Abstract
The effect of lipid peroxidation on the affinity of specific active sites of Na+, K+-ATPase for ATP (substrate), K+ and Na+ (activators), and strophanthidin (a specific inhibitor) was investigated. Brain cell membranes were peroxidized in vitro in the presence of 100μM ascorbate and 25μM FeCl2 at 37°C for time intervals from 0–20 min. The level of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and the activity of Na+, K+-ATPase were determined. The enzyme activity decreased by 80% in the first min. from 42.0±3.8 to 8.8±0.9 μmol Pi/mg protein/hr and remained unchanged thereafter. Lipid peroxidation products increased to a steady state level from 0.2±0.1 to 16.5 ±1.5 nmol malonaldehyde/mg protein by 3 min. In peroxidized membranes, the affinity for ATP and strophanthidin was increased (two and seven fold, respectively), whereas affinity for K+ and Na+ was decreased (to one tenth and one seventh of control values, respectively). Changes in the affinity of active sites will affect the phosphorylation and dephosphorylation mechanisms of Na+, K+-ATPase reaction. The increased affinity for ATP favors the phosphorylation of the enzyme at low ATP concentrations whereas, the decreased affinity for K+ will not favor the dephosphorylation of the enzyme-P complex resulting in unavailability of energy for transmembrane transport processes. The results demonstrate that lipid peroxidation alters Na+, K+-ATPase function by modification at specific active sites in a selective manner, rather than through a non-specific destructive process.
