There is much prior evidence that K+ in high concentrations acts as an inhibitor of Na, K-ATpase activity through a shift in the apparent affinity of Na, K-ATpase for Na+(KNa). Because cytoplasmic K+ is generally high, this is important for understanding pump properties in physiological conditions. Differences in sensitivity to K+ contribute to tissue-specific (and isoform-independent) differences in apparent Na+ affinity1 and to the effect of the γ subunit on Na, K-ATpase properties. 2, 3 Much prior evidence shows a linear relationship between KNa and [K+], consistent with a simple kinetic model for Na+-K+ competition. While investigating the roles of γ in NRK-52E cells, however, we observed that KNa did not relate linearly to [K+], with or without γ. Differences in ligand concentrations compared to the literature were a possible reason for the discrepancy. This was investigated with purified rat kidney Na, K-ATpase.Na, K-ATpase activity was measured as a function of Na+ concentration in the presence of different concentrations of K+. Ionic strength was kept constant by addition of choline when specified. The experiments were repeated, varying the concentrations of free Mg2+ and ATp and the kind of buffer used. Confirming previous reports, elevated K+ decreased KNa in all conditions. The data approximated a linear relationship between KNa and [K+] only in conditions of 4 mM Mg2+, 1 mM ATp with 1 mM free Mg2+, but not with 3 mM Mg2+, 3 mM ATp with< 0.5 mM free Mg2+. Furthermore, we observed effects of [K+] on Vmax and on the degree of cooperativity for Na+. These observations suggest that the K+ effect on Na+ activation is not a pure competitive effect. Models producing expressions for activity as a function of Na+ and K+ concentration were fitted to the whole set of data using twovariable regression, also not supporting simple competition. See FIGURE 1. The following conclusions can be drawn:(a) Addition of choline to keep constant ionic strength affected the values of KNa, but still produced nonlinear plots of KNa
