Activation of rat basophilic leukaemia cells (RBL-2H3) leads to the secretion of allergic and inflammatory mediators. These cells can be permeabilized, yet still retain their ability to secrete in response to antigen. Secretion can also be induced in permeabilized cells by the addition of the ATP analogue, ATP gamma S [adenosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate)], which is relatively resistant to phosphatase activity. ATP gamma S-induced secretion (35-50% of total amine) is temperature and concentration-dependent. Calcium enhances secretion, but unlike antigen-induced secretion, it does occur in the absence of calcium and without the requirement for inositol phospholipid hydrolysis. Other ATP analogues induced secretion in the rank order AMP-PNP > or = ATP gamma S >>> AMP-PCP > ATP alpha S = ATP [AMP-PNP, adenylyl-imidodiphosphate; AMP-PCP, adenylyl (beta,gamma-methylene)-diphosphonate; ATP alpha S, adenosine-5'-O-(1-thiotriphosphate)]. At equimolar concentrations, ATP inhibits ATP gamma S-induced secretion by 50%, but prolonged incubation in the presence of ATP gamma S surmounts the ATP inhibition. ADP is nearly as effective an inhibitor, but GTP and ITP are ineffective. It is likely that secretion occurs through attachment at an ATP-binding site, effectively blocking the action of a phosphatase, active later in the normal secretory pathway.

The relaxant action of adenine nucleotides was studied in isolated rabbit trachealis to assess the presence of P2-purinoceptors in the airways, their cellular location, and pharmacologic properties. Strips of tracheal smooth muscle with intact epithelium were incubated in tissue baths and contracted with 1 microM acetylcholine. Over a dose range of 0.1 microM to 1 mM, ATP and ADP were significantly more potent than adenosine in relaxing tracheal smooth muscle. Significant relaxations were also elicited by AMP-PCP, AMP-CPP, and AMP-PNP, three ATP analogs stable to enzymatic hydrolysis to adenosine. In the absence of acetylcholine, neither ATP nor AMP-CPP exerted any contractile effect on the tracheal strips. In tissues selectively denuded of epithelium, ATP-, ADP-, and AMP-PCP-induced relaxations were markedly reduced. ATP-induced relaxation was also inhibited by the P2y-purinoceptor antagonist Reactive Blue 2 (RB2) (50 to 300 microM) and partially reduced by the cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin (10 microM), whereas adenosine-induced relaxation was not significantly affected by these agents. These results suggest that ATP can induce smooth muscle relaxation in acetylcholine-contracted tracheal strips through a distinct P2-purinoceptor. This receptor appears to be located on the epithelium where its relaxant effect is mediated in part by release of one or more cyclooxygenase products. Additional relaxation at high ATP concentrations may occur through enzymatic hydrolysis of ATP to adenosine and interaction at P1-purinoceptors.

In the epithelial cell line FRT, derived from rat thyroid, extracellular ATP, at a concentration as low as 1 x 10(-7) M, specifically increases cytosolic Ca++ two fold over the basal level of 255 +/- 45 nM. A maximum increase of 5 fold over basal is seen at 1 x 10(-5) M ATP. The effect occurs in the absence of any measurable phosphatidyl inositol metabolism and requires the presence of extracellular Ca++, but is independent of extracellular Na+; it is duplicated by ATP gamma S but not by adenosine, AMP, ADP, AMP-PNP, AMP-CPP, or AMP-PCP. In the presence of the P2-receptor antagonist suramin, the ATP induced Ca++ influx is completely inhibited, whereas Mg++, La , and verapamil are ineffective. It appears that the most likely (and unique) mechanism of ATP induced increase of cytosolic Ca++ in FRT cells in an increased influx through the activation of a P2 receptor operated Ca++ channel.

3'-O-(4-benzoyl)benzoyl ATP (BzATP) was used as a photoaffinity analog of ATP to label potential ATP receptors in ciliated cells. Like ATP, without photoactivation, BzATP stimulated the ciliary beat frequency in tissue culture up to threefold. Irradiation of intact cells in the presence of [alpha-32P]BzATP followed by SDS-PAGE and autoradiography revealed two labeled proteins with molecular masses of 46 and 96 kDa (p46 and p96). Photolabeling of both proteins was susceptible to digestion with trypsin, implying that the labeled proteins are at least partially exposed on the extracellular surface of the plasma membrane. The dependence of 32P incorporation in both proteins on [alpha-32P]BzATP concentration was similar. Labeling of p46 but not p96 required Ca2+ or Mg2+. Various nucleotides stimulated the ciliary frequency, and inhibited the photolabeling of p46 and p96. The rank order of apparent affinity for p46 is: ATP approximately equal to ADP > GTP gamma S > ADP beta S, UTP, 2MeSATP, AMP-PNP > AMP-PCP > AMP > adenosine; for p96 it is: ADP approximately equal to ADP beta S > or = ATP >> AMP-PCP, AMP-PNP > GTP gamma S > or = AMP > 2MeSATP, UTP, adenosine. The rank of stimulation of ciliary beat frequency is: ADP beta S, UTP > or = 2MeSATP, GTP gamma S, AMP-PNP, ATP > or = ADP > AMP-PCP > adenosine > AMP. These results suggest the involvement of p46 in the stimulatory effect of extracellular ATP on the ciliary beat, as a P2 purinoceptor. On the other hand, p96 may represent a P2 purinoceptor or an ectonucleotidase.

Ca2+-activated K+ channels in the basolateral plasma membrane of bullfrog oxynticopeptic cells are intimately involved in the regulation of acid secretion. Patch-clamp techniques were applied to study the regulating mechanism of these channels. In the excised inside-out configuration, intracellular Mg2+ decreased channel activity in a dose-dependent manner. In the absence of Mg2+, administration of adenosine 5'-trisphosphate (ATP) to the cytoplasmic side also inhibited channel activity. On the other hand, in the presence of Mg2+, addition of ATP markedly increased channel activity. At a fixed concentration of free Mg2+, the Mg-ATP complex caused channel activation and shifted the dose response relationship between channel activity and the intracellular Ca2+ concentration to the left. A nonhydrolysable ATP analogue, adenosine 5'-[beta,gamma-imido]triphosphate (AMP-PNP) adenylyl [beta,gamma-methylene]diphosphate (AMP-PCP), could not substitute for ATP in channel activation, but a hydrolysable ATP analogue, adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (ATP[gammaS]) could do so. Furthermore, application of alkaline phosphatase to the cytoplasmic side inhibited channel activity. These results demonstrate that Ca2+-activated K+ channels are regulated by Mg2+ and ATP, and suggest that a phosphorylation reaction may be involved in the regulation mechanism of these channels.

We studied the ATP dependence of NHE-1, the ubiquitous isoform of the Na+/H+ antiporter, using the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique to apply nucleotides intracellularly while measuring cytosolic pH (pHi) by microfluorimetry. Na+/H+ exchange activity was measured as the Na(+)-driven pHi recovery from an acid load, which was imposed via the patch pipette. In Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) fibroblasts stably transfected with NHE-1, omission of ATP from the pipette solution inhibited Na+/H+ exchange. Conversely, ATP perfusion restored exchange activity in cells that had been metabolically depleted by 2-deoxy-D-glucose and oligomycin. In cells dialyzed in the presence of ATP, no "run-down" was observed even after extended periods, suggesting that the nucleotide is the only diffusible factor required for optimal NHE-1 activity. Half-maximal activation of the antiporter was obtained at approximately 5 mM Mg-ATP. Submillimolar concentrations failed to sustain Na+/H+ exchange even when an ATP regenerating system was included in the pipette solution. High ATP concentrations are also known to be required for the optimal function of other cation exchangers. In the case of the Na/Ca2+ exchanger, this requirement has been attributed to an aminophospholipid translocase, or "flippase.". The involvement of this enzyme in Na+/H+ exchange was examined using fluorescent phosphatidylserine, which is actively translocated by the flippase. ATP depletion decreased the transmembrane uptake of NBD-labeled phosphatidylserine (NBD-PS), indicating that the flippase was inhibited. Diamide, an agent reported to block the flippase, was as potent as ATP depletion in reducing NBD-PS uptake. However, diamide had no effect on Na+/H+ exchange, implying that the effect of ATP is not mediated by changes in lipid distribution across the plasma membrane. K-ATP and ATP gamma S were as efficient as Mg-ATP in sustaining NHE-1 activity, while AMP-PNP and AMP-PCP only partially substituted for ATP. In contrast, GTP gamma S was ineffective. We conclude that ATP is the only soluble factor necessary for optimal activity of the NHE-1 isoform of the antiporter. Mg2+ does not appear to be essential for the stimulatory effect of ATP. We propose that two mechanisms mediate the activation of the antiporter by ATP: one requires hydrolysis and is likely an energy-dependent event. The second process does not involve hydrolysis of the gamma-phosphate, excluding mediation by protein or lipid kinases. We suggest that this effect is due to binding of ATP to an as yet unidentified, nondiffusible effector that activates the antiporter.

1. Smooth muscle cells were isolated from guinea-pig basilar artery and conventional whole-cell recordings of Ca2+ channel activity were made at room temperature within 7 h of the isolation procedure. The purpose of the study was to investigate the mechanism of the stimulatory action of intracellular ATP on Ca2+ channels. 2. High (millimolar) concentrations of ATP were needed to produce stimulation of Ca2+ channels, and neither ADP nor AMP mimicked the action of ATP. 3. The ATP effect was not mimicked by stable ATP derivatives (AMP-PNP or AMP-PCP) and was abolished by incubation of cells in non-specific protein kinase inhibitors (staurosporine or H-7) or specific protein kinase C inhibitors (GF109203x, calphostin C or chelerythrine) but not by tyrosine kinase inhibitors (tyrphostin B42 and genistein). 4. The data suggest that ATP-induced stimulation of L-type Ca2+ channels requires functional activity of a protein kinase C isozyme.

1. In the whole-cell configuration of the patch clamp technique, isolated rat carotid body type I cells exhibited reversible activation of Cl- currents during cell swelling effected by hypotonic extracellular solutions. 2. Hypotonic solutions evoked outwardly rectifying, non-inactivating currents which showed time-independent activation. The reversal potential (E(rev)) for the hypotonically evoked current was 1.6 +/- 0.6 mV (n = 26). Reduction of extracellular Cl- from 133 to 65.5 mM caused a shift in E(rev) of +14.7 +/- 0.4 mV (n = 5). 3. The swelling-activated Cl- current could not activate when ATP was omitted from the patch pipette or when substituted for the non-hydrolysable ATP analogues 5'-adenylylimidodiphosphate, AMP-PNP (2 mM) or beta, gamma-methylene-adenosine 5'-triphosphate. AMP-PCP (2 mM). The current also failed to activate in the absence of free intracellular Ca2+. 4. The swelling-activated Cl- current was sensitive to blockade by the Cl- channel blockers niflumic acid (300 microM) and 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2, 2'-disulphonic acid (DIDS; 200 microM), although the blockade by DIDS was voltage dependent. 5. A similar, non-inactivating, outwardly rectifying Cl- current was evoked by the inclusion of cAMP (200 microM) in the patch pipette. This current could be inhibited by niflumic acid (300 microM), DIDS (200 microM) and hypertonic solutions, and was virtually abolished in the absence of intracellular ATP. 6. In conclusion, carotid body type I cells possess Cl- currents activated by cell swelling and rises in intracellular cAMP concentration. These currents may be involved in cell volume regulation, blood volume and osmolarity regulation and the response of the type I cell to chemostimuli.

Reticulomyxa transports particulates, like bacterial and algal prey items, bidirectionally along the outside of its pseudopodia. This cell surface transport and intracellular organelle transport can be reactivated in detergent permeabilized cell models [Orokos et al., 1997: Cell Motil. Cytoskeleton]. We have used this unique system to compare cell surface and organelle mechanochemistry in situ in the same reactivated pseudopodia. The ATPase activities of both types of transport were indistinguishable; each displayed identical nucleoside triphosphate specificity, transport ATPase kinetics, and inhibitor sensitivity. Organelle and cell surface transport reactivation required "hydrolyzable" adenosine nucleoside triphosphates; neither reactivated with GTP, CTP, UTP, ITP, AMP-PNP, AMP-PCP, or ATP-gamma-S. However, other ATP analogues, such as 2'-deoxy-ATP and 3'-deoxy-ATP and 2',3'-dideoxy-ATP, supported the reactivation of organelle and cell surface transport at similar, but markedly reduced, velocities. Both transport processes were inhibited similarly by known inhibitors of dynein ATPases such as erythro-9-(3-[2-hydroxynonyl]) adenine (EHNA) or sodium (Na)-orthovanadate. N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) and ultraviolet (UV) irradiation in the presence of Na-orthovanadate and ATP permanently disabled both transport processes. Organelle and surface transport followed identical Michaelis-Menten kinetics with a calculated Km of 118 microM ATP and a maximum translocation velocity (Vmax) of 8.33 microm/sec. These findings strongly suggest that cell surface transport shares the same cytoplasmic dynein motor [Schliwa et al., 1991: J. Cell Biol. 112:1199-1203] that drives organelle transport.

To study interactions between the contiguous NBD1 and R domains of CFTR, wild-type and DeltaF508 NBD1-R (amino acids 404-830, in fusion with His6 tag) were expressed as single proteins in Escherichia coli. NBD1-R (10-25 mg/L culture) was purified from inclusion bodies in 8 M urea by Ni-affinity chromatography, and renatured by rapid dilution at pH 5. In vitro phosphorylation by protein kinase A increased the apparent size of NBD1-R from approximately 52 to approximately 56 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The fluorescent ATP analogue TNP-ATP bound to renatured NBD1-R with of 0.81 +/- 0.1 microM (wild-type), 0.93 +/- 0.1 microM (wild-type, phosphorylated), 0.75 +/- 0.1 microM (DeltaF508 NBD1-R), and 0.72 +/- 0.1 microM (DeltaF508 NBD1-R, phosphorylated) with a stoichiometry of approximately 1 TNP-ATP site per NBD1-R molecule; TNP-ATP binding was reversed by ATP, AMP-PCP, and AMP-PNP with KIs of approximately 3.2, 4.2, and 4.6 mM, respectively. Secondary structure analysis by circular dichroism gave 19% alpha-helix, 43% beta-sheet and turn, and 38% "other" structure. To determine if nucleotide binding to NBD1 influenced R domain phosphorylation, NBD1-R was in vitro phosphorylated with protein kinase A and [gamma-32P]ATP in the presence of AMP-PCP, AMP-PNP, or TNP-ATP. Whereas the nucleotide analogues did not affect 32P-incorporation in control proteins (Kemptide, GST-R domain), phosphorylation of NBD1-R was reduced >75% by AMP-PNP or AMP-PCP (0.25 mM) and >50% by TNP-ATP (0.25 microM). Analysis of phosphorylation sites indicated that inhibition involved multiple sites in NBD1-R, including serines 660, 712, 737, 795, and 813. These results establish the conditions for NBD1-R expression, purification, and renaturation. The inhibition of R domain phosphorylation by nucleotide binding to the NBD1 domain indicates significant domain-domain interactions and suggests a novel mechanism for regulation of CFTR phosphorylation.
