Abstract
We used the gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase as a molecular marker to provide a comprehensive kinetic analysis of the effects of Co2+in vitro on the modulation of K+-phosphatase activity in the Blue crab Callinectes danae. Co2+ can stimulate or inhibit K+-phosphatase activity. With Mg2+, K+-phosphatase activity is almost completely inhibited by Co2+. Co2+ stimulates K+-phosphatase activity similarly to Mg2+ although with a ≈4.5-fold greater affinity. At saturating Mg2+ concentrations, Mg2+ displaces bound Co2+ from the Mg2+-binding site in a concentration dependent manner, but Co2+ cannot displace Mg2+ from its binding site even at millimolar concentrations. Saturation by Co2+ of the Mg2+ binding site does not affect pNPP recognition by the enzyme. Substitution of Mg2+ by Co2+ slightly increases enzyme affinity for K+ and NH4+. Independently of Mg2+, inhibition by ouabain or sodium ions is unaffected by Co2+. Investigation of gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase K+-phosphatase activity provides a reliable tool to examine the kinetic effects of Co2+ with and without Na+ and ATP. Given that the toxic effects of Co2+ at the molecular level are poorly understood, these findings advance our knowledge of the mechanism of action of Co2+ on the crustacean gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase.

Abstract
Many proteins realize their special functions by binding with specific metal ion ligands during a cell's life cycle. The ability to correctly identify metal ion ligand-binding residues is valuable for the human health and the design of molecular drug. Precisely identifying these residues, however, remains challenging work. We have presented an improved computational approach for predicting the binding residues of 10 metal ion ligands (Zn2+, Cu2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Co2+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Na+, and K+) by adding reclassified relative solvent accessibility (RSA). The best accuracy of fivefold cross-validation was higher than 77.9%, which was about 16% higher than the previous result on the same dataset. It was found that different reclassification of the RSA information can make different contributions to the identification of specific ligand binding residues. Our study has provided an additional understanding of the effect of the RSA on the identification of metal ion ligand binding residues.

Abstract
The (Na(+)+K+)-ATPase is responsible for maintenance of the ionic milieu of cells. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of aluminum, an ion implicated in several neurological disorders, on ATP hydrolysis catalyzed by the rat brain synaptosomal (Na(+)+K+)-ATPase and on the binding of [3H]ouabain to this enzyme. AlCl3 (25-100 microM) inhibits the phosphatase activity of the (Na(+)+K+)-ATPase in a dose-dependent manner. AlCl3 appears to act as a reversible, noncompetitive inhibitor of (Na(+)+K+)-ATPase activity by decreasing the maximum velocity of the enzyme without significantly affecting the apparent dissociation constant with respect to ATP. AlCl3 may affect Mg2+ sites on the (Na(+)+K+)-ATPase but does not appear to interact with Na+ or K+ sites on the enzyme. In contrast to this inhibitory effect on the phosphatase function of the enzyme, AlCl3 (1-100 microM) stimulates the binding of [3H]ouabain to the (Na(+)+K+)-ATPase. This effect is due to an increase in the maximum [3H]ouabain binding capacity of the enzyme with no change in the [3H]ouabain binding affinity. These data support the hypothesis that AlCl3 may stabilize the phosphorylated form of the synaptosomal (Na(+)+K+)-ATPase which increases [3H]ouabain binding while inhibiting the phosphatase activity of the enzyme.

Abstract
A previous study revealed that a single i.p. administration of 6 mg/kg body wt. of mercuric chloride (MC) durably inhibits the rat cerebral microvascular Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity [1]. In this study, cerebral microvessels isolated 18 h after MC treatment were compared to those obtained from control rats and subsequently treated or not treated with MC in vitro, with regard to: (a) [3H]ouabain binding to, and (b) K(+)-activation kinetics of, the Na+/K(+)-ATPase. Microvessels from MC-treated rats showed a decrease of [3H]ouabain binding down to 62% of the control binding, and the same degree of inhibition was attained in microvessels treated in vitro with 5 microM MC. Analysis of the K(+)-activation kinetics of Na+/K(+)-ATPase revealed a decrease of Vmax from the control value of 13.1 to 7.67 mumol/mg/h in microvessels from MC-treated rats and 6.07 mumol/mg/h in microvessels treated in vitro with 5 microM MC, with no change in Km in either case. The similarity of the effects of in vivo and in vitro treatments suggests that the inhibition of the cerebromicrovascular Na+/K(+)-ATPase following in vivo administration of MC results from a direct interaction of Hg2+ with the enzyme.

Abstract
Ever since the discovery of Paul Ehrlich (1885 Das Sauerstoff-bedürfnis des Organismus: Hirschwald, Berlin) about the restricted material exchange, existing between the blood and the brain, the ultimate goal of subsequent studies has been mainly directed towards the elucidation of relative importance of different cellular compartments in the peculiar penetration barrier consisting the structural basis of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). It is now generally agreed that, in most vertebrates, the endothelial cells of the central nervous system (CNS) are responsible for the unique penetration barrier, which restricts the free passage of nutrients, hormones, immunologically relevant molecules and drugs to the brain. After an era of studying with endogenous or exogenous tracers the unique permeability properties of cerebral endothelial cells in vivo, the next generation, i.e. the in vitro blood-brain barrier model system was introduced in 1973. Recent advances in our knowledge of the BBB have in part been made by studying the properties and function of cerebral endothelial cells (CEC) with this in vitro approach. This review summarizes the results obtained on isolated brain microvessels in the second decade of its advent.

Abstract
The Na+,K(+)-ATPase is an important enzyme in determining the ionic milieu of the cerebromicrovasculature and neurons. The effect of hypertension or aging on this enzyme, as well as its susceptibility to regulation by fatty acids or aluminum, is the focus of this study. A significant increase (34%) in the apparent affinity constant (KD) but no change in the maximum binding capacity (Bmax) for [3H]ouabain binding to the cerebromicrovascular Na+,K(+)-ATPase occurs after induction of acute hypertension. In addition, long chain unsaturated fatty acids stimulate the binding of [3H]ouabain to the enzyme in microvessels from normotensive and hypertensive rats. The synaptosomal Na+,K(+)-ATPase is sensitive to aluminum. AlCl3 (1-100 microM) inhibits the K(+)-dependent-p-nitrophenylphosphatase (K(+)-NPPase) activity of the Na+,K(+)-ATPase in a dose-dependent manner. AlCl3 (100 microM) decreases the Vmax by 14% but does not alter the KM, suggestive of non-competitive inhibition. The enzyme from aged brain displays a greater Vmax, but shows the same susceptibility to AlCl3 as the enzyme from younger brain. In summary, disruption of the Na+,K(+)-ATPase may underlie, at least in part, abnormalities of nerve and vascular cell function in disorders where elevated concentrations of fatty acids or metal ions are involved.

Abstract
Figure 5 gives a summary of K transporters at the BBB based on the available evidence. It appears that the cerebral endothelial cells have an array of potassium channels, although the degree to which each is open under physiological conditions is uncertain. Different channels are present on the luminal and abluminal membranes, and the opening and closing of these channels may allow modulation of the brain K influx and efflux rates and play a role in brain K homeostasis. These channels may also play a role in hyperosmotic brain volume regulation by increasing the entry rate of potassium into brain and may be involved in volume regulation of the endothelial cell itself. The nature of fluid transport at the BBB remains to be fully elucidated, with the presence of a Na/K/2Cl co-transporter being uncertain. The abluminal inwardly-rectifying channel may act as a leak pathway to allow modulation of fluid secretion by the Na/K ATPase without altering the K concentration of that fluid. Finally, there is some evidence that K transport at the BBB is under hormonal and neuronal control. The cerebral capillaries possess receptors for many of the hormones present in blood and brain.

Abstract
Data from several laboratories indicate that cerebral endothelial cells possess cell surface receptors for numerous vasoactive agents including angiotensin II (AII) and atrial natriuretic factor (ANF). The intracellular messengers of these receptors as well as possible receptor interactions were explored. ANF increased cGMP 10-fold over basal levels while incubation of the microvessels with AII did not significantly affect the level of this nucleotide. In contrast, AII significantly potentiated the increase in cGMP by ANF. Incubation of cerebral microvessels with AII resulted in a significant increase in the intracellular mediator of PI hydrolysis, 1,2-diacylglycerol (DG). ANF had no affect on DG or on the AII mediated increase of DG. Finally, data at the level of receptor binding indicated that while ANF decreased [3H]angiotensin binding to cerebral microvessels, AII had no effect on the binding of ANF to its receptor. The results of the present study demonstrate that AII can potentiate the regulation of cGMP by ANF and suggest the possibility of receptor interactions in control of blood-brain barrier function.
