Abstract
To better comprehend physiological adaptation to dilute media and the molecular mechanisms underlying ammonia excretion in palaemonid shrimps, we characterized the (Na+,K+)-ATPase from Macrobrachium amazonicum gills, disclosing high- (K(0.5) = 4.2+/-0.2 micromol L(-1); V = 33.9+/-1.9 U mg(-1)) and low-affinity (K(0.5) = 0.144+/-0.010 mmol L(-1); V = 232.9+/-15.3 U mg(-1)) ATP hydrolyzing sites. Stimulation by Na+ (K(0.5) = 5.5+/-0.3 mmol L(-1); V = 275.1+/-15.1 U mg(-1)), Mg2+ (K(0.5) = 0.79+/-0.06 mmol L(-1); V = 261.9+/-18.3 U mg(-1)), K+ (K(M) = 0.88+/-0.04 mmol L(-1); V = 271.8+/-10.9 U mg(-1)) and NH4(+) (K(M) = 5.0+/-0.2 mmol L(-1); V = 385.9+/-15.8 U mg(-1)) obeys single saturation curves, activity being stimulated synergistically by NH4(+) and K+. There is a single K+ binding site, NH4(+) binding to a second, exclusive site, stimulating activity by 33%, modulating K+ affinity. (Na+,K+)-ATPase activity constitutes approximately 80% of total ATPase activity (K(Iouabain) = 147.5+/-8.9 micromol L(-1)); Na+-, K+-, Ca2+-, V- and F(o)F(1)-ATPases are also present. M. amazonicum microsomal fractions possess approximately 2-fold less (Na+,K+)-ATPase alpha-subunit than M. olfersi, consistent with a 2.6-fold lower specific activity. These differences in (Na+, K+)-ATPase stimulation by ATP and ions, and specific activities of other ATPases, suggest the presence of distinct biochemical adaptations to life in fresh water in these related species.

Abstract
The structural stability of the large cytoplasmic domain (H(4)-H(5) loop) of mouse alpha(1) subunit of Na(+)/K(+) ATPase (L354-I777), the number and the location of its binding sites for 2'-3'-O-(trinitrophenyl) adenosine 5'-triphosphate (TNP-ATP) and p-nitrophenylphosphate (pNPP) were investigated. C- and N-terminal shortening revealed that neither part of the phosphorylation (P)-domain are necessary for TNP-ATP binding. There is no indication of a second ATP site on the P-domain of the isolated loop, even though others reported previously of its existence by TNP-N(3)ADP affinity labeling of the full enzyme. Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-anisotropy measurements reveal a considerable stability of the nucleotide (N)-domain suggesting that it may not undergo a substantial conformational change upon ATP binding. The FITC modified loop showed only slightly diminished phosphatase activity, most likely due to a pNPP site on the N-domain around N398 whose mutation to D reduced the phosphatase activity by 50%. The amino acids forming this pNPP site (M384, L414, W411, S400, S408) are conserved in the alpha(1-4) isoforms of Na(+)/K(+) ATPase, whereas N398 is only conserved in the vertebrates' alpha(1) subunit. The phosphatase activity of the isolated H(4)-H(5) loop was neither inhibited by ATP, nor affected by mutation of D369, which is phosphorylated in native Na(+)/K(+) ATPase.

Abstract
The Na(+)-dependent or E1 stages of the Na,K-ATPase reaction require a few micromolar ATP, but submillimolar concentrations are needed to accelerate the K(+)-dependent or E2 half of the cycle. Here we use Co(NH(3))(4)ATP as a tool to study ATP sites in Na,K-ATPase. The analogue inactivates the K(+) phosphatase activity (an E2 partial reaction) and the Na,K-ATPase activity in parallel, whereas ATP-[(3)H]ADP exchange (an E1 reaction) is affected less or not at all. Although the inactivation occurs as a consequence of low affinity Co(NH(3))(4)ATP binding (K(D) approximately 0.4-0.6 mm), we can also measure high affinity equilibrium binding of Co(NH(3))(4)[(3)H]ATP (K(D) = 0.1 micro m) to the native enzyme. Crucially, we find that covalent enzyme modification with fluorescein isothiocyanate (which blocks E1 reactions) causes little or no effect on the affinity of the binding step preceding Co(NH(3))(4)ATP inactivation and only a 20% decrease in maximal inactivation rate. This suggests that fluorescein isothiocyanate and Co(NH(3))(4)ATP bind within different enzyme pockets. The Co(NH(3))(4)ATP enzyme was solubilized with C(12)E(8) to a homogeneous population of alphabeta protomers, as verified by analytical ultracentrifugation; the solubilization did not increase the Na,K-ATPase activity of the Co(NH(3))(4)ATP enzyme with respect to parallel controls. This was contrary to the expectation for a hypothetical (alphabeta)(2) membrane dimer with a single ATP site per protomer, with or without fast dimer/protomer equilibrium in detergent solution. Besides, the solubilized alphabeta protomer could be directly inactivated by Co(NH(3))(4)ATP, to less than 10% of the control Na,K-ATPase activity. This suggests that the inactivation must follow Co(NH(3))(4)ATP binding at a low affinity site in every protomeric unit, thus still allowing ATP and ADP access to phosphorylation and high affinity ATP sites.

Abstract
Mono, bis and tris complexes of rhodium(III) oxine (systematic name 8-hydroxy-7-quinolinecarboxaldehyde) and mixed ligand have been prepared. The amine exchange reaction of coordinated Schiff base in these complexes has also been carried out, which gives symmetrical tetradentate Schiff base complexes. The complexes are characterized by elemental and thermal analysis, IR, magnetic and electronic spectral analysis methods were also employed as well as conductivity measurements. An octahedral structure is proposed for all the new complexes in which chloride is attached to the metal ion in 1:1; 1:2 (metal:ligand) ratio. The spectral data were utilized to compute the important ligand field parameter B, beta and Dq. The B-values suggest a strong covalency in the metal-ligand sigma-bond and the Dq-values indicate a medium strong ligand field. 1H NMR spectra show that the tris (ligand) complex is cis isomer. IR spectra show that the ligand is mono-basic bidentate.

Abstract
Na+/K+-transport through mammalian cell membranes by Na+/K+-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.37) needs the interaction of ATP sites with different binding affinities during catalysis: one with catalytic (high affinity site) and one with regulatory properties (low affinity site). To find affinity labels for the latter one, the effects of 2'-O-dansylated ATP analogs on Na+/K+-ATPase and its partial activities were analyzed. DANS-ATP (2'-O-(6-dimethylaminonaphthalenesulfonyl)adenosine 5'-triphosphate) inhibited noncompetitively at low ATP concentrations and competitively at high ATP concentrations the Na+/K+-activated hydrolysis of ATP under turnover conditions. It interacted preferentially with the low affinity ATP site as shown by its protective effect against the inactivation of Na+/K+-ATPase by Co(NH3)4ATP and Cr(H2O)4ATP. DANS-N3-ATP, however, inactivated Na+/K+-ATPase. The initial velocity of inactivation shows a sigmoid concentration dependence that was converted to a hyperbola in the presence of ATP. DANS-N3-ATP inhibited competitively the K+-activated hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate in a fluorescein isothiocyanate-blocked enzyme but did not effect Na+-dependent phosphoenzyme formation from [gamma-32P]ATP in a Co(NH3)4PO4-blocked enzyme. These effects could be described by a Koshland-Némethy-Filmer model assuming two nucleotide binding sites in strong cooperation. Fitting all data to this model revealed that ATP was bound in a negative cooperative way with a Kd = 0.3-1 microM to the first site and a Kd = 100-120 microM to the second site of the enzyme containing already one ATP bound. The hydrolysis of ATP through a pathway with two ATP bound was 30 times faster than hydrolysis with one ATP bound. DANS-N3-ATP bound in a positive cooperative way with a Kd = 500 +/- 100 microM to the first site and a Kd = 2.5 +/- 0.5 microM to the second site containing already one DANS-N3-ATP bound. Therefore, DANS-N3-ATP may be an useful affinity marker of the low affinity, regulatory ATP site.

Abstract
The role of simultaneously existing ATP-binding sites in the catalytic process of Na+/K(+)-ATPase is unclear. In order to learn whether blocking the E1ATP site affects the properties of the E2ATP site, the E1ATP site was inactivated by either fluorescein 5'-isothiocyanate, the non-phosphorylating Cr(H2O)4AdoPP[CH2]P or the phosphorylating Cr(H2O)4ATP. The properties of the remaining E2ATP site were studied by measuring 'backdoor phosphorylation' in the presence of ouabain, or K(+)-activated hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate. The involvement of the E2ATP site was further tested by the effects of Co(NH3)4ATP, a specific inactivator of this site. When the E1ATP site was inactivated by fluorescein 5'-isothiocyanate or the non-phosphorylating Cr(H2O)4AdoPP[CH2]P, backdoor phosphorylation and the activity of K(+)-activated p-nitrophenylphosphatase remained unchanged. Both processes were lost, however, when the E2ATP site was additionally inactivated by Co(NH3)4ATP. Inactivation of the E1ATP site by fluorescein 5'-isothiocyanate or Cr(H2O)4AdoPP[CH2]P decreased the affinity of the p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity of the E2ATP site for the substrate p-nitrophenyl phosphate by four times. This is consistent with a former report showing that dephosphorylation in a fluorescein 5'-isothiocyanate-inactivated Na+/K(+)-ATPase has a lowered sensitivity for ATP [Scheiner-Bobis, G., Antonipillai, J. & Farley, R. A. (1993) Biochemistry 32, 9592-9599]. Inactivation of the E1ATP site by the phosphorylating Cr(H2O)4ATP, however, led to a loss of the property of the E2ATP site to hydrolyse K(+)-dependent p-nitrophenyl phosphate and to achieve backdoor phosphorylation. Evidently, ATP sites coexist in Na+/K(+)-ATPase, and binding of ATP to one site affects the property of the other site [Scheiner-Bobis, G., Esmann, M. & Schoner, W. (1989) Eur. J. Biochem. 183, 173-178]. Although the enzyme can be phosphorylated from both ATP sites, phosphorylation of the E1ATP site excludes the phosphorylation of the E2ATP site.

Abstract
We have proposed that in squid axons MgATP stimulation of Na-Ca exchange involves a phosphorylation-dephosphorylation process catalyzed by a kinase-phosphatase system. In the present work, we used vanadate as a tool to gather further evidence about the mechanism of metabolic control of the Na-Ca exchanger in internally dialyzed and voltage-clamped squid axons. Vanadate, at concentrations up to 100 microM, stimulated extracellular Na (Nao)-dependent Ca efflux only in the presence of MgATP but failed to do so when the axons were dialyzed with the nonhydrolyzable ATP analogue beta, gamma-methyleneadenosine 5'-triphosphate or with CrATP, a MgATP analogue that completely abolishes MgATP stimulation of the Na-Ca exchange. In axons fully activated by Mg-adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate), vanadate had no effect on Na-Ca exchange. The dose-response curve for vanadate stimulation followed Michaelian kinetics with a Km of 5.6 +/- 0.4 microM and a maximum velocity of 216 +/- 10 fmol.cm-2.s-1 (intracellular Ca concentration = 0.8 microM). This coincides with the high affinity of vanadate in inhibiting the in vitro phosphatase activity of an alkaline phosphatase extracted from rat liver. In addition, vanadate increased fivefold the apparent affinity for MgATP (Km from 220 +/- 14 to 40 +/- 4 microM). Concentrations of vanadate in the millimolar range inhibited the MgATP-stimulated Na-Ca exchange (apparent Ki of 5.7 +/- 0.3 mM) and the in vitro phosphorylation by the catalytic subunit of a adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate protein kinase (apparent Ki 2.64 +/- 0.04 mM). We conclude that MgATP stimulation of Na-Ca exchange is proportional to the levels of phosphorylation that result from the balance of the activity of a kinase and a phosphatase activity.

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
1. Na(+)o-dependent Ca2+ efflux (forward Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange), and in some cases the Na(+)i-dependent Ca2+ influx (reverse Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange) were measured in internally dialysed squid axons under membrane potential control. 2. We tested the effect on the Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange of the MgATP analogue bidentate chromium adenosine-5'-triphosphate (CrATP), substrate of several kinases, and cobalt tetrammine ATP (Co(NH3)4ATP), a poor substrate of most kinases. 3. CrATP completely blocked the MgATP and MgATP-gamma-S (ATP-gamma-S) stimulation of the Na(+)o-dependent Ca2+ efflux (forward exchange) and the Na+i-dependent Ca2+ influx (reverse exchange). The analogue only blocked the nucleotide-dependent fraction of the Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange without modifying any kinetic parameters of the exchange reactions. 4. The effects of CrATP were fully reversible with a very slow time constant (t 1/2 about 30 min). 5. The MgATP stimulation of the Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange was completely saturated at 1 mM. Higher MgATP concentrations (up to 15 mM) had no additional effects. Pentalysine (internal or external), the protein kinase C inhibitor H-7 (1-(5-isoquinolinylsulphonyl)-2-methylpiperazine) and several calmodulin inhibitors did not inhibit Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange either in the absence or presence of MgATP. 6. Our results do not agree with the idea of an aminophospholipid translocase being responsible for the ATP stimulation of the Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange in squid axons; they suggest that this is due to the action of a kinase system.

Abstract
The interaction of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase with the Mg.ATP analogues Rh(H2O)4ATP and Co(NH3)4ATP have been examined. Co(NH3)4ATP slowly inactivates Ca(2+)-ATPase in a first order process, with a rate constant of 1.13 x 10(-3) s-1 and an apparent inactivation constant, KI, of 32 mM. Rh(H2O)4ATP likewise inactivates sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase, but the plot of reciprocal apparent inactivation rate constants versus 1/[Rh(H2O)4ATP] is biphasic. The chi-intercepts of this plot yield apparent inactivation constants for the inhibition of Ca(2+)-ATPase by Rh(H2O)4ATP of KI1 = 30 microM and KI2 = 221 microM. The corresponding values of k2, the maximal first-order rate constant for inhibition in these two phases, are 1.16 and 2.19 x 10(-4)s-1. Tridentate Rh(H2O)3ATP also inhibits Ca(2+)-ATPase, but only after much longer incubation times. Ca(2+)-ATPase inactivation is accompanied by incorporation of radioactivity from gamma-32P into an acid-precipitable enzyme. Both processes were dependent on the presence of Ca2+ ions and were quenched by excess ATP. The first-order rate constant for inactivation of Ca(2+)-dependent ATPase activity in this experiment was 2.19 x 10(-4)s-1, and the first-order rate constant for Ca(2+)-dependent E-P formation was 2.07 x 10(-4)s-1, in excellent agreement with the value for inactivation. A linear relationship is observed between ATPase inactivation and E-P formation. Moreover, atomic absorption analysis demonstrates that the phosphorylation of Ca(2+)-ATPase by Rh(H2O)4ATP is accompanied by incorporation and tight binding of rhodium, with a stoichiometry of one rhodium incorporated per ATPase molecule phosphorylated. The characteristics of ATPase inactivation and phosphorylation (i.e., Ca2+ dependence, ATP competition, agreement of rate constants, and stoichiometric rhodium incorporation) suggest that Rh(H2O)4ATP is binding to the catalytic nucleotide site on Ca(2+)-ATPase and producing a highly stable, phosphorylated intermediate.

Abstract
A cytosolic cell-free system from rat liver containing the last three enzymes of the urea cycle, a number of cofactors and the substrates aspartate and citrulline was shown to synthesize urea at near-physiological rates ranging between 0.40 and 1.25 mumol/min per g of liver. This system was used to determine the kinetic parameters for arginase. With saturating amounts of Mn2+ (30 microM), arginine remained at a steady-state concentration of 5-35 microM depending on the aspartate and citrulline supply. Vmax. at micromolar arginine concentrations was between 1.10 and 1.25 mumol/min per g of liver, the K0.5 (arginine) between 6.0 and 6.5 microM and positive co-operativity was observed (Hill coefficient 2). Omission of Mn2+ caused a significant accumulation of arginine during the incubation, suggesting a regulatory effect of arginase. Under these conditions, Vmax. was 1.10-1.65 mumol/min per g of liver and the Km (arginine) increased up to 14.4-21.1 microM. The apparent Ka for Mn2+ in the presence of physiological concentrations of ATP, Mg2+ and arginine was calculated to be maximally 8 microM. Initial-velocity experiments with millimolar arginine concentrations as the direct substrate gave the following results, which are in good agreement with literature data. In the absence of Mn2+, Vmax. was 71.3 mumol/min per g of liver and the Km (arginine) 1.58 mM. With 30 microM-Mn2+, Vmax. was 69.4 mumol/min per g of liver and the Km (arginine) decreased to 0.94 mM. On the basis of our results, we propose the presence of high-affinity and low-affinity sites for arginine on rat liver arginase and postulate that alterations in arginase activity arising from changes in the concentration of arginine and of the cofactor Mn2+ may contribute to the regulation of ureagenesis in vivo.

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
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.
