May act as a transcriptional coregulator during muscle development through its interaction with SNW1. Has lost its ancestral function as a Na,K-ATPase beta-subunit.
Change in gene functions (gene cooption) is one of the key mechanisms of molecular evolution. Genes can acquire new functions via alteration in properties of encoded proteins and/or via changes in temporal or spatial regulation of expression. Here we demonstrate radical changes in the functions of orthologous ATP1B4 genes during evolution of vertebrates. Expression of ATP1B4 genes is brain-specific in teleost fishes, whereas it is predominantly muscle-specific in tetrapods. The encoded beta m-proteins in fish, amphibian, and avian species are beta-subunits of Na,K-ATPase located in the plasma membrane. In placental mammals beta m-proteins lost their ancestral functions, accumulate in nuclear membrane of perinatal myocytes, and associate with transcriptional coregulator Ski-interacting protein (SKIP). Through interaction with SKIP, eutherian beta m acquired new functions as exemplified by regulation of TGF-beta-responsive reporters and by augmentation of mRNA levels of Smad7, an inhibitor of TGF-beta signaling. Thus, orthologous vertebrate ATP1B4 genes represent an instance of gene cooption that created fundamental changes in the functional properties of the encoded proteins.
Catalysis of the transfer of a inorganic cations with a valency of one from one side of a membrane to the other. Inorganic cations are atoms or small molecules with a positive charge that do not contain carbon in covalent linkage.
We have identified the fifth member of the mammalian X,K-ATPase beta-subunit gene family. The human and rat genes are largely expressed in skeletal muscle and at a lower level in heart. The deduced human and rat proteins designated as beta(muscle) (beta(m)) consist of 357 and 356 amino acid residues, respectively, and exhibit 89% identity. The sequence homology of beta(m) proteins with known Na,K- and H,K-ATPase beta-subunits are 30.5-39.4%. Unlike other beta-subunits, putative beta(m) proteins have large N-terminal cytoplasmic domains containing long Glu-rich sequences. The data obtained indicate the existence of hitherto unknown X,K-ATPase (most probably Na,K-ATPase) isozymes in muscle cells.
The directed movement of inorganic cations with a valency of one into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. Inorganic cations are atoms or small molecules with a positive charge which do not contain carbon in covalent linkage.

Protein involved in the transfer of genetic information from DNA to messenger RNA (mRNA) by DNA-directed RNA polymerase. In the case of some RNA viruses, protein involved in the transfer of genetic information from RNA to messenger RNA (mRNA) by RNA-directed RNA polymerase.
A reference proteome is a set of protein sequences derived from a complete proteome which constitutes a defined standard for a particular user community. Reference proteomes are manually defined according to a number of criteria. They cover the proteomes of well- studied model organisms and other proteomes of interest for biomedical and biotechnological research. Reference proteomes have been selected to provide broad coverage of the tree of life, and constitute a representative cross-section of the taxonomic diversity to be found within UniProtKB.
