title: K+ self-exchange by the Na+ pump: regulation by P(i) and metabolic perturbations.
abstract: We have previously demonstrated that the Na(+)-K+ pump on the basolateral membrane of the rabbit cortical collecting duct can function in the K+/K+ exchange mode. Increasing intracellular phosphate in red blood cells inhibits the Na+ pump and increases K+/K+ exchange. We found that maneuvers designed to increase intracellular phosphate in collecting duct cells caused an increase in K+/K+ exchange. Subjecting the cells to a metabolic insult (cyanide) increased K+/K+ exchange by the pump as judged by its ouabain sensitivity and lack of electrogenic or conductive characteristics. The results demonstrate that the rate of K+/K+ exchange by the Na(+)-K+ pump can be altered by changes in intracellular phosphate over a range that is physiologically or pathologically achievable. The results also suggest a mechanism for inhibition of vectorial Na+ transport during metabolic stress.
