| Abstract | The cardiac glycoside ouabain inhibits Na,K-ATPase by binding to the alpha subunit. In a highly ouabain resistant clone from the MDCK cell line, we have found two alleles of the alpha subunit in which the cysteine, present in the wild-type first transmembrane segment, is replaced by a tyrosine (Y) or a phenylalanine (F). We have studied the kinetics of ouabain inhibition by measuring the current generated by the Na,K-pump in Xenopus oocytes injected with wild-type and mutated alpha 1 and wild-type beta 1 subunit cRNAs. When these mutations, alpha 1C113Y and alpha 1C113F [according to the published sequence [Verrey et al. (1989) Am. J. Physiol., 256, F1034] were introduced in the alpha 1 subunit of the Na,K-ATPase from Xenopus laevis, the inhibition constant (Ki) of ouabain increased greater than 1000-fold compared with wild-type. A more conservative mutation, serine alpha 1C113S did not change the Ki. We observed that the decreased affinity for ouabain was mainly due to a faster dissociation, but probably also to a slower association. Thus we propose that an amino acid residue of the first transmembrane segment located deep in the plasma membrane participates in the structure and the function of the ouabain binding site. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
