The voltage- and time-dependent slow channels in the myocardial cell membrane are the major pathway by which Ca2+ ions enter the cell during excitation for initiation and regulation of the force of contraction of cardiac muscle. These slow channels appear to behave kinetically, on a population basis, as if their gates open, close, and recover more slowly than those of the fast Na+ channels. In addition, the slow channel gates operate over a less negative (more depolarized) voltage range. Tetrodotoxin does not block the slow channels, whereas the calcium antagonistic drugs, Mn2+, Co2+, and La3+ ions do. The slow channels have some special properties, including functional dependence on metabolic energy, selective blockade by acidosis, and regulation by the intracellular cyclic nucleotide levels. Because of these special properties of the slow channels, Ca2+ influx into the myocardial cell can be controlled by extrinsic factors (such as autonomic nerve stimulation or circulating hormones) and by intrinsic factors (such as cellular pH or ATP level). During transient regional ischemia, the selective blockade of the slow channels, which results in depression of the contraction and work of the afflicted cells, might protect the cells against irreversible damage by helping to conserve their ATP content. Reperfusion arrhythmias may be caused by the breakdown of this protective mechanism, in that, upon reperfusion, the Ca2+ slow channels may recover before the cells are capable of handling the greater Ca2+ influx (Fig. 20). As depicted in this figure, the Ca2+ slow channels may recover their function before the ATP level is sufficiently recovered to allow bail-out of the intracellular Ca2+. In addition, the generation of free radicals upon reperfusion may injure the Ca-ATPase and other enzymes involved in Ca2+ metabolism. The net effect of this would be to cause Ca2+ overload of the cells and SR, with subsequent delayed after-depolarizations (DADs) leading to triggered automaticity and arrhythmias. Following blockade of the fast Na+ channels in myocardial cells with TTX or by voltage-inactivating them in 25 mM (K)0, catecholamines, angiotensin-II, histamine, and methylxanthines rapidly allow the production of slowly-rising Ca2+-dependent action potentials by increasing the number of Ca2+ slow channels available for voltage activation and/or their mean open time. Concomitantly, these compounds rapidly elevate intracellular cyclic AMP levels, suggesting that cyclic AMP is somehow related to the functioning of the slow channels. Exogenous cyclic AMP produces the same effect, but much more slowly.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

We hypothesize that enhanced activity of capillary Na,K-ATPase promotes Na+ influx into the brain and causes early edema formation in focal cerebral ischemia. The pharmacologic suppression of brain capillary Na,K-ATPase as a means to ameliorate edema formation was examined using the middle cerebral artery occlusion model in 36 cats. With the help of a catheter inserted into the middle cerebral artery, the ischemic brain area was directly perfused with 10(-5) M ouabain. Perfusion was maintained as intermittent 15-second pulse injections given every 5 (n = 6) or 2 (n = 6) minutes. By this method, the naturally occurring circulatory conditions during ischemia were not altered. Four hours after ischemia, the cortical specific gravity at each of six locations over the ischemic area was compared with the corresponding ischemic blood flow measured by the H2 clearance technique. The results show that ouabain perfused every 2 minutes significantly ameliorated edema formation compared with six control cats perfused with Krebs-Ringer solution. In a separate series of experiments, the Na+ flux across the blood-brain barrier was studied by injecting 22NaCl together with an intravascular reference (cobalt-57-labeled microspheres 15 microns in diameter) into the ischemic area. The brain uptake index of 22Na was markedly increased in the ischemic cortex of six control cats; ouabain treatment in six cats suppressed the increase of Na+ influx. The results support our hypothesis that brain capillary Na,K-ATPase activity increases during early focal ischemia, leading to enhanced Na+ together with H2O flux across the blood-brain barrier.

Divalent cations are divided into two groups in relation to their ability to promote ATP synthase catalyzed reactions. In the presence of Mg2+, the following pattern rules: (i) uncoupler-stimulated ATP hydrolysis of Rhodospirillum rubrum chromatophores which shows an optimum concentration of the divalent cation; (ii) ATP-induced proton pumping in chromatophores; (iii) light-induced ATP synthesis in chromatophores; (iv) no or very low ATPase activity of purified F1-ATPase unmasked by diethylstilbestrol or n-octyl beta-D-glucopyranoside. In the presence of Ca2+, the following pattern occurs: (i) no stimulation of the ATP hydrolysis in chromatophores by carbonyl cyanide p-(trifluoromethoxy)phenylhydrazone; (ii) no ATP-induced proton pumping; (iii) no light-induced ATP synthesis; (iv) a high ATPase activity of the purified F1-ATPase which is inhibited by diethylstilbestrol and n-octyl beta-D-glucopyranoside. Co2+, Mn2+, and Zn2+ are members of the "Mg2+-group", whereas Cd2+ is suggested to fall between the two groups. Intrinsic uncoupling of the membrane-bound ATP synthase has been suggested to account for the effect caused by Ca2+ in chloroplasts [Pick, U., & Weiss, M. (1988) Eur. J. Biochem. 173, 623-628]. Such an interpretation is consistent with our results on chromatophores. The uncoupling cannot occur at the level of the membrane since neither light-induced nor Mg-ATP-induced proton pumping is affected by Ca2+. A conformational change is suggested to be the reason for this intrinsic uncoupling, and it is proposed to be controlled by the diameters of the divalent cations (Ca2+ greater than Cd2+ greater than Mn2+ greater than Co2+ greater than Zn2+ greater than Mg2+).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Rat incisor maturation ameloblasts were studied to determine the effect of injected cobalt on the distribution and intensity of Ca2+-Mg2+ ATPase. The dosage of cobalt utilized temporarily inhibits enamel mineralization and alters ameloblast-associated calcium. A modified Wachstein-Meisel medium containing cerium as the capturing ion was used to localize Ca2+-Mg2+ ATPase cytochemically. The distribution and intensity of the reaction product in normal maturation ameloblasts was, as previously reported, primarily in association with the plasma membranes. The lateral cell membranes of both smooth-ended and ruffle-ended ameloblasts were reactive. The ruffled border region contained the heaviest concentration of reaction product. Although cobalt did not alter the general pattern of distribution of the reaction product in either cell type, in all regions of activity the intensity was noticeably increased. Cells modulating from smooth-ended to ruffle-ended ameloblasts and under the influence of cobalt exhibited an irregular dense layer along the enamel surface, and large focal accumulations of electron-dense material in the various extracellular compartments. This may indicate interference with a putative resorptive activity of these cells.

The effect of extracellular calcium (Ca2+) on the cellular action of arginine vasopressin (AVP) was examined using an Na+, K+-ATPase inhibitor in rat renal papillary collecting tubule cells in culture. The pretreatment of cells with ouabain enhanced basal and AVP-induced cAMP production in a dose-dependent manner. The augmentation by ouabain of cellular cAMP production in response to AVP was totally abolished by co-treatment with cobalt, lanthanum, verapamil or Ca2+-free medium containing 1 mmol EGTA/l, each blocking cellular Ca2+ uptake by different mechanisms. Two other findings indicated that ouabain directly stimulated cellular Ca2+ mobilization; namely, that ouabain significantly increased 45Ca2+ influx and cellular free Ca2+ concentration [( Ca2+]i) determined by Fura-2 fluorescence. The ouabain-induced increase in [Ca2+]i was completely blocked by either cobalt or Ca2+-free medium containing 1 mmol EGTA/l. AVP at 0.1 mumol/l increased [Ca2+]i to 177.1 +/- 26.2 nmol/l from 92.2 +/- 8.0 nmol/l (P less than 0.01) in renal papillary collecting tubule cells, and ouabain significantly enhanced the AVP-induced increase in [Ca2+]i. The increase of cellular free Ca2+ induced by ouabain probably binds to calmodulin to form an active complex of Ca2+-calmodulin in the cell, since two chemically dissimilar antagonists of calmodulin attenuated the enhancement by ouabain of cAMP production in response to AVP. These results therefore indicate that ouabain increases cellular Ca2+ uptake and enhances AVP-induced cellular free Ca2+ mobilization and its own second messenger cAMP production in renal papillary collecting tubule cells, and that extracellular Ca2+ is an important source for ouabain-mobilized cellular Ca2+.

Purified membrane-bound Na,K-ATPase incubated with cobalt-tetrammine-ATP [Co(NH3)4ATP], which is a stable MgATP complex analog, shows two new types of membrane crystals, a new p21 form and a p4 form. The building blocks of the crystalline arrays correspond to (alpha beta)2 dimers of the enzyme protein suggesting that alpha-alpha interaction may be important in the pumping process.

This study concerns the properties of rapid K+ and Cl transport pathways that are present in the (H+ + K+)-ATPase membrane from stimulated, and secreting, gastric oxyntic cells. Ion permeabilities in the isolated stimulation-associated vesicles were monitored via the rates of H+ efflux under conditions of exclusive H+/K+ counterflux or H+ - Cl co-efflux, as well as by comparison of equilibration rates for 86Rb and 36Cl under conditions of equilibrium exchange and unidirectional salt flux. These latter studies suggest that Rb+ and Cl pathways are conductive and independent. In spite of the functional independence of the ion pathways, several divalent cations inhibit Rb+ and Cl isotopic exchange as well as the H+ efflux that is dependent on either K+ or anion (Cl, SCN, NO2) fluxes. Zn2+ is the more potent inhibitor, reducing by 50% the sensitive component of K+, Cl, and NO2 fluxes at about 20 microM; Mn2+ has a similar effect at 200 microM. Ni2+ and Co2+ were roughly equipotent to Mn2+ while Mg2+ and Ca2+ had no inhibitory effect. These results suggest that the stimulation-induced permeabilities, while functioning independently, may be physically linked, i.e., residing within a single entity. In similar studies carried out in (H+ + K+)-ATPase vesicles obtained from nonstimulated cells, no vestiges of sensitivity to the inhibitory divalent cations could be detected. The implications of these findings for the physiology of the oxyntic cell in the context of a model for membrane fusion are discussed.

The MgATP complex analogue cobalt-tetrammine-ATP [Co(NH3)4ATP] inactivates (Na+ + K+)-ATPase at 37 degrees C slowly in the absence of univalent cations. This inactivation occurs concomitantly with incorporation of radioactivity from [alpha-32P]Co(NH3)4ATP and from [gamma-32P]Co(NH3)4ATP into the alpha subunit. The kinetics of inactivation are consistent with the formation of a dissociable complex of Co(NH3)4ATP with the enzyme (E) followed by the phosphorylation of the enzyme: (Formula: see text). The dissociation constant of the enzyme-MgATP analogue complex at 37 degrees C is Kd = 500 microM, the inactivation rate constant k2 = 0.05 min-1. ATP protects the enzyme against the inactivation by Co(NH3)4ATP due to binding at a site from which it dissociates with a Kd of 360 microM. It is concluded, therefore, that Co(NH3)4ATP binds to the low-affinity ATP binding site of the E2 conformational state. K+, Na+ and Mg2+ protect the enzyme against the inactivation by Co(NH3)4ATP. Whilst Na+ or Mg2+ decrease the inactivation rate constant k2, K+ exerts its protective effect by increasing the dissociation constant of the enzyme.Co(NH3)4ATP complex. The Co(NH3)4ATP-inactivated (Na+ + K+)-ATPase, in contrast to the non-inactivated enzyme, incorporates [3H]ouabain. This indicates that the Co(NH3)4ATP-inactivated enzyme is stabilized in the E2 conformational state. Despite the inactivation of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase by Co(NH3)4ATP from the low-affinity ATP binding site, there is no change in the capacity of the high-affinity ATP binding site (Kd = 0.9 microM) nor of its capability to phosphorylate the enzyme Na+-dependently. Since (Na+ + K+)-ATPase is phosphorylated Na+-dependently from the high-affinity ATP binding site although the catalytic cycle is arrested in the E2 conformational state by specific modification of the low-affinity ATP binding site, it is concluded that both ATP binding sites coexist at the same time in the working sodium pump. This demonstration of interacting catalytic subunits in the E1 and E2 conformational states excludes the proposal that a single catalytic subunit catalyzes (Na+ + K+)-transport.

The characteristics of a glial Na+,K+-pump dependent on extracellular K+ within epileptogenic cortex were studied electrophysiologically, biochemically and histochemically in vitro using slices from cobalt-induced epileptogenic cortex of rat. When the extracellular K+ concentration ([K+]o) was varied between 4 and 40 mM, the mean slope of membrane potential plotted against [K+]o was about 57 mV in glia from the normal cortex (tissue A) and about 44 mV in glia from the epileptogenic cortex (tissue B); whereas no significant difference in the resting membrane potential of these tissues was observed. In glia from tissue B, a marked transient hyperpolarization above control level was caused by replacement of elevated [K+]o with the normal medium. Ouabain abolished these phenomena observed in glia from tissue B, but had no effect on the membrane potential during normal [K+]o. Reduction of extracellular Na+, Ca2+ and Cl- did not significantly affect the membrane potential of glia from either tissue. In tissue A, the cells marked by intracellular injection of horseradish peroxidase after intracellular recording were protoplasmic astrocytes; in tissue B, fibrous astrocytes with abnormal processes predominated. K+-dependent stimulation of Na+,K+-ATPase activity of the astrocyte-enriched fraction and its membrane preparation from tissue B was much larger than that from tissue A. A certain amount of the reaction product of K+-pNPPase activity was seen on glial plasma membrane within tissue B but not on that from tissue A. The above findings suggest that a glial Na+,K+-pump within actively firing epileptogenic cortex may be modified to increase in its activity.

1. Co2+ ions can replace Mg2+ ions as co-factors for the Na+-K+ pump purified from dog kidney outer medulla. The evidence comes from (a) measurement of ouabain-sensitive Na+,K+-ATPase activity, (b) measurement of ATP-dependent 22Na uptake catalysed by the Na+-K+ pump reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles, (c) measurements of phosphorylation of the Na+-K+ pump either in the presence of ATP and sodium ions or in the presence of inorganic phosphate, and (d) measurement of occlusion of rubidium ions through the route involving phosphorylation and dephosphorylation. 2. Purified Na+,K+-ATPase incubated in the presence of ATP, Na+ ions and [60Co]CoCl2, can carry occluded Co2+ ions through a cation-exchange resin. The enzyme fails to occlude the divalent cation (i) if ADP replaces ATP, (ii) if the enzyme is heat-inactivated, (iii) if the enzyme is inactivated by treatment with fluorescein isothiocyanate, (iv) if K+ replaces Na+ in the incubation medium, (v) if Na+ ions are omitted, and (vi) if Mg2+ ions are added in a sufficient concentration. 3. The amount of occluded Co2+ ions is unaffected by pre-treatment of the Na+,K+-ATPase with oligomycin, which stabilizes the phosphoenzyme in the E1P form. 4. The addition of K+ ions to Na+,K+-ATPase that has been phosphorylated in the presence of ATP, Na+ ions and [60Co]CoCl2 releases the occluded Co2+ ions from the enzyme. Under those conditions, K+ ions accelerate the hydrolysis of the phosphoenzyme, and become occluded in the resulting dephosphoenzyme. 5. The stoichiometry of Co2+ ion occlusion is about one occluded Co2+ ion per phosphorylation site. 6. These results support the hypothesis that, in the normal working of the Na+-K+ pump, Mg2+ ions are trapped in the phosphorylated forms of the enzyme, and are released by a K+-dependent dephosphorylation reaction.
