Rat hepatic sodium plus potassium ion-dependent adenosine triphosphatase after treatment with digoxin and thyroxine.
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. The effect of treating rats with digoxin and thyroxine for 45 days has been studied. 2. Animals fed with digoxin gained significantly more weight than the control animals. 3. Treatment with digoxin, thyroxine or both produced a similar significant increase in the amount of Na+ + K+ -dependent adenosine triphosphatase in liver without an additive effect. 4. It is suggested that digoxin resistance in thyrotoxicosis may be related to this similarity in action.

A cycle for ouabain inhibition of sodium- and potassium-dependent adenosine triphosphatase.
Physiological ligands of (sodium-potassium)-dependent adenosine triphosphatase influenced the sensitivity of the enzyme to the inhibitor, ouabain. Phosphorylation of the native enzyme is accelerated by sodium ions, while potassium ions accelerate dephosphorylation. Exposure of the phosphoenzyme to ouabain slowed its turnover and rendered it insensitive to potassium ion. This action of ouabain d...
متن کاملAdenosine diphosphate binding to sodium-plus-potassium ion-dependent adenosine triphosphatase. The role of lipid in the nucleotide-potassium ion interplay.
Delipidated dogfish rectal-gland Na++K+-ATPase (Na++K+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase), almost devoid of hydrolytic activity, is able to bind about 2nmol of ADP/mg of protein. The "affinity" of delipidated enzyme for ADP is not affected by K+ in concentrations that greatly decrease the "affinity" of native Na++K+-ATPase. The K+-sensitivity of the ADP binding is in part restored by relipidat...
متن کاملTemperature-dependence of activation and inhibition of rat-brain adenosine triphosphatase activated by sodium and potassium ions.
1. The adenosine-triphosphatase activity of rat-brain microsomes was measured between 0 degrees and 37 degrees . The stimulatory effect of Na(+) plus K(+) on the Mg(2+)-dependent adenosine-triphosphatase activity decreased sharply with decreasing temperature and became negligible at 0 degrees . An Arrhenius plot drawn from the experimental data showed two discontinuities: one at about 6 degrees...
متن کاملFlexibility of an Active Center in Sodium-Plus-Potassium Adenosine Triphosphatase
In plasma membranes of intact cells an enzymatic pump actively transports sodium ions inward and potassium ions outward. In preparations of broken membranes it appears as an adenosine triphosphatase dependent on magnesium, sodium, and potassium ions together. In this adenosine triphosphatase a phosphorylated intermediate is formed from adenosine triphosphate in the presence of sodium ions and i...
متن کاملDifferential effects of lipid depletion on membrane sodium-plus-potassium ion-dependent adenosine triphosphatase and potassium ion-dependent phosphatase.
The phospholipid-dependence of the (Na-++K-+)-dependent ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) (EC 3.6.1.3) and associated K-+-dependent phosphatase activity (EC 3.6.1.7) have been compared. Unlike the (Na-++K-+)-dependent ATPase activities, the K-+-dependent phosphatase activities of a number of different preparations were not closely correlated with their total phospholipid contents. After partial...
