Li+, K+, and Rb+ are compared as activators of the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenylphosphate by beef brain (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. Previous experiments have established two classes of K+ binding sites that are involved in this reaction: "catalytic sites" have the higher affinity, their occupation is essential for catalytic activity, and they appear to correspond to the extracellular binding sites for active K+ transport; regulatory sites appear to have an allosteric function to "unmask" the catalytic sites. A separate set of Na+-binding regulatory sites bring about a similar unmasking of catalytic sites under phosphorylating conditions. Rb+ can activate p-nitrophenylphosphate hydrolysis both in the presence and absence of Na+ and, thus, can interact effectively with both K+ regulatory and catalytic sites. Li+ does not activate p-nitrophenylphosphate hydrolysis at 25 degrees C in the absence of other monovalent ligands. Li+ does activate when the catalytic sites are exposed by Na+ + ATP. Thus, K+ regulatory and catalytic sites differ in their cation selectivity. At temperatures less than 25 degrees C Li+ is able to activate the phosphatase reaction in the absence of other monovalent ligands: maximum activity occurs at 10-12 degrees C. A plot of the ratio, Li+ activation/K+ activation, as a function of temperature shows that the allosteric transition that unmasks catalytic sites occurs spontaneously with decreasing temperatures.

Some characteristics of the protein kinase activity associated with a synaptosomal plasma membrane (synaptic membrane) fraction and a synaptic junction fraction have been compared. Autoradiography of the phosphorylated fractions separated on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gels showed that cyclic AMP stimulates the phosphorylation of five polypeptides in synaptic membranes, whereas no cyclic AMP dependency could be detected in synaptic junctions. Kinetic studies demonstrated that synaptic junctions contain a high Km and a low Km protein kinase activity while only the high Km activity could be detected in synaptic membranes. The intrinsic ATPase activity of synaptic membranes was shown to strongly interfere with measurements of protein kinase activity. Cyclic AMP binding experiments revealed a 2.6-fold enrichment of cyclic AMP binding capacity in synaptic junctions as compared to synaptic membranes. Protein phosphatase activity was not detected in synaptic junctions but was associated with synaptic membranes, where cyclic AMP was shown to either stimulate or inhibit the dephosphorylation of different polypeptides.

The distribution of carbonic anhydrase, K+-ATPase and K+-phosphatase in the subcellular fractions of gastric mucosa was studied. It was found that 90% of carbonic anhydrase are localized in the hyaloplasm, whereas K+-ATPase and K+-phosphatase are predominantly localized in the microsomal fraction. Subfractionation of the microsomal fraction in a sucrose density gradient showed that the membrane-bound carbonic anhydrase (5% of total content) and K+-ATPase are bound to various cell organelles. It is concluded that carbonic anhydrase functions as an intracellular pH-stat and is not directly involved in proton generation by the cell.

Activities related to Na-K transport were measured in cell cultures of ground squirrel kidney cortex in order to compare these cells with those of intact kidney and of continuous cell lines. A microsomal preparation containing plasma membrane Na,K-ATPase from fresh kidney showed twice the activity of a similar preparation from 72-hour cultured cells. Na,K-ATPase of homogenates of 72-hour cells showed one-third to one-fourth the specific activity of that from 6-hour cultured cells. The associated K-dependent phosphatase activity also declined as a function of time in culture. The ouabain-sensitive influx of K into 6-hour cultured cells was twice as great as the K influx into 72-hour cells. The number of sites binding 3H-ouabain in intact cultured cells declined 81% on a cell protein basis between 6 and 72 hours in culture. This decline in ouabain binding sites was relatively greater than that of K influx, so that the K turnover number increased over this same time period. The decline in ouabain-sensitive K influx during culture was complementary to an increase in furosemide-sensitive K influx. Measurements of unidirectional and net K fluxes showed that there were three components of K influx into 3-day cultured cells: ouabain-sensitive Na:K exchange, furosemide-sensitive K:K exchange, and K diffusion. In the 6-hour cultures, however, there was no furosemide-sensitive K:K exchange. Thus, after three days in culture ground squirrel kidney cells lose a feature characteristic of the original parent cells (high Na,K-ATPase activity), and gain a feature common to many undifferentiated cultured cells (furosemide-sensitive K:K exchange).

Enzymatically inactive, delipidated Na,K-ATPase from dogfish rectal glands was titrated with dioleoylphosphatidylcholine and with dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine. The process of relipidation has the following characteristic properties. Enzymatic activities reappear independently of each other: first the phosphatase, then the ATPase. The properties of the phosphatase regenerated depend on the ratio of lipid/protein used; the ATPase seems to be independent of this ratio. The simplest model that is consistent with the above results and with the shapes of the titration curves, has the following requirements. Firstly, the enzyme is composed of two subunits that, as far as lipid binding is concerned, are identical and independent of each other. Secondly, lipid adds onto the enzyme as preformed clumps of 25 molecules of phosphatidylcholine or 18 molecules of phosphatidylethanolamine. Thirdly, each subunit binds two clumps of lipid, and binding shows positive cooperativity. Fourthly, when either subunit becomes saturated with lipid, the enzyme exhibits one form of phosphatase. Fifthly, when both subunits are saturated with lipid, the enzyme exhibits a second form of phosphatase and ATPase. The data and their analysis according to this model lead to the suggestion that Na,K-ATPase is a functional dimer, the interaction between subunits being influenced by the Na+ and K+ concentrations in the medium: K+ favouring the functional independence of the subunits and Na+ favouring their functional interaction.

Previous studies have shown that in the ouabain-exposed rabbit heart, although positive inotropy and inhibition of (Na+ + K+)-dependent adenosine triphosphatase are induced concomitantly, the extent of inhibition of the enzyme remains constant when positive inotropy is washed out; and in the dog heart, if positive inotropy without arrhythmias is induced by ouabain, inhibition of the enzyme is not detected. The purpose of this work was the re-evaluation of these previous findings. Rapid recovery of the enzyme from small tissue samples was achieved by homogenization in 1 M KCl and centrifugation. When the enzyme was prepared by this method from ouabain-exposed rabbit and dog hearts, ouabain remained bound to the enzyme. The extent of inhibition of the enzyme was measured by the fluorimetric assay of K+-dependent 3-O-methylfluorescein phosphatase before and after removal of bound ouabain. Correlation between the extent of inhibition of this activity and that of (Na+ + K+)-dependent adenosine triphosphatase activity was established. Utilizing these refined methods, the following results were obtained. In the rabbit heart, positive inotropy and enzyme inhibition occurred concomitantly. Washout of the effect resulted in partial reactivation of the enzyme. In the dog heart, the previous findings were confirmed. The results are not inconsistent with the hypothesis that enzyme inhibition is the cause of the positive inotropic effects. They do suggest, however, the need for further testing of the hypothesis.

Intact spermatozoa from rat cauda epididymis possess a Mg2+-dependent ATPase activity that hydrolyses externally added [gamma-32P]ATP. The ATPase reaction was linear with time for approx. 6 min and there was no detectable uptake of ATP by these cells. The ATPase activity of the whole spermatozoa was not due to leakage of the intracellular enzymic activity, contamination of the broken cells or any possible cell damage during incubation and isolation of spermatozoa. The activity of the enzyme was strongly inhibited (approx. 85%) by p-chloromercuribenzenesulphonic acid (50 microM) or the diazonium salt of sulphanilic acid (50 microM), which are believed not to enter the cells, whereas ouabain (0.5 mM), NaF (10 mM), NaN3 (2.5 mM) and oligomycin (5 microM) had no appreciable effect on the activity of the spermatozoal APTase. There was little loss of ATPase activity from the cells when washed with 0.5 mM-EDTA and an iso-osmotic or hyperosmotic medium. These data are consistent with the view that the observed ATPase activity is located on the external surface of spermatozoa. The sperm ecto-ATPase activity is resistant to the action of proteinases (50 micrograms/ml), namely trypsin, chymotrypsin and Pronase. Studies with various unlabelled phosphate esters indicate that the sperm ecto-ATPase is not a non-specific phosphatase and it has high degree of substrate specificity for ATP.

1. (Na+ + K+)-ATPase from homeotherms and poikilotherms demonstrate non-linear thermal dependence for ATP hydrolysis. Apparent energies of activation from crab nerve preparations are less than those of brain or kidney preparations from beef, rabbit, sheep or ground squirrel. 2. Crab nerve (Na+ + K+)-ATPase is less sensitive to inhibition by ouabain than that from beef or ground squirrel; lower rates of [3H]-ouabain binding and reduced amount of drug bound at equilibrium are found. 3. K+-activated acyl-phosphatase is similar in all preparations. 4. Fluorescence polarization of 12-AS labelled membranes demonstrate greater mobility of crab nerve lipids compared to beef brain which has a thermal transition at 20-25 degrees C. Crab nerve is linear in this range.

K+ interactions with a rat brain (Na+ + K+)-dependent ATPase and the associated K+-dependent nitrophenyl phosphatase activity were examined. Classes of sites for K+ were distinguished, initially, on the basis of affinity estimated by kinetic analysis in terms of KO.5 (the concentration for half-maximal activation), and by K+-accelerated enzyme inactivation by F-minus, which permits evaluation of a dissociation constant for K+, KD. Moderate-affinity sites ("alpha sites"), with a KD near 1 mM, were demonstrable for the phosphatase activity and for the "free" enzyme. High-affinity sites ("beta sites"), with a KD near 0.1 mM, were seen for the overall ATPase activity and under conditions in which enzyme phosphorylation by substrate also occurs. Further differentiation between alpha and beta sites was made in terms of (i) the characteristic changes in affinity with pH, and (ii) the efficacy of Li+ relative to K+, Rb+, Cs+, and Tl+ at these two classes of sites. Low-affinity sites ("gamma sites") through which K+ inhibits enzymatic activity were also detectable, with a KD around 140 mM. These data are incorporated into a model for the reaction sequence to accommodate both transport processes and certain K+/ATP antagonisms.

K+ appears to decrease the affinity of the (Na+ + K+)-dependent ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) for its substrate, Mg2+ - ATP, and Mg2+ - ATP, in turn, appears to decrease the affinity of the enzyme for K+. These antagonisms have been investigated in terms of a quantitative model defining the magnitude of the effects as well as identifying the class of K+ sites on the enzyme involved. K+ increased the apparent Km for Mg2+ - ATP, an effect that was antagonized competitively by Na+. The data can be fitted to a model in which Mg2+ - ATP binding is prevented by occupancy of alpha-sites on the enzyme by K+ (i.e. sites of moderate affinity for K+ accessible on the "free" non-phosphorylated enzyme, in situ on the external membrane surface). By contrast, occupancy of these alpha-sites by Na+ has no effect on Mg2+ - ATP binding to the enzyme. On the other hand, Mg2+ - ATP decreased the apparent affinity of the enzyme for K+ at the alpha-sites, in terms of (i) the KD for K+ measured by K+-accelerated inactivation of the enzyme by F-, and (ii) the concentration of K+ for half-maximal activation of the K+-dependent phosphatase reaction (which reflects the terminal hydrolytic steps of the overall ATPase reaction). These data fit the same quantitative model. Although this formulation does not support schemes in which ATP binding effects the release of transported K+ from discharge sites, it is consistent with observations that K+ can inhibit the enzyme at low substrate concentrations, and that Li+, which has poor efficacy when occupying these alpha-sites, can stimulate enzymatic activity at high K+ concentrations by displacing the inhibitory K+.
