Structure of (Na+,K+)-ATPase as revealed by electron microscopy and image processing.

Abstract: (Na',K')-ATPase was studied by electron microscopy and image processing of negatively stained and freeze-dried and shadowed crystalline sheets induced by a number of inorganic salts . Extensive experiments have identified new conditions for optimum crystal formation . Two crystal forms have been observed, one with a monomer and the other with a dimer, in the unit cell. Both show the same structure for the enzyme monomer. The enzyme can also be crystallized after partial proteolysis of its alpha subunit by tryp… Show more

“…However, since the shadowing does not give detail of the molecular shape, we cannot yet tell whether these orderly arrangements are truly monomeric (i.e., with all units facing in one direction), or are distorted dimeric arrangements (i.e., with paired units facing each other). The Na,K ATPase also forms a third pattern, interpreted as dimeric, which has unit cell dimensions of 5.5 x 16.1 nm (Mohraz and Smith, 1984). A comparable arrangement has not been described in Ca ATPase, but we have found two orderly areas with 13 and 15 nm spacings between rows.…”

“…This is close enough to the 5.6 nm of the crystallized g-fl monomer of E2-(H+,K+)-ATPase [9]. Moreover, the shadow shape looks similar to the heartshaped image of an ATPase monomer crystallized in a membrane bilayer [6]. (table III)) are shorter than the crystallized ¢¢2"fl2 width (a = 16.1 nm) [6].…”

“…The intracellular face protrudes -50 A from the bilayer and contains ATP binding sites (7,25) and functional sulfhydryls significantly removed from the bilayer by ~30-40 A (16). These structural studies and others (18,26) suggest that the a subunit has a sufficiently large cytoplasmic domain to permit it to interact directly with cytosolic proteins. Such interaction could possibly be important in maintaining its distribution in the plasma membrane (1).…”
