Protein kinase C phosphorylates phospholemman at both Ser-63 and Ser-68 in its cytoplasmic C-terminal domain, while cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) phosphorylates only Ser-68. Insulin stimulation results in labeling of phosphopeptides containing both Ser-63 and Ser-68, whereas adrenaline results in labeling of the peptide containing Ser-68. |

PLM topology places the extracellular N-terminal segment (residues 1–17) in a protease-resistant configuration, while the intracellular C-terminal domain (residues 38–72) is protease-sensitive. The cytoplasmic tail is required for voltage-dependent channel inactivation: trypsin treatment yielding a limit peptide (residues 1–43) or recombinant PLM 1–43 retains ion-channel activity in lipid bilayers but shows dramatically reduced voltage-dependent inactivation. |

PKA co-expression increases PLM-induced oocyte current amplitude and membrane PLM level largely through phosphorylation of Ser-68; a phosphorylation-null PLM mutant (SSST→AAAA) is unresponsive to PKA co-expression. The cytoplasmic domain is not essential for inducing currents. |

Phospholemman is a substrate for myotonic dystrophy protein kinase (DMPK) in vitro. Co-expression of DMPK with PLM in Xenopus oocytes reduces PLM-induced Cl- current amplitude and reduces membrane PLM expression; this effect is absent with a phosphorylation-null PLM mutant (all Ser→Ala), indicating it is phosphorylation-dependent. |

Reduction of PLM expression by antisense oligonucleotides in cerebellar astrocytes decreases osmosensitive taurine efflux by 62–67%, demonstrating that PLM plays a role in regulatory volume decrease (RVD) via taurine flux. PKA activation increases this taurine efflux, while PKC appears largely dispensable for the taurine component. |

Phospholemman physically associates with Na,K-ATPase (all three alpha isoforms, alpha1–alpha3) in cerebellum and choroid plexus, demonstrated by co-purification and reciprocal co-immunoprecipitation. Antibodies against the C-terminal domain of PLM reduce Na,K-ATPase activity in vitro without altering Na+ affinity. |

PLM and Na,K-ATPase are in sufficient proximity for FRET when expressed as CFP/YFP fusion proteins in HEK293 cells. PKA activation (Ser-68 phosphorylation) and PKC activation (Ser-63 and Ser-68 phosphorylation) progressively and reversibly decrease NKA–PLM FRET, indicating phosphorylation reduces their physical interaction. PLM–PLM FRET is stronger than NKA–PLM FRET and is enhanced by phosphorylation, consistent with PLM multimerization upon phosphorylation. No FRET was detected between PLM and Na/Ca exchanger despite membrane co-localization. |

PLM mediates the PKC-dependent activation of Na/K-ATPase (NKA) function in cardiac myocytes: PKC activation (PDBu) increases NKA Vmax in wild-type myocytes but has no effect on NKA Vmax or Na+ affinity in PLM-knockout myocytes. PKA (isoproterenol) and PKC effects are additive, acting through different parameters (Na+ affinity and Vmax, respectively). |

PKA phosphorylation of PLM at Ser-68 increases the apparent Na+ affinity (decreases K0.5 for Na+) of both NKA-alpha1/beta1 and alpha2/beta1 isozymes without altering maximal transport activity. PKC phosphorylation of PLM increases maximal pump current (turnover number) of alpha2/beta1 but not alpha1/beta1, without affecting K+ affinity of either isozyme. |

PLM associates with cardiac Na+/Ca2+ exchanger 1 (NCX1) in the sarcolemma and transverse tubules (demonstrated by co-localization and co-immunoprecipitation). PLM inhibits NCX1 independently of its effects on Na,K-ATPase; the cytoplasmic domain of PLM is required for NCX1 regulation. Phosphorylation of PLM at Ser-68 is the active form that inhibits NCX1 (in contrast, unphosphorylated PLM inhibits Na,K-ATPase). |

PLM forms 1:1 stoichiometric complexes with both NKA-alpha1 and NKA-alpha2 (FRET-based). PLM phosphorylation (PKA and PKC) drastically reduces FRET with both isoforms. PLM–PLM FRET indicates oligomers of ≥3 monomers. Isoproterenol (via PKA) increases Na+ affinity of both NKA-alpha1 and alpha2; PKC activation increases Vmax only for NKA-alpha2 but reduces K(1/2) for both. Ouabain abolishes NKA–PLM FRET but only partially reduces co-immunoprecipitation. |

PLM phosphorylation at either Ser-63 or Ser-68 alone is necessary and sufficient to completely relieve PLM-induced inhibition of NKA Na+ affinity. The double-mutant AA PLM (Ser63Ala/Ser68Ala) cannot be relieved by PKA or PKC activation; single-site mutants S63A or S68A retain responsiveness. |

Surface expression of PLM in Xenopus oocytes requires co-expression with Na,K-ATPase (alpha1/beta1); the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger cannot drive PLM to the cell surface. A phosphorylation-mimicking mutation at Thr-69 or truncation of three C-terminal arginine residues facilitates NKA-dependent surface expression of PLM. |

Two pools of PLM exist in adult rat ventricular myocytes: one pool associated with the sodium pump (phosphorylated at Ser-68 or unphosphorylated) and a separate pool of PLM oligomers not associated with the pump (phosphorylated at Ser-63). PLM multimers co-immunoprecipitate unphosphorylatable PLM from heterozygous transgenic hearts, confirming PLM–PLM multimerization. The non-pump-associated PLM pool has no effect on sodium pump activity upon dephosphorylation. |

Nitric oxide (NO) activates Na,K-ATPase via a PKCε–PLM phosphorylation pathway: field stimulation increases endogenous NO, PKCε activation, and PLM phosphorylation (Ser-63 and Ser-68), all of which are abolished by Ca2+ chelation or NOS inhibition. Exogenous NO stimulates NKA in PLM-WT but not PLM-KO or PLM-3SA myocytes, identifying PLM phosphorylation as required for NO-dependent NKA activation. |

Prevention of PLM phosphorylation in PLM-3SA knock-in mice (Ser63/68/69→Ala) increases [Na+]i, reduces forward-mode NCX, exacerbates cardiac hypertrophy and NKA inhibition after aortic constriction compared to WT. In WT mice, aortic constriction causes PLM hypophosphorylation, progressive NKA current decline, and elevated [Na+]i. These data establish that PLM phosphorylation is causally required to maintain NKA activity and limit Na+ overload and adverse remodeling. |

Scanning mutagenesis of PLM transmembrane domain identifies residue L30 as critical for PLM–PLM tetramerization (L30A decreases PLM–PLM FRET) and for functional inhibition of NKA. L30A PLM shows increased NKA–PLM FRET and superinhibition of NKA, increasing Ca2+ transient amplitude in cardiomyocytes. These superinhibitory effects are reversible with isoproterenol (PKA activation). Molecular dynamics simulations show L30A distorts the TM helix and destabilizes the tetramer. |

PLM phosphorylation at Ser-63 and Ser-68 limits vascular constriction in response to phenylephrine via Na/K-ATPase (effect blocked by ouabain). PLM-3SA mice (unphosphorylatable PLM) show profoundly enhanced vascular responses to phenylephrine in vitro and in vivo and develop aging-induced hypertension. A human coding variant R70C (SNP rs61753924) prevents PLM phosphorylation at Ser-68 in HEK293 cells and is associated with elevated blood pressure in middle-aged men. |

Peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6) interacts with PLM and depalmitoylates it in a glutathione-dependent manner. Glutathione loading reduces PLM palmitoylation; glutathione depletion increases PLM palmitoylation. Prdx6 silencing abolishes these effects. In vitro, recombinant Prdx6 (but not other Prdx isoforms) removes palmitic acid from palmitoylated recombinant PLM. PLM palmitoylation inhibits Na,K-ATPase activity, and this is reversed by Prdx6-mediated depalmitoylation. The broad-spectrum depalmitoylase inhibitor palmostatin B blocks Prdx6-dependent PLM depalmitoylation in cells and in vitro, suggesting Prdx6 acts as a thioesterase via nucleophilic attack through its reactive thiol. |
