Treatment of purified preparations of porcine Na +,K +-ATPase with phospholipase A 2, MgCl 2and NaVO 3leads to the formation of two-dimensional crystals exclusively in a dimeric configuration. Two-dimensional computer-averaged projections of the electron microscopy images of the crystalline enzyme with bound F abfragments of monoclonal antibody M10-P5-C11 were accomplished using image enhancement software and showed that the antibody fragments caused only a modest increase in the unit cell size, while reducing the extent of asymmetry of the two promoters in each unit cell. The digital imaging also showed that the antibody's epitope on the α subunit resides on the ‘lobe’ or ‘hook’ region of the intracellular portion of the enzyme. Since functional studies indicate that M10-P5-C11 binds near or between the ATP binding site and the phosphorylation site, this visualized ‘lobe’ region of α may comprise the catalytic site. In addition, the binding of another inhibitory antibody, 9-A5, has been found to prevent crystal formation and the presence of the carbohydrate sugars on the enzyme's β subunit shown to be required for crystal formation. |
