Sorbitol density gradient centrifugation applied to intestinal mucosa homogenates resulted in a complete separation of soluble calcium-binding protein from the bound fraction of calcium-binding protein, providing further documentation of the bound pool of calcium-binding protein. The peak of the bound calcium-binding protein was not associated with the major peaks of any of the markers used, but was associated with minor peaks of alkaline phosphatase, RNA, and glucose-6-phosphatase. Lack of association of bound calcium-binding protein with (Na+ + K+)-ATPase indicated that the bound calcium-binding protein is not on the basolateral membrane. Differential centrifugation fractionation indicated that the bound calcium-binding protein is not associated with nuclei or mitochondria. The bound calcium-binding protein also could not be detected in partially purified brush borders. Exclusion of the brush border and basolateral membranes as the location of the bound calcium-binding protein suggests an intracellular locale.

Bone ECF is separated from the general ECF by a functional membrane which has been shown to limit the mineralization of embryonic tibiae and to selectively pump Ca out of the bone ECF. Energy to run this pump may be derived from ATP hydrolyzed by Ca-2+-stimulated ATPase, an enzyme activity which bone alkaline phosphatase may possess. The data suggest that PTH rapidly and selectively increases Ca pumping possibly by increasing ATPase activity in the bone cell cytosol through increased Ca influx and by increasing the intracellular ATPase level through inhibited secretion or excretion of the enzyme.

A cytochemical method for the light and electron microscope localization of the K- and Mg-dependent phosphatase component of the Na-K-ATPase complex was applied to rat kidney cortex, utilizing p-nitrophenylphosphate (NPP) as substrate. Localization of K-N-ATPase activity in kidneys fixed by perfusion with 1% paraformaldehyde -0.25% glutaraldehyde demonstrated that distal tubules are the major cortical site for this sodium transport enzyme. Cortical collecting tubules were moderately reactive, whereas activity in proximal tubules was resolved only after short fixation times and long incubations. In all cases, K-NPPase activity was restricted to the cytoplasmic side of the basolateral plasma membranes, which are characterized in these neplron segments by elaborate folding of the cell surface. Although the rat K-NPPase appeared almost completely insensitive to ouabain with this cytochemical medium, parallel studies with the more glycoside-sensitive rabbit kidney indicated that K-NPPase activity in these nephron segments is sensitive to this inhibitor. In addition to K-NPPase, nonspecific alkaline phosphatase also hydrolyzed NPP. The latter could be differentiated cytochemically from the specific phosphatase, since alkaline phosphatase was K-independent, insensitive to ouabain, and specifically inhibited by cysteine. Unlike K-NPPPase, alkaline phosphatase was localized primarily to the extracellular side of the microvillar border of proximal tubules. A small amount of cysteine-sensitive activity was resolved along peritubular surfaces of proximal tubules. Distal tubules were unreactive. In comparative studies, Mg-ATPase activity was localized along the extracellular side of the luminal and basolateral surfaces of proximal and distal tubules and the basolateral membranes of collecting tubules.

The effects of diphenylhydantoin (DPH) and ouabain were studied in vitro on Mg-ATPase, Ca-ATPase and alkaline phosphatase (AlPase) in isolated brush borders from rat jejunum, and in vivo on intestinal calcium absorption. Vitamin D-deficient, -repleted and normal rats were used in this study. Repletion of deficient animals with vitamin D restored Ca-ATPase activity and AlPase activity partly. Ca-absorption was normalized by repletion with the vitamin. DPH greatly stimulated Ca-ATPase activity in vitro and Ca-absorption in vivo, but it inhibited AlPase activity. Mg-ATPase was not affected by vitamin D, nor by DPH. Ouabain had no consistent effect on any of the parameters studied. It was concluded that Ca-ATPase, and not AlPase, is involved in the transport of calcium through the jejunal microvillous membrane, and that DPH enhances Ca-absorption by activation of Ca-ATPase.

Mucosal response of alkaline phosphatase, ATPase and disaccharidase (lactase, maltase and trehalase) activities to sex hormones were studied by comparing male and female rats and castrated males and by injecting testosterone into castrated males. Alkaline phosphatase showed a very steep gradient in the small intestine from the oral to the aboral end, whereas ATPase activity in the ileum was still about 50% of that in the duodenum. Both enzymes showed only minor sex variations and weal response to castration. Lactase and maltase had peak activities in the jejunum, but trehalase activity was nearly equally high in the duodenal mucosa as in the jejunum. Jejunal lactase activity was about 50% lower in female than in male rats and castration decreased activity in males to the same low level as found in females. The administration of testosterone to castrated male rats did not enhance activity. Maltase activity showed similar sex variation, although castration was not able to decrease activity during the test period. Trehalase activity was lower in female than in male rats. The administration of testosterone enhance activity in castrated males.

Lactoperoxidase-catalysed iodination was used to label intestinal epithelial cell sheets with 125I. The iodination was carried out under conditions that allowed little penetration of lactoperoxidase into the cells and membrane-bound 125I therefore provided an effective marker for following plasma-membrane fragments through subcellular-fractionation procedures. 2. After homogenization and isopycnic zonal centrifugation through sucrose gradients two peaks of membrane-bound 125I were detected. One coincided with brush border enzymes such as alkaline phosphatase, disaccharidases and L-leucine B-naphthylamidase, whereas the other was coincident with the major peak of (Na++K+)-stimulated ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase), which has been thought to be concentrated in the basolateral plasma membranes of these cells. Neither peak of 125I reflected the distribution of any marker for an intracellular organelle. 3. A larger proportion of the (Na++K+)-stimulated ATPase, and thus of the basolateral plasma-membrane material, was found in a crude 'mitochondrial' fraction. It was not readiily separated from mitochondria by conventional techniques of subcellular fractionation. 4. Treatment of the 'mitochondrial' fraction with digitonin increased the density of basolateral plasma membrane but had little effect on mitochondrial density. A purified preparation of digitonin-loaded basolateral plasma membranes was isolated at a density of 1.20-1.22 by isopycnic centrifugation. 5. The enzymic composition of this preparation of basolateral plasma membranes is compared with previous preparations isolated from intestinal mucosal 'scrape' materials and from isolated cells.

The ATPase of matrix vesicles is not stimulated by calcium ions, nor do the vesicles have any capacity to metabolize glucose. ADPase of high activity is also present; thus vesicles cannot be a component of the conventional ATP cycle, in which energy is stored by phosphorylating ADP and released by hydrolyzing the resultant ATP. These results do not support speculations that matrix vesicles might function by concentrating calcium via an energy-dependent ion transport system such as those found in the plasma membrane and the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Matrix vesicles' alkaline phosphatase can be solubilized by treatment with certain detergents: sodium dodecyl sulfate (12 mM and 16 mM), cetylpyridinium chloride (14mM), and deoxycholic acid (DOC, 14 MM). The first two detergents denature the enzyme during storage whereas DOC does not. DOC will also solubilize ATPase and inorganic pyrophosphatase. Yields of the three enzymes are 85-95%. Dialysis of a DOC digest of vesicles removes DOC and 43% of protein, and also causes much of the alkaline phosphatase to become particulate once again.

The plant lectin concanavalin A (Con A) specifically inactivates the 5'-nucleotidase of a plasma membrane-enriched fraction from lactating mammary gland. The lectin also causes an activation of the membrane Mg++-ATPase, but does not affect galactosyltransferase or alkaline phosphatase. The enzyme perturbations are prevented by alpha-methylmannoside, an inhibitor of Con A binding, indicating that specific binding to carbohydrate structures rather than nonspecific protein-protein interaction is involved. Solubilization of the 5'-nucleotidase in detergents (0.2% Triton X-100 or 1% deoxycholate) does not prevent Con A inactivation, indicating that incorporation into the membrane structure is not a requirement for the Con A effect. the results suggest that Con A inactivates the 5'-nucleotidase by a direct interaction with the enzyme and that this enzyme is a Con A receptor site on the surface of mammary cells.

Preparation of surface membranes from mouse L-cells using a technique previously described in the literature [Perdue & Sneider, 1970] allowed characterization of a Ca-activated ATPase apparently separate from the mitochondrial ATPase also dependent on calcium. This enzyme is associated with the Na-K-ATPase, a marker for surface membranes, and not wilth alkaline phosphatase, a mitochondrial enzyme. In temperature sensitivity, pH dependence and inhibition by ethacrynic acid, the partially purified enzyme has properties similar to those previously described for active calcium efflux from these cells. For maximal activity of the enzyme system magnesium and sodium are required, although the calcium transport from whole cells was apparently independent of both. Adenosine triphosphate only was metabolized by the enzyme system, whereas CTP could be utilized for calcium transport from 'ghost' cells, probably as a result of intracellular conversion to ATP. It is suggested that the active calcium transport from cultured L-cells is closely linked to the calcium dependent ATPase, and that the method of calcium extrusion is similar to that described for red blood cells.

Rats with adjuvant-induced arthritis were observed to have increased alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase (two isozymes), and ATPase activity in the radial zone of articular cartilage, at the osteochondral junction, and in the bone marrow elements. A qualitative and quantitative reduction azure A, PAS colloidal iron, alcian blud critical electrolyte concentration staining (0.4 and 0.9 M (mg Cl2) was also observed in corresponding areas. These findings suggest the degradation of the articular cartilage matrix with possible simultaneous or resultant calcification.
