Abstract
We have previously reported the isolation by gel filtration and anionic exchange HPLC of two brain Na+, K+-ATPase inhibitors, II-A and II-E, and kinetics of enzyme interaction with the latter. In the present study we evaluated the kinetics of synaptosomal membrane Na+, K+-ATPase with II-A and found that inhibitory activity was independent of ATP (2-8 mM), Na+ (3.1-100 mM), or K+ (2.5-40 mM) concentration. Hanes-Woolf plots showed that II-A decreases Vmax in all cases; KM value decreased for ATP but remained unaltered for Na+ and K+, indicating respectively uncompetitive and noncompetitive interaction. However, II-A became a stimulator at 0.3 mM K+ concentration. It is postulated that brain endogenous factor II-A may behave as a sodium pump modulator at the synaptic region, an action which depends on K+ concentration.
