Ankyrin binding to (Na+ + K+)ATPase and implications for the organization of membrane domains in polarized cells

The interaction between membrane proteins and cytoplasmic structural proteins is thought to be one mechanism for maintaining the spatial order of proteins within functional domains on the plasma membrane. Such interactions have been characterized extensively in the human erythrocyte, where a dense, cytoplasmic matrix of proteins comprised mainly of spectrin and actin, is attached through a linker protein, ankyrin, to the anion transporter (Band 3). In several nonerythroid cell types, including neurons, exocrine cells and polarized epithelial cells homologues of ankyrin and spectrin (fodrin) are localized in specific membrane domains. Although these results suggest a functional linkage between ankyrin and fodrin and integral membrane proteins in the maintenance of membrane domains in nonerythroid cells, there has been little direct evidence of specific molecular interactions. Using a direct biological and chemical approach, we show here that ankyrin binds to the ubiquitous (Na+ + K+)ATPase, which has an asymmetrical distribution in polarized cells.     

Amino-acid sequence of the beta-subunit of the (Na+ + K+)ATPase deduced from a cDNA

The sodium/potassium-dependent ATPase [(Na+ + K+)ATPase], which establishes and maintains the Na+ and K+ gradients across the plasma membrane of animal cells, consists of two subunits, alpha and beta. Complementary DNA clones encoding the catalytic (alpha) subunit of sheep kidney and Torpedo californica electroplax enzymes have previously been isolated and characterized. However, there is little information concerning the primary structure of the beta-subunit, a glycoprotein of unknown function and relative molecular mass (Mr) approximately 55,000 (ref. 3). Here we describe the isolation and characterization of a cDNA clone containing the entire coding region of the beta-subunit of the sheep kidney (Na+ + K+)ATPase. We also discuss structural aspects of the protein and present evidence for a possible evolutionary relationship with the KdpC subunit of the Escherichia coli K+-ATPase.

铜对小麦根质膜H+-ATPase活性的影响

用两相法提取小麦根质膜微囊,研究了铜对质膜H -ATPase活性的影响.硫酸铜(CuSO4)抑制小麦根质膜H -ATPase的活性,其作用具有浓度依赖性.金属离子螯合剂乙二胺四乙酸二钠(EDTA-Na2,200μmol.L-1)可以完全消除CuSO4对H -ATPase活性的抑制效应.检测硫代巴比妥酸反应物质(TBARS)的相对含量,结果显示Cu2 的加入使质膜微囊产生了较多的TBARS,表明Cu2 作用导致细胞膜发生较强的氧化损害.实验结果表明,CuSO4可以减弱小麦根质膜H -ATPase的活性,此效应是由Cu2 引起的;此外,Cu2 导致质膜微囊产生较强的膜脂过氧化.     

Reduced Na+ and K+ permeability of K+ channel in plasma membrane isolated from roots of salt-tolerant mutant of wheat

The Na⁺ and K⁺ permeability of K⁺ channel in plasma membrane, isolated from roots of the salt-tolerant mutant of wheat, was lower than that of wild type in 100 mmol/L KCl and NaCl solution. The opening frequency of K⁺ channel of the mutant reduced more significantly than that of wild type in two kinds of solution mentioned above. It is assumed that the reduction of opening frequency mainly contributes to the Na⁺ and K⁺ permeability of K⁺ channel of the mutant. The electric conductance of single-channel of the mutant was similar to that of wild type and the main difference between them was exhibited as the opening frequency. Their K⁺/Ka⁺ selectivity of K⁺ channel had no significant difference. The K⁺/Na⁺ selectivity of the mutant and wild type was 3.35 and 3.18 respectively.
