1. At 21 degrees C incubation of NADH-ubiquinone-1 reductase (Complex 1) with trypsin caused selective inhibition of nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase activity. The reduction of K3Fe(CN)6 by NADH or NADPH was unaffected, but a slow decrease in the rate of reduction of ubiquinone-1 by NADH was observed. 2. The pH-dependence of nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase activity differed in Complex I and trypsin-treated Complex I. The trypsin-labile activity had a pH optimum of approx. 6.5, whereas the trypsin-resistant activity had a pH optimum of approx. 5.5 or less. 3. The trypsinlabile transhydrogenase activity was specifically inhibited by butanedione or phenylglyoxal and was identified with the enzyme catalysing energy-linked transhydrogenase activity in submitochondrial particles. 4. Polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate revealed that trypsin caused degradation of a polypeptide of mol.wt 20500 in parallel with the loss of transhydrogenase activity. 5. At 30 degrees C and higher trypsin concentrations, the rate of reduction of K3Fe(CN)6 by NADH or NADPH slowly decreased. Increased lability of NADH-K3Fe(CN)6 reductase activity to trypsin was observed when the endogenous phospholipid of Complex I was depleted by detergent or phospholipase A treatment. 6. Polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis indicated that removal of phospholipid allowed much more extensive degradation of constituent polypeptides by trypsin. The subunits of the low-molecular-weight (type II) dehydrogenase (53000 and 26000 mol.wt.) were, however, relatively resistant to trypsin even in phospholipid-depleted preparations.

1. Guanylate cyclase of washed particles and plasma membranes showed S-shaped progress curves when titrated with either GTP or Mn2+ ions; similar results were obtained with Triton X-100-solubilized enzyme preparation from washed particles. Hill plots of these data revealed multiple metal-nucleotide and free-metal binding sites. 2. Guanylate cyclase of supernatant fractions displayed typical Michaelis-Menten properties when enzyme required excess of (free) Mn2+ (over GTP) for maximal activities; Ka (free Mn2+) was about 0.15-0.25 mM at subsaturating concentrations of GTP. 4 MnATP, MnADP, and MnGDP were found to increase the activities of both particulate and superantant enzyme, when MnGTP concentration was below saturation and free Mn2+ ion concentration was low (less than 100 muM); MnATP (50muM-1 mM) inhibited both these activities at high free Mn2+ concentration (1.5 mM) and inhibition of the particulate enzyme was greater than that of supernatant enzyme. 5. Ca2+ ions stimulated supernatant-enzyme activity; the stimulatory concentration of Ca2+ ions depended on the concentration of Mn2+ and GTP. 6. A modest stimulation of particulate guanylate cyclase by pyrophosphate (0.02-1 mM) was observed; the pyrophosphate effect appeared to be competitive with respect to GTP. At a higher concentration (2 mM), pyrophosphate produced a marked inhibition of particulate enzyme; the nature of inhibitory effect appeared complex. 7. Inorganic salts (e.g. NaCl, KCl, LiBr, NaF) produced inhibition of particulate enzyme; the degree of inhibition of Triton X-100-stimulated activity was less than that of unstimulated activity. 9. Treatment of sarcolemmal or microsomal membranes with either phospholipase C or trypsin decreased, whereas phospholipase A increased, the activity of guanylate cyclase.

Intact microsomes isolated from rat liver showed no hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity, but the enzyme was activated by Triton X-100, deoxycholate, NH4OH, glycine/NaOH, lysophosphatidylcholine, phospholipases A and C, pancreatic lipase and cholesterol esterase, and also by sonic treatment. The enzyme activation by deoxycholate, NH4OH and sonic treatments was solely due to solubilization, while that by phospholipase A appeared to be due to the detergent action of the hydrolysis products. On the other hand, the primary effects of phospholipase C, cholesterol esterase and pancreatic lipase might be accounted for by the partial removal of membrane lipids. The results of washing and trypsin digestion experiments suggested that hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is one of the most firmly bound enzymes among the microsomal proteins. The catalytic properties were the same in the solubilized and the membrane-bound, activated enzymes. Feeding the rats on a high carbohydrate diet altered the extent of enzyme activation by sonication and phospholipase C treatment, suggesting that the microsomal membrane would actually undergo changes in the conformation and/or chemical composition under certain circumstances.

Crude preparations of secretin or pancreozymin increased and at higher concentrations decreased guanylate cyclase (GTP pyophosphate-lyase, EC 4.6.1.2) activity from soluble and particulate fractions of rat liver homogenates. Partially purified and synthetic secretin were without effect as was the biologically active octapeptide fragment of pancreozymin. The active contaminants in these preparations survived boiling, saponification, and treatment with phospholipase A, trypsin and neuraminidase C. The activity was extractable with chloroform/methanol and did not survive ashing. Eight bile salt contaminants in crude secretin were obtained with thin-layer chromatography. Two of the contaminating bile salts that increased liver particulate guanylate cyclase activity were identified as taurodeoxycholate and either glycochenodeoxycholate or glycodeoxycholate; taurocholate was inhibitory. The sodium salts of cholate, deoxycholate, chenodeoxycholate and their glycine-or taurine-conjugated forms either increased or decreased particulate and soluble rat liver guanylate cyclase activity depending upon their concentration. Thus, the previously reported stimulatory and inhibitory effects of secretin and pancreozymin preparations on guanylate cyclase activity are probable attributable to their bile salt contaminants.

Rat pancreas presents a spontaneous phospholipase A activity which appears before trypsin activation at optimal pH 6.5. The responsible enzyme is independent of pancreatic prophospholipase A, as can be seen through experiments done in the presence of trypsin inhibitors. On the other hand, this enzyme is distinct from excretory phospholipase which is more active and whose optimal pH is 8.8. Thermostability and insensibility of spontaneously active phospholipase A to DFP differentiate it from lipase, carboxyl-esterhydrolase and lysophospholipase, respectively.

When microsomes were prepared in 2-mercaptoethanol Vmax for 17beta-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase (17beta-HSD) was greater, the Km for NAD+ was greater and the Km for testosterone lower than in its absence. During storage at 4 degrees Vmax increased in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol and decreased in its absence; Km values for testosterone and NAD+ increased during storage in both cases. The presence or absence of 2-mercaptoethanol did not affect the extent or time-course of inactivation of 17beta-HSD by trypsin or phospholipase A. Furthermore, no differences were detected in sedimentation properties on sucrose density gradients suggesting that the differences and changes in the kinetic behavior of 17beta-HSD reflect a conformational flexibility at the active site and are not due to extensive changes in the structure of the microsomes. 17beta-HSD exposed to 2-mercaptoethanol was subject to substrate inhibition by testosterone, a type of inhibition not previously reported for this enzyme.

The Rho(D) antigen of red cell membranes was solubilized using ethylene-diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and 2-mercaptoethanol. The solubilized antigen was partially separated from other solubilized membrane components using molecular filtration. The antigen was treated with various enzymes to learn some of the chemical characteristics. It was found that the activity of the antigen, as measured by hemagglutination inhibition, was not affected by bee venom phospholipase A, Clostridium welchii phospholipase C, calf-intestinal alkaline phosphatase, Vibrio cholerae neuraminidase, pig kidney leucine aminopeptidase, bovine pancreatic carboxypeptidase A, and pig pancreatic carboxypeptidase B. However, the proteolytic enzymes, pronase, trypsin, chymotrypsin and papain, did destroy Rho(D) activity as measured by hemagglutination inhibition. These results indicate that protein is an important part of the active determinant of the Rho(D) antigen. The experiments by other investigators have shown that lipid is important to maintain the Rho(D) activity in the intact membrane; lipid probably helps to maintain the structural conformation of the Rho(D) molecule in its natural environment. The solubilized Rho(D) molecules are apparently not dependent on lipid for their Rho(D) activity.

The Km value for the dog heart (Na+-K+)-ATPase was 0.31 mM (MgATP), whereas the values for the concentrations of K+ and Na+ varied from 1.2 to 2.7 mM and 12 to 20 mM for half-maximal activation, respectively. The concentrations of ouabain and calcium for 50 percent inhibition of (Na+-K+)-ATPase activity varied from 2.4 to 3.2 muM and 0.5 to 1.2 mM, respectively, the inhibitory effects of these agents were pH dependent. This preparation bound about 50 nmoles of 1-anilino-8-napthaline sulfonate (ANS)/mg of protein and exhibited fluorescence attributable to the ANS-enzyme complex. Cations such as Na+,K+,Ca++, and Mg++ increased ANS-enzyme fluorescence intensity and the number of ANS binding sites but decreased the apparent ANS binding constant. The enzyme activity, ANS binding, and ANS-enzyme fluorescence were decreased by phospholipase A, phospholipase C, and trypsin treatments. Although ouabain inhibited enzyme activity and ANS-enzyme fluorescence markedly, it caused only a slight depression in ANS binding. These results extend support for the allosteric nature of the cardiac (Na+-K+)-ATPase and provide evidence for conformational changes during its activation by Na+ and K+.

A study was made of the effect of plasmin and trypsin on the phospholipase activation, and also of the action of phospholipase A (cobra venom) on the release reaction and the erythrocyte and thrombocyte aggregation. Trypsin and fibrinolysin proved to activate phospholipase, this being accompanied by the accumulation of nonesterified fatty acids in the blood serum. Phospholipase A caused a release of the thromboplastic factor from erythrocytes and thrombocytes and their aggregation. The later is inhibited by albumin and EDTA. It is suggested that the action of the proteolytic enzymes on the blood formed elements was realized through the phospholipase activation.

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.
