Abstract
Since the beginning of investigations of the Na,K-ATPase, it has been well-known that Mg2+ is an essential cofactor for activation of enzymatic ATP hydrolysis without being transported through the cell membrane. Moreover, experimental evidence has been collected through the years that shows that Mg2+ ions have a regulatory effect on ion transport by interacting with the cytoplasmic side of the ion pump. Our experiments allowed us to reveal the underlying mechanism. Mg2+ is able to bind to a site outside the membrane domain of the protein's α subunit, close to the entrance of the access channel to the ion-binding sites, thus modifying the local concentration of the ions in the electrolyte, of which Na+, K+, and H+ are of physiological interest. The decrease in the concentration of these cations can be explained by electrostatic interaction and estimated by the Debye-Hückel theory. This effect provokes the observed apparent reduction of the binding affinity of the binding sites of the Na,K-ATPase in the presence of various Mg2+ concentrations. The presence of the bound Mg2+, however, does not affect the reaction kinetics of the transport function of the ion pump. Therefore, stopped-flow experiments could be performed to gain the first insight into the Na+ binding kinetics on the cytoplasmic side by Mg2+ concentration jump experiments.

Abstract
Ventricular arrhythmia is the leading cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Deranged cardiac metabolism and abnormal redox state during cardiac diseases foment arrhythmogenic substrates through direct or indirect modulation of cardiac ion channel/transporter function. This review presents current evidence on the mechanisms linking metabolic derangement and excessive oxidative stress to ion channel/transporter dysfunction that predisposes to ventricular arrhythmias and SCD. Because conventional antiarrhythmic agents aiming at ion channels have proven challenging to use, targeting arrhythmogenic metabolic changes and redox imbalance may provide novel therapeutics to treat or prevent life-threatening arrhythmias and SCD.

Abstract
KdpFABC complexes were reconstituted in Escherichia coli lipid vesicles, and ion pumping was activated by addition of ATP to the external medium which corresponds to the cytoplasm under physiological conditions. ATP-driven potassium extrusion was studied in the presence of various substrates potentially influencing transport rate. The pump current was detected as a decrease of the membrane potential by the voltage-sensitive dye DiSC3(5). The results indicate that high cytoplasmic K(+) concentrations have an inhibitory effect on the KdpFABC complex. The pump current decreased to ∼25% of the maximal value at 140 mM K(+) and minimal Mg(2+)concentrations. This effect could be counteracted with increased Mg(2+) concentrations on the cytoplasmic side. This observation may be explained by the Gouy-Chapman effect of two Mg(2+) ions probably bound with a K1/2 of 0.8 mM close to the entrance of the access channel to the binding sites. This factor ensures that under physiological conditions the rate-limiting effect of K(+) release is significantly reduced. Also both ADP and inorganic phosphate are able to reduce the turnover rate of the pump by reversing the phosphorylation step (Ki of 151 μM) and the dephosphorylation step (Ki of 268 μM), respectively. In the case of the DDM-solubilized KdpFABC complex, activation energy under turnover conditions was previously found to be 55 kJ/mol, and the o-vanadate inhibition constant is shown here to be ∼1 μM, which is in agreement with values reported for other P-type ATPases. In the case of the reconstituted enzyme, however, significant differences were observed that have to be assigned to effects of the lipid bilayer environment. The activation energy was increased by a factor of 2, whereas the inhibition by o-vanadate became reduced in a way that only ∼66% of the enzyme could be inhibited and the inhibition constant was increased to a value of ∼60 μM.

Abstract
Cells must continuously monitor and couple their metabolic requirements for ATP utilization with their ability to take up O2 for mitochondrial respiration. When O2 uptake and delivery move out of homeostasis, cells have elaborate and diverse sensing and response systems to compensate. In this review, we explore the biophysics of O2 and gas diffusion in the cell, how intracellular O2 is regulated, how intracellular O2 levels are sensed and how sensing systems impact mitochondrial respiration and shifts in metabolic pathways. Particular attention is paid to how O2 affects the redox state of the cell, as well as the NO, H2S, and CO concentrations. We also explore how these agents can affect various aspects of gas exchange and activate acute signaling pathways that promote survival. Two kinds of challenges to gas exchange are also discussed in detail: when insufficient O2 is available for respiration (hypoxia) and when metabolic requirements test the limits of gas exchange (exercising skeletal muscle). This review also focuses on responses to acute hypoxia in the context of the original "unifying theory of hypoxia tolerance" as expressed by Hochachka and colleagues. It includes discourse on the regulation of mitochondrial electron transport, metabolic suppression, shifts in metabolic pathways, and recruitment of cell survival pathways preventing collapse of membrane potential and nuclear apoptosis. Regarding exercise, the issues discussed relate to the O2 sensitivity of metabolic rate, O2 kinetics in exercise, and influences of available O2 on glycolysis and lactate production.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the relationships between the concentrations of ATP, ADP, AMP (HPLC methods), total nucleotide pool (TAN), adenylate energy charge (AEC) and Na(+), K(+)-ATPase erythrocytic activities (by Choi's method) of horses as a function of breed and sex. The studies were conducted on 54 horses (stallions and mares) of different constitution types: breathing constitution (Wielkopolska and Hanoverian breed) and digestive constitution (Ardenian breed). Horse erythrocytes, independently of examined breed, present low ATP concentration in comparison to other mammal species while retaining relatively high AEC. Erythrocytes of breathing constitution type horses appear to have a more intensive glucose metabolism and a more efficient energetic metabolism when compared to digestive constitution type horses. The conclusions may be proven by significantly higher ATP concentration, higher TAN and significantly higher AEC in breathing constitution type horses compared to the digestive constitution type. Sex does not significantly influence adenine nucleotides concentration in the erythrocytes of the examined horses, however, stallions have slightly higher values in comparison to mares. A positive correlation was found between Na(+), K(+), -ATPase activity, ATP, ADP and AMP concentration and TAN in Wielkopolska and Ardenian breeds, which was not confirmed for the Hanoverian breed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cardiac myocytes utilize three high-capacity Na transport processes whose precise function can determine myocyte fate and the triggering of arrhythmias in pathological settings. We present recent results on the regulation of all three transporters that may be important for an understanding of cardiac function during ischemia/reperfusion episodes. METHODS AND RESULTS Refined ion selective electrode (ISE) techniques and giant patch methods were used to analyze the function of cardiac Na/K pumps, Na/Ca exchange (NCX1), and Na/H exchange (NHE1) in excised cardiac patches and intact myocytes. To consider results cohesively, simulations were developed that account for electroneutrality of the cytoplasm, ion homeostasis, water homeostasis (i.e., cell volume), and cytoplasmic pH. The Na/K pump determines the average life-time of Na ions (3-10 minutes) as well as K ions (>30 minutes) in the cytoplasm. The long time course of K homeostasis can determine the time course of myocyte volume changes after ion homeostasis is perturbed. In excised patches, cardiac Na/K pumps turn on slowly (-30 seconds) with millimolar ATP dependence, when activated for the first time. In steady state, however, pumps are fully active with <0.2 mM ATP and are nearly unaffected by high ADP (2 mM) and Pi (10 mM) concentrations as may occur in ischemia. NCX1s appear to operate with slippage that contributes to background Na influx and inward current in heart. Thus, myocyte Na levels may be regulated by the inactivation reactions of the exchanger which are both Na- and proton-dependent. NHE1 also undergo strong Na-dependent inactivation, whereby a brief rise of cytoplasmic Na can cause inactivation that persists for many minutes after cytoplasmic Na is removed. This mechanism is blocked by pertussis toxin, suggesting involvement of a Na-dependent G-protein. Given that maximal NCX1- and NHE1-mediated ion fluxes are much greater than maximal Na/K pump-mediated Na extrusion in myocytes, the Na-dependent inactivation mechanisms of NCX1 and NHE1 may be important determinants of cardiac Na homeostasis. CONCLUSIONS Na/K pumps appear to be optimized to continue operation when energy reserves are compromised. Both NCX1 and NHE1 activities are regulated by accumulation of cytoplasmic Na. These principles may importantly control cardiac cytoplasmic Na and promote myocyte survival during ischemia/reperfusion episodes by preventing Ca overload.

Abstract
In this paper, the reconstitution of Na,K-ATPase in liposomes (formed by single or mixed phospholipids and cholesterol) was investigated and the enzyme orientation was determined on kinetic basis using only specific inhibitors of ATP hydrolysis. A condition of foremost importance for enzyme reconstitution is the achievement of complete solubilization of the lipid in the initial stage of the cosolubilization process for the subsequent formation of the liposomes and/or proteoliposomes. PC-liposomes showed that increasing the fatty acid chain length increases the percentage of Na,K-ATPase incorporated. The average diameter of the proteoliposomes also increases in proportion, reaching a maximum with phospholipids with 16 carbon chains, resulting in 75.1% protein reconstitution and 319.4 nm diameter size, respectively. Binary lipid systems with PC and PE were efficient for incorporation of Na,K-ATPase, depending on the lipid:protein ratio used, varying from 15 to 80% recovery of total ATPase activity. The best results for Na,K-ATPase reconstitution using PC and PE mixture were obtained using a lipid:lipid ratio 1:1 (w/w) and lipid:protein 1:3 (w/w). Integrity studies using calcein release mediated by detergent or alamethicin, in association with inhibition of ATPase activity (ouabain and vanadate) showed that the enzyme is oriented inside-out in DPPC:DPPE proteoliposomes. In these vesicular systems, the enzyme is reconstituted with about 78.9% ATPase activity recovery and 89% protein incorporation, with an average diameter of 140 nm. Systems constituted by DPPC:DPPE, DPPC:DLOPE or DLOPC:DLOPE showed approximately 80, 71 and 70% of recovery of total ATPase activity, but no homogeneity in the distribution of Na,K-ATPase orientation. Reconstitution of Na,K-ATPase in DPPC:DPPE:cholesterol or DPPC:DLOPE:cholesterol systems (55% of cholesterol) showed recovery of about 86 and 82%, respectively, of its total ATPase activity. The results point to an important effect of the lipid acyl chain length and lipid-protein ratio in relation to the composition of the lipid matrix to finely tune the structural asymmetry and the amount of enzyme that can be incorporated a lipid bilayer vesicle while preserving membrane permeability.

Abstract
Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation was used in a reanalysis of the longitudinal data obtained by Harris et al. (J Cereb Blood Flow Metab 20:28-36) in a study of the direct current (DC) potential and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) responses to focal ischemia. The main purpose was to provide a formal analysis of the temporal relationship between the ADC and DC responses, to explore the possible involvement of a common latent (driving) process. A Bayesian nonlinear hierarchical random coefficients model was adopted. DC and ADC transition parameter posterior probability distributions were generated using three parallel Markov chains created using the Metropolis algorithm. Particular attention was paid to the within-subject differences between the DC and ADC time course characteristics. The results show that the DC response is biphasic, whereas the ADC exhibits monophasic behavior, and that the two DC components are each distinguishable from the ADC response in their time dependencies. The DC and ADC changes are not, therefore, driven by a common latent process. This work demonstrates a general analytical approach to the multivariate, longitudinal data-processing problem that commonly arises in stroke and other biomedical research.

Abstract
Experimental evidence indicates a metabolic basis of contraction-perfusion coupling during an increase in cardiac work load. This study aims to characterize adjustment of myocardial energy metabolism in response to acute low flow ischemia (LFI), and to determine its involvement in perfusion-contraction coupling. Intracellular parameters were measured in isolated rat hearts by NMR spectroscopy and biochemical methods during 30 min of graded LFI and reperfusion as compared to continuous perfusion (control). Oxygen pressure was set to reach maximal oxygen extraction at 70% coronary flow rate (CFR), therefore oxygen limitation was proportional to coronary underperfusion. At 69, 38 and 10% CFR left ventricular pressures decreased to 71, 43 and 25% of pre-ischemic values respectively (P<0.005 v 97% in control) without an increase in diastolic tone, and recovered to 92+/-3% after 30 min of reperfusion. Despite hydrolysis of high energy phosphates and cellular acidification, ADP concentrations were stable in underperfused hearts. At 69, 38 and 10% CFR, cytosolic phosphorylation potentials (PP) decreased from 74+/-10 m M(-1)during pre-ischemia to 40+/-6, 25+/-4 and 14+/-4 m M(-1)respectively (P<0.05 v 63+/-9 m M(-1)in control), and lactate efflux increased to 256+/-18, 386+/-22 and 490+/-43 micromol /gdw respectively (P<0.005 v 186+/-22 micromol/gdw in control). Glycogen contents decreased (P<0.005 v control) and accounted for 27-30% of lactate efflux. These results indicate: (a) proportionate depression of contraction force and glycogen contents, and increased glucose uptake and anaerobic energy production in the underperfused myocardium. Coordinated modulation of these parameters attributes cytosolic PP a regulatory function; (b) resetting of cytosolic PP to lower levels mediates perfusion-contraction coupling during graded LFI. The data are consistent with the concept that glycolytic energy production improves myocardial tolerance to ischemia.

Abstract
The role of the Na+/H+ exchanger in rat hearts during ischemia and reperfusion was investigated by measurements of intracellular Na+ concentration ([Na+]i) and intracellular and extracellular pH. Under our standard conditions (2-Hz stimulation), 10 min of ischemia caused no significant rise in [Na+]i but an acidosis of 1.0 pH unit, suggesting that the Na+/H+ exchanger was inactive during ischemia. This was confirmed by showing that the Na+/H+ exchange inhibitor methylisobutyl amiloride (MIA) had no effect on [Na+]i or on intracellular pH during ischemia. However, there was a short-lived increase in [Na+]i of 8.2 +/- 0.6 mM on reperfusion, which was reduced by MIA, showing that the Na+/H+ exchanger became active on reperfusion. To investigate the role of metabolic changes, we measured [Na+]i during anoxia. The [Na+]i did not change during 10 min of anoxia, but there was a small, transient rise of [Na+]i on reoxygenation, which was inhibited by MIA. In addition, we show that the Na+/H+ exchanger, tested by sodium lactate exposure, was inhibited during anoxia. These results show that the Na+/H+ exchanger is inhibited during ischemia and anoxia, probably by an intracellular metabolic mechanism. The exchanger activates rapidly on reperfusion and can cause a rapid rise in [Na+]i.

Abstract
Electrogenic ion transport by Na,K-ATPase was investigated by analysis of transient currents in a model system of protein-containing membrane fragments adsorbed to planar lipid bilayers. Sodium transport was triggered by ATP concentration jumps in which ATP was released from an inactive precursor by an intense near-UV light flash. The method has been used previously with the P3-1-(2-nitrophenyl)ethyl ester of ATP (NPE-caged ATP), from which the relatively slow rate of ATP release limits analysis of processes in the pump mechanism controlled by rate constants greater than 100 s(-1) at physiological pH. Here Na,K-ATPase was reinvestigated using the P3-[1-(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-phenyl-2-oxo]ethyl ester of ATP (DMB-caged ATP), which has an ATP release rate of >10(5) s(-1). Under otherwise identical conditions, photorelease of ATP from DMB-caged ATP showed faster kinetics of the transient current compared to that from NPE-caged ATP. With DMB-caged ATP, transient currents had rate profiles that were relatively insensitive to pH and the concentration of caged compound. Rate constants of ATP binding and of the E1 to E2 conformational change were compatible with earlier studies. Rate constants of enzyme phosphorylation and ADP-dependent dephosphorylation were 600 s(-1) and 1.5 x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1), respectively, at pH 7.2 and 22 degrees C.

Abstract
The magnitude of the K+ antagonism of cardiac glycoside binding to Na+/K+-ATPase prepared from porcine heart, was estimated from the enzyme activities determined in the presence of different concentrations of K+ ([K+]), ouabain, and alpha-methyl-digitoxigenin-glucoside, the latter showing a 30 fold greater dissociation rate than ouabain. An increase of [K+] (3-20 mmol/l) prolonged the half-lives of Na+/K+-ATPase inhibition and caused a rightward shift of the cardiac glycoside's dose-response curves by the same factor, almost maximal (4 fold) at 14 mmol/l K+. These data could be verified from the cardiac glycoside-elevated intravesicular Na+ concentrations of rat brain vesicles. These concentrations declined rapidly in brain vesicles treated with alpha-methyl-digitoxigenin-glucoside but not with ouabain after K+ was increased from 3.5 to 14 mM. The results suggest that the magnitude of the K+ antagonism under physiological conditions is only limited by the lifespan of the cardiac glycoside-binding E2P enzyme conformation reduced by K+.

Abstract
A high glycogen level may be beneficial to the ischemic heart by providing glycolytic ATP or detrimental by increasing intracellular lactate and protons. To determine the effect of high glycogen on the ischemic myocardium, the glycogen content of Langendorff-perfused rat hearts was either depleted or elevated before 32 minutes of low-flow (0.5 mL/min) ischemia with Krebs-Henseleit buffer with or without 11 mmol/L glucose, followed by 32 minutes of reperfusion with buffer containing 11 mmol/L glucose. 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectra were acquired sequentially throughout. Further experiments involved early reperfusion or the addition of HOE 694, a Na+-H+ exchange inhibitor, during reperfusion. When glucose was supplied throughout ischemia, no ischemic contracture occurred, and postischemic recovery of contractile function was highest, at 88% of preischemic function. In the absence of glucose, normal-glycogen hearts underwent ischemic contracture at 5 minutes, had an end-ischemic pH of 6.87, and recovered to 54%, whereas in high-glycogen hearts, contracture was delayed to 13 minutes, the end-ischemic pH was 6.61, and functional recovery decreased to 13%. Contracture onset coincided with the decrease in glycolysis, which occurred as glycogen became fully depleted. Functional recovery in the high-glycogen hearts increased to 89% when reperfused before contracture and to 56% when reperfused in the presence of HOE 694. Thus, during brief ischemia in the high-glycogen hearts, ischemic glycogen depletion and contracture were avoided, and the hearts were protected from injury. In contrast, during prolonged ischemia in the high-glycogen hearts, glycogen became fully depleted, and myocardial injury occurred; the injury was exacerbated by the lower ischemia pH in these hearts, leading to increased Na+-H+ exchange during reperfusion. The contradictory findings of past studies concerning the effect of high glycogen on the ischemic myocardium may thus be due to differences in the extent of glycogen depletion during ischemia.

Abstract
An increase in intracellular Na+ during ischaemia has been associated with myocardial injury. In this study, we determined whether inhibition of Na+/K+ ATPase activity contributes to this increase and whether Na+/K+ ATPase activity can be maintained by provision of glucose to perfused rat hearts during low flow, 0.5 ml/min, ischemia. We used 31P NMR spectroscopy to determine changes in myocardial energetics and intracellular and extracellular volumes. 23Na NMR spectroscopy, with DyTTHA3- present as a shift reagent, was used to measure changes in intracellular Na+ and 87Rb NMR spectroscopy was used to estimate Na+/K+ ATPase activity from Rb+ influx rates, Rb+ being an NMR-sensitive congener of K+. In hearts provided with 11 mM glucose throughout ischemia, glycolysis continued and ATP was twofold higher than in hearts without glucose. In the glucose-hearts, Rb+ influx rate was threefold higher, intracellular Na+ was fivefold lower at the end of ischemia and functional recovery during reperfusion was twofold higher. We propose that continuation of glycolysis throughout low flow ischemia allowed maintenance of sufficient Na+/K+ ATPase activity to prevent the increase in intracellular Na+ that would otherwise have led to myocardial injury.

Abstract
Ion binding at the extracellular face of the Na,K-ATPase is electrogenic and can be monitored by the styryl dye RH 421 in membrane fragments containing a high density of the Na,K-pumps. The fluorescent probe is noncovalently bound to the membrane and responds to changes of the local electric field generated by binding or release of cations inside the protein. Due to the fact that K+ binding from the extracellular side is an electrogenic reaction, it is possible to detect the amount of ions bound to the pump as function of the aqueous concentration. The results are in contradiction to a second order reaction, i.e., a simultaneous binding of two K+ ions. A mathematical model is presented to discuss the nature of the two step binding process. On the basis of this model the data allow a quantitative distinction between binding of the first and the second K+ ion. The temperature dependence of ion binding has been investigated. At low temperatures the apparent dissociation constants differ significantly. In the temperature range above 20 degrees C the resulting apparent dissociation constants for both K+ ions merge and have values between 0.2 and 0.3 mM, which is consistent with previous experiments. The activation energy for the half saturating concentration of K+ is 22 kJ/mol. Additional analysis of the titration curve of K+ binding to the state P-E2 by the Hill equation yields a Hill coefficient, nHill, of 1.33, which is in agreement with previously published data.

Abstract
1. The Na(+)-K+ pump current, Ip, of cardioballs from isolated sheep cardiac Purkinje cells was measured at 30-34 degrees C by means of whole-cell recording. 2. Under physiological conditions Ip is an outward current. Experimental conditions which cause a less negative free energy of intracellular ATP hydrolysis (delta GATP) and steeper sarcolemmal gradients for the pumped Na+ and Cs+ ions evoked an Ip in the inward direction over a wide range of membrane potentials. The reversal of the Ip direction was reversible. 3. The inwardly directed Ip increased with increasingly negative membrane potentials and amounted to -0.13 +/- 0.03 microA cm-2 (mean +/- S.E.M.; n = 6) at -95 mV. 4. The reversal potential (Erev) of Ip was studied as a function of delta GATP at constant sarcolemmal gradients of the pumped cations. 5. In order to vary delta GATP the cell interior was dialysed with patch pipette solutions containing 10 mM ATP and different concentrations of ADP and inorganic phosphate. The media were composed to produce delta GATP levels of about -58, -49 and -39 kJ mol-1. 6. A less negative delta GATP shifted Erev to more positive membrane potentials. From measurements of Ip as a function of membrane potential Erev was estimated to be -195, -115 and -60 mV at delta GATP levels of approximately -58, -49 and -39 kJ mol-1, respectively. The calculated Erev amounted to -224 mV at delta GATP approximately -58 kJ mol-1, -126 mV at delta GATP approximately 49 kJ mol-1 and -24 mV at delta GATP approximately -39 kJ mol-1. 7. Possible reasons for the discrepancy between estimated and calculated Erev values are discussed. 8. Shifting delta GATP to less negative values not only altered Erev but also diminished Ip at each membrane potential tested. The maximal Ip (Ip,max), which can be activated by external Cs+ (Cs+o), decreased under these conditions, whereas [Cs+]o causing half-maximal Ip activation remained unchanged. Similarly, the voltage dependence of Ip activation by Cs+o was unaffected. 9. It is concluded that Erev of Ip varies with delta GATP at constant sarcolemmal gradients of the pumped cations. This agrees with thermodynamic considerations.

Abstract
Transitory increases of ultraviolet transmission on stimulation with light were recorded simultaneously with electroretinogram on and off effects from isolated vertebrate retina. The spectral distribution of the optical light responses coincided with that of NADH reduction. The correlation of the optical, or respiratory, responses and the electrical responses were very close within a wide range of stimulus parameters, suggesting an interpretation in terms of supply and demand of energy with a tight coupling between the two kinds of evoked activity. Prerequisite to the response behaviour was the preservation of synaptic signal transmission from first- to higher-order retinal neurons.

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
1. The Na+-K+ exchange carried out by the Na+ pump of human red cell ghosts and the Na+ + K+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (Na+,K+-ATPase) activity of human red cell membranes are inhibited by MgPO4 rather than by free phosphate; similarly, the substrate for the K+-K+ exchange carried out by the pump is MgPO4 rather than free phosphate. 2. Inhibition of the Na+, K+-ATPase activity by MgPO4 is only partially competitive (mixed type) with ATP, and MgPO4 inhibition of the Na+-K+ exchange measured in Na+-free solutions and in K+-free ghosts which contain ATP at relatively high concentration is partially uncompetitive (mixed type) with external K+. 3. When measurements were made in K+-free ghosts and Na+-free solutions, or when Na+,K+-ATPase activity was measured at high ATP concentrations, inhibition by MgPO4 was non-competitive with cell Na+. This observation is not consistent with the Albers-Post reaction mechanism of the Na+ pump, and suggests the presence of an alternative reaction pathway in which ATP combines with the enzyme before phosphate is released. 4. MgPO4 monotonically inhibited the uncoupled Na+ efflux which occurs in solutions free of both Na+ and K+. The uncoupled efflux seemed to be more sensitive to MgPO4 inhibition than the Na+-K+ exchange. 5. Trinitrophenyladenosine-5'-tetraphosphate stimulated the K+-K+ exchange in the presence of MgPO4, and the characteristics of stimulation by TNP adenosine tetraphosphate were little different from the characteristics of stimulation by trinitrophenyladenosine-5'-triphosphate or -5'-diphosphate. The nucleotide binding site at which K+-K+ exchange is stimulated must be able to accommodate a nucleotide with a linear array of four phosphate groups.

Abstract
Purified Na+,K+-ATPase from pig kidney was attached to black lipid membranes. Pump currents of the enzyme could be measured with a time resolution of approx. 1 ms by releasing ATP from caged ATP with a UV laser flash. Analysis of the transient currents shows that a slow non-electrogenic step is followed by an electrogenic transition with a rate constant of 100 s-1 (22 degrees C). The exponential components found in the transient currents are compared to transitions in the Albers-Post scheme.

Abstract
(Na+ + K+)-ATPase from kidney outer medulla was incorporated into artificial dioleoylphosphatidylcholine vesicles. Transport activity was induced by adding ATP to the external medium. A voltage-sensitive dye was used to detect the ATP-driven potassium extrusion in the presence of valinomycin. The observed substrate-protein interactions of the reconstituted (Na+ + K+)-ATPase largely agree with that from native tissues. An agreement between ATP hydrolysis and transport activity is given for concentration dependences of sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium ions. The only significant deviations were observed in the influence of pH. Protons were found to have different influence on transport, enzymatic activity and phosphorylation of the enzyme. The transport studies showed a twofold interaction of protons with the protein: competition with sodium at the cytoplasmic ion binding sites, a non competitive inhibition of transport which is not correlated with protein phosphorylation.
