title: [The role of conformational changes in the functioning of brain Na,K-ATPase].
abstract: In the experiments with enzyme preparations of Na,K-ATPase from normal brain tissue (NBT) and tumorous brain tissue (TBT) the following data were established: 1) the cooperativity of Na,K-ATPase with Na+ from NBT is temperature-dependent, the Hill coefficient (nH) at 37, 27.0-30.5 and 20-22 degrees C being 1.80 +/- 0.07, 1.30 +/- 0.09 and 1.10 +/- 0.08, respectively; the cooperativity of Na+ with Na,K-ATPase from TBT was absent; 2) the cooperativity for ouabain (nH-1.30 +/- 0.05) was revealed only in the case of Na-pump from TBT; 3) the protective effect of ATP against the inhibitory action of pCMB is temperature-dependent and differs significantly in enzyme preparations from NBT and TBT; 4) the parameters of the temperature inactivation of enzyme preparations at 45-52 degrees C, especially the change of entropy (delta S*) were different in the case of NBT and TBT; 5) a peptide fraction isolated from sheep brain differently inhibited the Na,K-ATPase from NBT and TBT. In conclusion, these data demonstrate that there are significant differences in functioning of Na,K-ATPase from NBT and TBT, and that besides lipid-protein interactions the local domenic conformational changes in the enzyme molecule may play a definite role in these differences.
