    We have cloned and sequenced a cDNA for the rabbit gastric proton-potassium pump (H+/K(+)-ATPase) alpha-subunit. The deduced peptide contains 1035 amino acids (Mr 114,201) and shows 97% sequence identity with the respective rat and hog proteins. A monoclonal antibody 146-14 has been shown previously to react with the extracytoplasmic side of the catalytic H+/K(+)-ATPase subunit and here we show that the epitope is in the region between amino acids 855 and 902 (the numbering of the H+/K(+)-ATPase catalytic subunit throughout the paper refers to the rabbit sequence). The localization of this epitope in conjunction with previously observed trypsin cleavage sites in the C-terminal one third of the enzyme and the hydrophobicity plot of the deduced peptide sequence are evidence for a structural model for the alpha-subunit of the H+/K(+)-ATPase which contains at least ten membrane spanning segments, similar to that deduced for the Ca(2+)-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum.
