Co-localization and polarized distribution of Na,K-ATPase alpha 3 and beta 2 subunits in photoreceptor cells.

Abstract: Na,K-ATPase plays a central role in the visual sensitivity of photoreceptors by driving the dark current of vision. The alpha 3 and beta 2 isoforms of Na,K-ATPase were previously shown to be the major alpha and beta subunit mRNAs expressed in photoreceptors. Here we compared the distribution of beta-subunits of the enzyme in the retina and kidney, using electron microscopic immunocytochemistry with specific antibodies against alpha 3, beta 1, and beta 2 isoforms as well as with an antibody (Ax2) that binds to … Show more

“…This contrasts with the situation in rodents, where the ␣1 subunit is the only isoform that appears to be expressed (Shyjan and Levenson 1989). In mammals, the ␣3 gene is expressed predominantly within neurons (Cameron et al 1994) and in retinal photoreceptors (Schneider et al 1991). Both of the zebrafish ␣3 orthologs show expression in brain and eye.…”

“…The distribution of syntaxin 3 closely paralleled that of the β2 subunit of Na,K-ATPase, a marker for the RIS PM (Schneider et al, 1991), suggesting that they were present in the same membrane (Fig. 1M).…”

“…The C3 isoform has been localized to rat photoreceptors, horizontal cells, and bipolar cells (4)(5)(6). Photoreceptors predominantly express the a3 mRNA (-85%), a small amount of a1 mRNA (-15%), and almost no detectable CY2 mRNA (.0.4%).…”

“…Photoreceptors predominantly express the a3 mRNA (-85%), a small amount of a1 mRNA (-15%), and almost no detectable CY2 mRNA (.0.4%). Electron microscopic immunocytochemistry studies reveal that the a3 isoform is localized exclusively to the plasma membrane of the inner segments (5,6). The photoreceptor Na+,K+-pump operates near Vmax in the darkadapted or depolarized state, due to the constant entry of Na+ into the cell and the leakage of K+ from the cell, and is slowed during maintained rod-saturating illumination in response to a decrease in the intracellular Na+ concentration (7,8).…”
