    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1982 Oct 22; 692(1):61-8. PubMed ID: 6128997.
    Abstract:
    The present paper characterizes the Na+-stimulated ATPase activity present in basal-lateral plasma membranes from guinea-pig kidney proximal tubular cells. These characteristics are compared with those of the (Na+ + K+)-stimulated ATPase activity, and they are: (A) Na+-ATPase activity: (1) requires Mg2+; (2) may be activated by mu molar quantities of Ca2+; (3) optimal ratio Mg:ATP = 5:1-2 and Ka for Mg:ATP = 3:0.60 mM; (4) Ka for Na+:8 mM; (5) does not require K+; (6) is only stimulated by Na+ and Li+ (in a lower extent); (7) is similarly stimulated by the Na+ salt of different anions; (8) hydrolyzes only ATP; (9) optimal temperature: 47 degrees C; (10) optimal pH: 6.9; (11) is ouabain insensitive; (12) is totally inhibited by 1.5 mM ethacrynic acid, 2 mM furosemide and 0.75 mM triflocin. (B) (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity: (1) also requires Mg2+; (2) is inhibited by Ca2+; (3) optimal ratio Mg:ATP = 1.25:1 and Ka for Mg:ATP = 0.50: 0.40 mM; (4) Ka for Na+: 14 mM (data not shown); (5) needs K+ together with Na+; (6) K+ may be substituted by: Rb+ greater than NH+4 greater than Cs+; (7) is anion insensitive; (8) hydrolyzes mostly ATP and to a lesser extent GTP, ITP, UTP, ADP, CTP; (9) optimal temperature: 52 degrees C; (10) optimal pH: 7.2; (11) 100% inhibited by 1 mM ouabain; (12) 63% inhibited by 1.5 mM ethacrynic acid, 10% inhibited by 2 mM furosemide and insensitive to 0.75 mM triflocin.
