The level of the heterodimeric Na,K-ATPase is tightly controlled in epithelia to maintain appropriate transport function. The catalytic Na,K-ATPase α subunit is not able to exit the ER or catalyze ion transport unless assembled with the β subunit. However, requirements for the ER exit of the Na,K-ATPase β subunit that plays an additional, ion-transport-independent, role in intercellular adhesion are not clear. Exogenous β 1 or β 2 subunits expressed in renal MDCK cells replace endogenous β 1 subunits in the α – β complexes in the ER, resulting in a decrease in the amount of the α 1 -bound endogenous β 1 subunits by 47–61% with no change in the amount of α 1 subunits. Disruption of the α 1 – β association by mutations in defined α 1 -interacting regions of either β 1 or β 2 subunits results in the ER retention and rapid degradation of unassembled mutants. Hence, the ER quality control system allows export only of assembled α – β complexes to the Golgi, thereby maintaining an equimolar ratio of α and β subunits in the plasma membrane, whereas the number of α 1 subunits in the ER determines the amount of the α – β complexes.
