title: cDNA cloning of the beta-subunit of the rat gastric H,K-ATPase.
abstract: A cDNA encoding the beta-subunit of the rat gastric H,K-ATPase has been identified using oligonucleotide probes based on the amino acid sequences of two peptides from the pig H,K-ATPase beta-subunit (Hall, K., Perez, G., Anderson, D., Gutierrez, C., Munson, K., Hersey, S. J., Kaplan, J. H., and Sachs, G. (1990) Biochemistry 29, 701-706). The nucleotide sequence of the 1.3-kilobase cDNA has been determined and the primary structure of the protein deduced. The protein consists of 294 amino acids and has an Mr of 33,625. The amino acid sequence of the H,K-ATPase beta-subunit is similar to those of the beta 1 (29% identity) and beta 2 (37% identity) subunits of the Na,K-ATPase. Based on the hydropathy profile it seems to have the same transmembrane organization as the Na,K-ATPase beta-subunit, with a single membrane-spanning domain near the amino terminus. Seven potential N-linked glycosylation sites are located in the putative extracellular regions of the protein. Northern blot analyses of poly(A)+ RNAs from 13 tissues demonstrate that the H,K-ATPase beta-subunit mRNA is expressed at high level in stomach and is not expressed in any of the other tissues.
