pubmed:abstractText
(1) Ethylenediamine is an inhibitor of Na+- and K+-activated processes of Na+/K+-ATPase, i.e. the overall Na+/K+-ATPase activity, Na+-activated ATPase and K+-activated phosphatase activity, the Na+-activated phosphorylation and the Na+-free (amino-buffer associated) phosphorylation. (2) The I50 values (I50 is the concentration of inhibitor that half-maximally inhibits) increase with the concentration of the activating cations and the half-maximally activating cation concentrations (Km values) increase with the inhibitor concentration. (3) Ethylenediamine is competitive with Na+ in Na+-activated phosphorylation and with the amino-buffer (triallylamine) in Na+-free phosphorylation. Significant, though probably indirect, effects can also be noted on the affinity for Mg2+ and ATP, but these cannot account for the inhibition. (4) Inhibition parallels the dual protonated or positively charged ethylenediamine concentration (charge distance 3.7 A). (5) Direct investigation of interaction with activating cations (Na+, K+, Mg+, triallylamine) has been made via binding studies. All these cations drive ethylenediamine from the enzyme, but K+ and Mg+ with the highest efficiency and specificity. Ethylenediamine binding is ouabain-insensitive, however. (6) Ethylenediamine neither inhibits the transition to the phosphorylation enzyme conformation, nor does it affect the rate of dephosphorylation. Hence, we provisionally conclude that ethylenediamine inhibits the phosphoryl transfer between the ATP binding and phosphorylation site through occupation of cation activation sites, which are 3-4 A apart.
