   Abstract
 
The Na-K-ATPase is an energy-transducing ion pump that converts the free energy of ATP into transmembrane ion gradients. It also serves as a functional receptor for cardiotonic steroids such as ouabain and digoxin. Binding of ouabain to the Na-K-ATPase can activate calcium signaling in a cell-specific manner. The exquisite calcium modulation via the Na-K-ATPase is achieved by the ability of the pump to integrate signals from numerous protein and non-protein molecules, including ion transporters, channels, protein kinases/phosphatases, as well as cellular Na+. This review focuses on the unique properties of the Na-K-ATPase and its role in the formation of different calcium-signaling microdomains.

The Na-K-ATPase, or sodium pump, is the molecular machine for ATP-dependent and -coupled transport of Na+ and K+ across the plasma membrane. The Na+ gradient produced by the Na-K-ATPase is the energy source for cellular uptake of many nutrients. It is also the major force for maintaining the balance of electrolytes and fluids at the whole body level (28). A functional Na-K-ATPase consists of two noncovalently linked {alpha} and β subunits (40, 75). An additional {gamma} subunit also exists in some tissues as a regulator of Na-K-ATPase (76). Studies over the past decade have made several new advances in understanding the physiological functions of the Na-K-ATPase. These include 1) identification of the molecular mechanism by which the Na-K-ATPase transduces ouabain binding to the activation of protein kinase cascades and the generation of second messengers such as inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and calcium transients; 2) the demonstration of endogenous Na-K-ATPase ligands and their role in the development of hypertension and cardiac remodeling; 3) the involvement of Na-K-ATPase in control of cancer cell growth. These findings have been detailed in some recent reviews about Na-K-ATPase (5, 8, 68, 85). A noticeable fact in these studies is that involvement of protein-protein interactions rather than the pumping activity alone contributes to the regulatory effects of the Na-K-ATPase on cellular functions.

It is known that the plasma membrane is compartmentalized into structurally and functionally different microdomains. These microdomains may sequester specific proteins and lipids, while excluding others, to form a dynamic center for regulating cellular processes such as signal transduction, vesicular transport, and cargo delivery (50, 63, 71, 73). Although special lipid composition and protein markers have been used to classify different microdomains such as lipid rafts and caveolae (65), the formation of microdomains may be more functionally oriented. To this end, it is important to note that the calcium-signaling microdomains have been the focus of investigation of many laboratories for decades. Interestingly, recent studies have identified several important protein interactions of the Na-K-ATPase and revealed that these protein interactions play a pivotal role in the formation of functionally distinct calcium signaling microdomains, which will be the focus of this mini-review.

Calcium is a highly versatile intracellular signal and is responsible for regulating numerous cellular processes such as contraction, secretion, fertilization, proliferation, and apoptosis. Consistently, cells have developed a series of mechanisms that exert an exquisite control of calcium signaling. This is achieved, at least partially, by the formation of different calcium-signaling microdomains. For example, in cardiac muscle, T-tubular and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membranes can form "diad junctions" that allow calcium to flow through the plasma membrane calcium channel, to bind and open the ryanodine receptor, and to trigger the subsequent larger calcium release from the SR and muscle contraction (27, 65). In neuronal cells, a high concentration of calcium was visualized in a size of ~0.15 µm2 area at the presynaptic active zone (69). The sites in the cytoplasm for these compartmentalized high calcium concentration profiles are defined as "calcium concentration microdomains" (47). Biochemical studies reveal that the plasma membrane calcium channels are targeted to presynaptic sites by specific protein-protein interactions that involve both the intracellular and extracellular channel domains (12, 74). Disruption of the interaction between the synaptic protein interaction sites in the calcium channels with SNARE proteins reduces effectiveness of calcium release, providing evidence for the importance in the proximity of proteins involved in calcium movement in cells (12).

The Na-K-ATPase is known to be important in regulation of intracellular calcium. For example, binding of ouabain to the Na-K-ATPase raises intracellular calcium in cardiac myocytes, resulting in increases in myocardial contraction. This serves as a basis for using digitalis drugs to treat congestive heart failure. Mechanistically, the Na-K-ATPase was originally hypothesized to regulate calcium entry through the Na/Ca exchanger (NCX) by altering intracellular Na+ concentration in cardiac myocytes (2, 10, 42). Physical coupling among the Na-K-ATPase, NCX, and SR calcium store was first demonstrated in smooth muscle cells (58). Blaustein and colleagues (39, 72) have recently provided further support to the notion that the Na-K-ATPase interacts with NCX to form a specific calcium-signaling microdomain in many different cell types, including smooth muscle cells and astrocytes. Specifically, they have proposed that the interaction between the NCX with either {alpha}2 or {alpha}3, but not {alpha}1, isoform of the Na-K-ATPase forms a signaling microdomain that is responsible for the ouabain-induced calcium increases in astrocytes and smooth muscle cells (39, 72). Moreover, they have identified that the NH2 termini of {alpha}2 and {alpha}3 isoforms contain a common structural motif that allows these isoforms to be targeted to the plasma membrane microdomains overlying the "junctional" SR/endoplasmic reticulum (ER) (72). The NCX activity in these microdomains is regulated by the local Na+ or Ca2+ concentrations, but the ion binding sites for the regulation are not the sites participating in the ion transportation (19). Differential regulatory mechanisms were also found between the cardiac-/neuronal-specific NCX isoform and the kidney isoform (7, 22, 23).

The cardiac-/neuronal-specific NCX type 1 (NCX1) isoform consists of nine transmembrane (TM) helices with an extracellular NH2 terminus and a cytosolic COOH terminus (49). An amphipathic sequence, located close by the intracellular end of TM5, is considered an important site in regulation by Na+ and acidic phospholipids (19, 52). When ouabain binds to the Na-K-ATPase, an increase in Na+ near the calcium-signaling microdomain may stimulate and then inactivate the NCX (33), thus regulating the local calcium concentration within or nearby the microdomain. Based on this hypothesis, Edwards and Pallone recently formulated a mathematical model describing this microdomain-mediated Ca2+ signal transduction (24, 25). Remarkably, the mathematical simulation essentially recapitulates the experimental changes detected in response to ouabain binding to the {alpha}2 isoform (24, 25). It is important to note that this {alpha}2- and {alpha}3-specific interaction is most likely cell-specific because the {alpha}1 isoform was found to be equally capable of interacting with the NCX1 in cardiac myocytes (21). Moreover, this interaction was sufficient for ouabain to regulate calcium and then increase contractility in these cells.

In addition to its effect on calcium entry through NCX, early studies suggested that ouabain and other cardiotonic steroids might activate L-type Ca2+ channels and stimulate Ca2+ release from SR and/or ER (53). Consistently, several laboratories in recent years have reported a direct interaction between the Na-K-ATPase {alpha} subunit and IP3 receptors (IP3Rs) in the ER (1). IP3Rs are IP3-gated Ca2+ channels (64). In response to stimulation of G-protein-coupled receptors or receptor-tyrosine kinases, either phospholipase C (PLC)-β or PLC-{gamma} is recruited to the membrane and activated (66). The activated PLC in turn catalyzes the metabolism of phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate (PIP2), producing the second messenger IP3, and thus the opening of IP3Rs. Structurally, the IP3R contains a small pore-forming COOH terminus and a large regulatory NH2 terminus. In fact, the NH2 terminus contains more than 2,000 amino acid residues and was found to interact with ion channels, protein kinase/phosphatases, and structural proteins. These interactions not only make it possible for the targeting and regulation of receptor function via various protein kinase cascades, but also for regulating the function of the interacting proteins. For example, IP3Rs interact and keep the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor-binding protein (IRBIT) in an inactive state. Binding of IP3 to the IP3Rs changes the conformation of the receptor, resulting in the release of IRBIT from IP3R and the subsequent activation of the Na+/HCO3– co-transporter (4).

The interaction between the Na-K-ATPase and IP3R was first reported by Aperia’s laboratory during the investigation of ouabain-induced calcium oscillations in renal epithelial cells (1). Independently, we came to the same conclusion that there might be a pool of the Na-K-ATPase that directly interacts with IP3Rs in renal epithelial cells because these proteins could be co-purified from the kidney outer medulla (88). Further biochemical studies revealed that the NH2 termini of all {alpha} subunits were capable of interacting with the IP3Rs directly. Interestingly, co-immunoprecipitation analysis showed that the formation of Na-K-ATPase/IP3R complex might be isoform specific (43). Although the {alpha}1 isoform co-precipitated with the IP3R in renal epithelial cells, only the {alpha}2 and {alpha}3, but not the {alpha}1, isoform were able to form the signaling complex in neurons and astrocytes. Functional analysis demonstrated that this interaction is required for the formation of Na-K-ATPase/IP3R signaling microdomain that may provide at least three different ways for cells to modulate the calcium signaling in response to extracellular stimuli (43).

It has been demonstrated that the interaction between Na-K-ATPase and the IP3R is essential for ouabain to stimulate low-frequency calcium oscillations in renal epithelial cells (1). In general, calcium signals can occur transiently or in an oscillatory manner. Calcium oscillations are the most versatile cell signals because the cell can decode the frequency of oscillations (14, 20). Consistently, ouabain-induced calcium oscillations with a periodicity of 4–5 min were sufficient to activate the NF-{kappa}B pathway (35) and then protect the renal cells from serum starvation-induced apoptosis (61). Mechanistically, ouabain was found to stimulate calcium oscillations at concentrations that did not change intracellular Na+. Moreover, inhibition of the Na-K-ATPase by lowering extracellular K+ failed to elicit the same change in intracellular calcium, although it increased intracellular Na+. Interestingly, inhibition of PLC or addition of IP3 "sponge" did not block ouabain-induced calcium oscillations in renal epithelial cells (54). These findings led the authors to propose that ouabain-induced changes in the interaction between the Na-K-ATPase and IP3Rs may be sufficient to stimulate calcium release from the calcium store (54). Alternatively, these interactions may alter the gating properties of IP3R. It is important to mention that ouabain-induced calcium oscillations have also been found in cells other than renal epithelial cells (46, 67).

The formation and regulation of this microdomain may also involve another important component of Na-K-ATPase signaling pathway, the Na-K-ATPase/Src complex (44, 78). The Na-K-ATPase and Src are enriched in caveolae of renal epithelial cells (83), and they directly interact with each other (78). More importantly, the Na-K-ATPase/Src complex serves as a receptor for ouabain to increase protein tyrosine phosphorylation and consequently stimulate protein kinase cascades and phospholipase (78). For example, activation of the Na-K-ATPase/Src receptor complex by ouabain transactivates EGF receptor and subsequently results in the activation Ras/ERK cascade. Moreover, activation of this receptor has been found to stimulate tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-{gamma} and the generation of IP3 (88). Because activation of this latter pathway plays an important role in regulation of IP3Rs, we examined whether the Na-K-ATPase/Src complex is involved in the formation of a calcium-signaling microdomain. GST pull-down assays have revealed that the central loop of the Na-K-ATPase {alpha}1 subunit actually interacts with PLC-{gamma}, whereas the NH2 terminus binds IP3Rs. These findings suggest that the Na-K-ATPase may be able to tether PLC and IP3Rs into a calcium-regulatory microdomain to facilitate the ouabain-activated signal transduction. In accordance, both PLC-{gamma} and IP3Rs co-immunoprecipitated with the Na-K-ATPase/Src complex, and ouabain increased formation of this signaling microdomain in a Src-dependent manner. Moreover, we found that activation of the Na-K-ATPase/Src receptor complex by ouabain stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of IP3Rs. Functionally, activation of this Na-K-ATPase/Src/PLC-{gamma} complex by ouabain led to the opening of IP3Rs and a rise in intracellular calcium. Inhibition of either Src or PLC was sufficient to block ouabain-induced calcium transients. Taken together, these findings indicate that the Na-K-ATPase functions as an important scaffold capable of bringing IP3Rs to their effector PLC-{gamma} to facilitate calcium release in response to ouabain-induced activation of receptor Na-K-ATPase/Src complex.

It has been proposed that formation of the junctional microdomains that force the proximity of IP3Rs to the plasma membrane receptors provides a mechanism for defining spatially and temporally specific Ca2+ signaling in cells other than cardiac myocytes (6, 9, 16, 17, 34, 77, 82, 84, 87). For instance, the forced coupling between B2 bradykinin receptors and IP3Rs ensures a robust Ca2+ signaling when the receptor is activated by the ligand in neuronal cells (17). Several candidate proteins have been identified over the years that may play an important role in the formation of junctional microdomains. These include Homer, junctophilins, and stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), as well as ankyrin (38, 59, 70, 79). For example, the interaction between IP3Rs and transient receptor potential canonical 1 or 3 (TRPC1 or TRPC3) appears to be mediated via adaptor proteins Homer (87) or junctate (79). It has been reported that the conserved EVH1 domain of Homer interacts with a proline-rich motif that is present in both group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) and IP3Rs. Disruption of the complex by short-form Homer 1a results in an alteration of mGluR-induced Ca2+ release (80). The ER-associated protein junctate is also found to bind with IP3R and TRPC3 and forms the TRPC3-junctate-IP3Rs complex. This complex plays an important role both in Ca2+ release after IP3R activation and in calcium entry induced by store depletion, perhaps by facilitating and/or stabilizing connections between the ER and the plasma membrane (79).

It is well documented that many G-protein-coupled receptors and receptor tyrosine kinases are concentrated in caveolae (3, 13). Because the Na-K-ATPase represents a highly abundant caveolar membrane protein, the identified interaction between the caveolar Na-K-ATPase and ER IP3Rs could contribute to formation of junctional microdomains by forcing the proximity of ER IP3Rs to other plasma membrane receptors. Thus the interaction between the Na-K-ATPase and IP3Rs may not only be important for ouabain-induced ER Ca2+ release but also plays a role in other stimuli-induced Ca2+ signaling. To test this proposal, we determined whether the Na-K-ATPase is important for the subcellular distribution of IP3Rs and ATP-induced ER calcium release. These investigations revealed that graded knockdown of cellular Na-K-ATPase {alpha}1 caused a parallel attenuation of ATP-induced ER calcium release. This defect could be rescued by knocking in a rat {alpha}1. Mechanistically, this defect was neither due to the changes in the amount or the function of cellular IP3 and P2Y receptors nor due to the ER calcium contents. On the other hand, {alpha}1 knockdown changed cellular distribution of IP3Rs. Specifically, it abolished a pool of IP3Rs that resided close to the plasma membrane. When dose-dependent effects of ATP on PKC activation and ER calcium release were determined, we found that the {alpha}1 knockdown desensitized the ATP-induced Ca2+ release but not PKC activation. Moreover, expression of the NH2 terminus of the Na-K-ATPase {alpha}1 subunit, as expected, disrupted formation of the Na-K-ATPase/IP3R complex and attenuated ER Ca2+ release provoked by ATP. Finally, the {alpha}1 knockdown also reduced both angiotensin II and EGF-induced ER Ca2+ release. Taken together, these findings support the notion that interaction between the Na-K-ATPase and IP3Rs is important for ER calcium signaling emanated from activation of the receptor Na-K-ATPase/Src complex as well as several other PLC-coupled receptors.

The recently resolved crystal structure showed that the pig Na-K-ATPase {alpha}1 subunit, similar to the SERCA calcium ATPase, contains three major domains (60). The A domain consists of the NH2 terminus and the second cytoplasmic domain (CD2) connected to transmembrane helices M2 and M3. The enzyme also has the highly conserved phosphorylation (P) domain that is close to the membrane and a nucleotide binding (N) domain. Among them, A and N domains are extruded and more exposed, which is consistent with the fact that most of the binding motifs found in the {alpha}1 subunit reside in these two domains. The N domain of the Na-K-ATPase {alpha}1 subunit interacts with many proteins, including Src and PLC-{gamma}. These interactions are important for the receptor function of the Na-K-ATPase. Moreover, they provide spatial proximity between the generation of IP3 and opening of IP3R because the Na-K-ATPase/Src/PLC-{gamma} complex also interacts with IP3Rs. Interestingly, the same N domain also interacts with arrestin 2 and spinophilin as well as structural proteins such as ankyrin (18, 41). The interaction with arrestin and spinophilin is important for intracellular trafficking of the Na-K-ATPase (41).

The A domain of the Na-K-ATPase is another site of the molecule that is involved in protein-protein interaction. For example, a three-amino acid sequence (LKK) at the NH2 terminus of the Na-K-ATPase is essential for binding to IP3R (90). Interestingly, Blaustein and colleagues have identified that L and A, flanking the LKK sequence, are important for targeting the {alpha}2 and the {alpha}3 to the NCX signaling microdomain in astrocytes (72). In addition, the A domain also interacts with the SH2 domain of Src, caveolin-1, PI3 kinase, and ankyrin. These interactions are important for the signaling function of Na-K-ATPase. It is interesting to note that the Na-K-ATPase {alpha}1 subunit often contains two binding sites for the same partner proteins, such as ankyrin, Src, and caveolin-1 (18, 78, 83).

Although interaction with membrane transporters, channels, receptors, protein kinases, and phosphatases constitutes formation of the aforementioned calcium signaling microdomains, interaction with structural proteins such as ankyrin, adducin, cofilin, and 14-3-3 protein may play an important role in stabilizing the microdomain structure (26, 29, 51, 86). For instance, the actin cytoskeleton is involved in coordinating interactions among IP3Rs, the Na-K-ATPase (54), and other membrane receptors such as the B2 bradykinin receptor (17). Consistently, disruption of cytoskeletal structure abolished ouabain-induced calcium oscillations in renal epithelial cells (1). Of many structural proteins, ankyrin seems to be very important for formation of the calcium-signaling microdomains because it may use the Na-K-ATPase as an anchor to bridge the ER IP3Rs to the plasma membrane receptors or channels/transporters. The interaction between ankyrin and IP3Rs has also been well documented (11, 37). The 11-amino acid sequence (GGVGDVLRKPS) located at the COOH terminus of IP3R serves as the ankyrin binding site. Functionally, this direct and high-affinity interaction between IP3R and ankyrin-B is critical for IP3R posttranslational stability and localization in cultures of neonatal cardiac myocytes. Reduced accumulation and abnormal localization of IP3R were observed in cardiac myocytes of ankyrin B knockout mice (56). Moreover, recent studies have shown that ankyrin-B links the ER IP3Rs to the plasma membrane Na-K-ATPase and NCX to form a functional calcium-signaling domain in cardiac myocytes (81). Significantly, a loss-of-function (E1425G) mutation in ankyrin-B (also known as ankyrin 2) causes dominantly inherited type 4 long-QT cardiac arrhythmia in humans (55, 57). Finally, a similar protein complex has also been detected in cells other than cardiac myocytes (72).

In addition to ankyrin, caveolin-1 appears to be another important structural protein. It plays a role in targeting the Na-K-ATPase into caveolae (83). It is known that caveolae serve as an important calcium signaling microdomain (36). However, the plasma membrane delivery of the Na-K-ATPase does not require the presence of caveolin-1, since the cells from caveolin-1 knockout mice still exhibit surface Na-K-ATPase activity (our unpublished data). The mechanism of sorting Na-K-ATPase to the caveolae or microdomains remains unclear.

Besides protein-protein interaction, the lipids composition and their specific binding with membrane proteins are important for the formation of microdomains. Indeed, the Na-K-ATPase, as an ion pump, functions only when it resides in the membrane with proper composition of lipids. Removal of the phospholipids from the plasma membrane of cardiac cells led to almost complete inhibition of Na-K-ATPase activity (32). In addition to phospholipids, cholesterol was also found to regulate Na-K-ATPase activity. Na-K-ATPase activity in lens fiber cells was much lower than that in lens epithelial cells, which was closely correlated with cholesterol levels in these cells (15). Depletion of cholesterol from the cell membrane was found to induce biphasic response in Na-K-ATPase activity (30, 48). The mechanism of such regulation was considered a result of increasing Na+ affinity by cholesterol (30). Finally, recent studies have shown that the signaling Na-K-ATPase resides in a cholesterol-enriched caveolae structure. Cholesterol depletion could disrupt the caveolae structure and diminish the signaling function of the Na-K-ATPase (45, 83).

Studies of the past 10 years have identified many important protein interactions of the Na-K-ATPase. The interactions among the Na-K-ATPase, protein kinase, membrane transporters/channels, and structural proteins ensure formation of dynamic and cell-specific calcium-signaling microdomains. It is important to recognize that the aforementioned investigations only mark the beginning of a fascinating new field. Besides identification and functional characterization of new partners such as TRPCs, polycystin-1, and protein phosphatases (31, 62, 89), studies have to be conducted to understand the dynamics, regulation, and isoform- and cell-specific aspects of these interactions among the Na-K-ATPase and its partners. Further efforts of many laboratories are clearly required. It is also important to recognize that we know little about how the ion-transporting function of Na-K-ATPase is related with its signaling function in the regulation of these cell functions. However, the continual efforts will eventually provide insights into the newly appreciated functions of the Na-K-ATPase and their roles in cell biology and animal physiology.
