Phospholemman (FXYD1) associates with Na,K-ATPase and regulates its transport properties.

A family of small, single-span membrane proteins (the FXYD family) has recently been defined based on their sequence and structural homology. Some members of this family have already been identified as tissue-specific regulators of Na,K-ATPase (NKA). In the present study, we demonstrate that phospholemman (PLM) (FXYD1), so far considered to be a heart- and muscle-specific channel or channel-regulating protein, associates specifically and stably with six different alpha-beta isozymes of NKA after coexpression in Xenopus oocytes, and with alpha1-beta, and less efficiently with alpha2-beta isozymes, in native cardiac and skeletal muscles. Stoichiometric association of PLM with NKA occurs posttranslationally either in the Golgi or the plasma membrane. Interaction of PLM with NKA induces a small decrease in the external K+ affinity of alpha1-beta1 and alpha2-beta1 isozymes and a nearly 2-fold decrease in the internal Na+ affinity. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that PLM is a tissue-specific regulator of NKA that may play an essential role in muscle contractility.
