Angiotensin II directly stimulates activity and alters the phosphorylation of Na-K-ATPase in rat proximal tubule with a rapid time course
2004
We present evidence that Na-K-ATPase in the rat proximal tubule is directly activated by ANG II much faster than previously observed. Specifically, we show that a 2-min exposure to 0.1 and 1 nM ANG II slowed the rate of intracellular sodium accumulation in response to an increase in extracellular sodium added in the presence of gramicidin D. From these data, we show that ANG II directly stimulates Na-K-ATPase activity at rate-limiting concentrations of intracellular sodium. Under these same conditions, exposing proximal tubules to ANG II altered the amount of 32P incorporated into multiple phosphopeptides generated from a tryptic digest of the α-subunit of Na-K-ATPase. Na-K-ATPase was isolated from whole cell lysates by means of a ouabain-affinity column and then separated into its individual subunits by SDS-PAGE. Na-K-ATPase bound to the column in its E2 conformation and was eluted by altering its conformation to E1 using Na+ATP. Na-K-ATPase isolated from cells treated with ANG II eluted more easily from...
