3H-labeled 9-methyl-7-bromoeudistomin D ([3H]MBED), a powerful caffeine-like Ca2+ releaser, binds to the caffeine binding site of terminal cisternae (TC) of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) (Fang, Y-I., Adachi, M., Kobayashi, J., and Ohizumi, Y. (1993). J. Biol. Chem. 268, 18622-18625.) and activates Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release (CICR). [3H]MBED, however, bound to rabbit hepatic microsomes with a comparable affinity (Kd = 50 nM) and with a more than 30-fold greater receptor density (Bmax = 350 pmol/mg of protein), compared with those in SR. Caffeine (0.1-10 mM) caused a concentration dependent inhibition of [3H]MBED binding to hepatic microsomes with the IC50 value of 0.3 mM. The mode of inhibition by caffeine was allosteric, indicating that the binding site of the ligand is distinct from but related to that of caffeine. Procaine (1-10 mM), a representative inhibitor of CICR, which suppresses [3H]MBED binding to TC-SR, inhibited ligand binding to hepatic microsomes only slightly. Moreover, ligand binding to the hepatic binding site was not affected by adenosine 5'-(beta, gamma-methylene) triphosphate (AMP-PCP) (10-100 microM), which is an activator of CICR and potentiates [3H]MBED binding to TC-SR. Inhibitors of [3H]MBED binding to liver microsomes other than caffeine were nucleotides such as ADP, ATP, GTP, UTP (1 mM), while CTP, cAMP, AMP, adenosine (1 mM), ryanodine (0.1-100 mM) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (1 microM) were not effective. These features of the hepatic microsomal [3H]MBED binding site distinguish it from that of skeletal muscle SR. [3H]MBED, which binds to the different sites which are both sensitive to caffeine, is useful as a probe to investigate the actions of caffeine at the molecular level.

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.

The structure of Ca(2+)-ATPase has been studied by electron microscopy of two different crystal forms: one tubular form induced by vanadate in native sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membranes and another multilamellar form grown from detergent-solubilized SR. To determine the conformation of Ca(2+)-ATPase within each crystal form, the respective effects of Ca2+, thapsigargin, adenosine 5'-(beta, gamma-methylene)triphosphate) (AMP-PCP), and chromium(III) (Cr-ATP) on crystallization have been studied. Vanadate-induced tubes were prevented from forming by micromolar Ca2+, but if preformed in the absence of Ca2_, millimolar Ca2+ was required to disrupt these crystals. Thapsigargin promoted tube formation even in the presence of 10 mM Ca2+. Neither AMP-PCP nor Cr-ATP prevented tube formation, and the Ca2+ sensitivity of tube formation from Cr-ATP-inhibited SR was identical to controls. Multilamellar crystals required at least 0.2 mM Ca2+ and were prevented from forming by thapsigargin, AMP-PCP, or Cr-ATP. It is concluded that helical tubes are composed of the Ca(2+)-free, dephosphorylated conformation (E), and the nucleotide-bound conformation (E-ATP) is also tolerated. In contrast, multilamellar crystals are composed of the Ca(2+)-bound conformation (E.Ca2) and do not tolerate nucleotide binding. Thus, comparison of structures obtained from the two crystal forms should reveal physiologically relevant conformational differences.

[3H]Ryanodine binding studies of ryanodine receptors in brain membrane preparations typically require the presence of high salt concentrations in assay incubations to yield optimal levels of binding. Here, radioligand binding measurements on rat cerebral cortical tissues were conducted under high (1.0 M KCl) and low (200 mM KCl) salt buffer conditions to determine the effects of ionic strength on receptor binding properties as well as on modulation of ligand binding by Ca2+, Mg2+, beta, gamma-methylene-adenosine 5'-triphosphate (AMP-PCP), and caffeine. In 1.0 M KCl buffer, labeled titration/equilibrium analyses yielded two classes of binding sites with apparent KD (nM) and Bmax (fmol/mg of protein) values of 2.4 and 34, respectively, for the high-affinity site and 19.9 and 157, respectively, for the low-affinity site. Unlabeled titration/equilibrium measurements gave a single high-affinity site with a KD value of 1.9 nM and a Bmax value of 95 fmol/mg of protein. The apparent KD value derived from association and dissociation studies was 20 pM. Equilibrium binding was activated by Ca2+ (KD/Ca2+ = 14 nM), inhibited by Mg2+ (IC50 = 5.0 mM), and unaffected by AMP-PCP or caffeine. In 200 mM KCl buffer conditions, labeled titration analyses gave only a single site with a KD value similar to and a Bmax value 1.8-fold greater than those obtained for the low-affinity site in 1.0 M KCl buffer. In unlabeled titration measurements, the KD value was fivefold lower, whereas the Bmax value was unaffected. The KD value derived from association and dissociation analysis was 2.4-fold greater in 200 mM KCl compared with 1.0 M KCl buffer conditions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The hepatocyte has an organic anion transport system that recognizes compounds such as bilirubin and sulfobromophthalein. These anions circulate bound tightly to albumin from which they are extracted rapidly by hepatocytes by an electroneutral process that requires extracellular inorganic anions such as Cl- for activity. Transport activity is reduced by depletion of intracellular ATP, but whether ATP interacts directly with this transporter is not known. In this study, the influence of extracellular ATP on the hepatocyte organic anion transport mechanism has been characterized. In the presence of 2.5 mM Ca2+ and 2 mM Mg2+, initial uptake of [35S]sulfobromophthalein was reduced by 50% at 1 mM ATP. In the absence of divalent cations sensitivity to ATP was 10-fold greater. Other nucleotides including UTP, CTP, GTP, ADP, AMP, and AMP-PCP (adenosine 5'-(beta,gamma-methylene)triphosphate) were inactive. Decreased transport activity was rapidly reversible, was non-competitive with respect to ATP, did not require ATP hydrolysis, and did not correlate with P2y purinergic receptor activity. Differential activity of ATP on sulfobromophthalein transport in the presence and absence of divalent cations was not due to ecto-ATPase activity but rather to alteration in [ATP4-]. Although an ATP4- receptor in macrophages mediates increased cellular permeability, reduced organic anion permeability is seen in hepatocytes. This effect is not seen in the hepatoma cell line HepG2. Modulation of activity of the organic anion transporter by extracellular ATP may have important pathophysiological consequences in conditions resulting in liver cell injury.

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.

1. The regulation of the cardiac Ca2+ release channel-ryanodine receptor (RyR) by exogenous acid phosphatase (AcPh) and purified Ca(2+)-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) was studied in swine and rabbit sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicles using [3H]ryanodine binding and planar bilayer reconstitution experiments. 2. Addition of AcPh (1-20 U ml-1) to a standard incubation medium increased [3H]ryanodine binding in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner. Stimulation was only readily apparent in media containing micromolar Ca2+ concentrations. 3. Scatchard analysis of [3H]ryanodine binding curves revealed that AcPh enhanced binding by increasing the affinity of the receptor for [3H]ryanodine without recruiting additional receptor sites (Kd, 9.8 +/- 0.85 and 3.9 +/- 0.65 nM; Bmax (the maximal receptor density), 1.45 +/- 0.14 and 1.47 +/- 0.12 pmol mg-1 for control and AcPh, respectively). The failure of AcPh to increase Bmax suggested that the number of receptors that were 'dormant' due to phosphorylation in the SR preparation was very small. 4. At the single channel level, AcPh increased the open probability (Po) of RyR channels by increasing the opening rate and inducing the appearance of a longer open state while having no effect on single channel conductance. Thus AcPh acted directly on RyR channels or a closely associated regulatory protein. 5. CaMKII decreased both [3H]ryanodine binding and Po of RyRs when added to medium supplemented with micromolar levels of Ca2+ and calmodulin (CaM). Addition of a synthetic peptide inhibitor of CaMKII, or replacement of ATP with the non-hydrolysable ATP analogue adenylyl[beta, gamma-methylene]-diphosphate (AMP-PCP), prevented CaMKII inhibition of RyRs, suggesting that CaMKII acted specifically through a phosphorylation mechanism. 6. The inhibition of RyR channel activity by CaMKII was reversed by the addition of AcPh. Thus we showed that an in vitro phosphorylation-dephosphorylation mechanism effectively regulates RyRs. 7. The results suggest that intracellular signalling pathways that lead to activation of CaMKII may reduce efflux of Ca2+ from the SR by inhibition of RyR channel activity. The Ca2+ dependence of CaMKII inhibition suggests that the role of the phosphorylation mechanism is to modulate the RyR response to Ca2+.

Neuropeptide Y(NPY) inhibits Ca2+-activated K+ channels reversibly in vascular smooth muscle cells from the rat tail artery. NPY (200 microM) had no effect in the absence of intracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) and when the metabolic poison cyanide-M-chlorophenyl hydrozone (10 microM) was included in the intracellular pipette solution. NPY was also not effective when ATP was substituted by the non-hydrolysable ATP analogue adenosine 5'-[beta gamma-methylene]-triphosphate (AMP-PCP). NPY inhibited Ca2+-activated K+ channel activity when ATP was replaced by adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (ATP [gamma-S]) and the inhibition was not readily reversed upon washing. Protein kinase inhibitor (1 microM), a specific inhibitor of adenosine 3', 5'-cyclic monophosphate-dependent protein kinase, had no significant effect on the inhibitory action of NPY. The effect of NPY on single-channel activity was inhibited by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein (10 microM) but not by daidzein, an inactive analogue of genistein. These observations suggest that the inhibition by NPY of Ca2+-activated K+ channels is mediated by ATP-dependent phosphorylation. The inhibitory effect of NPY was antagonized by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein.
