Abstract
BACKGROUND: Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase activity is upregulated during muscle exercise to maintain ionic homeostasis. One mechanism may involve movement of alpha-subunits to the outer membrane (translocation). AIM: We investigated the existence of exercise-induced translocation and phosphorylation of phospholemman (PLM, FXYD1) protein in rat skeletal muscle and exercise-induced changes in V(max) and K(m) for Na(+) of the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase. METHODS: Two membrane fractionation methods and immunoprecipitation were used. RESULTS: Both fractionation methods revealed a 200-350% increase in PLM in the sarcolemma after 30 min of treadmill running, while the phosphorylation of Ser-68 of PLM appeared to be unchanged. Exercise did not change V(max) or K(m) for Na(+) of the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase in muscle homogenate, but induced a 67% increase in V(max) in the sarcolemmal giant vesicle preparation; K(m) for Na(+) remained constant. The main part of the increase in V(max) is related to a 36-53% increase in the level of alpha-subunits; the remainder may be related to increased PLM content. Similar results were obtained with another membrane purification method. In resting muscle, 29% and 32% of alpha(1)- and alpha(2)-subunits, respectively, were co-immunoprecipitated by PLM antibodies. In muscle homogenate prepared after exercise, immunoprecipitation of alpha(1)-subunits was increased to 227%, whereas the fraction of precipitated alpha(2) remained constant. CONCLUSION: Exercise translocates PLM to the muscle outer membrane and increases its association with mainly the alpha(1)-subunit, which may contribute to the increased V(max) of the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase.
