We have demonstrated previously that in adult ferret heart two alpha-subunit isoforms of the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, alpha(+) and alpha, are expressed. The alpha(+)-isoform may comprise either alpha 2-, or alpha 3-, or both isoforms. The present studies further characterize the alpha(+)-isoform. The alpha(+)-isoform of ferret heart did not react with an alpha 2-specific monoclonal antibody, but rather with two different alpha 3-specific polyclonal antibodies. Electrophoretic mobility of the alpha(+)-isoform in sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis is slower than that of the alpha 2-isoform, but similar to that of the alpha 3-isoform. Limited proteolytic peptide mapping was performed using Staphylococcus aureus V8. Proteolytic fragments were then immunostained with an alpha 3-specific antibody. The peptide maps of ferret heart alpha(+)-isoform and rat brain alpha 3-isoform were identical, as were those of ferret heart alpha(+)-isoform and ferret brain alpha 3-isoform. These results indicate that the alpha(+)-isoform of ferret heart is an alpha 3-isoform. During postnatal development, the same isoforms expressed in the adult ferret heart (alpha 1 and alpha 3), were also expressed in neonatal heart. In adult or neonatal heart alpha 2-isoform was not detectable. Relative abundances of the isoforms in ventricular and atrial tissues differed. Compared with ventricular tissue, left and right atrial tissues expressed much less alpha 3 than alpha 1. It is concluded that, unlike rat heart, alpha 1- and alpha 3-isoforms are expressed in adult ferret heart.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
