What is Differences in phosphorylation of the two large subunits of brine shrimp Na, K-ATPase about?

Analysis of purified Na,K-ATPase from brine shrimp nauplii revealed two molecular forms of the alpha subunit separable by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis [G.L. Peterson, R.D. Ewing, S.R. Hootman, and F.P. Conte (1978) J. Biol. Chem. 253:4762]. The molecular form with lower mobility is designated alpha 1 and the one with higher mobility, alpha 2, in a neutral or alkaline gel system. Differences in Na+-dependent, K+-sensitive phosphorylation of these two molecular forms have been investigated by directly measuring the radioactivity present in each phosphoprotein after separation of the two forms by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In the presence of Na+,Mg2+, and ATP, when the ATP concentration is above 1 microM, both alpha subunits are phosphorylated, although the phosphoprotein content of alpha 1 is considerably greater than that of alpha 2. Below 1 microM ATP, the phosphoprotein content of alpha 2 is even further reduced. These striking differences in phosphorylation at low ATP concentrations are not due to a greater instability of the alpha 2 phosphoprotein during the long electrophoresis times or during fixation, staining, and
