The specific activity of sodium-potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase in the mucosa of the colon rises when the dietary load of potassium is increased. The change in enzymatic activity depends on the presence of intact adrenal glands, since adrenalectomy abolishes the response of Na-K-ATPase to potassium loading. The increased secretory rate of aldosterone normally evoked by potassium loading appears to mediate at least in part of the effect of potassium loading, since aldosterone induces a discernible increase in the specific activity of Na-K-ATPase in the colon of adrenalectomized rats.

The effects of salinomycin on alkali cation transport and membrane functions in rat liver mitochondria have been investigated. After potassium uptake, stimulated by valinomycin or monazomycin in the presence of adenosine 5'-triphosphate, salinomycin caused rapid release of K(+) from mitochondria. Salinomycin reversed valinomycin- or monazomycin-induced oscillatory swelling of mitochondria preloaded with K(+), Rb(+), and Na(+) but was without effect on Li(+) or Cs(+) preloaded mitochondria. Salinomycin blocked the retention of K(+) more effectively than the retention of Rb(+) or Na(+). Salinomycin inhibited both coupled and uncoupled respiration with strict substrate specificity in medium of low but not in high K(+) concentration. The oxidation of glutamate, alpha-ketoglutarate, and malate plus pyruvate was inhibited by salinomycin, but that of beta-hydroxybutyrate or succinate was not significantly affected. Salinomycin inhibited adenosine triphosphatase activity of mitochondria induced by valinomycin or monazomycin in K(+) and Rb(+) medium without significantly affecting adenosine triphosphatase activity in Li(+), Na(+), or Cs(+) medium. Oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria was inhibited by salinomycin but the inhibitory effect of salinomycin lacked the substrate specificity observed for respiration. It is proposed that salinomycin perturbs mitochondrial functions by acting as a mobile carrier for alkali cations through membranes.

Sodium- and potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase (NaK-ATPase) was purified from nasal salt glands of the duck (Anas platyrhynchos). Enzyme of specific activity 2,000 to 2,300 mumol of Pi/mg/hour was routinely obtained by sodium dodecyl sulfate treatment of a microsomal fraction of gland homogenate in the presence of 3 mM ATP followed by pelleting of the enzyme through a sucrose density gradient. Purified NaK-ATPase was stable for over 3 months at -20 degree. By sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel filtration chromatography purified NaK-ATPase was shown to contain two polypeptide chains of molecular weight 94,000 and 60,000, the smaller of which was a glycoprotein. Purified enzyme of activity 2,300 mumol of Pi/mg/hour bound 3,600 pmol of ouabain/mg of enzyme protein. Reaction with [gamma-32P]ATP in the presence of Mg2+ and Na+ gave 7,025 pmol of acyl phosphate/mg of enzyme protein. The turnover number calculated from phosphorylation data was 5,460 min-1. Amino acid analysis of the polypeptide components of duck salt gland enzyme after separation by gel filtration chromatography in sodium dodecyl sulfate demonstrated strong compositional homology with highly purified NaK-ATPase preparations from other organs and species. The NH2-terminal amino acid of the 94,000-dalton component was glycine and of the 60,000-dalton component, alanine. With a combination of manual sequencing and automated Edman degradation, the NH2-terminal amino acid sequence of the 94,00-dalton catalytic subunit was found to be Gly-Arg-Asn-Lys-Tyr-Glu-Thr-Thr-Ala-()-Ser-Glu.

The synthesis of a 3beta-thiocyanatocardenolide is described. The compound exhibited about 0.1 times the cardiotonic effect of digitoxyigenin in the isolated frog heart preparation. At a dosage of 20 mg/kg in the intact rat, it elicited ECG changes similar to those seen with a 10-mg/kg dose of digitoxigenin. Studies also revealed the new cardenolide to be a reversible inhibitor of sodium- and potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase.

Analysis of sodium-22 binding to purified sodium + potassium ion-activated adenosine triphosphatase (Na+, K+)-ATPase reveals the presence of two classes of binding sites. The higher affinity site (Kd = 0.2 mM) binds 6 to 7 nmol of sodium per mg of protein. Pretreatment of (Na+, K+)-ATPase with ouabain blocks the binding of sodium to this higher affinity site. Neither heat-denatured enzyme nor phospholipids extracted from the (Na+, K+)-ATPase contain a ouabain-inhibitable, higher affinity sodium binding site. The ouabain enzyme complex therefore appears to contain altered binding sites for cations.

Studies conducted into the activity of adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) in homogenate of several tissues of sheep and against the background of pH 7.5 (tris-HCl buffer) have shown highest enzyme activity to develop in renal cortex and cerebral cortex followed, in declining order of quotation, by liver, myocardium, and mucous membrane of small intestine. ATPase activities were studied also in the presence of pH-values between 7.2 and 8.95 (tris-HCl buffer) and between 8.6 and 11 (piperazine buffer), with the pH optimum of ATPase in the above tissues having been found to lie at approximately 9.0. Different concentrations of Mg ions were added, and maximum ATPase activity of 2 mMol ATP was obtained by adding 2 mMol Mg. Decline in ATPase activity should be expected in the case of hypomagnesaemia. Addition of different concentrations of sodium and potassium ions gave in most of the tissues tested maximum activity in response to 10 mMol potassium and 68 mMol sodium. Na-K ATPase could be inhibited by oubain particularly in cerebral and renal cortex.

The purpose of this study was to measure uptake of tritiated digoxin by neoplastic tissues known to have differential contents of sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (Na + K + ATPase), the presumed receptor for digoxin. Tumor samples were removed at the time of craniotomy in seven patients with meningiomas (Group 1) and seven patients with more malignant central nervous system tumors (Group 2) (three astrocytomas, three glioblastomas, one meduloblastoma). Patients with meningiomas were found to have a significantly higher digoxin uptake (21.8 +/- 7.3 ng/gm tumor versus 5.7 +/- 5.2 ng/gm tumor; (p less than 0.01) and a significantly greater tissue/serum ratio (13.9 +/- 11.7 versus 3.26 +/- 3.7, p less than 0.0). This study provides the first demonstration of increased uptake of digoxin by noncardiac pathologic tissues. The results are most likely due to differences in the number of digoxin receptor sites.

The relative effectiveness of the ligands Mg2+, Na+, and ATP in preparing sodium plus potassium ion transport adenosine triphosphatase for phosphorylation was studied by means of a rapid mixing apparatus. Addition of 2 mM MgC12, 120 mM NaC1, and 5 muM [gamma-32P]ATP simultaneously to the free enzyme gave an initial phosphorylation rate of about 0.3 mu mol-mg-1-min-1 at 25 degrees and pH7.4. Addition of Mg2+ to the enzyme beforehand, separately or in combination with Na+ or ATP, had little effect on the initial rate. Addition of Na+ only to the enzyme beforehand increased this rate 1.5- to 3-fold. Early addition of ATP 130 ms before Na+ plus Mg2+ increased the rate 6- to 7-fold. Early addition of Na+ plus ATP was most effective; it increased the rate about 10-fold. The data indicate that Na+ and ATP bind in a random order and that each ligand potentiates the effect of the other. The rate of dissociation of ATP from the enzyme was estimated by a chase of unlabeled ATP of variable duration. This rate was slowest in the presence of Mg2+ (k = 540 min-1), most rapid in the presence of Na+ (k = 2000 min-1), and intermediate (k = 1100 min-1) in the absence of metal ions. The effect of Na+ concentration on the rate of phosphorylation was estimated when Na+ with Mg2+ was added to the enzyme-ATP complex. The rate followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics with a maximum of 2.9 mu mol-mg-1 and a Km of 8 mM. The effect of Na+ concentration was also estimated on the increment in the rate of phosphorylation produced by the presence of Na+ with the enzyme-ATP complex beforehand. The increment followed the same kinetics with a maximum of 3.75 mu mol-mg-1-min-1 and a Km of 5.4 mM. In both cases estimation of the Hill coefficient failed to show cooperativity between binding sites for Na+. In contrast, the dependence of ouabain-sensitive ATPase activity on Na+ concentration in the absence of K+ indicated two sites for Na+ with apparent Km values of 0.16 and 8.1 mM, respectively.

Antisera against each of the two major subunits of detergent-solubilized electroplax (sodium plus potassium)-activated adenosine triphosphatase from Electrophorus electricus were prepared. Antiserum against the small subunit (a glycoprotein, Mr = 58,000) partially inhibits [3H]ouabain binding to the enzyme, but does not interfere with the phosphorylation of enzyme. Conversely, antiserum against the large subunit (the catalytic subunit Mr = 96,000) partially inhibits phosphorylation of the enzyme, but does not interfere with the binding of [3H]ouabain to the enzyme. Since ouabain only interacts with enzyme from the outer surface of the membrane and phosphorylation of enzyme takes place on the inner surface of the membrane, the results suggest that the small subunits are exposed on the outer surface of the membrane, whereas the large subunits are oriented predominantely facing the cytoplasmic side.

The synthesis of a 3beta-thioacetylcardenolide is described. The thioacetate exhibited effects similar to those seen with digitoxigenin acetate on the isolated frog and guinea pig hearts at 1 X 10(-7) dilution. In the intact rat heart, the lethal dose was 5 mg/kg for the thioacetate and 2.5 mg/kg for digitoxigenin acetate. The thioacetate inhibited sodium- and potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase to the same extent as digitoxigenin, but it was somewhat less inhibitory than digitoxigenin acetate.
