摘要

The molecular events leading to neuronal dysfunction often associated with mercury toxidty can be complex and is yet to be fully elucidated. Hence, the present study sought to evaluate the interaction of inorganic mercury (Hg~(2+)) with the ouabain-sensitive electrogenic pump in partially purified mammalian brain membrane preparations. The results show that Hg~(2+) significantly inhibited the transmembrane enzyme in a concentration dependent manner. In addition, Hg~(2+) exerts its inhibitory effect on the activity of the enzyme by interacting with groups at the adenosine triphosphate (ATP), Na~+ and 10" binding sites. However, preincubation of the enzyme with exogenous monothiols, cysteine, prevented the inhibition of Hg~(2+) on the pump's activity suggesting that Hg~(2+) may be interacting with the thiols at the nucleotide (ATP) and cationic (Na~+ and K~+) binding sites. In fact, our data show that Hg~(2+) oxidizes sulphydryl groups in cysteine in a time dependent fashion in vitro. Finally, we speculate that the small molecular volume of Hg~(2+) in comparison with the substrates (ATP, Na~+ and K~+) of sodium pump, its possibly high reactivity and strong affinity for thiols may account for its high toxicity towards the membrane bound ouabain-sensitive electrogenic pump.
