title: Assembly of Na,K-ATPase alpha-subunit isoforms with Na,K-ATPase beta-subunit isoforms and H,K-ATPase beta-subunit.
abstract: cDNA encoding an epitope tag was joined to cDNAs encoding the chicken Na,K-ATPase beta 1 and beta 2 and H,K-ATPase beta-subunits to allow recognition of these beta-subunits with the same monoclonal antibody during assembly assays. cDNAs encoding chicken Na,K-ATPase alpha 1, alpha 2, or alpha 3 and Na,K-ATPase beta 1 or beta 2 or H,K-ATPase beta-subunits were transiently coexpressed in mammalian cells. Subunit assembly was assayed by immune precipitation of alpha-isoforms with a monoclonal antibody to the epitope-tagged beta-subunits. Each of the chicken alpha-isoforms assembled with each of the Na,K-ATPase beta-subunits and the H,K-ATPase beta-subunit. Each of the epitope-tagged beta-subunits also assembled with a Na,K-ATPase/Ca-ATPase chimera that retained only 26 amino acids of the Na,K-ATPase alpha-subunit, demonstrating that all three beta-subunits recognize this same alpha-subunit assembly site.
