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 membranes of renal epithelial cells. However, the low
expression levels of characteristic nongastric ion pumps makes it
difficult to verify their spatial distribution in vivo. To investigate
the sorting behavior of ATP1AL1, we expressed this pump by stable
transfection in MDCK and LLC-PK1 renal epithelial cell
lines. Stable interaction of ATP1AL1 with either the endogenous
Na+-K+-ATPase
-subunit or the gastric
H+-K+-ATPase
-subunit was tested by
confocal immunofluorescence microscopy and surface biotinylation. In
cells transfected with ATP1AL1 alone, the
-subunit accumulated
intracellularly, consistent with its inability to assemble and travel
to the plasma membrane with the endogenous
Na+-K+-ATPase
-subunit. Cotransfection of
ATP1AL1 with the gastric H+-K+-ATPase
-subunit resulted in plasma membrane localization of both pump
subunits. In cotransfected MDCK cells the heteromeric ion pump was
predominantly polarized to the apical plasma membrane. Functional
expression of ATP1AL1 was confirmed by 86Rb+
uptake measurements. In contrast, cotransfected LLC-PK1
cells accumulate ATP1AL1 at the lateral membrane. The distinct
polarization of ATP1AL1 indicates that the
-subunit encodes
sorting information that is differently interpreted by cell
type-specific sorting mechanisms.
