We recently proposed a structural model for the ATP-dependent proton pump from clathrin-coated vesicles (Arai, H., Terres, G., Pink, S., and Forgac, M. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 8796-8802). To test this model further, we have carried out additional structural analysis of the (H+)-ATPase in both the detergent-solubilized and reconstituted states in this and the following paper (Adachi, I., Puopolo, K., Marquez-Sterling, N., Arai, H., and Forgac, M. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 967-973). The orientation of the reconstituted proton pump was determined by analyzing the effect of detergent on ATP hydrolysis and by quantitating the extent of labeling of luminally oriented subunits using a membrane-impermeant reagent. Greater than 90% of the reconstituted (H+)-ATPase is oriented with the cytoplasmic surface facing outward. Treatment of the reconstituted (H+)-ATPase with trypsin results in rapid cleavage of the 100-, 73-, 58-, 38-, and 34-kDa subunits and slower cleavage of the 40- and 33-kDa subunits, consistent with our previous results indicating that all of these polypeptides have some portion of their mass exposed to the cytoplasmic surface. The 19- and 17-kDa subunits, by contrast, appear resistant to cleavage by trypsin in both the detergent-solubilized and reconstituted states, consistent with their being buried extensively in the hydrophobic phase of the bilayer. Treatment of the enzyme with trypsin under conditions in which the 100-, 73-, 58-, 38-, and 34-kDa subunits have been cleaved results in a species which is virtually inactive with respect to proton transport but retains 50% of the original ATPase activity, suggesting that proteolysis has resulted in uncoupling of these two activities. Cleavage of both the 73- and 58-kDa subunits by trypsin at a site 1-2 kDa from the amino terminus is inhibited in the presence of 2',3'-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-ATP, consistent with the suggestion that both the 73- and 58-kDa subunits may be nucleotide binding proteins.

The clathrin-coated vesicle proton translocating complex is composed of a maximum of eight polypeptides. The function of the components of this system have not been defined. Proton pumping catalyzed by the reconstituted, 200-fold purified proton translocating complex of clathrin-coated vesicles is inhibited 50% at a dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD)/protein ratio of 0.66 mumol of DCCD/mg of protein. At an identical DCCD/protein ratio, the 17-kDa component of the proton pump is labeled by [14C]DCCD. Through toluene extraction, the 17-kDa subunit has been isolated from the holoenzyme. The 17-kDa polypeptide diminished proteoliposome acidification when coreconstituted with either bacteriorhodopsin or the intact clathrin-coated vesicle proton translocating ATPase. In both instances, treatment of the 17-kDa polypeptide with DCCD restored proteoliposome acidification. Moreover, the proton-conducting activity of the 17-kDa polypeptide is abolished by trypsin digestion. These results demonstrate that the 17-kDa polypeptide present in the isolated proton ATPase of clathrin-coated vesicles is a subunit which functions as a transmembranous proton pore.

During endocytosis in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, Semliki Forest virus (SFV) passes through two distinct subpopulations of endosomes before reaching lysosomes. One subpopulation, defined by cell fractionation using free flow electrophoresis as "early endosomes," constitutes the major site of membrane and receptor recycling; while "late endosomes," an electrophoretically distinct endosome subpopulation, are involved in the delivery of endosomal content to lysosomes. In this paper, the pH-sensitive conformational changes of the SFV E1 spike glycoprotein were used to study the acidification of these defined endosome subpopulations in intact wild-type and acidification-defective CHO cells. Different virus strains were used to measure the kinetics at which internalized SFV was delivered to endosomes of pH less than or equal to 6.2 (the pH at which wild-type E1 becomes resistant to trypsin digestion) vs. endosomes of pH less than or equal to 5.3 (the threshold pH for E1 of the SFV mutant fus-1). By correlating the kinetics of acquisition of E1 trypsin resistance with the transfer of SFV among distinct endosome subpopulations defined by cell fractionation, we found that after a brief residence in vesicles of relatively neutral pH, internalized virus encountered pH less than or equal to 6.2 in early endosomes with a t1/2 of 5 min. Although a fraction of the virus reached a pH of less than or equal to 5.3 in early endosomes, most fus-1 SFV did not exhibit the acid-induced conformational change until arrival in late endosomes (t1/2 = 8-10 min). Thus, acidification of both endosome subpopulations was heterogeneous. However, passage of SFV through a less acidic early endosome subpopulation always preceded arrival in the more acidic late endosome subpopulation. In mutant CHO cells with temperature-sensitive defects in endosome acidification in vitro, acidification of both early and late endosomes was found to be impaired at the restrictive temperature (41 degrees C). The acidification defect was also found to be partially penetrant at the permissive temperature, resulting in the inability of any early endosomes in these cells to attain pH less than or equal to 5.3. In vitro studies of endosomes isolated from mutant cells suggested that the acidification defect is most likely in the proton pump itself. In one mutant, this defect resulted in increased sensitivity of the electrogenic H+ pump to fluctuations in the endosomal membrane potential.

The mitochondrial energy-linked transhydrogenase enzyme catalyzes hydride ion transfer between NAD and HADP, of which the reaction NADH leads to NADP is slow in the absence of energy and is accelerated 10-fold or more when the mitochondrial membrane is energized by ATP hydrolysis or respiration. The enzyme is a proton pump and effects proton translocation coupled to hydride ion transfer from NADPH to NAD (Earle, S.R., and Fisher, R.R. (1980) J. Biol Chem. 255, 827-830). The present studies have shown that submitochondrial particles also catalyze transhydrogenation from NADPH to two NADP analogs, namely 3-acetylpyridine adenine dinucleotide phosphate (AcPyADP) and thionicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (thioNADP). Both reaction rates are greatly accelerated when the system is energized by ATP hydrolysis (inhibitable by uncouplers or rutamycin) or succinate oxidation (inhibitable by uncouplers or antimycin A). As in the case of NAD(H) in equilibrium with NADP(H) reactions, the transhydrogenations from NADPH to AcPyADP and thioNADP are inhibited by treatment of submitochondrial particles with trypsin or the arginyl residue modifier, butanedione. The Km values of the above substrates and the Vmax values under energy-linked conditions have been determined. The finding that the mitochondrial energy-linked transhydrogenase enzyme catalyzes transhydrogenation from NADPH to NADP analogs has revealed features regarding substrate site specificities and the effect of substrates on the directionality of proton translocation by the enzyme.

The new CCK-B/gastrin receptor antagonist PD 136450 is of potential value in treating neurologic and psychiatric disorders. We investigated possible side effects on the rat pancreas using acute and chronic administration schedules. In chronic experiments, four groups of rats were given either PD 136450, the proton pump inhibitor BY 308 (in order to induce hypergastrinemia), a combination of both, or control solutions over 14 d. Pancreatic growth, DNA, and protein content were significantly increased in rats given PD 136450 irrespective of circulating gastrin levels. Furthermore, an anticoordinate shift in pancreatic enzyme content in favor of trypsin and chymotrypsin at the expense of amylase and lipase was observed. Plasma CCK levels remained unchanged in this group making a role of circulating hormone unlikely. In order to investigate a possible direct agonist effect of the CCK-B/gastrin receptor antagonist, we studied amylase release from isolated rat pancreatic acini in response to PD 136450 and sulfated CCK8 alone and in combination with the specific CCK-A receptor antagonist MK 329. Increasing concentrations of PD 136450 caused a monophasic dose-response curve in contrast to the well-known biphasic amylase release in response to CCK8. Addition of increasing doses of PD 136450 to a concentration of CCK causing maximal stimulation of amylase release (0.1 nM) further enhanced amylase release from pancreatic acini. The specific CCK-A receptor antagonist MK 329 dose-dependently inhibited CCK8- and PD 136450-induced amylase release. In conclusion, the new CCK-B/gastrin receptor antagonist PD 136450 exhibited profound agonist actions on the rat pancreas mediated via CCK-A receptors.

A short treatment of dog renal brush-border membrane vesicles (BBMV) with sodium cholate, followed by dialysis of the detergent, reorients the polarity of H(+)-ATPase in the membrane and exposes its ATP binding sites to the extravesicular space, as previously shown with pig BBMV. In cholate-pretreated vesicles, the H(+)-ATPase remains fully active, but is inserted under the reversed polarity in sealed vesicles. A large spontaneous N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive ATPase activity is thus observed, as well as a steep intravesicular acidification upon external ATP addition, two findings absent in native vesicles. The ability of nitrate plus ATP to dissociate the hydrolytic subunits ot the proton pump in cholate-pretreated vesicles, but not in native vesicles, demonstrates that most of the ATP binding subunits are accessible to ATP following cholate treatment. The sensitivity of the cytoplasmic domain of the H(+)-ATP activity to trypsin also confirms the reorientation of the enzyme in cholate-pretreated vesicles. The H(+)-ATPase and alkaline phosphatase remain largely associated with the membranes after the treatment with cholate, but gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase, aminopeptidase N, and neutral endopeptidase are largely solubilized. Upon dialysis of cholate, all these enzymes are in part reinserted in the membrane according to their original polarity. The reorientation process is however specific for the H(+)-ATPase. Cholate treatment does not increase the formation of inside-out vesicles. Thus the treatment with cholate really reorients the polarity of the H(+)-ATPase in vesicles and allows for study of the proton pumping capacity of vacuolar H(+)-ATPase of proximal tubules.

An activator of the clathrin-coated vesicle proton translocating ATPase has been purified 1600-fold from bovine brain. The activator, which requires detergent (polyoxyethylene 9-lauryl ether) for release from clathrin-coated vesicles, is heat-stable, trypsin-sensitive, and has an apparent molecular mass of about 6 kDa as determined by high performance liquid chromatography. The activator stimulates the purified H(+)-ATPase of coated vesicles over 50-fold under acidic conditions. Similarly, the activator stimulates proton pumping catalyzed by the reconstituted proton pump. Importantly, this stimulation of proton pumping is observed only when the activator is reconstituted into the interior of the proteoliposomes. Moreover, the activator protein is demonstrated to protect, and co-sediment with, purified proton pump during glycerol gradient centrifugation performed in the presence of ATP. These observations support the notion that this activator serves to determine the pH set point of acidic endomembranes through interactions with the transmembranous sectors of the proton pump.

Bacteriorhodopsin (bR) is a light-driven proton pump from Halobacterium salinarium and is a model system for studying membrane protein folding, stability, function, and structure. bR is composed of bacterio-opsin (bO), the 248-amino acid apo protein, and all-trans retinal, which is linked to lysine 216 via a protonated Schiff base. A bO gene (sbOd) possessing 29 unique restriction sites and a carboxyl-terminal purification epitope (1D4, nine amino acids) has been designed and synthesized. Overexpression of bO was achieved by fusion to the carboxyl terminus of maltose binding protein (MBP). The expressed fusion protein (MBP-sbO-1D4) formed inclusion bodies in Escherichia coli and, following solubilization with urea and removal of the urea by dialysis, approximately 170 mg of approximately 75% pure MBP-sbO-1D4 was obtained from 1 L of culture. MBP-sbO-1D4 formed high molecular weight (> or = 2,000 kDa) oligomers that were water-soluble. The synthetic bO with the 1D4 tag (sbO-1D4) was separated from MBP by trypsin cleavage at the factor Xa site between the MBP and sbO-1D4 domains. Selective trypsin cleavage at the factor Xa site, instead of at the 14 other potential trypsin sites within bO, was accomplished by optimization of the digestion conditions. Both MBP-sbO-1D4 and sbO-1D4 were regenerated with all-trans retinal and purified to homogeneity. In general, 6-10 mg of sbR-1D4 and 52 mg of MBP-sbR-1D4 were obtained from 1 L of cell culture. No significant differences in terms of UV/vis light absorbance, light/dark adaptation, and photocycle properties were observed among sbR-1D4, MBP-sbR-1D4, and bR from H. salinarium.

In recent years duodenogastric reflux has been recognised as a possible cause of oesophagitis. Alone or in combination, bile salts, trypsin, pepsin, and hydrochloric acid have all been shown to cause oesophagitis. Duodenal content in the oesophagus can be measured by means of a new fibre-optic sensor, Bilitech 2000, a device measuring the occurrence of bilirubin and yielding 24-hour readings from the distal oesophagus. Studies in which the device has been used have shown oesophageal bilirubin to be increased in patients with oesophagitis, especially in the subgroup with such complications as oesophageal stricture or ulceration, or Barrett's oesophagus. The evidence suggests that unsatisfactory response to proton pump inhibitors in reflux patients might be due to an increase in duodenal reflux, and should be treated surgically with fundoplication or biliary diversion. This may also be true of oesophagitis patients with complications, though this remains to be shown in clinical studies.

Vacuolar H(+)-translocating inorganic pyrophosphatase (V-PPase) uses PP(i) as an energy donor and requires free Mg(2+) for enzyme activity and stability. To determine the catalytic domain, we analyzed charged residues (Asp(253), Lys(261), Glu(263), Asp(279), Asp(283), Asp(287), Asp(723), Asp(727), and Asp(731)) in the putative PP(i)-binding site and two conserved acidic regions of mung bean V-PPase by site-directed mutagenesis and heterologous expression in yeast. Amino acid substitution of the residues with alanine and conservative residues resulted in a marked decrease in PP(i) hydrolysis activity and a complete loss of H(+) transport activity. The conformational change of V-PPase induced by the binding of the substrate was reflected in the susceptibility to trypsin. Wild-type V-PPase was completely digested by trypsin but not in the presence of Mg-PP(i), while two V-PPase mutants, K261A and E263A, became sensitive to trypsin even in the presence of the substrate. These results suggest that the second acidic region is also implicated in the substrate hydrolysis and that at least two residues, Lys(261) and Glu(263), are essential for the substrate-binding function. From the observation that the conservative mutants K261R and E263D showed partial activity of PP(i) hydrolysis but no proton pump activity, we estimated that two residues, Lys(261) and Glu(263), might be related to the energy conversion from PP(i) hydrolysis to H(+) transport. The importance of two residues, Asp(253) and Glu(263), in the Mg(2+)-binding function was also suggested from the trypsin susceptibility in the presence of Mg(2+). Furthermore, it was found that the two acidic regions include essential common motifs shared among the P-type ATPases.
