Abstract

As a facet of our investigation of the role of adenosine-3′,5′-monophosphate in the mechanism of action of antidiuretic hormone we have explored the possibility of an interaction between kidney cell membrane and certain phosphate-transferring enzymes. This communication is concerned with evidence for a membrane-enzyme interaction as derived from optical density studies, enzyme activation and inhibition effects, and optical rotatory dispersion data. We have found that phosphoglucomutase, phosphorylase, and pyruvic kinase appear to interact with kidney cell membrane. These enzymes are unique with respect to those studied in requiring a substrate which bears a phosphorylated carbonyl moiety.
