Abstract

The kinetics of hydrolysis of ATP were determined for the renal Na,K-ATPase, in the K + conformation, modified with glucose-6-phosphate. There was a shift in the ATP hydrolysis kinetics from negative kinetic co-operativity for the control enzyme preparations to substrate inhibition kinetics for the modified enzyme preparations. The effect was reversible and stabilized after NaBH 4 reduction. Approximately 4 moles of glucose-6-phosphate were incorporated per mole of Na,K-ATPase (based on MW of 150,000 daltons). Similar substrate inhibition kinetics were observed for the renal Na,K-ATPase isolated from several human subjects with mature onset diabetes.
