Caveolae appear in a multitude of processes encompassing growth regulation and trafficking. We demonstrate the abundant presence of ESA/reggie-1/flotillin-2, ATP synthase beta subunit and annexin V in endothelial caveolae by immunopurification of caveolae from vascular endothelial membrane. Five proteins are abundant in a caveolin-1 protein complex, analyzed by sucrose gradient velocity sedimentation following octyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside extraction. Caveolin-1 alpha interacts with caveolin-1beta, caveolin-2, actin, the microsomal form of NADH cytochrome B5 reductase and ESA/reggie-1/flotillin-2 as shown by co-immunoprecipitation. We propose the concept that ATP biosynthesis in caveolae regulates mechanosignaling and is induced by membrane depolarization and a proton gradient. Pressure stimuli and metabolic changes may trigger gene regulation in endothelial cells, involving a nuclear conformer of caveolin-1, shown here with an epitope-specific caveolin-1 antibody, and immediate response of ion channel activity, regulated by ESA/reggie-1/flotillin-2.
