Abstract
The Na+/K+‐ATPase is a target protein for protein kinase C (PKC). The PKC‐mediated phosphorylation of the rat α1 subunit at Ser‐23 results in the inhibition of its transport function. To understand the molecular basis of the inhibition by PKC, the Ser‐23 in the rat α1 subunit has been replaced by negatively (Asp, Glu) or positively (Lys) charged, or uncharged (Gln, Ala) residues, and the mutants were expressed in Xenopus oocytes. Ouabain‐specific 86Rb uptake and pump‐generated current as well as sensitivity to ouabain and to external K+ have been investigated. When Ser‐23 was replaced by the negatively charged residues, transport function was inhibited, and simultaneously synthesis of the α subunits was enhanced. In addition, if Ser‐23 was substituted by Glu, the K I value for inhibition of transport by ouabain was drastically increased from 46.5 μM to 1.05 mM. The data suggest that insertion of a negative charge within the N‐terminus of α subunit of the Na+/K+‐ATPase due to phosphorylation of Ser‐23 plays an important role in the PKC‐mediated inhibition of transport function.Keywords
