In rat cecal mucosa, Na-K-ATPase specific activity and sodium and fluid absorption were increased by giving polyethylene glycol administration with the drinking water. Whereas cyclic AMP levels were unchanged, cyclic GMP was reduced by about 50%. This finding suggests a regulatory role of cyclic GMP in intestinal sodium and fluid absorption.

Na-K-ATPase activity and renal function were compared in rats studied after relief of 24 h of unilateral or bilateral ureteral ligation (UUL or BUL), that is, in the absence or presence of post-obstructive diuresis. Na-K-ATPase activity in the outer medulla of the rat kidney after relief of UUL was not significantly altered immediately but was markedly reduced 1 and 3 days post-obstruction. The decrease in medullary Na-K-ATPase activity was not significantly different from that observed after relief of BUL. These results indicate that decreased Na-K-ATPase activity in the post-obstructive kidney is not responsible for post-obstructive diuresis and is not due to uremia, but is a local phenomenon which is probably secondary to altered renal structure or function. It may be due to decreased filtered sodium load or direct tubular damage, but other data suggests that the decreased medullary solute concentration gradient in the post-obstructive kidney (UUL or BUL) may influence Na-K-ATPase activity which, in turn, contributes to the decreased ability to conserve sodium and water.

Fresh water teleost fish, Channa gachua, were chronically exposed to various sublethal concentrations of endosulfan (0.00534, 0.00355, 0.00213 and 0.00174 mg/1) at 25 +/- 4 degrees C for 30 and 60 days respectively. The study shows enzyme inhibitions, greatest in oligomycin-insensitive Mg2+ ATPase in brain, gill and liver tissues, with pronounced effects at highest endosulfan concentration for 60 days exposure. However, in kidney the highest inhibition was of oligomycin-sensitive (mitochondrial) Mg2+ ATPase. The study indicates that endosulfan interferes with energy metabolism in vivo. The marked sensitivity of mitochondrial Mg2+ ATPase to endosulfan is suggestive of the potential for endosulfan to interfere markedly with various energy requiring processes in the fish body.

Na,K-ATPase in rat livers was localized cytochemically at the ultrastructural level. The Ernst technique, a method using p-nitrophenylphosphate (pNPP) substrate, was used to demonstrate ouabain-sensitive, K-dependent phosphatase, an enzyme of the Na,K-ATPase reaction sequence. Reaction product was localized predominantly on the sinusoidal and non-bile canalicular (intercellular) surfaces. This localization contrasts with previous histo-chemical studies using ATP substrate and with models that have considered the transport enzyme to be localized at the canalicular surface. If Na,K-ATPase is of importance in bile salt independent flow, a significant presence of the enzyme at sites other than the canalicular membrane suggests that a paracellular movement of sodium and water into the canaliculus must be considered.

A technique for isolation of large amounts of homogeneous Na+, K+-ATPase lipid-protein complex from pig kindney has been developed. The purity of the preparation as determined by the protein component is 96-98%, the large to small subparticle ratio being 4 : 1. The protein and lipid parts of the preparation have approximately the same mass. The enzyme activity is 1600-1900 mcmoles of inorganic phosphate released per mg of protein per hour. The protein secondary structure in a heavy water solution has been studied by infrared spectroscopy in the region of the main amide bands. It has been shown that about 20% of the peptide groups form highly ordered alpha-helical regions and about 25% are found in the pleated sheet structure with an antiparallel packing of the chains. The regions with a regular structure are mainly located in the protein component regions, inaccessible for water and are presumably involved in the formation of the hydrophobic core of the molecule. The major part of the protein structure (approximately 55%) is non-ordered and is easily accessible for water molecules.

Phytohemagglutinin (PHA) or concanavalin A treatment of lymphocytes causes an increase in membrane permeability so that the leak rates of Na and K increase 1.5- to 2-fold. Active Na and K transport increase proportionately in response to the increased membrane permeability. We have examined the role of lymphocyte Na concentration in sustaining the increased Na and K transport observed after PHA treatment. Cell Na concentration increases from 14.8 to 20.5 mmol/liter cell water in PHA-treated lymphocytes (P < 0.001). Four lines of evidence suggest that the 5-6 mmol/liter cell water increase in lymphocyte Na accounts for the increase in active Na and K transport in mitogen-treated lymphocytes. First, PHA does not increase directly the maximal Na, K-ATPase activity of isolated lymphocyte membrane vesicles. Second, when the Na concentration is increased by 6 mmol/liter cell water in unstimulated lymphocytes, Na and K transport increase nearly twofold. Third, the cell Na concentration (15 mmol/liter cell water) is near the K(m) for Na activation of the Na, K-ATPase in lymphocyte membranes. The ATPase activity thus, is capable of increasing as the cell Na rises above normal. Fourth, if lymphocytes are incubated in a medium containing a low Na concentration, K transport does not maintain the internal K concentration and the fall in cell K is accentuated in PHA-treated lymphocytes. These studies indicate that the adaptive acceleration of Na and K transport in mitogen-treated lymphocytes is mediated by a small increase in cell Na.

A scheme of oxidative phosphorylation is suggested according to which at the first stage due to the functioning of the electron-transport chain (ETC) in the points of coupling during relaxation of protein non-equilibrium conformation thermodynamically unfavourable transfer of H+ from H2O into the membrane takes place. Athe 2nd stage H+memb is carried by lipids from ETC-protein to ATP-synthetase. At the 3rd stage ATPase with ATP already contained in the active center seizes 2H+. In the course of subsequent protein relaxation the ATP interaction with the active center is disturbed, and ATP with protons transfers to H2O. In terms of the scheme proposed it proves possible to explain the respiratory control and formation of transmembrane potential difference, as well as the action mechanism of uncouplers and inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation.

Distribution of Na+K+-ATPase (EC. 3.6.1.3) and its susceptibility to noradrenaline (NA) were studied on electronmicroscopically characterized subcellular fractions of rat brain cortex. The highest specific activity of NaK+-ATPase was present in synaptosomal fraction disrupted in distilled water (29.52 +/- 5.53 mumoles phosphate/mg protein/hour). In the presence of 1 mM EGTA significantly higher specific activity was determined in all fractions studied, except homogenate and synaptosome. The effect of NA was studied in concentration range from 10(-6)--10(-3) M. 10(-4) M of NA produced the highest activation of the enzyme in different fractions. Also in the presence of EGTA NA was able to increase the enzyme activity. The effect of NA was much more marked on disrupted synaptosomal fraction. No qualitative differences have been found between the Na+K+-ATPase activities exhibited by the synaptosomal fraction and by other subcellular fractions with respect to susceptibility to NA. Therefore, it seems very probable that NA might modulate neurochemical transmission not only via an effect on nerve terminals but also via stimulating other part of the neuron.

The interactions of gadolinium ion, lithium, and two substrate analogues, beta,gamma-imido-ATP (AMP-PNP) and tridentate CrATP, with the calcium ion transport adenosine triphosphatase (Ca2+-ATPase) of rabbit muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum have been examined by using 7Li+ NMR, water proton NMR, and Gd3+ EPR studies. Steady-state phosphorylation studies indicate that Gd3+ binds to the Ca2+ activator sites on the enzyme with an affinity which is approximately 10 times greater than that of Ca2+. 7Li+, which activates the Ca2+-ATPase in place of K+, has been found to be a suitable nucleus for probing the active sites of monovalent cation-requiring enzymes. 7Li+ nuclear relaxation studies demonstrate that the binding of Gd3+ ion to the two Ca2+ sites on Ca2+-ATPase increases the longitudinal relaxation rate (1/T1) of enzyme-bound Li+. The increase in 1/T1 was not observed in the absence of enzyme, indicating that the ATPase enhances the parmagnetic effect of Gd3+ on 1/T1 of 7Li+. Water proton relaxation studies also show that the ATPase binds Gd3+ at two tight-binding sites. Titrations of Gd3+ solutions with Ca2+-ATPase indicate that the tighter of the two Gd3+-binding sites (site 1) provides a ghigher enhancement of water relaxation than the other, weaker Gd3+ site (site 2) and also indicate that the average of the enhancements at the two sites is 7.4. These data, together with a titration of the ATPase with Gd3+ ion, yield enhancements, epsilonB, of 9.4 at site 1 and 5.4 at site 2. Analysis of the frequency dependence of 1/T1 of water indicates that the electron spin relaxation taus of Gd3+ is unusually long (2 X 10(-9) s) and suggests that the Ca2+-binding sites on the ATPase experience a reduced accessiblity of solvent water. This may indicate that the Ca2+ sites on the Ca2+-ATPase are buried or occluded within a cleft or channel in the enzyme. The analysis of the frequency dependence is also consistent with three exchangeable water protons on Gd3+ at site 1 and two fast exchanging water protons at site 2. Addition of the nonhydrolyzing substrate analogues, AMP-PNP and tridenate CrATP, to the enzyme-Gd3+ complex results in a decrease in the observed enhancement, with little change in the dipolar correlation time for Gd3+, consistent with a substrate-induced decrease in the number of fast-exchanging water protons on enzyme-bound Gd3+. From the effect of Gd3+ on 1/T1 of enzyme-bound Li+, Gd3+-Li+ separations of 7.0 and 9.1 A are calculated. On the assumption of a single Li+ site on the enzyme, these distances set an upper limit on the separation between Ca2+ sites on the enzyme of 16.1 A.

The dependence of Na,K-ATPase activity on concentrations of ATP, Na+, K+, Mg2+ and ouabain in the membrane preparations of crab gills was studied. The first group of crabs was adapted to freshened (25%) and the second one--to normal (100%) sea water. A 40-day adaptation of crabs to the freshened sea water results in an increase of maximal activity of Na,K-ATPase, but does not affect the enzyme affinity for ATP, Na+, K+, Mg2+ and ouabain, as well as its cooperative properties. It is assumed that adaptation of crabs to freshened sea water is accompanied by an accumulation of Na, K-ATPase in the epithelial cell membranes or crab gills without causing any qualitative changes of the enzyme.
