Phosphorylating submitochondrial particles from beef heart (ETPH) prepared here contained about 2.4 nmol of ATP and 1.9 nmol of ADP/mg of protein after repeated washing of the particles. Essentially all of the "tightly bound " ATP and ADP was removed by trypsin treatment. The trypsin-treated ETPH had increased ATPase activity, undiminished NADH oxidase and succinate oxidase activity, but energy-coupling activity (ATP-driven reversed electron transfer) was abolished. Removal of half the ATP and ADP occurred at low levels of trypsin and was associated with loss of half of the coupling activity. Gel filtration of ETPH in high ionic strength buffer also removed ADP and ATP from the particles, resulting in loss of energy-coupling activity, while ATPase activity was increased. The results support the contention that the tightly bound ADP is essential in energy coupling in mitochondria. Tightly bound ATP may also play an essential role.

A second form of single-strand specific endonuclease, which is stable to heating up to 74 degrees C and does not bind strongly to phosphocellulose, has been partially purified from extracts of mycelia of wild-type Neurospora crassa. The endonuclease is associated with an equally heat-stable exonuclease which degrades linear but not circular double-stranded DNA and does not attack double-stranded RNA. The exonuclease probably also degrades single-stranded DNA. Both endonuclease and exonuclease activities are inhibited by 0.1-0.5 mM ATP. The exonuclease is preferentially inhibited by a variety of agents and preferentially inactivated by trypsin. A DNA-unwinding activity has also been detected in the nuclease preparation. Protease(s) present in the nuclease preparation destroy the DNA-unwinding and exonuclease activities on incubation at 37 degrees C, but do not affect the endonuclease activity. However, the heat-stability and chromatographic properties of the endonuclease are affected by this treatment. The altered properties of the endonuclease are very similar to those of the single-strand specific endonuclease which has been previously described. The combined nuclease activities of the unaltered preparational make up a putative recombination nuclease of N. crassa.

Subfragment-1 of HMM was prepared by tryptic [EC 3.4.21.4] digestion of HMM, which had been modified with 1 mole of CMB per mole of HMM at a specific SH group, SHr. S-1(T) obtained from CMB-HMM retained almost all the CMB, and the amount of bound CMB was about 0.8-0.9 mole per 2 moles of S-1(T). S-2 of CMB-HMM contained no bound CMB. The ATPase [EC 3.6.1.3] activity of HMM increased gradually with increase in the concentration of FA, and the acto-HMM ATPase was inhibited by excess substrate or removal of Ca2+ ions in the presence of RP. The ATPase activity of CMB-HMM increased to a maximum level on adding a small amount of FA, and the acto-CMB-HMM ATPase showed neither substrate inhibition nor Ca2+ sensitivity in the presence of RP. On the other hand, the dependence on the concentration of FA of the ATPase activity of acto-S-1(T) was unaffected by modification of S-1 with CMB. The Ca2+ sensitivity of the ATPase activity of acto-S-1(T) in the presence of RP was also unaffected by the modification. Acto-S-1(T) dissociated almost completely, while acto-CMB-S-1(T) was only 50% dissociated on adding ATP. More than 80% of the bound CMB was contained in S-1(T) undissociated from FA. Furthermore, superprecipitation of actomyosin induced by ATP was completely inhibited by adding about 2 moles of CMB-S-1(T) per mole of actin monomer. On the other hand, about 90% of the burst size of Pi liberation was retained in S-1(T) dissociated from FA. It was concluded that the two heads of the myosin molecule are different: one shows the initial burst of Pi liberation, and does not contain the SHr group which binds CMB (head B), and the other does not show the initial burst and contains the SHr group (head A). It was also concluded that modification of head A of HMM or myosin with CMB increases its binding strength to FA, and consequently the substrate inhibition and Ca2+ sensitivity of acto-HMM or actomyosin ATPase at head B are lost on modification of head A with CMB. CMB-S-1(CT) was prepared by chymotryptic [EC 3.4.21.1] digestion of CMB-myosin, and separated into two fractions by ultracentrifugation of acto-CMB-S-1(CT) in the presence of ATP. Three components of CMB-S-1(CT) with molecular weights of 9, 2.4, and 1.2 X 10(4) were separated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The ratios of the peak areas of the three components in electrophoretograms were the same in CMB-S-1(CT) and in the two fractions (1 : 0.18 : 0.09), indicating that heads A and B have the same subunit structure.

1. The coupling ATPase of Paracoccus denitrificans can be removed from the membrane by washing coupled membrane fragments at low salt concentrations. 2. This ATPase resembles coupling ATPases of mitochondria, chloroplasts and other bacteria. It is a negatively charged protein of molecular weight about 300,000. An inhibitor protein in bound tightly to the ATPase in vivo, and can be destroyed by trypsin treatment. 3. ATP and ADP are found tightly bound to the coupling ATPase of P. denitrificans, both in its membrane-bound and isolated state. The ATP/ADP ratio on the enzyme is greater than one. 4. Under de-energised condtions, the bound nucleotides are not available to the suspending medium. When the membrane is energised however, the bound nucleotides can exchange with added nucleotides and incorporate 32Pi. 32Ppi is incorporated into the beta and gamma positions of the bound nucleotides, but beta-labelling probably does not occur on the coupling ATPase. 5. Uncouplers inhibit the exchange of the free nucleotides or 32Pi into the bound nucleotides, while venturicidin (an energy transfer inhibitor) and aurovertin stimulate the exchange. 6. The response of the bound nucleotides to energisation is consistent with their being involved directly in the mechanism of oxidative phosphorylation.

1. Stimulation of the Escherichia coli ATPase activity by urea and trypsin shows that the ATPase activity both in the membrane-bound and the solubilized form is partly masked. 2. A protein, inhibiting the ATPase activity of Escherichia coli, can be isolated by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of purified ATPase. The inhibitor was identified with the smallest of the subunits of E. coli ATPase. 3. The molecular weight of the ATPase inhibitor is about 10,000, as determined by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and deduced from the amino acid composition. 4. The inhibitory action is independent of pH, ionic strength or the presence of Mg2+ or ATP. 5. The ATPase inhibitor is heat-stable, insensitive to urea but very sensitive to trypsin degradation. 6. The Escherichia coli ATPase inhibitor does not inhibit the mitochondrial or the chloroplast ATPase.

1. Two distinct patterns of tryptic modification of the catalytic functions of purified (Na+ + K+)-ATPase can be related to the two previously described patterns of enzyme inactivation and cleavage of the large chain seen with NaCl and KCl (Jorgensen, P.L. (1975) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 401, 399-415). 2. With NaCl, in phase A, the rapid inactivation of 50-55% of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity is associated with loss of 85% of the K+-phosphatase activity and an increase in Na+-ADP-ATP exchange activity to 150% of control. ATP binding and phosphorylation are unchanged and the inactivation may result from cleavage of bonds within the large chain which are involved in dephosphorylation reactions. In phase B with NaCl, ATP binding and phosphorylation are lost slowly in parallel to inactivation of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and cleavage of the large chain to a fragment with Mr=78 000. 3. With KCl, cleavage of the large chain to almost equal fragments abolish ATP binding and phosphorylation in parallel to the inactivation of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. An additional split seems required for inactivation of the K+-pNPPase activity. 4. After completion of the digestion in phase A with NaCl a stable preparation can be isolated in which the activity of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase is 40%. ATP binding and phosphorylation are 90%, K+-phosphatase is 15%, and Na+-ADP-ATP exchange is 150% of control. We currently examine if these levels are related to changes in phosphorylation kinetics. 5. The ATP binding area is much more stable to trypsin with NaCl than with KCl, but loss of the binding capacity is in both cases correlated to a distinct cleavage of the large chain. The relationship between the fractional loss of ATP binding and cleavage of the large chain suggests that the nucleotide binding area is confined to one of the two large chains in the protein complex with Mr=270 000 which binds one molecule of ATP. 6. The data also suggest that the phosphatase site is remote from the ATP binding area. It is proposed that the protein complex with Mr=270 000 contains two large chains with different catalytic functions and that each chain forms a cation channel.

The 20K dalton fragment of Ca2+ + Mg2+-ATPase obtained from th tryptically digested sarcoplasmic reticulum has been further purified using Bio-Gel P-100. This removed low-molecular-weight UV-absorbing and positive Lowry-reacting contaminants. The ionophoric activity of the 20K fragment in both oxidized cholesterol and phosphatidylcholine:cholesterol membranes is unaltered by this further purification. The 20K selectivity sequence in phosphatidylcholine:cholesterol membrane is Ba2+ greater than Ca2+ greater than Sr2+ greater than Mn2+ Mg2+. Digestion of intact sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles with trypsin, which results in the dissection of the hydrolytic site (30K) from the ionophoric site (20K), is shown to disrupt energy transduction between ATP hydrolysis and calcium transport. This further implicates the 20K dalton fragment as a calcium transport site. These data and previous evidence are discussed in terms of a proposed model for the ATPase molecular structure and the mechanisms of cation transport in sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Acetyl-salicylic acid has been found to inhibit the aggregation of erythrocytes and thrombocytes stimulated by proteolytic enzymes (fibrinolysin and trypsin) and phospholipase A. It hampers their hydrolytic action on phospholipids of the blood cells membranes, prevents deformation of the latter under the effect of aggregating agents and also averts a fall of the ATP-ase activity of the erythrocytes membranes caused by parachlormercury-benzoate.

An isolation procedure is worked out and properties are studied of CF1 ATPase from chloroplasts with changed submolecular structure. The enzyme, isolated by chlorophorm treatment, produced Ca-dependent ATPase activity in water solution. As compared with the enzyme isolated by well known Lien and Racker method, the enzyme preparation obtained is slightly activated by heating, is not activated by trypsin and has a lesser ability to recover ATP synthesis in EDTA-treated chloroplasts. Purification on DEAE-Sephadex produced the enzyme preparation free of delta-subunit. Chlorophorm treatment is suggested to change submolecular protein structure, in particular, loosening of the link of delta-subunit with other enzyme subunits. The data obtained suggest that delta-subunit participates in the binding of CF1 ATPase with chloroplast membrane.

The binding properties of dynein arms to the A- and B-tubules of outer doublets of cilia from Tetrahymena pyriformis were examined, with the following results: 1. When 30s dynein purified from Tetrahymena cilia was added to doublets deficient in dynein arms, it bound to both A- and B-tubules almost equally and formed arms along the edges. The overall length of arms bound to the A-tubule was 22 +/- 3 nm, and that of arms bound to the B-tubule was 24 +/- 3 nm. Each arm bound to the A- and B-tubules was pointed toward the base at angles of 55 degrees +/- 7 degrees and 48 degrees +/- 7 degrees, respectively. In the presence of sufficient amounts of dynein, the arms along the A- and B-tubules were located at intervals of 22.8 +/- 1.5 nm and 22.5 +/- 1.7 nm, respectively. 2. On adding ATP, only the arms bound to the B-tubule were dissociated from the doublet decorated with arms on both sides. The dissociated arms rebound themselves to the B-tubule after hydrolysis of the ATP. When several doublets decorated with arms along both A- and B-tubules were arrayed side by side, the interdoublet spacing increased from 14 +/- 2 nm to 17 +/- 2 nm on addition of ATP. 3. The turbidity of a suspension of trypsin [EC 3.4.21.4]-treated axonemes decreased rapidly on addition of ATP, then recovered partially. Observations by dark-field microscopy and electron microscopy showed that the doublets which had slid out from the axonemes on ATP addition formed large aggregates after hydrolysis of the ATP. The dynein arms were also solubilized from the axonemes upon addition of ATP, and rebound themselves to the B-tubule after hydrolysis of the added ATP. 4. The double-reciprocal plot for the ATPase [EC 3.6.1.3] activity of the trypsin-treated axonemes against ATP concentration was composed of two straight lines, from which the Km values were estimated to be 1.0 and 12.7 micrometer. The dependence of the decrease in turbidity of the axonemal suspension on ATP concentration indicated that the binding of ATP to sites with an apparent dissociation constant of 1 micrometer induced dissociation of the arms from the B-tubule.
