Tight regulation of the Na/K pump is essential for cellular function because this heteromeric protein builds and maintains the electrochemical gradients for Na+ and K+ that energize electrical signaling and secondary active transport. We studied the regulation of the ubiquitous human α1β1 pump isoform by five human FXYD proteins normally located in muscle, kidney, and neurons. The function of Na/K pump α1β1 expressed in Xenopus oocytes with or without FXYD isoforms was evaluated using two-electrode voltage clamp and patch clamp. Through evaluation of the partial reactions in the absence of K+ but presence of Na+ in the external milieu, we demonstrate that each FXYD subunit alters the equilibrium between E1P(3Na) and E2P, the phosphorylated conformations with Na+ occluded and free from Na+, respectively, thereby altering the apparent affinity for Na+. This modification of Na+ interaction shapes the small effects of FXYD proteins on the apparent affinity for external K+ at physiological Na+. FXYD6 distinctively accelerated both the Na+-deocclusion and the pump-turnover rates. All FXYD isoforms altered the apparent affinity for intracellular Na+ in patches, an effect that was observed only in the presence of intracellular K+. Therefore, FXYD proteins alter the selectivity of the pump for intracellular ions, an effect that could be due to the altered equilibrium between E1 and E2, the two major pump conformations, and/or to small changes in ion affinities that are exacerbated when both ions are present. Lastly, we observed a drastic reduction of Na/K pump surface expression when it was coexpressed with FXYD1 or FXYD6, with the former being relieved by injection of PKA's catalytic subunit into the oocyte. Our results indicate that a prominent effect of FXYD1 and FXYD6, and plausibly other FXYDs, is the regulation of Na/K pump trafficking.

Figure 1. FXYD amino acid sequence alignment and Na/K pump enzymatic cycle. (A) Alignment of the five human FXYD isoforms studied in this work. Residues in the transmembrane (TM), cytoplasmic, and extracellular regions of the isoforms are indicated. (B) Post-Albers kinetic scheme of the Na/K pump cycle (clockwise forward direction). The pump alternates between two major conformations, E1 and E2, which can exist in dephosphorylated or phosphorylated (P) forms. Parentheses indicate ions occluded within the protein. Transitions within the red box produce transient charge movement: the release of the first Na+ (forward cycle) or rebinding of the last Na+ (backward cycle) during E1P(3Na+) â E2P(2Na+) + Na+o produces the slow transient charge movement, while the release of the last two Na+ ions (forward cycle) or rebinding of the first two Na+ ions (backward cycle) during E2P(2Na+) â E2P + 2Na+o produces fast charge movement. |

Figure 2. Recording and analysis of an experiment to determine the K0.5 for K+o. (A) Current at â50 mV of a Na+-loaded oocyte overexpressing the α1β1 pump, bathed in Na+o solution. Substituting Na+o with K+o stimulated outward current in a [K+]-dependent manner. Application of 0.5 mM ouabain for 2 min blocked currents in subsequent K+ applications. Vertical deflections along the recording indicate pulses to voltages between â100 and +40 mV. Lowercase letters indicate currents used to obtain ouabain-sensitive currents in B. (B) I-V plot of ouabain-sensitive current (current before ouabain application â current after ouabain application in the same condition) measured during the last 5 ms of 100-ms-long voltage pulses. (C) [K+o] dependence of ouabain-sensitive current at â100 and 0 mV fitted with Hill equations (line plots). (D) Voltage dependence of K0.5 for K+o. |

Figure 3. Effect of FXYD subunits on transient currents. (AâF) Ouabain-sensitive currents elicited by voltage steps from the holding potential to â100 and +40 mV recorded from oocytes bathed in external Na+ solution 3â6 d after injection with α1β1 (A), α1β1FXYD1 (B), α1β1FXYD2 (C), α1β1FXYD4 (D), α1β1FXYD6 (E), or α1β1FXYD7 (F). The oocyte in B was held at â35 mV, and the rest were held at â50 mV. Depolarizing voltage pulses from the holding potential produce transient outward currents, whereas hyperpolarizing voltage pulses produce transient inward currents. The dashed lines are monoexponential fits to the current, beginning 3 ms after the voltage step. |

Figure 5. Effect of FXYD isoforms on turnover rate. Mean turnover rate at 4.5 mM K+o as a function of voltage. Error bars are SEM. Data from Warner amplifier are shown. Values at 0 mV are (± SD in sâ1): 14.9 ± 3.0 (n = 47, data from Warner and Dagan amplifiers) for α1β1, 12.9 ± 3.0* for α1β1FXYD1 (n = 20, data from Warner and Dagan amplifiers), 12.8 ± 3.9 for α1β1FXYD2, 14.7 ± 3.3 for α1β1FXYD4, 19.1 ± 3.1 for α1β1FXYD6**, and 13.3 ± 1.7 for α1β1FXYD7. Note that there are more oocytes where we measured pump current at 4.5 mM K+o and charge movement than full doseâresponse curves and charge movement.

Figure 7. Reduced plasma membrane expression of Na/K pumps with FXYD1 and FXYD6. (A) Confocal image of representative oocytes following incubation in BODIPY FL-ouabain (1 µM). Note that preincubation of uninjected oocytes with unlabeled ouabain (UI+ouab) eliminates the signal observed in uninjected oocytes (UI). Fluorescence intensity was measured in two concentric circles (one including the plasma membrane signal) to subtract background fluorescence. The bar graph at the bottom summarizes results from two batches of oocytes (one batch for FXYD6) normalized to the fluorescence intensity measured in oocytes injected with α1β1 alone. (B) Representative Western blot of plasma membrane preparations from oocytes expressing α1β1 (lane 2), α1β1FXYD1 (lane 3), and FXYD1 alone (lane 4), 3 d after injection (14 oocytes in each condition). The top half was probed with the pan-α-antibody (a5, Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank) and an anti-mouse secondary antibody (IRDye 800 CW goat anti-mouse; LI-COR). The bottom half was incubated with a polyclonal FXYD1 antibody (ab76597; Abcam) and an anti-rabbit secondary antibody (IRDye 680RD goat anti-rabbit; LI-COR). The bar graphs at the bottom summarize results from five membrane preparations from four oocyte batches, normalized to the intensity of α1β1 alone. Pump current activated by 4.5 mM K+, 145 mM Na+ in 28 α1β1 and 34 α1β1FXYD1 oocytes included in these membrane preparations were 219 ± 19 nA and 100 ± 10 nA (mean ± SEM), respectively. |

Figure 10. FXYD effects on Na/K pump interaction with Na+i in the presence of K+i. (A) Patches from oocytes expressing each FXYD protein were held at 0 mV with extracellular solution containing 5 mM K+o in NMDG. The bars on top indicate [Na+]i (in mM), and the bars under the traces indicate application of MgATP (4 mM) to activate outward Na/K pump current. Vertical deflections correspond to application of 25-ms-long voltage pulses. Note biphasic activation by ATP. (B) Mean ATP-induced current as a function of [Na+]i, normalized to the value at 50 mM Na+i. Line plots are Hill equations with the parameters in Table 3.

Figure 11. PKA failed to increase Na/K pump current at 25 mM Na+i. (A) Na/K pump current was activated by application of ATP in 50 mM and then 25 mM Na+i. After the current reached steady state, PKA was applied at 25 mM Na+i without effect during 2 min. Subsequent application of 50 mM Na+i minimally increased the current. (B) Bar graph summarizing results from six patches (four at 50 mM Na+i) in which similar maneuvers were performed. |

Figure S1. CFTR recording in a giant patch demonstrating PKA activity. As a positive control for the patch-clamp experiments on α1β1FXYD1, we tested the ability of the same preparation of PKA to activate CFTR, typically a few days after the α1β1FXYD1 recordings. (A) Current recording at 0 mV from a large, inside-out patch excised from an oocyte 1 d after injection with human CFTR cRNA. Endogenous Na/K pumps were inhibited by incubating the oocyte in 10 µM ouabain before the experiment. The pipette contained the same external NMDG+ solution with 5 mM K+ as other patch clamp experiments, and the inside of the patch was perfused with 25 mM Na+ internal solution ([Na+] + [K+] = 140 mM). Under these experimental conditions (â¼150 mM external Clâ and â¼30 mM internal Clâ, 0 mV), CFTR currents are outward. Application of 4 mM ATP alone to the inside of the patch produced no change in the baseline current, but simultaneous application of ATP with 10 µM PKA catalytic subunit induced an outward current that returned to baseline upon their removal. The large, vertical current deflections before the initial PKA application are 25-ms I-V pulses. (B) Enlargement of the current trace enclosed by the dashed box in A. Single-channel openings are visible â¼10 s after application of ATP and PKA. |
