Activation by Adenosine Triphosphate in the Phosphorylation Kinetics of Sodium and Potassium Ion Transport Adenosine Triphosphatase

TLDR
It was concluded that adenosine triphosphate was activating the enzyme in a fashion functionally distinct from its action as a phosphate donor, since the concentration of adenosines triph phosphate required for activation was much higher than that required for phosphorylation.

Biochemistry of Na,K-ATPase

TL;DR: The Na,K-ATPase or sodium pump carries out the coupled extrusion and uptake of Na and K ions across the plasma membranes of cells of most higher eukaryotes, and areas where there is still considerable uncertainty are highlighted.

Energy limitation as a selective pressure on the evolution of sensory systems

TL;DR: Assessing evidence from a wide range of vertebrate and invertebrate examples, it is shown that reducing energy expenditure can account for many of the morphological features of sensory systems and has played a key role in their evolution.

Crystal structure of the sodium–potassium pump

TL;DR: The X-ray crystal structure of the pig renal Na+,K+-ATPase with two rubidium ions bound (as potassium congeners) in an occluded state in the transmembrane part of the α-subunit is presented.

Structural changes in the calcium pump accompanying the dissociation of calcium

TL;DR: The structure of the enzyme stabilized by thapsigargin, a potent inhibitor, shows large conformation differences from that in E1Ca2+.

PLANT PLASMA MEMBRANE H+-ATPases: Powerhouses for Nutrient Uptake.

TL;DR: The elucidation of the three-dimensional structure of a related Ca2+ pump has implications for understanding of structure-function relationships for the plant plasma membrane H+-ATPase.

Further investigations on a Mg++ + Na+-activated adenosintriphosphatase, possibly related to the active, linked transport of Na+ and K+ across the nerve membrane

TL;DR: The observations lend further support to the suggestion made previously that this enzyme is involved in the active, linked transport of Na+ and K+ across the nerve membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI

Flexibility of an active center in sodium-plus-potassium adenosine triphosphatase.

TL;DR: There is a conformational change in the active center for phosphorylation during the normal reaction sequence and this change may be linked to one required theoretically for active translocation of ions across the cell membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI

A phosphorylated intermediate in adenosine triphosphate-dependent sodium and potassium transport across kidney membranes.

TL;DR: On the basis of tracer exchange experiments with (Na+ + K+)-ATPase in crab nerve, Skou proposed an enzyme-high energy phosphate inter- mediate, E - P, consistent with reciprocal competitive inhibitory effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Binding of Adenosine Triphosphate to Sodium and Potassium Ion-stimulated Adenosine Triphosphatase

TL;DR: Binding was stable between pH 5.6 and 7.6, but declined sharply above pH 8.0, and in the presence of potassium ion alone, there appeared to be one or more binding sites on this enzyme with a much lower affinity for adenosine triphosphate.
