We have examined the effect of second messengers on ATP-driven H+ transport in an H+ ATPase-bearing endosomal fraction isolated from rabbit renal cortex. cAMP (0.1 mM) had no effect on H+ transport. Acridine orange fluorescence in the presence of 0.5 mM Ca2+ (+1 mM EGTA) was 19 +/- 6% of control. Inhibition of ATP-driven H+ transport by Ca2+ was concentration dependent; 0.25 and 0.5 mM Ca2+ (+1 mM EGTA) inhibited acridine orange fluorescence by approximately 50 and approximately 80%, respectively. Ca2+ also produced a concentration-dependent increase in the rate of pH-gradient dissipation. Ca2+ did not affect ATP hydrolysis. ATP-dependent Br- uptake was virtually unchanged in the presence of 0.5 mM Ca2+ (+1 mM EGTA). These vesicles were also shown to transport Ca2+ in an ATP-dependent mode. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate had no effect on ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake. These results are consistent with the co-existence of an H+ ATPase and an H+/Ca2+ exchanger on these endosomes, the latter transport system using the H+ gradient to energize Ca2+ uptake. Attempts to demonstrate an H+/Ca2+ antiporter in the absence of ATP have been unsuccessful. Yet, when a pH gradient was established by preincubation with ATP and residual ATP was subsequently removed by hexokinase + glucose, stimulation of Ca2+ uptake could be demonstrated. A Ca2(+)-dependent increase in H+ permeability and an ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake might have important implications for the regulation of vacuolar H+ ATPase activity as well as the homeostasis of cytosolic Ca2+ concentration.

Distal bright convoluted tubules (DCTb) were microdissected from rabbit kidney cortex and cultured in a hormonally defined medium. The quality and the degree of polarization of the growing epithelia were assessed by indirect immunofluorescence studies using a monoclonal antibody raised against the apical membrane of the DCTb in situ. The cultured monolayers had a high hexokinase activity and a low gamma-glutamyl transferase activity compared with cultured proximal convoluted tubules. Adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate production was stimulated by calcitonin and insensitive to parathyroid hormone, vasopressin, and isoproterenol. Both 20- and 30-day-old cultures developed an apical-negative transepithelial potential of -3.1 and -22.3 mV, respectively. Amiloride reversibly reduced the voltage by 90% only when applied on the apical side of the monolayers. Phenamil (10(-8), 10(-6) M) had the same effect as amiloride. Calcitonin reversibly decreased the transepithelial voltage. These data support the hypothesis that, in the DCTb in primary culture, the transepithelial voltage is due to the presence of Na channels and that calcitonin modulates this transport pathway.

The effect of exogenously added adenylate cyclase from Bordetella pertussis (strain 114) has been investigated in Y-1 mouse adrenal tumor, chinese hamster ovary (CHO) and several other cells. A partially purified adenylate cyclase was found not to enter cells but, nevertheless, produced large amounts of cAMP in the medium. We could show that this resulted from release of ATP (and not larger molecules). The ATP released by the cells could be (1) directly measured and was replenished after each change of medium; (2) was reciprocally related to the cAMP produced; and (3) was competed for by ATPases present in added serum or by hexokinase and, less effectively, by exoenzymes on the cell surface. The extent of ATP leakage varied widely between different cell lines, being marked in CHO and Y-1 adrenal cells but negligible in transformed lymphocyte lines. The uncertainty of the origin of cAMP found in media of cultured cells requires separate analysis of cell and medium cAMP and an assessment of ATP leakage.

Nucleoside diphosphokinase (NDK) of human platelets has been purified by chromatography on Blue Sepharose CL-6B gel (purification factor of 950) and shown to be free of adenylate kinase, ATPase and adenylate cyclase. The molecular weight was 70,000 with subunits of 17,000. The pH optimum was 8.0 Km values for ATP and dTDP were determined in two ways using the pyruvate kinase-lactate dehydrogenase coupled enzyme assay. Values of 0.38 and 0.20 mM were obtained for ATP and 0.29 and 0.21 mM for dTDP. Km values for ADP (0.024 mM) and GTP (0.12 mM) were determined with the hexokinase-glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase coupled enzyme assay. These values are in agreement with those reported for NDK from other sources. Theophylline, which inhibits the NDK activity of intact platelets and platelet membrane preparations and inhibits the ADP-induced shape change of platelets, was shown to be a competitive inhibitor of both the free and phosphorylated forms of NDK with competitive inhibition constants (Kic) of 9.3 and 9.6 mM respectively. Papaverine, another cAMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor, which also inhibits the ADP-induced shape change of platelets, had no inhibitory effect on platelet NDK. It was concluded that the inhibitory effect of theophylline on the activity of the purified enzyme was due to the structural similarity between the methylxanthine and the adenine moiety of ADP.

1. The ability of exogenously administered cyclic AMP (adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate) to exert andromimetic action on certain carbohydrate-metabolizing enzymes was investigated in the rat prostate gland and seminal vesicles. 2. Cyclic AMP, when injected concurrently with theophylline, produced marked increases in hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase, pyruvate kinase, and two hexose monophosphate-shunt enzymes, as well as alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase activity in accessory sexual tissues of castrated rats. The 6-N,2'-O-dibutyryl analogue of cyclic AMP caused increases of enzyme activity that were greater than those induced by the parent compound. 3. Time-course studies demonstrated that, whereas significant increases in the activities of most enzymes occurred within 4h after the injection of cyclic AMP, maximal increases were attained at 16-24h. 4. Increase in the activity of the various prostatic and vesicular enzymes was dependent on the dose of cyclic AMP; in most instances, 2.5mg of the cyclic nucleotide/rat was sufficient to elicit a statistically significant response. 5. Administration of cyclic AMP and theophylline also produced stimulation of enzyme activities in secondary sexual tissues of immature rats. 6. Cyclic AMP and theophylline did not affect significantly any of the enzymes studied in hepatic tissue. 7. Stimulation of various carbohydrate-metabolizing enzymes in the prostate gland and seminal vesicles by cyclic AMP was independent of adrenal function. 8. Concurrent treatment with actinomycin or cycloheximide prevented the cyclic AMP- and theophylline-induced increases in enzyme activities in both castrated and adrenalectomized-castrated animals. 9. Administration of a single dose of testosterone propionate (5.0mg/100g) to castrated rats caused a significant increase in cyclic AMP concentration in both accessory sexual tissues. 10. In addition, treatment with theophylline potentiated the effects of a submaximal dose of testosterone (1.0mg/100g) on all those prostatic and seminal-vesicular enzymes that are increased by exogenous cyclic AMP. 11. The evidence indicates that cyclic AMP may be involved in triggering the known metabolic actions of androgens on secondary sexual tissues of the rat.

The regulation of extramicrosomal Ca2+ concentration maintained by suspensions of rat insulinoma microsomes was studied using Ca2+-selective minielectrodes. The Ca2+-transporting activity was MgATP dependent and correlated with the endoplasmic reticulum marker NADPH-cytochrome c reductase. When incubated in a high KCl medium containing Mg2+ and phosphate, the microsomes lowered [Ca2+] within less than 10 min to around 0.2 microM. They had a high Ca2+-sequestering activity since they were able to take up and retain several small Ca2+ additions. No evidence for a Na+/Ca2+ countertransport was obtained. The accumulated Ca2+ was released by the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 or upon transforming ATP into ADP using glucose plus hexokinase. The addition of ADP, at concentrations present in cells, resulted in a dose-dependent and reversible net Ca2+ efflux from the microsomes until a higher [Ca2+] steady state was reached. This was specific for ADP since GDP, UDP, CDP, IDP, and the nonhydrolyzable analogue methylene-ADP as well as AMP and cAMP did not reproduce the effect. Insulin secretory granules were unable to lower medium [Ca2+] or to take up a pulse addition of Ca2+. However, most of the large granular calcium content was released by A23187. The addition of Na+ and lowering or increasing medium pH by 0.2 pH unit did not induce Ca2+ uptake or efflux from the secretory granules. The results indicate that insulinoma endoplasmic reticulum but not insulin secretory granules may play a critical role in the regulation of cytosolic Ca2+. A variation in cellular ADP content following secretagogue addition might modulate Ca2+ fluxes across the endoplasmic reticulum and contribute in raising cytosolic Ca2+.

Possible regulatory effect of testosterone on hexokinase and phosphofructokinase activities was studied in rats seminal vesicles and prostatic gland. cAMP, but not cGMP, was shown to stimulate the testosterone induction of these enzymes in androgen-sensitive tissues. Cooperative increase in efficiency, observed after simultaneous administration of testosterone and inhibitors of phosphodiesterase, suggested the possible mechanism of cyclonucleotide-mediated regulation of enzymes by androgens. Regulation of the glycolysis kev enzymes appears to be carried out via two mechanisms; binding with androgen receptors of cytosol and an increase of intracellular cAMP concentration apparently by means of phosphodiesterase inhibition.

Preincubation of liver and skeletal muscle cytosol obtained from Wistar rats in the presence of cAMP, ATP and MgCl2 inhibited hexokinase. The decrease in the total enzymatic activity was a consequence of inhibition of types 2 and 3 hexokinase. The activity of type 1 hexokinase was unchanged. Under the similar conditions there was a lowering of the total activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase which arose from inhibition of types 1 and 2 of the enzyme. The activity of other glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase isozymes remained unchanged. Preincubation of adrenal supernatant with cAMP, ATP and MgCl2 did not alter the activity of both enzymes. This is likely to be due to the absence of the respective cAMP-dependent proteinkinases and to the features of the isozyme spectrum. The results obtained indicate that hexokinase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase can be attributed to the group of enzymes that are regulated by the "phosphorylation-dephosphorylation" mechanism.

The rates of glycolysis and glycogenolysis an the rate of lactate formation from glucoso-6-phosphate (G-6-Ph) in the liver were reduced during stress (starvation). On the contrary, these activities in the adrenals were increased. The rates of lactate formation from fructose diphosphate remained unchanged in both organs. The results obtained attest to the inhibition in the liver and activation in the adrenals of phosphorylase, hexokinase and phosphofructokinase. The degree of hexokinase inhibition in the liver depended on the presence of cAMP, ATP and MgCl2 in the incubation medium and was a consequence of enzymatic phosphorylation. Unlike 2', 3'-AMP, the inhibitory effect of CAMP was highly specific. The protein inhibitor of protein kinase completely reversed the inhibitory effect of cAMP on hexokinase. In the adrenals, cAMP slightly increased the rates of glycolysis and lactate formation from G-6-Ph because of allosteric effects of cAMP. The activation rather than inhibition of glycolysis in the adrenals during stress is probably caused by the absence in this tissue of cAMP-dependent protein kinase which phosphorylates hexokinase.

Under conditions of acute and chronic stress carbohydrate metabolism was decreased in muscles and liver tissue, increased in adrenal glands and unaltered in brain. cAMP at concentration 10(-5)M decreased the rate of glycolysis in liver tissue and increased it slightly in adrenal glands. The inhibitory effect of cAMP was not decreased by 2',3'-AMP and was reversed completely by the protein inhibitor of proteinkinase. cAMP inhibited hexokinase (HK) isoenzymes 2 and 3 as well as glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) isoenzymes 1 and 2, activities of HK 1 and G6PD 3 and 4 were unaltered. The decrease in activities of HK and G6PD appears to be related to phosphorylation of proteinkinase; lack of the effect of cAMP in adrenal glands was apparently due to absence of corresponding cAMP-dependent proteinkinase in this tissue.
