L-Adenyl 5'-(beta, gamma-methylene)-diphosphonate (L-AMP-PCP), a potent ATP receptor agonist in the guinea-pig bladder, was tested on the guinea-pig taenia coli. L-AMP-PCP, unlike ATP, did not relax the taenia coli, and it neither enhanced nor inhibited the action of ATP. Unlike ATP, L-AMP-PCP was not degraded by ectonucleotidases on the taenia coli. The lack of pharmacological effect of L-AMP-PCP on the taenia coli supports the suggestion that the ATP receptors here differ from those in the guinea-pig bladder.

When the effects of varying concentrations of ATP on the dissociation rate of the ouabain-enzyme complex were studied, the dissociation rate constant increased with increasing ATP concentrations up to 1 mM, and then decreased with further rise in ATP; indicating that ATP binds to two distinct sites on the complex. ADP and AMP-PNP had similar biphasic effects. GTP, CTP, UTP, and AMP-PCP reduced the dissociation rate. AMP and Pi had no effects. Increase in dissociation rate caused by 0.5 mM ATP was not abolished by saturating CTP, indicating the binding of CTP to only one of the two ATP sites. The data suggest the existence of separate catalytic and regulatory sites, with different affinities and nucleotide specificities.

There are at least four forms of DNA-dependent ATPase in mouse FM3A cells [Tawaragi, Y., Enomoto, T., Watanabe, Y., Hanaoka, F., & Yamada, M. (1984) Biochemistry 23, 529-533]. One of these, ATPase B, has been purified and characterized in detail. During the purification of the enzyme, we encountered the difficulties that the enzyme could not be recovered well from the single-stranded DNA-cellulose column and that the enzyme activity was distributed very broadly. The problems were resolved by the addition of ATP in the elution buffer. The ATPase has a sedimentation coefficient of 5.5 S in both high salt and low salt. The enzyme hydrolyzes rNTPs and dATP, but ATP and dATP are preferred substrates. Adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (ATP-gamma-S), 5'-adenylyl methylenediphosphate (AMP-PCP), and 5'-adenylyl imidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP) inhibit the enzyme activity. The enzyme is insensitive to ouabain, oligomycin, novobiocin, and ethidium bromide. A divalent cation (Mg2+ congruent to Mn2+ greater than Ca2+) as well as a nucleic acid cofactor is required for activity. Poly(dT), single-stranded circular DNA, and heat-denatured DNA were very effective. Native DNA was little effective with an efficiency of 29% of that obtained with heat-denatured DNA. In addition, the enzyme showed almost no activity with poly(dA).poly(dT) although it showed very high activity with the noncomplementary combination of poly(dT) and poly(dC), suggesting that ATPase B requires single-stranded DNA for activity. ATP altered the affinity of ATPase B for single-stranded DNA. The interaction of the enzyme with DNA was studied by Sephadex G-200 gel filtration assay.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

During chondrogenesis in vivo and in vitro, a family of nonhistone proteins (Mr 35,500), designated PCP 35.5, is lost from the nuclei of precartilage mesenchyme cells. A basic subcomponent of this family, designated PCP 35.5b, is phosphorylated during the first few hours of chondrogenesis in vitro by a phosphorylating system whose activity is enhanced 12- to 15-fold by exposure of differentiating precartilage cells to dibutyryl cyclic AMP. This phosphorylating system is present in isolated precartilage cell nuclei, where it retains its dependence on cyclic AMP and its specificity for PCP 35.5b. Assays for nuclear cyclic AMP inhibitable protein phosphatase activity capable of dephosphorylating PCP 35.5b were negative, indicating that the system responsible for phosphorylating this protein is a cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase. Chromatin fractionation studies indicate that PCP 35.5b is localized at sites previously shown to be closely associated with DNase I-sensitive domains of precartilage cell chromatin. These studies define PCP 35.5b as a strategically located component of precartilage cell chromatin which is the major or sole chromatin target of cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation during chondrogenesis. This chromatin modification occurs prior to overt cartilage differentiation and may therefore play a regulatory role in the acquisition of the cartilage cell phenotype.

The present studies show that hydrolysis of a phosphodiester bond, most likely ATP, is a distinct, second step required to complete import of the F1-ATPase beta-subunit into the mitochondria. This step follows a membrane potential-dependent first step. We show, using an inhibitor of adenine nucleotide transport and the analogue beta,gamma-AMP-PCP, that the activity required for this phosphodiester hydrolysis-dependent completion of protein import resides outside the mitochondrial inner membrane. This activity is proposed to act on the precursor at the site of translocation either to render it competent or to catalyze its vectorial movement directly through the import apparatus. This activity shares properties ascribed to proteins of the heat-shock family, which are proposed to participate in the ATP-dependent refolding of partially denatured proteins and nascent peptides.

A soluble ATP/Mg2-dependent proteolytic system from rabbit cardiac muscle has been identified (m ca. 310 kDa) and purified ca. 9-fold. This enzyme which splits the substrate [3H]globin and 125I-bovine serum albumin (125I-BSA) has many similarities to the ATP-dependent proteolytic enzyme system from reticulocytes which utilizes ubiquitin: 1) The specific activities in reticulocyte lysates and cardiac muscle extracts are of the same magnitude (0.5-1 arb. unit/mg). 2) The binding and elution behavior on DEAE-cellulose is similar. 3) In both cases the pH optimum (substrate 125I-BSA) is pH 7.6. 4) Both enzymes are inhibited by hemin, NEM and iodoacetate but not e.g. by leupeptin, or inhibitors of serine proteases. 5) Neither enzyme system can utilize ATP-analogs such as AMP-CPP, AMP-PCP, AMP-PNP or ATP-gamma-S. There are however also significant differences: 1) The enzyme system from cardiac muscle is fully active in the absence of ubiquitin and cannot be activated by this peptide. 2) The enzyme from cardiac muscle can degrade methylated BSA. 3) The cardiac muscle enzyme can be further purified on Sepharose 4B; the enzyme from reticulocytes is inactivated by this procedure. 4) The cardiac enzyme cannot be inactivated by ribonuclease as the reticulocyte counterpart. Although ubiquitin does not appear to play a role in the isolated ATP/Mg2-dependent proteolytic system from cardiac muscle, it is demonstrated for the first time that 125I-ubiquitin can be conjugated to a wide variety of cardiac muscle proteins in vitro in an ATP-dependent manner. Apparent molecular masses of major conjugates were: 185 kDa, 140 kDa, 85 kDa, 65 kDa, 46 kDa, 38 kDa and 36 kDa as estimated by discontinuous SDS gel electrophoresis. Addition of purified phosphorylase kinase to cardiac muscle extract changed the ubiquitination pattern by the appearance of two novel protein bands. It is concluded that the ATP/Mg2-dependent proteolytic system of cardiac muscle must be differentiated from the proteolytic system of reticulocytes mainly because of its ubiquitin-independence. Nevertheless the conjugation of 125I-ubiquitin to many muscle proteins is a strong indication for a crucial role of this interesting peptide in striated muscle.

K+ currents were recorded from ATP-sensitive channels in inside-out membrane patches excised from isolated rat ventricular myocytes. ATP-sensitive K+ channel inhibition could be evoked by ATP in the absence of magnesium where most ATP would be present as the free acid ATP4-. Channel inhibition was enhanced when the same total concentration of ATP was applied in the presence of magnesium, where most ATP would be bound as ATP.Mg. Dose-response relationships for ATP-sensitive K+ channel inhibition evoked by ATP had a Hill coefficient of 2 and Ki of 17 and 30 microM for ATP in the presence and absence of magnesium respectively. This was the obverse of the expected results if ATP4- were to be the sole form of ATP to effect channel closure. ATP-sensitive K+ channel inhibition evoked by ATP gamma S, AMP-PNP and AMP-PCP was also enhanced in the presence of magnesium. It is concluded that the ATP-sensitive K+ channel of rat ventricular myocytes binds and is closed by both the free-acid and divalent-cation-bound forms of ATP.

The binding and cross-linking of the ATP photoaffinity analogue 8-azidoadenosine 5'-triphosphate (azido-ATP) with recA protein have been investigated, and through cross-linking inhibition studies, the binding of other nucleotide cofactors to recA protein has also been studied. The azido-ATP molecule was shown to be a good ATP analogue with regard to recA protein binding and enzymatic function by three criteria: first, the cross-linking follows a simple hyperbolic binding curve with a Kd of 4 microM and a cross-linking efficiency ranging from 10% to 70% depending on conditions; second, ATP, dATP, and adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (ATP-gamma-S) specifically inhibit the cross-linking of azido-ATP to recA protein; third, azido-ATP is a substrate for recA protein ATPase activity. Quantitative analysis of the cross-linking inhibition studies using a variety of nucleotide cofactors as competitors has shown that the binding affinity of adenine-containing nucleotides for recA protein decreases in the following order: ATP-gamma-S greater than dATP greater than ATP greater than adenylyl beta,gamma-imidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP) much greater than adenylyl beta,gamma-methylenediphosphate (AMP-PCP) approximately adenine. Similar competition studies also showed that nearly all of the other nucleotide triphosphates also bind to recA protein, with the affinity decreasing in the following order: UTP greater than GTP approximately equal to dCTP greater than dGTP greater than CTP. In addition, studies performed in the presence of single-stranded DNA demonstrated that the affinity of ATP, dATP, ATP-gamma-S, and AMP-PNP for recA protein is significantly increased. These results are discussed in terms of the reciprocal effects that nucleotide cofactors have on the modulation of recA protein--single-stranded DNA binding affinity and vice versa. In addition, it is demonstrated that nucleotide and DNA binding are necessary though not sufficient conditions for ATPase activity. The significance of this result in terms of the possible requirement of critically sized clusters of 15 or more recA protein molecules contiguously bound to DNA for ATPase activity is discussed.

Isopolar methylene phosphonate analogues of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) were synthesized and tested on the guinea-pig isolated taenia coli (where ATP causes relaxation) and urinary bladder (where ATP causes contraction), to see if restoration of the electronegativity of the methylene linkage would enhance pharmacological potency. The compounds used were the dichloromethylene and difluoromethylene analogues of adenosine 5'-(beta,gamma-methylene)triphosphonate (AMP-PCP), L-adenosine 5'-(beta,gamma-methylene)triphosphonate (L-AMP-PCP) and 2-methylthioadenosine 5'-(beta,gamma-methylene)-triphosphonate (2-methylthio-AMP-PCP). The order of potency of the analogues depended on the tissue, and was independent of the nature of the purine or ribose moieties. None of the analogues was degraded by ectonucleotidases on either tissue. In the taenia coli the order of potency for relaxation was difluoromethylene greater than or equal to dichloromethylene greater than methylene, and this reflected the order of electronegativity of the analogues. The isopolar analogues of L-AMP-PCP were inactive in the taenia coli. In the bladder the order of potency for contraction was difluoromethylene greater than or equal to methylene greater than dichloromethylene, suggesting that electronegativity is of lesser importance here. The isopolar analogues of L-AMP-PCP were active in this tissue. The differences between the two tissues in the order of potency for these non-degradable analogues supports suggestions that P2-purinoceptors in the taenia coli (P2Y) are different from those in the bladder (P2X). The isopolar analogues of L-AMP-PCP, like L-AMP-PCP itself, were selective agonists at the P2X-purinoceptor.

A radioisotope flux-rapid-quench-Millipore filtration method is described for determining the effects of Ca2+, adenine nucleotides, and Mg2+ on the Ca2+ release behaviour of "heavy" sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicles. Rapid 45Ca2+ efflux from passively loaded vesicles was blocked by the addition of Mg2+ and ruthenium red. At pH 7 and 10(-9) M Ca2+, vesicles released 45Ca2+ with a low rate (k = 0.1 s-1). An increase in external Ca2+ concentration to 4 microM or the addition of 5 mM ATP or the ATP analogue adenosine 5'-(beta,gamma-methylenetriphosphate) (AMP-PCP) resulted in intermediate 45Ca2+ release rates. The maximal release rate was observed in media containing 4 microM Ca2+ and 5 mM AMP-PCP and had a first-order rate constant of 30-100 s-1. Mg2+ partially inhibited Ca2+- and nucleotide-induced 45Ca2+ efflux. In the absence of AMP-PCP, 45Ca2+ release was fully inhibited at 5 mM Mg2+ or 5 mM Ca2+. The composition of the release media was systematically varied, and the flux data were expressed in the form of Hill equations. The apparent n values of activation of Ca2+ release by ATP and AMP-PCP were 1.6-1.9. The Hill coefficient of Ca2+ activation (n = 0.8-2.1) was dependent on nucleotide and Mg2+ concentrations, whereas the one of Mg2+ inhibition (n = 1.1-1.6) varied with external Ca2+ concentration. These results suggest that heavy SR vesicles contain a "Ca2+ release channel" which is capable of conducting Ca2+ at rates comparable with those found in intact muscle. Ca2+, AMP-PCP (ATP), and Mg2+ appear to act at noninteracting or interacting sites of the channel.
