Abstract
Halenaquinol inhibited the partial reactions of ATP hydrolysis by rat brain cortex Na(+),K(+)-ATPase, such as [3H]ATP binding to the enzyme, Na(+)-dependent front-door phosphorylation from [gamma-(33)P]ATP, and also Na(+)- and K(+)-dependent E(1)<-->E(2) conformational transitions of the enzyme. Halenaquinol abolished the positive cooperativity between the Na(+)- and K(+)-binding sites on the enzyme. ATP and sulfhydryl-containing reagents (cysteine and dithiothreitol) protected the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase against inhibition. Halenaquinol can react with additional vital groups in the enzyme after blockage of certain sulfhydryl groups with 5,5'-dithio-bis-nitrobenzoic acid. Halenaquinol inhibited [3H]ouabain binding to Na(+),K(+)-ATPase under phosphorylating and non-phosphorylating conditions. Binding of fluorescein 5'-isothiocyanate to Na(+),K(+)-ATPase and intensity of fluorescence of enzyme tryptophanyl residues were decreased by halenaquinol. We suggest that interaction of halenaquinol with the essential sulfhydryls in/or near the ATP-binding site of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase resulted in a change of protein conformation and subsequent alteration of overall and partial enzymatic reactions.
