We have cloned a cDNA that encodes the sodium pump alpha-subunit of the cat flea Ctenocephalides felis. The deduced amino acid sequence of 1037 residues is 90% homologous with the Drosophila alpha-subunit sequence and shows 75% similarity to the sheep kidney alpha-subunit. One characteristic unique to the insect polypeptides is an extended sequence at the N-terminus. Northern blot analysis of C. felis RNA detects two alpha-subunit transcripts with lengths of 3.8 and 4.4 kb. Sodium pump alpha-subunit sequences were readily detected in homogenates of flea midguts and in cDNA synthesized from midgut RNA.
