Abstract
Abstract Kinetic experiments were performed with preparations of kidney Na,K-ATPase in isolated membrane fragments or reconstituted in vesicles to obtain information of the activation energies under turnover conditions and for selected partial reactions of the Post-Albers pump cycle. The ion transport activities were detected with potential or conformation sensitive fluorescent dyes in steady-state or time-resolved experiments. The activation energies were derived from Arrhenius plots of measurements in the temperature range between 5 °C and 37 °C. The results were used to elaborate indications of the respective underlying rate-limiting reaction steps and allowed conclusions to be drawn about possible molecular reaction mechanisms. The observed consequent alteration between ligand-induced reaction and conformational relaxation steps when the Na,K-ATPase performs the pump cycle, together with constraints set by thermodynamic principles, provided restrictions which have to be met when mechanistic models are proposed. A model meeting such requirements is presented for discussion. Graphic Abstract ![]()

Abstract
Ion pump, Na,K-ATPase specifically binds cardiotonic steroids (CTS), which leads to inhibition of the enzyme activity and activation of signaling network in the cell. We have studied interaction of Na,K-ATPase with CTS of two different types - marinobufagenin and ouabain. We have shown that both CTS inhibit activity of Na,K-ATPase with the same Ki values, but binding of ouabain is sensitive to the conformation of Na,K-ATPase while binding of marinobufagenin is not. Furthermore, binding of ouabain and marinobufagenin results in different structural changes in Na,K-ATPase. Our data allow to explain the diversity of effects on the receptor function of Na,K-ATPase caused by different types of CTS.

Abstract
P-type ATPases are a large family of membrane proteins that perform active ion transport across biological membranes. In these proteins the energy-providing ATP hydrolysis is coupled to ion-transport that builds up or maintains the electrochemical potential gradients of one or two ion species across the membrane. P-type ATPases are found in virtually all eukaryotic cells and also in bacteria, and they are transporters of a broad variety of ions. So far, a crystal structure with atomic resolution is available only for one species, the SR Ca-ATPase. However, biochemical and biophysical studies provide an abundance of details on the function of this class of ion pumps. The aim of this review is to summarize the results of preferentially biophysical investigations of the three best-studied ion pumps, the Na,K-ATPase, the gastric H,K-ATPase, and the SR Ca-ATPase, and to compare functional properties to recent structural insights with the aim of contributing to the understanding of their structure-function relationship.

Abstract
Na+,K+-ATPase is a heterodimer of alpha and beta subunits and a member of the P-type ATPase family of ion pumps. Here we present an 11-A structure of the heterodimer determined from electron micrographs of unstained frozen-hydrated tubular crystals. For this reconstruction, the enzyme was isolated from supraorbital glands of salt-adapted ducks and was crystallized within the native membranes. Crystallization conditions fixed Na+,K+-ATPase in the vanadate-inhibited E2 conformation, and the crystals had p1 symmetry. A large number of helical symmetries were observed, so a three-dimensional structure was calculated by averaging both Fourier-Bessel coefficients and real-space structures of data from the different symmetries. The resulting structure clearly reveals cytoplasmic, transmembrane, and extracellular regions of the molecule with densities separately attributable to alpha and beta subunits. The overall shape bears a remarkable resemblance to the E2 structure of rabbit sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase. After aligning these two structures, atomic coordinates for Ca2+-ATPase were fit to Na+,K+-ATPase, and several flexible surface loops, which fit the map poorly, were associated with sequences that differ in the two pumps. Nevertheless, cytoplasmic domains were very similarly arranged, suggesting that the E2-to-E1 conformational change postulated for Ca2+-ATPase probably applies to Na+,K+-ATPase as well as other P-type ATPases.

Abstract
ATP hydrolysis by Na+/K+-ATPase proceeds via the interaction of simultaneously existing and cooperating high (E1ATP) and low (E2ATP) substrate binding sites. It is unclear whether both ATP sites reside on the same or on different catalytic alpha-subunits. To answer this question, we looked for a fluorescent label for the E2ATP site that would be suitable for distance measurements by Förster energy transfer after affinity labeling of the E1ATP site by fluorescein 5'-isothiocyanate (FITC). Erythrosin 5'-isothiocyanate (ErITC) inactivated, in an E1ATP site-blocked enzyme (by FITC), the residual activity of the E2ATP site, namely K+-activated p-nitrophenylphosphatase in a concentration-dependent way that was ATP-protectable. The molar ratios of FITC/alpha-subunit of 0.6 and of ErITC/alpha-subunit of 0.48 indicate 2 ATP sites per (alpha beta)2 diprotomer. Measurements of Förster energy transfer between the FITC-labeled E1ATP and the ErITC-labeled or Co(NH3)4ATP-inactivated E2ATP sites gave a distance of 6.45 +/- 0.64 nm. This distance excludes 2 ATP sites per alpha-subunit since the diameter of alpha is 4-5 nm. Förster energy transfer between cardiac glycoside binding sites labeled with anthroylouabain and fluoresceinylethylenediamino ouabain gave a distance of 4.9 +/- 0.5 nm. Hence all data are consistent with the hypothesis that Na+/K+-ATPase in cellular membranes is an (alpha beta)2 diprotomer and works as a functional dimer (Thoenges, D., and Schoner, W. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 16315-16321).

Abstract
The kinetics of Na(+)-dependent partial reactions of the Na+,K(+)-ATPase from rabbit kidney were investigated via the stopped-flow technique, using the fluorescent labels N-(4-sulfobutyl)-4-(4-(p-(dipentylamino)phenyl)butadienyl)py ridinium inner salt (RH421) and 5-iodoacetamidofluorescein (5-IAF). When covalently labeled 5-IAF enzyme is mixed with ATP, the two labels give almost identical kinetic responses. Under the chosen experimental conditions two exponential time functions are necessary to fit the data. The dominant fast phase, 1/tau 1 approximately 155 s-1 for 5-IAF-labeled enzyme and 1/tau 1 approximately 200 s-1 for native enzyme (saturating [ATP] and [Na+], pH 7.4 and 24 degrees C), is attributed to phosphorylation of the enzyme and a subsequent conformational change (E1ATP(Na+)3-->E2P(Na+)3 + ADP). The smaller amplitude slow phase, 1/tau 2 = 30-45 s-1, is attributed to the relaxation of the dephosphorylation/rephosphorylation equilibrium in the absence of K+ ions (E2P<==>E2). The Na+ concentration dependence of 1/tau 1 showed half-saturation at a Na+ concentration of 6-8 mM, with positive cooperatively involved in the occupation of the Na+ binding sites. The apparent dissociation constant of the high-affinity ATP-binding site determined from the ATP concentration dependence of 1/tau 1 was 8.0 (+/- 0.7) microM. It was found that P3-1-(2-nitrophenyl)ethyl ATP, tripropylammonium salt (NPE-caged ATP), at concentrations in the hundreds of micromolar range, significantly decreases the value of 1/tau 1, observed. This, as well as the biexponential nature of the kinetic traces, can account for previously reported discrepancies in the rates of the reactions investigated.

Abstract
This paper examines the transient kinetics of substrate binding to the Na+/K(+)-ATPase labelled with iodoacetamidofluorescein (IAF) using fluorescence quenching by trinitrophenyl-ATP (TNP-ATP). Earlier work (E.H. Hellen, P.R. Pratap, 1996, Fluorescence quenching of IAF-Na+/K(+)-ATPase via energy transfer to TNP-labelled nucleotide, Proceedings of the VIIIth International Conference on the Na+/K(+)-ATPase, in press) has shown that TNP-nucleotide binds to specific sites (from which unlabelled nucleotide can displace it) and nonspecific sites (from which unlabelled nucleotide cannot displace it). Under stopped-flow conditions, quenching of IAF-enzyme fluorescence was well described by a stretched exponential (F(t) = F infinity + delta F exp[-Bt alpha]). Physically, this function may be interpreted in terms of its inverse Laplace transform phi (k), which describes a distribution of rate-constants; alpha reflects the width of this distribution. As TNP-ATP concentration increased, alpha decreased, reflecting TNP-ATP binding to sites with higher energy barriers. alpha decreased by about the same amount with increasing [TNP-ATP] in the presence of saturating ATP, indicating that the distribution of rate-constants is largely associated with the nonspecific binding sites. However, alpha was significantly less than 1 for ATP-induced fluorescence recovery in the presence of TNP-ATP, indicating that rate-constants associated with specific binding site are also distributed. The distribution of rate-constants for binding to the specific site indicates a distribution in the energy of the transition state for substrate binding. These results suggest that the specific binding site (in either the empty or the full state) may exist in a series of conformations separated by small energy barriers. However, the energy barriers for binding associated with these conformations are significantly distributed.

Abstract
Nucleotide binding to 5-iodoacetamidofluorescein (IAF) labelled Na+/K(+)-ATPase was measured by steady state fluorescence quenching of the fluorescein label via energy transfer to trinitrophenyl (TNP) labelled nucleotide. TNP-nucleotides are valuable probes of nucleotide binding to ATPases. Interpretation of these and other experiments in our laboratory using TNP-nucleotides with the Na+/K(+)-ATPase rely on having a good model for the interaction of TNP-nucleotide with the enzyme. Sets of fluorescence quenching curves obtained by titrating the enzyme with TNP-ADP in the presence of various concentrations of ADP could not be adequately modelled using a simple model with a single nucleotide binding site. Therefore, we compare various models which allow for additional TNP-nucleotide binding to the enzyme. In the two-site model, the additional binding is to a second specific site for which TNP-nucleotide and unlabelled nucleotide compete. In two other models, the additional binding (in one case saturable, and in the other case non-saturable) of TNP-nucleotide is not blocked by or affected by unlabelled nucleotide, and is, therefore, referred to as non-specific binding of the TNP-nucleotide. The goal of this work is to determine which of the distinctly different physical pictures associated with these models most accurately describes the interaction of TNP-nucleotide with the enzyme. We find that the interaction of TNP-ADP with IAF-labelled Na+/K(+)-ATPase is best described by a model in which there are two classes of binding: TNP-ADP and ADP compete for a specific binding site with dissociation binding constants of 0.13 microM for TNP-ADP and 2.0 microM for ADP; and non-saturable non-specific binding of TNP-ADP.

Abstract
The Na+/K(+)-ATPase couples the hydrolysis of ATP to the transport of Na+ and K+ via a phosphorylated intermediate and conformational changes. In order to identify these conformational changes, we have probed the sequence of steps from EP(3Na+ in) to EP + 3Na+ out with three fluorescent probes (IAF: 5-iodoacetamidofluorescein; BIPM: N-[p-(2-benzimidazolyl)phenyl]maleimide; and RH421) and the sensitivity of their fluorescence change to oligomycin and divalent cations (Ca2+ and Mn2+). The magnitude (% delta F) and rate constant (k(obs)) of ATP-induced fluorescence changes were measured on a fluorescence stopped-flow apparatus, and yielded the following results. (a) With RH421, k(obs) and % delta F varied with [Na+] (maximal k(obs) = 100 s-1, K1/2 = 6 mM; % delta Fmax = 6%, K1/2 = 1 mM); these values are comparable to those previously reported using IAF-labeled enzyme (Pratap, P.R., Robinson, J.D. and Steinberg, M.I. (1991) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1069, 288-298). (b) With BIPM-labeled enzyme k(obs) did not vary with [Na+] over the range tested, and was twice as high as the maximum k(obs) for RH421. (c) Treatment with oligomycin reduced k(obs) for all three probes to about the same level (approximately 1-2 s-1) while % delta Fmax was largely unaffected. (d) Replacing Mg2+ with Ca2+ had similar effects to treatment with oligomycin. (e) RH421 fluorescence change was completely abolished in the presence of oligomycin and Ca2+. (f) Replacing Mg2+ with Mn2+ decreased IAF fluorescence, i.e., put the enzyme in an E2-like form, reduced k(obs), and rendered oligomycin less effective in reducing k(obs). From these results, we conclude: (a) the release of the second/third Na+ is the rate-limiting step for the conformational change measured by IAF and charge transfer measured with RH421; (b) BIPM indicates an earlier step, either the deocclusion of Na+ and/or the release of the first Na+; (c) oligomycin blocks Na+ deocclusion, and this step is sensitive to the divalent cation used to activate enzyme phosphorylation; and (d) Ca2+ slows the step reported by IAF as well. These experiments indicate that a simple model with two conformations (E1 and E2) is insufficient to explain transient kinetic data.

Abstract
The energy dependent exchange of cytoplasmic Na+ for extracellular K+ in mammalian cells is due to a membrane bound enzyme system, the Na,K-ATPase. The exchange sustains a gradient for Na+ into and for K+ out of the cell, and this is used as an energy source for creation of the membrane potential, for its de- and repolarisation, for regulation of cytoplasmic ionic composition and for transepithelial transport. The Na,K-ATPase consists of two membrane spanning polypeptides, an alpha-subunit of 112-kD and a beta-subunit, which is a glycoprotein of 35-kD. The catalytic properties are associated with the alpha-subunit, which has the binding domain for ATP and the cations. In the review, attention will be given to the biochemical characterization of the reaction mechanism underlying the coupling between hydrolysis of the substate ATP and transport of Na+ and K+.

Abstract
Conformational changes between E1 and E2 enzyme forms of a dog kidney Na+/K(+)-ATPase preparation labeled with 5-iodoacetamidofluorescein were followed with a stopped-flow fluorimeter, in terms of the rate constant, kobs, and the steady-state magnitude, % delta F of fluorescence change. On rapid mixing of enzyme plus Mg2+ plus Na+ with saturating (0.5 mM) ATP in the absence of K+, kobs varied with Na+ concentration in the range 0-155 mM, with a K1/2 of 10 mM, while % delta F was relatively insensitive to Na+, with a K1/2 of 0.5 mM. Oligomycin reduced kobs by 98-99% for Na+ greater than or equal to 10 mM, but only by 50% for Na+ = 1 mM; % delta F was reduced at most by 20%. At 155 mM Na+, both kobs and % delta F changed if K+ was present with the enzyme. kobs decreased by 50% when K+ was increased from 0 to 0.2 mM, but increased when K+ was varied in the range 0.2-5 mM. K+ increased % delta F by a factor of 3 with a K1/2 of 0.3-0.5 mM as measured in both stopped-flow and steady-state experiments. These data are considered in terms of the derived presteady-state equations for two alternate schemes for the enzyme, with the E1P to E2P conformational change either preceding (Albers-Post) or following (Nørby-Yoda-Skou) Na+ transport and release. The analysis indicates that: (i) Na+ must be released before the conformational transition, from an E1 form; (ii) the step in which the second and/or third Na+ is released is rate-limiting, but this release is accelerated by Na+; and (iii) the release is also accelerated by K+ acting with low affinity (possibly at extracellular sites).

Abstract
Membrane fragments containing a high density of Na,K-ATPase can be noncovalently labeled with amphiphilic styryl dyes (e.g., RH 421). Phosphorylation of the Na,K-ATPase by ATP in the presence of Na+ and in the absence of K+ leads to a large increase of the fluorescence of RH 421 (up to 100%). In this paper evidence is presented that the styryl dye mainly responds to changes of the electric field strength in the membrane, resulting from charge movements during the pumping cycle: (i) The spectral characteristic of the ATP-induced dye response essentially agrees with the predictions for an electrochromic shift of the absorption peak. (ii) Adsorption of lipophilic anions to Na,K-ATPase membranes leads to an increase, adsorption of lipophilic cations to the decrease of dye fluorescence. These ions are known to bind to the hydrophobic interior of the membrane and to change the electric field strength in the boundary layer close to the interface. (iii) The fluorescence change that is normally observed upon phosphorylation by ATP is abolished at high concentrations of lipophilic ions. Lipophilic ions are thought to redistribute between the adsorption sites and water and to neutralize in this way the change of field strength caused by ion translocation in the pump protein. (iv) Changes of the fluorescence of RH 421 correlate with known electrogenic transitions in the pumping cycle, whereas transitions that are known to be electrically silent do not lead to fluorescence changes. The information obtained from experiments with amphiphilic styryl dyes is complementary to the results of electrophysiological investigations in which pump currents are measured as a function of transmembrane voltage. In particular, electrochromic dyes can be used for studying electrogenic processes in microsomal membrane preparations which are not amenable to electrophysiological techniques.

Abstract
6-carboxy-eosin is introduced as a sensitive, non-covalently bound fluorescent probe for monitoring conformational changes in detergent-solubilized Na,K-ATPase. The dissociation constant for 6-carboxy-eosin is about 0.1 microM in 20 mM NaCl at 6 degrees C (pH 7.0) for Na,K-ATPase solubilized in C12E8. It is shown that the slow conformational change from E2 (in K+) to E1 (in Na+) is 4-fold more rapid in the solubilized state than in the membrane-bound state, both for shark rectal gland and pig kidney Na,K-ATPase. The rate of the E1 to E2 transition is rapid and of the same order of magnitude both for the membrane-bound and the solubilized enzyme. All conformational transitions are considerably slower for pig kidney enzyme than for shark enzyme, both in the membrane-bound and in the solubilized state.

Abstract
A conformational transition between E2 and E1 forms of Na, K-ATPase induced by different nucleotides has been studied under steady state conditions using the enzyme labelled with 5-iodoacetamidofluorescein. In the presence of K+ the plot of fluorescence as a function of [ATP], [ADP] or [CTP] (in a range of 5 microM-12 mM) is a biphasic one. A similar dependence for AMP, ITP, GTP and UTP demonstrates a hyperbolic behaviour. The data suggest that the shift in the equilibrium between E2 and E1 forms of Na,K-ATPase towards the E1 conformation is induced by ATP binding both with high and low affinity sites. Two structural features of ATP are apparently important for its interaction with more than one type of ATP binding sites or for providing for E2-E1 transition induced by this interaction: (i) beta-phosphate group in the terminal part of the molecule, (ii) unprotonated N1 and/or NH2-group in the 6th position of the purine base.

Abstract
Chemical modification of specific residues in enzymes, with the characterization of the type of inhibition and properties of the modified activity, is an established approach in structure-function studies of proteins. This strategy has become more productive in recent years with the advances made in obtaining primary sequence information from gene-cloning technologies. This article discusses the application of chemical modification procedures to the study of the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase protein. A wide array of information has become available about the kinetics, enzyme structure, and various conformational states as a result of the combined use of inhibitors, ligands, modifiers, and proteolytic enzymes. We will review a variety of reagents and approaches that have been employed to arrive at structure-function correlates and discuss critically the limits and ambiguities in the type of information obtained from these methodologies. Chemical modification of the Na(+)-pump protein has already provided a body of data and will, we anticipate, guide the efforts of mutagenesis studies in the future when suitable expression systems become available.

Abstract
The electrogenic properties of the Na,K-ATPase were studied by correlating transient electrical events in the pump molecule with conformational transitions elicited by an ATP-concentration jump. Flat membrane fragments containing a high density (approximately 8000 microm(-2)) of oriented Na,K-ATPase molecules were bound to a planar lipid bilayer acting as a capacitive electrode. ATP was released in the medium from a photolabile inactive ATP derivative ("caged" ATP) by a 40-microsec light flash. Electrical signals resulting from transient charge movements in the protein under single-turnover conditions were recorded in the external measuring circuit. In parallel experiments carried out under virtually identical conditions, the fluorescence of membrane fragments containing Na,K-ATPase with covalently-bound 5-iodoacetamido-fluorescein (5-IAF) was monitored after the ATP-concentration jump. When the medium contained Na+, but no K+, the fluorescence of the 5-IAF-labeled protein decreases monotonously after release of ATP. In the experiments with membrane fragments bound to a planar bilayer, a transient pump current was observed which exhibited virtually the same time behavior as the fluorescence decay. This indicates that optical and electrical transients are governed by the same rate-limiting reaction step. Experiments with chymotrypsin-modified Na,K-ATPase suggest that both the fluorescence change as well as the charge movement are associated with the deocclusion of Na+ and release to the extracellular side. In experiments with Na+-free K+ media, a large inverse fluorescence change is observed after the ATP-concentration jump, but no charge translocation can be detected. This indicates that deocclusion of K+ is an electrically silent process.

Abstract
1. It is now widely believed that the main rate-limiting step in the sodium-potassium pump (Na, K-ATPase) cycle is a conformational change between two forms of the dephosphoenzyme (E2 and E1) and that this change releases to the cell interior potassium ions occluded within the E2 form. 2. If this hypothesis is correct, and if occluded ions cannot be released directly from dephosphoenzyme in the E2 conformation, we should expect that, under any given conditions, the rate of release of the occluded ions would be identical with the rate of the conformational change. 3. Using the potassium congeners 86Rb, 137Cs and 204Tl, the rates of release of the occluded ions can be measured by a rapid ion-exchange technique. Using the fluorescence probes fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), eosin or 5-iodoacetamido-fluorescein (5-IAF), the rates of the conformational change can be measured by stopped-flow fluorimetry. 4. A comparison of the two rates in the absence of ATP showed that the rate of release of the occluded ions was usually somewhat faster than the rate of the fluorescence change. The discrepancy was probably caused by a very slow direct release of occluded ions from enzyme in the E2 form, but we cannot exclude the possibility that it is the result of systematic errors. In the presence of 5 microM-ATP, both rates were increased and there was no significant difference between them. 5. The results are compatible with the hypothesis that the same conformational change alters the fluorescence of the fluorescent probes and releases the occluded potassium congener ions.

Abstract
The nucleotide specificity for the E2K----E1K conformational transition in (Na+ + K+)-ATPase as the key step for overall hydrolytic activity and coupled cation transport has been investigated. Use has been made of tryptic inactivation, which is biexponential in time for the enzyme in the presence of Na+ with or without nucleotides (E1 conformation) and monoexponential in the presence of K+ (E2 conformation). ATP, AdoPP[NH]P and CTP in order of decreasing effectivity induce the biphasic tryptic inactivation pattern in the presence of K+. Their order of effectivity is inversely related to the rate constant of the second (slow) phase of inactivation. In the presence of K+ and either ITP or GTP tryptic inactivation remains monoexponential, indicating that these nucleotides cannot drive the E2K----E1K transition. Tryptic inactivation has been compared with tryptic fragmentation of the alpha-subunit (apparent mol. wt. 94 kDa) of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. In the E1 conformation (Na+ present) a 71 kDa fragment is formed during the second phase of inactivation. In the E2 conformation (K+ present) the alpha-subunit is split to fragments of 41 and 52 kDa. In the presence of K+ and ATP, ADP, AdoPP[NH]P or CTP the 71 kDa fragment is formed in amounts which decrease in the order ATP approximately equal to ADP greater than AdoPP[NH]P greater than CTP. In the presence of K+ and AMP, ITP or GTP the 71 kDa fragment is absent and only the E2 fragments are formed. From these and literature data we arrive at a specificity order for the E2K----E1K transition of ATP greater than ADP greater than AdoPP[NH]P greater than CTP greater than ITP = GTP = AMP. The same order holds for K+ transport in the K+-K+ exchange and for overall hydrolytic activity (Na+ + K+ present) with the natural nucleoside triphosphates as substrates. This marks the E2K----E1K transition as the step in the reaction mechanism that determines nucleotide specificity for (Na+ + K+)-activated hydrolysis and coupled cation transport.

Abstract
Eosin has been used as a fluorescent probe for studying conformational states in (K+ + H+)-ATPase. The eosin fluorescence level is increased by Mg2+ (K0.5 = 0.2 mM). This increase is counteracted by K+ (I0.5 = 1.3 mM) and choline (I0.5 = 17.2 mM) and by ATP. Binding studies with eosin indicate that the increase and decrease in fluorescence is due to changes in binding of eosin to the enzyme. The Mg2+-induced specific binding has a Kd of 0.7 microM and a maximal capacity of 3.5 nmol per mg enzyme, which is equivalent to 2.5 site per phosphorylation site. These experiments and the fact that eosin competitively inhibits (K+ + H+)-ATPase towards ATP, suggest that eosin binds to ATP binding sites.

Abstract
ATP and GTP have been compared as substrates for (Na+ + K+)-ATPase in Na+-activated hydrolysis, Na+-activated phosphorylation, and the E2K----E1K transition. Without added K+ the optimal Na+-activated hydrolysis rates in imidazole-HCl (pH 7.2) are equal, but are reached at different Na+ concentrations: 80 mM Na+ for GTP, 300 mM Na+ for ATP. The affinities of the substrates for the enzyme are widely different: Km for ATP 0.6 microM, for GTP 147 microM. The Mg-complexed nucleotides antagonize activation as well as inhibition by Na+, depending on the affinity and concentration of the substrate. The optimal 3-s phosphorylation levels in imidazole-HCl (pH 7.0) are equally high for the two substrates (3.6 nmol/mg protein). The Km value for ATP is 0.1-0.2 microM and for GTP it ranges from 50 to 170 microM, depending on the Na+ concentration. The affinity of Na+ for the enzyme in phosphorylation is lower with the lower affinity substrate: Km (Na+) is 1.1 mM with ATP and 3.6 mM with GTP. The GTP-phosphorylated intermediate exists, like the ATP-phosphorylated intermediate, in the E2P conformation. Addition of K+ increases the optimal hydrolytic activity 30-fold for ATP (at 100 mM Na+ + 10 mM K+) and 2-fold for GTP (at 100 mM Na+ + 0.16 mM K+). K+ greatly increases the Km values for both substrates (to 430 microM for ATP and 320 microM for GTP). Above 0.16 mM K+ inhibits GTP hydrolysis. GTP does not reverse the quenching effect of K+ on the fluorescence of the 5-iodoacetamidofluorescein-labeled enzyme. ATP fully reverses this effect, which represents the transition from E1K to E2K. Hence GTP is unable to drive the E2K----E1K transition.
