No immediate clinical implications; extends mutagenesis mapping of Na+/K+-ATPase glycoside sites.
Extensive random mutagenesis of the Na+/K+-ATPase alpha1 subunit identified novel amino acid residues in the H4 and H10 transmembrane regions that alter sensitivity to cardiac glycosides like ouabain.
Croyle et al. (1997) studied this question. Random mutagenesis of the Na+/K+-ATPase alpha1 subunit was evaluated on Identification of amino acid residues altering ouabain sensitivity. Random mutagenesis of the Na+/K+-ATPase alpha1 subunit identified 24 ouabain-resistant clones, revealing new substitutions in the H4 and H10 transmembrane regions that alter ouabain sensitivity.
