چکیده

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 alpha-subunit (alpha(ng)) is expressed in apical membranes of rodent prostate. Its highest level, as well as relative abundance, with respect to alpha(1)-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 beta-subunits in rat anterior prostate (AP). RT-PCR detects transcripts of beta-subunits of Na-K-ATPase only. Measurement of absolute protein content of these three beta-subunit isoforms, with the use of quantitative Western blotting of AP membrane proteins, indicates that the abundance order is beta(1) > beta(3) >> beta(2). Immunohistochemical experiments demonstrate that beta(1) is present predominantly in apical membranes, coinciding with alpha(ng), whereas beta(3) is localized in the basolateral compartment, coinciding with alpha(1). This is the first direct demonstration of the alpha(ng)-beta(1) colocalization in situ indicating that, in rat AP, alpha(ng) associates only with beta(1). The existence of alpha(ng-)beta(1) complex has been confirmed by immunoprecipitation experiments. These results indicate that beta(1)-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.

Loss of acidification of anterior prostate fluids in Atp12a-null mutant mice indicates that nongastric H-K-ATPase functions as proton pump in vivo.

The physiological functions of nongastric (colonic) H-K-ATPase (gene symbol Atp12a), unlike those of Na-K-ATPase and gastric H-K-ATPase, are poorly understood. It has been suggested that it pumps Na+ more efficiently than H+; however, so far, there is no direct evidence that it pumps H+ in vivo. Previously, we found that the nongastric H-K-ATPase alpha-subunit is expressed in apical membranes o...

Nongastric H-K-ATPase in rodent prostate: lobe-specific expression and apical localization.

The molecular basis of active ion transport in secretory glands such as the prostate is not well characterized. Rat nongastric H-K-ATPase is expressed at high levels in distal colon surface cell apical membranes and thus is referred to as "colonic." Here we show that the ATPase is expressed in rodent prostate complex in a lobe-specific manner. RT-PCR and Western blot analyses indicate that rat ...

Human nongastric H+-K+-ATPase: transport properties of ATP1al1 assembled with different beta-subunits.

To investigate whether nongastric H+-K+-ATPases transport Na+ in exchange for K+ and whether different beta-isoforms influence their transport properties, we compared the functional properties of the catalytic subunit of human nongastric H+-K+-ATPase, ATP1al1 (AL1), and of the Na+-K+-ATPase alpha1-subunit (alpha1) expressed in Xenopus oocytes, with different beta-subunits. Our results show that...

Differential localization of human nongastric H(+)-K(+)-ATPase ATP1AL1 in polarized renal epithelial cells.

The human H(+)-K(+)-ATPase, ATP1AL1, belongs to the subgroup of nongastric, K(+)-transporting ATPases. In concert with the structurally related gastric H(+)-K(+)-ATPase, it plays a major role in K(+) reabsorption in various tissues, including colon and kidney. Physiological and immunocytochemical data suggest that the functional heteromeric ion pumps are usually found in the apical plasma membr...
