    Abstract:
    1. Conditions for binding of [gamma-32P]ATP to bovine brain Na+,K+-stimulated ATPase were investigated by the indirect technique of measuring the initial rate of 32P-labelling of the active site of the enzyme. 2. At 100 muM [gamma-32P]ATP in the presence of 3 mM MgCl2, approximately the same very high rate of formation of [32P]phosphoenzyme was obtained irrespective of whether [gamma-32P]ATP was added to the enzyme simultaneously with, or 70 ms in advance of the addition of NaCl. A comparatively slow rate of phosphorylation was obtained at 5 muM[gamma-32P]ATP without preincubation. However, on preincubation of the enzyme with 5 muM[gamma-32P]ATP a rate of formation of [32P]phosphoenzyme almost as rapid as at 100 muM[gamma-32P]ATP was observed. 3. A transient [32P]phosphoenzyme was discovered. It appeared in the presence of K+, under conditions which allowed extensive binding of [gamma-32P]-ATP. The amount of [gamma-32P]ATP that could be bound to the enzyme seemed to equal the amount of [32P] phosphorylatable sites. 4. The formation of the transient [32P] phosphoenzyme was inhibited by ADP. The transient [32P] phosphoenzyme was concluded mainly to represent the K+-insensitive and ADP-sensitive E1-32P. 5. When KCl was present in the enzyme solution before the addition of NaCl only a comparatively slow rate of phosphorylation was observed. On preincubation of the enzyme with [gamma-32]ATP an increase in the rate of formation of [32P] phosphoenzyme was obtained, but there was no transient [32P]-phosphoenzyme. The transient [32P]phosphoenzyme was, however, detected when the enzyme solution contained NaCl in addition to KCl and the phosphorylation was started by the addition of [gamma-32P]ATP.
