title: Effects of ATP and monovalent cations on Mg2+ inhibition of (Na,K)-ATPase.
abstract: The hydrolysis of ATP catalyzed by purified (Na,K)-ATPase from pig kidney was more sensitive to Mg2+ inhibition when measured in the presence of saturating Na+ and K+ concentrations [(Na,K)-ATPase] than in the presence of Na+ alone, either at saturating [(Na,Na)-ATPase] or limiting [(Na,0)-ATPase] Na+ concentrations. This was observed at two extreme concentrations of ATP (3 mM where the low-affinity site is involved and 3 microM where only the catalytic site is relevant), although Mg2+ inhibition was higher at low ATP concentration. In the case of (Na,Na)-ATPase activity, inhibition was barely observed even at 10 mM free Mg2+ when ATP was 3 mM. When (Na,K)-ATPase activity was measured at different fixed K+ concentrations the apparent Ki for Mg2+ inhibition was lower at higher monovalent cation concentration. When K+ was replaced by its congeners (Rb+, NH+4, Li+), Mg2+ inhibition was more pronounced in those cases in which the dephosphorylating cation forms a tighter enzyme-cation complex after dephosphorylation. This effect was independent of the ATP concentration, although inhibition was more marked at lower ATP for all the dephosphorylating cations. The K0.5 for ATP activation at its low-affinity site, when measured in the presence of different dephosphorylating cations, increased following the sequence Rb+ greater than K+ greater than NH+4 greater than Li+ greater than none. The K0.5 values were lower with 0.05 mM than with 10 mM free Mg2+ but the order was not modified. The trypsin inactivation pattern of (Na,K)-ATPase indicated that Mg2+ kept the enzyme in an E1 state. Addition of K+ changed the inactivation into that observed with the E2 enzyme form. On the other hand, K+ kept the enzyme in an E2 state and addition of Mg2+ changed it to an E1 form. The K0.5 for KCl-induced E1-to-E2 transformation (observed by trypsin inactivation profile) in the presence of 3 mM MgCl2 was about 0.9 mM. These results concur with two mechanisms for free Mg2+ inhibition of (Na,K)-ATPase: "product" and dead-end. The first would result from Mg2+ interaction with the enzyme in the E2(K) occluded state whereas the second would be brought about by a Mg2+-enzyme complex with the enzyme in an E1 state.
