The relationship between bile salt-independent canalicular flow and ATPase activity in liver plasma membranes (LPM) enriched in bile canaliculi, was studied in control, hyperthyroid, and hypothyroid rats. Canalicular bile production was significantly increased in hyperthyroid rats (3.19 +/- 0.23 mul/min per g liver) compared to controls (2.27 +/- 0.24 mul/min per g liver), while it diminished in hypothyroid animals (1.58 +/- 0.17 mul/min per g liver). Although bile salt excretion was also increased in hyperthyroid animals (62.4 +/- 13.3 vs. 41.2 +/- 8.4 nmol/min per g liver), the stimulation in canalicular secretion was primarily related to enhancement of the bile salt-independent fraction of flow (2.47 mul/min per g liver in hyperthyroid rats vs. 1.67 mul/min per g liver in controls). LPM Na+, K+-ATPase activity doubled in hyperthyroid animals (21.5 +/- 5.8 vs. 10.7 +/- 3.1 mumol Pi/mg protein per h) while Mg++-ATPase activity remained unchanged and 5'-nucleotidase activity increased to a small but significant extent. In hypothyroid rats, bile salt excretion remained unchanged from control values so that the reduced secretion was entirely secondary to an inhibition of bile salt-independent secretion (1.19 mul/min per g liver). Na+, K+-ATPase activity in the LPMs from hypothyroid animals decreased by nearly 50% (5.4 +/- 1.6 mumol Pi/mg protein per h), although comparable reductions in the specific activity of Mg++-ATPase and 5'-nucleotidase were also observed. Administration of L-thyroxine to hypothyroid animals restored both bile salt-independent canalicular secretion and membrane enzymes to control values within 2 and 4 days, respectively. Sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis demonstrated no significant changes in LPM protein fractions from any of the treatment groups. These studies indicate that thyroid hormone has a parallel effect on bile salt-independent canalicular secretion and LPM Na+, K+-ATPase activity, supporting the hypothesis that Na+ transport and Na+, K+-ATPase may be determinants of bile salt-independent canalicular flow.

Cholestatic jaundice is one complication of nonhepatic gram-negative bacterial infection. The endotoxin of Escherichia coli has been reported to cause cholestasis by inhibiting the bile salt-independent fraction (BSIF) of bile in the perfused rat liver. Accordingly, the effects of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of E. coli and Salmonella enteritidis on the Na+, K+-adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) in canalicular-enriched plasma membranes of rate liver were examined. At 20 microgram/ml, both endotoxins inhibited this enzyme by approximately 40%. Maximal inhibition (70%-80%) occurred at concentrations of greater than or equal to 120 microgram/ml. The LPS of neither organism exerted any effect on the activity of Mg++-ATPase or 5'-nucleotidase in the same preparations. Inhibition by the E. coli LPS appeared to be noncompetitive in nature, and the calculated Ki was 45 microgram/ml. Since the Na+, K+-ATPase may be responsible for the elaboration of BSIF, inhibition of this enzyme could be the underlying mechanism for the endotoxin-induced cholestasis.

The activities of subcellular marker enzymes in bile and liver homogenate from several mammalian species have provided information on the specificity of protein release during bile formation. The presence of significant amounts of the plasma membrane enzymes alkaline phosphodiesterase I and leucyl-beta-naphthylamidase in bile, in addition to alkaline phosphatase and 5'-nucleotidase, and the relative absence of intracellular enzymes lends support to the view that bile salt liberation from the hepatocyte is accompanied by a partial solubilization of the plasma (canalicular) membrane without extensive damage to the whole hepatocyte.

Nuclei, nuclear membranes and rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER) were isolated from onion root tips and stems. Structural preservation and purity of the fractions was determined by electron microscopic and biochemical methods. Gross compositional data (protein, phospholipid, nonpolar lipids, sterols, RNA, DNA), phospholipid and fatty acid patterns, enzyme activities (ATPases, ADPase, IDPase, glucose-6-phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase, acid phosphatase, and NADH- and NADPH-cytochrome C reductases), and cytochrome contents were determined. A stable, high salt-resistant attachment of some DNA with the nuclear membrane was observed as well as the association of some RNA with high salt-treated nuclear and rER membranes. The phospholipid pattern was identical for both nuclear and rER membranes and showed a predominance of lecithin (about 60%) and phosphatidyl ethanolamine (20-24%). Special care was necessary to minimize lipid degradation by phospholipases during isolations. Nonpolar lipids, mostly sterols and triglycerides, accounted for 35-45% of the membrane lipids. Sterol contents were relatively high in both membrane fractions (molar ratios of sterols to phospholipids ranged from 0.12 to 0.43). Sitosterol accounted for about 80% of the total sterols. Palmitic, oleic, and linoleic acids were the most prevalent acids in membrane-bound lipids as well as in storage lipids and occurred in similar proportions in phospholipids, triglycerides and free fatty acids of the membrane. About 80% of the fatty acids in membrane phospholipids and triglycerides were unsaturated. A cytochrome of the b5 type was characterized in these membranes, but P-450-like cytochromes could not be detected. Both NADH and NADPH-cytochrome c reductases were found in nuclear and rER membranes and appeared to be enriched in rER membranes. Among the phosphatases, Mg2+-ATPase and, to lesser extents, ADPase, IDPase and acid phosphatase activities occurred in the fractions, but significant amounts of monovalent ion-stimulated ATPase, 5'-nucleotidase and glucose-6-phosphatase activities did not. The results obtained emphasize that the close biochemical similarities noted between rER and nuclear membranes of animal cells extend to these fractions from plant cells.

A membrane fraction with sarcolemmal properties was purified from the smooth muscle layers (myometrium) of rat uterus by successive differential and equilibrium centrifugation in sucrose. The putative sarcolemmal fraction was identified by iodination with [125I]iodosulfanilic acid, had an equilibrium density of 1.15, and was enriched in enzyme activities usually associated with the plasma membrane including 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) and (Na+ + K+) ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3). These membranes were free of mitochondrial or nuclear membrane contamination, suggesting the relative enrichment of sarcolemmal membranes in the fraction. Proteins of the membranes were heterogeneous with respect to molecular weight, but only a few were labelled when intact muscle was radioiodinated. Uniform resistance of sarcolemmal proteins to trypsin digestion and salt extraction suggested many are tightly bound or intrinsic membrane proteins and was a further indication of the homogeneity of membranes in this fraction.

The overall transport of bile salts across the hepatocyte is characterized as a carrier-mediated process whose rate-limiting step is biliary secretion. Specific bile salt binding proteins have been identified in liver surface membrane fractions and were postulated to represent the initial interaction in bile salt translocation across both the sinusoidal and canalicular membranes. To test this hypothesis, cycloheximide was administered to rats to inhibit hepatic protein synthesis. 16 h after cycloheximide administration [14C]leucine incorporation into hepatic protein was inhibited by 93% at 1 h and 47% at 12 h. However, values of liver function tests were not increased, although serum albumin, serum alanine amino-transferase, and alkaline phosphatase were significantly decreased. Light and electron microscopy did not demonstrate necrosis or fat accumulation. The latter demonstrated minimal disorganization of rough endoplasmic reticulum and occasional lamellar whorls. 16 h after cycloheximide administration bile salt independent bile flow, basal bile salt excretion, and basal bile flow were unaltered, but the maximum bile salt transport capacity was reduced to 62% of control and 24 h later to 38%. Decreased bile salt transport was reversible, for it returned to control values after 48 h, when hepatic protein synthesis was also normal. Maximum bromosulfophthalein (BSP) transport, on the other hand, was reduced after 16 h to only 85% of control. Both bile salt and BPS maximum transport capacities decreased with time during inhibition of protein synthesis, apparently following first order kinetics. It was estimated that their half-lives are 20 h for bile salt transport and 55 h for BSP transport. These different turnover rates suggest that cycloheximide does not decrease active transport through generalized hepatic dysfunction or alteration of high energy sources possibly required for transport. The maximum number of [14C]cholic acid binding sites in liver surface membrane fractions was determined by an ultrafiltration assay. They were reduced to 68% of control after 16 h of cycloheximide and to 25% after 24 h. This reduction in the number of binding sites is apparently selective, for the activities of the liver surface membrane enzymes (Na+-K+)ATPase, Mg++-ATPase, and 5'-nucleotidase were not significantly changed. The associated alterations in bile salt transport and the maximum number of binding sites after cycloheximide administration suggests that these receptors may be the bile salt carriers.

A highly enriched sarcolemma preparation was isolated by differential centrifugation of a canine ventricular homogenate followed by centrifugation of a membrane fraction layered over 22% (w/v) sucrose. Ouabain binding, ouabain-sensitive potassium phosphatase activity and 5'-nucleotidase activity were enriched 19--27 fold over the homogenate whereas Ca2+-ATPase and succinate dehydrogenase activities were 0.75 and 0.36, respectively, of that for the homogenate. The isolation procedure was relatively rapid and yielded about 2.0 mg protein/100 g of ventricular muscle. The highest salt concentration used in the procedure was 0.6 M KCl and no detergents were employed. Initial characterization studies suggested that the sarcolemma-enriched fraction consists predominantly if not totally of freely permeable membrane vesicles and that the sarcolemma does not manifest a Ca2+-ATPase activity, at least within the limits of the assay procedures employed. This preparation was concluded to be about 1.5- to 4-fold more highly enriched with sarcolemmal markers than preparations obtained by previously published procedures. Accordingly, the preparation provides an improved basis for the probe of calcium movements that occur across the sarcolemma in association with the excitation-contraction-relaxation sequence of the mammalian myocardial cell.

Mitochondrial and microsomal fractions were isolated from guinea pig myocardium by differential pelleting. The mitochondrial fraction was subjected to analytical subfractionation by sucrose density gradient centrifugation and the gradient fractions assayed for marker enzymes for the various mitochondrial compartments, viz outer membrane (monoamine oxidase), intermembranous space (adenylate kinase), inner membrane (Mg2+-dependent ATPase and cytochrome c oxidase) and mitochondrial matrix (malate dehydrogenase), and for creatine kinase. Both creatine kinase and adenylate kinase were released by suspending the mitochondria in 50 mmol . litre-1 sodium phosphate buffer. Sonication or disruption with the detergent, digitonin released the adenylate kinase but the creatine kinase remained associated with the inner membranes. Subsequent salt treatment desorbed the creatine kinase from these membranes. It is concluded that creatine kinase is located to the outer aspect of the inner mitochondrial membrane. Analytical subfractionation of the microsomal fraction clearly resolved markers for the sarcolemma (5'-nucleotidase), outer mitochondrial membrane (monoamine oxidase) and endoplasmic reticulum (neutral alpha-glucosidase and RNA). Creatine kinase was localised in the endoplasmic reticulum particularly the smooth membranes.

The human neutrophil neutral peptide-generating protease was associated with the plasma membrane marker 5'-nucleotidase on sucrose density gradient centrifugation of sonicates of granule-free fractions following homogenization and velocity sedimentation. The two activities were also associated on sucrose density gradient fractionation of plasma membranes obtained by hypotonic lysis in EDTA containing buffers, a technique which minimizes aggregation. Treatment of fractions containing these enzymatic activities with 1-0 M NaCl separated the neutral peptide-generating proteasein to the eluate while leaving the 5'-nucleotidase in the pellet. Gel filtration of the solubilized neutral peptide-generating protease through Sephadex G-100 in 1-0 M NaCl demonstrated that the protease had an approximate mol. wt of 20,000 while filtration in physiological salt concentrations yielded activity only in the excluded volume. In both cases, there was complete recovery of neutral peptide-generating activity suggesting that the filtration characteristics of the protease were determined by the salt concentration. The solubilized purified protease, the whole cell sonicates, and the intact cells interacted with heat-inactivated plasma to yield the same product, a neutral peptide with a 1000 molecular weight and an isoelectric point of 7-2-7-6. The neutral peptide-generating protease in each instance was inhibited in dose-response fashion by alpha-1-antitrypsin, LBTI, and DFP. Only 30-60% of the protease sites were functional on intact cells as revealed by substrate cleavage or were available to inhibitors. The neutrophil protease which generates neutral peptide is an extrinsic plasma membrane protein with an approximate mol. wt of 20,000 which functions as an ectoenzyme.

The diazonium salt of sulfanilic acid (DASA) can inactivate about 80% of the total 5'-nucleotidase of viable macrophages. The remaining 20% can be inactivated if the cells are first lysed in detergent, and presumably represents an intracellular pool of 5'-nucleotidase. The bulk of this pool may represent cytoplasmic vesicles derived from plasma membrane by endocytosis. This internal compartment is expanded up to threefold immediately after the cells have ingested a large latex load. This is consistent with previous observations on the internalization of 5'-nucleotidase in latex phagosomes. In latex-filled cells this intracellular pool of enzyme is inactivated over a few hours, and the cells then slowly increase their enzyme activity to nearly normal levels. However, 24 h after latex ingestion the metabolism of 5'-nucleotidase in these recovered cells is abnormal, as the rate of enzyme degradation is about twice the normal rate, and the DASA-insensitive enzyme pool in these cells is strikingly diminished. This may reflect effects of the accumulated indigestible particles on the fate of incoming pinocytic vesicles or on newly synthesized plasma membrane precursor. Another endocytic stimulus, concanavalin A, also reduces the total cell 5'-nucleotidase activity. This effect, which is time and temperature dependent, can be prevented by the competitive sugar alpha-methyl mannose. The concanavalin A inhibition can be reversed in the absence of new protein synthesis or in cells cultivated in serum-free conditions. It is not known whether the effect of concanavalin A on 5'-nucleotidase depends upon the interiorizaiton of plasma membrane or is strictly associated with events at the cell surface.
