[Prostaglandin E2 as a lipophilic allosteric modulator of the Na pump]. 1985

E I Karel'son, and M K Tsil'mer, and L Ia Tiakhepyl'd

Curves of inhibition of rat brain Na, K-ATPase and K-pNPPase by prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) showed a sigmoidal shape with nH for PGE2 of 1.4 +/- 0.1 and 1.3 +/- 0.1, respectively. The desensitization of the enzymes with 0.25 M urea (4 degrees, 15 min) caused a loss of their cooperative interaction with PGE2. 2.0 mM PGE2 shifts the temperature break in the Arrhenius plots for the ATPase from 19.8 degrees to 23 degrees and simultaneously increased the Ea below the break by 9.5 kcal/mol. After treatment of the ATPase with phospholipase A2 PGE2 showed no cooperative interaction with the enzyme. Modulation of membrane enzymes by means of the surrounding lipid phasic state appears to be the general mechanism of their indirect allosteric regulation.

D010741	Phospholipases A	Phospholipases that hydrolyze one of the acyl groups of phosphoglycerides or glycerophosphatidates.
D011458	Prostaglandins E	(11 alpha,13E,15S)-11,15-Dihydroxy-9-oxoprost-13-en-1-oic acid (PGE(1)); (5Z,11 alpha,13E,15S)-11,15-dihydroxy-9-oxoprosta-5,13-dien-1-oic acid (PGE(2)); and (5Z,11 alpha,13E,15S,17Z)-11,15-dihydroxy-9-oxoprosta-5,13,17-trien-1-oic acid (PGE(3)). Three of the six naturally occurring prostaglandins. They are considered primary in that no one is derived from another in living organisms. Originally isolated from sheep seminal fluid and vesicles, they are found in many organs and tissues and play a major role in mediating various physiological activities.	PGE
D001921	Brain	The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM.	Encephalon
D004347	Drug Interactions	The action of a drug that may affect the activity, metabolism, or toxicity of another drug.	Drug Interaction,Interaction, Drug,Interactions, Drug
D000254	Sodium-Potassium-Exchanging ATPase	An enzyme that catalyzes the active transport system of sodium and potassium ions across the cell wall. Sodium and potassium ions are closely coupled with membrane ATPase which undergoes phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, thereby providing energy for transport of these ions against concentration gradients.

D000494	Allosteric Regulation	The modification of the reactivity of ENZYMES by the binding of effectors to sites (ALLOSTERIC SITES) on the enzymes other than the substrate BINDING SITES.	Regulation, Allosteric,Allosteric Regulations,Regulations, Allosteric
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001667	Binding, Competitive	The interaction of two or more substrates or ligands with the same binding site. The displacement of one by the other is used in quantitative and selective affinity measurements.	Competitive Binding
