Conformational transitions in fluorescein-labeled (Na,K)ATPase reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles

A Rephaeli, D Richards and SJ Karlish

Fluorescein-labeled (Na,K)ATPase reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles has been used to study conformational transitions. Addition of K+ or Na+ to the vesicle medium induces fluorescence changes characteristic of the E2(K) or E1Na states of fluorescein-labeled (Na,K)ATPase (Karlish, S.J.D. (1980) J. Bioenerg. Biomembr. 12, 111- 136). The cation effects are exerted from the cytoplasmic surface of inside-out-oriented pumps. Equilibrium cation titrations and measurements of rates of conformational transitions have led to the following observations. 1) The rate of E2(K)----E1Na or E2(T1)----E1Na is 4-6-fold faster and E1K----E2(K) is about 2-fold slower in vesicles compared to enzyme. In equilibrium titrations the K0.5 for K+ is higher and that for Na+ is lower for vesicles compared to enzyme. The conformational equilibrium E(1)2K----E2(2K) is apparently shifted toward E(1)2K in vesicles compared to enzyme. 2) Diffusion potentials, positive-outside, induced with valinomycin or Li+ ionophore AS701, do not affect the rates of E2(T1)----E1Na or E1K----E2(K), or equilibrium cation titrations. This demonstrates that the conformational transitions E(1)2K----E2(2K) are voltage-insensitive steps, confirming a prediction based on transport experiments. 3) In vesicles containing choline, K+, Na+, or Li+, the rate of E2(T1)----E1Na increases in the order given. Vesicles with reconstituted fluorescein-labeled (Na,K)ATPase provide a convenient system for correlating directly properties of conformational transitions with cation transport.
