Abstract excerpt
Na+,K+-ATPase possesses a highly conserved glycine (G358 in the α3 isoform) that-together with a nearby isoleucine (I363 in α3)-is targeted by mutations causing some of the most severe neurological phenotypes of the clinical spectrum of α3-Na+,K+-ATPase mutations. The disease mutations α3-G358V and α3-I363N affect Na+ and K+ transport to an extent incompatible with cell growth. However, alanine replacement of the...
