Abstract
Ouabain binding was studied in Xenopus laevis oocytes permeabilized by detergents. The behaviour of markers showed that 10 microM-digitonin selectively disrupts the plasma membrane. In the presence of ATP, oocytes permeabilized at 10 microM-digitonin bound no more ouabain molecules than were required to abolish active 86Rb+ uptake in the intact cells. However, the ouabain binding capacity increased approx. 2-fold when inner membranes were disrupted by SDS or excess digitonin, as judged from the accompanying release of the lysosomal marker beta-hexosaminidase. The results suggest that oocytes have a large internal pool of functional sodium pumps.
