1. Dissociation constants for sodium and potassium of a site that modulates the rate of ouabain-(Na(+)+K(+))-ATPase interaction were applied to models for potassium activation of (Na(+)+K(+))-ATPase. The constants for potassium (0.213 mM) and for sodium (13.7 mM) were defined, respectively, as activation constant, K(a) and inhibitory constant, K(i).2. Tests of the one- and the two-equivalent site models, that describe sodium and potassium competition, revealed that neither model adequately predicts the activation effects of potassium in the presence of 100 or 200 mM sodium.3. The potassium-activation data, obtained at low potassium and high sodium, were explained by a two-nonequivalent site model where the dissociation constants of the first site are 0.213 mM for potassium and 13.7 mM for sodium. The second site was characterized by dissociation constants of 0.091 mM for potassium and 74.1 mM for sodium.4. The two-nonequivalent site model adequately predicted the responses to concentrations of potassium between 0.25 and 5 mM in the presence of 100-500 mM sodium. At lower sodium concentrations the predicted responses formed an upper limit for the function of observed activities. This limit was reached at lower concentrations of potassium and higher concentrations of sodium, which inferred saturation of the sodium-activation sites with sodium.5. Sodium-activation data were corrected for sodium interaction with potassium-activation sites by use of the two-nonequivalent site model for potassium activation. Tests of equivalent site models suggested that the corrected data for sodium activation may be most consistent with a model that has three-equivalent sites. Other multiequivalent site models (n = 2, 4, 5 or 6), however, cannot be statistically eliminated as possibilities. The three-equivalent site activation model was characterized by dissociation constants of 1.39 mM for sodium and 11.7 mM for potassium. The system theoretically would be half-maximally activated by 5.35 mM sodium in the absence of potassium.6. Derivation of the model for sodium activation assumed that the affinities of these sites for sodium and potassium are independent of cation interactions with the potassium-activation sites. Therefore, the kinetic descriptions for sodium and potassium effects form a composite model that is consistent with simultaneous transport of sodium and potassium.7. Predictions of the composite equation are in reasonable agreement with data obtained by variation of sodium (potassium = 10 mM), variation of potassium (sodium = 100 mM) and by simultaneous variation of sodium and potassium (sodium:potassium = 10). Sodium-activation data (2.5-20 mM sodium) also agree with predictions of the model in the presence of potassium concentrations which are thought to be present at the sodium-activation sites in vivo.8. The kinetic description for sodium (three-equivalent sites) and potassium (two-nonequivalent sites) activation of the transport-ATPase is in accord with the probable stoichiometric requirements of the sodium pump. The model is also in general agreement with other studies on intact transporting systems and (Na(+)+K(+))-ATPase in fragmented membrane preparations with respect to potassium activation, although there is a quantitative disagreement. The model for sodium activation, though consistent with data obtained by other studies on fragmented (Na(+)+K(+))-ATPase preparations, is in apparent variance with much of the data obtained for intact transporting systems. The description for potassium activation suggests that the rates of ouabain binding to (Na(+)+K(+))-ATPase are modulated by competition between sodium and potassium for one of the two potassium-activation sites.

1 An improved binding assay involving (-)-[(3)H]-dihydroalprenolol (DHA) and KCl-washed cardiac membranes was developed to study beta-adrenoceptors in the canine heart quantitatively.2 Receptor numbers varied from 3.8 to 7.1 pmol/g fresh tissue, showing a steady increase from left atrium --> right atrium --> right ventricle --> interventricular septum --> left ventricle. With one minor exception, the same pattern was found for adenylate cyclase activity and Na(+), K(+)-activated ATPase activity.3 The binding of DHA was inhibited in the expected manner by beta-adrenoceptor agonists and antagonists, and was stereospecific, in confirmation of previous studies. Dissociation constants determined from Scatchard analyses included DHA: 2.5 nM; (-)adrenaline: 230 nM; (-)noradrenaline: 1167 nM. Kinetic analyses of the binding of DHA yielded a K(D) of about 4 nM.4 The distribution of beta-receptors is closely related to that of blood flow and the arrival plus retention of a circulating catecholamine, but is markedly different from that of endogenous noradrenaline, and thus adrenergic nerve terminals. Most receptors thus appear not at synapses but diffusely localized where they can react with circulating adrenaline.5 Evidence is discussed that beta-receptors at synapses respond primarily to neural noradrenaline, less to circulating adrenaline, and hardly at all to circulating noradrenaline; responses mediate increased cardiac output during exercise. In contrast most cardiac beta-receptors appear to respond only to adrenaline, and to be used, except at times of severe circulatory stress, during psychological stress.

Axenically propagated Entamoeba histolytica (HK9:NIH strain) were employed as starting material for the isoation of plasma membrane by a novel procedure. In the absence of known enzymatic markers, the externally disposed polypeptides of intact amoebae were iodinated and the incorporated label used to monitor membrane separation and recovery. 12 major plasma membrane polypeptides (12 x 10(3)-200 x 10(3) mol wt) were labeled and separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Each of these was a glycoprotein. Preincubation of amoebae with concanavalin A stabilized the plasma membranes as large sheets, facilitating its separation by low-speed centrifugation. Dissociation of the lectin with alpha-methyl mannoside, followed by additional homogenization led to vesiculation and further purification. The isolated plasma membrane was recovered in high yield (28%) and enriched 30-fold in terms of incorporated iodide. All iodinated surface glycoproteins of the intact organism were present in the plasma membrane fraction. A Ca++-dependent ATPase was enriched in the plasma membrane to a similar extent, but over one-half of the total activity was associated with internal, unlabeled membranes, suggesting a dual localization of this activity. The isolated plasma membrane was enriched in cholesterol and had a cholesterol:molar ratio of 0.87. It also contained larger amounts of an unusual phospholipid--ceramide aminoethyl phosphonate--a phospholipase-resistant species.

TWO SODIUM TRANSPORT SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN ANALYZED IN THIS WORK: the voltage-sensitive sodium channel and the (Na(+), K(+)) ATPase pump. The sodium channel has been studied using a tritiated derivative of tetrodotoxin; the sodium pump has been studied using tritiated ouabain. Properties of interaction of tritiated tetrodotoxin and of tritiated ouabain with their respective receptors were observed in normal human skeletal muscle and in muscles of patients with myotonic muscular dystrophy and with lower motor neuron impairment. Levels of sodium pump and of sodium channels were measured at different stages of membrane purification. Microsomal fractions of normal human muscle have maximal binding capacities for tetrodotoxin of 230 fmol/mg of protein and of 7.4 pmol/mg of protein for ouabain. Dissociation constant for the complexes formed by the tetrodotoxin derivative and by ouabain with their respective receptors were 0.52 nM and 0.55 muM, respectively. In muscles from patients with myotonic muscular dystrophy, the maximal binding capacity for tetrodotoxin, i.e., the number of Na(+) channels was found to be very similar to that found for normal muscle. The maximal binding capacity for ouabain, i.e., the number of Na(+) pumps was three- to sixfold lower than in normal muscle. Dissociation constants for the complexes formed with the tetrodotoxin derivative and with ouabain were the same as for normal muscle. In muscles from patients with lower motor nerve impairment, the maximal binding capacities for tetrodotoxin and for ouabain were twice as high as in normal muscle. Again, dissociation constants for the complexes formed with the tetrodotoxin derivative and with ouabain were nearly unchanged as compared with normal muscle. These results suggest that sodium transport systems involved in the generation of action potentials and/or in the regulation of the resting potential are altered both in myotonic muscular dystrophy and in lower motor neuron impairment.

1. (Na+ + K+)-dependent adenosine triphosphatase was phosphorylated on the alpha-subunit by Pi in the presence of Mg2+. Phosphorylation was stimulated by ouabain. The interactions of Pi, Mg2+, and ouabain with the enzyme could be explained by a random terreactant scheme in which the binding of each ligand to the enzyme increased the affinities for the other two. Dissociation constants of all steps of this scheme were estimated. 2. In the presence of Pi and ouabain and without added Mg2+, the phosphoenzyme was formed. Because this could be prevented by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, but not ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid, phosphoenzyme formation under these conditions was probably dependent on traces of endogenous Mg2+. The ability of this Mg2+ to support phosphorylation could be explained by the large increase in the enzyme's affinity for Mg2+ by ouabain. 3. In the absence of ouabain, Ca2+ did not support phosphorylation and inhibited Mg2+-dependent phosphorylation. At lower concentrations, Ca2+ was competitive with Mg2+. With increasing Ca2+ concentration, negative cooperativity was observed, suggesting the existence of multiple divalent cation sites with equivalent affinities for Mg2+, but varying affinities for Ca2+. 4. In the presence of ouabain, the maximum inhibition of Mg2+-dependent phosphorylation by Ca2+ was 50%. With saturating Pi, Mg2+, and ouabain, the number of sites binding ouabain was equal to the number of sites phosphorylated. Although Ca2+ halved phosphorylation and reduced the affinity for ouabain about 100-fold, it did not affect the number of ouabain sites. 5. We suggest that the enzyme is an alpha-oligomer and that the half-of-the-sites reactivity for phosphorylation in the presence of Pi, Mg2+, ouabain, and optimal Ca2+ is caused by (a) ouabain-induced increase in the affinities of both protomers for Mg2+ and (b) the inability of Ca2+ to replace Mg2+ on one of the protomers.

Binding of [3H]ouabain by erythrocytes and levels of (Na+ + K+) ATPase, cell sodium and potassium, and plasma triiodothyronine (T3) were studied in 16 normal, apparently healthy men. The subjects were between 28 and 50 years of age. Based on their economic status, the subjects were divided into two groups of eight each. Group A consisted of subjects with a higher economic status; these subjects had a mean body mass index (weight/height2) of 24.1 +/- 1.2 (mean +/- SEM). Group B comprised subjects with a lower economic status; these subjects had a mean body mass index of 18.8 +/- 1.0. The number of ouabain binding sites per red cell in group B was higher (466 +/- 29) compared with that in group A (348 +/- 21; P less than 0.01). The dissociation constant (Kd) between the two groups was not different. The (Na+ + K+) ATPase activity per 10(10) cells in group B (0.50 +/- 0.07) was higher compared with that in group A (0.29 +/- 0.03). The increased number of pump sites and increased enzyme activity in group B were associated with a lower [Na]-to-[K] ratio in the cell (P less than 0.01). The plasma T3 level in group A (202 +/- 16.7 ng/dL) was not statistically different from that of group B (163 +/- 17.6 ng/dL). The number of sodium pump sites showed an inverse relationship with body mass index (r = -0.55; P less than 0.05) and with the cell [Na]-to-[K] ratio (r = -0.74; P less than 0.01). The number of pump sites in group A showed a positive correlation (r = 0.60) with plasma T3 levels. Such a relationship was, however, weak in group B (r = 0.36). The results lead to the conclusion that there was increased utilization of available cell energy by sodium pump activity in the subjects in group B. This may be a physiologic adaptation for efficient utilization of ingested nutrients via the sodium pump in response to marginal nutrient deficits in these subjects. Dissociation of increased pump sites from plasma T3 levels may mean that the adaptive phenomenon does not represent a wasteful loss of energy.

The protection of F1 ATPase by inorganic phosphate, ADP, ATP, and magnesium ion against inactivation by 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole, and 1-(ethoxycarbonyl)-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline, respectively, has been investigated. Dissociation equilibrium constants and rate constants for the labeling reactions have been deduced from a quantitative treatment of the kinetic data. Comparison of these dissociation constants with each other and with the corresponding literature values indicates that the essential Tyr, Arg, Lys, and Glu or Asp residues are indeed located at the catalytic site of the enzyme. Examination of the rate constants for the labeling reactions in the presence of excess inorganic phosphate, ADP, ATP, or magnesium ion, respectively, suggests that the essential phenol and amino groups are located nearer to the bound inorganic phosphate or the gamma-phosphate group than to the alpha- or beta-phosphate group of the bound ATP, that the essential guanidinium group is located nearer to the alpha- or beta-phosphate group than to the gamma-phosphate group of the bound ATP or the bound inorganic phosphate, and that the essential carboxylate group is located slightly farther away but complexed with magnesium ion which it shares with the bound inorganic phosphate. A mechanism consistent with these topographical relationships is proposed for the catalytic hydrolysis and synthesis of ATP.

The role of tyrosine in the catalytic mechanism of nucleoside triphosphate hydrolysis by beef heart mitochondrial ATPase is explored. We compare the rates of the ATPase reaction by both nitrated and native F1 at both pH 8 and pH 6. The pH-activity profile of nitrated F1 is compared to the pH-activity profile of the unmodified enzyme. These data indicate that the phenolic group of an active-site tyrosine must be protonated during the hydrolysis reaction. Deuterium oxide is used in the reaction buffer to explore the role of protons in the ATPase reaction. Kinetic constants of the nucleoside triphosphates are obtained at various levels of D2O using both the nitrated and native forms of F1. Several nucleoside diphosphates are used as inhibitors of F1-catalyzed ITP hydrolysis. Dissociation constants of these inhibitors are obtained at both low and high concentrations of D2O for both the nitrated and native F1. We explore the possibility that a tyrosine and an arginine lie in close proximity in the F1 active site by studying the effects of sequential modification of arginine and tyrosine. These results are interpreted in terms of possible ATP hydrolysis mechanisms. Two possible roles for tyrosine in the hydrolysis of nucleoside triphosphates by F1 are suggested.

Steady-state velocity studies using a substrate regenerating system showed that efrapeptin, citreoviridin and aurovertin inhibit both membrane-bound and soluble mitochondrial ATPase (coupling factor F1) from Trypanosoma cruzi. Maximal inhibitions of ATP hydrolysis produced by efrapeptin and citreoviridin were 100-93%, while the maximal inhibition produced by aurovertin was 40%. Half-maximal inhibitory concentrations decreased in the order citreoviridin greater than aurovertin greater than efrapeptin. Dissociation constants (KD) for the inhibitor-F1 complex were 81 nM (efrapeptin), 6.6 muM (aurovertin) and 40 muM (citreoviridin); KD values for the membrane-bound F1 were 2-4 fold higher than for soluble F1. Representation of efrapeptin inhibition data in the Hill form yielded straight lines (n = 1) while the same representation of citreoviridin inhibition yielded concave down plots. In contrast to the immediate effect of citreoviridin and aurovertin, efrapeptin inhibition was time-dependent. The onset of inhibition, which was pseudo-first-order with respect to efrapeptin, indicated that ATP may promote the binding of efrapeptin to the enzyme. The kinetics of ATP hydrolysis by T. cruzi ATPase as a function MgATP concentration could be explained by the presence of two substrate sites on the enzyme, interacting in such a way that the binding and catalytic events at one site were conformationally linked to the events at the other site, as with the mammalian ATPase. When the antibiotics were assayed at increasing substrate concentrations, efrapeptin produced a linear, mixed-type inhibition whereas citreoviridin produced a parabolic noncompetitive-type inhibition. The aurovertin effect was unusual since the extent of inhibition was greater at high substrate concentrations. Maximal concentrations of all the assayed antibiotics linearized the biphasic double reciprocal plot of control ATPase activity. Comparison of T. cruzi and mammalian F1 responses to the assayed antibiotics revealed the operation of similar inhibition mechanisms but the T. cruzi enzyme was significantly less sensitive to inhibitors than its mammalian counterpart.

The rates of inactivation of BF1 adenosinetriphosphatase (BF1-ATPase) from Escherichia coli by 7-chloro-4-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole, 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonate, phenylglyoxal, and N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide have been measured in the presence and absence of various concentrations of inorganic phosphate, ADP, ATP, or magnesium ion. Dissociation equilibrium constants and rate constants for the labeling reactions have been deduced from a quantitative treatment of the kinetic data. The results suggest that the essential Tyr, Lys, Arg, and Glu or Asp residues are probably located at the catalytic site of BF1-ATPase and that in addition to steric interference, the effect of charge interaction should also be considered in interpreting the kinetic data on the protection of BF1-ATPase by substrate molecules against inactivation by the above labeling reagents. Examination of the relative values of the rate constants for the labeling reactions in the presence and absence of inorganic phosphate, ADP, ATP, or magnesium ion, respectively, and the effect of NBD label on the rates of labeling of the essential guanidinium, amino, and carboxyl groups suggest that the arrangement of these four functional groups at the catalytic site of BF1 may be similar to that previously proposed for MF1-ATPase from bovine heart; namely, the essential amino group and the unusually reactive phenol group are probably located near the bound inorganic phosphate or the gamma-phosphate group of the bound ATP, the essential guanidinium group is probably located nearer to the alpha- or beta-phosphate group than to the gamma-phosphate group of the bound ATP or the bound inorganic phosphate, and the essential carboxylate group is probably complexed with a magnesium ion which it shares with the bound inorganic phosphate.
