Gastric mucosal PG E2 receptors are the common antisecretory working point of all prostanoid types and may also be involved in "protective" effects. We investigated the subcellular localization of these receptors, as measured by displaceable 3H-PG E2 binding, and identified different organelles by monitoring the activities of specific marker enzymes. Porcine mucosal homogenates were subdivided by differential centrifugation into fractions P1 (1000 x g), P2 (20,000 x g), P3 (300,000 x g) and the supernatant S1. P3 was further fractionated over a series of sucrose step gradients. Mitochondria and lysosomes were enriched in P2 (maximum specific activities of cytochrome-c-oxidase of beta-glucosidase, beta-glucuronidase, beta-galactosidase, respectively). Plasma membranes (alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyl-transpeptidase, 5-nucleotidase), tubulovesicles (H+/K(+)-ATPase) and rough endoplasmic reticulum (NADPH-cytochrome-c-reductase) were mainly found in P3, which also contained the majority of 3H-PG E2 binding sites. In contrast, prostanoid binding was barely detectable in S1. Density fractionation of P3 revealed that 3H-PG E2 binding sites shared a similar sedimentation profile with plasma membranes and tubulovesicular markers. No or negative correlation was found with lysosomes, rough endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria. We conclude that mucosal PG E2 receptors are predominantly located at the cell surface. This supports the view that prostanoids inhibit gastric secretion through membrane receptors, but gives no clue for intracellular "protective" working points.

Ubiquinol-1 in aerated aqueous solution inactivates several enzymes--alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, Na+/K(+)-ATPase, creatine kinase and glutamine synthetase--but not isocitrate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase. Ubiquinone-1 and/or H2O2 do not affect the activity of alkaline phosphatase and glutamine synthetase chosen as model enzymes. Dioxygen and transition metal ions, even if in trace amounts, are essential for the enzyme inactivation, which indeed does not occur under argon atmosphere or in the presence of metal chelators. Supplementation with redox-active metal ions (Fe3+ or Cu2+), moreover, potentiates alkaline phosphatase inactivation. Since catalase and peroxidase protect while superoxide dismutase does not, hydrogen peroxide rather than superoxide anion seems to be involved in the inactivation mechanism through which oxygen active species (hydroxyl radical or any other equivalent species) are produced via a modified Haber-Weiss cycle, triggered by metal-catalyzed oxidation of ubiquinol-1. The lack of efficiency of radical scavengers and the almost complete protection afforded by enzyme substrates and metal cofactors indicate a 'site-specific' radical attack as responsible for the oxidative damage.

The purification of detergent-solubilized membrane-bound phosphatases from Zymomonas mobilis using novel adsorbents is described. The prepared adsorbents have a hydrophobic core with functional groups attached. These functional groups may either increase or decrease the hydrophobicity of the adsorbent, or participate in other forms of interactions. Adsorption of acid phosphatase (ACP), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and ATPase to these adsorbents was salt-promoted. Desorption was achieved by decreasing the salt concentration or by displacement with increasing concentration of Triton X-100. The results indicate that chromatography on multifunctional adsorbents that are predominantly hydrophobic in character is a procedure that can have a general applicability in purification of membrane proteins.

The effects of divalent cations and of some inhibitors on the activities of alkaline phosphatase and ATPase were examined in rat jejunal brush-border membranes (BBM) isolated by tha Ca(2+)-(BBMCa) or the Mg(2+)-precipitation method (BBMMg). Similar results were found in BBMCa and BBMMg though generally higher in BBMCa. Alkaline phosphatase activity was stimulated by 5 mM MgCl2 (30% to 44%), but not by 5 mM CaCl2 or 0.1 mM ZnCl2, at pH 9.5 or 7.4. ATPase activity was equally stimulated by 5 mM MgCl2 and by 5 mM CaCI2 (about 150%). Alkaline phosphatase activity was significantly inhibited by 1 mM vanadate, 5 mM diamox, 5.0 mM L-leucine and 1 mM theophylline. In contrast, Ca(2+)-ATPase and Mg(2+)-ATPase activities were not depressed by those alkaline phosphatase inhibitors, but were inhibited by 0.1 mM trifluoperazine (more than 70%). 0.1 mM ZnCl2 also appeared to be inhibitory to Ca(2+)-ATPase and Mg(2+)-ATPase, but not to alkaline phosphatase activity even in the presence of Ca2+ and Mg2+. These results suggest that Ca(2+)-ATPase and Mg(2+)-ATPase activities of the rat jejunal BBM are not merely manifestations of alkaline phosphatase, but rather belong to (a) distinct enzyme(s).

Embryonal nervous tissue from Wistar rats was transplanted into male rats of Wistar and August strains. Activity of eight enzymes belonging to various systems was estimated in brain cortex of rats recipients within 36 days after the transplantation. Lactate dehydrogenase, alanine aminotransferase, acid phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, ATPase and aldolase exhibited the dissimilarly decreased rate of activity in brain cortex of Wistar rats after transplantation as compared with the enzymatic activity in intact animals of this strain, while activity of alkaline phosphatase and esterases hydrolyzing alpha-naphthyl acetate was increased. Activation of almost all the enzymes studied was found within 36 days in Wistar rats after the transplantation. The rate of activity of zonal esterase isoenzymes was higher in brain cortex of August rats after transplantation of embryonal nervous tissue from Wistar strain as compared with that of Wistar to Wistar rats transplantation. The data obtained suggest that tissues of donors affected definitely the enzymatic activity in brain cells of rats-recipients as activity of most enzymes studied was higher in brain cortex of donors as compared with that of recipients.

It has been established in experiments on white rats that antituberculous drugs (isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol) given in toxic doses affect the liver, its membranes and organelles, inhibit bile production and bioenergy. This is supported by activation of aspartate and alanine aminotransferases, (ALT and AST), alkaline phosphatase in blood serum and acid phosphatase in the liver, by a decrease of the activity of Na(+)-, K(+)-ATPase, succinate dehydrogenase and cytochromoxidase in the liver, lowering of the rate of bile secretion, excretion of bile acids, bilirubin and cholesterol with bile. Provided the drugs are administered in combination, the hepatotoxicity rises, particularly in combination of isoniazid with rifampicin, and especially as isoniazid is combined with rifampicin and ethambutol.

The localization of Ca(++)-ATPase activity was investigated in the rat cerebral cortex using an ultracytochemical method. Our cytochemical procedure for the detection of enzyme activity is based on an incubation medium consisting of tricine buffer, ATP-disodium salt as substrate, cerium chloride as capturing agent, CaCl2, and levamisole as a nonspecific alkaline phosphatase inhibitor. Final pH was 7.4. Reaction products showing Ca(++)-ATPase activity were localised on the pre- and postsynaptic plasma membrane in association with synaptic vesicles, postsynaptic dendrites and on the axolemma in myelinated nerve fibres. The verification of the main enzymatic properties of Ca(++)-ATPase localization activity is the subject of the following report.

The kinetic properties of type-II ATP diphosphohydrolase are described in this work. The enzyme preparation from the inner layer of the bovine aorta, mostly composed of smooth muscle cells, shows an optimum at pH 7.5. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of tri- and diphosphonucleosides and it requires either Ca2+ or Mg2+ for activity. It is insensitive to ouabain (3 mM), an inhibitor of Na+/K(+)-ATPase, to tetramisole (5 mM), an inhibitor of alkaline phosphatase, and to Ap5A (100 microM), an inhibitor of adenylate kinase. In contrast, sodium azide (10 mM), a known inhibitor for ATPDases and mitochondrial ATPase, is an effective inhibitor. Mercuric chloride (10 microM) and 5'-p-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl adenosine are also powerful inhibitors, both with ATP and ADP as substrates. The inhibition patterns are similar for ATP and DP, thereby, supporting the concept of a common catalytic site for these substrates. Apparent Km and Vmax, obtained with ATP as the substrate, were evaluated at 23 +/- 3 microM and 1.09 mumol Pi/min per mg protein, respectively. The kinetic properties of this enzyme and its localization as an ectoenzyme on bovine aorta smooth muscle cells suggest that it may play a major role in regulating the relative concentrations of extracellular nucleotides in blood vessels.

Time course of the activities of transport enzymes in capillary walls of human spinal cord was studied in various periods after closed injury to the cord, inflicted by hard blunt objects, with the use of histochemical methods for the detection of alkaline phosphatase and Mg-dependent ATPase. Wave-like fluctuations in the activities of the examined enzymes were revealed. The findings may be used to assess the period elapsed since the cord injury.

The vacuolar ATPase of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae acidifies the vacuolar lumen and generates an electrochemical gradient across the vacuole membrane. We have investigated the role of compartment acidification of the vacuolar system in the sorting of vacuolar proteins. Strains with chromosomal disruptions of genes (delta vat) encoding the A (69 x 10(3) M(r)), B (57 x 10(3) M(r)) or c (16 x 10(3) M(r)) subunits of the vacuolar ATPase accumulate and secrete precursor forms of the soluble vacuolar hydrolases carboxypeptidase Y and proteinase A. A kinetic analysis suggests that these precursor proteins accumulate in, and are secreted from, the Golgi complex or post-Golgi vesicles. In addition, subcellular fractionation shows that vacuolar hydrolase-invertase hybrid proteins are inefficiently localized to the vacuole in delta vat strains. This result suggests that the vat mutations cause a steady-state defect in vacuolar protein sorting. The vat mutations also affect the sorting of vacuolar membrane proteins. Precursor forms of alkaline phosphatase are accumulated in vat mutant cells, but to a lesser extent than is seen for the soluble vacuolar hydrolases. This finding, coupled with the insensitivity of alkaline phosphatase to the ATPase inhibitor bafilomycin A1, suggests that vacuolar membrane protein sorting is less sensitive to changes in lumenal pH when compared with the targeting of soluble vacuolar proteins. These results indicate that acidification of the vacuolar system is important for efficient sorting of soluble proteins to the vacuole.
