Eutherian-Specific Functions of BetaM Acquired through Atp1b4 Gene Co-Option in the Regulation of MyoD Expression. Life (Basel) 2023; 13:414. [PMID: 36836771 PMCID: PMC9962273 DOI: 10.3390/life13020414] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2022] [Revised: 01/20/2023] [Accepted: 01/31/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Vertebrate ATP1B4 genes represent a rare instance of orthologous gene co-option, resulting in radically different functions of the encoded BetaM proteins. In lower vertebrates, BetaM is a Na, K-ATPase β-subunit that is a component of ion pumps in the plasma membrane. In placental mammals, BetaM lost its ancestral role and, through structural alterations of the N-terminal domain, became a skeletal and cardiac muscle-specific protein of the inner nuclear membrane, highly expressed during late fetal and early postnatal development. We previously determined that BetaM directly interacts with the transcriptional co-regulator SKI-interacting protein (SKIP) and is implicated in the regulation of gene expression. This prompted us to investigate a potential role for BetaM in the regulation of muscle-specific gene expression in neonatal skeletal muscle and cultured C2C12 myoblasts. We found that BetaM can stimulate expression of the muscle regulatory factor (MRF), MyoD, independently of SKIP. BetaM binds to the distal regulatory region (DRR) of MyoD, promotes epigenetic changes associated with activation of transcription, and recruits the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling subunit, BRG1. These results indicate that eutherian BetaM regulates muscle gene expression by promoting changes in chromatin structure. These evolutionarily acquired new functions of BetaM might be very essential and provide evolutionary advantages to placental mammals.

BIOLOGY 2022; 11:682. [PMID: 35625411 PMCID: PMC9137990 DOI: 10.3390/biology11050682] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2022] [Revised: 03/31/2022] [Accepted: 04/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Neuregulin-1β (NRG-1β) is a growth and differentiation factor with pleiotropic systemic effects. Because NRG-1β has therapeutic potential for heart failure and has known growth effects in skeletal muscle, we hypothesized that it might affect heart failure-associated cachexia, a severe co-morbidity characterized by a loss of muscle mass. We therefore assessed NRG-1β's effect on intercostal skeletal muscle gene expression in a swine model of heart failure using recombinant glial growth factor 2 (USAN-cimaglermin alfa), a version of NRG-1β that has been tested in humans with systolic heart failure. Animals received one of two intravenous doses (0.67 or 2 mg/kg) of NRG-1β bi-weekly for 4 weeks, beginning one week after infarct. Based on paired-end RNA sequencing, NRG-1β treatment altered the intercostal muscle gene expression of 581 transcripts, including genes required for myofiber growth, maintenance and survival, such as MYH3, MYHC, MYL6B, KY and HES1. Importantly, NRG-1β altered the directionality of at least 85 genes associated with cachexia, including myostatin, which negatively regulates myoblast differentiation by down-regulating MyoD expression. Consistent with this, MyoD was increased in NRG-1β-treated animals. In vitro experiments with myoblast cell lines confirmed that NRG-1β induces ERBB-dependent differentiation. These findings suggest a NRG-1β-mediated anti-atrophic, anti-cachexia effect that may provide additional benefits to this potential therapy in heart failure.

Abstract
ATP1B4 genes represent a rare instance of orthologous vertebrate gene co-option that radically changed properties of the encoded BetaM proteins, which function as Na,K-ATPase subunits in lower vertebrates and birds. Eutherian BetaM has lost its ancestral function and became a muscle-specific resident of the inner nuclear membrane. Our earlier work implicated BetaM in regulation of gene expression through direct interaction with the transcriptional co-regulator SKIP. To gain insight into evolution of BetaM interactome we performed expanded screening of eutherian and avian cDNA libraries using yeast-two-hybrid and split-ubiquitin systems. The inventory of identified BetaM interactors includes lamina-associated protein LAP-1, myocyte nuclear envelope protein Syne1, BetaM itself, heme oxidases HMOX1 and HMOX2; transcription factor LZIP/CREB3, ERGIC3, PHF3, reticulocalbin-3, and β-sarcoglycan. No new interactions were found for chicken BetaM and human Na,K-ATPase β1, β2 and β3 isoforms, indicating the uniqueness of eutherian BetaM interactome. Analysis of truncated forms of BetaM indicates that residues 72-98 adjacent to the membrane in nucleoplasmic domain are important for the interaction with SKIP. These findings demonstrate that evolutionary alterations in structural and functional properties of eutherian BetaM proteins are associated with the increase in its interactome complexity.

Abstract
Membrane transport systems participate in fundamental activities such as cell cycle control, proliferation, survival, volume regulation, pH maintenance and regulation of extracellular matrix synthesis. Multiple isoforms of Na(+), K(+)-ATPase are expressed in primary chondrocytes. Some of these isoforms have previously been reported to be expressed exclusively in electrically excitable cells (i.e., cardiomyocytes and neurons). Studying the distribution of Na(+), K(+)-ATPase isoforms in chondrocytes makes it possible to document the diversity of isozyme pairing and to clarify issues concerning Na(+), K(+)-ATPase isoform abundance and the physiological relevance of their expression. In this study, we investigated the expression of Na(+), K(+)-ATPase in a human chondrocyte cell line (C-20/A4) using a combination of immunological and biochemical techniques. A panel of well-characterized antibodies revealed abundant expression of the α1, β1 and β2 isoforms. Western blot analysis of plasma membranes confirmed the above findings. Na(+), K(+)-ATPase consists of multiple isozyme variants that endow chondrocytes with additional homeostatic control capabilities. In terms of Na(+), K(+)-ATPase expression, the C-20/A4 cell line is phenotypically similar to primary and in situ chondrocytes. However, unlike freshly isolated chondrocytes, C-20/A4 cells are an easily accessible and convenient in vitro model for the study of Na(+), K(+)-ATPase expression and regulation in chondrocytes.

Abstract
Toxic thyroid adenoma presenting as hypokalemic periodic paralysis is extraordinarily rare. We describe a 26-year-old Japanese man who suffered from acute and painful muscle weakness of extremity in the morning. Physical examination showed a left anterior neck mass and laboratory tests revealed hypokalemia during his paralysis, and thyrotoxicosis. Neck sonogram showed a solitary nodule in the left lobe of the thyroid. Thyroid scintigraphy revealed a hot nodule of the tumor region with suppressed uptake in the other thyroid area. The tumor was surgically removed and his paralytic attack ceased. No somatic mutation of TSH receptor was found in his thyroid adenoma and no known genetic mutations of ionic channel genes, such as calcium (CACN1S), sodium (SCN4A) and potassium (KCNE3), were found. Although thyrotoxic periodic paralysis is usually accompanied with Graves' disease, thyrotoxicosis of other conditions including Plummer's disease should be considered.

Abstract
Change in gene functions (gene cooption) is one of the key mechanisms of molecular evolution. Genes can acquire new functions via alteration in properties of encoded proteins and/or via changes in temporal or spatial regulation of expression. Here we demonstrate radical changes in the functions of orthologous ATP1B4 genes during evolution of vertebrates. Expression of ATP1B4 genes is brain-specific in teleost fishes, whereas it is predominantly muscle-specific in tetrapods. The encoded beta m-proteins in fish, amphibian, and avian species are beta-subunits of Na,K-ATPase located in the plasma membrane. In placental mammals beta m-proteins lost their ancestral functions, accumulate in nuclear membrane of perinatal myocytes, and associate with transcriptional coregulator Ski-interacting protein (SKIP). Through interaction with SKIP, eutherian beta m acquired new functions as exemplified by regulation of TGF-beta-responsive reporters and by augmentation of mRNA levels of Smad7, an inhibitor of TGF-beta signaling. Thus, orthologous vertebrate ATP1B4 genes represent an instance of gene cooption that created fundamental changes in the functional properties of the encoded proteins.

Abstract
This review focuses on the electrical properties of the transverse (T) tubular membrane of skeletal muscle, with reference to the contribution of the T-tubular system (TTS) to the surface action potential, the radial spread of excitation and its role in excitation-contraction coupling. Particularly, the most important ion channels and ion transporters that enable proper depolarization and repolarization of the T-tubular membrane are described. Since propagation of excitation along the TTS into the depth of the fibers is a delicate balance between excitatory and inhibitory currents, the composition of channels and transporters is specific to the TTS and different from the surface membrane. The TTS normally enables the radial spread of excitation and the signal transfer to the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release calcium that activates the contractile apparatus. However, due to its structure, even slight shifts of ions may alter its volume, Nernstian potentials, ion permeabilities, and consequently T-tubular membrane potential and excitability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) is a complication of hyperthyroidism association with recurrent, reversible episodes of muscle weakness. Increased sodium-potassium ATPase (Na/K-ATPase) pump activity is postulated to contribute to the hypokalaemic paralytic attacks in TPP. The aim of this study was to determine the genetic predisposition to TPP in relation to Na/K-ATPase genes. DESIGN A case-control association study. PATIENTS Ninety-nine male Chinese TPP patients were compared to 84 male Graves' disease (GD) patients without TPP and 100 normal male controls. MEASUREMENT A total of 1500 base pairs upstream of the transcriptional start site of the five Na/K-ATPase genes that are expressed in the skeletal muscles, namely ATP1A1, ATP1A2, ATP1B1, ATP1B2 and ATP1B4, were sequenced in all subjects for mutations or polymorphisms. The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the coding regions of the five genes were also studied for association with TPP. RESULTS No mutations were detected in the 5' regions of the five genes in any of the patients studied. There was no difference in the distribution of SNPs and SNP haplotypes in the upstream and coding region of these genes between the three groups of subjects. CONCLUSION No association between the polymorphisms of ATP1A1, ATP1A2, ATP1B1, ATP1B2 and ATP1B4 genes and TPP could be detected.

Abstract
The lumen of the inner ear has an unusually low concentration of endolymphatic Na+, which is important for transduction processes. We have recently shown that glucocorticoid receptors (GR) stimulate absorption of Na+by semicircular canal duct (SCCD) epithelia. In the present study, we sought to determine the presence of genes involved in the control of the amiloride-sensitive Na+transport pathway in rat SCCD epithelia and whether their level of expression was regulated by glucocorticoids using quantitative real-time RT-PCR. Transcripts were present for α-, β-, and γ-subunits of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC); the α1-, α3-, β1-, and β3-isoforms of Na+-K+-ATPase; inwardly rectifying potassium channels [IC50of short circuit current ( Isc) for Ba2+: 210 μM] Kir2.1, Kir2.2, Kir2.3, Kir2.4, Kir3.1, Kir3.3, Kir4.1, Kir4.2, Kir5.1, and Kir7.1; sulfonyl urea receptor 1 (SUR1); GR; mineralocorticoid receptor (MR); 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11β-HSD) types 1 and 2; serum- and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 (Sgk1); and neural precursor cell-expressed developmentally downregulated 4-2 (Nedd4-2). On the other hand, transcripts for the α4-subunit of Na+-K+-ATPase, Kir1.1, Kir3.2, Kir3.4, Kir6.1, Kir6.2, and SUR2 were found to be absent, and Iscwas not inhibited by glibenclamide. Dexamethasone (100 nM for 24 h) not only upregulated the transcript expression of α-ENaC (∼4-fold), β2-subunit (∼2-fold) and β3-subunit (∼8-fold) of Na+-K+-ATPase, Kir2.1 (∼5-fold), Kir2.2 (∼9-fold), Kir2.4 (∼3-fold), Kir3.1 (∼ 3- fold), Kir3.3 (∼2-fold), Kir4.2 (∼3-fold ), Kir7.1 (∼2-fold), Sgk1 (∼4-fold), and Nedd4-2 (∼2-fold) but also downregulated GR (∼3-fold) and 11β-HSD1 (∼2-fold). Expression of GR and 11β-HSD1 was higher than MR and 11β-HSD2 in the absence of dexamethasone. Dexamethasone altered transcript expression levels (α-ENaC and Sgk1) by activation of GR but not MR. Proteins were present for the α-, β-, and γ-subunits of ENaC and Sgk1, and expression of α- and γ-ENaC was upregulated by dexamethasone. These findings are consistent with the genomic stimulation by glucocorticoids of Na+absorption by SCCD and provide an understanding of the therapeutic action of glucocorticoids in the treatment of Meniere's disease.

Abstract
The Na,K-ATPase comprises a family of isozymes that catalyze the active transport of cytoplasmic Na+ for extracellular K+ at the plasma membrane of cells. Isozyme diversity for the Na,K-ATPase results from the association of different molecular forms of the alpha (alpha1, alpha2, alpha3, and alpha4) and beta (beta1, beta2, and beta3) subunits that constitute the enzyme. The various isozymes are characterized by unique enzymatic properties and a highly regulated pattern of expression that depends on cell type, developmental stage, and hormonal stimulation. The molecular complexity of the Na,K-ATPase goes beyond its alpha and beta isoforms and, in certain tissues, other accessory proteins associate with the enzyme. These small membrane-bound polypeptides, known as the FXYD proteins, modulate the kinetic characteristics of the Na,K-ATPase. The experimental evidence available suggests that the molecular and functional heterogeneity of the Na,K-ATPase is a physiologically relevant event that serves the specialized functions of cells. This article focuses on the functional properties, regulation, and the biological relevance of the Na,K-ATPase isozymes as a mechanism for the tissue-specific control of Na+ and K+ homeostasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous experiments from our laboratory have demonstrated that HKalpha(2) coimmunoprecipitated with beta(1)-Na(+),K(+)-ATPase. Although HKalpha(2) is expressed abundantly in the apical membrane of distal colon, the demonstration that beta(1) localizes to this same membrane in distal colon has not been demonstrated previously. METHODS Immunolocalization was performed in distal colon using a polyclonal antibody against HKalpha(2) and a monoclonal antibody against beta(1). RESULTS The results demonstrate that HKalpha(2) localizes to the apical membrane. Two pools of beta(1)-Na(+),K(+)-ATPase were detected. The first localized to the apical membrane. The second pool was detected in the basolateral membrane when distal colon sections were deglycosylated with glycosidase F. Therefore, our results demonstrate that beta(1) localizes to the apical membrane with HKalpha(2), and supports the view that beta(1) is the physiologic beta-subunit for HKalpha(2). We tested, therefore, the efficiency of the two beta-subunits expressed in distal colon (beta(1) and beta(3)) to support the activity of HKalpha(2). Human embryonic kidney HEK-293 cells were transiently cotransfected with HKalpha(2) plus beta(1) or HKalpha(2) plus beta(3). Subsequently, (86)Rb(+)-uptake and plasma membrane localization were evaluated. The results demonstrate that both HKalpha(2)/beta(1) and HKalpha(2)/beta(3) support (86)Rb(+)-uptake. However, (86)Rb(+)-uptake measured in the cells cotransfected with HKalpha(2) plus beta(1) exceeded that measured in cells expressing HKalpha(2)/beta(3). Fluorescence microscopy using enhanced green fluorescent protein cloned at the amino-terminus of HKalpha(2) demonstrated protein migration to the plasma membrane in cells cotransfected with EGFP-HKalpha(2) plus beta(1). In contrast, in cells cotransfected with EGFP-HKalpha(2) plus beta(3), the vast majority of the protein remained confined to intracellular compartments. The significantly higher (86)Rb(+)-uptake corresponded to additional localization of HKalpha(2) to the plasma membrane when coexpressed with beta(1) compared to beta(3). CONCLUSION Taken together, these and previous results from our laboratory indicate that beta(1)-Na(+),K(+)-ATPase is likely to represent the most physiologic and efficient subunit for HKalpha(2) assembly in distal colon.

Abstract
Transporting epithelia posed formidable conundrums right from the moment that Du Bois Raymond discovered their asymmetric behavior, a century and a half ago. It took a century and a half to start unraveling the mechanisms of occluding junctions and polarity, but we now face another puzzle: lest its cells died in minutes, the first high metazoa (i.e., higher than a sponge) needed a transporting epithelium, but a transporting epithelium is an incredibly improbable combination of occluding junctions and cell polarity. How could these coincide in the same individual organism and within minutes? We review occluding junctions (tight and septate) as well as the polarized distribution of Na+-K+-ATPase both at the molecular and the cell level. Junctions and polarity depend on hosts of molecular species and cellular processes, which are briefly reviewed whenever they are suspected to have played a role in the dawn of epithelia and metazoan. We come to the conclusion that most of the molecules needed were already present in early protozoan and discuss a few plausible alternatives to solve the riddle described above.

Abstract
The structural organization of nongastric H-K-ATPase, unlike that of closely related Na-K-ATPase and gastric H-K-ATPase, is not well characterized. Recently, we demonstrated that nongastric H-K-ATPase α-subunit (αng) is expressed in apical membranes of rodent prostate. Its highest level, as well as relative abundance, with respect to α1-isoform of Na-K-ATPase, was observed in anterior lobe. Here, we aimed to determine the subunit composition of nongastric H-K-ATPase through the detailed analysis of the expression of all known X-K-ATPase β-subunits in rat anterior prostate (AP). RT-PCR detects transcripts of β-subunits of Na-K-ATPase only. Measurement of absolute protein content of these three β-subunit isoforms, with the use of quantitative Western blotting of AP membrane proteins, indicates that the abundance order is β1> β3≫ β2. Immunohistochemical experiments demonstrate that β1is present predominantly in apical membranes, coinciding with αng, whereas β3is localized in the basolateral compartment, coinciding with α1. This is the first direct demonstration of the αng-β1colocalization in situ indicating that, in rat AP, αngassociates only with β1. The existence of αng-β1complex has been confirmed by immunoprecipitation experiments. These results indicate that β1-isoform functions as the authentic subunit of Na-K-ATPase and nongastric H-K-ATPase. Putatively, the intracellular polarization of X-K-ATPase isoforms depends on interaction with other proteins.

Abstract
Recently discovered muscle-specific βmprotein is structurally closely related to the X,K-ATPase β-subunits. However, it has a number of unique properties such as predominant localization in intracellular stores and lack of association with known X,K-ATPase α-subunits on heterologous coexpression. In this study, the primary structure of mouse βmwas determined and developmental regulation of the gene (ATP1B4) was analyzed. The expression is first detected at day 14 of gestation, is sharply increased at day 16, and reaches its maximum at day 18. After birth, the expression quickly decreases and is hardly detectable in adult mice. A more detailed subcellular localization study was undertaken, and its results indicate that βmnot only is located in sarcoplasmic reticulum but is concentrated in nuclear envelopes of both prenatal and postnatal skeletal muscles. Immunohistochemical studies show that βmis specific to myocytes and, at the subcellular level, many nuclear envelopes are intensively labeled in both fetal and newborn skeletal muscles. Accordingly, βmis detected by immunoblotting in purified nuclei and nuclear membranes from neonatal skeletal muscles. On transfection of human rhabdomyosarcoma cell line RD, green fluorescent protein-tagged βmresides intracellularly with significant enrichment in nuclear envelopes, whereas βmwith transmembrane domain deleted localizes in both cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. Nuclear βmapparently is not in association with Na,K-ATPase because we never detected its α-subunit in myonuclear membranes. These results indicate that βmhas a specialized function in mammalian perinatal myocytes, different from functions of other X,K-ATPase β-subunits. The unique temporospatial distribution of βmprotein expression suggests its important role in development of growing skeletal muscle.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the expression and plasma membrane domain location of isoforms of Na,K-ATPase in the rat ventral prostate. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ventral prostate glands from adult male rats were dissected, cryosectioned (7 micro m) and attached to poly-l-lysine coated glass slides. The sections were then fixed in methanol and subjected to indirect immunofluorescence and immunoperoxidase procedures using a panel of well-characterized monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies raised against known Na,K-ATPase subunit isoforms. Immunofluorescence micrographs were digitally captured and analysed by image analysis software. RESULTS There was expression of Na,K-ATPase alpha1, beta1, beta2 and beta3 subunit isoforms in the lateral and basolateral plasma membrane domains of prostatic epithelial cells. The alpha1 isoform was abundant but there was no evidence of alpha2, alpha3 or gamma isoform expression in epithelial cells. The alpha3 isoform was not detected, but there was a relatively low level of alpha2 isoform expression in the smooth muscle and stroma. CONCLUSION Rat prostate Na,K-ATPase consists of alpha1/beta1, alpha1/beta2 and alpha1/beta3 isoenzymes. These isoform proteins were located in the lateral and basolateral plasma membrane domains of ventral prostatic epithelial cells. The distribution and subcellular localization of Na,K-ATPase is different in rodent and human prostate. Basolateral Na,K-ATPase probably contributes to the establishment of transepithelial ionic gradients that are a prerequisite for the uptake of metabolites by secondary active transport mechanisms and active citrate secretion.

Abstract
Autoradiographic and cytochemical procedures were employed to determine the cellular distribution of the Na,K-ATPase enzyme in the mammalian vestibular system. A light-microscope survey of vestibular tissues incubated with [(3)H]ouabain shows high densities of ouabain binding sites within the dark cell epithelium (DC) of the ampullae of the semi-circular canals, and to a lesser extent, the DC of the utricular macula. A moderate number of binding sites was found in nerve fibers penetrating the connective tissue beneath the sensory epithelium (SE) of the ampullae and the maculae. A small number of binding sites is distributed in the deep portion of the SE, both in the ampullae and in the maculae. These latter binding sites seem to be associated with nerve terminals and receptor cells. At the ultrastructural level, the vestibular dark cells exhibit extensive basolateral membrane infolding, a morphological hallmark of cells engaged in trans-epithelial ion transport. The cytochemical reaction product is K(+)-dependent, ouabain inhibitable, and is restricted to the basolateral membrane extensions, with little or no product on the luminal membrane. The extent of membrane infolding in dark cells of the utricle is less pronounced than that of the ampullar dark cells and the intensity of the cytochemical reaction appears to correlate with the extent of membrane infolding. The results support the widely held hypothesis that the vestibular dark cells play a role in endolymph production. They also suggest that the vestibular sensory epithelia may be a site of ion exchange.

Abstract
The Na, K-ATPase is formed by two major subunits (alpha and beta) encoded by a gene family of at least four alpha and three beta isoforms. These genes show distinctive expression patterns involving complex tissue-specific and developmental regulation, although the control mechanisms are not well understood. Here we study the role of chromatin structure in the tissue-specific expression of rat Na, K-ATPase beta2 isoform, which is mainly found in the central nervous system. We have examined the presence and characteristics of nuclease hypersensitive sites and the cytosine methylation patterns in the 5'-flanking region of the beta2 isoform gene from various nuclear preparations. Our results show that in this 5'-flanking region there is only one nuclease hypersensitive site. It is located upstream of the transcription initiation site and shows tissue-specific characteristics. Digestion with deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I), S1 nuclease and micrococcal nuclease yield patterns consistent with a triple-helix structure present only in the active state of the promoter. We also demonstrate that the 5'-flanking region of the beta2 gene co-localizes with a CpG island free of methylation in every tissue tested. The results presented here support a role for specific chromatin remodeling events in the regulation of the Na, K-ATPase beta2 gene expression. They also provide the basis for future studies of the transcription factors involved in the regulation of this gene.

Abstract
betam, a muscle-specific protein, is structurally closely related to the X,K-ATPase beta subunits, but its intrinsic function is not known. In this study, we have expressed betam in Xenopus oocytes and have investigated its biosynthesis and processing as well as its putative role as a chaperone of X,K-ATPase alpha subunits, as a regulator of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA), or as a Ca(2+)-sensing protein. Our results show that betam is stably expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in its core glycosylated, partially trimmed form. Both full-length betam, initiated at Met(1), and short betam species, initiated at Met(89), are detected in in vitro translations as well as in Xenopus oocytes. betam cannot associate with and stabilize Na,K-ATPase (NK), or gastric and nongastric H,K-ATPase (HK) alpha isoforms. betam neither assembles stably with SERCA nor is its trypsin sensitivity or electrophoretic mobility influenced by Ca(2+). A mutant, in which the distinctive Glu-rich regions in the betam N-terminus are deleted, remains stably expressed in the ER and can associate with, but not stabilize X,K-ATPase alpha subunits. On the other hand, a chimera in which the ectodomain of betam is replaced with that of beta1 NK associates efficiently with alpha NK isoforms and produces functional Na,K-pumps at the plasma membrane. In conclusion, our results indicate that betam exhibits a cellular location and functional role clearly distinct from the typical X,K-ATPase beta subunits.

Abstract
The sequence of the pig cDNA encoding the muscle-specific betam-protein, a member of the X,K-ATPase beta-subunits family, was determined. Two alternatively spliced transcripts encoding polypeptide chains of 355 and 351 residues were identified. The tissue specificity of expression of betam and other X,K-ATPase beta-subunit genes was studied by RT-PCR performed on 24 tissues from newborn pigs. The betam expression was shown to be highly tissue-specific, being detected at the highest level in skeletal muscle, at a lower level in heart, and at much lower level in skin. The betam transcripts are more abundant in the tissues from the newborn than adult. Immunoblotting and deglycosylation shift assay indicated that skeletal muscle membranes of newborn pigs contain betam protein with an electrophoretic mobility and carbohydrate content very similar to that of human betam. Fractionation of membranes from both newborn and adult pig skeletal muscles by isopycnic centrifugation revealed that the majority of the betam protein is concentrated in the sarcoplasmic reticulum-containing fractions. This intracellular location is a unique property that distinguishes the betam protein from other members of the X,K-ATPase beta-subunit family.

Abstract
We previously demonstrated that the alpha-subunit of human nongastric H,K-ATPase (Atp1al1) can assemble with the gastric H,K-ATPase beta-subunit (betaHK) into an active ion pump upon coexpression in Xenopus oocytes. To gain insight into enzymatic functions, we have analyzed the Atp1al1-betaHK complex using a baculovirus expression system. The efficient formation of the functional Atp1al1-betaHK complex in membranes of Sf-21 insect cells was obtained upon co-infection with recombinant baculoviruses expressing Atp1al1 and betaHK. Expression of either protein alone did not produce active ATPase. The effects of K(+), Na(+), pH, and ATP and inhibitors on ATPase activity of the recombinant Atp1al1-betaHK complex were analyzed. The Atp1al1-betaHK complex was shown to exhibit significant ATPase activity in nominally K(+)-free medium. The addition of K(+) stimulated the ATP hydrolysis up to 3-fold with K(m) approximately 116 microM K(+). The ATPase activity was moderately sensitive to ouabain and to SCH 28080 with apparent K(i) values in K(+)-free medium of approximately 64 microM and approximately 93 microM, respectively. Potassium exhibited strong antagonism toward both inhibitors. Assays of the ouabain-sensitive ATPase activity revealed inhibitory effects of Na(+) with the apparent K(i) of approximately 24 mM in the absence of added K(+) and with K(i) within the range of 60-70 mM in the presence of > or = 1 mM K(+). Thus, the human nongastric H,K-ATPase represented by the recombinant Atp1al1-betaHK complex exhibits enzymatic properties of K(+)-dependent ATPase sensitive to ouabain, SCH 28080, and Na(+). It differs from Na,K-ATPase in cation dependence and differs from gastric H,K-ATPase and Na,K-ATPase in sensitivity to inhibitors.

Abstract
A -1027 bp to + 108 bp region of Na-K-ATPase alpha3 gene promoter has been searched for the presence of thyroid response elements (TRE). Computer analysis of this sequence using a consensus TRE sequence revealed the presence of four putative TRE rich regions referred to as regions I (-636 to -457 bp), II (-218 to -106 bp), III (-106 to -6 bp) and IV (-6 to +108 bp). Cotransfection of the luciferase linked full length construct as well as constructs progressively devoid of the TRE rich regions in Cos1 cells revealed that regions I and III are positively regulated by T3 whereas there are some sequences in region II which can suppress the positive regulatory effect of region III but not of region I. TRE IV seems to have no functional role. EMSA of the three functional TRE rich regions (I, II and III) showed strong and specific interaction with thyroid hormone receptor (TR) cloned and expressed in baculovirus. The overall results suggest the regulation of Na-K-ATPase alpha3 gene by T3 is complex involving several thyroidal regulatory elements.

Abstract
Recently we have identified mRNA encoding a hitherto unknown mammalian X,K-ATPase beta-subunit expressed predominantly in muscle tissue (Pestov, N. B. et al. (1999) FEBS Lett. 456, 243-248). Here we demonstrate the existence of the predicted protein, designated as beta(m) (beta(muscle)), in human adult skeletal muscle membranes using immunoblotting with beta(m)-specific antibodies generated against recombinant polypeptide formed by extramembrane beta(m) domains. The electrophoretic mobility of beta(m) was shown to be abnormally low due to the presence of Glu-rich sequences. In contrast to mature forms of other known X,K-ATPase beta-subunits, carbohydrate moiety of beta(m) is sensitive to endoglycosidase H and appears to be composed of short high-mannose or hybrid N-glycans. This finding argues in favor of an intracellular location of beta(m) in human skeletal muscle.

Abstract
The physiologic function of an ion pump is determined, in part, by its subcellular localization and by the cellular mechanisms that modulate its activity. The Na,K-ATPase and the gastric H,K-ATPase are two closely related members of the P-type family of ion transporting ATPases. Despite their homology, these pumps are sorted to different domains in polarized epithelial cells and their enzymatic activities are subject to distinct regulatory pathways. The molecular signals responsible for these properties have begun to be elucidated. It appears that a complex array of inter- and intra-molecular interactions govern these proteins' trafficking, distribution and catalytic capacity.
