The Na,K-ATPase activity of the sodium pump exhibits apparent multisit
e kinetics toward ATP, a feature that is inherent to the minimal enzym
e unit, the alpha beta protomer. We have argued that this should arise
from separate catalytic and noncatalytic sites on the alpha beta prot
omer as fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) blocks a high affinity ATP s
ite on all alpha subunits and yet the modified Na,K-ATPase retains a l
ow affinity response to nucleotides (Ward, D. G., and Cavieres, J. D.
(1996) J. Biol, Chem. 271, 12317-12321), We now find that 2'(3')-O-(2,
4,6-trinitrophenyl)8-azido-adenosine 5'-diphosphate (TNP-8N(3)-ADP), a
high affinity photoactivatable analogue of ATP, can inhibit the K+-ph
osphatase activity of the FITC-modified enzyme during assays in dimmed
light. The inhibition occurs with a K-i of 140 mu M at 20 mM K+; it r
equires the adenine ring as 2'(3')-O-(2,4 B-trinitrophenyl) (TNP)-UDP
or TNP-uridine are less potent and 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene-sulfonate is
ineffective. Under irradiation with UV light, TNP-8N(3)-ADP inactivate
s the K+-phosphatase activity of the fluorescein-enzyme and also its p
hosphorylation by [P-32]P-i. The photoinactivation process is stimulat
ed by Na+ or Mg2+, and is inhibited by K+ or excess TNP-ADP. In the pr
esence of 50 mM Na+ and 1 mM Mg2+, TNP-8N(3)-ADP photoinactivates with
a K-0.5 of 15 mu M. Furthermore, TNP-8N(3)-ADP photoinactivates the F
ITC-modified, solubilized alpha beta protomers, even more effectively
than the membrane-bound fluorescein-enzyme, These results strongly sug
gest that catalytic and allosteric ATP sites coexist on the alpha beta
protomer of Na,K-ATPase.
