Oleic and linoleic acids are active principles in Nigella sativa and stabilize an E(2)P conformation of the Na,K-ATPase. Fatty acids differentially regulate cardiac glycoside interaction with the pump. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-BIOMEMBRANES 2011; 1808:2413-20.

Abstract
Nigella sativa seed oil was found to contain a modulator of Na,K-ATPase. Separation analyses combined with (1)H NMR and GCMS identified the inhibitory fraction as a mixture of oleic and linoleic acids. These two fatty acids are specifically concentrated in several medicinal plant oils, and have particularly been implicated in decreasing high blood pressure. The ouabain binding site on Na,K-ATPase has also been implicated in blood pressure regulation. Thus, we aimed to determine how these two molecules modify pig kidney Na,K-ATPase. Oleic and linoleic acids did not modify reactions involving the E(1) (Na(+)) conformations of the Na,K-ATPase. In contrast, K(+) dependent reactions were strongly modified after treatment. Oleic and linoleic acids were found to stabilize a pump conformation that binds ouabain with high affinity, i.e., an ion free E(2)P form. Time-resolved binding assays using anthroylouabain, a fluorescent ouabain analog, revealed that the increased ouabain affinity is unique to oleic and linoleic acids, as compared with γ-linolenic acid, which decreased pump-mediated ATP hydrolysis but did not equally increase ouabain interaction with the pump. Thus, the dynamic changes in plasma levels of oleic and linoleic acids are important in the modulation of the sensitivity of the sodium pump to cardiac glycosides. Given the possible involvement of the cardiac glycoside binding site on Na,K-ATPase in the regulation of hypertension, we suggest oleic acid to be a specific chaperon that modulates interaction of cardiac glycosides with the sodium pump.

Abstract
Calcium pump-catalyzed (18)O exchange between inorganic phosphate and water was studied to test the hypothesis that all P-type pumps bind Mg(2+) before P(i) and validate utilization of the rate equation for ordered binding to interpret differences between site-directed mutants and wild-type enzyme. The results were remarkably similar to those obtained earlier with sodium pump (Kasho, V. N., Stengelin, M., Smirnova, I. N., and Faller, L. D. (1997) Biochemistry 36, 8045- 8052). The equation for ordered binding of Mg(2+) before P(i) fit the data best with only a slight chance (0.6%) of P(i) binding to apoenzyme. Therefore, P(i) is the substrate, and Mg(2+) is an obligatory cofactor. The intrinsic Mg(2+) dissociation constant from metalloenzyme (K(M) = 3.5 +/- 0.3 mm) was experimentally indistinguishable from the sodium pump value. However, the half-maximal concentration for P(i) binding to metalloenzyme ((K(p)(')=6.3+/-0.6 mM)) was significantly higher ( approximately 6-fold), and the probability of calcium pump forming phosphoenzyme from bound P(i) (P(c) = 0.04 +/- 0.03) was significantly lower ( approximately 6-fold) than for the sodium pump. From estimates of the rate constants for phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, the calcium pump appears to catalyze phosphoryl group transfer less efficiently than the sodium pump. Ordered binding of Mg(2+) before P(i) implies that both calcium pump and sodium pump form a ternary enzyme.metal.phosphate complex, consistent with molecular structures of other haloacid dehalogenase superfamily members that were crystallized with Mg(2+) and phosphate, or a phosphate analogue, bound.

Abstract
Enterocyte has two different Na+-stimulated ATPases, the ouabain-sensitive Na+/K+ ATPase and a furosemide-inhibitable Na+ ATPase. To identify the polypeptide associated with the Na+-ATPase, 32Pi phosphorylation into basolateral membranes of enterocyte was investigated. Both, ouabain and furosemide induced Mg2+-dependent, vanadate-sensitive 32Pi incorporation into a 100kDa polypeptide. K(m) for Pi was 17.7+/-1.82 microM and 16.8+/-0.69 microM for ouabain-induced and furosemide-induced phosphorylation, respectively. K(m) for furosemide was 1.3+/-0.21 mM. Furosemide-induced 32Pi incorporation was sensitive to alkaline pH and hydroxylamine suggesting an acyl-phosphate bond. Na+ and K+ inhibited 32Pi incorporation induced by ouabain. In contrast, Na+ stimulated furosemide-induced phosphorylation with a K(m) of 16.5+/-5.59 mM while K+ had no effect. Purified Na+/K+ ATPase only presented ouabain-induced phosphoprotein, indicating that furosemide-induced phosphorylation is not related to this enzyme and appears to correspond to a new member of P-type ATPases associated with the second Na+ pump.

Abstract
Palytoxin (PTX) inhibits the (Na(+) + K+)-driven pump and simultaneously opens channels that are equally permeable to Na+ and K+ in red cells and other cell membranes. In an effort to understand the mechanism by which PTX induces these fluxes, we have studied the effects of PTX on: 1) K+ and Na+ occlusion by the pump protein; 2) phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of the enzyme when a phosphoenzyme is formed from ATP and from P(i); and 3) p-nitro phenyl phosphatase (p-NPPase) activity associated with the (Na+, K+)-ATPase. We have found that palytoxin 1) increases the rate of deocclusion of K+(Rb+) in a time- and concentration-dependent manner, whereas Na+ occluded in the presence of oligomycin is unaffected by the toxin; 2) makes phosphorylation from P(i) insensitive to K+, and 3) stimulates the p-NPPase activity. The results are consistent with the notion that PTX produces a conformation of the Na+, K(+)-pump that resembles the one observed when ATP is bound to its low-affinity binding site. Further, they suggest that the channels that are formed by PTX might arise as a consequence of a perturbation in the ATPase structure, leading to the loss of control of the outside "gate" of the enzyme and hence to an uncoupling of the ion transport from the catalytic function of the ATPase.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The decreases in proximal tubule sodium reabsorption seen with chronic renal failure and volume expansion have been ascribed to circulating digitalis-like substances (DLS). However, the circulating concentrations of DLS do not acutely inhibit the sodium pump to a degree consistent with the observed changes in proximal tubule sodium reabsorption. METHODS We examined how cell lines that simulated proximal (LLC-PK1) and distal tubule (MDCK) cells responded to acute (30 min) and long-term (up to 12 hours) Na+,K+-ATPase inhibition with DLS. RESULTS In LLC-PK1, but not MDCK cells, low concentrations of ouabain decreased 86Rb uptake profoundly in a time and dose dependent manner. In LLC-PK1 cells grown to confluence, transcellular 22Na flux was markedly reduced in concert with the decreases in 86Rb uptake. Similar findings were observed with marinobufagenin (MBG) and deproteinated extract of serum derived from patients with chronic renal failure. However, inhibition of the Na+,K+-ATPase with low extracellular potassium concentrations did not produce any of these effects. Western and Northern blots detected no change in alpha1 Na+,K+-ATPase protein and message RNA, respectively, in LLC-PK1 cells treated with ouabain for 12 hours. However, the decrease in enzymatic activity of Na+,K+-ATPase of these cells was comparable to observed decreases in 86Rb uptake. Differential centrifugation as well as biotinylation experiments demonstrated a shift of the Na+,K+-ATPase from the plasmalemma with prolonged ouabain treatment. CONCLUSIONS The results show that binding of cardiac glycosides by proximal (but not distal) tubular cells results in internalization of Na+,K+-ATPase with the net effect to amplify inhibition of the Na+,K+-ATPase. As the circulating concentrations of DLS increase with chronic renal failure and volume expansion, we suggest that this phenomenon explains some of the decreased sodium reabsorption by the proximal tubule seen in these conditions.

Abstract
The reactivity towards Na+ and K+ of Na+/K+-ATPase phosphoenzymes formed from ATP and Pi during Na+-ATPase turnover and that obtained from Pi in the absence of ATP, Na+ and K+ was studied. The phosphoenzyme formed from Pi in the absence of cycling and with no Na+ or K+ in the medium showed a biphasic time-dependent breakdown. The fast component, 96% of the total EP, had a decay rate of about 4 s(-1) in K+-free 130 mm Na+, and was 40% inhibited by 20 mm K+. The slow component, about 0.14 s(-1), was K+ insensitive. Values for the time-dependent breakdown of the phosphoenzymes obtained from ATP and from Pi during Na+-ATPase activity were indistinguishable from each other. In K+-free medium containing 130 mm Na+, the decays followed a single exponential with a rate constant of 0.45 s(-1). The addition of 20 mm K+ markedly increased the decays and made them biphasic. The fast components had a rate of approximately 220 s-1 and accounted for 92-93% of the total phosphoenzyme. The slow components decayed at a rate of about 47-53 s(-1). A second group of experiments examined the reactivity towards Na+ of the E2P forms obtained with ATP and Pi when the enzyme was cycling. In both cases, the rate of dephosphorylation was a biphasic function of [Na+]: inhibition at low [Na+], with a minimum at about 5 mm Na+, followed by recovery at higher [Na+]. Although qualitatively similar, the phosphoenzyme formed from Pi showed slightly less inhibition and more pronounced recovery. These results indicate that forward and backward phosphorylation during Na+-ATPase turnover share the same intermediates.

Abstract
A series of six different mutants (D804A, D804E, D804G, D804N, D804Q, and D804S) of aspartate 804 present in transmembrane segment 6 of the rat Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha(1)-subunit were prepared and expressed in Sf9 cells by use of the baculovirus expression system. In contrast to the wild-type enzyme all mutants except D804Q showed a very high Na(+)-ATPase activity, which was hardly further stimulated by the addition of K(+). The ATPase activity of the mutants was already nearly maximal at 10 microM ATP and most of them could be phosphorylated in the absence of Na(+) at pH 6.0 and 21 degrees C, suggesting that they strongly prefer the E(1) over the E(2) conformation. However, Na(+) dose-dependently lowered the steady-state phosphorylation level, as a consequence of the increased affinity for Na(+) in the dephosphorylation reaction of the mutants compared to the wild-type enzyme. Conversely, the affinity for K(+) in the dephosphorylation reaction was decreased for the mutants as compared to that for the wild-type enzyme. When the pH was increased or the temperature was decreased, the phosphorylation level of the mutants decreased and the Na(+) activation in the phosphorylation reaction became apparent. It is concluded that upon mutation of aspartate 804 the affinity of the cation-binding pocket is changed relatively in favor of Na(+) instead of K(+), as a consequence of which the enzyme has obtained a preference for the E(1) conformation.

Abstract
AbstractBackground: Xenotransplantation of pig hearts to humans could be hampered by the reportedly reduced affinity for digoxin of pig heart. We examined the hypothesis that expression of the individual α-subunit isoforms of the sodium pump [Na+,K+-ATPase (NKA)], the receptor for the plant-derived cardiac glycosides, may be responsible for this difference.Methods: We used a NKA-inhibition assay in combination with Western analysis, immunohistochemistry, and phosphorylation of the NKA α subunit to identify the distribution and expression of α isoforms in four chambers of porcine and human hearts.Results: We confirmed that tissue from porcine heart is less sensitive to digitalis (IC50 = 1740 nmol/L) when compared with human heart (IC50 = 840 nmol/L), whereas porcine cerebral cortex-mix had an affinity comparable to that of human heart (IC50 = 910 nmol/L). Our data show that porcine cerebral cortex-mix and human heart contain all three α isoforms, whereas porcine heart expresses only the α1 isoform.Conclusions: The different expressions of sodium pump isoforms in human vs porcine cardiac tissues suggests that porcine hearts may not be pharmacologically or endocrinologically compatible when used in humans. Studies of both pharmacologic and endocrinologic tissue compatibility are needed prior to selection of organs for xenotransplantation.

Abstract
Ouabain is a plant-derived cardiac glycoside that inhibits the catalytic activity of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase (sodium pump; NKA). Dihydroouabain, a derivative of ouabain with a reduced lactone ring, is commonly used as a sodium pump antagonist. It has been assumed that commercially available dihydroouabain is homogeneous. We now report that preparations of dihydroouabain contain two components each with a different potency for inhibition of sodium pump activity. We used reverse-phase HPLC chromatography, UV spectrophotometry, electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and two independent bioassays to characterize these compounds. The two dihydroouabain fractions (Dho-A and Dho-B) resolved by 3 min chromatographically, had UV absorbance maxima at 196 nm, and comprised 37% and 63% of the stock dihydroouabain, respectively. The molar potency of each component for inhibition of NKA from porcine cerebral cortex differed by 4. 4-fold (Dho-A, IC(50) = 7.13 +/- 0.8 microM; Dho-B, IC(50) = 1.63 +/- 0.12 microM). The relative potencies were 9% and 40% of those of ouabain, respectively. A similar pattern for phosphorylation of NKA was observed. Mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and fragmentation patterns are consistent with Dho-A and Dho-B being isomers of identical molecular mass (587 Da) and each with six hydroxyl groups, a deoxyhexose sugar moiety and a lactone ring. Furthermore, NMR spectroscopy revealed structural differences between Dho-A and Dho-B by displaying noticeably different chemical shifts at only two groups of proton resonances assigned to H-21 and H-22. The ESI-MS and NMR results confirm the presence of the isomerism at C20 of the lactone ring. Our results demonstrate the existence of two molecular forms of dihydroouabain, each with a different biological potency. These findings underscore the importance of characterizing the purity of dihydroouabain commercial preparations. It also provides possible molecular models for investigating the metabolism of endogenous ouabain-like factors recently reported in mammals.

Abstract
This paper extends our recent report on specific iron-catalyzed oxidative cleavages of renal Na,K-ATPase and effects of E1 left arrow over right arrow E2 conformational transitions (Goldshleger, R. , and Karlish, S. J. D. (1997) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 94, 9596-9601). The experiments indicate that only peptide bonds close to a bound Fe2+ ion are cleaved, and provide evidence on proximity of the different cleavage positions in the native enzyme. A sequence HFIH near trans-membrane segment M3 appears to be involved in Fe2+ binding. Previously we hypothesized that E2 and E1 conformations are characterized by formation or relaxation of interactions within the alpha subunit at or near highly conserved sequences, TGES in the minor cytoplasmic loop and CSDK, MVTGD, and VNDSPALKK in the major cytoplasmic loop. This concept has been tested by examining iron-catalyzed cleavage in both non-phosphorylated and phosphorylated conformations and effects of phosphate, vanadate, and ouabain. The results imply that both E1 left arrow over right arrow E2 and E1P left arrow over right arrow E2P transitions are indeed associated with formation and relaxation of interactions between cytoplasmic domains, comprising the minor loop plus N-terminal tail leading into M1 and major loop, respectively. Furthermore, it appears that either non-covalently or covalently bound phosphate bind near CSDK and MVTGD, and Mg2+ ions may bind to residues within TGES and VNDSPALKK and to bound phosphate. Thus cytoplasmic domain interactions seem to occur within or near the active site. We discuss the relationship between structural changes in the cytoplasmic domain and movements of trans-membrane segments that lead to cation transport. Presumably conformation-dependent formation and relaxation of domain interactions underlie energy transduction in all P-type pumps.

Abstract
Chymotryptic cleavage of the Na,K-ATPase in NaCl medium abolishes ATPase activity and alters other functional parameters. The structure of this modified enzyme is uncertain since only one product of selective proteolysis, the 83-kDa fragment of the alpha-subunit (Ala267-C-terminus) has been identified previously. Here, we applied additional tryptic digestion followed by oxidative cross-linking to identify the products originating from the N-terminal part of the alpha-subunit. These fragments start at Ala72 or Thr74 and contain the transmembrane H1-H2 domain. Formation of cross-linked product between alpha-fragments containing H1-H2 and H7-H10 demonstrate that the structural integrity of the membrane moiety is preserved. We also determined that secondary cleavage of the 83-kDa fragment leads to the formation of C-terminal 48-kDa alpha-fragments with multiple N-termini at Ile582, Ser583, Met584 and Ile585.

Abstract
Mutations of D586 in the DPPR sequence of sodium pump decrease the enzyme's affinity for inorganic phosphate [Farley R. A., Heart, E., Kabalin, M., Putnam, D., Wang, K., Kasho, V. N., and Faller, L. D. (1997) Biochemistry 36, 941-951]. Therefore, it was proposed that D586 coordinates the Mg2+ required for catalytic activity. This hypothesis is tested (1) by determining the substrate for catalysis of 18O exchange between inorganic phosphate and water and (2) by comparing conserved amino acid sequences in P-type pumps with the primary structures of enzymes of known tertiary structure that catalyze phosphoryl group transfer. From the isotope exchange data, it is concluded that the Mg2+-dependent and Na+- and K+-stimulated ATPase binds Mg2+ before inorganic phosphate. Sequence homology is demonstrated between the conserved DPPR and MV(I,L)TGD sequences of P-type pumps and two conserved adenylate kinase sequences that coordinate Mg2+ and/or bind nucleotide in the crystal structure of the yeast enzyme. A model for the Mg2+ site of P-type pumps and the mechanism of phosphoryl group transfer is proposed and tested by demonstrating that the conserved sequences are also structurally homologous.

Abstract
The intracellular free Na+ concentration ([Na+]i) increases during muscarinic stimulation in salivary acinar cells. The present study examined in rat sublingual acini the role of extracellular Mg2+ in the regulation of the stimulated [Na+]i increase using the fluorescent sodium indicator benzofuran isophthalate (SBFI). The muscarinic induced rise in [Na+]i was approximately 4-fold greater in the absence of extracellular Mg2+. When Na+ efflux was blocked by the Na+,K+-ATPase inhibitor ouabain, the stimulated [Na+]i increase was comparable to that seen in an Mg2+-free medium. Moreover, ouabain did not add further to the stimulated [Na+]i increase in an Mg2+-free medium suggesting that removal of extracellular Mg2+ may inhibit the Na+ pump. In agreement with this assumption, ouabain-sensitive Na+ efflux and rubidium uptake were reduced by extracellular Mg2+ depletion. Our results suggest that extracellular Mg2+ may regulate [Na+]i in sublingual salivary acinar cells by modulating Na+ pump activity.

Abstract
A trypsin-digested Na+/K+-ATPase that has lost ATPase activity and about half of its protein content retains an essentially intact beta-subunit, the 10 transmembrane domains of the alpha-subunit, and the full capacity to occlude Na+ and Rb+ (a congener of K+). When this preparation was incubated at 37 degrees C in the absence of Rb+, it lost half of its Rb+ occluding capacity and two-thirds of its Na+ occluding capacity. Comparison of the Rb+ occlusion-deocclusion kinetics of the digested enzyme before and after partial inactivation indicated that (a) the affinities of the labile and the stable halves of occluded Rb+ were the same; (b) occlusion and deocclusion rates of the stable pool were lower than those of the labile pool; (c) ATP at a low affinity site (K0.5 = 25-300 microM) increased deocclusion rate in the stable pool and occlusion rate in the labile pool; (d) Na+ increased Rb+ deocclusion rate of the sum of the two pools but not that of the stable pool; and (e) occlusion and deocclusion rates of both pools were decreased by ouabain. These findings suggest that (a) the peptide complex of the digested enzyme contains two distinct but interacting cation occlusion pockets, one occluding two Na+ or one Rb+, and the other occluding one Na+ or one Rb+; (b) this peptide complex that is devoid of the catalytic ATP site retains an allosteric ATP site; and (c) the access channels of the two pockets are regulated differently by ATP but similarly by ouabain. Analyses of the gel electrophoretic patterns of the digested enzyme and the N termini of the appropriate bands showed that inactivation of the labile occlusion pocket was accompanied by 60-70% loss of two alpha-fragments containing H3-H4 and H5-H6 transmembrane domains. This and the previously established interactions among the transmembrane helices of alpha- and beta-subunits suggest that one occlusion pocket is associated with H3-H6 domains and that the other is located within a complex of beta-subunit and two alpha-fragments containing H1-H2 and H7-H10 transmembrane domains.

Abstract
An extensively trypsin-digested Na+/K+-ATPase, which retains the ability to bind Na+, K+, and ouabain, consists of four fragments of the alpha-subunit that contain all 10 transmembrane alpha domains, and the beta-subunit, a fraction of which is cleaved at Arg142-Gly143. In previous studies, we solubilized this preparation with a detergent and mapped the relative positions of several transmembrane helices of the subunits by chemical cross-linking. To determine if these detected helix-helix proximities were representative of those existing in the bilayer prior to solubilization, we have now done similar studies on the membrane-bound preparation of the same digested enzyme. After oxidative sulfhydryl cross-linking catalyzed by Cu2+-phenanthroline, two prominent products were identified by their mobilities and the analyses of their N termini. One was a dimer of a 11-kDa alpha-fragment containing the H1-H2 helices and a 22-kDa alpha-fragment containing the H7-H10 helices. This dimer seemed to be the same as that obtained in the solubilized preparation. The other product was a trimer of the above two alpha-fragments and that fraction of beta whose extracellular domain was cleaved at Arg142-Gly143. This product was different from a similar one of the solubilized preparation in that the latter contained the predominant fraction of beta without the extracellular cleavage. The cross-linking reactions of the membrane preparation, but not those of the solubilized one, were hindered specifically by Na+, K+, and ouabain. These findings indicate that (a) the H1-H2 transmembrane helices of alpha are adjacent to some of its H7-H10 helices both in solubilized and membrane-bound states, (b) the alignment of the residues of the single transmembrane helix of beta with the interacting H1-H2 and H7-H10 helices of alpha is altered by detergent solubilization and by structural changes in the extracellular domain of beta, and (c) the three-dimensional packing of the interacting transmembrane helices of alpha and beta are regulated by the specific ligands of the enzyme.

Abstract
Purified kidney Na+, K(+)-ATPase whose alpha-subunit is cleaved by chymotrypsin at Leu266-Ala267, loses ATPase activity but forms the phosphoenzyme intermediate (EP) from ATP. When EP formation was correlated with extent of alpha-cleavage in the course of proteolysis, total EP increased with time before it declined. The magnitude of this rise indicated doubling of the number of phosphorylation sites after cleavage. Together with previous findings, these data establish that half of the alpha-subunits of oligomeric membrane-bound enzyme are dormant and that interaction of the N-terminal domain of alpha-subunit with its phosphorylation domain causes this half-site reactivity. Evidently, disruption of this interaction by proteolysis abolishes overall activity while it opens access to phosphorylation sites of all alpha-subunits.

Abstract
We have characterized the effects of hypoxia on carnitine metabolism in proximal tubules. Hypoxia for 10 minutes resulted in a significant increase in the mass of long chain acylcarnitines (LCAC) (control 53 +/- 20 vs. hypoxia 118 +/- 38 pmol. mg-1 protein). Since LCAC are proximal metabolites in the beta-oxidation of fatty acids, these data suggest that inhibition of fatty acid oxidation occurs during hypoxia in the proximal tubule. In addition to LCAC accumulation, hypoxia resulted in a significant increase in the mass of lysoplasmenylcholine LPLasCho (control 62 +/- 15 pmol/mg vs. 20 min hypoxia 146 +/- 21 pmol/mg protein, N = 4) and also in increases in the mass of monoacyl LPC (control 122 +/- 24 pmol/mg protein vs. 283 +/- 35 pmol/mg protein after 40 min of hypoxia). We tested the possibility that these compounds that accumulate during hypoxia could inhibit proximal tubule Na+, K(+)-ATPase. LPC, LPlasC, and LCAC inhibited proximal tubule nystatin-stimulated oxygen consumption (QO2) and proximal tubule Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, LPC, LPlasC, and LCAC directly inhibited' (65%, 80%, and 60%, respectively) Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity purified from kidney cortex at similar concentrations at which they accumulate during hypoxia (above 25 microM). The present data suggest that amphiphile accumulation may have a potential pathophysiologic role in the proximal tubule during renal ischemia.

Abstract
A number of fatty acids and derivatives have been shown to activate Na+/K(+)-ATPase when ATP is suboptimal. To explore the relation of the structures of these amphiphiles to enzyme activation, the effects of varying amphiphile concentrations on the activity of the highly purified kidney Na+/K(+)-ATPase at 50 microM ATP were determined. Among fatty acids, efficacy (maximal level of activation) and potency were found to be dependent, in different ways, on chain length and unsaturation. Compared to fatty acids, the corresponding alcohols had lower efficacies. Methyl esters of fatty acids inhibited, but CoA esters and monoacyl esters of glycerol activated the enzyme. Relation between chain length and potency among CoA esters and monoacylglycerols was the same as that observed with acids. Diacylglycerols did not activate, but they antagonized the effects of the activator amphiphiles. The substantial specificities of the amphiphile effects support the hypothesis that these ligands bind to a distinct amphipathic peptide segment of the intracellular central loop of the alpha-subunit to regulate ATP binding to the enzyme. The findings also suggest that direct effects of the changing intracellular levels of fatty acids and derivatives on Na+/K(+)-ATPase should be considered as a possible mechanism for the regulation of its function in the intact cell.

Abstract
To identify interfaces of alpha- and beta-subunits of Na+/K(+)-ATPase, and contact points between different regions of the same alpha-subunit, purified kidney enzyme preparations whose alpha-subunits were subjected to controlled proteolysis in different ways were solubilized with digitonin to disrupt intersubunit alpha,alpha-interactions, and oxidatively cross-linked. The following disulfide cross-linked products were identified by gel electrophoresis, staining with specific antibodies, and N-terminal analysis. 1) In the enzyme that was partially cleaved at Arg438-Ala439, the cross-linked products were an alpha,beta-dimer, a dimer of N-terminal and C-terminal alpha fragments, and a trimer of beta and the two alpha fragments. 2) From an extensively digested enzyme that contained the 22-kDa C-terminal and several smaller fragments of alpha, two cross-linked products were obtained. One was a dimer of the 22-kDa C-terminal peptide and an 11-kDa N-terminal peptide containing the first two intramembrane helices of alpha (H1-H2). The other was a trimer of beta, the 11-kDa, and the 22-kDa peptides. 3) The cross-linked products of a preparation partially cleaved at Leu266-Ala267 were an alpha,beta-dimer and a dimer of beta and the 83-kDa C-terminal fragment. Assuming the most likely 10-span model of alpha, these findings indicate that (a) the single intramembrane helix of beta is in contact with portions of H8-H10 intramembrane helices of alpha; and (b) there is close contact between N-terminal H1-H2 and C-terminal H8-H10 segments of alpha; with the most probable interacting helices being the H1,H10-pair and the H2,H8-pair.

Abstract
Chemical cross-linking studies are among a number of experimental approaches that have suggested the functional significance of higher association states of alpha,beta-protomers of Na+/K(+)-ATPase. Formation of the phosphointermediate of the enzyme on Asp369 of the alpha-subunit is known to induce oxidative cross-linking of the alpha-subunits catalyzed by Cu(2+)-phenanthroline. To localize the phosphorylation-induced alpha,alpha-interface, we cleaved alpha at Arg438-Ala439 by controlled proteolysis and exposed the partially cleaved enzyme to the cross-linking reagent. In addition to the alpha,alpha-dimer, two other phosphorylation-induced cross-linked products were obtained. Using gel electrophoretic resolution of the cross-linked 32P-labeled enzyme, N-terminal analyses of the products, and their reactivities with sequence-specific antibodies, the two products were identified as a homodimer of the C-terminal 64-kDa fragment of alpha and a heterodimer of alpha and the 64-kDa peptide. The latter dimer was also obtained when the cross-linked alpha,alpha-dimer was formed first and then subjected to proteolysis. The findings localize the dimerizing domain to the C-terminal side of Ala439 and indicate that intersubunit proximities of dimerizing domains are regulated by phosphorylation-dephosphorylation of Asp369 during the reaction cycle of the enzyme.

Abstract
To obtain further information on the role of H2O at the substrate site of Na+/K(+)-ATPase, we have studied the enzymes reaction with P(i) and ouabain in 40% (v/v) Me2SO (dimethylsulfoxide). When the enzyme (E) was incubated with ouabain (O) for 5 min in a 40% (v/v) Me2SO-medium with 5 mM MgCl2 and 0.5 mM KCl (but no phosphate), ouabain was bound (as EO). Subsequent incubation with P(i) showed that E, but not EO, was rapidly phosphorylated (to EP). Long-time phosphorylation revealed that EO is also phosphorylated by P(i) albeit very slowly (t1/2 about 60 min) and that binding of ouabain to EP also is very slow. The EOP complex is stable, i.e., the t1/2 for the loss of P(i) is >> 60 min in contrast to about 1 min in water. These results in 40% Me2SO are distinctly different from what would be obtained in a watery milieu: ouabain would bind slowly and inefficiently in the absence of P(i), and ouabain would catalyse phosphorylation from P(i) rather than retard it. Equilibrium binding of [3H]ouabain to E and EP in water or 40% Me2SO confirmed these observations: Kdiss in water is 11 microM and 12 nM for EO and EOP, respectively, whereas in Me2SO they are 112 nM and 48 nM. It is suggested that the primary effect of the lowered water activity in 40% Me2SO is a rearrangement of the substrate site so that it also in the absence of P(i) attains a transition state configuration corresponding to the phosphorylated conformation. This would be sensed by the ouabain binding site and lead to high affinity ouabain binding in the absence of P(i).

Abstract
Cleavage of the alpha-subunit of Na+/K(+)-ATPase by trypsin at Arg438-Ala439 causes enzyme inhibition which has been suggested to be due to altered alignment of phosphorylation site on the 48-kDa N-terminal fragment with nucleotide binding site on the 64-kDa C-terminal fragment. Our aims were to test this hypothesis and to assess the effect of the cleavage on the enzyme's two ATP sites. Na(+)-dependent phosphorylation of the partially cleaved enzyme by ATP showed that K0.5 values of ATP for phosphorylations of intact alpha and 48-kDa peptide were the same (0.4 microM). Unchanged interactions among the residues across the cleavage site were also indicated by data showing that reaction of fluorescein isothiocyanate with the 64-kDa peptide blocked phosphorylation of the 48-kDa peptide by ATP. ATP is known to block the reaction of fluorescein isothiocyanate with the enzyme. Experiments on the partially cleaved enzyme showed that K0.5 of ATP for protection of alpha was 30-60 microM, and the value for the protection of interacting 48-kDa and 64-kDa peptides was 1-3 mM. Evidently, while the cleavage does not affect the high affinity catalytic site, it disrupts the allosteric low affinity ATP site. Experiments on reconstituted preparations showed that the cleavage abolished ATP-dependent Na+/K+ exchange, Pi+ATP-dependent Rb+/Rb+ exchange, ATP-dependent Na+/Na+ exchange, and ADP+ATP-dependent Na+/Na+ exchange activities. Selective disruption of the low affinity ATP site accounts for the inhibitions of all functions involving K+(Rb+), based on the established role of this site in the control of K+ access channels. Cleavage-induced inhibitions of other activities, however, suggest additional roles of the low affinity ATP site in the reaction cycle.

Abstract
Ion channels and pumps in cell membranes consist of multiple transmembrane segments that are thought to be critical for transport of ions. Channel structures constituted by these transmembrane segments are characteristic of ion channels, whereas such structures have not been identified in ion pumps until now. By applying atomic force microscopy on Na+,K(+)-ATPase molecules in canine kidney membranes under tapping mode, we identified a hollow in the protein with a characteristic internal diameter of 6-20 A and an external diameter of 20-55 A depending upon treatment conditions. This hollow may be interpreted as a channel-like conformation of Na+,K(+)-ATPase. In the regions where the proteins were absent, lipid head structures with 2 A width and 6 A length were imaged in an orthorhombic lattice.

Abstract
Inactivation of Na+/K(+)-ATPase by partially reduced oxygen metabolites has been implicated in ischemia-reperfusion injury to heart and other organs. Because oxidation of many proteins makes them more susceptible to degradation by intracellular proteinases, we studied the effects of several such proteinases on native and H2O2-oxidized preparations of Na+/K(+)-ATPase from canine kidney (containing alpha 1 isoform of the catalytic subunit) and rat axolemma (containing alpha 2 and alpha 3 isoforms). Lysosomal cathepsin D degraded the native and the oxidized preparations at acid pH, but it was significantly more effective against the oxidized forms. m-Calpain had little or no effect on the native Na+/K(+)-ATPase preparations, but it digested the oxidized alpha-subunits of the axolemma and the kidney enzymes. mu-Calpain's effects were similar to those of m-calpain. Multi-catalytic proteinase which is known to degrade a large number of oxidized proteins, did not affect the native or the oxidized forms of Na+/K(+)-ATPase. The findings suggest that (a) during oxidative stress there may be accelerated degradation of the oxidatively damaged Na+/K(+)-ATPase, either through internalization and transport to lysosomes, or by the action of calpains at the membrane; and (b) those isoforms of the enzyme that are more sensitive to oxidants are more susceptible to degradation by the above processes.

Abstract
Inhibition of Na+/K(+)-ATPase by partially reduced oxygen metabolites has been suggested to be involved in ischemia-reperfusion injury to heart and other organs. Since various isoforms of the enzyme have different sensitivities to ouabain and several other inhibitors, we studied the effects of H2O2 and the hydroxyl radical on enzyme activity and phosphoenzyme formation in Na+/K(+)-ATPase preparations with known alpha-subunit isoform composition in order to assess the oxidant sensitivities of the isoforms. Rat axolemma enzyme (alpha 2 and alpha 3) which has higher sensitivity than the rat kidney enzyme (alpha 1) to ouabain also showed higher oxidant sensitivity than the kidney enzyme. No significant difference between the oxidant sensitivities of the alpha 2 and alpha 3 of the axolemma was noted. In the ferret heart enzyme (alpha 1 and alpha 3), we confirmed that alpha 3 has higher ouabain sensitivity than alpha 1, and we established that alpha 3 also has higher oxidant sensitivity than alpha 1. The rat kidney enzyme (alpha 1) and the canine kidney enzyme (a variant of alpha 1 with much higher ouabain sensitivity than the rat kidney enzyme) exhibited similar oxidant sensitivities. The findings suggest that (a) oxidant sensitivity is related to structural features that distinguish alpha 1 from alpha 2 and alpha 3, rather than to features that control ouabain sensitivity; and (b) different isoform compositions of the various tissues may contribute to their relative susceptibilities to oxidant stress.

Abstract
The protein B-50 is dephosphorylated in rat cortical synaptic plasma membranes (SPM) by protein phosphatase type 1 and 2A (PP-1 and PP-2A)-like activities. The present studies further demonstrate that B-50 is dephosphorylated not only by a spontaneously active PP-1-like enzyme, but also by a latent form after pretreatment of SPM with 0.2 mM cobalt/20 micrograms of trypsin/ml. The activity revealed by cobalt/trypsin was inhibited by inhibitor-2 and by high concentrations (microM) of okadaic acid, identifying it as a latent form of PP-1. In the presence of inhibitor-2 to block PP-1, histone H1 (16-64 micrograms/ml) and spermine (2 mM) increased B-50 dephosphorylation. This sensitivity to polycations and the reversal of their effects on B-50 dephosphorylation by 2 nM okadaic acid are indicative of PP-2A-like activity. PP-1- and PP-2A-like activities from SPM were further displayed by using exogenous phosphorylase alpha and histone H1 as substrates. Both PP-1 and PP-2A in rat SPM were immunologically identified with monospecific antibodies against the C-termini of catalytic subunits of rabbit skeletal muscle PP-1 and PP-2A. Okadaic acid-induced alteration of B-50 phosphorylation, consistent with inhibition of protein phosphatase activity, was demonstrated in rat cortical synaptosomes after immunoprecipitation with affinity-purified anti-B-50 immunoglobulin G. These results provide further evidence that SPM-bound PP-1 and PP-2A-like enzymes that share considerable similarities with their cytosolic counterparts may act as physiologically important phosphatases for B-50.

Abstract
1. Purified (Na+ + K+)-ATPase was irreversibly inhibited upon exposure to hydrogen peroxide, the superoxide anion, and the hydroxyl radical. 2. Comparison of the SDS-gel electrophoretic patterns of the ATPase samples exposed to these oxidants revealed that inhibition occurred either without gross structural changes, or concomitant with fragmentation and cross-linking of the enzyme subunits. 3. The oxidant modified ATPase was also shown to be more susceptible to degradation by several proteolytic enzymes.

Abstract
Receptor-mediated activation of the sodium pump has been noted in several intact tissues. To test the hypothesis that this may be due to the direct effects of the second messenger diacylglycerols on the pump, we studied the effects of various long-chain acylglycerols on the purified Na+/K(+)-ATPase. With optimal ATP, acylglycerols had no effect on enzyme activity. When ATP was suboptimal, tri- and diacylglycerols had no effects, but monoacylglycerols caused up to 3-fold increase in ATPase activity. Using sealed vesicles of red cell membranes and cardiac sarcolemma, stimulation of the ion transport function of the enzyme by monoacylglycerols in the presence of suboptimal ATP was also shown. Since the sodium pump may not be saturated with ATP in the intact cell, the possibility arises that monoacylglycerols are the second messengers for the receptor-mediated regulation of the pump.

Abstract
The effects of K+, Na+ and nucleotides (ATP or ADP) on the steady-state phosphorylation from [32P]Pi (0.5 and 1 mM) and acetyl [32P]phosphate (AcP) (5 mM) were studied in membrane fragments and in proteoliposomes with partially purified pig kidney Na,K-ATPase incorporated. The experiments were carried out at 20 degrees C and pH 7.0. In broken membranes, the Pi-induced phosphoenzyme levels were reduced to 40% by 10 mM K+ and to 20% by 10 mM K+ plus 1 mM ADP (or ATP); in the presence of 50 mM Na+, no E-P formation was detected. On the other hand, with AcP, the E-P formation was reduced by 10 mM K+ but was 30% increased by 50 mM Na+. In proteoliposomes E-P formation from Pi was (i) not influenced by 5-10 mM K+cyt or 100 mM Na+ext, (ii) about 50% reduced by 5, 10 or 100 mM K+ext and (iii) completely prevented by 50 mM Na+cyt. Enzyme phosphorylation from AcP was 30% increased by 10 mM K+cyt or 50 mM Na+cyt; these E-P were 50% reduced by 10-100 mM K+ext. However, E-P formed from AcP without K+cyt or Na+cyt was not affected by extracellular K+. Fluorescence changes of fluorescein isothiocyanate labelled membrane fragments, indicated that E-P from AcP corresponded to an E2 state in the presence of 10 mM Na+ or 2 mM K+ but to an E1 state in the absence of both cations. With pNPP, the data indicated an E1 state in the absence of Na+ and K+ and also in the presence of 20 mM Na+, and an E2 form in the presence of 5 mM K+. These results suggest that, although with some similarities, the reversible Pi phosphorylation and the phosphatase activity of the Na,K-ATPase do not share the whole reaction pathway.

Abstract
The effects of K+ on the phosphorylation of H+/K(+)-ATPase with inorganic phosphate were studied using H+/K(+)-ATPase purified from porcine gastric mucosa. The phosphoenzyme formed by phosphorylation with Pi was identical with the phosphoenzyme formed with ATP. The maximal phosphorylation level obtained with Pi was equal to that obtained with ATP. The Pi phosphorylation reaction of H+/K(+)-ATPase was, like that of Na+/K(+)-ATPase, a relatively slow reaction. The rates of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation were both increased by low concentrations of K+, which resulted in hardly any effect on the phosphorylation level. A decrease of the steady-state phosphorylation level was caused by higher concentrations of K+ in a noncompetitive manner, whereas no further increase in the dephosphorylation rate was observed. The decreasing effect was caused by a slow binding of K+ to the enzyme. All above-mentioned K+ effects were abolished by the specific H+/K(+)-ATPase inhibitor SCH 28080 (2-methyl-8-[phenyl-methoxy]imidazo-[1-2-a]pyrine-3-acetonitrile). Additionally, SCH 28080 caused a 2-fold increase in the affinity of H+/K(+)-ATPase for Pi. A model for the reaction cycle of H+/K(+)-ATPase fitting the data is postulated.

Abstract
Chymotryptic cleavage of the alpha-subunit of the canine kidney Na+/K(+)-ATPase in the presence of Na+ abolishes ATPase activity and yields an 83 kDa peptide from Ala 267 to the COOH-terminus. To test the proposal that E1 to E2 conformational transition is blocked in this modified enzyme, we have made a detailed comparison of its phosphorylation with that of the native enzyme by ATP. While phosphorylation of alpha is dependent on Na+ and prevented by K+, that of the 83 kDa peptide is modestly stimulated by Na+; and only this stimulation, but not the Na(+)-independent phosphorylation is inhibited by K+. Ouabain, which inhibits alpha-phosphorylation by ATP, activates Na(+)-independent phosphorylation of the 83 kDa peptide by ATP, and inhibits the Na(+)-stimulation of this process. While there is a ouabain-stimulated phosphorylation of alpha by Pi, the 83 kDa peptide is not phosphorylated by Pi with or without ouabain. In its sensitivity to ADP, and insensitivity to K+, the phosphopeptide is similar to the E1P of the native enzyme; however, the spontaneous decomposition rate of the phosphopeptide is orders of magnitude lower than that of the native EP. Na+ has no effect on the spontaneous decomposition of the phosphopeptide; but at high Na+ concentrations (K0.5 = 350 mM) the ADP sensitivity of the phosphopeptide is reduced. The phosphopeptide, like the native EP, is acid-stable, alkaline-labile, and sensitive to hydroxylamine and molybdate. The chymotrypsin-treated enzyme catalyzes an ADP-ATP exchange activity that is stimulated by Na+. The Na(+)-independent part of this exchange, unlike that of the native enzyme, is activated by ouabain. Our findings establish that (a) the phosphorylation process and its control by Na+, K+ and ouabain are autoregulated by the NH2-terminal domain of the alpha-subunit; and (b) the often repeated assumption that the primary role of this domain is in the regulation of E1-E2 transitions is not valid.

Abstract
The inhibition of the (Na,K)ATPase by calcium was investigated in plasma membrane preparations of rat axolemma, skeletal muscle and kidney outer medulla. Ouabain titration curves demonstrated that physiological calcium (0.08-5 microM) inhibited mainly the high affinity alpha 2 isomer. In axolemma all the (Na,K)ATPase had high ouabain affinity and calcium inhibited 40-50% of the activity with a Ki of 1.9 +/- 0.9 x 10(-7) M. In skeletal muscle high and low ouabain affinity components were present in equal amounts and calcium inhibited only the high affinity component with a Ki of 1.3 +/- 0.3 x 10(-7) M. Kidney enzyme had a low affinity for ouabain and showed very little sensitivity to calcium in the physiological range. It was demonstrated that high calcium levels inhibit the enzyme in a general sense, irrespective of the isomer, with a Ki of 6.5 +/- 6 x 10(-4) M for the kidney and 5.9 +/- 4 x 10(-4) M for the axolemma enzymes. In axolemma, enzyme activity was studied as a function of sodium concentration. Physiological calcium reduced Vmax while not significantly changing K 0.5 for sodium binding.

Abstract
Magnesium is abundant in the mammalian body and the second most abundant cation in cells. Because the concentration of intracellular free Mg2+ is relatively high (0.2-1 mM), Mg2+ is unlikely to act as a second messenger, like Ca2+, by rapidly changing its cytosolic concentration. But changes in Mg2+ do have profound effects on cellular metabolism, structure and bioenergetics. Key enzymes or metabolic pathways, mitochondrial ion transport, Ca2+ channel activities in the plasma membrane and intracellular organelles, ATP-requiring reactions, and structural properties of cells and nucleic acids are modified by changes in Mg2+ concentration. Yet, although some information is available from giant cells and bacteria, little is known about the regulation of intracellular Mg2+ in mammalian cells. Here we report a new transport mechanism for Mg2+ across the sarcolemma of cardiac cells in both intact hearts and dissociated myocytes. We show that noradrenaline, through beta-adrenergic stimulation and increase of cyclic AMP, stimulates a large efflux of Mg2+ from cardiac cells. This transport is of major dimensions and can move up to 20% of total cellular Mg2+ within a few minutes.

Abstract
The addition of norepinephrine to perfused rat livers and to collagenase isolated hepatocytes induced a marked and dose-dependent magnesium efflux. The addition of beta-adrenergic receptor antagonists, but not alpha-antagonists, completely blocked the Mg2+ efflux. The Mg2+ efflux could also be induced by forskolin and by permeable cAMP analogues. By contrast, the addition of carbachol or vasopressin induced a Mg2+ influx into isolated hepatocytes. These results indicate that a significant Mg2+ efflux from liver cells can be induced through the beta-adrenergic receptors and that it is mediated through the cytosolic cAMP levels.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to determine if the total (Na+ + K+)-ATPase of the plasma membrane of a cell population could be assayed without cell homogenization and partial purification of the enzyme. Several types of intact cells that were placed in an assay medium containing MgATP, Na+, and K+ hydrolyzed little or none of the added ATP. When the cells were pretreated with the ionophore alamethicin and then placed in the assay medium, they exhibited an ouabain-sensitive (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity that increased and reached a limiting value with increasing alamethicin concentration. Since alamethicin did not increase the activity of the purified membrane-bound (Na+ + K+)-ATPase, its effects on the intact cells are probably due to the formation of large channels within the plasma membrane that allow the free access of the components of the assay medium to the intracellular domains of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. Utilizing whole cells treated with alamethicin, total (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity was determined in clonal pheochromocytoma cells (PC12), neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cells (NG108-15), and myocytes isolated from adult and neonatal rat hearts. With the use of this whole-cell assay, the ouabain sensitivities of the enzymes in adult and neonatal rat heart myocytes were determined and found to be the same as those that have been determined with the use of partially purified enzymes.

Abstract
Interactions between the ligands Mg2+, K+, and substrate and the Na+/K+-activated ATPase were examined in terms of a rapid-equilibrium, random-order, terreactant kinetic scheme for the K+-nitrophenyl phosphatase reaction that is catalyzed by this enzyme. At 37 degrees C and pH 7.5 the derived values for the dissociation constants from the free enzyme were 0.2, 0.08, and 1.4 mM for Mg2+, K+, and substrate, respectively. For Mg2+ interactions, the presence of 20% (v/v) dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO) increased the calculated affinity 25-fold; higher concentrations increased affinity still further. Neither reducing the temperature to 20 degrees C nor altering the pH from 6.5 to 8.3 appreciably changed the affinity for Mg2+ in the absence or presence of Me2SO. The Mg2+ sites are thus characterized by an absence of functional groups ionizable in the pH range 6.5-8.3, with binding driven by entropy changes, and with Me2SO, probably through solvation effects on the protein, increasing affinity for Mg2+ close to that for Ca2+ and Mn2+. By contrast, for K+ interactions, the presence of 20% Me2SO increased the calculated affinity only by half; moreover, reducing the temperature to 20 degrees C and the pH to 6.5 both increased affinity and diminished the response to Me2SO. The K+ sites are thus characterized by a marked sensitivity to pH and temperature, presumably through alterations in enzyme conformational equilibria that in turn are modifiable by Me2SO. Inhibition by higher concentrations of Mg2+, which varies inversely with the K+ concentration, was decreased by Me2SO. Finally, for substrate interactions, the presence of 20% Me2SO increased the calculated affinity 4-fold, and, as for Mg2+-binding, neither reducing the temperature nor varying the pH over the range 6.5-8.3 appreciably altered the affinity in the absence or presence of Me2SO. Thus, the substrate sites, like the Mg2+ sites, are characterized by an absence of functional groups ionizable in this range, with binding driven by entropy changes, and with Me2SO increasing affinity for substrate, in this case probably through favoring the partitioning of substrate from the medium into the hydrophobic active site.

Abstract
It is presently unknown whether Ca2+ plays a role in the physiological control of Na+/K+-ATPase or sodium pump activity. Because the enzyme is exposed to markedly different intra- and extracellular Ca2+ concentrations, tissue homogenates or purified enzyme preparations may not provide pertinent information regarding this question. Therefore, the effects of Ca2+ on the sodium pump were examined with studies of [3H]ouabain binding and 86Rb+ uptake using viable myocytes isolated from guinea-pig heart and apparently maintaining ion gradients. In the presence of K+, a reduction of the extracellular Ca2+ increased specific [3H]ouabain binding observed at apparent binding equilibria: a half-maximal stimulation was observed when extracellular Ca2+ was lowered to about 50 microM. The change in [3H]ouabain binding was caused by a change in the number of binding sites accessible by ouabain instead of a change in their affinity for the glycoside. Ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+ uptake was increased by a reduction of extracellular Ca2+ concentration. Benzocaine in concentrations reported to reduce the rate of Na+ influx failed to influence the inhibitory effect of Ca2+ on glycoside binding. When [3H]ouabain binding was at equilibrium, the addition of Ca2+ decreased and that of EGTA increased the glycoside binding. Mn2+, which does not penetrate the cell membrane, had effects similar to Ca2+. In the absence of K+, cells lose their tolerance to Ca2+. Reducing Ca2+ concentration prevented the loss of rod-shaped cells but failed to affect specific [3H]ouabain binding observed in the absence of K+. These results indicate that a large change in extracellular Ca2+ directly affects the sodium pump in cardiac myocytes isolated from guinea pigs.

Abstract
(Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity of a dog kidney enzyme preparation was markedly inhibited by 10-30% (v/v) dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO) and ethylene glycol (Et(OH)2); moreover, Me2SO produced a pattern of uncompetitive inhibition toward ATP. However, K+-nitrophenylphosphatase activity was stimulated by 10-20% Me2SO and Et(OH)2 but was inhibited by 30-50%. Me2SO decreased the Km for this substrate but had little effect on the Vmax below 30% (at which concentration Vmax was then reduced). Me2SO also reduced the Ki for Pi and acetyl phosphate as competitors toward nitrophenyl phosphate but increased the Ki for ATP, CTP and 2-O-methylfluorescein phosphate as competitors. Me2SO inhibited K+-acetylphosphatase activity, although it also reduced the Km for that substrate. Finally, Me2SO increased the rate of enzyme inactivation by fluoride and beryllium. These observations are interpreted in terms of the E1P to E2P transition of the reaction sequence being associated with an increased hydrophobicity of the active site, and of Me2SO mimicking such effects by decreasing water activity: (i) primarily to stabilize the covalent E2P intermediate, through differential solvation of reactants and products, and thereby inhibiting the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase reaction and acting as a dead-end inhibitor to produce the pattern of uncompetitive inhibition; inhibiting the K+-acetylphosphatase reaction that also passes through an E2P intermediate; but not inhibiting (at lower Me2SO concentrations) the K+-nitrophenylphosphatase reaction that does not pass through such an intermediate; and (ii) secondarily to favor partitioning of Pi and non-nucleotide phosphates into the hydrophobic active site, thereby decreasing the Km for nitrophenyl phosphate and acetyl phosphate, the Ki for Pi and acetyl phosphate in the K+-nitrophenylphosphatase reaction, accelerating inactivation by fluoride and beryllium acting as phosphate analogs, and, at higher concentrations, inhibiting the K+-nitrophenylphosphatase reaction by stabilizing the non-covalent E2.P intermediate of that reaction. In addition, Me2SO may decrease binding at the adenine pocket of the low-affinity substrate site, represented as an increased Ki for ATP, CTP and 3-O-methylfluorescein phosphate.

Abstract
Although studies in mammalian cells and yeast suggest that Mg2+ plays an important role in cell growth and hormone response, intracellular roles of Mg2+ are poorly understood. Thus, we are developing methods to study Mg2+ regulation of growth and hormonal response. Preliminary data using cell-permeable Mg2+ indicators based on tropolone suggest the feasibility of the dynamic and selective determination of intracellular free Mg2+ concentration. "Mg2+-deficient" cell lines have also been developed. Murine S49 lymphoma cells in normal 0.8 mM Mg2+ medium double in 17 hours, but die when placed in 0.2 mM Mg2+ medium. Two classes of S49 clones have been isolated which grow in 30 microM Mg2+ with doubling times of 22 and 60 hours. Although total cell Mg2+ is decreased by 50%, the decrease is selective since cytoplasmic Mg2+ is decreased 75% while particulate Mg2+ is unchanged. Hormonal response in the Mg2+ -deficient cells is defective. Cyclic AMP accumulation in response to beta-adrenergic receptor activation is decreased more than 95%. In contrast, the Mg2+ -deficient cells lose only about 50% of their response to PGE1 receptor activation, retain 50% of their beta-receptors, and accumulate cyclic AMP in response to cholera toxin at the wild-type rate. Mg2+ transport also occurs at the wild-type rate, but with a slightly higher affinity and is no longer hormone-sensitive. Ca2+ content is normal or slightly high. T-lymphocytes isolated from rats made Mg2+ -deficient for 8 weeks give similar results, indicating that the Mg2+ -deficient S49 lymphoma cell clones are a good model for Mg2+ -deficiency. The data suggest that lack of Mg2+ causes growth abnormalities and leads to markedly altered receptor-G-protein coupling, but may have less effect on G-protein-adenylate cylase interaction.
