Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicles, prepared from rabbit skeletal muscle, were characterized by functional and binding assays and incorporated into planar lipid bilayers. Single-channel activity was recorded in an asymmetric calcium buffer system and studied under voltage clamp conditions. Under these experimental conditions, a large conductance (100 pS in 50 mM Ca2+ trans) divalent cation selective channel displaying high ruthenium red and low Ca2+ sensitivity was identified. This pathway has been previously described as the Ca(2+)-release channel of the SR of skeletal muscle. We now report that in the presence of a Mg-ATP complex, the Ca2+ sensitivity of the open probability of this channel is increased. Furthermore, we show that micromolar cis Sr2+ concentrations also activated the Ca(2+)-release channel. The open probability of the Sr(2+)-activated channel was increased in the presence of a 2 mM Mg-ATP complex and adenine nucleotides on the cytoplasmic face of the Ca(2+)-release channel. These results were confirmed by isotopic flux measurements using passively 45Ca(2+)-loaded vesicles. In the latter case, the presence of extravesicular AMP-PCP (the nonhydrolysable ATP analog) enhanced the percentage of 45Ca2+ release induced either by Ca2+ or Sr2+ activation. In conclusion our findings emphasize the fact that the divalent cation activation of the Ca(2+)-release channel may be induced by Ca2+ and Sr2+, but not by Ba2+, in the presence of adenine nucleotides. Furthermore, they support the view that in situ Ca2+ and Mg-ATP complexes are involved in modulating the gating mechanism of this specific pathway.

The effect of the ADP receptor antagonists ATP and adenosine 5'-(beta, gamma-methylene)triphosphate (AMP-PCP), and the ADP-utilizing enzyme systems creatine phosphokinase/creatine phosphate (CPK/CP) and pyruvate kinase/phosphoenol pyruvate (PK/PEP) on platelet deposition onto type I collagen was examined. An in vitro perfusion system was used, which allowed continuous visualization of the deposition of fluorescently labelled platelets. This system also provide well-controlled rheology, precise quantification of deposition, and allowed the use of heparinized whole human blood (3 u/ml). Heparinization at this level permits the local generation of thrombin near surface platelet aggregates. The contribution of ADP is thus studied with the combined effects of thrombin, thromboxane A2, and other aggregating agents present. Results from these studies indicate that ATP was capable of inhibiting deposition by 60% at 1 microM and 90% at 5 microM (whole blood conc.). AMP-PCP inhibited deposition in a dose dependent manner with a Ki of approximately 80 microM and a maximum inhibition of 60%. Inhibition by CPK/CP was measured at 20, 40, and 60 u/ml, with approximately 45% inhibition achieved for the latter two concentrations. PK/PEP at 60 u/ml resulted in 70% inhibition. These results support a role for ADP in mediating platelet recruitment in thrombus growth on collagen. Previous work utilizing animal bleeding times supports this conclusion; the present study demonstrates that this role is not dependent upon endothelial or vasoconstrictive effects. Intraplatelet cAMP levels were raised with respect to controls upon exposure to ATP at 8.3 microM (p less than 0.025), and 15 microM (p less than 0.005), as well as AMP-PCP at 42-500 microM (p less than 0.005).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Effects of endotoxin administration on ryanodine receptor in canine cardiac junctional sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) were studied. The results show that the Bmax for [3H]ryanodine binding to cardiac junctional SR was decreased by 25% (8 +/- 0.38 vs 6 +/- 0.41 pmole/mg protein for control and endotoxic, respectively; (P less than 0.01) while the kd (13.7 +/- 1 nM for control vs 13.2 +/- 2 nM for endotoxic) was unaffected 4 hr following endotoxin administration. Ca2+ activated [3H]ryanodine binding in both groups sigmoidally but the Vmax for Ca2+ activation was decreased by 24% (P less than 0.05) while the S0.5 and the Hill coefficient values remained unchanged after endotoxin injection. Caffeine, ATP, and AMP-PCP activated while calmodulin, SKF-525A, ruthenium red, and Mg2+ inhibited [3H]ryanodine binding in both groups but the A0.5 (concentration requires for half-maximum activation) and the I50 (concentration requires for half-maximum inhibition) for the above-mentioned activators and inhibitors, respectively, were unaffected during endotoxin shock. Digestion of cardiac SR isolated from control dogs with phospholipase A2 inhibited [3H]ryanodine binding and the inhibition was reversed completely by the addition of phosphatidylserine. Addition of phosphatidylserine to cardiac SR isolated from endotoxic dogs stimulated [3H]ryanodine binding and the stimulation represents a complete reversal of the inhibition caused by endotoxin administration. Based on these findings together with previous observation that phospholipase A2 activity is activated during endotoxin shock, it is concluded that endotoxin administration decreases the number of ryanodine receptor in canine cardiac junctional SR and the decrease in ryanodine receptor is associated with a mechanism involving a modification of membrane lipid microenvironment in response to phospholipase A2 activation.

The (Ca(2+)-Mg2+)-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum was labeled with 4-(bromomethyl)-6,7-dimethoxycoumarin. It was shown that a single cysteine residue (Cys-344) was labeled on the ATPase, with a 25% reduction in steady-state ATPase activity and no reduction in the steady-state rate of hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate. The fluorescence intensity of the labeled ATPase was sensitive to pH, consistent with an effect of protonation of a residue of pK 6.8. Fluorescence changes were observed on binding Mg2+, consistent with binding to a single site of Kd 4 mM. Comparable changes in fluorescence intensity were observed on binding ADP in the presence of Ca2+. Binding of AMP-PCP produced larger fluorescence changes, comparable to those observed on phosphorylation with ATP or acetyl phosphate. Phosphorylation with P(i) also resulted in fluorescence changes; the effect of pH on the fluorescence changes was greater than that on the level of phosphorylation measured directly using [32P]P(i). It is suggested that different conformational states of the phosphorylated ATPase are obtained at steady state in the presence of Ca2+ and ATP and at equilibrium in the presence of P(i) and absence of Ca2+.

The effects of injection of various purinoceptor agonists into the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus in water-loaded and ethanol-anesthetized rats were investigated. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), beta,gamma-methyleneadenosine 5'-triphosphate (AMP-PCP) and beta,gamma-imidoadenosine 5'-triphosphate (AMP-PNP) potently decreased the outflow of urine in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The ED50 values were approx 70 and 37 nmol for ATP and AMP-PCP, respectively. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP), AMP and adenosine reduced the outflow of urine much less than ATP. Adenosine triphosphate induced concomitant increases in the osmotic pressure of the urine and in the level of arginine-vasopressin (AVP) in plasma. The antidiuretic effect of ATP was blocked by prior injection of quinidine (a P2-purinoceptor antagonist) into the paraventricular nucleus, but not by the prior injection of theophylline (a P1-purinoceptor antagonist). The effect of ATP was also blocked by intravenous injection of an AVP(V1V2)-receptor antagonist, d(CH2)5-D-Tyr(Et)VAVP. The results suggest that ATP injected into the paraventricular nucleus may stimulate a purinoceptor, releasing AVP and inducing the antidiuretic effect through renal AVP(V2) receptors.

Active gamma subunit of skeletal muscle phosphorylase kinase has been obtained by expression of the rat soleus cDNA in a baculovirus system. The protein exhibited the expected pH 6.8/8.2 activity ratio of 0.6, and its activity was insensitive to Ca2+ addition, indicating that it was free gamma subunit and not a gamma subunit-calmodulin complex. It was stimulated approximately 2-fold by Ca(2+)-calmodulin addition, demonstrating that it had retained high-affinity calmodulin binding. By site-directed mutagenesis, we have examined the role of six of the amino acids that constitute the consensus ATP binding site of the protein kinase, which in the gamma subunit is represented by the sequence 26Gly.Arg.Gly.Val.Ser.Ser.Val.Val33. Changes were evaluated by the kinetic determination of the dissociation constants of gamma-ATP, gamma-ADP, gamma-AMP.PCP, and gamma-phosphorylase and the maximum catalytic activity. The mutants Ser26-gamma, Ser29-gamma, Phe30-gamma, and Gly31-gamma each exhibited an essentially identical dissociation constant for gamma subunit phosphorylase, indicating that these mutations had not caused a global alteration in the protein structure but were limited to changes in the nucleotide binding site domain. Substitution of either Val33 (by Gly) or Gly28 (by Ser), two of the most conserved residues in all protein kinases, resulted in enzyme with marginally detectable activity. In noted contrast, the Ser26 mutant, which substituted the first glycine of the consensus glycine trio motif, and which is also very highly conserved, retained at least 25% of the enzymatic activity. The Gly31 substitution, which restored a glycine to a position characteristic for most protein kinases, had little overall effect upon the maximum rate of catalysis. Restoration of Ser30 to the more typical phenylalanine, which is present in most protein kinases, had minimal effect on catalysis. These data provide the first direct evaluation of the roles that different residues play within this consensus glycine trio/valine motif of the protein kinases, which up to now have only been surmised to be of importance because of their conservation. Two unexpected findings are that for one residue that is very conserved (Gly26) there is some flexibility of substitution not apparent from the evolutionary conservation and that a second quite conserved residue in protein kinases (equivalent to Gly at position 31) does not produce a protein optimized for nucleotide binding.

1. Patch-clamp recording techniques were used, to examine the effects of diazoxide on KATP currents in CRI-G1 insulin-secreting cells in the presence of non-hydrolysable nucleotides. 2. In the presence of non- or slowly-hydrolyzed ATP analogues, bathing the intracellular aspect of cell-free membrane patches diazoxide inhibited KATP channel activity. 3. Under whole-cell recording conditions, with various non-hydrolysable nucleotides present intracellularly (after dialysis), diazoxide induced KATP current activation. The largest activation occurred with Mg-adenylyl-(beta, gamma-methylene) diphosphate (Mg-AMP-PCP) present in the dialysing solution. This activation was diazoxide- and nucleotide-concentration-dependent. 4. In the absence of Mg2+, or in the presence of manganese (Mn2+) ions intracellularly, diazoxide did not induce KATP current activation, regardless of the species of nucleotide present in the pipette. 5. Intracellularly applied trypsin prevented the activation of KATP currents by diazoxide in the presence of Mg-AMP-PCP, an effect reversed by co-application of intracellular polymethylsulphonyl fluoride with the trypsin. 6. The application, by dialysis, of a CRI-G1 cell lysate, with negligible Mg-ATP, resulted in a substantial activation of the KATP current by diazoxide. 7. It is concluded that diazoxide can activate KATP channel currents by two separate pathways, one requiring a phosphorylation process, the other the presence of an intracellular protein coupled with a Mg-purine nucleotide.

Human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) respond to ATP with an elevation in intracellular calcium and a marked enhancement of O2-production in response to stimulation by the chemotactic peptide N'-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (FMLP). These pertussis toxin-sensitive pathways appear to be mediated by a nucleotide receptor(s) on the surface of human PMN. In the current study, we have examined the binding to intact human PMN of the ATP analog, adenosine 5'-O-(3-thio[35S] triphosphate) [( 35S]ATP gamma S). On the basis of Scatchard analysis, the binding of [35S]ATP gamma S involves at least two sites, one of high and one of low affinity. In the presence of sodium thiophosphate, a compound which did not affect intracellular increases in calcium induced by ATP or N'-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe, a significant fraction of the [35S]ATP gamma S binding was eliminated. This reduction involved both high and low affinity binding of [35S]ATP gamma S and was related to a reduction in numbers of binding sites. The Kd values for the high affinity binding site were unaffected by the presence of sodium thiophosphate, although the low affinity Kd values were numerically increased by 2-fold. In the presence of thiophosphate, [35S]ATP gamma S binding was specific, saturable, and reversible, and was related to a single class of high affinity (Kd = 36 +/- 19 nM) binding sites (184 +/- 144 sites/cell), together with a second class of low affinity (Kd = 1110 +/- 503 nM) binding sites (13,562 +/- 6,851 sites/cells). Competitive binding experiments, based on the ability of nucleotides and ATP analogs to block [35S]ATP gamma S binding to PMN, revealed a rank order of ATP gamma S greater than ATP greater than 2-MeS-ATP = 8-Bromo ATP greater than ADP = ITP greater than AMP-PCP = GTP much greater than CTP. A comparison between the ability of nucleotides to compete with [35S]ATP gamma S binding and their ability to induce a biologic response (elevation of intracellular calcium) revealed a close correlation (r2 = 0.83). These findings support the possibility of a common nucleotide PMN receptor functionally linked to a cellular response which involves increases in intracellular calcium.

Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) activity in whole homogenates of mouse pancreatic islets decreased 60-85% when the homogenates were incubated at 37 degrees C for 1 h in the presence of down to micromolar concentrations of Ca2+. Ca(2+)-induced inactivation was augmented by calmodulin, the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate in the presence of ATP-Mg, and by Mg2+. Inactivation was inhibited when ATP was removed and completely abolished by trifluoperazine and EGTA. Inactivation was not affected by the non-phosphorylating ATP analogue, AMP-PCP, GMP-PNP, glucose, Zn2+ or a series of protease inhibitors. These observations suggest that PI-PLC in broken cell preparations of pancreatic islets may be inactivated via phosphorylation by Ca(2+)-calmodulin-stimulated protein kinase and/or protein kinase C. Inactivation of PI-PLC was reversible. Reactivation started after approx. 2 h incubation, when the concentration of ATP in the homogenate was below 0.15 x 10(-6) M. PI-PLC activity returned to values approx. 25% higher than the initial values. PI-PLC inactivation via phosphorylation by the mentioned protein kinases may constitute a feedback control on the phosphoinositide response, attenuating subsequent diacylglycerol formation and/or Ca2+ mobilization by inositol trisphosphate.

It has been demonstrated previously that dicarboxylic anions are cotransported during ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport by skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membranes, and that anion cotransport stimulates Ca2+ transport. In the current study, we present evidence that dicarboxylic anion cotransport and Ca2+ transport are kinetically distinct in SR, but both functions are mediated by the CaATPase protein. Preincubation of SR with 40 microM fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) (pH 7.0) inhibited essentially all of the Ca2+ ATPase activity, as well as active oxalate-supported and oxalate-independent 45Ca2+ accumulation. The addition of 1 mM beta, gamma-methyleneadenosine 5'-triphosphate (AMP-PCP) to the preincubation media fully protected the dicarboxylic anion-independent Ca2+ ATPase activity and the oxalate-independent active 45Ca2+ accumulation from the inhibitory effects of FITC; however, the ATP-associated [14C]oxalate accumulation, the oxalate-dependent 45Ca2+ accumulation, and the oxalate- and maleate-dependent stimulation of Ca2+ ATPase activity were not protected by AMP-PCP. Thus, the dicarboxylic anion accumulation and the stimulation of Ca2+ uptake by dicarboxylic anions could be functionally separated from the ATP-dependent, anion-independent Ca2+ translocation. FITC bound exclusively to the 100-kDa (CaATPase) and 92-kDa (phosphorylase) proteins in the SR membranes and to purified CaATPase in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; 1 mM AMP-PCP inhibited 50-55% of the FITC fluorescence on the 100-kDa protein, but did not significantly alter fluorescence on the 92-kDa protein. Two-dimensional gel analysis demonstrated a single 100-kDa protein in longitudinal SR membranes. FITC appears to inhibit ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport, and dicarboxylic anion translocation through interaction at separate domains of the CaATPase protein.
