Abstract
We review 50 years of use of 2',3'-O-trinitrophenyl (TNP)-ATP, a fluorescently tagged ATP analog. It has been extensively used to detect binding interactions of ATP to proteins and to measure parameters of those interactions such as the dissociation constant, Kd, or inhibitor dissociation constant, Ki. TNP-ATP has also found use in other applications, for example, as a fluorescence marker in microscopy, as a FRET pair, or as an antagonist (e.g., of P2X receptors). However, its use in protein binding studies has limitations because the TNP moiety often enhances binding affinity, and the fluorescence changes that occur with binding can be masked or mimicked in unexpected ways. The goal of this review is to provide a clear perspective of the pros and cons of using TNP-ATP to allow for better experimental design and less ambiguous data in future experiments using TNP-ATP and other TNP nucleotides.

Abstract
Hydrolysis of ATP by Na+/K+-ATPase, a P-Type ATPase, catalyzing active Na+ and K+ transport through cellular membranes leads transiently to a phosphorylation of its catalytical α-subunit. Surprisingly, three-dimensional molecular structure analysis of P-type ATPases reveals that binding of ATP to the N-domain connected by a hinge to the P-domain is much too far away from the Asp369 to allow the transfer of ATP’s terminal phosphate to its aspartyl-phosphorylation site. In order to get information for how the transfer of the γ-phosphate group of ATP to the Asp369 is achieved, analogous molecular modeling of the M4–M5 loop of ATPase was performed using the crystal data of Na+/K+-ATPase of different species. Analogous molecular modeling of the cytoplasmic loop between Thr338 and Ile760 of the α2-subunit of Na+/K+-ATPase and the analysis of distances between the ATP binding site and phosphorylation site revealed the existence of two ATP binding sites in the open conformation; the first one close to Phe475 in the N-domain, the other one close to Asp369 in the P-domain. However, binding of Mg2+•ATP to any of these sites in the “open conformation” may not lead to phosphorylation of Asp369. Additional conformations of the cytoplasmic loop were found wobbling between “open conformation” <==> “semi-open conformation <==> “closed conformation” in the absence of 2Mg2+•ATP. The cytoplasmic loop’s conformational change to the “semi-open conformation”—characterized by a hydrogen bond between Arg543 and Asp611—triggers by binding of 2Mg2+•ATP to a single ATP site and conversion to the “closed conformation” the phosphorylation of Asp369 in the P-domain, and hence the start of Na+/K+-activated ATP hydrolysis.

Abstract
The photoactivation of aryl azides is commonly employed as a means to covalently attach cross-linking and labeling reagents to proteins, facilitated by the high reactivity of the resultant aryl nitrenes with amino groups present in the protein side chains. We have developed a simple and reliable assay for the determination of the ATP binding affinity of native or recombinant sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase, taking advantage of the specific photolabeling of Lys(492) in the Ca(2+)-ATPase by [γ-(32)P]2',3'-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-8-azido-adenosine 5'-triphosphate ([γ-(32)P]TNP-8N3-ATP) and the competitive inhibition by ATP of the photolabeling reaction. The method allows determination of the ATP affinity of Ca(2+)-ATPase mutants expressed in mammalian cell culture in amounts too minute for conventional equilibrium binding studies. Here, we describe the synthesis and purification of the [γ-(32)P]TNP-8N3-ATP photolabel, as well as its application in ATP affinity measurements.

Abstract
The type of metabolic compartmentalization that occurs in red blood cells differs from the types that exist in most eukaryotic cells, such as intracellular organelles. In red blood cells (ghosts), ATP is sequestered within the cytoskeletal-membrane complex. These pools of ATP are known to directly fuel both the Na(+)/K(+) and Ca(2+) pumps. ATP can be entrapped within these pools either by incubation with bulk ATP or by operation of the phosphoglycerate kinase and pyruvate kinase reactions to enzymatically generate ATP. When the pool is filled with nascent ATP, metabolic labeling of the Na(+)/K(+) or Ca(2+) pump phosphoproteins (E(Na)-P and E(Ca)-P, respectively) from bulk [γ-(32)P]-ATP is prevented until the pool is emptied by various means. Importantly, the pool also can be filled with the fluorescent ATP analog trinitrophenol ATP, as well as with a photoactivatable ATP analog, 8-azido-ATP (N(3)-ATP). Using the fluorescent ATP, we show that ATP accumulates and then disappears from the membrane as the ATP pools are filled and subsequently emptied, respectively. By loading N(3)-ATP into the membrane pool, we demonstrate that membrane proteins that contribute to the pool's architecture can be photolabeled. With the aid of an antibody to N(3)-ATP, we identify these labeled proteins by immunoblotting and characterize their derived peptides by mass spectrometry. These analyses show that the specific peptides that corral the entrapped ATP derive from sequences within β-spectrin, ankyrin, band 3, and GAPDH.

Trinitrophenyl derivatives bind differently from parent adenine nucleotides to Ca2+-ATPase in the absence of Ca2+. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2011; 108:1833-8.

Abstract
Trinitrophenyl derivatives of adenine nucleotides are widely used for probing ATP-binding sites. Here we describe crystal structures of Ca(2+)-ATPase, a representative P-type ATPase, in the absence of Ca(2+) with bound ATP, trinitrophenyl-ATP, -ADP, and -AMP at better than 2.4-Å resolution, stabilized with thapsigargin, a potent inhibitor. These crystal structures show that the binding mode of the trinitrophenyl derivatives is distinctly different from the parent adenine nucleotides. The adenine binding pocket in the nucleotide binding domain of Ca(2+)-ATPase is now occupied by the trinitrophenyl group, and the side chains of two arginines sandwich the adenine ring, accounting for the much higher affinities of the trinitrophenyl derivatives. Trinitrophenyl nucleotides exhibit a pronounced fluorescence in the E2P ground state but not in the other E2 states. Crystal structures of the E2P and E2 ∼ P analogues of Ca(2+)-ATPase with bound trinitrophenyl-AMP show that different arrangements of the three cytoplasmic domains alter the orientation and water accessibility of the trinitrophenyl group, explaining the origin of "superfluorescence." Thus, the crystal structures demonstrate that ATP and its derivatives are highly adaptable to a wide range of site topologies stabilized by a variety of interactions.

Abstract
We studied the interactions between pairs of cations during activation of the steady-state hydrolysis of ATP of the Na+/K+-ATPase. Non-linear regression was used to obtain empirical equations that describe quantitatively the behaviour of the system. The curve relating activity to Na+ concentration was describable by a Hill equation with nH = 2 and not by the more frequently used expression based on rapid-equilibrium binding of Na+ to three identical and non-interacting sites. At non-limiting concentrations of the other ligands, changes in the concentration of Na+ or of Mg2+ modified in the same proportion the maximum effects and the apparent affinities of K+, revealing the operation of either ping-pong or of ordered sequential mechanisms with irreversible steps separating the additions of each ligand. In contrast with this, changes in the concentration of Mg2+ altered only the maximum effect of Na+, indicating that a ternary complex between the cations and the enzyme has to be formed and that certain particular relations have to hold among the rate constants of the system. The interactions described in this paper, together with those previously reported, allowed us to derive a general equation that adequately predicted the response of the Na+/K+-ATPase to the concentration of any pair of ligands at non-limiting concentrations of the rest. Confrontation of this equation with computer simulations of the behaviour of the Albers-Post model shows that this model predicts the interactions in which K+ participates and perhaps also the interaction between Mg2+ and Na+, but seems unable to predict the interactions between pairs of ligands that do not include K+.

Abstract
ATP binds to sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase both in a phosphorylating (catalytic) mode and in a nonphosphorylating (modulatory) mode, the latter leading to acceleration of phosphoenzyme turnover (Ca(2)E(1)P --> E(2)P and E(2)P --> E(2) reactions) and Ca(2+) binding (E(2) --> Ca(2)E(1)). In some of the Ca(2+)-ATPase crystal structures, Arg(678) and Glu(439) seem to be involved in the binding of nucleotide or an associated Mg(2+) ion. We have replaced Arg(678), Glu(439), and Gly(438) with alanine to examine their importance for the enzyme cycle and the modulatory effects of ATP and MgATP. The results point to the key role of Arg(678) in nucleotide binding and to the importance of interdomain bonds Glu(439)-Ser(186) and Arg(678)-Asp(203) in stabilizing the E(2)P and E(2) intermediates, respectively. Mutation of Arg(678) had conspicuous effects on ATP/MgATP binding to the E(1) form and ADP binding to Ca(2)E(1)P, as well as ATP/MgATP binding in modulatory modes to E(2)P and E(2), whereas the effects on ATP/MgATP acceleration of the Ca(2)E(1)P --> E(2)P transition were small, suggesting that the nucleotide that accelerates Ca(2)E(1)P --> E(2)P binds differently from that modulating the E(2)P --> E(2) and E(2) --> Ca(2)E(1) reactions. Mutation of Glu(439) hardly affected nucleotide binding to E(1), Ca(2)E(1)P, and E(2), but it led to disruption of the modulatory effect of ATP on E(2)P --> E(2) and acceleration of the latter reaction, indicating that ATP normally modulates E(2)P --> E(2) by interfering with the interaction between Glu(439) and Ser(186). Gly(438) seems to be important for this interaction as well as for nucleotide binding, probably because of its role in formation of the helix containing Glu(439) and Thr(441).

Abstract
The Na,K-pump was discovered about 50 years ago. Since then there has been a methodic investigation of its structure and functional characteristics. The development of the Albers-Post model for the transport cycle was a milestone that provided the framework for detailed understanding of the transport process. The pump is composed of 2 subunits that exist in the membrane as an alphabeta heterodimer. All known enzymatic functions of the pump occur through the alpha subunit. Although necessary for activity, the complete role of the beta subunit is not understood fully. Numerous studies have established that the alphabeta protomer is the minimal functional unit needed to perform the Albers-Post reaction cycle. However, higher orders of aggregation [(alphabeta)n] are commonly detected. There is little evidence that oligomerization has functional consequence for ion transport. The Na+,K+-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) is a member of the P-type ATPase family of transporters. Proteins within this family have common amino acid sequence motifs that share functional characteristics and structure. Low-resolution 3-dimensional reconstruction of 2-dimensional crystal diffractions provide evidence for the similarity in tertiary structure of the alpha subunit and the Ca2+ATPase (a closely related P-type ATPase). The spatial location of the beta subunit also is obvious in these reconstructions. Recent high-resolution reconstructions from 3-dimensional crystals of the Ca2+ATPase provide structural details at the atomic level. It now is possible to interpret structurally some of the key steps in the Albers-Post reaction. Some of these high-resolution interpretations are translatable to the Na+,K+-ATPase, but a high-resolution structure of the Na,K-pump is needed for the necessary details of those aspects that are unique to this transporter.

Abstract
Infrared spectroscopy was used to monitor the conformational change of 2',3'-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)adenosine 5'-monophosphate (TNP-AMP) binding to the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase. TNP-AMP binding was observed in a competition experiment: TNP-AMP is initially bound to the ATPase but is then replaced by beta,gamma-iminoadenosine 5'-triphosphate (AMPPNP) after AMPPNP release from P(3)-1-(2-nitrophenyl)ethyl AMPPNP (caged AMPPNP). The resulting infrared difference spectra are compared to those of AMPPNP binding to the free ATPase, to obtain a difference spectrum that reflects solely TNP-AMP binding to the Ca(2+)-ATPase. TNP-AMP used as an ATP analog in the crystal structure of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase was found to induce a conformational change upon binding to the ATPase. It binds with a binding mode that is different from that of AMPPNP, ATP, and other tri- and diphosphate nucleotides: TNP-AMP binding causes partially opposite and smaller conformational changes compared to ATP or AMPPNP. The conformation of the TNP-AMP ATPase complex is more similar to that of the E1Ca(2) state than to that of the E1ATPCa(2) state. Regarding the use of infrared spectroscopy as a technique for ligand binding studies, our results show that infrared spectroscopy is able to distinguish different binding modes.

Abstract
Palytoxin binds to Na/K pumps to generate nonselective cation channels whose pore likely comprises at least part of the pump's ion translocation pathway. We systematically analyzed palytoxin's interactions with native human Na/K pumps in outside-out patches from HEK293 cells over a broad range of ionic and nucleotide conditions, and with or without cardiotonic steroids. With 5 mM internal (pipette) [MgATP], palytoxin activated the conductance with an apparent affinity that was highest for Na+-containing (K+-free) external and internal solutions, lowest for K+-containing (Na+-free) external and internal solutions, and intermediate for the mixed external Na+/internal K+, and external K+/internal Na+ conditions; with Na+ solutions and MgATP, the mean dwell time of palytoxin on the Na/K pump was about one day. With Na+ solutions, the apparent affinity for palytoxin action was low after equilibration of patches with nucleotide-free pipette solution. That apparent affinity was increased in two phases as the equilibrating [MgATP] was raised over the submicromolar, and submillimolar, ranges, but was increased by pipette MgAMPPNP in a single phase, over the submillimolar range; the apparent affinity at saturating [MgAMPPNP] remained ∼30-fold lower than at saturating [MgATP]. After palytoxin washout, the conductance decay that reflects palytoxin unbinding was accelerated by cardiotonic steroid. When Na/K pumps were preincubated with cardiotonic steroid, subsequent activation of palytoxin-induced conductance was greatly slowed, even after washout of the cardiotonic steroid, but activation could still be accelerated by increasing palytoxin concentration. These results indicate that palytoxin and a cardiotonic steroid can simultaneously occupy the same Na/K pump, each destabilizing the other. The palytoxin-induced channels were permeable to several large organic cations, including N-methyl-d-glucamine+, suggesting that the narrowest section of the pore must be ∼7.5 Å wide. Enhanced understanding of palytoxin action now allows its use for examining the structures and mechanisms of the gates that occlude/deocclude transported ions during the normal Na/K pump cycle.

Abstract
Binding of TNP-ATP [2',3'- O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)adenosine 5'-triphosphate, a fluorescent analogue of ATP] to the K605 protein was studied. This is an isolated N-domain in the cytoplasmic loop of the Na/K-ATPase alpha-subunit, lying between membrane-spanning segments 4 and 5 (sequence L(354)-I(604)). A titration equation is derived that explicitly makes it possible to relate the fluorescence of TNP-ATP and K605 solutions to total probe concentration in the sample. Using this, it is possible to obtain the value of the dissociation constant from the titration experiment without resorting to the Scatchard plot, which is far from optimal from the statistical point of view. Using the new formula with non-linear regression analysis, a value of the dissociation constant K(D) for TNP-ATP binding to the K605 protein of 3.03 +/- 0.28 microM at 22 degrees C was obtained. A series of fits to simulated data with added noise demonstrated clearly the advantage of non-linear regression using the new formula over the commonly employed linear regression using the Scatchard plot. The procedure presented is generally applicable to binding assays using changes in the fluorescence of ligands on binding.

Abstract
Nine single mutations were introduced to amino acid residues Thr441, Glu442, Lys515, Arg560, Cys561, and Leu562 located in the nucleotide-binding domain of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, and the functional consequences were studied in a direct nucleotide binding assay, as well as by steady-state and transient kinetic measurements of the overall and partial reactions of the transport cycle. Some partial reaction steps were also examined in mutants with alterations to Phe487, Arg489, and Lys492. The results implicate all these residues, except Cys561, in high affinity nucleotide binding at the substrate site. Mutations Thr441 --> Ala, Glu442 --> Ala, and Leu562 --> Phe were more detrimental to MgATP binding than to ATP binding, thus pointing to a role for these residues in the binding of Mg2+ or to a difference between the interactions with MgATP and ATP. Subsequent catalytic steps were also selectively affected by the mutations, showing the involvement of the nucleotide-binding domain in these reactions. Mutation of Arg560 inhibited phosphoryl transfer but enhanced the E1PCa2 --> E2P conformational transition, whereas mutations Thr441 --> Ala, Glu442 --> Ala, Lys492 --> Leu, and Lys515 --> Ala inhibited the E1PCa2 --> E2P transition. Hydrolysis of the E2P phosphoenzyme intermediate was enhanced in Glu442 --> Ala, Lys492 --> Leu, Lys515 --> Ala, and Arg560 --> Glu. None of the mutations affected the low affinity activation by nucleotide of the phosphoenzyme-processing steps, indicating that modulatory nucleotide interacts differently from substrate nucleotide. Mutation Glu442 --> Ala greatly enhanced reaction of Lys515 with fluorescein isothiocyanate, indicating that the two residues form a salt link in the native protein.

Abstract
The Methanocaldococcus jannaschii (formerly Methanococcus jannaschii) protein Mj0968 has been reported to represent a soluble P-type ATPase [Ogawa et al., FEBS Lett. 471 (2000) 99-102]. In this study, we report that the heterologously expressed Mj0968-His(10) protein exhibits high rates of phosphatase activity, whereas only very low ATPase activity was measured. Replacement of the aspartate residue in the DSAGT motif (D7A), which becomes phosphorylated during the reaction cycle of P-type ATPases, does not affect the V(max), but only the K(M) of the reaction. Labeling studies with [gamma-(32)P]ATP and [alpha-(32)P]ATP revealed that the previously reported labeling experiments [Ogawa et al., 2000] do not necessarily show phosphorylation of Mj0968, but rather point to ATP binding. Binding studies with trinitrophenyl adenosine nucleotides showed low apparent K(d) values for those molecules. These results provide evidence that the native function of Mj0968 seems to be that of a phosphatase, rather than that of an ATP-hydrolyzing enzyme.

Abstract
We used the direct route of occlusion to study the equilibrium between free and occluded Rb(+) in the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase, in media with different concentrations of ATP, Mg(2+), or Na(+). An empirical equation, with the restrictions imposed by the stoichiometry of ligand binding was fitted to the data. This allowed us to identify which states of the enzyme were present in each condition and to work out the schemes and equations that describe the equilibria between the ATPase, Rb(+), and ATP, Mg(2+), or Na(+). These equations were fitted to the corresponding experimental data to find out the values of the equilibrium constants of the reactions connecting the different enzyme states. The three ligands decreased the apparent affinity for Rb(+) occlusion without affecting the occlusion capacity. With [ATP] tending to infinity, enzyme species with one or two occluded Rb(+) seem to be present and full occlusion seems to occur in enzymes saturated with the nucleotide. In contrast, when either [Mg(2+)] or [Na(+)] tended to infinity no occlusion was detectable. Both Mg(2+) and Na(+) are displaced by Rb(+) through a process that seems to need the binding and occlusion of two Rb(+), which suggests that in these conditions Rb(+) occlusion regains the stoichiometry of the physiological operation of the Na(+) pump.

Abstract
In order to study the pressure-induced changes of biological membrane, hydrostatic pressures of from 0.1 to 400 MPa were applied to membrane-bound Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase from pig kidney as a model system of protein and lipid membrane. The activity showed at least a three-step change induced by pressures of 0.1-100 MPa, 100-220 MPa, and 220 MPa or higher. At pressures of 100 MPa or lower a decrease in the fluidity of lipid bilayer and a reversible conformational change in transmembrane protein is induced, leading to the functional disorder of membrane-associated ATPase activity. A pressure of 100-220 MPa causes a reversible phase transition in parts of the lipid bilayer from the liquid crystalline to the gel phase and the dissociation of and/or conformational changes in the protein subunits. These changes could cause a separation of the interface between alpha and beta subunits and between protein and the lipid bilayer to create transmembrane tunnels at the interface. Tunnels would be filled with water from the aqueous environment and take up tritiated water. A pressure of 220 MPa or higher irreversibly destroys and fragments the gross membrane structure, due to protein unfolding and interface separation, which is amplified by the increased pressure. These findings provide an explanation for the high pressure-induced membrane-damage to subcellular organelles.

Abstract
The interaction of ligands deemed to be ATP analogues with renal Na(+),K(+)-ATPase suggests that two ATP binding sites coexist on each functional unit. Previous studies in which fluorescein 5-isothiocyanate (FITC) was used to label the high affinity ATP site and 2'(3')-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)adenosine 5'-diphosphate (TNP-ADP) was used to probe the low affinity site suggested that the two sites coexist on the same alphabeta protomer. Other studies in which FITC labeled the high affinity site and erythrosin-5-isothiocyanate (ErITC) labeled the low affinity site led to the conclusion that the high and low affinity sites exist on separate interacting protomers in a functional diprotomer. We report here that at 100% inhibition of ATPase activity by FITC, each alphabeta protomer of duck nasal gland enzyme has a single bound FITC. Both TNP-ADP and ErITC interact with FITC-bound protomers, which unambiguously demonstrates that putative high and low affinity ATP sites coexist on the same protomer. In unlabeled nasal gland enzyme, TNP-ADP and ErITC inhibit both ATPase activity and p-nitrophenyl phosphatase activity, functions attributed to the putative high and low affinity ATP site, respectively, by interacting with a single site with characteristics of the high affinity ATP binding site. In FITC-labeled enzyme, TNP-ADP and ErITC inhibit p- nitrophenyl phosphatase activity but at much higher concentrations than with the unmodified enzyme. Low affinity sites do not exist on the unmodified enzyme but can be detected only after the high affinity site is modified by FITC.

Abstract
Members of the large family of P-type pumps use active transport to maintain gradients of a wide variety of cations across cellular membranes. Recent structures of two P-type pumps at 8-A resolution have revealed the arrangement of transmembrane helices but were insufficient to reveal the architecture of the cytoplasmic domains. However, recent proposals of a structural homology with a superfamily of hydrolases offer a new basis for modeling these domains. In the current work, we have extended the sequence comparison for the superfamily and delineated domains in the 8-A density map of Ca(2+)-ATPase. The homology suggests a new domain structure for Ca(2+)-ATPase and, specifically, that the phosphorylation domain adopts a Rossman fold. Accordingly, the atomic structure of L-2 haloacid dehalogenase has been fitted into the relevant domain of Ca(2+)-ATPase. The resulting model suggests the existence of two ATP sites at the interface between two domains. Based on this new model, we are able to reconcile numerous results of mutagenesis and chemical cross-linking within the catalytic domains. Furthermore, we have used the model to predict the configuration of Mg.ATP at its binding site. Based on this prediction, we propose a mechanism, involving a change in Mg(2+) liganding, for initiating the domain movements that couple sites of ion transport to ATP hydrolysis.

Abstract
Two high Mr protein bands (440 and 420 kDa) in sheep brain microsomal membranes were labeled with the photoaffinity ATP analog, O-(4-benzoyl)benzoyl adenosine 5'-triphosphate (Bz2ATP). The 420 kDa band is labeled by [alpha-32P]-Bz2ATP with about 1000-fold higher affinity than the 440 kDa band. The heavily labeled 420 kDa band is identified as dynein heavy chain based on its partial amino acid sequence, and cross-reactivity with anti-dynein antibodies. The 440 kDa protein is immunologically identified as the type-2 RyR. Bz2ATP binding is obtained in the absence of divalent cations. Bz2ATP and ATP increased the binding of ryanodine to its receptor up to 3-fold, and increased the binding affinity up to 6-fold. Other nucleotides stimulate ryanodine binding with decreasing effectiveness: Bz2ATP > ATP > ADP > AMP > AMP-PNP > GTP > cAMP. With respect to nucleotide specificity, this binding site is similar to the skeletal muscle RyR (type 1). However, the brain RyR may have additional one or more sites with lower affinity with inhibitory effect on ryanodine binding. These results suggest that the major RyR isoform in sheep brain corresponds to the type-2 isoform, and that modulation of ryanodine binding by ATP involves its binding to the RyR protein. The association of dynein with brain microsomal membranes may reflect a linkage of RyR to the cytoskeleton.

Abstract
Fusion proteins of glutathione-S-transferase and fragments from the large cytoplasmic domain of the sheep Na,K-ATPase alpha1-subunit were expressed in Escherichia coli. The Na,K-ATPase sequences begin at Ala345 and terminate at either Arg600 (DP600f), Thr610 (DP610f), Gly731 (DP731f), or Glu779 (DP779f). After affinity purification on glutathione-Sepharose, the fusion proteins were labeled with [alpha-32P]-2-N3-ATP, and incorporation of the radiolabel into the fusion proteins was measured by scintillation counting after sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Kd values of 220-290 microM for 2-N3-ATP binding to the fusion proteins were obtained from the photolabeling experiments. Approximately 1 mol of 2-N3-ATP was calculated to be incorporated per mole of fusion protein after correction for photochemical incorporation efficiency. Labeling of all of the fusion proteins by 25 microM 2-N3-ATP was reduced in the presence of MgATP, Na2ATP, MgCl2, 2',3'-O-(2,4, 6-trinitrophenyl)-ATP, and p-nitrophenylphosphate, and Ki values of 2-11 mM for Na2ATP, 0.2-5 mM for MgCl2, 0.1-5 mM for MgATP, and 20-300 microM for p-nitrophenylphosphate were calculated for these ligands. All of the fusion proteins catalyze the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenylphosphate. The reaction requires MgCl2 and is inhibited by inorganic phosphate, which is similar to the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenylphosphate by native Na,K-ATPase. Based on these observations, it appears that the soluble fragments from the large cytoplasmic domain of Na,K-ATPase expressed in bacterial cells are folded in an E2-like conformation and are likely to retain much of the native structure.

Abstract
A Koshland-Némethy-Filmer model of two cooperating ATP sites has previously been shown to explain the kinetics of inhibition of Na+/K+-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.37) by dansylated ATP (Thoenges, D., and Schoner, W. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 16315-16321). The present work demonstrates that this model adequately describes all types of interactions and kinetics of a number of ATP analogs that differ in their cooperativity of the high and low affinity ATP binding sites of the enzyme. 2',3'-O(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)ATP binds in a negative cooperative way to the E1ATP site (Kd = 0.7 microM) and to the E2ATP site (Kd = 210 microM), but 3'(2')-O-methylanthraniloyl-ATP in a positive cooperative way with a lower affinity to the E1ATP binding site (Kd = 200 microM) than to the E2ATP binding site (Kd = 80 microM). 3'(2')-O(5-Fluor-2,4-dinitrophenyl)-ATP, however, binds in a noncooperative way, with equal affinities to both ATP binding sites (Kd = 10 microM). In a research for the structural parameters determining ATP site specificity and cooperativity, we became aware that structural flexibility of ribose is necessary for catalysis. Moreover, puckering of the ring atoms in the ribose is essential for the interaction between ATP sites in Na+/K+-ATPase. A number of derivatives of 2'(3')-O-adenosine with bulky fluorescent substitutes bind with high affinity to the E2ATP site and inhibit Na+/K+-ATPase activity. Evidently, an increased number of interactions of such a bulky adenosine with the enzyme protein tightens binding to the E2ATP site.

Abstract
ATP and its analogues act on the minimal functional unit of Na, K-ATPase, the alpha beta protomer, with high and low affinity effects. Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) irreversibly blocks the high affinity, or catalytic, ATP site, and yet the surviving K+-phosphatase activity of soluble FITC-modified alphabeta protomers can be photoinactivated by 2'(3')-O-trinitrophenyl (TNP)-8N3-ADP (Ward, D. G., and Cavieres, J. D. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 14277-14284). We have now used TNP-8N3-[alpha-32P]ADP as a photoaffinity label for Na,K-ATPase. The native enzyme can be photolabeled at 5 microM TNP-8N3-[alpha-32P]ADP, and ATP or FITC treatment prevents labeling of the alpha chain. At 25 microM, however, TNP-8N3-[alpha-32P]ADP can be incorporated in the FITC-modified alpha chain, concurrently with the inactivation of the K+-phosphatase activity, to an extrapolated level of 0.5-1.2 mol of 32P-probe per mol of alpha chain. Photoinactivation and labeling are prevented by TNP-ADP, vanadate, or strophanthidin and are promoted by Na+ or Mg2+, but not K+. The cation effects suggest that the fluorescein-modified enzyme incorporates the TNP-8N3-[alpha-32P]ADP. Mg complex preferentially, and the free probe when in the E1 enzyme form and after occupation of a low-affinity Na+ site. Partial trypsinolysis reveals that the point of TNP-8N3-[alpha-32P]ADP attachment is on the C-terminal 58-kDa fragment of the FITC-modified alpha chain. The affinity labeling of the fluorescein enzyme by TNP-8N3-[alpha-32P]ADP endorses the view that two nucleotide sites can be occupied simultaneously in each alpha subunit of Na,K-ATPase.

Abstract
The Na,K-ATPase activity of the sodium pump exhibits apparent multisite kinetics toward ATP, a feature that is inherent to the minimal enzyme unit, the alpha beta protomer. We have argued that this should arise from separate catalytic and noncatalytic sites on the alpha beta protomer as fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) blocks a high affinity ATP site on all alpha subunits and yet the modified Na, K-ATPase retains a low affinity response to nucleotides (Ward, D. G., and Cavieres, J. D. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 12317-12321). We now find that 2'(3')-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)8-azido-adenosine 5'-diphosphate (TNP-8N3-ADP), a high affinity photoactivatable analogue of ATP, can inhibit the K+-phosphatase activity of the FITC-modified enzyme during assays in dimmed light. The inhibition occurs with a Ki of 140 microM at 20 mM K+; it requires the adenine ring as 2'(3')-O-(2,4 6-trinitrophenyl) (TNP)-UDP or TNP-uridine are less potent and 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene-sulfonate is ineffective. Under irradiation with UV light, TNP-8N3-ADP inactivates the K+-phosphatase activity of the fluorescein-enzyme and also its phosphorylation by [32P]Pi. The photoinactivation process is stimulated by Na+ or Mg2+, and is inhibited by K+ or excess TNP-ADP. In the presence of 50 mM Na+ and 1 mM Mg2+, TNP-8N3-ADP photoinactivates with a K0.5 of 15 microM. Furthermore, TNP-8N3-ADP photoinactivates the FITC-modified, solubilized alpha beta protomers, even more effectively than the membrane-bound fluorescein-enzyme. These results strongly suggest that catalytic and allosteric ATP sites coexist on the alpha beta protomer of Na,K-ATPase.

Abstract
Escherichia coli was used to overexpress the large cytoplasmic loop of the rat Na,K-ATPase. A 1260-base DNA segment encoding Lys354-Lys774 of the rat alpha1-subunit was constructed via polymerase chain reaction. The polymerase chain reaction product was successfully subcloned into the expression vector pET-28 (Novagen), which produces an N-terminal 6-histidine-tagged fusion protein. The pET-28 vector containing rat alpha-loop, i.e. pAN, was used to transform calcium-competent E. coli BL21(DE3) cells, and positive clones were selected by kanamycin resistance. Bacterial cultures were grown, and protein synthesis was induced with isopropyl beta-D-thiogalactoside. Cells were harvested and lysed, revealing production of the His-tagged fusion protein ( approximately 46 kDa). The fusion protein was affinity-purified from other soluble cellular proteins via a Ni-NTA column, which routinely yielded approximately 20 mg of soluble His6-alpha-loop/L cell culture. The His6-alpha-loop retained significant native structure, as evidenced by the ability of ATP and ADP (but not AMP, CTP, GTP, or UTP) to protect against chemical modification by either fluorescein isothiocyanate or maleimidylanilinonapthalene sulfonic acid. More specifically, circular dichroism spectroscopy was used to estimate the secondary structure of the His6 loop, revealing an ordered folding composed of 23% alpha-helix, 23% antiparallel beta-sheet, 4% parallel beta-sheet, 19% beta-turn, and 32% random coil. The 6-histidine loop bound the fluorescent ATP analog trinitrophenyl-ATP with high affinity, as determined by measuring the fluorescence changes associated with binding. Affinities for ATP ( approximately 350 microM) and ADP ( approximately 550 microM) were determined by their ability to compete with and displace 2',3'-O-[2,4,6,-trinitrophenyl]-ATP. These nucleotide affinities are similar to those observed for the E2 conformation of the intact Na,K-ATPase.

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
According to the Albers-Post model the hydrolysis of ATP catalyzed by the Na+/K(+)-ATPase requires the sequential formation of at least two conformers of a phosphoenzyme (E1P and E2P), followed by the K(+)-stimulated hydrolysis of E2P. In this paper we show that this model is a particular case of a more general class of models in all of which the ratio between ATPase activity (v) and total phosphoenzyme level (EP) in steady state is determined solely by the rate constants of interconversion between phosphoconformers and of dephosphorylation. Since these are thought to be unaffected by ATP, the substrate curves for ATPase activity and EP should be identical in shape so that the ratio v/EP ought to be independent of the concentration of ATP. We tested this prediction by parallel measurements of v and EP as a function of [ATP] in the absence or presence of non-limiting concentrations of K+, Rb+ or NH+4. In the absence of K+ or its congeners, both curves followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics, with almost identical Km values (0.16 microM) so that v/EP remained independent of [ATP]. In the presence of either K+, Rb+ or NH+4, v and EP increased with [ATP] along the sum of two Michaelis-Menten equations. The biphasic response of v is well known but, to the best of our knowledge, our results are the first demonstration that the response of EP to [ATP] is also biphasic. Under these conditions, the ratio v/EP increased with [ATP] from 19.8 to 40.1 s-1 along a hyperbola that was half-maximal at 9.5 microM. To preserve the validity of the current model it seems necessary to assume that ATP acts on the E1P <--> E2P transition and/or on the rate of hydrolysis of E2P. The latter possibility was ruled out. We also found that to fit the Albers-Post model to our data, the rate constant for K+ deocclussion from E2 has to be about 10-times higher than that reported from measurements of partial reactions. The results indicate that the Albers-Post model quantitatively predicts the experimental behavior of the Na(+)-ATPase activity but is unable to do this for the Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity, unless additional and yet unproved hypothesis are included.

Abstract
We have examined the possibility that interaction of (alpha beta) protomers within a diprotomer is responsible for some anomalous characteristics of red cell Na,K-ATPase by examining their response to two inhibitors, FITC and H2DIDS, which bind covalently, and to ouabain, which debinds slowly from red cell pumps. The phenomena we examined were: (1) the biphasic curve relating Na,K-ATPase activity to ATP concentration, and (2) protection of Na pumps against vanadate inhibition by external Na. If interaction of (alpha beta) protomers within a diprotomer were responsible for these phenomena, random inactivation of (alpha beta) protomers should have resulted in a high proportion of (alpha beta) promtomers with an inhibited protomer as a partner, and therefore should have significantly altered the consequences of subunit interaction. With each inhibitor, 60-70% inhibition of ATPase activity did not alter the functional characteristics of the residual activity. We conclude that interaction of functional (alpha beta) protomers does not explain the phenomena which we investigated. This is consistent with our previous observation that Na,K pumps of red cell membranes exist as monomeric (alpha beta) protomers (Martin, D.W. and Sachs, V.R. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 23922-23929).

Abstract
These experiments examined effects of several ligands on the K+ p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity of the (Na+,K+)-ATPase in membranes of a rat brain cortex synaptosomal preparation. K(+)-independent hydrolysis of this substrate by the synaptosomal preparation was studied in parallel; the rate of hydrolysis in the absence of K+ was approximately 75% less than that observed when K+ was included in the incubation medium. The response to the H+ concentrations was different: K(+)-independent activity showed a pH optimum around 6.5-7.0, while the K(+)-dependent activity was relatively low at this pH range. Ouabain (0.1 mM) inhibited K(+)-dependent activity 50%; a concentration 10 times higher did not produce any appreciable effect on the K(+)-independent activity. Na+ did not affect K(+)-independent activity at all, while the same ligand concentration inhibited sharply the K(+)-dependent activity; this inhibition was not competitive with the substrate, p-nitrophenyl phosphate. K(+)-dependent activity was stimulated by Mg2+ with low affinity (millimolar range), and 3 mM Mg2+ produced a slight stimulation of the activity in absence of K+, which could be interpreted as Mg2+ occupying the K+ sites. Ca2+ had no appreciable effect on the activity in the absence of K+. However, in the presence of K+ a sharp inhibition was found with all Ca2+ concentrations studied. ATP (0.5 mM) did not affect the K(+)-independent activity, but this nucleotide behaved as a competitive inhibitor to p-nitrophenylphosphate. Pi inhibited activity in the presence of K+, competitively to the substrate, so it could be considered as the second product of the reaction sequence.

Abstract
The chromium complex of adenosine 5'-[beta,gamma-methylene]triphosphate, Cr(H2O)4AdoPP[CH2]P, inactivates Na+/K(+)-ATPase from pig kidney at 37 degrees C with an inactivation velocity constant of 7.1 x 10(-3) min-1 by binding to the high-affinity ATP site (E1ATP site). The dissociation constant (Kd) of the analogue at this site is 26 microM, and of ATP 0.8 microM. Inactivation of the overall reaction of Na+/K(+)-ATPase by Cr(H2O)4AdoPP[CH2]P did not alter the activities of the E2 conformational state such as K(+)-activated p-nitrophenylphosphatase, 86Rb+ occlusion and [3H]ouabain binding by the 'backdoor' phosphorylation. However, [3H]ouabain binding via the forwards reaction from E1ATP in the presence of Na+ + Mg2+ is inhibited. K(+)-activated p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity of the Cr(H2O)4AdoPP[CH2]P-inactivated enzyme decreases when an MgATP analogue, the tetraammine cobalt complex of ATP, Co(NH3)4ATP, is used additionally to inactivate the E2ATP site. The enzyme activity of K(+)-activated phosphatase is also lost if the beta,gamma-bidentate chromium(III) complex of ATP, Cr(H2O)4ATP, which may form a stable E1-chromo-phosphointermediate, is used for the inactivation of Na+/K(+)-ATPase. We conclude that the phenomenon of a blockade of the overall reaction of Na+/K(+)-ATPase by the formation of a stable E1.CrAdoPP[CH2]P complex, leading thereby to a loss of the partial activities of the E1 conformation, but not of the E2 conformation, is consistent with the postulate of an (alpha beta)2 diprotomeric nature of the sodium pump. The observation, moreover, that treatment of the sodium pump with Cr(H2O)4ATP but not with Cr(H2O)4AdoPP[CH2]P leads to an inactivation of K(+)-activated phosphatase seems to indicate that the formation of a E1-phosphointermediate affects the E2ATP site.

Abstract
The photoaffinity analog of ATP, 3'-O-(4-benzoyl)benzoyl-adenosine 5'-triphosphate (Bz2ATP) was used to covalently label and to identify the ATP binding site of the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor. Like ATP, Bz2ATP stimulates up to fivefold the binding of ryanodine to its receptor. Photoactivation by ultraviolet light of the benzophenone group in the [alpha-32P]Bz2ATP results in covalent binding of [alpha-32P]Bz2ATP to the 450-kDa polypeptide, the ryanodine receptor's subunit. An apparent molar stiochiometry of Bz2ATP to the tetrameric ryanodine receptor complex of 1.146 +/- 0.087 (n = 2) was estimated. The covalent binding of [alpha-32P]Bz2ATP was inhibited by ATP and analogous compounds in the order: ATP = AdoPP[CH2]P = ADP = Ado = cAMP > AMP > ITP = GTP. Similar specificity was obtained for the stimulation of ryanodine binding by these nucleotides. ATP increased the ryanodine binding affinity by about sixfold. The polycationic dye ruthenium red, known as an inhibitor of Ca2+ release and ryanodine binding, inhibited the labeling of the ryanodine receptor by [alpha-32P]Bz2ATP. Tryptic digestion of the ryanodine receptor revealed a [alpha-32P]Bz2ATP-labeled 76-kDa tryptic fragment. Digestion of either the [alpha-32P]Bz2ATP-labeled 450-kDa or the 76-kDa polypeptides with S. aureus resulted in the appearance of four labeled fragments of 39, 33, 27 and 13 kDa, where the 39-kDa fragment is the precursor of the 27-kDa and 13-kDa fragments. The results suggest that the regulation of Ca2+ release by ATP involves an ATP binding site(s) located on the 27-kDa and 13-kDa fragments of the ryanodine receptor protein.

Abstract
Stopped-flow fluorometry has been used to measure the forward and reverse rates of the conformational change from E1 to E2 in the fluorescein-modified proton and sodium pumps (1) as a function of Na+ and K+ concentrations to verify the proposed mechanism of ion interaction with the enzymes and (2) as a function of temperature to gain insight into the nature of the conformational transition. (1) The fluorescence changes caused by Na+ and K+ are consistent with rapid competitive binding of the two ions to the E1 conformations of the enzymes followed by rate-limiting transitions between E1K and E2K. (2) Reaction coordinate diagrams for the E1K to E2K transitions in the H,K-ATPase and Na,K-ATPase are qualitatively similar. Enthalpy barriers to reaction are partially compensated by increased entropy in the transition states. However, there are striking quantitative differences between the two enzymes. The E2K to E1K reaction of the H,K-ATPase is more than 2 orders of magnitude faster (tau 1/2 = 6 ms at 22 degrees C) than the reverse rate of the Na,K-ATPase transition (tau 1/2 = 1.6 s), explaining repeated failure to detect a K(+)-"occluded" form of the H,K-enzyme. The E2K conformer of the Na,K-ATPase is 3 orders of magnitude more stable than E1K, while the E1K and E2K conformations of the H,K-ATPase are nearly equivalent energetically.

Abstract
Tetrammine cobalt(III) phosphate [Co(NH3)4PO4] inactivates Na+/K(+)-ATPase in the E2 conformational state, dependent on time and concentration, according to Eqn (1): Co(NH3)4PO4 + E2 Kd in equilibrium E2.Co(NH3)4PO4k2----E'2.Co(NH3)4PO4. The inactivation rate constant k2 for the formation of a stable E'2.Co(NH3)4PO4 at 37 degrees C was 0.057 min-1; the dissociation constant, Kd = 300 microM. The activation energy for the inactivation process was 149 kJ/mol. ATP and the uncleavable adenosine 5'-[beta, gamma-methylene]triphosphate competed with Co(NH3)4PO4 for its binding site with Ks = 0.41 mM and 5 mM, respectively. MgPO4 competed with Co(NH3)4PO4 linearly, with Ks = 50 microM, as did phosphate (Ks = 16 mM) and Mg2+ (Ks = 160 microM). It is concluded that the MgPO4 analogue binds to the MgPO4-binding subsite of the low-affinity ATP-binding site (of the E2 conformation). Also, Na+ (Ks = 860 microM) protected the enzyme against inactivation in a competitive manner. From the intersecting (slope and intercept linear) noncompetitive effect of Na+ against the inactivation by Co(NH3)4PO4, apparent affinities of K+ for the free enzyme of 41 microM, and for the E.Co(NH3)4PO4 complex of 720 microM, were calculated. Binding of Co(NH3)4PO4 to the enzyme inactivated Na+/K(+)-ATPase and K(+)-activated phosphatase, and, moreover, prevented the occlusion of 86Rb+; however, the activity of the Na(+)-ATPase, the phosphorylation capacity of the high-affinity ATP-binding site and the ATP/ADP-exchange reaction remained unchanged. With Co(NH3)432PO4 a binding capacity of 135 pmol unit enzyme was found. Phosphorylation and complete inactivation of the enzyme with Co(NH3)432PO4 or the 32P-labelled tetramminecobalt ATP ([gamma-32P]Co(NH3)4ATP) at the low-affinity ATP-binding site, allowed (independent of the purity of the Na+/K(+)-ATPase preparation) a further incorporation of radioactivity from 32P-labelled tetraaquachromium(III) ATP ([gamma-32P]CrATP) to the high-affinity ATP-binding site with unchanged phosphorylation capacity. However, inactivation and phosphorylation of Na+/K(+)-ATPase by [gamma-32P]CrATP prevented the binding of Co(NH3)4 32PO4 or [gamma-32P]Co(NH3)4ATP to the enzyme. [gamma-32P]CO(NH3)4ATP and Co(NH3)432PO4 are mutually exclusive. The data are consistent with the assumption of a cooperation of catalytic subunits within an (alpha,beta)2-diprotomer, which change their interactions during the Na+/K(+)-pumping process. Our findings seem not to support a symmetrical Repke and Stein model of enzyme action.

Abstract
Nonmonotonic velocity vs. membrane potential curves are often taken as evidence that two steps involve charge movement through the electric field. However, a branched reaction scheme in which only one step involves charge movement per cycle can lead to a nonmonotonic response. A similar case occurs in enzyme kinetics: nonmonotonic velocity vs. substrate curves are often taken as evidence for two different substrate-binding sites. However, a branched reaction scheme in which only one substrate binds per complete cycle can lead to a nonmonotonic response (see Segel, I.H. 1975, Enzyme Kinetics, pp. 657-659. John Wiley & Sons, New York). Some analytical constraints on the relative sizes of the rate constants of a branched reaction mechanism that give rise to nonmonotonic responses are derived. There are two necessary conditions. (i) The rate of at least one step in the branched pathway must be less than the rate of the step after the branch. (ii) The rate of the pathway in which S binds first must be slower than the rate of the other pathway. Analogous cases give rise to nonmonotonic current vs. membrane potential curves. A branched mechanism for the Na/K pump provides an alternative explanation for a nonmonotonic pump current vs. membrane potential relationship.

Abstract
Inactivation of Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity by the MgPO4 complex analogue Co(NH3)4PO4 leads, in everted red blood cell vesicles, to the parallel inactivation of 22Na+/K+ flux and 86Rb/Rb+ exchange, but leaves the 22Na+/Na(+)-exchange activity and the uncoupled ATP-supported 22Na+ transport unaffected. Furthermore, inactivation of purified Na+/K(+)-ATPase by Co(NH3)4PO4 leads to a parallel decrease of the capacity of the [3H]ouabain receptor site, when binding was studied by the Mg2+/Pi-supported pathway (ouabain-enzyme complex II) but the capacity of the ouabain receptor site was unaltered, when the Na+/Mg2+/ATP-supported pathway (ouabain-enzyme complex I) was used. No change in the dissociation constants of either ouabain receptor complex was observed following inactivation of Na+/K(+)-ATPase. When eosin was used as a marker for the high-affinity ATP-binding site of the E1 conformation, formation of stable E'2.Co(NH3)4PO4 complex led to a shift in the high-affinity ATP-binding site towards the sodium form. This led to an increase in the dissociation constant of the enzyme complex with K+, from 1.4 mM with the unmodified enzyme to 280 mM with the Co(NH3)4PO4-inactivated enzyme. It was concluded, that the effects of Co(NH3)4PO4 on the partial activities of the sodium pump are difficult to reconcile with an alpha, beta-protomeric enzyme working according the Albers-Post scheme. The data are consistent with an alpha 2, beta 2 diprotomeric enzyme of interacting catalytic subunits working with a modified version of the Albers-Post model.

Abstract
The Na+,K(+)-ATPase is a membrane-bound, sulfhydryl-containing protein whose activity is critical to maintenance of cell viability. The susceptibility of the enzyme to radical-induced membrane lipid peroxidation was determined following incorporation of a purified Na+,K(+)-ATPase into soybean phosphatidylcholine liposomes. Treatment of liposomes with Fenton's reagent (Fe2+/H2O2) resulted in malondialdehyde formation and total loss of Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity. At 150 microM Fe2+/75 microM H2O2, vitamin E (5 mol%) totally prevented lipid peroxidation but not the loss of enzyme activity. Lipid peroxidation initiated by 25 microM Fe2+/12.5 microM H2O2 led to a loss of Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity, however, vitamin E (1.2 mol%) prevented both malondialdehyde formation and loss of enzyme activity. In the absence of liposomes, there was complete loss of Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity in the presence of 150 microM Fe2+/75 microM H2O2, but little effect by 25 microM Fe2+/12.5 microM H2O2. The activity of the enzyme was also highly sensitive to radicals generated by the reaction of Fe2+ with cumene hydroperoxide, t-butylhydroperoxide, and linoleic acid hydroperoxide. Lipid peroxidation initiated by 150 microM Fe2+/150 microM Fe3+, an oxidant which may be generated by the Fenton's reaction, inactivated the enzyme. In this system, inhibition of malondialdehyde formation by vitamin E prevented loss of Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity. These data demonstrate the susceptibility of the Na+,K(+)-ATPase to radicals produced during lipid peroxidation and indicate that the ability of vitamin E to prevent loss of enzyme activity is highly dependent upon both the nature and the concentration of the initiating and propagating radical species.

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
At high concentrations of ATP, ATP hydrolysis and Ca2+ transport by the (Ca2+ + MG2+)-ATPase of intact sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles exhibit a secondary activation that varies with the extent of back-inhibition by Ca2+ accumulated within the vesicles. When the internal ionized Ca2+ is clamped at low and intermediate levels by the use of Ca-precipitating anions, the apparent Km values for activation by ATP are lower than in fully back-inhibited vesicles (high internal Ca2+). In leaky vesicles unable to accumulate Ca2+, raising Ca2+ in the assay medium from 20-30 microM to 5 mM abolishes the activation of hydrolysis by high concentrations of ATP. The level of [32P]phosphoenzyme formed during ATP hydrolysis from [32P]phosphate added to the medium also varies with the extent of back-inhibition; it is highest when Ca2+ is raised to a level that saturates the internal, low-affinity Ca2+ binding sites. In intact vesicles, increasing the ATP concentration from 10 to 400 microM competitively inhibits the reaction of inorganic phosphate with the enzyme but does not change the rate of hydrolysis. In a previous report (De Meis, L., Gomez-Puyou, M.T. and Gomez-Puyou, A. (1988) Eur. J. Biochem. 171, 343-349), it has been shown that the hydrophobic molecules trifluoperazine and iron bathophenanthroline compete for the catalytic site of the Pi-reactive form of the enzyme. Here it is shown that inhibition of ATP hydrolysis by these compounds is reduced or abolished when Ca2+ binds to the low-affinity Ca2+ binding sites of the enzyme. Since inhibition by these agents is indifferent to activation of hydrolysis by high concentrations of ATP, it is suggested that the second Km for ATP and the inhibition by hydrophobic molecules involve two different Ca-free forms of the enzyme.

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. Inactivation of purified Na+/K+-transporting ATPase by the MgATP complex analogue Co(NH3)4ATP, which binds to the low-affinity ATP-binding site, results in the concomitant inhibition of the K+-activated p-nitrophenylphosphatase, which is considered to be a partial reaction catalyzed by the enzyme in the E2 conformational state. 2. Complete inactivation of Na+/K+-transporting ATPase by Co(NH3)4ATP does not alter the ADP/ATP exchange reaction which is considered to be part of the catalytic activity in the E1 conformation. 3. The enzyme binds eosin at the high-affinity ATP-binding site as measured by the change in eosin fluorescence. Eosin binding to the Co(NH3)4ATP-inactivated enzyme is, in contrast to the untreated enzyme, not stimulated by Na1. Inactivation by Co(NH3)4ATP increased the half-maximal opposing effect of K+ on eosin binding from 1.1 mM in the control to 43.2 mM in the almost completely inactive enzyme. No eosin fluorescence changes were observed when the Co(NH3)4ATP-inactivated enzyme was treated subsequently with CrATP. This MgATP complex analogue forms a stable complex at the high-affinity ATP-binding site. CrATP thus abolishes eosin binding. 4. It is concluded, that Co(NH3)4ATP interacts with Na+/K+-transporting ATPase in the E2 conformation and arrests it there. This affects eosin binding to the high-affinity ATP-binding site, since the K+ sensitivity is lost. A possible interpretation of these differing effects of Co(NH3)4ATP on partial reactions of Na+/K+-transporting ATPase is that the sodium pump works as an (alpha,beta)2 diprotomer. It is likely that the arrest of one alpha,beta promoter in the E2 conformational state by occupancy of the low-affinity ATP-binding site with Co(NH3)4ATP induces the Na+ form (E1 form) in the corresponding alpha,beta promoter, as is indicated by the unaffected ADP/ATP exchange and the response of the eosin fluorescence on Na+ and K+.
