Abstract excerpt
P-type ATPases of the IIC subfamily exhibit large differences in sensitivity toward ouabain. This allows a strategy in which ouabain-insensitive members of this subfamily are used as template for mutational elucidation of the ouabain-binding site. With this strategy, we recently identified seven amino acids in Na,K-ATPase that conferred high affinity ouabain binding to gastric H,K-ATPase (Qiu, L. Y., Krieger, E.,...
