Abstract
Two low molecular mass proteins (13 kDa which inhibits Na+,K(+)-ATPase and 12 kDa which modulates Ca2+, Mg(2+)- and Ca(2+)-ATPases), purified from rat brain cytosol form complexes with chlorpromazine (CPZ) on incubation. The conformational characteristics of the proteins and their complex have been studied by comparing the fluorescence and CD spectra. The tryptophan fluorescence data show that the inhibitor-CPZ complex does not quench the fluorescence of NA+,K(+)-ATPase significantly. CD spectra indicate that the structure of the inhibitor is changed on formation of the complex. The inhibitor-CPZ complex significantly changes the conformation of Na+,K(+)-ATPase. The regulator protein-CPZ complex does not have any appreciable effect on Ca2+, Mg(2+)- and Ca(2+)-ATPase activities. The Trp-fluorescence of Ca2+,Mg(2+)- and Ca(2+)-ATPase are not significantly affected in presence of the complex. CD spectra indicate that the structure of the regulator is abruptly affected on formation of the complex. The conformations of Ca2+,Mg(2+)- and Ca(2+)-ATPases are found to be altered in presence of the complex.
