title: Assembly of a hybrid from the alpha subunit of Na+/K(+)-ATPase and the beta subunit of H+/K(+)-ATPase.
abstract: Messenger RNA for the alpha subunit of Torpedo californica Na+/K(+)-ATPase was injected into Xenopus oocytes together with that of the beta subunit of rabbit H+/K(+)-ATPase. The Na+/K(+)-ATPase alpha subunit was assembled in the microsomal membranes with the H+/K(+)-ATPase beta subunit, and became resistant to trypsin. These results suggest that the H+/K(+)-ATPase beta subunit facilitates the stable assembly of the Na+/K(+)-ATPase alpha subunit in microsomes.
