Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple studies have examined the use of lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMSs) for the drainage of peripancreatic fluid collections. Data on the use of LAMSs for postoperative fluid collections (POFCs) are scarce. POFCs may lead to severe complications without appropriate treatment. We aimed to study the outcomes (technical success, clinical success, rate/severity of adverse events, length of stay, recurrence) of the use of LAMSs for the drainage of POFCs. METHODS This international, multicenter, retrospective study involved 19 centers between January 2012 and October 2017. The primary outcome was clinical success. Secondary outcomes included technical success and rate/severity of adverse events using the ASGE lexicon. RESULTS A total of 62 patients were included during the study period. The most common etiology of the POFCs was distal pancreatectomy (46.8 %). The mean (standard deviation) diameter was 84.5 mm (30.7 mm). The most common indication for drainage was infection (48.4 %) and transgastric drainage was the most common approach (82.3 %). Technical success was achieved in 60/62 patients (96.8 %) and clinical success in 57/62 patients (91.9 %) during a median (interquartile range) follow-up of 231 days (90 - 300 days). Percutaneous drainage was needed in 8.1 % of patients. Adverse events occurred intraoperatively in 1/62 patients (1.6 %) and postoperatively in 7/62 (11.3 %). There was no procedure-related mortality. CONCLUSION This is the largest study on the use of LAMSs for POFCs. It suggests good clinical efficacy and safety of this approach. The use of LAMSs in the management of POFCs is a feasible alternative to percutaneous and surgical drainage.

Abstract
Cyst fluid biomarkers may be used to identify pancreatic cyst subtypes. Biomarkers are selected based on their ability to accurately distinguish mucinous from nonmucinous cysts and to risk stratify cysts based on malignant potential. Biomarkers of interest include but are not limited to amylase, oncogenes, DNA analysis, and epigenetic markers. The introduction of next-generation sequencing and molecular panels has aided in improved diagnostic accuracy and risk stratification. This review presents the diagnostic performance of currently available biomarkers and proposes an algorithm to incorporate their use in the diagnosis of pancreatic cysts.

Abstract
The Na,K-ATPase carries out the coupled functions of ATP hydrolysis and cation transport. These functions are performed by two distinct regions of the protein. ATP binding and hydrolysis is mediated by the large central cytoplasmic loop of about 430 amino-acids. Transmembrane cation transport is accomplished via coordination of the Na and K ions by side-chains of the amino-acids of several of the transmembrane segments. The way in which these two protein domains interact lies at the heart of the molecular mechanism of active transport, or ion pumping. We summarize evidence obtained from protein chemistry studies of the purified renal Na,K-ATPase and from bacterially expressed polypeptides which characterize these separate functions and point to various movements which may occur as the protein transits through its reaction cycle. We then describe recent work using heterologous expression of renal Na,K-ATPase in baculovirus-infected insect cells which provides a suitable system to characterize such protein motions and which can be employed to test specific models arising from recently acquired high resolution structural information on related ion pumps.

Abstract
The Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase is a heterodimeric plasma membrane protein responsible for cellular ionic homeostasis in nearly all animal cells. It has been shown that some insect cells (e.g., High Five cells) have no (or extremely low) Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity. We expressed sheep kidney Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase alpha- and beta-subunits individually and together in High Five cells via the baculovirus expression system. We used quantitative slot-blot analyses to determine that the expressed Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase comprises between 0.5% and 2% of the total membrane protein in these cells. Using a five-step sucrose gradient (0.8-2.0 M) to separate the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and plasma membrane fractions, we observed functional Na(+) pump molecules in each membrane pool and characterized their properties. Nearly all of the expressed protein functions normally, similar to that found in purified dog kidney enzyme preparations. Consequently, the measurements described here were not complicated by an abundance of nonfunctional heterologously expressed enzyme. Specifically, ouabain-sensitive ATPase activity, [(3)H]ouabain binding, and cation dependencies were measured for each fraction. The functional properties of the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase were essentially unaltered after assembly in the endoplasmic reticulum. In addition, we measured ouabain-sensitive (86)Rb(+) uptake in whole cells as a means to specifically evaluate Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase molecules that were properly folded and delivered to the plasma membrane. We could not measure any ouabain-sensitive activities when either the alpha-subunit or beta-subunit were expressed individually. Immunostaining of the separate membrane fractions indicates that the alpha-subunit, when expressed alone, is degraded early in the protein maturation pathway (i.e., the endoplasmic reticulum) but that the beta-subunit is processed normally and delivered to the plasma membrane. Thus it appears that only the alpha-subunit has an oligomeric requirement for maturation and trafficking to the plasma membrane. Furthermore, assembly of the alpha-beta heterodimer within the endoplasmic reticulum apparently does not require a Na(+) pump-specific chaperone.

Abstract
We have constructed a mutant Na,K-ATPase alpha1-subunit with all native cysteine residues replaced. Using the baculovirus system, this cysteine-less alpha1-subunit and wild-type beta1-subunit were expressed in High Five cells. After 3 days of infection, cells were fractionated, and endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and plasma membranes were isolated. The molecular activity of the cysteine-less mutant in the plasma membranes was close to the wild-type protein (8223 min(-)(1) versus 6655 min(-)(1)). Cation and ATP activation of Na,K-ATPase activities revealed that replacing all 23 cysteines resulted in only a 50% reduction of K(m) for Na(+), a 2-fold increase in K(m) for K(+), and no changes in K(m) for ATP. The distribution of alpha-subunits among the membranes showed a high percentage of cysteine-less protein in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus compared with the wild-type protein. Furthermore, the cellular stability of the alphabeta assembly appeared reduced in the cysteine-less mutant. Cells harvested after more than 3 days of infection showed extensive degradation of the cysteine-less alpha-subunit, which is not observed with the wild-type enzyme. Thus the Na,K-ATPase contains no cysteine residues that are critical for function, but the folding and/or assembly pathway of this enzyme is affected by total cysteine substitution.

Abstract
Copper binding to the human copper chaperone for superoxide dismutase (hCCS) has been investigated by X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Stoichiometry measurements on the dialyzed, as-isolated protein indicated that up to 3.5 Cu ions bound per hCCS molecule. Reduction with either sodium dithionite or dithiothreitol decreased the copper binding ratio to 2 coppers per hCCS monomer. Analysis of the as-isolated EXAFS data indicated coordination of Cu by a mixture of S and N backscatterers, suggestive of heterogeneous binding of copper between Cu-cysteine binding sites of domain I or III and copper-histidine SOD1-like metal binding sites of domain II. The best fit was obtained with 1.6 Cu-S (cysteine) at 2.24 A (2sigma(2) = 0.011 A(2)) and 1.1 N (histidine) at 1.98 A (2sigma(2) = 0.005 A(2)). A peak of variable intensity in the Fourier transform (FT) of the as-isolated protein at 2.7 A was suggestive of the presence of a heavy atom scatterer such as Cu. Analysis of the dithionite- and DTT-reduced derivatives indicated that copper was lost from the histidine coordinating sites, resulting in a S-only environment with copper coordinated to three S backscatterers at 2. 26 A. The heavy atom scatterer peak was now prominent in the FT and could be well fit by a Cu-Cu interaction at 2.72 A. The data were best interpreted by a dinuclear mu(2)()-bridged cluster with doubly bridging cysteine ligands similar to the cluster proposed to exist in the cytochrome c oxidase chaperone COX17. Analysis of primary sequence and X-ray structural information on yeast CCS strongly suggests that this cluster bridges between domains I and III in hCCS. A mechanism for copper translocation is briefly discussed.

Abstract
We have mapped the membrane topology of the renal Na,K-ATPase alpha-subunit by using a combination of introduced cysteine mutants and surface labeling with a membrane impermeable Cys-directed reagent, N-biotinylaminoethyl methanethiosulfonate. To begin our investigation, two cysteine residues (Cys(911) and Cys(964)) in the wild-type alpha-subunit were substituted to create a background mutant devoid of exposed cysteines (Lutsenko, S., Daoud, S., and Kaplan, J. H. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 5249-5255). Into this background construct were then introduced single cysteines in each of the five putative extracellular loops (P118C, T309C, L793C, L876C, and M973C) and the resulting alpha-subunit mutants were co-expressed with the beta-subunit in baculovirus-infected insect cells. All of our expressed Na,K-ATPase mutants were functionally active. Their ATPase, phosphorylation, and ouabain binding activities were measured, and the turnover of the phosphoenzyme intermediate was close to the wild-type enzyme, suggesting that they are folded properly in the infected cells. Incubation of the insect cells with the cysteine-selective reagent revealed essentially no labeling of the alpha-subunit of the background construct and labeling of all five mutants with single cysteine residues in putative extracellular loops. Two additional mutants, V969C and L976C, were created to further define the M9M10 loop. The lack of labeling for these two mutants showed that although Met(973) is apparently exposed, Val(969) and Leu(976) are not, demonstrating that this method may also be utilized to define membrane aqueous boundaries of membrane proteins. Our labeling studies are consistent with a specific 10-transmembrane segment model of the Na,K-ATPase alpha-subunit. This strategy utilized only functional Na,K-ATPase mutants to establish the membrane topology of the entire alpha-subunit, in contrast to most previously applied methods.

Abstract
2-[4'-Maleimidylanilino]naphthalene 6-sulfonic acid (MIANS) irreversibly inactivates Na,K-ATPase in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Inactivation is prevented by 3 mM ATP or low K(+) (<1 mM); the protective effect K(+) is reversed at higher concentrations. This biphasic effect was also observed with K(+) congeners. In contrast, Na(+) ions did not protect. MIANS inactivation disrupted high affinity ATP binding. Tryptic fragments of MIANS-labeled protein were analyzed by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography. ATP clearly protected one major labeled peptide peak. This observation was confirmed by separation of tryptic peptides in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealing a single fluorescently-labeled peptide of approximately 5 kDa. N-terminal amino acid sequencing identified the peptide (V(545)LGFCH...). This hydrophobic peptide contains only two Cys residues in all sodium pump alpha-subunit sequences and is found in the major cytoplasmic loop between M4 and M5, a region previously associated with ATP binding. Subsequent digestion of the tryptic peptide with V8 protease and N-terminal amino acid sequencing identified the modified residue as Cys(577). The cation-dependent change in reactivity of Cys(577) implies structural alterations in the ATP-binding domain following cation binding and occlusion in the intramembrane domain of Na,K-ATPase and expands our knowledge of the extent to which cation binding and occlusion are sensed in the ATP hydrolysis domain.

Abstract
The integral membrane protein, the gastric H,K-ATPase, is an alpha-beta heterodimer, with 10 putative transmembrane segments in the alpha-subunit and one such segment in the beta-subunit. All transmembrane segments remain within the membrane domain following trypsinization of the intact gastric H,K-ATPase in the presence of K+ ions, identified as M1M2, M3M4, M5M6, and M7, M8, M9, and M10. Removal of K+ ions from this digested preparation results in the selective loss of the M5M6 hairpin from the membrane. The release of the M5M6 fragment is directed to the extracellular phase as evidenced by the accumulation of the released M5M6 hairpin inside the sealed inside out vesicles. The stabilization of the M5M6 hairpin in the membrane phase by the transported cation as well as loss to the aqueous phase in the absence of the transported cation has been previously observed for another P2-type ATPase, the Na, K-ATPase (Lutsenko, S., Anderko, R., and Kaplan, J. H. (1995) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 92, 7936-7940). Thus, the effects of the counter-transported cation on retention of the M5M6 segment in the membrane as compared with the other membrane pairs may be a general feature of P2-ATPase ion pumps, reflecting a flexibility of this region that relates to the mechanism of transport.

Abstract
Most of the residues associated with cation coordination seem to reside within transmembrane segments of the alpha-subunit of the Na,K-ATPase, whereas amino acids which appear to be involved in the coordination of ATP are found in the major cytoplasmic loop between transmembrane segments M4 and M5 (see Lingrel & Kuntzweiler, 1994; Lutsenko & Kaplan, 1995). The coupling of the two functions of cation transport and ATP hydrolysis involved in the active transport of Na and K ions must involve interactions between these two structural units. This paper summarizes recent experimental results and conclusions of studies on the renal Na,K-ATPase which have employed controlled proteolysis in the presence of physiological ligands, chemical modification with a range of reagents and a variety of functional assays. The data provide evidence for movements between specific transmembrane segments associated with cation-binding conformations and coupled changes which take place in the ATP binding domain. The binding of different cations in the cation-binding domain is sensed in the ATP binding domain and manifested as a change in reactivity. This occurs at amino acid residues which are widely spaced in primary structure. It is apparent that structural changes are transmitted through much of the ATP-binding domain as a consequence of the occupancy of the cation-binding domain. We also provide evidence that both the number and identity of cations bound are also sensed in the ATP-binding domain.

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
N-terminal domains of the Wilson's and Menkes disease proteins (N-WND and N-MNK) were overexpressed in a soluble form in Escherichia coli as fusions with maltose-binding protein, purified, and their metal-binding properties were characterized. Both N-MNK and N-WND bind copper specifically as indicated by the results of metal-chelate chromatography, direct copper-binding measurements, and chemical modification of Cys residues in the presence of different heavy metals. When E. coli cells are grown in the presence of copper, N-MNK and N-WND bind copper in vivo with stoichiometry of 5-6 nmol of copper/nmol of protein. Copper released from the copper-N-MNK and copper-N-WND complexes reacts with the Cu(I)-selective chelator bicinchoninic acid in the absence of reducing agents. This suggests that in proteins, it is bound in reduced Cu(I) form, in agreement with the spectroscopic properties of the copper-bound domains. Copper bound to the domains in vivo or in vitro specifically protects the N-MNK and N-WND against labeling with the cysteine-directed probe; this indicates that Cys residues in the repetitive motifs GMTCXXCXXXIE are involved in coordination of copper. Direct involvement of the N-terminal domains in the binding of copper suggests their important role in copper-dependent functions of human copper-transporting adenosine triphosphatases (Wilson's and Menkes disease proteins).

Abstract
Dihydro-4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonate (H2DIDS) inactivates the renal Na,K-ATPase in an ATP- and K-preventable fashion; inactivation results in the covalent incorporation of a single [3H2]DIDS molecule into the Na pump alpha-subunit. K+ protection is observed at low concentrations (< 2 mM) and reversed at higher concentrations. The biphasic effect is also seen with Rb+, to a lesser extent by Cs+, and not at all by Na+ or choline. After extensive tryptic digestion of 3H2DIDS-inactivated enzyme, a single radiolabeled peptide is seen in 16.5% Tricine gels. N-terminal amino acid sequencing revealed two sequences 470IVEIPFNSTNxYQLS and 495HLLVMxGAPER, the unidentified residues were K480 and K501, respectively. These data provide suggestive evidence of cross-linking by H2DIDS between the two lysines. CNBr digestion of 3H2DIDS-labeled alpha-subunit produced a single radioactive band of the predicted 15-kDa mass for cross-linking between K480 an K501 produced by cleavage at known methione residues. The 15-kDa band combined two N-terminal sequences 464RDRYAKIVEI and 501xGAPERILDR which include K480 and K501. Thus K480 and K501 are within approximately 14 A of each other in the Na-bound form of the enzyme and information about the occupancy of the cation binding domain is transmitted to the ATP binding loop of the Na,K-ATPase.

Abstract
Na,K-ATPase in right-side-out oriented vesicles was stabilized in different conformations, and the location of intramembrane Cys residues of the alpha-subunit was assessed with membrane-permeable and membrane-impermeable Cys-directed reagents. In the presence of Mg2+ and Pi, Cys964 was the most accessible for both membrane-impermeable 4-acetamido-4'-maleimidylstilbene-2, 2'disulfonic acid (or stilbene disulfonate maleimide, SDSM) and membrane-permeable 7-diethylamino-3-(4'-maleimidyl)-4-methylcoumarin (CPM). In the presence of K+, Cys964 was modified only by hydrophobic CPM, indicating that the environment around Cys964 was different in these two conformations. Cys964 seems to mark the extracellular border of transmembrane segment M9. Cys911 in transmembrane segment M8 showed similar behavior; however, it was not so readily modified. Complete modification of Cys964 and Cys911 causes only partial (about 50%) inactivation of both ATPase activity and Rb+ (or K+) occlusion, indicating that the effect on cation occlusion is indirect and not within the occlusion cavity. The ATP binding capacity remains unaltered by the modifications. Treatment of the K+-stabilized post-tryptic preparation of purified Na, K-ATPase revealed labeling of several cysteines by CPM, none of which were labeled with SDSM. Removal of K+ ions from the preparation, which we have previously shown is accompanied by release of the M5M6 hairpin to the supernatant (), causes changes in the organization of the C-terminal 21-kDa fragment. In particular Cys983 in M10 became labeled by both CPM and SDSM, pointing to a tight association between the C terminus and the M5M6 hairpin of the alpha-subunit.

Abstract
Treatment of purified canine renal Na,K-ATPase with a range of photoactivatable amiloride derivatives results in inhibition of ATPase activity prior to illumination. Inhibition by amiloride derivatives substituted on a guanidium N could not be prevented by the presence of either K or Na; however, these cations could protect the enzyme against inhibition by derivatives substituted on the 5-position of the pyrazine ring. In the case of 5-(N-ethyl-[2'-methoxy-4'-nitrobenzyl])amiloride (NENMBA), the presence of monovalent cations (Na, K, and Rb) protected the enzyme effectively against inhibition, with concentrations in the millimolar range. ATP did not prevent inhibition; furthermore, native and NENMBA-treated enzyme exhibited normal levels of high affinity [3H]ADP (and hence ATP) binding. The rate of inhibition increased with increasing concentrations of NENMBA. Extensive washing of NENMBA-inhibited enzyme did not restore ATPase activity, showing that NENMBA has an extremely slow off-rate for dissociation from its inhibitory site. Partially inhibited enzyme could be rapidly pelleted and resuspended in NENMBA-free buffer and inhibition was observed to continue, albeit at a somewhat diminished rate, suggesting that NENMBA gains access to its inhibitory site after partitioning into the lipid phase rather than directly from the aqueous solution. Photolysis of NENMBA-inhibited enzyme resulted in covalent incorporation of the reagent into the alpha-subunit of the Na,K-ATPase, as observed by separation of labeled protein on a Laemmli gel and Western analysis using a polyclonal amiloride antibody. Almost all of the covalent labeling could be prevented by the presence of Rb in the incubation and labeling medium. These results suggest that NENMBA inhibits the Na, K-ATPase by disruption of the cation transport domain rather than the catalytic domain of the enzyme and that it promises to be a useful tool for cation site localization.

Abstract
Nitrophenyl-EGTA and DM-nitrophen are Ca2+ cages that release Ca2+ when cleaved upon illumination with near-ultraviolet light. Laser photolysis of nitrophenyl-EGTA produced transient intermediates that decayed biexponentially with rates of 500,000 s-1 and 100,000 s-1 in the presence of saturating Ca2+ and 290,000 s-1 and 68,000 s-1 in the absence of Ca2+ at pH 7.2 and 25 degrees C. Laser photolysis of nitrophenyl-EGTA in the presence of Ca2+ and the Ca2+ indicator Ca-orange-5N produced a monotonic increase in the indicator fluorescence, which had a rate of 68,000 s-1 at pH 7.2 and 25 degrees C. Irradiation of DM-nitrophen produced similar results with somewhat slower kinetics. The transient intermediates decayed with rates of 80,000 s-1 and 11,000 s-1 in the presence of Ca2+ and 59,000 s-1 and 3,600 s-1 in the absence of Ca2+ at pH 7.2 and 25 degrees C. The rate of increase in Ca(2+)-indicator fluorescence produced upon photolysis of the DM-nitrophen: Ca2+ complex was 38,000 s-1 at pH 7.2 and 25 degrees C. In contrast, pulses in Ca2+ concentration were generated when the chelator concentrations were more than the total Ca2+ concentration. Photoreleased Ca2+ concentration stabilized under these circumstances to a steady state within 1-2 ms.

Abstract
The pre-myosin light chain (MLC20) phosphorylation components of the lag phase (td) of contractile activation were determined in permeabilized smooth muscles activated by photolytic release of ATP from caged ATP and/or Ca2+ from 4-(2-nitrophenyl)-EGTA (NP-EGTA). Calmodulin (CaM) shortened the td (470 ms at 0 added CaM) that followed Ca2+ release, but its effect (td = approximately 200 ms) saturated at 40 microM. Photolysis of caged ATP following preequilibration with identical [Ca4CaM] shortened td to 41 ms. The rate of phosphorylation was very fast (3.5 s-1 at 22 degrees C in the presence of 5 microM exogenous CaM) following photolysis of caged ATP, and, following Ca2+ release, phosphorylation was accelerated by CaM. Simultaneous photolysis of caged ATP and NP-EGTA was followed by a td of 194 ms at 5 microM CaM and a rate of MLC20 phosphorylation intermediate between these parameters following photolysis of, respectively, NP-EGTA and caged ATP. In the presence of the normal, total endogenous CaM content (37 +/- 4 microM) of protal vein smooth muscles td was 565 ms. Steady state maximum force at pCa 5.5 was increased by much lower (100 nM) exogenous [CaM] than was required (> 2.5 microM) to shorten the td. We estimate the endogenous CaM available under steady state conditions in vivo to be approximately 0.25 microM and probably less during a rapid Ca2+ transient. We conclude that the [CaM] dependence of the kinetics of MLC20 phosphorylation and force development (t1/2 and td) initiated by Ca2+ reflects the recruitment of a slowly diffusible component of total CaM. The relatively long duration of td (197 ms) at saturating [CaM] suggests the contribution to td of an additional component, possibly a prephosphorylation activation/isomerization of the Ca4CaM myosin light chain kinase complex (Török, K., and Trentham, D. R. (1994) Biochemistry 33, 12807-12820). The relatively short delay (108 ms in the presence of 40 microM CaM) following simultaneous photolysis of NP-EGTA and caged ATP suggests that preincubation with ATP (prior to photolysis of NP-EGTA) may inhibit the formation of a preactive Ca2CaM myosin light chain kinase complex.

Abstract
Extensive proteolytic digestion of Na+,K(+)-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.37) by trypsin produces a preparation where most of the extramembrane portions of the alpha subunit have been digested away and the beta subunit remains essentially intact. The fragment Gln-737-Arg-829 of the Na+,K(+)-ATPase alpha subunit, which includes the putative transmembrane hairpin M5-M6, is readily, selectively, and irreversibly released from the posttryptic membrane preparation after incubation at 37 degrees C for several minutes. Once released from the membrane, the fragment aggregates but remains water soluble. Occlusion of K+ or Rb+ specifically prevents release of the Gln-737-Arg-829 fragment into the supernatant. Labeling of the posttryptic membrane preparation with cysteine-directed reagents revealed that Cys-802 (which is thought to be located within the M6 segment) is protected against the modification by Rb+ while this fragment is in the membrane but can be readily modified upon release. Cation occlusion apparently alters the folding and/or disposition of the M5-M6 fragment in the membrane in a way that does not occur when the fragment migrates to the aqueous phase. The ligand-dependent disposition of the M5-M6 hairpin in the membrane along with recent labeling studies suggest a key role for this segment in cation pumping by Na+,K(+)-ATPase.

Abstract
The Na/Ca exchanger from lobster muscle crossreacts specifically with antibodies raised against the dog heart Na/Ca exchanger. Immunoblots of the lobster muscle and mammalian heart exchangers, following SDS-PAGE, indicate that the invertebrate and mammalian exchangers have similar molecular weights: about 120 kDa. The exchanger from lobster muscle was partially purified and functionally reconstituted into asolectin vesicles which were loaded with 160 mM NaCl. 45Ca uptake by these proteoliposomes was promoted by replacing 160 mM NaCl in the external medium with 160 mM KCl to produce an outwardly-directed Na+ concentration gradient. When the proteoliposomes were adsorbed onto black lipid membranes (BLM), and DM-Nitrophen-Ca2+ ("caged Ca2+") was added to the KCl medium, photolytically-evoked Ca2+ concentration jumps elicited transient electric currents. These currents corresponded to positive charge exiting from the proteoliposomes, and were consistent with the Na/Ca exchanger-mediated exit of 3 Na+ in exchange for 1 entering Ca2+. The current was dependent upon the Ca2+ concentration jump, the protein integrity, and the outwardly directed Na+ gradient. KCl-loaded proteoliposomes did not produce any current. Low external Na+ concentrations augmented the current, whereas Na+ concentrations > 25 mM reduced the current. The dependence of the current on free Ca2+ was Michaelis-Menten-like, with half-maximal activation (KM(Ca)) at < 10 microM Ca2+. Caged Sr2+ and Ba2+, but not Mg2+, also supported photolysis-evoked outward current, as did Ni2+, but not Mn2+. However, Mg2+ and Mn2+ augmented the Ca-dependent current, perhaps by facilitating the adsorption of proteoliposomes to the BLM. The Ca-dependent current was irreversibly blocked by La3+ (added as 200 microM DMN-La3+). The results indicate that the properties of the Na/Ca exchanger can be studied with these electro-physiological methods.

Abstract
Channel adaptation is a fundamental feature of sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium release channels (called ryanodine receptors, RyRs). It permits successive increases in the intracellular concentration of calcium (Ca2+) to repeatedly but transiently activate channels. Adaptation of RyRs in the absence of magnesium (Mg2+) and adenosine triphosphate is an extremely slow process (taking seconds). Photorelease of Ca2+ from nitrophenyl-EGTA, a photolabile Ca2+ chelator, demonstrated that RyR adaptation is rapid (milliseconds) in canine heart muscle when physiological Mg2+ concentrations are present. Phosphorylation of the RyR by protein kinase A increased the responsiveness of the channel to Ca2+ and accelerated the kinetics of adaptation. These properties of the RyR from heart may also be relevant to other cells in which multiple agonist-dependent triggering events regulate cellular functions.

Abstract
The transmembrane segments of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase were determined by trypsinization of cytoplasmic side-out intact sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles. The membrane portion of tryptic digest comprising the transmembrane fragments, joined by the intravesicular segments, was separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis after labeling with fluorescein 5-maleimide in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. In this way, seven fluorescent bands of tryptic fragments below 11 kDa were observed which were derived from 4 pairs of membrane spanning segments and one hydrophobic sequence at the C-terminal end. Two peptides of 10.8 and 10.6 kDa had the identical N-terminal sequence beginning at Glu826, representing the transmembrane segments M7 and M8 and their connecting loop. A band at 8.1 kDa contained one peptide beginning at Tyr36 (M1/loop/M2). A 7.7-kDa peptide starting at Leu253 (M3/loop/M4) and a 7.3-kDa peptide beginning at Ala752 (M5/loop/M6) were also observed. A band at 6.7 kDa contained two peptides, one beginning at Ser48 (M1/loop/M2) and another beginning at Tyr763 (M5/loop/M6). In addition, a 4-kDa peptide beginning at Met925 was observed. The size of this peptide did not allow for a complete pair of transmembrane segments, but this peptide could have been derived from trypsinolysis between the last pair of membrane spanning segments. These data therefore provide biochemical evidence for at least 8 transmembrane segments and perhaps two more at the C-terminal end of the enzyme.

Abstract
Wilson disease is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper transport. Disease symptoms develop from the toxic build-up of copper primarily in the liver, and subsequently in the brain, kidney, cornea and other tissues. A candidate gene for WD (ATP7B) has recently been identified based upon apparent disease-specific mutations and a striking amino acid homology to the gene (ATP7A) responsible for another human copper transport disorder, X-linked Menkes disease (MNK). The cloning of WD and MNK genes provides the first opportunity to study copper homeostasis in humans. A preliminary analysis of the WD gene is presented which includes: isolation and characterization of the 5'-end of the gene; construction of a genomic restriction map; identification of all 21 exon/intron boundaries; characterization of extensive alternative splicing in brain; prediction of structure/function features of the WD and MNK proteins which are unique to the subset of heavy metal-transporting P-type ATPases; and comparative analysis of the six metal-binding domains. The analysis indicates that WD and MNK proteins belong to a subset of transporting ATPases with several unique features presumably reflecting their specific regulation and function. It appears that the mechanism of alternative splicing serves to regulate the amount of functional WD protein produced in brain, kidney, placenta, and possibly in liver.

Abstract
Incubation of purified renal Na,K-ATPase with the fluorescent carboxyl-selective reagent, 4-(diazomethyl)-7-(diethylamino)- coumarin (DEAC), results in enzyme inactivation via disruption of the monovalent cation binding sites and loss of K+ and Na+ binding capacity. Modification of 1 or 2 carboxyl residues in the alpha-subunit in a K+ or Na(+)-preventable manner leaves the ATP binding unaltered, and the enzyme is still able to undergo the major conformational transitions (Argüello, J. M., and Kaplan, J. H. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 14627-14635). Labeled alpha-subunits of Na,K-ATPase were isolated by gel electrophoresis and digested using V8 protease. The digests contained two bands which were fluorescently labeled in a cation-protectable fashion. Four peptides were identified in these bands. Peptides I (apparent molecular mass approximately 17 kDa), II (approximately 15 kDa), and IIIa (approximately 5 kDa) start at Gly758 while Peptide IIIb (approximately 5 kDa) starts at Gly561. Subsequent proteolysis of peptides IIIa and IIIb with thermolysin followed by electrophoresis revealed a single smaller fluorescent peptide which passed through 3-kDa cut-off membrane filters but was retained by 1-kDa cut off filters. N-terminal sequence analysis of this peptide gave the sequence 773Leu-Thr-Ser-Asn-Ile-Pro-Glu-Ile-Thr-Pro-Phe-Leu. The length of this peptide was also examined in labeling experiments with cysteine-reactive probes which indicated that the peptide did not extend to the next carboxyl-containing amino acid residue in the alpha-subunit sequence (Asp804). The site of attachment of DEAC is thus Glu779, an intramembrane carboxyl residue present in all known sequences of alpha-subunit isoforms of the Na,K-ATPase. This glutamate is essential for Na+ and K+ binding and active transport by the sodium pump. Its location in the fifth transmembrane segment provides a way in which information about ATP binding and phosphorylation in the major cytoplasmic loop of the enzyme is transmitted to intramembrane cation sites during the reaction cycle.

Abstract
The membrane-bound fraction of purified Na,K-ATPase was characterized following extensive proteolytic digestion in the presence of various physiological ligands which stabilize different conformational states of the sodium pump. There are distinctive conformational changes of the protein which are revealed by amino-terminal amino acid sequence analysis of the digests following sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The changes in cleavage patterns result from alterations in domain-domain interactions of the protein. We provide evidence in the alpha-subunit for (i) tight interaction between part of the cytoplasmic ATP binding domain and the membrane-bound portion of the protein; (ii) involvement of the cytoplasmic loop between M2 and M3 in structural rearrangements upon phosphorylation or ion binding; (iii) generation of the same digested products when either ouabain or potassium (rubidium) is present. Similarly, evidence is provided for conformational sensitivity of the extracellular domain of the beta-subunit. The position of the tryptic cleavage point in the beta-subunit is altered depending on whether the alpha-subunit is phosphorylated or whether rubidium ions are occluded. Based upon the conformationally dependent patterns of exposure and protection of different tryptic cleavage sites in the alpha- and beta-subunits we propose a model for intraprotein interactions within the alpha-subunit and between alpha- and beta-subunits following the binding of physiological ligands to the Na,K-ATPase.

Abstract
The synthesis and properties of a caged calcium are described. The compound is an ortho-nitrophenyl derivative of EGTA. It is synthesized in 10 steps and with 24% overall yield. The photosensitive chelator, nitrophenyl-EGTA, has a Kd value for Ca2+ of 80 nM and for Mg2+ of 9 mM. Upon exposure to UV radiation (approximately 350 nm), the chelator is cleaved, yielding iminodiacetic acid photoproducts with low Ca affinity (Kd = 1 mM). The quantum yield of photolysis of nitrophenyl-EGTA in the presence of Ca2+ is 0.23 and in the absence of Ca2+ is 0.20. In experiments with chemically skinned skeletal muscle fibers, a fully relaxed fiber equilibrated with nitrophenyl-EGTA-Ca2+ complex, in the presence of 1 mM free Mg2+, maximally contracted after a single flash from a frequency-doubled ruby laser (347 nm). Half-maximal tension was achieved in 18 ms at 15 degrees C. Nitrophenyl-EGTA provides a tool for the investigation of the mechanism of Ca(2+)-dependent physiological processes, since under conditions of normal intracellular Ca2+ and Mg2+ concentrations, only Ca2+ is bound by the photolabile chelator and on illumination released rapidly and in high photochemical yield.

Abstract
The role of the Na,K-ATPase beta-subunit in stabilization of ion-binding sites has been investigated. Treatment of the purified renal Na,K-ATPase with 0.25 M DTT at 40 degrees C for 1 h resulted in 50% loss of Rb occlusion, which correlates with partial reduction of S-S bridges in the extracellular portion of the beta-subunit; both of these effects were prevented by the presence of 20 mM RbCl. To clarify the role of the extracellular portion of the beta-subunit, "19-kDa membranes" (Na,K-ATPase posttryptic residues, which have been shown to possess many of the cation-binding properties) were used. Incubation of the "19-kDa membranes" with 0.2 M DTT for 1 h at 37 degrees C abolished 70-80% of the 86Rb occlusion capacity. This was accompanied by accumulation of 16- and 17-kDa peptides (in SDS-PAGE of the membranes) and release of a 45-kDa band derived from the Na,K-ATPase beta-subunit to the supernatant. The appearance of the 45-kDa fragment of the beta-subunit in the supernatant confirms the existence of only one transmembrane fragment in this subunit. N-Terminal sequence analysis of the 16- and 17-kDa bands revealed the same structure, A-K-E-E-G-, which corresponds to the beta-subunit sequence beginning at Ala5. The simultaneous presence of 25 mM RbCl (but not 25 mM choline chloride) during DTT treatment prevents almost all (85%) of the loss of Rb occlusion, the appearance of 16- and 17-kDa bands, and reduction and release of the 45-kDa fragment.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Treatment of the canine renal Na,K-ATPase with N-(2-nitro-4-isothiocyanophenyl)-imidazole (NIPI) results in irreversible loss of enzymatic activity. The reactivity of the protein toward the probe is about 10-fold greater in the E1.Na or sodium-bound form than when it is in the E2.K or potassium-bound form. Fully inactivated enzyme does not bind ATP but binds sodium and potassium and undergoes the major enzyme conformational transitions (Ellis-Davies, G. C. R., and Kaplan, J. H. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 20570-20576). Labeling of the sodium pump protein with [3H]NIPI in either the E1.Na or E2.K conformations results in the covalent incorporation of one molecule of probe per alpha-subunit of ATPase. Trypsin treatment of purified alpha-subunit, and separation of the digest using reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography, yields five major radioactive fragments in each case. Amino acid sequencing indicates that only one residue, lysine 501, is labeled by NIPI. This suggests that the integrity of the domain containing Lys501 is essential for both high and low affinity binding of ATP by the Na,K-ATPase. Furthermore, the spatial organization of the protein close to lysine 501 is changed in the E1.Na and E2.K form of the enzyme. This change is reflected in the greater reactivity of lysine 501 in the E1.Na conformation and indicates that the binding of either sodium or potassium ions to their sites on the sodium pump has differential effects on the nucleotide binding domain containing lysine 501.

Abstract
Cross-bridge structure and mechanics were studied during development of skinned frog muscle fiber contractions initiated by photolysis of DM-nitrophen (a caged Ca2+). Stiffness rises earlier than tension following photo-release of Ca2+. A similar lead of stiffness in electrically stimulated fibers and the early rise of the I11/I10 ratio of equatorial X-ray reflections are thought to signal attachment of cross-bridges into states with lower force than in steady-state contraction. We investigated the structure of the early attachments by electron microscopy of fibers activated by photolysis of DM-nitrophen and then ultra-rapidly frozen and freeze substituted with tannic acid and OsO4. Sections from relaxed fibers show helical tracks of myosin heads on the thick filaments surface. Optical diffraction patterns show strong meridional intensities and layer lines up to the 6th order of 1/43 nm, indicating preservation and resolution of periodic structures smaller than 10 nm. Following photo-release of Ca2+, the 1/43 nm myosin layer line becomes less intense, and higher orders disappear. A approximately 1/36 nm layer line appears early (12-15 ms) and becomes stronger at later times. The 1/14.3 nm meridional spot weakens initially and recovers at a later time, while it broadens laterally. The 1/43 nm meridional spot is present during contraction, but the 2nd order meridional spot (1/21.5 nm) is weak or absent. These results are consistent with time resolved X-ray diffraction data on the periodic structures within the fiber. In sections along the 1,1 plane of activated fibers, the individual cross-bridges have a wide range of shapes and angles, perpendicular to the fiber axis or pointing toward or away from the Z-line. Fibers frozen at 13 ms, 33 ms, and 220 ms after photolysis all show surprisingly similar cross-bridges. Thus, a highly variable distribution of cross-bridge shapes and angles is established early in contraction.

Abstract
The sodium pump or Na,K-ATPase, maintains the Na+ and K+ gradients across eukaryotic cell membranes at the expense of ATP. Incubation of purified canine renal Na,K-ATPase with 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (SITS) inhibited the ATPase activity. Both the labeling of the protein and the loss of ATPase activity were prevented by co-incubation with ADP (acting as an ATP analog) or KCl. Only the alpha-subunit was labeled by SITS. The alpha-subunit from the inhibited enzyme was extensively digested with trypsin, and SITS-labeled peptides were purified by reverse-phase HPLC and sequenced. The amino acid sequence determined, His-Leu-Leu-Val-Met-X-Gly-Ala-Pro-Glu, indicated that SITS modifies Lys-501 (X) on the alpha-subunit of Na,K-ATPase.

Abstract
We have recently reported that the Na pump alpha-subunit has cytosolic-oriented oligosaccharides which were sensitive to cleavage by an enzyme specific for hydrolysis of N-linked glycans [Pedemonte et al. (1990) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 87, 9789-9793]. We now describe experiments that characterize the saccharides and further substantiate our previous findings. Bovine milk galactosyltransferase has been used in conjunction with radiolabeled UDP-galactose to label N-acetylglucosamine residues on the protein. The Na pump alpha-subunit contains some O-linked carbohydrates; however, the bulk (> 80%) of the radioactivity was found in oligosaccharides sensitive to peptide:N-glycosidase F degradation but not to alkaline hydrolysis. Alkaline hydrolysis produced degradation of the protein, and the [3H]Gal radiolabeled carbohydrates remained bound to peptides and were released by subsequent peptide N-glycosidase F treatment. The exogenously galactosylated sugars cleaved by the glycosidase were analyzed by liquid chromatography and had elution volumes identical to a galactose-N-acetylglucosamine disaccharide standard. Since the galactose was exogenously added, we propose that the N-linked glycans on the alpha-subunit of the Na pump are composed of a single sugar residue, which is probably N-acetylglucosamine.

Abstract
The CHAT classification separates various current and historical presentations of cerebrovascular disease in an effort to determine important prognostic clues for management and prognosis. To evaluate known risk factors for late stroke and death, we followed up for an average of 44 months 633 patients who had undergone 714 carotid operations. We analyzed the indication for surgery (by CHAT) and the effect of preoperative risk factors (age, hypertension, cardiac disease, tobacco use, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, renal disease, pulmonary disease, and total risk factor score) on the end points of late stroke and death. Ipsilateral stroke was uncommon after carotid endarterectomy: with life-table analysis, the probability of late stroke at 5 years after carotid endarterectomy was 3%. Among the 127 patients with amaurosis fugax, the incidence of late stroke and of mortality was a combined total of 1% per year, and the 17 patients who had been first seen with permanent ocular stroke (blindness) fared equally well. The 28 patients who were first seen with vertebrobasilar symptoms and were treated by carotid endarterectomy also fared particularly well, with no late strokes or deaths within the first 5 years. Logistic regression analyses revealed that the various indications for carotid endarterectomy were associated with differing patterns of risk factors as significant predictors of late stroke or death. For patients first seen with asymptomatic lesions, only diabetes was an important predictor for late stroke (p = 0.05) and renal disease was the only marker for early death (p = 0.05). On the other hand, those factors were not significant risk factors for patients first seen with amaurosis fugax, for whom tobacco use was a negative predictor for stroke (p = 0.06) and male gender a negative predictor for early death (p = 0.03). After cortical transient ischemic attacks and carotid endarterectomy, there were no risk factors predictive of late stroke or of death. For patients with prior stroke, age was a very strong predictor of stroke (p = 0.01) and both age and a history of cardiac disease were significant risk factors for early death (p = 0.007). In contrast to the results in reports of patients treated medically for transient ischemic attacks and stroke, we found that several risk factors appeared to play relatively minor roles. In conclusion, stroke after carotid endarterectomy was uncommon, least common after ocular symptoms, and most likely after permanent cortical stroke. Specific risk factors were less important for patients after carotid endarterectomy than for the medically treated stroke patient.

Abstract
The determination of the rate of release of Ca2+ by pulsed photolysis of the photolabile chelator DM-nitrophen is important for its use in time-resolved physiological studies: the rate of substrate or effector release should be faster than the processes they initiate. Flash photolysis of DM-nitrophen using a 50-ns pulse from a frequency-doubled ruby laser (with emission at 347 nm having energy of ca. 10-20 mJ) yields short-lived photochromic or aci-nitro intermediates. At pH 6.9, double-exponential decay of a photochromic intermediate was observed for DM-nitrophen itself and its Ca2+ complex (tau 1/2 values of 24 and 570 microseconds, and 32 and 220 microseconds respectively), while only monoexponential decay of the DM-nitrophen-Mg2+ complex was detected (tau 1/2 = 31 microseconds). Only the photochemistry of DM-nitrophen-Ca2+ was found to be pH sensitive (monoexponential decay, tau 1/2 approximately 115 microseconds at pH 7.9 and 8.9). Use of the Ca(2+)-sensitive metallochromic dye antipyrylazo III in conjunction with pulsed photolysis of DM-nitrophen-Ca2+ enabled an upper limit of the half-time of release of Ca2+ to be established of ca. 180 microseconds (the rate of association of Ca2+ with the dye was probably rate determining). The rate of Ca2+ photorelease may, however, be faster than this. Thus, the DM-nitrophen-Ca2+ complex releases Ca2+ on photolysis sufficiently rapidly for the study of many Ca(2+)-dependent physiological processes with improved kinetic resolution over conventional mixing methods.

Abstract
Treatment of isolated canine renal Na,K-ATPase with a stable diazomethane analog, 4-(diazomethyl)-7-(diethylamino)-coumarin (DEAC), results in enzyme inactivation. The inactivation rate was dramatically increased when the enzyme was treated with DEAC in the presence of ATP and Mg2+ (in imidazole buffer) or Pi and Mg2+, conditions which produce enzyme phosphorylation. Inactivation in the presence of Pi and Mg2+ could be partially prevented by Na+ and almost completely prevented by K+. The quantity of DEAC covalently bound to the Na,K-ATPase was determined spectrophotometrically. The extent of inactivation was linearly related to the amount of K-protectable DEAC incorporation. Complete inactivation of ATPase activity occurred with 2.14 +/- 0.18 nmol of DEAC covalently bound/mg of protein. This suggests that only 1 or 2 carboxyl residues/catalytic center (estimated by high affinity ADP binding) are involved in the modification leading to inactivation. The modified enzyme exhibited normal levels of high affinity [3H]ADP (and hence ATP) binding, thus, the nucleotide-binding domain of the enzyme seems unaffected by the modification. In contrast, under conditions where native enzyme was able to occlude 3.82 nmol of K+ ions/mg of protein, DEAC-modified enzyme occluded only 0.33 nmol of K+ ions. Na+ occlusion by the enzyme (in the presence of oligomycin) was also reduced (by 80%) following treatment with DEAC. Phosphorylation by [32P]inorganic phosphate and Na(+)-activated phosphorylation of the modified enzyme with [32P]ATP yielded reduced levels of phosphoenzyme (about 36%) compared to native enzyme. The DEAC-modified [32P]phosphoenzyme formed from [32P]ATP was insensitive to the addition of K+ ions, under conditions which led to the rapid hydrolysis of native phosphoenzyme. Gel electrophoresis of modified protein revealed strong fluorescence labeling of the alpha-subunit, which was substantially reduced if treatment with DEAC was performed in the presence of K+ ions. Partial tryptic digestion and electrophoretic analysis revealed normal degradation patterns in the presence of ADP (E1 form) but the typical patterns, seen with K+ ions (E2K) or Na+ ions (E1Na) in native enzyme, were absent. A typical E2-like tryptic degradation pattern was seen, however, in the presence of vanadate ions and ouabain, suggesting that the modification does not freeze the enzyme in an E1 conformation and that the enzyme is still able to undergo the E1E2 conformational transition after modification. Our results suggest that a small number of carboxyl residues in the sodium pump alpha-subunit (perhaps one) are essential for K+ and Na+ binding and stabilizing the occluded enzyme cation forms. Esterification of the carboxyl groups by DEAC inactivates the enzyme.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
We demonstrate that the Na(+)-pump alpha-subunit polypeptide is glycosylated by using bovine milk galactosyltransferase, a specific enzyme which attaches galactose to terminal N-acetylglucosamine residues. The galactose acceptor sites are available for glycosylation only after permeabilization of right-side-out vesicles prepared from kidney outer medulla; therefore, the oligosaccharide moieties are facing the cytoplasm of the cell. We further show that the oligosaccharides are bound to asparagine residues of the alpha-subunit polypeptide, since the protein-carbohydrate linkage is hydrolyzed by peptide-N glycosidase F (an enzyme specific for N-linked sugars). Thus, the Na(+)-pump alpha subunit is a glycoprotein with its N-linked oligosaccharide moieties located at the cytosolic face of the cell membrane. Intrinsic membrane glycoproteins with such an oligosaccharide-protein linkage and cell membrane orientation have not been previously reported, to our knowledge.

Abstract
Treatment of the canine renal Na,K-ATPase with N-(2-nitro-4-isothiocyanophenyl)-imidazole (NIPI), a new imidazole-based probe, results in irreversible loss of enzymatic activity. Inactivation of 95% of the Na,K-ATPase activity is achieved by the covalent binding of 1 molecule of [3H]NIPI to a single site on the alpha-subunit of the Na,K-ATPase. The reactivity of this site toward NIPI is about 10-fold greater when the enzyme is in the E1Na or sodium-bound form than when it is in the E2K or potassium-bound form. K+ ions prevent the enhanced reactivity associated with Na+ binding. Labeling and inactivation of the enzyme is prevented by the simultaneous presence of ATP or ADP (but not by AMP). The apparent affinity with which ATP prevents the inactivation by NIPI at pH 8.5 is increased from 30 to 3 microM by the presence of Na+ ions. This suggests that the affinity with which native enzyme binds ATP (or ADP) at this pH is enhanced by Na+ binding to the enzyme. Modification of the single sodium-responsive residue on the alpha-subunit of the Na,K-ATPase results in loss of high affinity ATP binding, without affecting phosphorylation from Pi. Modification with NIPI probably alters the adenosine binding region without affecting the region close to the phosphorylated carboxyl residue aspartate 369. Tightly bound (or occluded) Rb+ ions are not displaced by ATP (4 mM) in the inactivated enzyme. Thus modification of a single residue simultaneously blocks ATP acting with either high or low affinity on the Na,K-ATPase. These observations suggest that there is a single residue on the alpha-subunit (probably a lysine) which drastically alters its reactivity as Na+ binds to the enzyme. This lysine residue is essential for catalytic activity and is prevented from reacting with NIPI when ATP binds to the enzyme. Thus, the essential lysine residue involved may be part of the ATP binding domain of the Na,K-ATPase.

Abstract
The kinetics of Ca2+ binding to the high-affinity sites of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2(+)-ATPase were directly investigated by continuously monitoring the extravesicular calcium concentration via the metallochromic indicator Arsenazo III following the release of Ca2+ from a photolabile caged-calcium molecule, 1-(2-nitro-4,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-N,N,N',N'-tetrakis [(oxycarbony)methyl]-1,2-ethanediamine (DM-nitrophen), utilizing a pulsed Nd:YAG laser for photolysis. The nature of the binding kinetics is at least biphasic over the first 400 ms for vesicular dispersions of SR. The stoichiometry for calcium binding expressed as Ca:E1 approximately P has been calculated to be approximately 1.4:1 for the pure SR preparation under the reaction conditions employed.

Abstract
Treatment of renal Na,K-ATPase with N-acetylimidazole (NAI) results in loss of Na,K-ATPase activity. The inactivation kinetics can be described by a model in which two classes of sites are acetylated by NAI. The class I sites are rapidly reacting, the acetylation is prevented by the presence of ATP (K0.5 congruent to 8 microM), and the inactivation is reversed by incubation with hydroxylamine. These data suggest that the class I sites are tyrosine residues at the ATP binding site. The second class of sites are more slowly reacting, not protected by ATP, nor reversed by hydroxylamine treatment. These are probably lysine residues elsewhere in the protein. The associated K-stimulated p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity is inactivated by acetylation of the class II sites only; thus the tyrosine residues associated with ATP binding to the catalytic center are not essential for phosphatase activity. Inactivated enzyme no longer has high-affinity ATP binding associated with the catalytic site, although low-affinity ATP effects (inhibition of phosphatase and deocclusion of Rb) are still present. The inactivated enzyme can still be phosphorylated by Pi, occlude Rb+ ions, and undergo the major conformational transitions between the E1 Na and E2 K forms of the enzyme. Thus acetylation of the Na,K-ATPase by NAI inhibits high-affinity ATP binding to the catalytic center and produces inactivation.

Abstract
The glycosylation of H+K(+)-ATPase vesicles isolated from hog gastric mucosa was investigated by various methods. Following protein separation on sodium dodecyl sulfate reducing gels and transfer to poly(vinyl difluoride) membranes, binding of concanavalin A was confined to the 94-kDa band which corresponds to the catalytic subunit. In contrast, wheat germ agglutinin binding occurred in a region below the 94-kDa subunit, corresponding to the 60-85-kDa region, and also to protein just above the catalytic subunit. Treatment with glycopeptidase F removed most of the concanavalin A staining and also the wheat germ agglutinin staining found below the 94-kDa region, but spared the higher molecular weight wheat germ agglutinin reactive material. During the deglycosylation experiments a protein of 35-kDa was produced. Sequencing analysis of V8 protease generated peptide fragments of the 35-kDa protein show at least 30% homology with the Na+K(+)-ATPase beta-subunits. Labeling of the carbohydrates by galactosyltransferase and [3H]uridine diphosphate-galactose showed that the sites of labeling were extracellular and were confined to the wheat germ agglutinin staining regions. Two molecular weight regions, below the 94-kDa region, of 60 and 85 kDa were identified. Electron microscopy using postembedding staining techniques showed that both concanavalin A and wheat germ agglutinin staining occurred on the extracellular face of the gastric vesicles.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Chemical modification of specific residues in enzymes, with the characterization of the type of inhibition and properties of the modified activity, is an established approach in structure-function studies of proteins. This strategy has become more productive in recent years with the advances made in obtaining primary sequence information from gene-cloning technologies. This article discusses the application of chemical modification procedures to the study of the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase protein. A wide array of information has become available about the kinetics, enzyme structure, and various conformational states as a result of the combined use of inhibitors, ligands, modifiers, and proteolytic enzymes. We will review a variety of reagents and approaches that have been employed to arrive at structure-function correlates and discuss critically the limits and ambiguities in the type of information obtained from these methodologies. Chemical modification of the Na(+)-pump protein has already provided a body of data and will, we anticipate, guide the efforts of mutagenesis studies in the future when suitable expression systems become available.

Abstract
The effect of rapid increases of extracellular Ca2+ concentration on tension development and Ca2+ channel selectivity has been investigated in frog (Rana pipiens) ventricular myocardium using a novel light-sensitive Ca2+ chelator, dimethoxy-nitrophen. Dimethoxy-nitrophen is a photolabile tetracarboxylate Ca2+ chelator that on photolysis to dicarboxylate fragments alters its affinity (Kd) for Ca2+ from 5 X 10(-9) to 2 X 10(-3) M. A single 160-microseconds ultraviolet light pulse induced the release of approximately 80-100 microM Ca2+ with a half-time of 200 microseconds. In low extracellular Ca2+ concentration, Na+ current through the Ca2+ channel was blocked by photorelease of extracellular Ca2+ in less than 500 microseconds; nevertheless, 60-80 ms were required to activate or enhance tension. Enhancement of tension was more effective when Ca2+ was released during the activation of the Ca2+ channel than during its inactivation. The voltage dependence of enhanced tension, caused by photorelease of Ca2+, was bell shaped and was similar to that of Ca2+ current. These findings suggest that Ca2+ transport through the Ca2+ channel is the primary mechanism for the transport of Ca2+ to activate tension in the frog heart. The use of dimethoxy-nitrophen makes it possible to examine the rapid kinetics of the Ca-dependent processes involved in regulation of channel function and contraction.
