Figure 1. Reaction cycle of gastric H,K-ATPase.(A) Reaction mechanism of gastric H,K-ATPase adapted from the Post-Albers scheme [1], [2], which had originally been postulated for the related Na,K-ATPase. Upon intracellular binding of protons to the E1 conformation (step 1), a phosphointermediate with occluded H+ ions (E1P(H+)) is formed (step 2), and after a conformational change to E2P (step 3), protons dissociate to the extracellular space (step 4). Subsequently, K+ ions bind from the extracellular side (step 5) and become occluded, a process which stimulates dephosphorylation (step 6), and after a conformational change from E2 to E1 (step 7) the K+ ions are intracellularly released (step 8). The gray box indicates the reaction sequence which can be studied by voltage pulses at [K+]extâ=â0 in VCF experiments. (B) Pseudo three-state model for the reaction sequence including steps 1 to 4 in (A). A detailed description and analysis of this kinetic scheme is provided in Supporting Information (Appendix S2).
