Cardiac steroids inhibit Na,K-ATPase and the related non-gastric H,K-ATPase, while they do not interact with gastric H,K-ATPase. Introducing an arginine, the residue present in the gastric H,K-ATPase, in the second extracellular loop at the corresponding position 334 in the human non-gastric H,K-ATPase (D334R mutation) rendered it completely resistant to 2mM ouabain. The corresponding mutation (E319R) in alpha1 Na,K-ATPase produced a approximately 2-fold increase of the ouabain IC(50) in the ouabain-resistant rat alpha1 Na,K-ATPase and a large decrease of the ouabain affinity of human alpha1 Na,K-ATPase, on the other hand this mutation had no effect on the affinity for the aglycone ouabagenin. These results provide a strong support for the orientation of ouabain in its biding site with its sugar moiety interacting directly with the second extracellular loop.

The sodium potassium pump, Na,K-ATPase (NKA), is an integral plasma membrane protein, expressed in all eukaryotic cells. It is responsible for maintaining the transmembrane Na gradient and is the major determinant of the membrane potential. Self-interaction and oligomerization of NKA in cell membranes has been proposed and discussed but is still an open question.

Hypertension is a risk factor for premature death and roughly 50% of hypertensive patients are salt-sensitive. The incidence of salt-sensitive hypertension increases with age. However, the mechanisms of salt-sensitive hypertension are not well understood.

Our laboratory has recently demonstrated that low concentrations of ouabain increase blood pressure in rats associated with stimulation of NaK ATPase activity and activation of the Src signaling cascade in NHE1-dependent manner. Proteomic analysis of human kidney proximal tubule cells (HKC11) suggested that the Angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) as an ouabain-associating protein. We hypothesize that ouabain-induced stimulation of NaK ATPase activity is mediated through AT1R.

Cardiotonic steroids (such as ouabain) signaling through Na/K-ATPase regulate sodium reabsorption in the renal proximal tubule. We report here that reactive oxygen species are required to initiate ouabain-stimulated Na/K-ATPase·c-Src signaling. Pretreatment with the antioxidant N-acetyl-L-cysteine prevented ouabain-stimulated Na/K-ATPase·c-Src signaling, protein carbonylation, redistribution of Na/K-ATPase and sodium/proton exchanger isoform 3, and inhibition of active transepithelial (22)Na(+) transport.

DNA microarrays are powerful tools for high throughput analysis of gene expression; however, they do not measure protein expression. Current methods for producing protein arrays require sophisticated equipment or extensive protein modification. We developed a low overhead, customizable assay platform called frozen protein arrays that can detect native proteins in protein lysates.
