Three‐dimensional structure of renal Na,K‐ATPase determined by electron microscopy of membrane crystals

Abstract: The three-dimensional structure of Na,K-ATPase was determined by electron microscopy and image processing. Tilt series of negatively stained membrane crystals were recorded. The projections were analyzed by Fourier methods and the data combined to a 3-D model. The unit cell contains two rod-shaped staindeficient regions interpreted as ufi-protomers of Na,K-ATPase. The rods are related by dyad axes oriented perpendicular to the membrane. Outside the lipid bilayer the rods contact different protein units on the … Show more

“…In the dimeric crystals the two protomers have been observed in projection images to be similar (4) or dissimilar (2). Also three-dimensional reconstructions of the Na,K-ATPase protein in dimeric crystals have shown unit cells with either two identical protomers (8,18,20) or two differently shaped protomers in each unit cell (6). Recent cryo-electron microscopy of unfixed and unstained two-dimensional cryostals of Na,KATPase in frozen-hydrated preparations have confirmed that the projection structure of the enzyme protein in the crystalline arrays are either dimeric (16,17) or monomeric (16).…”

“…The Na+,K+-ATPase protein is composed of an a and a (3 subunit and is probably present in the membrane as an (a,3)2 diprotomer. Taking the measured lipid/protein ratio of 350 mol of lipid per mol of (a,8)2 dimer, an area per lipid molecule of 0.6 nm2, and the extramembranous dimensions of the (a3)2 Na+,K+-ATPase dimer of 8 x 6 nm (22) yields values of konol = 0.5 x 106, 1.9 x 106, and 4.4 x 106 s51 at 40C, 150C, and 250C, respectively. These values for the collision rate constant have been calculated by assuming a value of T, = 1 ps (20).…”

“…This lattice model is admittedly an oversimplification for protein diffusion, but it should give the correct order of magnitude with appropriate choice of the characteristic length, A. Values for the translational diffusion coefficient of the Na+,K+-ATPase obtained for a value of A 6 nm (22) are then 0.8, 2.9, and 6.6 gm2-s-1 at 40C, 15TC, and 25°(, respectively. These values were calculated by assuming that a: 1, which is consistent with the relatively high degree of labeling of the protein and the surface location of many of the labeled groups (see ref.…”

“…Occupation of the lowaffinity ATP binding site in this model does not affect the affinity and the capacity of the high-affinity ATP binding site; but fixing ATP at either binding site blocks the catalytic activity and the turnover of both subunits. Evidence for a dimeric nature of (Na' + K+)-ATPase has been obtained from radiation inactivation studies [59, 601, molecular mass determinations [61, 621, cross-linking experiments [63, 641 and the three-dimensional analysis of electron microscopic photographs [65,661. We conclude therefore that the experimental results obtained with C O ( N H~)~A T P are consistent with a model of interacting catalytic subunits in the mechanism of (Na' + K+)-ATPase.…”
