What is Primary sequence and functional expression of a novel ? subunit of the P-ATPase gene family about?

The cortical collecting tubule (CCT) of the mammalian kidney reabsorbs sodium and potassium, processes that are mediated by Na/K-ATPase and H/K-ATPase. CCT is also an important site for proton secretion, which is driven, in part, by H/K-ATPase. Na/K-ATPase and H/K-ATPase are members of the ion-motive P-ATPase gene family. They are closely related plasma membrane proteins which consist of alpha beta heterodimers. The urinary bladder of the toad Bufo marinus is the amphibian counterpart of mammalian CCT. We have previously characterized a ouabain-resistant Na/K-ATPase [see ref. 17], from TBM cells, a clonal cell line derived from the toad bladder, which expresses transepithelial sodium transport. In the present study, we report the primary sequence and functional expression of a novel beta subunit (beta bladder = beta b1) isolated from a toad bladder epithelial cell cDNA library. The deduced polypeptide is 299 amino acids in length and has a predicted molecular mass of 33 kDa. The beta b1 protein exhibits 35% amino acid identity to the previously characterized beta 1 of B. marinus Na/K-ATPase and 39% identity with beta 3 of B. marinus Na/K-ATPase. It shares 38% identity with the mamm
