The effects of ATP on the interactions between monovalent cations and the sodium pump in dialysed squid axons

Abstract: SUMMARY1. The efflux of Na in dialysed axons of the squid has been used to monitor the sidedness of the interactions of the Na pump with Na+ ions, K+ ions and ATP. The axons were under conditions such that most of the Na efflux went through the Na pump by means of a complete cycle of ATP hydrolysis.2. With 310 mM-Kj, 70 mM-Nat and 10 mM-K+ artificial sea water (ASW) more than 97 % of the Na efflux was abolished by removal of ATP. The efflux of Na was stimulated by ATP with a Kj of about 200 /1M. This is simila… Show more

“…It is therefore not surprising that studies in intact cells have failed to show changes of K affinity produced by changing ATP. It is noteworthy that Pi was zero in the dialysed squid axons used to demonstrate the effects of ATP on the K affinity (Beauge & DiPolo, 1979, 1981. We have found (D. A. Eisner & D. E. Richards, in preparation) that when ghosts are prepared to contain inorganic phosphate, changing ATP produces non-parallel Lineweaver-Burk lines.…”

“…Recent work in the squid axon, however, has shown that lowering ATP increases the affinity for external K as an activator of the Na efflux (Beauge6 & DiPolo, 1979, 1981.…”

“…A ping-pong kinetic mechanism for the cation transport of this kind, now firmly established for the Na-K pump (see, for example Sachs, 1979Sachs, , 1980Eisner & Richards, 1981Beauge & Di Polo, 1981) will only give a form V = Vmax([Na]/[Na] + [K])3 if it is the step following Na binding that is rate limiting.…”

“…The external solutions had 200 nM TTX, a concentration high enough to block sodium channels [31]. In axons with 40 mM Na þ i , 440 mM Na þ o , no internal Ca 2+ and a membrane potential of −50 mV, ATP depletion reduces the efflux of Na + to around 0.5-1.0 pmol cm −2 s −1 , which is the value to be expected for electrodiffusion [32,33].…”
