Capsazepine, a synthetic vanilloid that converts the Na,K-ATPase to Na-ATPase.

ABSTRACT: Capsazepine (CPZ), a synthetic capsaicin analogue, inhibits ATP hydrolysis by Na,K-ATPase in the presence but not in the absence of K(+). Studies with purified membranes revealed that CPZ reduced Na(+)-dependent phosphorylation by interference with Na(+) binding from the intracellular side of the membrane. Kinetic analyses showed that CPZ stabilized an enzyme species that constitutively occluded K(+). Low-affinity ATP interaction with the enzyme was strongly reduced after CPZ treatment; in contrast, indirectly measured interaction with ADP was much increased, which suggests that composite regulatory communication with nucleotides takes place during turnover. Studies with lipid vesicles revealed that CPZ reduced ATP-dependent digitoxigenin-sensitive (22)Na(+) influx into K(+)-loaded vesicles only at saturating ATP concentrations. The drug apparently abolishes the regulatory effect of ATP on the pump. Drawing on previous homology modeling studies of Na,K-ATPase to atomic models of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase and on kinetic data, we propose that CPZ uncouples an Na(+) cycle from an Na(+)/K(+) cycle in the pump. The Na(+) cycle possibly involves transport through the recently characterized Na(+)-specific site. A shift to such an uncoupled mode is believed to produce pumps mediating uncoupled Na(+) efflux by modifying the transport stoichiometry of single pump units.

Project description:The whole-cell voltage-clamp technique was used in rat cardiac myocytes to investigate the kinetics of ADP binding to phosphorylated states of Na,K-ATPase and its effects on presteady-state Na(+)-dependent charge movements by this enzyme. Ouabain-sensitive transient currents generated by Na,K-ATPase functioning in electroneutral Na(+)-Na(+) exchange mode were measured at 23 degrees C with pipette ADP concentrations ([ADP]) of up to 4.3 mM and extracellular Na(+) concentrations ([Na](o)) between 36 and 145 mM at membrane potentials (V(M)) from -160 to +80 mV. Analysis of charge-V(M) curves showed that the midpoint potential of charge distribution was shifted toward more positive V(M) both by increasing [ADP] at constant Na(+)(o) and by increasing [Na](o) at constant ADP. The total quantity of mobile charge, on the other hand, was found to be independent of changes in [ADP] or [Na](o). The presence of ADP increased the apparent rate constant for current relaxation at hyperpolarizing V(M) but decreased it at depolarizing V(M) as compared to control (no added ADP), an indication that ADP binding facilitates backward reaction steps during Na(+)-Na(+) exchange while slowing forward reactions. Data analysis using a pseudo three-state model yielded an apparent K(d) of approximately 6 mM for ADP binding to and release from the Na,K-ATPase phosphoenzyme; a value of 130 s(-1) for k(2), a rate constant that groups Na(+) deocclusion/release and the enzyme conformational transition E(1) approximately P --> E(2)-P; a value of 162 s(-1)M(-1) for k(-2), a lumped second-order V(M)-independent rate constant describing the reverse reactions; and a Hill coefficient of approximately 1 for Na(+)(o) binding to E(2)-P. The results are consistent with electroneutral release of ADP before Na(+) is deoccluded and released through an ion well. The same approach can be used to study additional charge-moving reactions and associated electrically silent steps of the Na,K-pump and other transporters.
