Abstract excerpt
A series of six different mutants (D804A, D804E, D804G, D804N, D804Q, and D804S) of aspartate 804 present in transmembrane segment 6 of the rat Na(+),K(+)-ATPase alpha(1)-subunit were prepared and expressed in Sf9 cells by use of the baculovirus expression system. In contrast to the wild-type enzyme all mutants except D804Q showed a very high Na(+)-ATPase activity, which was hardly further stimulated by the...
