(1) The impermeant polyanion suramin inhibits the (Na+-K+)-activated ATPase in broken membrane preparations. Suramin does not affect Na+ or K+ transport in intact red cells or resealed red cell ghosts when present in the incubation medium, but appears to inhibit the Na+ pump in ghosts resealed with suramin inside. Other ATP-requiring enzymes are also inhibited by suramin with similar potency (50% inhibition at 10− 5-10− 4 M) suggesting an interaction with the substrate site of the enzyme. 2.(2) K+-activated p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity and [3 H] ouabain binding are also inhibited by suramin. 3.(3) The inhibition by suramin is reversed by washing the membranes. 4.(4) It is concluded that suramin inhibits the Na+-K+ transport system through interactions with the intracellular part of the pump. 5.(5) The potential usefulness of suramin as a pump inhibitor and the possibility of modifying its structure to yield fluorescent derivatives are discussed.
