Na,K-ATPase transports Na(+) and K(+) across cell membranes and consists of alpha- and beta-subunits. Na,K-ATPase also associates with small FXYD proteins that regulate the activity of the pump. We have used cryoelectron microscopy of two-dimensional crystals including data to 8 A resolution to determine the three-dimensional (3-D) structure of renal Na,K-ATPase containing FXYD2, the gamma-subunit. A homology model for the alpha-subunit was calculated from a Ca(2+)-ATPase structure and used to locate the additional beta- and gamma-subunits present in the 3-D map of Na,K-ATPase. Based on the 3-D map, the beta-subunit is located close to transmembrane helices M8 and M10 and the gamma-subunit is adjacent to helices M2 and M9 of the alpha-subunit.
