The Na+,K+-ATPase
Gail Virgin
Introduction• Membrane Protein
– Consists minimally of 2 subunits
• Uses ATP to transport 3 Na+ ions into cell and 2 K+ ions out of cell
• Converts 20 – 30 % of current ATP production in resting mammals to Na+ and K+ transport
• P2-Type ATPase– Alkali metal cations– Pump gets phosphorylated during cycle
• D-K-T-G-T-L-T
The Catalytic Cycle
Secondary Structures of the -Subunit
Mutational Anaylsis• D376A -subunit mutant
– Enzymatically inactive– Assembled with -subunit and delivered to PM properly
• Na pump does not need to be active in order to reach PM• All 3 glycosylation Asn replaced with Glu on -subunit
– Proper assembly and trafficking to PM with wild-type -subunit– Catalytically active, but increased susceptibility to degradation
• Mutants with one or more S-S bridge reduced on -subunit– Enzymatically inactive– - and -subunits assemble properly– Heterodimer is retained in ER
• Bridges provide stability• -subunit lacking cytoplasmic domain
– Properly trafficked to PM but inactive
The Subunits• - subunit
– 1028 amino acids– 110 kDa– 10 transmembrane segments– 3 domains
• A domain – Regulatory
• P domain– Phospohorylated
• N domain– ATP binding
– 45% helical– 14% -sheets
• - subunit– Unique to counter K+ transporting
pumps– 305 amino acids– 55 kDa– 3 S-S bonds and 3 glycosylation sites– 16% helical– 16% -sheets
• – domain– FXYD protein– 74 amino acids– Regulates pump in tissue- and
isoform-specific manner– 35% helical
Secondary Structures of the -subunit and -subunit
Ouabain Binding Pocket and K+ Binding Site
Magnesium and Asp376
The – and – subunits
Cardiac Glycosides
• Used to treat congestive heart failure
• Inhibit the Na+,K+-ATPase– Causes increase in
intracellular Na+ levels
– Slows down the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger
– Increases intracellular Ca2+
levels– Results in stronger muscle
contractions
