1. Monitoring protein conformations of purified (Na++ K+)-ATPase with intrinsic fluorescence we have examined if altered conformational responses accompany the defective catalytic and transport processes in selectively modified ‘invalid’(Na++ K+)-ATPase which is obtained by graded tryptic digestion of the Na+ form of the protein. 2. 2. The protein fluorescence intensity of the K+ form (E 2 K) of both control and invalid (Na++ K+)-ATPase is 2–3% higher than that of the Na+ form (E 1 Na). By varying the NaCl concentration we found evidence for different fluorescence intensities of the two phosphoenzymes; E 2 P has the same fluorescence intensity as E 2 K and the intensity of E 1 P is similar to that of E 1 Na. The fraction of phosphoenzyme present as E 2 P can therefore be determined as the amplitude of the fluorescence change accompanying phosphorylation in the absence of K+ divided by the amplitude of the full response to K+. 3. 3. Titration of the fluorescence responses of the invalid (Na++ K+)-ATPase shows that the tryptic split alters the poise of the equilibria between the cation-bound conformations, E 1 Na and E 2 K, and between the phosphoforms, E 1 P and E 2 P, in the direction of the E 1 forms. 4. 4. Vanadate binds to the Mg 2+-bound form of E 2 K and prevents further changes in fluorescence intensity of the protein. The conformative responses of invalid (Na++ K+)-ATPase are insensitive to vanadate in agreement with the reduced vanadate binding affinity of this enzyme. 5. 5. The defective conformative response of the invalid (Na++ K+)-ATPase in relation to its catalytic defects, reduced Na+ transport, and insensitivity to vanadate suggest that the transitions between Na+ forms (E 1) and K+ forms (E 2) of the protein are coupled to the catalytic and transport reactions of the (Na++ K+)-pump.
