Abstract
We used the gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase as a molecular marker to provide a comprehensive kinetic analysis of the effects of Co2+in vitro on the modulation of K+-phosphatase activity in the Blue crab Callinectes danae. Co2+ can stimulate or inhibit K+-phosphatase activity. With Mg2+, K+-phosphatase activity is almost completely inhibited by Co2+. Co2+ stimulates K+-phosphatase activity similarly to Mg2+ although with a ≈4.5-fold greater affinity. At saturating Mg2+ concentrations, Mg2+ displaces bound Co2+ from the Mg2+-binding site in a concentration dependent manner, but Co2+ cannot displace Mg2+ from its binding site even at millimolar concentrations. Saturation by Co2+ of the Mg2+ binding site does not affect pNPP recognition by the enzyme. Substitution of Mg2+ by Co2+ slightly increases enzyme affinity for K+ and NH4+. Independently of Mg2+, inhibition by ouabain or sodium ions is unaffected by Co2+. Investigation of gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase K+-phosphatase activity provides a reliable tool to examine the kinetic effects of Co2+ with and without Na+ and ATP. Given that the toxic effects of Co2+ at the molecular level are poorly understood, these findings advance our knowledge of the mechanism of action of Co2+ on the crustacean gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase.

Abstract
The Na(+)-HCO(3)(-) cotransporter NBCn1 (SLC4A7) has multiple variants depending upon splice domains in the cytoplasmic amino- and carboxy-termini of the protein. In this study, we examined the role of the amino-terminal splice domain containing 123 amino acids (cassette II) in the regulation of NBCn1 function and expression. Polymerase chain reaction detected NBCn1 mRNAs containing cassette II in a variety of tissues. Two variants, NBCn1-B containing cassette II and NBCn1-E lacking cassette II, were expressed in Xenopus oocytes and assessed by two-electrode voltage clamp to measure the ionic current mediated by the transporters. The two variants showed similar current-voltage (I-V) relations when measured 3-4 days after RNA injection. Replacment of Cl() with gluconate did not affect the I-V relations. When exposed to solutions containing 20-50 mm Na(+), the current produced by NBCn1-B was slightly more positive than that produced by NBCn1-E. The two currents were similar at 100 mm Na(+). The slope conductances for the two variants were progressively increased at higher Na(+) levels, and the increases were parallel and superimposed. Measured at different time points after RNA injection, NBCn1-B produced lower conductance than NBCn1-E at 24-48 h. Protein expression of NBCn1-B was also low at these time points as determined by immunoblot of oocyte membrane preparation. Expressed in opossum kidney (OK) cells, NBCn1-E caused a 1.5-fold increase in ouabain-sensitive production of p-nitrophenol from p-phenyl phosphate compared with control preparations, whereas NBCn1-B had negligible effect. We conclude that the primary function of cassette II is to reduce NBCn1 protein expression.

Abstract
Cardiotonic glycosides, like ouabain, inhibit Na+-K+-ATPase. Recent evidence suggests that low molar concentrations of ouabain alter cell growth. Studies were conducted to examine the effect of ouabain on Akt phosphorylation and rate of cell proliferation in opossum kidney (OK) proximal tubule cells. Cells exposed to 10 nM ouabain displayed increased Akt Ser473phosphorylation, as evidenced by an increase in phospho-Akt Ser473band density. Ouabain-stimulated Akt Ser473phosphorylation was inhibited by pretreatment with phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors (LY294002 and wortmannin), a PLC inhibitor (edelfosine), and an Akt inhibitor. Moreover, ouabain-mediated Akt Ser473phosphorylation was suppressed by reduction of extracellular calcium (EGTA) or when intracellular calcium was buffered by BAPTA-AM. An inhibitor of calcium store release (TMB-8) and an inhibitor of calcium entry via store-operated calcium channels ( SKF96365 ) also suppressed ouabain-mediated Akt Ser473phosphorylation. In fura-2 AM-loaded cells, 10 nM ouabain increased capacitative calcium entry (CCE). Ouabain at 10 nM did not significantly alter baseline cytoplasmic calcium concentration in control cells. However, treatment with 10 nM ouabain caused a significantly higher ATP-mediated calcium store release. After 24 h, 10 nM ouabain increased the rate of cell proliferation. The Akt inhibitor, BAPTA-AM, SKF96365 , and cyclopiazonic acid suppressed the increase in the rate of cell proliferation caused by 10 nM ouabain. Ouabain at 10 nM caused a detectable increase in86Rb uptake but did not significantly alter Na+-K+-ATPase (ouabain-sensitive pNPPase) activity in crude membranes or cell sodium content. Taken together, the results point to a role for CCE and Akt phosphorylation, in response to low concentrations of ouabain, that increase the rate of cell proliferation without inhibiting Na+-K+-ATPase-mediated ion transport.

Abstract
A versatile solid-phase synthesis strategy for preparing peptidechelate conjugates was developed. The methodology was optimized using a series of ligands, designed to bind Tc(I)/Re(I), and a chemotactic peptide fMFL, which was exploited as a model targeting vector. The peptide derivatives were prepared in parallel using a conventional automated peptide synthesizer in multi-milligram quantities, which provided sufficient material to perform complete characterization, radiolabelling, and in vitro screening studies. Because of the robust nature of the metalchelate complexes, the Re complex of a chelatepeptide conjugate was prepared on the resin using the same methodology employed to prepare the free ligand conjugates. As such, the reported methodology is amenable to the preparation of libraries of novel Tc radiopharmaceutical ligands and their corresponding Re reference standards in which several factors, including peptide sequence, site of derivatization, and both the type and length of the spacer, can be easily varied.Key words: radiopharmaceuticals, technetium, rhenium, peptides, solid-phase synthesis.

Abstract
It was demonstrated that expression of murine sodium hydrogen exchanger regulatory factor (NHERF-1) lacking the ezrin-binding domain blocks parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulation of Na+,K+-ATPase in opossum kidney (OK) cells. The hypothesis that the NHERF-1 PDZ domains contribute to PTH regulation of Na+,K+-ATPase was tested by comparison of PTH regulation of Na+,K+-ATPase in wild-type OK (OK-WT) cells, NHERF-deficient OKH cells, OK-WT transfected with siRNA for NHERF (NHERF siRNA OK-WT), and OKH cells that were stably transfected with full-length NHERF-1 or constructs with mutated PDZ domains. OKH cells and NHERF siRNA OK-WT showed decreased expression of NHERF-1 but equivalent expression of ezrin and Na+,K+-ATPase alpha1 subunit when compared with OK-WT cells. PTH decreased Na+,K+-ATPase activity and stimulated phosphorylation of the Na+,K+-ATPase alpha1 in OK-WT cells but not in NHERF-deficient cells. Rubidium (86Rb) uptake was equivalent in OK-WT, OKH, and OKH cells that were transfected with all but the double PDZ domain mutants. PTH decreased 86Rb uptake significantly in OK-WT but not in OKH cells. PTH also significantly inhibited 86Rb uptake in OKH cells that were transfected with full-length NHERF-1 or NHERF-1 with mutated PDZ 2 but not in OKH cells that were transfected with mutated PDZ 1. Transfection with NHERF expressing both mutated PDZ domains resulted in diminished basal 86Rb uptake that was not inhibited further by PTH. PTH stimulated protein kinase Calpha activity and alpha1 subunit phosphorylation in OK-WT but not in NHERF-deficient cells. Transfection of OKH cells with NHERF constructs that contained an intact PDZ1 domain restored PTH-stimulated protein kinase Calpha activity and alpha1 subunit phosphorylation. These results demonstrate that NHERF-1 is necessary for PTH-mediated inhibition of Na+,K+-ATPase activity and that the inhibition is mediated through the PDZ1, not PDZ2, domain.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) inhibits Na+-K+-ATPase activity by serine phosphorylation of the alpha1 subunit through protein kinase C (PKC)- and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-dependent pathways. Based on previous studies we postulated that PTH regulates sodium pump activity through isoform-specific PKC-dependent activation of ERK. In the present work utilizing opossum kidney cells, a model of renal proximal tubule, PTH stimulated membrane translocation of PKCalpha by 102 +/- 16% and PKCbetaI by 41 +/- 7% but had no effect on PKCbetaII and PKCzeta. Both PKCalpha and PKCbetaI phosphorylated the Na+-K+-ATPase alpha1 subunit in vitro. PTH increased the activity of PKCalpha but not PKCbetaI. Coimmunoprecipitation assays demonstrated that treatment with PTH enhanced the association between Na+-K+-ATPase alpha1 subunit and PKCalpha, whereas the association between Na+-K+-ATPase alpha1 subunit and PKCbetaI remained unchanged. A PKCalpha inhibitory peptide blocked PTH-stimulated serine phosphorylation of the Na+-K+-ATPase alpha1 subunit and inhibition of Na+-K+-ATPase activity. Pharmacologic inhibition of MEK-1 blocked PTH-stimulated translocation of PKCalpha, whereas transfection of constitutively active MEK-1 cDNA induced translocation of PKCalpha and increased phosphorylation of the Na+-K+-ATPase alpha1 subunit. In contrast, PTH-stimulated ERK activation was not inhibited by pretreatment with the PKCalpha inhibitory peptide. Inhibition of PKCalpha expression by siRNA did not inhibit PTH-mediated ERK activation but significantly reduced PTH-mediated phosphorylation of the Na+-K+-ATPase alpha1 subunit. Pharmacologic inhibition of phosphoinositide 3-kinase blocked PTH-stimulated ERK activation, translocation of PKCalpha, and phosphorylation of the Na+-K+-ATPase alpha1 subunit. We conclude that PTH stimulates Na+-K+-ATPase phosphorylation and decreases the activity of Na+-K+-ATPase by ERK-dependent activation of PKCalpha.

Abstract
The structural stability of the large cytoplasmic domain (H(4)-H(5) loop) of mouse alpha(1) subunit of Na(+)/K(+) ATPase (L354-I777), the number and the location of its binding sites for 2'-3'-O-(trinitrophenyl) adenosine 5'-triphosphate (TNP-ATP) and p-nitrophenylphosphate (pNPP) were investigated. C- and N-terminal shortening revealed that neither part of the phosphorylation (P)-domain are necessary for TNP-ATP binding. There is no indication of a second ATP site on the P-domain of the isolated loop, even though others reported previously of its existence by TNP-N(3)ADP affinity labeling of the full enzyme. Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-anisotropy measurements reveal a considerable stability of the nucleotide (N)-domain suggesting that it may not undergo a substantial conformational change upon ATP binding. The FITC modified loop showed only slightly diminished phosphatase activity, most likely due to a pNPP site on the N-domain around N398 whose mutation to D reduced the phosphatase activity by 50%. The amino acids forming this pNPP site (M384, L414, W411, S400, S408) are conserved in the alpha(1-4) isoforms of Na(+)/K(+) ATPase, whereas N398 is only conserved in the vertebrates' alpha(1) subunit. The phosphatase activity of the isolated H(4)-H(5) loop was neither inhibited by ATP, nor affected by mutation of D369, which is phosphorylated in native Na(+)/K(+) ATPase.

Abstract
The photoactive yellow protein (PYP) is a bacterial photosensor containing a para-coumaryl thioester chromophore that absorbs blue light, initiating a photocycle involving a series of conformational changes. Here, we present computational studies to resolve uncertainties and controversies concerning the correspondence between atomic structures and spectroscopic measurements on early photocycle intermediates. The initial nanoseconds of the PYP photocycle are examined using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) to calculate the energy profiles for chromophore photoisomerization and proton transfer, and to calculate excitation energies to identify photocycle intermediates. The calculated potential energy surface for photoisomerization matches key, experimentally determined, spectral parameters. The calculated excitation energy of the photocycle intermediate cryogenically trapped in a crystal structure by Genick et al. [Genick, U. K.; Soltis, S. M.; Kuhn, P.; Canestrelli, I. L.; Getzoff, E. D. Nature 1998, 392, 206-209] supports its assignment to the PYP(B) (I(0)) intermediate. Differences between the time-resolved room temperature (298 K) spectrum of the PYP(B) intermediate and its low temperature (77 K) absorbance are attributed to a predominantly deprotonated chromophore in the former and protonated chromophore in the latter. This contrasts with the widely held belief that chromophore protonation does not occur until after the PYP(L) (I(1) or pR) intermediate. The structure of the chromophore in the PYP(L) intermediate is determined computationally and shown to be deprotonated, in agreement with experiment. Calculations based on our PYP(B) and PYP(L) models lead to insights concerning the PYP(BL) intermediate, observed only at low temperature. The results suggest that the proton is more mobile between Glu46 and the chromophore than previously realized. The findings presented here provide an example of the insights that theoretical studies can contribute to a unified analysis of experimental structures and spectra.

Abstract
Parathyroid hormone (PTH), acting at least in part through a cAMP signaling pathway, regulates three important transporters in the renal proximal convoluted tubule, namely Na-H exchanger 3, Na-K ATPase, and type IIa sodium phosphate cotransporter (NaPi IIa). The regulation of Na-H exchanger 3 by protein kinase A requires a protein co-factor from the sodium-hydrogen exchanger regulatory factor (NHERF) family of proteins (NHERF-1 and NHERF-2). However, the role of NHERF in PTH regulation of Na-K ATPase and NaPi IIa has not been explored. For studying the role of NHERF-1 on PTH regulation of these transporters, wild-type mNHERF-1 (1-355) or mNHERF-1 (1-325) lacking the ezrin-binding domain were expressed in proximal tubule-derived opossum kidney cells. PTH inhibited Na-K ATPase activity in cells expressing wild-type NHERF-1 associated with increased serine phosphorylation of the alpha subunit of the transporter. By contrast, in cells expressing mNHERF (1-325), the phosphorylation of the alpha subunit of Na-K ATPase was blunted and the activity of the transporter was stimulated in response to PTH. Basal sodium-dependent phosphate transport was lower in cells expressing mNHERF-1 (1-325) as compared with cells expressing mNHERF-1 (1-355). Nonetheless, there were no differences in PTH-associated inhibition of the activity or the decrease in membrane expression of the NaPi IIa in any of the cell lines. These experiments document for the first time an association between NHERF-1 and PTH regulation of Na-K ATPase in epithelial cells. These experiments also suggest that the mechanism for retrieval of NaPi IIa transporters from the apical membrane in response to cAMP does not require NHERF.

Abstract
The Na(+)-dependent or E1 stages of the Na,K-ATPase reaction require a few micromolar ATP, but submillimolar concentrations are needed to accelerate the K(+)-dependent or E2 half of the cycle. Here we use Co(NH(3))(4)ATP as a tool to study ATP sites in Na,K-ATPase. The analogue inactivates the K(+) phosphatase activity (an E2 partial reaction) and the Na,K-ATPase activity in parallel, whereas ATP-[(3)H]ADP exchange (an E1 reaction) is affected less or not at all. Although the inactivation occurs as a consequence of low affinity Co(NH(3))(4)ATP binding (K(D) approximately 0.4-0.6 mm), we can also measure high affinity equilibrium binding of Co(NH(3))(4)[(3)H]ATP (K(D) = 0.1 micro m) to the native enzyme. Crucially, we find that covalent enzyme modification with fluorescein isothiocyanate (which blocks E1 reactions) causes little or no effect on the affinity of the binding step preceding Co(NH(3))(4)ATP inactivation and only a 20% decrease in maximal inactivation rate. This suggests that fluorescein isothiocyanate and Co(NH(3))(4)ATP bind within different enzyme pockets. The Co(NH(3))(4)ATP enzyme was solubilized with C(12)E(8) to a homogeneous population of alphabeta protomers, as verified by analytical ultracentrifugation; the solubilization did not increase the Na,K-ATPase activity of the Co(NH(3))(4)ATP enzyme with respect to parallel controls. This was contrary to the expectation for a hypothetical (alphabeta)(2) membrane dimer with a single ATP site per protomer, with or without fast dimer/protomer equilibrium in detergent solution. Besides, the solubilized alphabeta protomer could be directly inactivated by Co(NH(3))(4)ATP, to less than 10% of the control Na,K-ATPase activity. This suggests that the inactivation must follow Co(NH(3))(4)ATP binding at a low affinity site in every protomeric unit, thus still allowing ATP and ADP access to phosphorylation and high affinity ATP sites.

Abstract
Fusion proteins of glutathione-S-transferase and fragments from the large cytoplasmic domain of the sheep Na,K-ATPase alpha1-subunit were expressed in Escherichia coli. The Na,K-ATPase sequences begin at Ala345 and terminate at either Arg600 (DP600f), Thr610 (DP610f), Gly731 (DP731f), or Glu779 (DP779f). After affinity purification on glutathione-Sepharose, the fusion proteins were labeled with [alpha-32P]-2-N3-ATP, and incorporation of the radiolabel into the fusion proteins was measured by scintillation counting after sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Kd values of 220-290 microM for 2-N3-ATP binding to the fusion proteins were obtained from the photolabeling experiments. Approximately 1 mol of 2-N3-ATP was calculated to be incorporated per mole of fusion protein after correction for photochemical incorporation efficiency. Labeling of all of the fusion proteins by 25 microM 2-N3-ATP was reduced in the presence of MgATP, Na2ATP, MgCl2, 2',3'-O-(2,4, 6-trinitrophenyl)-ATP, and p-nitrophenylphosphate, and Ki values of 2-11 mM for Na2ATP, 0.2-5 mM for MgCl2, 0.1-5 mM for MgATP, and 20-300 microM for p-nitrophenylphosphate were calculated for these ligands. All of the fusion proteins catalyze the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenylphosphate. The reaction requires MgCl2 and is inhibited by inorganic phosphate, which is similar to the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenylphosphate by native Na,K-ATPase. Based on these observations, it appears that the soluble fragments from the large cytoplasmic domain of Na,K-ATPase expressed in bacterial cells are folded in an E2-like conformation and are likely to retain much of the native structure.
