title: Characterization of the beta-subunit of the H(+)-K(+)-ATPase using an inhibitory monoclonal antibody.
abstract: The gastric proton pump, H(+)-K(+)-ATPase, is composed of alpha- and beta-subunits. The 95-kDa alpha-subunit has been referred to as the catalytic subunit containing sites for ATP binding and phosphorylation. The beta-subunit is a glycoprotein with a 34-kDa core peptide that has a single transmembrane segment, a small cytoplasmic NH2-terminal, and a large extracellular COOH-terminal domain with seven potential N-linked glycosylation sites. To further study the beta-subunit, we developed monoclonal antibodies that identified a 52-kDa mannose-rich glycoprotein that was deglycosylated by endoglycosidase H such that six transient intermediates were identified, as well as a 34-kDa beta-subunit core peptide. These observations suggest that the beta-subunit is synthesized as a 52-kDa glycoprotein with seven N-linked precursor high-mannose oligosaccharides that mature into complex oligosaccharides. One antibody, 2G11, inhibits the K(+)-stimulated ATP hydrolysis as well as K(+)-stimulated p-nitrophenyl phosphatase (pNPPase) activity of the H(+)-K(+)-ATPase. Kinetic studies revealed that 2G11 inhibited maximum velocity (Vmax) of ATP hydrolysis by approximately 50% with no change in the Km for K+, whereas, for pNPPase both Vmax and Km were altered. These studies demonstrate a functional role for the beta-subunit in the H(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity, especially the K(+)-induced conformational states.
