title: [Effect of sodium, lithium and amiloride on the K+-dependent phosphatase activity of membrane preparations of Na,K-ATPase].
abstract: Effects of sodium, lithium and amiloride on the ATPase reaction and on its potassium-dependent step were studied using membrane preparations of Na,K-ATPase. It was established that the addition of 70 mM NaCl or LiCl to the reaction medium diminished the hydrolysis of para-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP) by 70 and 40%, respectively. Amiloride (0.8 mM) inhibited activities of Na,K-ATPase and pNPPase by 50 and 15%, respectively. The higher concentrations of amiloride produced a more prominent inhibition of Na,K-ATPase, but not of pNPPase. There was no correlation between the effect of amiloride on the pNPP hydrolysis and potassium concentration in the medium. There was the additivity in the inhibition of pNPPase by 0.8 mM amiloride and sodium or lithium ions up to the concentrations of ions as high as 30 mM. A conclusion is made that the inhibition of Na,K-ATPase by amiloride is mediated through the modification of the sensitivity of the enzyme to sodium.
