Resumo

We analyzed the modulation by exogenous FXYD2 peptide and by endogenous protein kinases A and C, and Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent kinase, of gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity in the semi-terrestrial mangrove crab Ucides cordatus after 10-days acclimation to different salinities. Osmotic and ionic regulatory ability and gill (Na-+,Na- K+)-ATPase activity also were evaluated. (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity is stimulated by exogenous pig kidney FXYD2 peptide, while phosphorylation by endogenous protein kinases A and C and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase inhibits activity. Stimulation by FXYD2 and inhibition by protein kinase C and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase are salinity-dependent. This is the first demonstration of inhibitory phosphorylation of a crustacean (Na+, K+)-ATPase by Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase. At low salinities, the (Na+, K+)ATPase exhibited a single, low affinity ATP-binding site that showed Michaelis-Menten behavior. Above 18%S, a second, cooperative, high affinity ATP-binding site appeared, corresponding to 10-20% of total (Na+, K+)ATPase activity. Hemolymph osmolality was strongly hyper-/hypo-regulated in crabs acclimated at 2 to 35 parts per thousand S. Cl- was well hyper-/hypo-regulated although Na+ much less so, becoming isonatremic at elevated salinity. (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity was greatest in isosmotic crabs (26 parts per thousand S), decreasing notably at 35 parts per thousand S and also diminishing progressively from 18to 2 parts per thousand S. Hyper-osmoregulation in U. cordatus showed little dependence on gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity, suggesting a role for other ion transporters. These findings reveal that the salinity acclimation response in U. cordatus consists of a suite of enzymatic and osmoregulatory adjustments that maintain its osmotic homeostasis in a challenging, mangrove forest environment.
