Na +,K +-ATPase with Disrupted Na + Binding Sites I and III Binds Na + with Increased Affinity at Site II and Undergoes Na +-Activated Phosphorylation with ATP. Biomolecules 2024; 14:135. [PMID: 38275764 PMCID: PMC10812997 DOI: 10.3390/biom14010135] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Na+,K+-ATPase actively extrudes three cytoplasmic Na+ ions in exchange for two extracellular K+ ions for each ATP hydrolyzed. The atomic structure with bound Na+ identifies three Na+ sites, named I, II, and III. It has been proposed that site III is the first to be occupied and site II last, when Na+ binds from the cytoplasmic side. It is usually assumed that the occupation of all three Na+ sites is obligatory for the activation of phosphoryl transfer from ATP. To obtain more insight into the individual roles of the ion-binding sites, we have analyzed a series of seven mutants with substitution of the critical ion-binding residue Ser777, which is a shared ligand between Na+ sites I and III. Surprisingly, mutants with large and bulky substituents expected to prevent or profoundly disturb Na+ access to sites I and III retain the ability to form a phosphoenzyme from ATP, even with increased apparent Na+ affinity. This indicates that Na+ binding solely at site II is sufficient to promote phosphorylation. These mutations appear to lock the membrane sector into an E1-like configuration, allowing Na+ but not K+ to bind at site II, while the cytoplasmic sector undergoes conformational changes uncoupled from the membrane sector.

Abstract
Almost seventy years after its discovery, the sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (the sodium pump) located in the cell plasma membrane remains a source of novel mechanistic and physiologic findings. A noteworthy feature of this enzyme/transporter is its robust stoichiometric ratio under physiological conditions: it sequentially counter-transports three sodium ions and two potassium ions against their electrochemical potential gradients per each hydrolyzed ATP molecule. Here we summarize some present knowledge about the sodium pump and its physiological roles, and speculate whether energetic constraints may have played a role in the evolutionary selection of its characteristic stoichiometric ratio.

Abstract
Procedures to define kinetic mechanisms from catalytic activity measurements that obey the Michaelis-Menten equation are well established. In contrast, analytical tools for enzymes displaying non-Michaelis-Menten kinetics are underdeveloped, and transient-state measurements, when feasible, are therefore preferred in kinetic studies. Of note, transient-state determinations evaluate only partial reactions, and these might not participate in the reaction cycle. Here, we provide a general procedure to characterize kinetic mechanisms from steady-state determinations. We described non-Michaelis-Menten kinetics with equations containing parameters equivalent to kcat and Km and modeled the underlying mechanism by an approach similar to that used under Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The procedure enabled us to evaluate whether Na+/K+-ATPase uses the same sites to alternatively transport Na+ and K+ This ping-pong mechanism is supported by transient-state studies but contradicted to date by steady-state analyses claiming that the release of one cationic species as product requires the binding of the other (ternary-complex mechanism). To derive robust conclusions about the Na+/K+-ATPase transport mechanism, we did not rely on ATPase activity measurements alone. During the catalytic cycle, the transported cations become transitorily occluded (i.e. trapped within the enzyme). We employed radioactive isotopes to quantify occluded cations under steady-state conditions. We replaced K+ with Rb+ because 42K+ has a short half-life, and previous studies showed that K+- and Rb+-occluded reaction intermediates are similar. We derived conclusions regarding the rate of Rb+ deocclusion that were verified by direct measurements. Our results validated the ping-pong mechanism and proved that Rb+ deocclusion is accelerated when Na+ binds to an allosteric, nonspecific site, leading to a 2-fold increase in ATPase activity.

Abstract
The Na(+),K(+)-ATPase binds Na(+) at three transport sites denoted I, II, and III, of which site III is Na(+)-specific and suggested to be the first occupied in the cooperative binding process activating phosphorylation from ATP. Here we demonstrate that the asparagine substitution of the aspartate associated with site III found in patients with rapid-onset dystonia parkinsonism or alternating hemiplegia of childhood causes a dramatic reduction of Na(+) affinity in the α1-, α2-, and α3-isoforms of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase, whereas other substitutions of this aspartate are much less disruptive. This is likely due to interference by the amide function of the asparagine side chain with Na(+)-coordinating residues in site III. Remarkably, the Na(+) affinity of site III aspartate to asparagine and alanine mutants is rescued by second-site mutation of a glutamate in the extracellular part of the fourth transmembrane helix, distant to site III. This gain-of-function mutation works without recovery of the lost cooperativity and selectivity of Na(+) binding and does not affect the E1-E2 conformational equilibrium or the maximum phosphorylation rate. Hence, the rescue of Na(+) affinity is likely intrinsic to the Na(+) binding pocket, and the underlying mechanism could be a tightening of Na(+) binding at Na(+) site II, possibly via movement of transmembrane helix four. The second-site mutation also improves Na(+),K(+) pump function in intact cells. Rescue of Na(+) affinity and Na(+) and K(+) transport by second-site mutation is unique in the history of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase and points to new possibilities for treatment of neurological patients carrying Na(+),K(+)-ATPase mutations.

Abstract
The neurological disorders familial hemiplegic migraine type 2 (FHM2), alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC), and rapid-onset dystonia parkinsonism (RDP) are caused by mutations of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase α2 and α3 isoforms, expressed in glial and neuronal cells, respectively. Although these disorders are distinct, they overlap in phenotypical presentation. Two Na(+),K(+)-ATPase mutations, extending the C terminus by either 28 residues ("+28" mutation) or an extra tyrosine ("+Y"), are associated with FHM2 and RDP, respectively. We describe here functional consequences of these and other neurological disease mutations as well as an extension of the C terminus only by a single alanine. The dependence of the mutational effects on the specific α isoform in which the mutation is introduced was furthermore studied. At the cellular level we have characterized the C-terminal extension mutants and other mutants, addressing the question to what extent they cause a change of the intracellular Na(+) and K(+) concentrations ([Na(+)]i and [K(+)]i) in COS cells. C-terminal extension mutants generally showed dramatically reduced Na(+) affinity without disturbance of K(+) binding, as did other RDP mutants. No phosphorylation from ATP was observed for the +28 mutation of α2 despite a high expression level. A significant rise of [Na(+)]i and reduction of [K(+)]i was detected in cells expressing mutants with reduced Na(+) affinity and did not require a concomitant reduction of the maximal catalytic turnover rate or expression level. Moreover, two mutations that increase Na(+) affinity were found to reduce [Na(+)]i. It is concluded that the Na(+) affinity of the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase is an important determinant of [Na(+)]i.

Abstract
A comprehensive study of the interaction between Na(+) and K(+) with the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase requires dissecting the incidence of alternative cycling modes on activity measurements in which one or both of these cations are absent. With this aim, we used membrane fragments containing pig-kidney Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase to perform measurements, at 25°C and pH=7.4, of ATPase activity and steady-state levels of (i) intermediates containing occluded Rb(+) at different [Rb(+)] in media lacking Na(+), and (ii) phosphorylated intermediates at different [Na(+)] in media lacking Rb(+). Most relevant results are: (1) Rb(+) can be occluded through an ATPasic cycling mode that takes place in the absence of Na(+) ions, (2) the kinetic behavior of the phosphoenzyme formed by ATP in the absence of Na(+) is different from the one that is formed with Na(+), and (3) binding of Na(+) to transport sites during catalysis is not at random unless rapid equilibrium holds.

Abstract
Interaction between integral membrane proteins and the lipid-bilayer component of biological membranes is expected to mutually influence the proteins and the membrane. We present quantitative evidence of a manifestation of the lipid-protein interactions in liposomal membranes, reconstituted with actively pumping Na(+),K(+)-ATPase, in terms of nonequilibrium shape fluctuations that contain a relaxation time, τ, which is robust and independent of the specific fluctuation modes of the membrane. In the case of pumping Na(+)-ions, analysis of the flicker-noise temporal correlation spectrum of the liposomes leads to τ ~/= 0.5 s, comparing favorably with an intrinsic reaction-cycle time of about 0.4 s from enzymology.

Abstract
The Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase, a membrane-associated ion pump, uses energy from the hydrolysis of ATP to pump 3 Na(+) ions out of and 2 K(+) into cells. The dependence of ATP hydrolysis on ATP concentration was measured using a fluorescence coupled-enzyme assay. The dependence on concentration of nucleotide association with the ATPase was examined using ADP and ATP-induced quenching of the fluorescence of ATPase labeled with Cy3-maleimide (Cy3-ATPase) or Alexa Fluor 546 carboxylic acid, succinimidyl ester (AF-ATPase). The kinetics of ATP hydrolysis in the presence of Na(+) and K(+) exhibited negative cooperativity with a Hill coefficient (n(H)) of 0.66 and a half-maximal concentration (K(0.5)) of 61 microM; in the absence of K(+), n(H) was 0.58 and K(0.5) was 13 microM. Nucleotide-induced fluorescence quenching exhibited negative cooperativity with an n(H) of 0.3-0.5. These results suggest that negative cooperativity observed in ATP hydrolysis is attributable to negative cooperativity in nucleotide association to the ATPase. Interaction between AF-ATPase and ATP labeled with Alexa Fluor 647 (AF-ATP) showed significant Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). These results indicate that the ATPase exists as oligoprotomeric complexes in this preparation, and that this aggregation has significant effects on enzyme function.

Abstract
The literature suggests that when Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase has reduced access to its glycosphingolipid cofactor sulfogalactosyl ceramide (SGC), it is converted to a Na(+) uniporter. We recently showed that such segregation can occur within a single membrane when Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase is excluded from membrane microdomains or 'lipid rafts' enriched in SGC (D. Lingwood, G. Harauz, J.S. Ballantyne, J. Biol. Chem. 280, 36545-36550). Specifically we demonstrated that Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase localizes to SGC-enriched rafts in the gill basolateral membrane (BLM) of rainbow trout exposed to seawater (SW) but not freshwater (FW). We therefore proposed that since the freshwater gill Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase was separated from BLM SGC it should also transport Na(+) only, suggesting a new role for the pump in this epithelium. In this paper we discuss the biochemical evidence for SGC-based modulation of transport stoichiometry and highlight how a unique asparagine-lysine substitution in the FW pump isoform and FW gill transport energetics gear the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase to perform Na(+) uniport.

Abstract
The whole-cell voltage-clamp technique was used in rat cardiac myocytes to investigate the kinetics of ADP binding to phosphorylated states of Na,K-ATPase and its effects on presteady-state Na(+)-dependent charge movements by this enzyme. Ouabain-sensitive transient currents generated by Na,K-ATPase functioning in electroneutral Na(+)-Na(+) exchange mode were measured at 23 degrees C with pipette ADP concentrations ([ADP]) of up to 4.3 mM and extracellular Na(+) concentrations ([Na](o)) between 36 and 145 mM at membrane potentials (V(M)) from -160 to +80 mV. Analysis of charge-V(M) curves showed that the midpoint potential of charge distribution was shifted toward more positive V(M) both by increasing [ADP] at constant Na(+)(o) and by increasing [Na](o) at constant ADP. The total quantity of mobile charge, on the other hand, was found to be independent of changes in [ADP] or [Na](o). The presence of ADP increased the apparent rate constant for current relaxation at hyperpolarizing V(M) but decreased it at depolarizing V(M) as compared to control (no added ADP), an indication that ADP binding facilitates backward reaction steps during Na(+)-Na(+) exchange while slowing forward reactions. Data analysis using a pseudo three-state model yielded an apparent K(d) of approximately 6 mM for ADP binding to and release from the Na,K-ATPase phosphoenzyme; a value of 130 s(-1) for k(2), a rate constant that groups Na(+) deocclusion/release and the enzyme conformational transition E(1) approximately P --> E(2)-P; a value of 162 s(-1)M(-1) for k(-2), a lumped second-order V(M)-independent rate constant describing the reverse reactions; and a Hill coefficient of approximately 1 for Na(+)(o) binding to E(2)-P. The results are consistent with electroneutral release of ADP before Na(+) is deoccluded and released through an ion well. The same approach can be used to study additional charge-moving reactions and associated electrically silent steps of the Na,K-pump and other transporters.

Abstract
P-type ATPases couple scalar and vectorial events under optimized states. A number of procedures and conditions lead to uncoupling or slippage. A key branching point in the catalytic cycle is at the cation-bound form of E(1)-P, where isomerization to E(2)-P leads to coupled transport, and hydrolysis leads to uncoupled release of cations to the cis membrane surface. The phenomenon of slippage supports a channel model for active transport. Ability to occlude cations within the channel is essential for coupling. Uncoupling and slippage appear to be inherent properties of P-type cation pumps, and are significant contributors to standard metabolic rate. Heat production is favored in the uncoupled state. A number of disease conditions, include ageing, ischemia and cardiac failure, result in uncoupling of either the Ca(2+)-ATPase or Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase.

Abstract
The effects of phospholipid acyl chain length (n(c)), degree of acyl chain saturation, and cholesterol on Na,K-ATPase reconstituted into liposomes of defined lipid composition are described. The optimal acyl chain length of monounsaturated phosphatidylcholine in the absence of cholesterol was found to be 22 but decreased to 18 in the presence of 40 mol % cholesterol. This indicates that the hydrophobic matching of the lipid bilayer and the transmembrane hydrophobic core of the membrane protein is a crucial parameter in supporting optimal Na,K-ATPase activity. In addition, the increased bilayer order induced by both cholesterol and saturated phospholipids could be important for the conformational mobility of the Na,K-ATPase changing the distribution of conformations. Lipid fluidity was important for several parameters of reconstitution, e.g., the amount of protein inserted and the orientation in the liposomes. The temperature dependence of the Na,K-ATPase as well of the Na-ATPase reactions depends both on phospholipid acyl chain length and on cholesterol. Cholesterol increased significantly both the enthalpy of activation and entropy of activation for Na,K-ATPase activity and Na-ATPase activity of Na,K-ATPase reconstituted with monounsaturated phospholipids. In the presence of cholesterol the free energy of activation was minimum at a lipid acyl chain length of 18, the same that supported maximum turnover. In the case of ATPase reconstituted without cholesterol, the minimum free energy of activation and the maximum turnover both shifted to longer acyl chain lengths of about 22.

Abstract
Na,K-ATPase containing the amino acid substitution glutamate to alanine at position 779 of the alpha subunit (Glu779Ala) supports a high level of Na-ATPase and electrogenic Na+-Na+ exchange activity in the absence of K+. In microsomal preparations of Glu779Ala enzyme, the Na+ concentration for half maximal activation of Na-ATPase activity was 161 +/- 14 mM (n = 3). Furthermore, enzyme activity with 800 mM Na+ was found to be similar in the presence and absence of 20 mM K+. These results showed that Na+, with low affinity, could stimulate enzyme turnover as effectively as K+. To gain further insight into the mechanism of this enzyme activity, HeLa cells expressing Glu779Ala enzyme were voltage clamped with patch electrodes containing 115 mM Na+ during superfusion in K+-free solutions. Electrogenic Na+-Na+ exchange was observed as an ouabain-inhibitable outward current whose amplitude was proportional to extracellular Na+ (Na+(o)) concentration. At all Na+(o) concentrations tested (3-148 mM), exchange current was maximal at negative membrane potentials (V(M)), but decreased as V(M) became more positive. Analyzing this current at each V(M) with a Hill equation showed that Na+-Na+ exchange had a high-affinity, low-capacity component with an apparent Na+(o) affinity at 0 mV (K0(0.5)) of 13.4 +/- 0.6 mM and a low-affinity, high-capacity component with a K0(0.5) of 120 +/- 13 mM (n = 17). Both high- and low-affinity exchange components were V(M) dependent, dissipating 30 +/- 3% and 82 +/- 6% (n = 17) of the membrane dielectric, respectively. The low-affinity, but not the high-affinity exchange component was inhibited with 2 mM free ADP in the patch electrode solution. These results suggest that the high-affinity component of electrogenic Na+-Na+ exchange could be explained by Na+(o) acting as a low-affinity K+ congener; however, the low-affinity component of electrogenic exchange appeared to be due to forward enzyme cycling activated by Na+(o) binding at a Na+-specific site deep in the membrane dielectric. A pseudo six-state model for the Na,K-ATPase was developed to simulate these data and the results of the accompanying paper (Peluffo, R.D., J.M. Argüello, and J.R. Berlin. 2000. J. Gen. Physiol. 116:47-59). This model showed that alterations in the kinetics of extracellular ion-dependent reactions alone could explain the effects of Glu779Ala substitution on the Na,K-ATPase.

Abstract
Substitution of alanine for Ser775 in a ouabain-resistant alpha1 sheep isoform causes a 30-fold decrease in apparent affinity for K+ as an activator of the Na,K-ATPase, as well as an increase in apparent affinity for ATP (Arguello, J. M., and Lingrel, J. B (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 22764-22771). This study was carried out to determine whether Ser775 is a direct cation-ligating residue or whether the change in apparent affinity for K+ is secondary to a conformational alteration as evidenced in the change in ATP affinity, with the following results. Kinetics of K+(Rb+) influx into intact cells show that the change is due to a change in K+ interaction at the extracellular surface. The K+ dependence of formation of K+-occluded enzyme (E2(K)) and of the rate of formation of deoccluded enzyme from E2(K) indicate that the Ser775 --> Ala mutation results in a marked increase (>/=30-fold) in rate of release of K+ from E2(K). The high affinity Na+-like competitive antagonist 1,3-dibromo2,4,6-tris-(methylisothiouronium)benzene (Br2TITU), which interacts with the E1 conformation and blocks cytoplasmic cation binding (Hoving, S., Bar-Shimon, M., Tijmes, J. J. , Tal, D. M., and Karlish, S. J. D. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 29788-29793), inhibits Na+-ATPase of the mutant less than the control enzyme. With intact cells, Br2TITU acts as a competitive inhibitor of extracellular K+ activation of both the mutant and control enzymes. In this case, the mutant was more sensitive to inhibition. With vanadate as a probe of conformation, a difference in conformational equilibrium between the mutant and control enzymes could not be detected under turnover conditions (Na+- ATPase) in the absence of K+. These results indicate that the increase in apparent affinity for ATP effected by the Ser775 --> Ala mutation is secondary to a change in intrinsic cation affinity/selectivity. The large change in affinity for extracellular K+ compared with cytoplasmic Na+ and to Br2TITU binding supports the conclusion that the serine hydroxyl is either part of the K+-gate structure or a direct cation-ligating residue that is shared by at least one Na+ ion, albeit with less consequence on rate constants for Na+ binding or release compared with K+.

Abstract
In liposomes with reconstituted shark Na+,K(+)-ATPase an uncoupled Na(+)-efflux and a Na+/Na+ exchange can be induced on inside-out oriented pumps by the addition of external (cytoplasmic) Na+ and MgATP to liposomes that either do not contain Na+ (and other alkali cations), or include 130 mM Na+ internally (extracellular). Both modes of exchange are electrogenic and accompanied by a net hydrolysis of ATP. The coupling ratio of positive net charges translocated per ATP split is found to be close to 3:1 and 1:1, respectively, for the two modes of exchange reactions at pH 7.0. By addition of the hydrophobic anion tetraphenylboron (TPB-), which imposes a negative electrostatic membrane potential inside the lipid bilayer, the ATP hydrolysis accompanying uncoupled Na+ efflux is increased with increasing TPB- concentrations. Cholesterol which increases the inner positive dipole potential of the bilayer counteracted this activation by TPB- of uncoupled Na+ efflux. Using the structural analog tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP+), which elicits an inside positive membrane potential, ATP hydrolysis accompanying uncoupled Na(+)-efflux is decreased. The rate of dephosphorylation in the absence of extracellular alkali cations was affected in a similar manner, whereas the dephosphorylation in the presence of extracellular Na+ inducing Na+/Na+ exchange was unaffected by the hydrophobic ions. In both modes of exchange the phosphorylation reaction was independent of the presence of hydrophobic ions. The hydrophobic ions affected the apparent affinity for cytoplasmic Na+, indicating that binding of cytoplasmic Na+ may involve the migration of cations to binding sites through a shallow cytoplasmic access channel. The results are in accordance with the simple electrostatic model for charge translocation in which two negative charges in the cytoplasmic binding domain of the Na+,K(+)-ATPase co-migrate during cation transport.

Abstract
The cholesterol content of liposome bilayers has been varied between 0-40 mol% to study the effects on reconstituted Na+,K(+)-ATPase. The maximum hydrolytic activity of reconstituted Na+,K(+)-ATPase was increased by cholesterol at concentrations above 10 mol% for both the physiological Na+/K(+)-exchange reactions, as well as for the partial reactions Na+/Na(+)-exchange and uncoupled Na+ efflux. Omission of cholesterol from the liposome bilayer modified the activation by cytoplasmic Na+, indicating effects on both Vmax and on the Na(+)-affinity. Several other kinetic parameters were found to be strongly influenced as well, most notable the steady-state phosphorylation level, and the characteristics of the phosphorylation/dephosphorylation reactions. These results indicate that cholesterol interacts directly with the Na+,K(+)-ATPase as an essential effector perhaps by affecting its conformational mobility or monomer interaction.

Abstract
Sodium pump mediated Na/Na exchange was studied using Na(+)-loaded proteoliposomes prepared from dog kidney Na,K-ATPase. Measurements of both 22Na+ influx and pump-generated electrical potentials were carried out, the latter using the anionic dye, oxonol VI. In the presence of ATP, the formation of a strophanthidin-sensitive membrane potential confirms that Na/Na exchange associated with ATP hydrolysis can be electrogenic depending on the source of the enzyme. With the addition of varying concentrations of ADP, electrogenic exchange is progressively inhibited and replaced by electroneutral exchange. ADP is equally effective in activating (ATP + ADP)-dependent electroneutral exchange. With sufficient ADP, electrogenic Na/Na exchange is completely replaced by electroneutral exchange.

Abstract
Ion transporters can be thought of as ion channels that open and close only at one end at a time. As in real channels, ions may cross through an electrical field as they diffuse into and bind within the transporter pore, thereby generating electrical current. Extracellular sodium binding by the sodium potassium (Na,K) pump is associated with ultrafast charge movements in giant cardiac membrane patches. The charge movements are complete within 4 microseconds. They occur only when binding sites are open to the extracellular side, and they are abolished by ouabain and by the removal of extracellular sodium. Fast extracellular ion binding may be the exclusive source of Na,K pump electrogenicity.

Abstract
Pre-steady-state transient currents have been investigated in the vegetal pole of Xenopus oocytes using the open-oocyte vaseline-gap technique of Taglialatela, Toro, and Stefani (Biophysical Journal. 61:78-82, 1992). Voltage pulses 40 ms in duration were made from a holding potential of -40 mV to command potentials over the range -160 to +60 mV in increments of 20 mV. Current records (averaged 20X; sampled every 200 microseconds) in the presence of dihydroouabain (DHO) or absence of external Na+ (Nao) were subtracted from current records obtained under Na/Na exchange conditions, i.e. internally perfused with 50 mM Na+, 5 mM ATP, and 5 mM ADP (K(+)-free) and externally superfused with 100 mM Na+,K(+)-free solution. Transient currents were dependent on intracellular Na+ and nucleotides, and diminished by activation of forward pumping; they were also reduced by 10 micrograms ml-1 of oligomycin B applied to the external solution. These properties of the pre-steady state currents are consistent with the Na/K pump operating in its electroneutral Na/Na exchange mode. The voltage dependence of the DHO- and Nao-sensitive transient currents was analyzed using a pseudo two-state model in which only the rate coefficient for Nao-binding/reocclusion is voltage-dependent (Rakowski, R. F. 1993. J. Gen. Physiol. 101:117-144). The apparent valence of the charge moved during the on (zq-on) and off (zq-off) of the pulse were 0.96 +/- 0.05 and 0.95 +/- 0.05 for Nao-sensitive, and 1.10 +/- 0.07 and 0.85 +/- 0.06 for DHO-sensitive transient currents, respectively. The total amount of charge moved (Qtot) and the mid-point voltage of the charge distribution (Vq) were 230 +/- 15 pC and -56.2 +/- 5.1 mV, and 268 +/- 34 pC and -67.0 +/- 7.6 mV for Nao- and DHO-sensitive transient currents, respectively. The apparent valence (zk) and the voltage at which the forward and backward rates are equal (Vk) obtained from the relaxation rates were 0.80 +/- 0.05 and -129.3 +/- 10.0 mV, and 0.86 +/- 0.10 and -135.1 +/- 9.0 mV for the Nao- and DHO-sensitive pre-steady state currents, respectively. The values of the parameters were not statistically significantly different between the Nao- and DHO-sensitive transient currents. Excluding the first 600 microseconds after the onset of a voltage step which was not temporally resolved, transient currents showed no indication of a rising phase. These results support the idea that charge translocation occurs within an external access channel at a rate that is governed by a voltage-dependent binding/reocclusion process and a voltage-independent deocclusion/unbinding process.

Abstract
In each normal Na,K pump cycle, first three sodium and then two potassium ions are transported; in both cases, the ions become temporarily occluded in pump conformations that isolate them from internal and external solutions. A major charge movement occurs during sodium translocation and accompanies the deocclusion of sodium ions or their release to the cell exterior, or both. The nature of the charge movement was examined by measurement of the undirectional sodium-22 efflux mediated by Nai-Nao exchange (Nai and Nao are internal and external sodium ions) in voltage-clamped, internally dialyzed squid giant axons in the absence of potassium; in this way the pump activity was restricted to the sodium-translocation pathway. Although electroneutral, the Nai-Nao exchange was nevertheless voltage-sensitive: increasingly negative potentials enhanced its rate along a saturating sigmoid curve. Such voltage dependence demonstrates that the release and rebinding of external sodium is the predominant charge-moving (hence, voltage-sensitive) step, suggesting that extracellular sodium ions must reach their binding sites deep in the pump molecule through a high-field access channel. This implies that part of the pump molecule is functionally analogous to an ion channel.

Abstract
Pre-steady-state transient currents (1986. Nakao, M., and D. C. Gadsby. Nature [Lond.]. 323:628-630) mediated by the Na/K pump were measured under conditions for Na/Na exchange (K-free solution) in voltage-clamped Xenopus oocytes. Signal-averaged (eight times) current records obtained in response to voltage clamp steps over the range -160 to +60 mV after the addition of 100 microM dihydroouabain (DHO) or removal of external Na (control) were subtracted from test records obtained before the solution change. A slow component of DHO- or Na-sensitive difference current was consistently observed and its properties were analyzed. The quantity of charge moved was well described as a Boltzmann function of membrane potential with an apparent valence of 1.0. The relaxation rate of the current was fit by the sum of an exponentially voltage-dependent reverse rate coefficient plus a voltage-independent forward rate constant. The quantity of charge moved at the on and off of each voltage pulse was approximately equal except at extreme negative values of membrane potential where the on charge tended to be less than the off. The midpoint voltage of the charge distribution function (Vq) was shifted by -24.8 +/- 1.7 mV by changing the external [Na] in the test condition from 90 to 45 mM and by +14.7 +/- 1.7 mV by changing the test [Na] from 90 to 120 mM. A pseudo three-state model of charge translocation is discussed in which Na+ is bound and occluded at the internal face of the enzyme and is released into an external-facing high field access channel (ion well). The model predicts a shift of the charge distribution function to more hyperpolarized potentials as extracellular [Na] is lowered; however, several features of the data are not predicted by the model.

Abstract
Experiments with the reconstituted (Na+ + K+)-ATPase show that besides the ATP-dependent cytoplasmic Na(+)-K+ competition for Na+ activation there is a high affinity inhibitory effect of cytoplasmic K+. In contrast to the high affinity K+ inhibition seen with the unsided preparation at a low ATP especially at a low temperature, the high affinity inhibition by cytoplasmic K+ does not disappear when the ATP concentration an-or the temperature is increased. The high affinity inhibition by cytoplasmic K+ is also observed with Cs+, Li+ or K+ as the extracellular cation, but the fractional inhibition is much less pronounced than with Na+ as the extracellular cation. The results suggest that either there are two populations of enzyme, one with the normal ATP dependent cytoplasmic Na(+)-K+ competition, and another which due to the preparative procedure has lost this ATP sensitivity. Or that the normal enzyme has two pathways for the transition from E2-P to E1ATP. One on which the enzyme with the translocated ion binds cytoplasmic K+ with a high affinity but not ATP, and another on which ATP is bound but not K+. A kinetic model which can accommodate this is suggested.

Abstract
The red cell Na/K pump is known to continue to extrude Na when both Na and K are removed from the external medium. Because this ouabain-sensitive flux occurs in the absence of an exchangeable cation, it is referred to as uncoupled Na efflux. This flux is also known to be inhibited by 5 mM Nao but to a lesser extent than that inhibitable by ouabain. Uncoupled Na efflux via the Na/K pump therefore can be divided into a Nao-sensitive and Nao-insensitive component. We used DIDS-treated, SO4-equilibrated human red blood cells suspended in HEPES-buffered (pHo 7.4) MgSO4 or (Tris)2SO4, in which we measured 22Na efflux, 35SO4 efflux, and changes in the membrane potential with the fluorescent dye, diS-C3 (5). A principal finding is that uncoupled Na efflux occurs electroneurally, in contrast to the pump's normal electrogenic operation when exchanging Nai for Ko. This electroneutral uncoupled efflux of Na was found to be balanced by an efflux of cellular anions. (We were unable to detect any ouabain-sensitive uptake of protons, measured in an unbuffered medium at pH 7.4 with a Radiometer pH-STAT.) The Nao-sensitive efflux of Nai was found to be 1.95 +/- 0.10 times the Nao-sensitive efflux of (SO4)i, indicating that the stoichiometry of this cotransport is two Na+ per SO4=, accounting for 60-80% of the electroneutral Na efflux. The remainder portion, that is, the ouabain-sensitive Nao-insensitive component, has been identified as PO4-coupled Na transport and is the subject of a separate paper. That uncoupled Na efflux occurs as a cotransport with anions is supported by the result, obtained with resealed ghosts, that when internal and external SO4 was substituted by the impermeant anion, tartrate i,o, the efflux of Na was inhibited 60-80%. This inhibition could be relieved by the inclusion, before DIDS treatment, of 5 mM Cli,o. Addition of 10 mM Ko to tartrate i,o ghosts, with or without Cli,o, resulted in full activation of Na/K exchange and the pump's electrogenicity. Although it can be concluded that Na efflux in the uncoupled mode occurs by means of a cotransport with cellular anions, the molecular basis for this change in the internal charge structure of the pump and its change in ion selectivity is at present unknown.

Abstract
With a purified Na+/K(+)-ATPase preparation reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles, Na+/K+, Na+/Na+, and uncoupled Na+ transport were studied using three nucleotides and five substrates of the K(+)-phosphatase reaction that this enzyme also catalyzes. For Na+/K+ exchange, CTP was half as effective as ATP and GTP one-twentieth; of the phosphatase substrates only carbamyl phosphate and 3-O-methylfluorescein phosphate produced significant transport and at merely 1% of the rate with ATP. For Na+/Na+ exchange, comparable rates of transport were produced by ATP, CTP, carbamyl phosphate and acetyl phosphate, although the actual rate of transport with ATP was only 2.4% of that for Na+/K+ exchange; slower rates occurred with GTP (69%), 3-O-methylfluorescein phosphate (51%), and nitrophenyl phosphate (33%). Only umbelliferone phosphate was ineffective. For uncoupled Na+ transport results similar to those for Na+/Na+ exchange were obtained, but the actual rate of transport was still slower, 1.4% of that for Na+/K+ exchange. Thus, not only nucleotides but a variety of phosphatase substrates (which are phosphoric acid mixed anhydrides) can phosphorylate the enzyme at the high-affinity substrate site to form the E1P intermediate of the reaction sequence. Oligomycin inhibited Na+/K+ exchange with ATP by half, but with carbamyl phosphate not at all; with CTP the inhibition was intermediate, one-fourth. By contrast, oligomycin inhibited Na+/Na+ exchange by one-fifth with all three substrates. A quantitative, steady-state kinetic model accounts for the relative magnitudes of Na+/K+ and Na+/Na+ exchanges with ATP, CTP, and carbamyl phosphate as substrates, as well as the extents of inhibition by oligomycin. The model requires that even when Na+ substitutes for K+ a slow step in the reaction sequence is the E2 to E1 conformational transition.

Abstract
Na,K-ATPase from rabbit kidney outer medulla was reconstituted in large unilamellar lipid vesicles by detergent dialysis. Vesicles prepared in the presence or absence of potassium allowed to study two different transport modes: the (physiological) Na,K-mode in buffers containing Na+ and K+ and the Na-only mode in buffers containing Na+ but no K+. The ATP hydrolysis activity was obtained by determination of the liberated inorganic phosphate, Pi, and the inward directed Na+ flux was measured by 22Na-tracer flux. Electrogenic transport properties were studied using the membrane potential sensitive fluorescence-dye oxonol VI. The ratio upsilon(Na,K)/upsilon(Na) of the turnover rates in the Na,K-mode and in the Na-only mode is 6.6 +/- 2.0 under otherwise identical conditions and nonlimiting Na+ concentrations. Strong evidence is found that the Na-only mode exhibits a stoichiometry of 3Na+cyt/2Na+ext/1ATP, i.e. the extracellular (= intravesicular) Na+ has a potassium-like effect. In the Na-only mode one high-affinity binding side for ATP (KM congruent to 50 nM) was found, in the Na,K-mode a high- and low-affinity binding side with equilibrium dissociation constants, KM, of 60 nM and 13 microM, respectively. The sensitivity against the noncompetitively inhibiting ADP (KI = 6 microM) is higher by a factor of 20 in the Na-only mode compared to the Na,K-mode. From the temperature dependence of the pumping activity in both transport modes, activation energies of 160 kJ/mol for the Na,K-mode and 110 kJ/mol for the Na-only mode were determined.

Abstract
Na/K pump current was determined between -140 and +60 mV as steady-state, strophanthidin-sensitive, whole-cell current in guinea pig ventricular myocytes, voltage-clamped and internally dialyzed via wide-tipped pipettes. Solutions were designed to minimize all other components of membrane current. A device for exchanging the solution inside the pipette permitted investigation of Na/K pump current-voltage (I-V) relationships at several levels of pipette [Na] [( Na]pip) in a single cell; the effects of changes in external [Na] [( Na]o) or external [K] [( K]o) were also studied. At 50 mM [Na]pip, 5.4 mM [K]o, and approximately 150 mM [Na]o, Na/K pump current was steeply voltage dependent at negative potentials but was approximately constant at positive potentials. Under those conditions, reduction of [Na]o enhanced pump current at negative potentials but had little effect at positive potentials: at zero [Na]o, pump current was only weakly voltage dependent. At 5.4 mM [K]o and approximately 150 mM [Na]o, reduction of [Na]pip from 50 mM scaled down the sigmoid pump I-V relationship and shifted it slightly to the right (toward more positive potentials). Pump current at 0 mV was activated by [Na]pip according to the Hill equation with best-fit K0.5 approximately equal to 11 mM and Hill coefficient nH approximately equal to 1.4. At zero [Na]o, reduction of [Na]pip seemed to simply scale down the relatively flat pump I-V relationship: Hill fit parameters for pump activation by [Na]pip at 0 mV were K0.5 approximately equal to 10 mM, nH approximately equal to 1.4. At 50 mM [Na]pip and high [Na]o, reduction of [K]o from 5.4 mM scaled down the sigmoid I-V relationship and shifted it slightly to the right: at 0 mV, K0.5 approximately equal to 1.5 mM and nH approximately equal to 1.0. At zero [Na]o, lowering [K]o simply scaled down the flat pump I-V relationships yielding, at 0 mV, K0.5 approximately equal to 0.2 mM, nH approximately equal to 1.1. The voltage-independent activation of Na/K pump current by both intracellular Na ions and extracellular K ions, at zero [Na]o, suggests that neither ion binds within the membrane field. Extracellular Na ions, however, seem to have both a voltage-dependent and a voltage-independent influence on the Na/K pump: they inhibit outward Na/K pump current in a strongly voltage-dependent fashion, with higher apparent affinity at more negative potentials (K0.5 approximately equal to 90 mM at -120 mV, and approximately 170 mM at -80 mV), and they compete with extracellular K ions in a seemingly voltage-independent manner.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
A method is described for studying the coupling ratio of the Na+/K+ pump, i.e., the ratio of pump-mediated fluxes of Na+ and K+, in a reconstituted system. The method is based on the comparison of the pump-generated current with the rate of K+ transport. Na+/K+-ATPase from kidney is incorporated into the membrane of artificial lipid vesicles; ATPase molecules with outward-oriented ATP-binding site are activated by addition of ATP to the medium. Using oxonol VI as a potential-sensitive dye for measuring transmembrane voltage, the pump current is determined from the change of voltage with time t. In a second set of experiments, the membrane is made selectively K+-permeable by addition of valinomycin, so that the membrane voltage U is equal to the Nernst potential of K+. Under this condition, dU/dt reflects the change of intravesicular K+ concentration and thus the flux of K+. Values of the Na+/K+ coupling ratio determined in this way are close to 1.5 in the experimental range (10-75 mM) of extravesicular (cytoplasmic) Na+ concentrations.

Abstract
The stoichiometry and voltage dependence of the Na/K pump were studied in internally dialyzed, voltage-clamped squid giant axons by simultaneously measuring, at various membrane potentials, the changes in Na efflux (delta phi Na) and holding current (delta I) induced by dihydrodigitoxigenin (H2DTG). H2DTG stops the Na/K pump without directly affecting other current pathways: (a) it causes no delta I when the pump lacks Na, K, Mg, or ATP, and (b) ouabain causes no delta I or delta phi Na in the presence of saturating H2DTG. External K (Ko) activates Na efflux with Michaelis-Menten kinetics (Km = 0.45 +/- 0.06 mM [SEM]) in Na-free seawater (SW), but with sigmoid kinetics in approximately 400 mM Na SW (Hill coefficient = 1.53 +/- 0.08, K1/2 = 3.92 +/- 0.29 mM). H2DTG inhibits less strongly (Ki = 6.1 +/- 0.3 microM) in 1 or 10 mM K Na-free SW than in 10 mM K, 390 mM Na SW (1.8 +/- 0.2 microM). Dialysis with 5 mM each ATP, phosphoenolpyruvate, and phosphoarginine reduced Na/Na exchange to at most 2% of the H2DTG-sensitive Na efflux. H2DTG sensitive but nonpump current caused by periaxonal K accumulation upon stopping the pump, was minimized by the K channel blockers 3,4-diaminopyridine (1 mM), tetraethylammonium (approximately 200 mM), and phenylpropyltriethylammonium (20-25 mM) whose adequacy was tested by varying [K]o (0-10 mM) with H2DTG present. Two ancillary clamp circuits suppressed stray current from the axon ends. Current and flux measured from the center pool derive from the same membrane area since, over the voltage range -60 to +20 mV, tetrodotoxin-sensitive current and Na efflux into Na-free SW, under K-free conditions, were equal. The stoichiometry and voltage dependence of pump Na/K exchange were examined at near-saturating [ATP], [K]o and [Na]i in both Na-free and 390 mM Na SW. The H2DTG-sensitive F delta phi Na/delta I ratio (F is Faraday's constant) of paired measurements corrected for membrane area match, was 2.86 +/- 0.09 (n = 8) at 0 mV and 3.05 +/- 0.13 (n = 6) at -60 to -90 mV in Na-free SW, and 2.72 +/- 0.09 (n = 7) at 0 mV and 2.91 +/- 0.21 (n = 4) at -60 mV in 390 mM Na SW. Its overall mean value was 2.87 +/- 0.07 (n = 25), which was not significantly different from the 3.0 expected of a 3 Na/2 K pump.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
The objective of the present investigation was to characterize the ATP-dependent Na+-Na+ exchange, with respect to cation sensitivity on the two aspects of the Na+/K+-pump protein. In order to accomplish this, we used Na+/K+-ATPase reconstituted with known orientation in the proteoliposomes. Activation by cytoplasmic Na+ shows cooperative interaction between three sites. The apparent intrinsic site constants displayed transmembrane dependence on the extracellular Na+ concentration. However, the apparent K0.5 for cytoplasmic Na+ is independent of the extracellular Na+ concentration. The activation by extracellular Na+ at a fixed cytoplasmic Na+ concentration is biphasic with a component which saturates at a concentration of about 1-2 mM extracellular Na+, a plateau phase up to 20 mM, and another component which tends to saturate at about 80 mM followed by a slight deactivation at higher concentrations of Na+. The apparent K0.5 value for extracellular Na+ is also found to be independent of the Na+ concentration on the opposite side of the membrane. The activation by extracellular Na+ can be explained by the negative cooperativity in the binding of extracellular Na+, but positive cooperativity in the rate of dephosphorylation of enzyme species with one and three sodium ions bound extracellularly. Na+ bound to E2-PNa has a transmembrane effect on the cooperativity between binding of cytoplasmic Na+, and E2-PNa2 does not dephosphorylate. K0.5/Vm for cytoplasmic as well as for extracellular Na+ decreases with an increase in the trans Na+ concentration in the non-saturating concentration range. The experiments indicate that at a step in the reaction simultaneous binding of extracellular and cytoplasmic Na+ occurs.

Abstract
Different mechanistic models for potassium ion uptake are analyzed by an equilibrium-thermodynamic formalism in terms of their comparative efficiency in setting chemical potential differences of the potassium ion of different magnitudes across the plasma membrane of lower eukaryotic cells. The possible adaptive advantages for a multimode mechanism(s) operating in alternative modes depending on the physiological and/or environmental conditions of the cells are discussed.

Abstract
The effects of external Na+ on the activity of the Na+-pump are complex. The first-order rate constant for Na+-efflux is reduced in the presence of very low external Na+ concentrations, and this inhibition is reversed when the Na+ level is raised. The same pattern has been observed for Na+-ATPase activity; however, it is not apparent from the current reaction mechanisms at which site (or sites) external Na+ binds to cause inhibition. In this paper, the effect of external Na+ on Na+-pump activity was studied by simulation, using a model similar to the Post-Albers scheme. Curves similar to those experimentally observed were obtained assuming that: (i) after phosphorylation, three Na+ ions are translocated and consecutively released to the external medium with decreasing dissociation constants; (ii) external Na+, with low affinity, binds to the K+o (external) sites stimulating dephosphorylation. These assumptions also permit one to explain the experimental observation that external Na+ (with both high and low affinities) competes with K+, inhibiting the K+ influx due to the Na+-pump, and the kinetically similar behavior of Na+-ATPase and ATP/ADP exchange reactions at low variable Na+ concentrations. The experimental evidence available that supports the present hypothesis is discussed.

Abstract
In certain conditions, human red cell membranes spontaneously form inside out vesicles within 20 min after hypotonic lysis. Study of the geometry of this process now reveals that, contrary to earlier views of vesiculation by endocytosis or by the mechanical shearing of cytoskeleton-depleted membrane, lysis generates a persistent membrane edge which spontaneously curls, cuts, and splices the membrane surface to form single or concentric vesicles. Analysis of the processes by which proteins may stabilize a free membrane edge led us to formulate a novel zip-type mechanism for membrane cutting-splicing and fusion even in the absence of free edges. Such protein-led membrane fusion represents an alternative to mechanisms of membrane fusion based on phospholipid interactions, and may prove relevant to processes of secretion, endocytosis, phagocytosis, and membrane recycling in many cell types.

Abstract
Nonstationary pump currents which have been observed in K+-free Na+ media after activation of the Na,K-ATPase by an ATP-concentration jump (see the preceding paper) are analyzed on the basis of microscopic reaction models. It is shown that the behavior of the current signal at short times is governed by electrically silent reactions preceding phosphorylation of the protein; accordingly, the main information on charge-translocating processes is contained in the declining phase of the pump current. The experimental results support the Albers-Post reaction scheme of the Na,K-pump, in which the translocation of Na+ precedes translocation of K+. The transient pump current is represented as the sum of contributions of the individual transitions in the reaction cycle. Each term in the sum is the product of a net transition rate times a "dielectric coefficient" describing the amount of charge translocated in a given reaction step. Charge translocation may result from the motion of ion-binding sites in the course of conformational changes, as well as from movement of ions in access channels connecting the binding sites to the aqueous media. A likely interpretation of the observed nonstationary currents consists in the assumption that the principal electrogenic step is the E1-P/P-E2 conformational transition of the protein, followed by a release of Na+ to the extracellular side. This conclusion is supported by kinetic data from the literature, as well as on the finding that chymotrypsin treatment which is known to block the E1-P/P-E2 transition abolishes the current transient. By numerical simulation of the Albers-Post reaction cycle, the proposed mechanism of charge translocation has been shown to reproduce the experimentally observed time behavior of pump currents.

Abstract
Human erythrocyte Ca2+-translocating ATPase was solubilized from calmodulin-depleted membranes using the detergent Triton X-100, and subsequently purified by calmodulin-affinity chromatography. The purified enzyme was reconstituted in artificial phospholipid vesicles using a cholate-dialysis method and various phospholipids. The reconstituted enzyme was able to translocate Ca2+ inside the vesicles, both in the absence and in the presence of the Ca2+-chelating agent, oxalate, inside the vesicles. The tightness of coupling between ATP hydrolysis and cation translocation was investigated by the use of different ionophoretic compounds. The efficiency of Ca2+ translocation was measured by the ability of the ionophores to stimulate ATP hydrolytic activity of the reconstituted enzyme. It was found that the maximum stimulation of the ATP hydrolytic activity was induced by the electroneutral Ca2+/2H+ ionophore A23187 (9 to 10-fold). A Ca2+ ionophore unable to translocate H+, CYCLEX-2E, was less efficient in stimulating the activity of the reconstituted enzyme (two- to threefold). However, the combined addition of CYCLEX-2E plus protonophores further increased the ATP hydrolytic activity (around fourfold), whereas, the protonophores did not further stimulate ATP hydrolysis in the presence of A23187. Furthermore, in the absence of Ca2+ ionophore, the electroneutral K+(Na+)/H+ ionophoretic exchanger, monensin, stimulated the rate of ATP hydrolysis in the reconstituted enzyme two- or threefold, respectively. These results suggest that the Ca2+-ATPase not only translocates Ca2+ but also H+ in the opposite direction.

Abstract
The hydrolysis of ATP catalyzed by purified (Na,K)-ATPase from pig kidney was more sensitive to Mg2+ inhibition when measured in the presence of saturating Na+ and K+ concentrations [(Na,K)-ATPase] than in the presence of Na+ alone, either at saturating [(Na,Na)-ATPase] or limiting [(Na,0)-ATPase] Na+ concentrations. This was observed at two extreme concentrations of ATP (3 mM where the low-affinity site is involved and 3 microM where only the catalytic site is relevant), although Mg2+ inhibition was higher at low ATP concentration. In the case of (Na,Na)-ATPase activity, inhibition was barely observed even at 10 mM free Mg2+ when ATP was 3 mM. When (Na,K)-ATPase activity was measured at different fixed K+ concentrations the apparent Ki for Mg2+ inhibition was lower at higher monovalent cation concentration. When K+ was replaced by its congeners (Rb+, NH+4, Li+), Mg2+ inhibition was more pronounced in those cases in which the dephosphorylating cation forms a tighter enzyme-cation complex after dephosphorylation. This effect was independent of the ATP concentration, although inhibition was more marked at lower ATP for all the dephosphorylating cations. The K0.5 for ATP activation at its low-affinity site, when measured in the presence of different dephosphorylating cations, increased following the sequence Rb+ greater than K+ greater than NH+4 greater than Li+ greater than none. The K0.5 values were lower with 0.05 mM than with 10 mM free Mg2+ but the order was not modified. The trypsin inactivation pattern of (Na,K)-ATPase indicated that Mg2+ kept the enzyme in an E1 state. Addition of K+ changed the inactivation into that observed with the E2 enzyme form. On the other hand, K+ kept the enzyme in an E2 state and addition of Mg2+ changed it to an E1 form. The K0.5 for KCl-induced E1-to-E2 transformation (observed by trypsin inactivation profile) in the presence of 3 mM MgCl2 was about 0.9 mM. These results concur with two mechanisms for free Mg2+ inhibition of (Na,K)-ATPase: "product" and dead-end. The first would result from Mg2+ interaction with the enzyme in the E2(K) occluded state whereas the second would be brought about by a Mg2+-enzyme complex with the enzyme in an E1 state.

Abstract
(Na+ + K+)-ATPase from shark rectal glands reconstituted into lipid vesicles and oriented inside out catalyses an ouabain-sensitive Na+-Na+ exchange in the absence of intravesicular K+ when ATP is added extravesicularly. Intravesicular ouabain inhibited the exchange completely. This was also the case with digitoxigenin added to the vesicles. Intravesicular oligomycin inhibited the Na+-Na+ exchange partly in a fashion which was ATP dependent. The exchange is accompanied by a net hydrolysis of ATP with an apparent Km of 2.5 microM. ADP was found to give no stimulation of the Na+-Na+ exchange, contrarily, ADP inhibited the ATP-dependent exchange of Na+ both at optimal and supraoptimal ATP concentrations. When initial influx and efflux of 22Na was measured and the hydrolysis of ATP concomitantly determined a coupling ratio of 2.8:1.3:1 was found, i.e. 2.8 moles of Na+ were taken up (cellular efflux) and 1.3 moles of Na+ extruded (cellular influx) for each mole of ATP hydrolyzed. The electrogenic Na+-Na+ exchange generated a transmembrane potential which was measured with the fluorescent probe ANS (8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid) to be 60 mV positive inside the liposomes (extracellular).

Abstract
We have studied activation by Na or Rb ions of different transport modes of the Na-K pump, using phospholipid vesicles reconstituted with pig kidney Na-K-ATPase. The shape of the activation curves, sigmoid or quasi-hyperbolic, depends on the nature of the cation at the opposite surface and not on the specific mode of transport. ATP-dependent Na uptake into K-containing vesicles (Na-K exchange) is activated by cytoplasmic Na along a highly sigmoid curve in the absence of extracellular Na (Hill number, nH = 1.9). Activation displays progressively less-sigmoid curves as extracellular Na is raised to 150 mM (nH = 1.2). The maximal rate of the Na-K exchange is not affected. Na is not transported from the extracellular face by the pump in the presence of excess extracellular K, and the transmembrane effects of the extracellular Na are therefore 'allosteric' in nature. ATP-dependent Na-Na exchange (Lee & Blostein, 1980) and classical ATP-plus-ADP-dependent Na-Na exchange are activated by cytoplasmic Na along hyperbolic curves. ATP-dependent Na uptake into Tris-containing vesicles is activated by cytoplasmic Na along a somewhat sigmoidal curve. (ATP + Pi)-dependent Rb-Rb exchange is activated by cytoplasmic and extracellular Rb along strictly hyperbolic curves. The same applies for Rb-Rb exchange in the presence or absence of ATP or Pi alone. The presence of a high concentration of extracellular Na together with extracellular Rb induces a sigmoidal activation by cytoplasmic Rb of (ATP + Pi)-dependent Rb-Rb exchange (nH = 1.45) but does not affect the maximal rate of exchange. Slow passive Rb fluxes through the pump observed in the absence of other pump ligands (see Karlish & Stein, 1982 alpha) are activated by cytoplasmic Rb along a strictly hyperbolic curve with extracellular Rb, nH = 1.0 (Rb-Rb exchange), along a strongly sigmoid curve with extracellular Na, nH = 1.5 (Rb-Na exchange), and along less-sigmoid curves with extracellular Tris, nH = 1.24 (net Rb flux) or extracellular Li, nH = 1.2 (Rb-Li exchange). Activation of the passive Rb fluxes by extracellular Rb is hyperbolic in the presence of cytoplasmic Rb, Li or Tris but is sigmoid in the presence of cytoplasmic Na (nH = 1.36). Inhibition by cytoplasmic Na of passive Rb fluxes from the cytoplasmic to the extracellular face of the pump depends on the nature of the cation at the extracellular surface.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
The potency of local anesthetics as inhibitors of Na+, K+-ATPase and K+- NPPase activities correlated with lipid solubility. The order of potencies was: dibucaine greater than tetracaine much greater than procaine. Na+-ATPase activity was remarkably more sensitive to inhibition by tetracaine and procaine, and inhibitory potency did not correlate with lipid solubility. The order of potencies for inhibition of Na+-ATPase activity was: tetracaine greater than dibucaine greater than procaine. We examined interactions between the local anesthetics and monovalent cations in an attempt to explain this observation. Inhibition of Na+-K+-ATPase by tetracaine and dibucaine was competitive with respect to Na+, and inhibition of Na+-ATPase activity by all three agents was competitive with respect to Na+. Inhibition of Na+, K+-ATPase activity by procaine and tetracaine was competitive with respect to K+, and inhibition of K+- NPPase activity by all three agents was competitive with respect to K+. Dibucaine, the most lipid soluble agent, was equipotent as an inhibitor of all three activities and was generally less effective as a competitor with respect to activation by monovalent cations. These results suggest that dibucaine may interact nonspecifically with membrane lipids to inhibit enzyme activity whereas less lipid soluble agents, such as tetracaine and procaine, may interact more selectively with cation binding sites. It appears that the presence of K+ in the assay medium specifically decreases the inhibitory potency of tetracaine and procaine. Direct competition between these agents and K+ may prevent inhibition or, alternately, the presence of K+ may convert the enzyme to a conformation less susceptible to inhibition by agents of low to intermediate lipid solubility.

Abstract
The kinetic data of magnesium and inorganic phosphate inhibition of the (Na+,K+)-dependent ATP hydrolysis are consistent with a model where both ligands act independently and their release in the ATPase cycle is an ordered process where inorganic phosphate is released first. The effects of magnesium on the stimulation of the ATPase activity by Na+, K+ and ATP, and the inhibition of that activity by inorganic phosphate, are consistent with Mg2+ acting both as a 'product' and as a dead-end inhibitor. The dead-end Mg-enzyme complex would be produced with an enzyme form located downstream in the reaction sequence from the point where Mg2+ acts as a 'product' inhibitor. In the absence of K+, Mg2+ inhibition was reduced when either Na+ or ATP concentrations were increased well beyond those concentrations needed to saturate their high-affinity sites. This ATP effect suggests that the dead-end Mg-enzyme complex formation is affected by the speed of the E2-E1 conformational change. The present model is consistent with the formation of an Mg-phosphoenzyme complex insensitive to K+ which could become K+-sensitive in the presence of high Na+ concentrations. These Mg-enzyme complexes appear as intermediaries in the Na+-ATPase activity found in the absence of external Na+ and K+. These results can be interpreted on the basis of Mg2+ binding to a single site in the enzyme molecule. In addition, these experiments provide kinetic evidence indicating that the stimulation by external Na+ of the ATPase activity in the absence of K+ is due to a K+-like action of Na+ on the external K+ sites.

Abstract
Na+-ATPase activity is extremely sensitive to inhibition by vanadate at low Na+ concentrations where Na+ occupies only high-affinity activation sites. Na+ occupies low-affinity activation sites to reverse inhibition of Na+-ATPase and (Na+, K+)-ATPase activities by vanadate. This effect of Na+ is competitive with respect to both vanadate and Mg2+. The apparent affinity of the enzyme for vanadate is markedly increased by K+. The principal effect of K+ may be to displace Na+ from the low-affinity sites at which it activates Na+-ATPase activity.
