  • Title: Ligands presumed to label high affinity and low affinity ATP binding sites do not interact in an (alpha beta)2 diprotomer in duck nasal gland Na+,K+-ATPase, nor Do the sites coexist in native enzyme.

    Abstract:
    The interaction of ligands deemed to be ATP analogues with renal Na(+),K(+)-ATPase suggests that two ATP binding sites coexist on each functional unit. Previous studies in which fluorescein 5-isothiocyanate (FITC) was used to label the high affinity ATP site and 2'(3')-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)adenosine 5'-diphosphate (TNP-ADP) was used to probe the low affinity site suggested that the two sites coexist on the same alphabeta protomer. Other studies in which FITC labeled the high affinity site and erythrosin-5-isothiocyanate (ErITC) labeled the low affinity site led to the conclusion that the high and low affinity sites exist on separate interacting protomers in a functional diprotomer. We report here that at 100% inhibition of ATPase activity by FITC, each alphabeta protomer of duck nasal gland enzyme has a single bound FITC. Both TNP-ADP and ErITC interact with FITC-bound protomers, which unambiguously demonstrates that putative high and low affinity ATP sites coexist on the same protomer. In unlabeled nasal gland enzyme, TNP-ADP and ErITC inhibit both ATPase activity and p-nitrophenyl phosphatase activity, functions attributed to the putative high and low affinity ATP site, respectively, by interacting with a single site with characteristics of the high affinity ATP binding site. In FITC-labeled enzyme, TNP-ADP and ErITC inhibit p- nitrophenyl phosphatase activity but at much higher concentrations than with the unmodified enzyme. Low affinity sites do not exist on the unmodified enzyme but can be detected only after the high affinity site is modified by FITC.
