N2 - This chapter discusses the involvement of calmodulin in the inhibition of Na,K-ATPase by ouabain. The sensitivity to ouabain of the membrane-bound Na,K-ATPase from murine plasmocytoma cells is altered by addition of Ca2+, plus membrane proteins or tropomyosin. Membranes treated with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) (IC50 for ouabain Ca. 0.4–0.7 μM) recover the original resistance (IC50: 120 ± 20 μM). The Na,K-ATPase in the L fraction was half maximally inhibited by 1.5 ± 0.2 μM ouabain. After addition of tropomyosin (Tm) and Ca2+, the IC50 increased to 120 ± 20 μM. This shift was dependent upon the Tm and the free Ca2+ concentrations. At saturating (Ca2+), with 1 mg of L fraction, 330 pmoles Tm were required to shift 100% of ouabain-sensitive Na,K-ATPase form to the less sensitive form. To study the effect of free (Ca2+) on the alteration of sensitivity, the ratio of Tm to membrane protein is kept constant (330 pmole/mg). The chapter presents graphical representation of the dose-response curve of Na,K-ATPase activity versus ouabain concentration.
