The cRNA for Torpedo californica Na+/K(+)-ATPase beta-subunit (cRNA beta) was injected into Xenopus oocytes alone or with the cRNA for the Na+/K(+)-ATPase alpha-subunit (cRNA alpha). When cRNA beta was injected alone, the amount of the beta-subunit that accumulated in oocytes increased with increasing amounts of injected cRNA beta. When cRNA beta and cRNA alpha were injected simultaneously, less beta-subunit accumulated than when cRNA beta was injected alone, whereas the Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity increased markedly. The decrease in the accumulation of the beta-subunit was dose-dependent upon the cRNA alpha. The mutant beta-subunit unable to assemble with the alpha-subunit accumulated in oocytes independently of cRNA alpha, suggesting that post-translational control mechanisms may serve to reduce the accumulation of the beta-subunit.
