Membrane transport Na+/K+ ATPase Flashcards
1
Q
Na+/K+ ATPase
A
- antiporter on PM
- helps maintain resting potential, facilitate transport and regulate cellular volume, functions as signal transducer to regulate MAPK, ROS, intracellular calcium
- responsible for 1/5 of energy expenditure, in neurons 50%
2
Q
Structure of Na/K ATPase
A
- hydrophilic AA residue mainly in extra and intracellular loops
- sugar residues at extracellular hydrophilic loop
- hydrophobic AA residues mainly in transmembrane domain
- amino NH3 terminal at end of extracellular loop
- carboxyl terminal in intracellular loop
- alpha2, beta2 tetramer
- alpha subunit: 100kDa, 4 isoforms
- beta subunit: 55kDa, many isoforms, necessary for activity, S-S links glycosylated
- Steroid binding site, sugar units, ATP binding site
3
Q
Types of transport
A
- simple diffusion
- facilitated diffusion
- primary active transport
- secondary active transport
- ion channel
- ionophore mediated ion transport
uniport/ symport / antiport
4
Q
P-type ATPases
A
- alpha-helical bundle primary transporters
- catalyse autophosphorylation of Asp residue
- appear in at least 2 conformations: E1 and E2
- mostly pump cations, also Flippases
5
Q
Examples of P-type ATPases
A
- Na+/K+ ATPase
- H+ ATPase (PM)
- H+/K+ ATPase (stomach parietal cell)
- sarco/ER Ca2+ ATPase
6
Q
Types of SERCA
A
- SERCA 1: striatal muscle
- SERCA 2: smooth and cardiac muscle, striatal m
- SERCA 3: platelets and endothelial cells, non muscle cells
7
Q
Types of Plasma membrane ATPases(PCMA)
A
- PCMA 1: general
- PCMA 2: neuronal
- PCMA 3: striatal muscle and brain
- PCMA 4: general
8
Q
Mechanism of Na/K ATPase pump
A
- E1- ATP
- E1- ATP- 3Na+
- E1- P- 3Na+
- E2- P- 2Na+
- E2- P
- E2- P- 2K+
- E2- 2K+
- E2- 2K+- ATP
- E1- 2K+- ATP
- E1- ATP again
9
Q
Mechanism of SERCA
A
- Ca2+ binds to transmembrane (M) domain and ATP bind to nucleotide (N) domain
- Phosphoric group transferred to Asp351 residue in P domain (requires Mg2+)
- Ca2+ released from lumen
- Activator (A) domain moves, ADP released
- P domain dephosphorylated
- A domain returns to original, releases Mg2+
- P and M domain resets
10
Q
Ouabain (Strophantine)
A
- poisonous cardiac glycoside
- potent inhibitor of Na/K ATPase
- works especially in high conc. in vitro / intravenously
- Digoxin: same structure, more lipophilic cardiac glycoside, replaces Ouabain
11
Q
Alpha subunit isoforms
A
- alpha1: in most cells + epithelial cells + kidney outer medulla
- alpha2: striatal muscle + brain + heart + smooth m. + adipocytes
- alpha3: neurons + heart + ovary + leukocytes
- alpha4: testis
sensitivity to ouabain:
alpha2(0,1pM) - alpha3(>30nM) - alpha1(0,1mM)
Km: - K+e.c.: 0,5mM
- ATP: 0,15mM
- Na+i.c.: 10-20mM
12
Q
Gamma subunit
A
- regulator of Na/K ATPase in certain tissues.
- regulates transport kinetic of alpha subunit
- Tissue specific in kidney, pancreas and fetal liver
- 7,2kDa, 1transmembrane domain
- function: increase pump affinity to ATP
- important in anoxia
- 7 isoforms
13
Q
Regulation of Na+/K+ ATPase
A
- Corticosteroids (aldosterone, dexamethazone)
- Long term effect (increased expression of Na+ pump)
- Mineralocorticoid type 1 receptor
- Glucocorticoid type 2 receptor
14
Q
Mineralocorticoid type 1 receptor
A
- expressed in many tissues
- cytosolic receptor
- activated upon ligand binding
- receptor-ligand complex translocated into nucleus and binds to HREs in promoter region
- trans-repression: no ligand binding, receptor interacts with heat shock proteins and prevents transcription
15
Q
Hyperaldosterism
A
- generally from adrenal cancer
- hypertension and edema- excessive Na+ and H2O retention
- excretion of K+ - muscle weakness, paralysis
