[Na K ATPase activity in mammalian erythrocytes].
The effects of membranotropic substances--nonionic detergent Tween-20 and EDTA--on the activity and some properties of Na,K-ATPase from mammalian erythrocytes were studied. It was shown that pretreatment of whole erythrocytes with Tween-20 (5 mg/ml) allows a detection of the enzyme activity, which cannot be detected in intact cells. It was also found that erythrocyte ghosts with a high and stable activity of Na,K-ATPase can be obtained by injections of EDTA (1-2 mM) into the hemolysis medium. Although the enzyme activity in whole erythrocytes and their ghosts was detected by the use of various membranotropic agents, the type of the dependence of the Na,K-ATPase activity on MgCl2 and EDTA concentration in the incubation medium was essentially the same for both cell preparations, the optimal concentrations of MgCl2 and EDTA being 3 and 1 mM, respectively. A rise in MgCl2 concentration above 3 mM caused a decrease of the enzymatic activity. Simple techniques have been developed for the detection of the Na,K-ATPase activity in mammalian erythrocytes which allow the determination of a higher enzymatic activity than those described in literature.
