Muscle spindles were followed in serial transverse sections of freshly frozen rat soleus muscles. Adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) histochemical staining reaction was used to identify nuclear bag1, nuclear bag2 and nuclear chain intrafusal muscle fibers. Regional differences in ATPase staining occurred along bag1 and bag2 fibers but not along chain fibers. Bag1 fibers displayed ultrastructural heterogenity when their intra- and extracapsular regions were compared. Simple "diffuse" and more elaborate "plate" motor nerve terminals were demonstrated histochemically along the poles of bag1 and bag2 fibers by staining for cholinesterase. One motor terminal of the "plate" appearance was present on a chain fiber pole. There was no consistent spatial correlation between the intensity of regional ATPase staining along the nuclear bag fibers and the location, number and type of motor endings. Other factors, such as intrafusal fiber sensory innervation and regional differences in active and passive functional recruitment of nuclear bag fibers during muscle activity, may contribute to the ATPase staining variability along the intrafusal fibers.

Electron microscopic cytochemistry was used to determine the localization of five phosphatase enzymes-glucose-6-phosphatase, inosine diphosphatase, thiamine pyrophosphatase, acid phosphatase, and adenosine triphosphatase-in control human testes. Glucose-6-phosphatase occurred in the endoplasmic reticulum and nuclear envelope of Sertoli cells, Leydig cells and primitive spermatogonia, but was not observed in more advanced spermatogenic cells. The presence of glucose-6-phosphatase activity paralleled the presence of glycogen in spermatogenic cells, i.e., both occurred in type AL and AD spermatogonia but not in type AP or B spermatogonia or in more advanced spermatogenic cells. Inosine diphosphatase activity was found in the endoplasmic reticulum, nuclear envelope, and Golgi complex of Sertoli cells and all spermatogenic cells except late spermatids. Additionally, inosine diphosphatase activity was localized at the junctions between Sertoli cells and late spermatids, but was not associated with any other plasma membrane. Thiamine pyrophosphatase reaction product was found in the Golgi bodies of Sertoli cells and in spermatogenic cells through immature spermatids. Neither inosine diphosphatase nor thiamine pyrophosphatase was observed in the Golgi bodies of spermatids during acrosomal formation. Acid phosphatase activity was found in lysosomes of spermatogonia, spermatocytes, and spermatids, in lysosomes of Leydig cells, and in lysosomes, lipofuscin bodies, and Golgi cisternae of Sertoli cells. It is thought that Sertoli lysosomes play a role in the phagocytosis of degenerating germ cells; however, the role of spermatogenic or Leydig lysosomes is unknown. Adenosine triphosphatase activity occurred at the interfaces between two spermatogonia, and between Sertoli cells and spermatogonia, but was not observed in the spaces between two Sertoli cells, two spermatocytes, two spermatids, or between Sertoli cells and spermatocytes, or between Sertoli cells and spermatids.

Adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity in erythrocyte membranes from patients with Duchenne dystrophy was inhibited by ouabain less than in normal individuals in assay systems containing high or low contents of salt. Epinephrine and cyclic adenosine monophosphate increased total ATPase activity in all samples, and epinephrine restored ouabain sensitivity to the Duchenne membranes. Basal adenyl cyclase activity in about twice that of controls. Epinephrine stimulated adenyl cyclase activity of normal membranes two to three times, but did not stimulate the enzyme in Duchenne membranes. These differences may reflect a genetic abnormality of the membrane.

Spiroplasma citri was cultured in three different media that supplied cholesterol and fatty acids from: (i) horse serum, (ii) pleuropneumonia-like organism (PPLO) serum fraction, or (iii) bovine serum albumin-fatty acid-cholesterol. The ability of PPLO serum fraction to support growth varied by lot number. Neither PPLO serum fraction nor the bovine serum albumin medium supported growth as well as the horse serum medium. Analysis of cholesterol, lipid phosphorus, and membrane protein showed the horse serum- and PPLO-grown cells to be indistinguishable, but the bovine serum albumin-grown cells were deficient in lipid phosphorus. The three cultures did not show markedly different fatty acid compositions, but, in all cases, the cultures preferentially incorporated palmitic acid and discriminated against linoleic acid. Cultures grown for different times from logarithmic growth through a degenerative phase showed relatively constant ratios of cholesterol/protein and lipid phosphorus/protein. Fatty acid composition was also relatively constant at the different stages. Adenosine triphosphatase and p-nitrophenyl phosphatase were mainly associated with the membrane, whereas reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide oxidase was either readily removed or not associated with the membrane. The reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide oxidase was inactivated at temperatures above 35 degrees C.

Adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activities of sonically prepared submitochondrial particles of rat liver and Morris Hepatoma 3924A were compared as a function of changes in temperature. On Arrhenius plots, a discontinuity at 18 degrees was observed for the rat liver mitochondrial ATPase, while the hepatoma mitochondrial ATPase revealed a discontinuity at 20.4 degrees. Values for energy of activation of the rat liver and hepatoma mitochondrial ATPases were comparable below the break (34.5 and 35.5 kcal/mole, respectively) and above the break (11.6 and 9.2 kcal/mole, respectively). Solubilization of the mitochondrial membrances with Triton X-100 resulted in constant and similar values of energy of activation for the ATPases Km values of hepatoma and rat liver mitochondrial ATPases for adenosine triphosphate were similar in both the membrane-bound and solubilized states. The lack of uncoupler-stimulated ATPase activity in hepatoma mitochondria is apparently not due to membranous effects on the affinity of the ATPase for adenosine triphosphate.

The localization of some enzymic activities in cell fractions of Ureaplasma urealyticum was studied. A quantitative evaluation of the effectiveness of several cell lysis procedures was obtained by using labeled membranes and sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Ultrasonic treatment was found to be the most effective procedure for lysing the cells, whereas digitonin and osmotic shock caused the lysis of only 70 and 50% of the cells, respectively. The localization of selected enzymes in Ureaplasma cells resembled that found in other Mycoplasma species. Adenosine triphosphatase, ribonuclease, deoxyribonuclease, and p-nitrophenylphosphatase activities were located exclusively in the membrane fraction, whereas urease and L-histidine ammonia-lyase were located in the cytoplasm.

Ultrastructural distribution of acid phosphatase and adenosine triphosphatase was studied in the receptor elements of HERBST and GRANDRY sensory corpuscles. Acid phosphatase activity was established in the elements of smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum of perineural capsule cells, as well as in the secondary lysosomes of all cell types. Particular interest was paid on the activity of myelin-like dense bodies and some clear core vesicles belonging to the axoplasm of receptor nerve fibres. Adenosine triphosphatase activity was established on the membranes of receptor structures and pinocytotic vesicles. More deposits of electron dense material were localized on the axolemma of the non-myelinated portions of the receptor nerve fibres. The functional significance and importance of the both enzymes in the receptor structures was discussed.

Adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) from Thiobacillus ferrooxidans was purified 55-fold. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the most purified fraction showed only one major band; histochemical analysis showed that the ATPase activity was associated with this band. The pH optimum is 9-10. The enzyme hydrolyzed ATP stoichiometrically to ADP and inorganic phosphate, the Km for this substrate being 7.75 times 10-3 M. GTP and ITP are alternate substrates, the Km values for these being 6.71 times 10-3 M and 3.12 times 10-3 M, respectively. ADP is slightly hydrolyzed. Magnesium, manganese, and calcium can serve as cofactors; Km values for these are 2.0 times 10-3 M, 9.4 times 10-4 M, and 8.0 times 10-4 M, respectively. The enzyme activity was not activated by either sodium or potassium, but a combination of the two ions were inhibitory. Azide and p-hydroxymercuribenzoate strongly inhibited the enzyme activity, whereas cyanide, dinitrophenol, and N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) were without effect. The enzyme was cold labile at 0 degrees-C, but was more stable at 18-24 degrees-C.

In the bilaterally growing DBD sensitive Yoshida tumours deformed nuclear divisions necrosis of the majority of the tumour and appearance of giant cells can be observed due to the single administration of the LD50 of the preparation. The histochemical activity of the LDH the activity alcalyc Adenosine triphosphatase and the nonspecific alcalyc phosphatase become negative while the acidic phosphatase's activity does increase after the administration of the LD25 of the preparation appearance of giant cells are very marked more than 60% of tumours cells are polynuction. The activity of the alcalyc ATP-ase and nonspecific phosphatase decrose's after a transitory increase and become negative while the acid phosphatase's activity increases. In the case of the DBD resistant tumours the morphological and histochemical alternations due to LD50 of the preparation are much slighter and their timecourse is shorter. No morphological and histochemical changes are observed after the administration of LD25 of the preparation.

Adenosine and adrenergic agonists modulate neutrophil function by ligating their specific receptors (adenosine A2 and beta-adrenergic) on the neutrophil. When occupied, adenosine A2 and beta-adrenergic receptors stimulate, presumably via G alpha s, an increase in intracellular 3', 5' cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). cAMP affects cellular functions, in part, via protein kinase-mediated phosphorylation. Therefore, we determined whether inhibition of protein kinase A activity by KT5720 (10 mumol/L) reversed the inhibition of FMLP-stimulated O2- generation by 5'N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (NECA), the most potent adenosine A2 agonist, and by isoproterenol a potent beta-adrenergic agonist. KT5720 did not affect O2- generation stimulated by FMLP (125% +/- 13% of control, n = 5). However, KT5720 completely reversed inhibition of O2- generation by dibutyryl cAMP (DbcAMP, 1 mmol/L, from 26% +/- 5% to 84% +/- 25% of control, n = 5, P less than .004), but not by NECA (1 mumol/L, 26% +/- 5% v 33% +/- 7% of control, n = 5) or isoproterenol (10 mumol/L, 20% +/- 8% to 38% +/- 6% of control, n = 5). Nearly identical results were obtained using the less specific protein kinase inhibitor H-7. To determine whether occupancy of adenosine A2 or beta-adrenergic receptors inhibits neutrophil (PMN) activation by uncoupling chemoattractant receptors from G proteins, we determined the effect of NECA and isoproterenol on guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) activity, a parameter that reflects G protein "activation," of plasma membranes derived from human PMNs. Control GTPase activity was 138.9 pmol/mg protein/min; NECA (1 nmol/L to 1 mumol/L) and isoproterenol (10 nmol/L to 10 mumol/L) alone did not significantly affect GTPase activity. FMLP (0.1 mumol/L) increased GTPase activity by 31.9 +/- .9 pmol/mg/min, an increment that was markedly inhibited to approximately 50% of control by NECA (IC50 = 3 nmol/L, P less than .001, n = 5) and isoproterenol (IC50 = 30 nmol/L, P less than .001, n = 5). Neither cAMP nor dibutyryl cAMP (10 mumol/L and 1 mmol/L) affected resting or stimulated GTPase activity. In addition, neither adenosine nor DbcAMP affected protein phosphorylation in resting or stimulated neutrophils. Our studies are consistent with the hypothesis that ligation of G alpha s-linked receptors uncouples chemoattractant receptors from their signal-transduction mechanisms rather than inhibiting neutrophil function via cAMP-mediated effects.
