RESUMEN
FXYD5 (dysadherin or also called a related to ion channel, RIC) is a transmembrane auxiliary subunit of the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase shown to increase its maximal velocity (Vmax). FXYD5 has also been identified as a cancer-associated protein whose expression in tumor-derived cell lines impairs cytoskeletal organization and increases cell motility. Previously, we have demonstrated that the expression of FXYD5 in M1 cells derived from mouse kidney collecting duct impairs the formation of tight and adherence junctions. The current study aimed to further explore effects of FXYD5 at a single cell level. It was found that in M1, as well as three other cell lines, FXYD5 inhibits transformation of adhered single cells from the initial radial shape to a flattened, elongated shape in the first stage of monolayer formation. This is also correlated to less ordered actin cables and fewer focal points. Structure-function analysis has demonstrated that the transmembrane domain of FXYD5, and not its unique extracellular segment, mediates the inhibition of change in cell shape. This domain has been shown before to be involved in the association of FXYD5 with the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, which leads to the increase in Vmax. Furthermore, specific transmembrane point mutations in FXYD5 that either increase or decrease its effect on cell elongation had a corresponding effect on the coimmunoprecipitation of FXYD5 with α Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase. These findings lend support to the possibility that FXYD5 affects cell polarization through its transmembrane domain interaction with the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase. Yet interaction of FXYD5 with other proteins cannot be excluded.

Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase is an integral membrane protein crucial for the maintenance of ion homeostasis and skeletal muscle contractibility. Skeletal muscle Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase content displays remarkable plasticity in response to long-term increase in physiological demand, such as exercise training. However, the adaptations in Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase function in response to a suddenly decreased and/or habitually low level of physical activity, especially after a spinal cord injury (SCI), are incompletely known. We tested the hypothesis that skeletal muscle content of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase and the associated regulatory proteins from the FXYD family is altered in SCI patients in a manner dependent on the severity of the spinal cord lesion and postinjury level of physical activity. Three different groups were studied: 1) six subjects with chronic complete cervical SCI, 2) seven subjects with acute, complete cervical SCI, and 3) six subjects with acute, incomplete cervical SCI. The individuals in groups 2 and 3 were studied at months 1, 3, and 12 postinjury, whereas individuals with chronic SCI were compared with an able-bodied control group. Chronic complete SCI was associated with a marked decrease in [(3)H]ouabain binding site concentration in skeletal muscle as well as reduced protein content of the α(1)-, α(2)-, and ß(1)-subunit of the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase. In line with this finding, expression of the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase α(1)- and α(2)-subunits progressively decreased during the first year after complete but not after incomplete SCI. The expression of the regulatory protein phospholemman (PLM or FXYD1) was attenuated after complete, but not incomplete, cervical SCI. In contrast, FXYD5 was substantially upregulated in patients with complete SCI. In conclusion, the severity of the spinal cord lesion and the level of postinjury physical activity in patients with SCI are important factors controlling the expression of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase and its regulatory proteins PLM and FXYD5.

FXYD5 (dysadherin or RIC) is a member of the FXYD family of single-span transmembrane proteins associated with the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase. Several studies have demonstrated enhanced expression of FXYD5 during metastasis and effects on cell adhesion and motility. The current study examines effects of FXYD5 on the paracellular permeability in the mouse kidney collecting duct cell line M1. Expressing FXYD5 in these cells leads to a large decrease in amiloride-insensitive transepithelial electrical resistance as well as increased permeability to 4-kDa dextran. Impairment of cell-cell contact was also demonstrated by staining cells for the tight and adherence junction markers zonula occludens-1 and ß-catenin, respectively. This is further supported by large expansions of the interstitial spaces, visualized in electron microscope images. Expressing FXYD5 in M1 cells resulted in a decrease in N-glycosylation of ß1 Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, while silencing it in H1299 cells had an opposite effect. This may provide a mechanism for the above effects, since normal glycosylation of ß1 plays an important role in cell-cell contact formation (Vagin O, Tokhtaeva E, Sachs G. J Biol Chem 281: 39573-39587, 2006).

FXYD5 is a member of a family of tissue-specific regulators of the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase expressed in kidney tubules. Previously, we have shown that FXYD5 interacts with the alphabeta-subunits of the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase and increases its V(max) (Lubarski I, Pihakaski-Maunsbach K, Karlish SJ, Maunsbach AB, Garty H. J Biol Chem 280: 37717-37724, 2005). The current study further characterizes structural interaction and structure-function relationships of FXYD5. FXYD5/FXYD4 chimeras expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes have been used to demonstrate that both the high-affinity association with the pump and the increase in V(max) are mediated by the transmembrane domain of FXYD5. Several amino acids that participate in the high-affinity interaction between FXYD5 and the alpha-subunit of the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase have been identified. The data suggest that different FXYD proteins interact similarly with the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase and their transmembrane domains play a key role in both the structural interactions and functional effects. Other experiments have identified at least one splice variant of FXYD5 with 10 additional amino acids at the COOH terminus, suggesting the possibility of other functional effects not mediated by the transmembrane domain. FXYD5 could be specifically bound to wheat germ agglutinin beads, indicating that it is glycosylated. However, unlike previous findings in metastatic cells, such glycosylation does not evoke a large increase in the size of the protein expressed in native epithelia and X. laevis oocytes.

FXYD5 (related to ion channel, dysadherin) is a member of the FXYD family of single span type I membrane proteins. Five members of this group have been shown to interact with the Na,K-ATPase and to modulate its properties. However, FXYD5 is structurally different from other family members and has been suggested to play a role in regulating E-cadherin and promoting metastasis (Ino, Y., Gotoh, M., Sakamoto, M., Tsukagoshi, K., and Hirohashi, S. (2002) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 99, 365-370). The goal of this study was to determine whether FXYD5 can modulate the Na,K-ATPase activity, establish its cellular and tissue distribution, and characterize its biochemical properties. Anti-FXYD5 antibodies detected a 24-kDa polypeptide that was preferentially expressed in kidney, intestine, spleen, and lung. In kidney, FXYD5 resides in the basolateral membrane of the connecting tubule, the collecting tubule, and the intercalated cells of the collecting duct. However, there is also labeling of the apical membrane in long thin limb of Henle's loop. FXYD5 was effectively immunoprecipitated by antibodies to the alpha subunit of Na,K-ATPase and the anti-FXYD5 antibody immunoprecipitates alpha. Co-expressing FXYD5 with the alpha1 and beta1 subunits of the Na,K-ATPase in Xenopus oocytes elicited a more than 2-fold increase in pump activity, measured either as ouabain-blockable outward current or as ouabain-sensitive (86)Rb(+) uptake. Thus, as found with other FXYD proteins, FXYD5 interacts with the Na,K-ATPase and modulates its properties.

Corticosteroid hormone-induced factor (CHIF) and the gamma subunit of the Na,K-ATPase (gamma) are two members of the FXYD family whose function has been elucidated recently. CHIF and gamma interact with the Na+ pump and alter its kinetic properties, in different ways, which appear to serve their specific physiological roles. Although functional interactions with the Na,K-ATPase have been clearly demonstrated, it is not known which domains and which residues interact with the alpha and/or beta subunits and affect the pump kinetics. The current study provides the first systematic analysis of structure-function relations of CHIF and gamma. It is demonstrated that the stability of detergent-solubilized complexes of CHIF and gamma with alpha and/or beta subunits is determined by the trans-membrane segments, especially three residues that may be involved in hydrophobic interactions. The transmembrane segments also determine the opposite effects of CHIF and gamma on the Na+ affinity of the pump, but the amino acids involved in this functional effect are different from those responsible for stable interactions with alpha.
