Abstract: | Monoclonal antibodies against horse kidney outer medulla (Na+ + K+)-ATPase were prepared. One of these antibodies (M45-80), was identified as an IgM, recognized the alpha subunit of the enzyme. M45-80 had the following effects on horse kidney (Na+ + K+)-ATPase: (1) it inhibited the enzyme activity by 50% in 140 mM Na+ and by 80% in 8.3 mM Na+; (2) it increased the Na+ concentration necessary for half-maximal activation (K0.5 for Na+) from 12.0 to 57.6 mM, but did not affect K0.5 for K+; (3) it slightly increased the K+-dependent p-nitrophenylphosphatase (K-pNPPase) activity; (4) it inhibited phosphorylation of the enzyme with ATP by 30%, but did not affect the step of dephosphorylation; and (5) it enhanced the ouabain binding rate. These data are compatible with a stabilizing effect on the E2 form of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. M45-80 was concluded to bind to the extracellular surface of the plasmamembrane, based on the following evidence: (1) M45-80 inhibited by 50% the ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+ uptake in human intact erythrocytes from outside of the cells; (2) the inhibition of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity in right-side-out vesicles of human erythrocytes was greater than that in inside-out vesicles; and (3) the fluorescence intensity due to FITC-labeled rabbit anti-mouse IgM that reacted with M45-80 bound to the right-side-out vesicles was much greater than that in the case of the inside-out vesicles. |
