[Characteristics of temperature dependence of Na,K-ATPase]
Abstract:
The character of temperature dependence of hydrolytic and transport functions of Na, K-ATPase is analyzed. It is shown that the nonlinear Arrhenius plot is typical only of "allosteric" substrates ATP and CTP, the inflection of curves reflecting sensitivity of the enzyme to the phase reconstructions of membrane lipids. The linear Arrhenius plots are typical of GTP, UTP- p-NPP and acetyl phosphate, the substrates demonstrating "normal" kinetics of Michaelis and not providing the active transport of ions. A conclusion is drawn that anomalies on the Na, K-ATPase temperature dependence evidence for the lipid control of intersubunit interactions in the supermolecular complex of Na, K-ATPase which are realized during the active transport of ions.

ATP Driven Pumps II: P-type Pumps
A typical P-type pump has three cytosolic domains: nucleotide-binding (N), phosphorylation (P), and activator (A) domains. These domains are connected to the membrane-spanning helices by short amino acid segments. ATP hydrolysis and covalent phosphoenzyme intermediate formation are crucial parts of the catalytic cycle. At the highly...
