proteins that bind to and regulate the Na,K-ATPase. Protein kinase A (PKA) is known to phosphorylate PLM on serine 68 (S68), although the functional effect of S68 PLM phosphorylation is unclear. We therefore evaluated S68 PLM phosphorylation in swine carotid arteries. METHODS Two anti-PLM antibodies, one to S68 phosphorylated PLM and one to unphosphorylated PLM, were made to PLM peptides in rabbits and tested with purified PLM and PKA-treated PLM. Swine carotid arteries were mounted isometrically, contracted, relaxed with forskolin and then homogenized. Proteins were separated on SDS gels and the intensity of immunoreactivity to the two PLM antibodies determined on immunoblots. RESULTS The antipeptide antibody 'C2' primarily reacted with unphosphorylated PLM, and the antipeptide antibody 'CP68' detected S68 PLM phosphorylation. Histamine stimulation of intact swine carotid artery induced a contraction, increased the CP68 PLM antibody signal and reduced the C2 PLM antibody signal. High extracellular [K(+)] depolarization induced a contraction without altering the C2 or CP68 PLM signal. Forskolin-induced relaxation of histamine or extracellular [K(+)] contracted arteries correlated with an increased CP68 signal. Nitroglycerin-induced relaxation was not associated with changes in the C2 or CP68 PLM signal. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that a contractile agonist increased S68 PLM phosphorylation. Agents that increase [cAMP], but not agents that increase [cGMP], increased S68 PLM phosphorylation. S68 PLM phosphorylation may be involved in cAMP-dependent regulation of smooth muscle force.

Abstract
Phospholemman (PLM) is a 72-amino acid transmembrane protein thought to function in Na,K-ATPase regulation or assembly, similar to other members of the FXYD family of proteins. Unique to PLM among these regulatory proteins are sites for C-terminal phosphorylation by PKA and PKC, although a role for phosphorylation in PLM function remains unclear. To study PLM phosphorylation, we used PLM phosphopeptides to generate antibodies to specifically detect phosphorylated PLM. Peptide affinity chromatography isolated two populations of antibodies: one reacting with standard PLM, a collection of closely-spaced 15-kDa protein bands by SDS-PAGE. About 20% of PLM antibodies reacted specifically with a single distinct form of PLM. Levels of this second immunological form (PLM-b) were increased with overexpression of PLM cDNA, and also reacted with a monoclonal antibody against the PLM N-terminus. In complete contrast to standard PLM, however, PLM-b was quantitatively insoluble in nonionic detergents and was released from tight binding by colchicine. Antibodies to PLM-b were present in two different antisera raised to the phosphorylated C-terminal peptide (residues 57-70), but not in antiserum raised to the non-phosphorylated C-terminal peptide. Despite an apparent relationship between PLM-b and phosphorylated PLM, PLM-b levels were not affected by treatment of heart cells with isoproterenol. PLM-b appears to represent a cytoskeleton-attached detergent-insoluble form of PLM with distinctive C-terminal immunoreactivity that might have implications for PLM structure and function.

Abstract
The role of phospholemman (PLM) in taurine and Cl(-) efflux elicited by 30% hyposmotic solution was studied in cultured cerebellar astrocytes with reduced PLM expression by antisense oligonucleotide (AO) treatment. PLM, a substrate for protein kinases (PK) C and A, is a protein that increases an anion current in Xenopus oocytes and forms taurine-selective channels in lipid bilayers. Taurine contributes as an osmolyte to regulatory volume decrease (RVD) and is highly permeable through PLM channels in bilayers. Two antisense oligonucleotides (AO1 and AO2) effectively decreased the expression of the PLM protein by 40% and 30%, respectively, and markedly reduced [(3)H]taurine efflux by 67% and 62%. AO treatment also decreased the osmosensitive release of Cl(-), followed as (125)I. The inhibition of Cl(-) efflux (23% for AO1 and 13% for AO2) was notably lower than for [(3)H]taurine. The contribution of PKC and PKA in the function of PLM was also evaluated in astrocytes. Pharmacological activation or inhibition of PKC and PKA revealed that the osmosensitive taurine efflux is essentially PKC-independent while (125)I efflux is reduced by the PKC blockers H-7 (21%) and Gö6983 (41%). The PKA activator forskolin and dbcAMP increased taurine efflux by 66-70% and (125)I efflux by 21-45%. Norepinephrine increased the osmosensitive taurine efflux at about the same extent as dbcAMP and forskolin, and this was reduced by PKA blockers. These results suggest that PLM plays a role in RVD in astrocytes by predominantly influencing taurine fluxes, which are modulated by PKA but not PKC.

Abstract
Phospholemman (PLM) is a small (72-amino acid) transmembrane protein found in cardiac sarcolemma that is a major substrate for several protein kinases in vivo. Detailed structural data for PLM is lacking, but several studies have described an ion conductance that results from PLM expression in oocytes. Moreover, addition of purified PLM to lipid bilayers generates similar ion currents, suggesting that the PLM molecule itself might be sufficient for channel formation. To provide a framework for understanding the function of PLM, we investigated PLM topology and structure in sarcolemmal membrane vesicles and analyzed purified recombinant PLM. Immunoblot analyses with site-specific antibodies revealed that the extracellular segment (residues 1 to 17) exists in a protected configuration highly resistant to proteases, even in detergent solutions. The intracellular portion of the molecule (residues 38 to 72), in contrast, was highly susceptible to proteases. Trypsin treatment produced a limit peptide (residues 1 to 43), which showed little change in electrophoretic mobility in SDS gels and retained the ion-channel activity in lipid bilayers that is characteristic of the full-length protein. In addition, we found that conductance through PLM channels exhibited rapid inactivation during depolarizing ramps at voltages greater than +/- 50 mV, Channels formed by trypsinized PLM or recombinant PLM 1-43 exhibited dramatic reductions in voltage-dependent inactivations. Our data point to distinct domains within the PLM molecule that may correlate with functional properties of channel activity observed in oocytes and lipid bilayers.

Abstract
Previous reports have demonstrated that the phospholemman (PLM), a 72-residue plasma-membrane protein enriched in skeletal muscle and heart, is a major substrate phosphorylated in response to insulin and adrenergic stimulation. Here we describe the isolation and characterization of human and rat PLM cDNA from the heart. Both PLM proteins share significant nucleotide and amino acid sequence and structural similarities with the previously published canine PLM and, to a lesser degree, with Na+/K(+)-ATPase gamma subunit, Mat-8 protein, and CHIF protein. Despite the functional diversity, all these proteins are quite small and possess a single transmembrane domain. Human PLM appears to be a unique gene localized on chromosome 19q13.1. The PLM mRNA is widely distributed in human tissues, with the highest expression in skeletal muscle and heart, suggesting a functional role in muscle contraction. Like canine PLM, both human and rat PLM induce a hyperpolarization-activated chloride current when expressed in Xenopus oocytes. The high degree of sequence and functional conservation among the mammalian PLM proteins indicates that this gene is conserved throughout evolution.

Abstract
Phospholemman, a transmembrane, 72 residue protein enriched in striated muscle and heart [Palmer, Scott and Jones (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 11126-11130], is phosphorylated in response to insulin [Walaas, Horn and Walaas (1991) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1094, 92-102]. The present study is aimed at identifying the phosphorylation sites of this protein. A synthetic peptide, GTFRSS63IRRLS68TRRR (in the single letter code) and consisting of phospholemman residues 58-72, is a substrate for both protein kinase C and cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase, with Km values of 6-7 microM for both enzymes. Amino acid sequencing of the phosphopeptide shows that protein kinase C phosphorylates both Ser-63 and Ser-68, while cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylates Ser-68. Thermolytic phosphopeptide mapping of 32P-labelled phospholemman from rat diaphragms shows that treatment with insulin results in labelling of phosphopeptides containing both Ser-63 and Ser-68, whereas treatment with adrenaline results in labelling of the phosphopeptide containing Ser-68. Hence, insulin and adrenaline regulate the phosphorylation of phospholemman, presumably through protein kinase C and cAMP-dependent protein kinase, respectively, on partly overlapping phosphorylation sites.

Abstract
In the present study the effects of the protein kinase C activator 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) as well as the alpha- and beta-adrenoceptor agonists methoxamine and isoproterenol on protein phosphorylation of intact rat cardiac myocytes were investigated. TPA, isoproterenol and methoxamine were shown to stimulate phosphorylation of a 15 kDa protein. EC50 for TPA and isoproterenol were 4 x 10(-8) M and 5 x 10(-9) M respectively. The time course of phosphorylation by TPA and isoproterenol greatly differed, revealing a maximal phosphorylation (2.9-fold) after 10 min and 1 min respectively. Cell fractionation showed a significant enrichment of the 15 kDa protein in a crude membrane preparation. While the 15 kDa protein was the only phosphoprotein stimulated by TPA and methoxamine, isoproterenol additionally enhanced the 32Pi incorporation into four proteins corresponding to 6 kDa (phospholamban), 28 kDa, 97 kDa and 140 kDa. Furthermore, dephosphorylation of a 21 kDa substrate upon beta-adrenoceptor stimulation was observed. Phospholamban phosphorylation was effectively (max. 9.1-fold) stimulated by isoproterenol (EC50 of 5 x 10(-9) M), reaching a maximal phosphorylation state within 1 min. The present study clearly demonstrates: (1) TPA stimulates the phosphorylation of a membrane-localized 15 kDa protein and this effect can be mimicked by both isoproterenol and methoxamine; (2) TPA, in contrast to isoproterenol, does not change the phosphorylation state of phospholamban. Whilst phospholamban under in vitro conditions is known to be a substrate for protein kinase C, it does not appear to be accessible for the enzyme in intact cardiac myocytes.

Abstract
The signal transduction system of the vasopressin receptor in cerebral microvessels is not known but appears not to be adenylate cyclase/cyclic AMP. We determined the effect of arginine vasopressin (AVP) on the intracellular free calcium concentration [Ca2+]i in endothelial cells of isolated hippocampal microvessels of rats, using the fura-2 fluorescence technique. AVP administration caused a rapid and transient rise of cytosolic free calcium which was absent after extracellular calcium was removed, and could be blocked with the vasopressin V1 receptor antagonist, d(CH2)5 Tyr(Me)AVP. The vasopressin V2 receptor agonist, 1-deamino-8,D-AVP, on the contrary, failed to affect the intracellular free calcium level, and was unable to inhibit the AVP-induced rise of [Ca2+]i in the preparation. Our results, therefore, demonstrate the presence of a calcium-signalling, i.e. V1 vasopressin receptor at the blood-brain barrier in the hippocampus of the rat.

The effects of insulin on the phosphorylation of a 15 kilodalton (kDa) membrane protein in rat diaphragm in situ have been investigated. Incubation of the diaphragm with insulin or tumor-promoting phorbol ester increased the 32P-labelling of the 15 kDa protein at serine residues by 50 +/- 8% and 64 +/- 11%, (mean +/- S.E.), respectively. Thermolytic peptide mapping of the 15 kDa protein after insulin treatment of the diaphragm yielded two major phosphopeptides, one of which was absent from digests from control diaphragms. The same two phosphopeptides were identified after incubation of the diaphragm with phorbol ester and after phosphorylation of sarcolemma in vitro with [gamma-32P]ATP and protein kinase C. Additional experiments indicated that pretreatment of diaphragms with insulin or phorbol ester both increased the state of phosphorylation of the 15 kDa sarcolemma protein on phosphorylation sites regulated by protein kinase C. The stimulatory effect of insulin was decreased by staurosporine or by preincubation of the diaphragms with phorbol esters. These results indicate that the insulin-induced increases in protein kinase C activity previously found in rat diaphragm (Walaas et al. (1987) FEBS Lett. 220, 311-318) may be involved in insulin-mediated regulation of phosphorylation of the 15 kDa protein in situ.

Abstract
Subcellular fractionation of rabbit pancreatic acini was performed to study the distribution of endogenous substrates for protein kinase C. Substrates for protein kinase C were found to be predominantly low molecular mass proteins of cytosolic origin. At least three of these soluble substrates, with molecular masses of 17-19 kDa, were relatively heavily phosphorylated by endogenous as well as purified pancreatic protein kinase C. In the same molecular mass range, 16-18 kDa, soluble proteins were also phosphorylated by protein kinase A. Moreover, addition of cyclic AMP under conditions that activated protein kinase C gave a more than additive labelling of these low molecular mass proteins. The latter observation may be of interest in view of the potentiating effect cyclic-AMP-activated protein kinase A has on amylase secretion stimulated by secretagogues which increase free cytosolic Ca2+ and activate protein kinase C.

Abstract
A7r5 smooth muscle (aorta) cells have a spontaneous electrical activity. Application of vasopressin produces a hyperpolarization accompanied by an interruption of the spontaneous activity, which is followed by a depolarization associated with a recovery of the spiking activity. Vasopressin action is produced by an action of the peptide on three different types of ionic channels. Vasopressin activates a Ca2+-sensitive K+ conductance, presumably by producing inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate intracellularly and liberating Ca2+ from internal stores. This activation is transient (0.5-4 min) and is related to the vasopressin-induced hyperpolarization. Intracellular perfusion of inositol trisphosphate triggers by itself a transient K+ current and prevents subsequent activation by vasopressin. Vasopressin inhibits an L-type Ca2+ channel through both protein kinase C activation and a [Ca2+]i-dependent inactivation mechanism triggered by inositol trisphosphate production. The addition of the activation of a Ca2+-sensitive K+ channel and of the inhibition of a voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channel is responsible for the transient blockade of the spontaneous activity. Vasopressin also provokes the activation of an inward current (2-20 min) due to a nonselective channel able to transfer Ca2+, Na+, K+, and Cs+ across the membrane. This effect of the peptide is associated with the depolarization following the hyperpolarization phase.
