[Mechanism of activation of Na,K-ATPase in nerve fibers during rhythmic excitation].

The activation mechanism of Na,K-ATPase in nerve fibres after rhythmic excitation was studied. 3H-ouabain binding to a nerve was found to depend on the frequency of rhythmic excitation. The maximum of 3H-ouabain binding to a nerve crab was at 10 imp/sec. Rhythmic excitation was found not to change Na,K-ATPase affinity to ouabain, but appeared to increase the concentration of ouabain-sensitive sites in the nerve membrane. Transformation of inactive forms of the enzyme into active ones was supposed to be a possible cause of greater 3H-ouabain binding to the nerve during rhythmic exitation.

[Proton transport during nerve stimulation].

A decrease of external pH during rhythmic excitation of the nerve of frog and squid was investigated. The level of pH was dependent on frequency excitation, concentration of sodium potassium and hydrogen ions was changed after ouabain, 2,4-dinitrophenol, tetraethylammonium and tetrodotoxin effect. The mechanism of proton transport was discussed in relation to Na-channel function.
