Synthesis pass · prose summary of the discoveries below

ATP1A1 encodes the catalytic α1 subunit of the Na+/K+-ATPase, an ATP-driven plasma-membrane ion pump whose activity governs cation gradients, membrane potential, and—in mutant or ligand-bound states—intracellular signaling (PMID:23416519, PMID:24082052, PMID:30388404). Somatic and germline missense mutations impair pump function and reduce Na+ and K+ binding affinities, producing abnormal cation permeabilities and membrane depolarization; structural modeling localizes representative substitutions (e.g. Gly99Arg) to the gateway of the ion-binding pocket (PMID:24082052, PMID:30388404). This pump dysfunction underlies aldosterone-producing adrenal adenoma through inappropriate depolarization and autonomous aldosterone secretion (PMID:23416519, PMID:24082052), and additional pathogenic variants cause renal hypomagnesemia with seizures (PMID:30388404), axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy where ATP1A1 localizes to the axolemma and Schmidt-Lanterman incisures (PMID:29499166), hereditary spastic paraplegia (PMID:31705535), and a neurodevelopmental phenotype with intellectual disability (PMID:38504481). CMT-causing variants act not through haploinsufficiency—protein-null heterozygosity is tolerated in mice and humans—but require a malfunctioning dominant protein product, in some cases destabilized by proteasomal degradation (PMID:31373411, PMID:37659504). Beyond ion transport, ATP1A1 functions as a signaling receptor: cardiotonic steroids or natural-product ligands bind it (with a defined binding site at residue T804 and resistance residues Gly98/Gly99) to trigger Src kinase activation, EGFR transactivation, and downstream ERK/AKT and Ca2+ signaling that regulates cell proliferation, junctional integrity, and EMT (PMID:28203706, PMID:31114755, PMID:34681640, PMID:39227746, PMID:39754293). This Src-coupled receptor function is exploited by multiple viruses—coronaviruses, RSV, PEDV, and PRRSV—which engage ATP1A1 as an attachment/entry factor driving macropinocytic and caveolae-mediated uptake (PMID:25653449, PMID:31381610, PMID:36835408, PMID:41773865). ATP1A1 also acts as an unconventional secretion factor, recruiting FGF2 at the inner plasma-membrane leaflet via a direct cytoplasmic-domain interaction (PMID:25533462), and mediates heterocellular tumor-fibroblast contact through homophilic ATP1A1 binding that promotes invasion (PMID:35618735). ATP1A1 protein abundance is controlled by ubiquitin-dependent turnover involving GPR37, TRIM8/LAPTM4B, and UBQLN4, linking its stability to AKT/mTOR and lysosomal signaling (PMID:39730361, PMID:40665639, PMID:41362742).
