Na(+)-K+ pumps of red blood cells from sheep of the low-K+ (LK) phenotype undergo differentiation during circulation, manifested in part by a striking increase in sensitivity to inhibition by intracellular K+ (Ki). Pumps of red blood cells from sheep from the allelic phenotype, high K+ (HK), do not undergo this type of maturation. The hypothesis was tested that the Lp antigen, found on LK but not HK cells, is responsible for the maturation of LK pumps. Lp antigens have been shown to inhibit LK pumps because anti-Lp antibody stimulates the pumps by relieving inhibition by the antigen. Lp antigens were recently shown to be molecular entities separate from Na(+)-K+ pumps [Xu, Z.-C., P. Dunham, J. Munzer, J. Silvius, and R. Blostein. Am. J. Physiol. 263 (Cell Physiol. 32): C1007-C1014, 1992]. The test of the hypothesis was to modify the Lp antigens of immature LK red blood cells with two kinds of treatments, anti-Lp antibody and trypsinization (which cleaves Lp), and to observe the effects of these treatments on maturation of pumps during culture of the cells in vitro. Both of these treatments prevented the maturation of the kinetics of the pumps to the Ki-sensitive pattern, supporting the hypothesis that interaction of the pumps with Lp antigens is responsible for the maturation of the pumps. Strong supportive evidence came from experiments on Na(+)-K+ pumps from rat kidney delivered into immature LK sheep red blood cells by microsome fusion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
