Abstract
The Na+,K(+)-ATPase alpha 3 isoform has recently been demonstrated immunochemically in human brain. Conclusive biochemical evidence, however, is still lacking. In this study, a unique 50-kDa polypeptide, which is known to be specific to the rat alpha 3 isoform, has been found in human brainstem Na+,K(+)-ATPase following formic acid treatment of the purified alpha isoform proteins. Human alpha 3 Na+,K(+)-ATPase is also highly sensitive to ouabain inhibition, with a 50% ouabain inhibition value of 1.0 x 10(-7) M. These results provide clear and direct evidence for the existence of the alpha 3 isoform in human brain.

Abstract
The particular aim of the review on some basic facets of the mechanism of Na+/K(+)-transporting ATPase (Na/K-ATPase) has been to integrate the experimental findings concerning the Na(+)- and K(+)-elicited protein conformation changes and transphosphorylations into the perspective of an allosterically regulated, phosphoryl energy transferring enzyme. This has led the authors to the following summarizing evaluations. 1. The currently dominating hypothesis on a link between protein conformation changes ('E1 in equilibrium with E2') and Na+/K+ transport (the 'Albers-Post scheme') has been constructed from a variety of partial reactions and elementary steps, which, however, do not all unequivocally support the hypothesis. 2. The Na(+)- and K(+)-elicited protein conformation changes are inducible by a variety of other ligands and modulatory factors and therefore cannot be accepted as evidence for their direct participation in effecting cation translocation. 3. There is no evidence that the 'E1 in equilibrium with E2' protein conformation changes are moving Na+ and K+ across the plasma membrane. 4. The allosterically caused ER in equilibrium with ET ('E1 in equilibrium with E2') conformer transitions and the associated cation 'occlusion' in equilibrium with 'de-occlusion' processes regulate the actual catalytic power of an enzyme ensemble. 5. A host of experimental variables determines the proportion of functionally competent ER enzyme conformers and incompetent ET conformers so that any enzyme population, even at the start of a reaction, consists of an unknown mixture of these conformers. These circumstances account for the occurrence of contradictory observations and apparent failures in their comparability. 6. The modelling of the mechanism of the Na/K-ATPase and Na+/K+ pump from the results of reductionistically designed experiments requires the careful consideration of the physiological boundary conditions. 7. Na+ and K+ ligandation of Na/K-ATPase controls the geometry and chemical reactivity of the catalytic centre in the cycle of E1 in equilibrium with E2 state conversions. This is possibly effected by hinge-bending, concerted motions of three adjacent, intracellularly exposed peptide sequences, which shape open and closed forms of the catalytic centre in lock-and-key responses. 8. The Na(+)-dependent enzyme phosphorylation with ATP and the K(+)-dependent hydrolysis of the phosphoenzyme formed are integral steps in the transport mechanism of Na/K-ATPase, but the translocations of Na+ and K+ do not occur via a phosphate-cation symport mechanism.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
This paper reports on the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters describing the interaction of selected digitalis derivatives with hog and guinea-pig cardiac (Na+ + K+)-ATPase (Na+/K+-transporting ATPase EC 3.6.1.37). 32 digitalis derivatives were characterized as to the values of the delta G0', delta G----not equal to, and delta G----not equal to quantities in their interaction with (Na+ + K+)-ATPase from hog cardiac muscle in the presence of ATP, Mg2+, Na+ and K+. Nine derivatives were additionally characterized as to the values of the delta H0', delta S0', delta H----not equal to, delta S----not equal to, delta H not equal to, and delta S not equal to quantities in their interaction with the hog enzyme promoted by ATP, Mg2+ and Na+ in the presence or absence of K+. The formation of the inhibitory complexes is in any case an endothermic, entropically driven process. The Gibbs energy barriers in the formation and dissociation of the complexes, delta G----not equal to and delta G----not equal to, are imposed by large, unfavourable delta H not equal to values. K+ decreases the delta G0' value by increasing the delta G----not equal to value more than the delta G----not equal to value. In comparison with hog (Na+ + K+)-ATPase, the interaction of three derivatives with guinea-pig cardiac enzyme in the presence of ATP, Mg2+, Na+ and K+ is characterized by lower delta G0' values caused by lower favourable delta S0' values, and is accompanied by lower delta G----not equal to values. The magnitude of the kinetic parameters and the characteristic of the thermodynamic quantities describing the interaction between various digitalis derivatives and (Na+ + K+)-ATPase, indicate the induction of substantial conformational changes in the enzyme protein. A large entropy gain in the enzyme protein, observed irrespective of enzyme origin and ligation, appears to be the common denominator of the inhibitory action of all digitalis derivatives studied, suggesting that the digitalis-elicited relaxation of high conformational energy (negentropy strain) of the enzyme protein is the thermodynamic essence of the reversible inactivation of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase.

Abstract
1. Purkinje myocytes were isolated from canine Purkinje strands by collagenase exposure and gentle trituration. The myocytes were studied by a switched single-micro-electrode voltage-clamp technique at 37 degrees C in Tyrode solution containing 8 mM-K+ and 2 mM-Ca2+. 2. The dose-response relation for the cardiotonic steroid dihydroouabain (DHO) was obtained by measuring the change in membrane current caused by application of concentrations of 1-100 microM. The KD obtained in fourteen experiments was 3.7 +/- 1.1 microM (mean +/- S.E. of mean). 3. We employed 100 microM-DHO (a concentration more than 25-fold greater than the KD) to estimate the resting pump current (Ip) in the isolated myocytes. A value of 0.27 +/- 0.02 microA microF-1 (mean +/- S.E. of mean, n = 32) was obtained. 4. Myocytes were also exposed to K+-free solution for a period of 200 s. On return to K+-containing Tyrode solution there was a slowly decaying outward current. The time constant of decay of this pump current transient was 87 +/- 8 s (mean +/- S.E. of mean, n = 8). The integral beneath this transient was used to obtain a second estimate of the resting pump current. In four preparations where exposures in DHO and in K+-free solutions were employed the ratio Ip, DHO/Ip, K-free was 1.76 +/- 0.15 (mean +/- S.E. of mean). 5. From the magnitude of resting pump current, in the presence of total pump blockade the Na+ activity should rise at a rate of 1.3 mM min-1. 6. Reducing [K+]o from 8 to 1 mM reduced Ip by more than 40% initially. Ip then slowly increased over the next 30 min. These results suggest that the steady-state inward background current is not greatly altered by changes in [K+]o, and that [Na+]i rises to a new level. The changes in Ip obtained at early times following reduction of [K+]o to 1 or 0.5 mM (t less than 1.75 min) were used to estimate the Km for external K+; a value of 0.8 mM was obtained. 7. The results suggest that the properties of the Na+-K+ pump in isolated canine Purkinje myocytes are similar to those in canine Purkinje strands. This argues against major distortions of measured pump properties in the canine Purkinje strand and for the physiological state of the Na+-K+ pump in the isolated Purkinje myocyte.

Abstract
The inhibitory potency of altogether 95 steroidal compounds (including cardenolides, bufadienolides and their glycosides) on the Na/K-ATPases (Na+/K+-transporting ATPases, EC 3.6.1.37) from human cardiac muscle, human brain cortex and guinea-pig cardiac muscle was compared to probe the complementary chemotopology of the inhibitor binding site areas on the three enzyme variants. The changes of potency, resulting from systematic variations of the geometry of steroid skeleton and the character as well as the structure of side chains at C3 or/and C17 of steroid backbone, allowed the following major conclusions. With the human cardiac and cerebral enzyme forms, the paired K0.5 (K'D) values for 77 steroid derivatives, covering seven orders of ten, were highly correlated. On an average, the total of compounds showed a 1.5-fold higher affinity to the cardiac enzyme. This tiny differentiation did not appear to be connected with an important difference in the chemotopology of the complementary subsites for steroid nucleus binding on the two enzyme forms. With the human and guinea-pig cardiac enzyme variants, the K0.5 values for 69 steroid derivatives, covering six orders of ten, were determined. For 41 5 beta, 14 beta-androstane derivatives only, the paired K0.5 values showed a close correlation. Here, the human enzyme variant exhibited 27-fold higher affinity. However, the paired K0.5 values determined on both enzymes for 28 steroid derivatives of differing structural features were but poorly correlated. Essentially, the geometries of the steroid nucleus determined the differential contributions of the side chains at C3 and C17 to the integral inhibitory potency on the two enzyme variants. Thus, the species differences in the potency of cardiac glycosides were traced to species differences in the complementarity of the steroid binding subsites. Hence, estimates of the potency of new steroidal compounds obtained on the guinea-pig cardiac enzyme can be neither quantitatively nor qualitatively easily extrapolated to the human cardiac enzyme. The extrathermodynamic analysis of the data opened major new insights in the structure-activity relationships concerning the role of C14 beta-OH, the character of the lead structure in cardioactive steroid lactones, and the significance of the configuration of A/B ring junction.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to determine the lead structure in cardiac glycosides at the receptor level, i.e. the minimal structural requirement for specific and powerful receptor recognition. Accordingly 73 digitalis-like acting steroids were characterized as to the concentration effecting half-maximum inhibition of Na,K-ATPase from human cardiac muscle under standardized turnover conditions. Since the Ki value equaled the apparent KD value, K'D was expressed in terms of the apparent standard Gibbs energy change delta G degrees' of steroid interaction with Na,K-ATPase. This allowed the use of the extrathermodynamic approach as a rational way of correlating in a quantitative manner, the potency and structure of the various steroidal compounds. The results of the present analysis taken in conjunction with relevant findings reported in the literature, favour the following conclusions. Cassaine, canrenone, prednisolone- and progesterone-3,20-bisguanylhydrazone, and chlormadinol acetate are compounds that are not congeneric with digitalis. The butenolide ring of cardenolides or the analogous side-chains at C17 beta of 5 beta, 14 beta-androstane-3 beta, 14-diol are not pharmacophoric substructures, but merely amplifiers of the interaction energy of the steroid lead. All modifications of the structure, geometry and spatial relationship between the steroid nucleus and butenolide side chain of digitoxigenin all at once weaken the close fit interaction with the steroid and butenolide binding subsites of the enzyme in such way that the cardenolide derivatives interact with the receptor binding site area in whatever orientation that will minimize the Gibbs energy of the steroid-receptor-solvent system. The "butenolide carbonyl oxygen distance model" (Ahmed et al. 1983) for the interpretation of the differences in potency of the cardenolide derivatives describes the change in interaction energy through structural modification as a function of the entire molecule. 5 beta, 14 beta-androstane-3 beta, 14-diol, the steroid nucleus of cardiac glycosides of the digitalis type, is the minimum structure for specific receptor recognition and the key structure for inducing protein conformational change and thus Na,K-ATPase inhibition. It is also the structural requirement for maximum contributions of the butenolide substituent at C17 beta and the sugar substituent at C3 beta-OH to the overall interaction energy, i.e. this steroid nucleus is the lead structure.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Inhibition of Na,K-ATPase by cardiac glycosides is at least partially antagonized by K+. The kinetics of the antagonism, however, appear complicated because K+ is capable of reducing both association and dissociation rate constants for the glycoside-enzyme interaction. In order to better understand the effect of K+, inhibition of partially purified Na,K-ATPase obtained from rat brain, guinea-pig heart and rat heart by ouabain, digoxin, digoxigenin, dihydrodigoxin and cassaine were compared in the presence of 1, 3 or 10 mM K+. Higher concentrations of K+ caused a parallel shift to the right in the concentration-inhibition curves for these compounds. For ouabain or digoxin, the extent of the shift was minimal with rat brain enzyme, intermediate with guinea-pig heart enzyme and more substantial with rat heart enzyme. For digoxigenin, dihydrodigoxin or cassaine, the extent of the shift was substantial in all enzyme preparations. These results could not be explained from either the affinity of the enzyme for the compound or its lipid solubility alone. The concentrations of these compounds required to cause a 50 percent inhibition of enzyme activity were markedly different with rat brain enzyme, but relatively similar with rat heart enzyme. The effects of K+, which depend on the source of the enzyme and chemical structures of the compounds, have to be considered in studies on comparative effects of various compounds on Na,K-ATPase, [3H]ouabain binding, sodium pumping and the force of myocardial contraction.
