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.

Purified (Na+, K+)-activated adenosine triphosphatase ((Na+, K+)-ATPase, ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) has been subjected to trypsin and chymotrypsin hydrolysis. The glycoprotein is much more resistant to proteolysis than the large chain. This differential susceptibility to proteolysis is not due to differences in the number of trypsin or chymotrypsin sensitive bonds because the two subunits are equally susceptible to proteolysis after isolation by preparative gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate. It is also not due to steric "shielding" of the glycoprotein by the large chain or its proteolytic products: (1) The rate of digestion of the glycoprotein is not increased after 90% of the large chain is digested. (2) The majority of the large chain peptides are released into the supernatant upon degradation. It is concluded that the greater resistance of the glycoprotein to proteolysis is due to its native conformation. In the absence of the large chain, the susceptibility of the glycoprotein to tryptic degradation by K+ and Na+. The evidence suggests that this decreased susceptibility was due to conformational changes in the glycoprotein. These specific ligand effects on proteolysis of the glycoprotein suggests that the glycoprotein may participate in Na+ and K+ binding by (Na+, K+)-ATPase.

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.

1. The distributions of several enzymes and other marker components were examined after zonal centrifugations of whole homogenates from glucose-repressed Saccharomyces cerevisiae on sucrose and iso-osmotic Ficoll, and the composition and morphology of the fractions were investigated. 2. After high-speed zonal centrifugation most of the protein, acid and alkaline phosphatases, alkaline pyrophosphatase, adenosine monophosphatase, beta-fructofuranosidase, alpha-mannosidase, NADPH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase and an appreciable amount of phospholipid and sterol were non-sedimentable, i.e. were at densities below 1.09 (g/cm3). Most of the RNA was at p=1.06-1.08 in Ficoll and at p=1.09-1.11 in sucrose. 3. The bulk of the Mg2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (Mg-ATPase) was coincident with the main peak of phospholipid and sterol, at median density 1.10, which was also rich in smooth-membrane vesicles. In Ficoll, a minor peak of phospholipid and sterol at p-1.12-1.15 contained a smaller part of the oligomycin-insensitive Mg-ATPase and heavy membrane fragments. In sucrose, several minor peaks of Mg-ATPase were in the mitochondrial density range, and a peak of oligomycin-insensitive Mg-ATPase coincident with a minor peak of phospholipid and sterol at around p-1.25 contained heavy membrane fragments of high carbohydrate content, especially mannose. 4. Further purification of the oligomycin-insensitive Mg-ATPase containing membrane preparations was performed on Urografin gradients. 5. It is argued that the oligomycin-insensitive Mg-ATPase containing membranes are fragments of the plasma membrane, but have different densities because they contain different amounts of glycoprotein particles.

Ca2+-adenosine triphosphatase from sarcoplasmic reticulum has been delipidated by gel filtration through a Sephadex G-200 column equilibrated with buffer containing cholate. The delipidated Ca2+-adenosine triphosphatase had negligible adenosine triphosphatase activity, but up to 50% of the ATPase activity was restored when the delipidated enzyme was recombined with phosphilipids. It was shown with the delipidated preparation that the phosphorylation of the enzyme by either ATP or Pi was entirely dependent on phospholipids. Among the purified phospholipids, phosphatidylcholine reactivated the adenosine triphosphatase activity better than phosphatidylethanolamine. Vesicles capable of translocating Ca2+ were reconstituted from delipidated Ca2+-adenosine triphosphatase and phosphatidylethanolamine, but not with phosphatidylcholine alone. We conclude that the firmly bound phospholipids which are purified together with the adenosine triphosphatase protein are not essential for the pump since they can be substituted by phosphatidylethanolamine isolated from soybeans.

The present report deals with the histo-enzymological mapping of adenosine triphosphatase and simple esterase in the diencephalon and mesencephalon of Uromastix hardwickii. The enzymatic make-up, in both cases, does not differ markedly in the various nuclei; few variations, of course, occur in some midbrain areas like pretectal nuclei. The latter are intensely positive for ATPase, while these nuclei are moderate to simple esterase. Nevertheless, one of the most interesting results pertaining to simple esterase activity is of a high order in the fiber tracts in comparison to ATPase. The other interesting feature relates to the fact that generally intensely positive nuclei, in ATPase preparations, are those which have extensive efferent fibres. The metabolic significance of high degree of ATPase activity vis-a-vis extensive efferent connections has been exhaustively discussed, besides the possible significance of the general data obtained.

1. The activities of some membrane-bound enzymes such as adenylate cyclase, Na+ + K+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase (Na+ + K+-ATPase), Ca2+-stimulated ATPase and Mg2+-stimulated ATPase were examined in heart sarcolemmal fractions from control and cardiomyopathic hamsters at different stages of heart failure. 2. The basal adenylate cyclase activity in sarcolemma from cardiomyopathic animals with early, moderate and late stages of heart failure was not different from the control values whereas the sodium fluoride- and catecholamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase activities were depressed in cardiomyopathic sarcolemma at moderate and late stages. 3. The sarcolemmal Na+ + K+-ATPase activity was decreased and the non-specific phosphatase activity was increased at early, moderate and late stages of heart failure. 4. The sarcolemmal Ca2+-ATPase activity was decreased at moderate and late stages whereas the Mg2+-ATPase activity was decreased at the late stages of heart failure only. 5. A marked decrease was found in calcium binding by heart sarcolemma from cardiomyopathic hamsters at late stages of failure. 6. These results suggest that dramatic sarcolemmal changes are associated with heart failure, and support the view that membrane abnormalities play a crucial role in the development of myocardial dysfunction, cyclase, calcium binding, heart failure, heart membranes, sarcolemmal enzymes.

Several distinct transport mechanisms responsible for sodium reabsorption by the rat kidney can be identified by studying the function of isolated perfused kidneys. Approximately one-half of the fractional sodium reabsorption by the isolated perfused rat kidney appears to depend on Na-K-adenosine triphosphatase (AT-Pase) and is inhibited by ouabain. About 10 to 20% is associated with the reabsorption of bicarbonate and is blocked by acetazolamide. This fraction of transported sodium is unaffected by ouabain and therefore does not involve Na-K-ATPase. Neither furosemide nor ethacrynic acid produce further inhibition of sodium reabsorption in a kidney already exposed to ouabain and acetazolamide. Most of the residual transport of sodium is inhibited by cooling the perfused kidney, suggesting that it is powered by metabolic rather than physical sources of energy.

Histochemical localization of adenosine triphosphatase and thiamine pyrophosphatase in the digestive system of the teleost fish, Heteropneustes fossilis has been studied. In the stomach, ATPase activity is observed in the mucosa, gastric glands and muscularis. The activity is stronger in the muscularis. Very weak TPPase activity is localized only in the mucosa and gastric glands. In the intestinal mucosa ATPase activity is stronger especially, along the brush border. Mild activity is also found in the connective tissue network and their nuclei, muscularis and serosa. In the posterior portion of the intestine and rectum, the localization pattern is similar to that of intestine but the activity is weaker. TPPase activity in the intestine and rectum is restricted only to the goblet shaped mucus secreting cells. In the liver, strong activity of ATPase and moderate activity of TPPase are found in the cytoplasm as well as the nuclei of the hepatic cells.

The major evidence against the hypothesis that Na+, K+-adenosine triphosphatase (Na+, K+-ATPase) inhibition is the mechanism of the positive inotropic action of digitalis is that the myocardial sodium content does not increase at the time of the inotropic response. In order to understand the relationship between sodium pump inhibition and myocardial sodium content, a computer simulation of the intracellular sodium concentration ([Na+]i) during a cycle of myocardial function was performed. The model for the computer simulation is a small compartment adjacent to the inner surface of the sarcolemma. The change in [Na+]i in this compartment is determined by the rate of sodium influx (published data utilized) and the rate of active sodium transport was estimated from the activities of partially purified dog heart Na+, K+-ATPase preparations assayed with various concentrations of sodium and ouabain. The initial rapid sodium influx results in maximal sodium pump activation, but the pump activity decreases with time as the [Na+]i decreases. Thus, the sodium pump functions at a rate close to its maximal velocity during the initial phase of each cycle but at reduced rates during the later phase. Inhibition of Na+, K+-ATPase by ouabain decreases the maximal velocity during the intiial phase of each cycle but at reduced rates during the later phase. Inhibition of Na+, K+-ATPase by ouabain decreases the maximal velocity of the sodium pump but increases the time in each cycle at which the sodium pump operates at its highest possible rate under these conditions, i.e., a rate close to the inhibited maximal velocity. A 40% inhibition of Na+, K+-ATPase activity, caused by inotropic concentrations of ouabain, increases the peak [Na+]i but fails to cause intracellular sodium accumulation since [Na+]i approaches control levels before the beginning of the next cardiac cycle. With greater enzyme inhibition, caused by arrhythmic concentrations of ouabain, [Na+]i fails to return to the precycle level and thus each subsequent cycle causes a progressive accumulation of myocardial sodium. Computer simulation predicts that a positive inotropic concentration of ouabain causes a myocardial sodium accumulation at a high heart rate but not at a lower heart rate. This was confirmed by experiments with Langendorff preparations of guinea-pig hearts. It is concluded that a moderate sodium pump inhibition by inotropic concentrations of ouabain enhances the intracellular sodium transient (a transient increase in intracellular sodium concentration associated with each membrane excitation) but does not cause a significant myocardial sodium accumulation at normal heart rates. A progressive myocardial sodium accumulation occurs only when the degree of Na+, K+-ATPase inhibition exceeds a critical magnitude.
