Conduction of Na+ and K+ through the NaK channel: molecular and Brownian dynamics studies.
Conduction of ions through the NaK channel, with M0 helix removed, was studied using both Brownian dynamics and molecular dynamics. Brownian dynamics simulations predict that the truncated NaK has approximately a third of the conductance of the related KcsA K+ channel, is outwardly rectifying, and has a Michaelis-Menten current-concentration relationship. Current magnitude increases when the gl...
متن کاملLead ion activates phosphorylation of electroplax Na+- and K+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase ((NaK)-ATPase) in the absence of sodium ion.
PbCl, in micromolar concentrations stimulates phosphorylation of electroplax microsomal protein in the absence of Nat. Other divalent cations showed little or no such effect. The (Mg’+ + Pb’+)and (Mg”+ + Na+)-dependent membrane-bound protein kinase activities in electroplax particulate preparations exhibit properties in common, including their acid stability, ouabain sensitivity, ATP specificit...
متن کاملK+-conducting ion channel of the chloroplast inner envelope: functional reconstitution into liposomes.
Potassium flux between the chloroplast stroma and cytoplasm is known to be indirectly linked to H+ countertransport and, hence, stromal pH and photosynthetic capacity. The specific molecular mechanism that facilitates K+ flux across the chloroplast envelope is not known and has been a source of controversy for well over a decade. The objective of this study was to elucidate the nature of this e...
متن کاملNa+ Channel β Subunits: Overachievers of the Ion Channel Family
Voltage-gated Na(+) channels (VGSCs) in mammals contain a pore-forming α subunit and one or more β subunits. There are five mammalian β subunits in total: β1, β1B, β2, β3, and β4, encoded by four genes: SCN1B-SCN4B. With the exception of the SCN1B splice variant, β1B, the β subunits are type I topology transmembrane proteins. In contrast, β1B lacks a transmembrane domain and is a secreted prote...
متن کاملIon-gated channel induced in planar bilayers by incorporation of (Na+,K+)-ATPase.
An ion-gated channel was conferred on a planar lipid bilayer membrane upon incorporation of (Na+,K+)-ATPase. The channel exhibited two conductance states. The high conductance state was only observed when an ion gradient was present across the planar membrane. This state corresponded to an enzyme conformation which was ouabain and vanadate sensitive (i.e. conductance was inhibited by these comp...
