Three cell types were isolated from dissociated 16-cell sea urchin embryos. Four membrane density fractions from discontinuous gradients have different proportions of lipids, surfacer markers and enzymes for the three cell types. Assays of lipid content, CH/PLIPID and SPH/PC ratios, acyl chain length, level of unsaturation by proton NMR and assays of enzyme activity revealed variation at the same density between the three cell types and among different densities from one cell type. There were also differences between whole embryos and dissociated embryo cells. There was no typical membrane domain at a particular density common to the cell types. Cell surface characteristics and polarity of adult cells rely on which lipid domains and enzymes are present, their association with cytoskeleton and how they are localized. At the 16-cell stage these characteristics are still very dynamic as revealed by cytochemical localization of Na+/K(+)-ATPase which varied with cell type and suggests endocytosis at set times in the division cycle. Polarity has not been permanently set for Na+/K(+)-ATPase yet. Membrane enzyme and lipid distributions unique to the three cell types seen in this study suggest parcelling out or insertion of new membrane domains occurs during early sea urchin cleavage. Perturbation of membrane density distribution and lipid content occurs after treatment of embryos with animalizing and vegetalizing teratogens which alter development.

We have investigated the metabolic adaptations that occur in the thyroxine-treated rat heart. Rats were made hyperthyroid by daily intra-peritoneal injections of thyroxine (35 micrograms/100 g body weight) over seven days. 31P-NMR investigations of isolated glucose-perfused isometric hearts showed that thyroxine treatment caused an increase in Pi (from 4.9 mumols.(g dry wt.)-1 in control hearts to 11.7 mumols.(g dry wt.)-1 in hyperthyroid hearts), a decrease in phosphocreatine (from 36.5 mumols.(g dry wt.)-1 to 21.8 mumols.(g dry wt.)-1) with no change in ATP or ADP concentrations under the same conditions of cardiac work. The unidirectional exchange flux Pi----ATP was measured by saturation transfer NMR in hyperthyroid rat hearts. This exchange (which has been shown to contain a significant glycolytic component) increased by 2.2-fold in thyroxine-treated hearts in comparison to control hearts (to 3.6 mumols.(g dry wt.)-1.s-1, from 1.6 mumols.(g dry wt.)-1.s-1). In parallel experiments, NMR analysis of extracts from hyperthyroid rat hearts showed significantly elevated levels of glucose 6-phosphate, and fructose 6-phosphate. Measurements of enzyme activities isolated from hyperthyroid and control tissue showed a 40% increase in phosphofructokinase activity. These data together with the increased concentration of Pi show that both glycolytic and glycogenolytic fluxes are increased in the hyperthyroid rat heart. This metabolic adaptation may be necessary to cope with the increased number and activity of Na+/K(+)-ATPase pumps that occur in response to thyroxine treatment.

31P NMR was used to study the erythrocytes of three patients who exhibited a familial multisystem disease characterized by fatty liver, diabetes and nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia of unknown etiology. 31P NMR measurements disclosed an abnormally high level of intracellular inorganic phosphate (Pi) and an abnormally low level of ATP in the erythrocytes 6 h after blood withdrawal from proband (I-1). This finding suggested that ATP was markedly decreased in the red cells of this proband, as compared with those of normal subjects. Time-dependent changes of 31P NMR spectra of the erythrocytes from the two daughters (II-1, II-2) of the proband demonstrated clearly an enhanced decomposition of ATP with a concomitant increment of Pi. Several ATP-consuming enzymes in erythrocytes, such as those in the Embden-Meyerhof system, pentose phosphate pathway enzymes, Na+, K(+)-ATPase and Ca2+, Mg2(+)-ATPase, were within normal limits of activity, but Mg2(+)-ATPase was drastically above the normal limit. The Mg2(+)-ATPase activity was 3 times higher in the red cell membranes of these patients than in those from normal subjects.

The method for 23Na NMR measurement of the maximal rate of active Na+ efflux from human red blood cells (RBC) is proposed. The nonpenetrating paramagnetic shift reagent (SR) bis(tripolyphosphate)dysprosium(III) complex is used to distinguish extracellular Na+ ions from intracellular. RBC are proved to retain their physiological activity in the presence of SR. Intracellular Na+ is shown to be 100% NMR visible. The levels of intracellular and extracellular Na+ and K+ ions are changed to decrease their concentration gradients across the erythrocyte membrane to make active Na+ efflux the only 23Na NMR measurable process; so the integrated areas of intra- and extracellular Na+ peaks remain invariant throughout the incubation period in the presence of 0.25 mM ouabain, a specific inhibitor of Na+, K+-ATPase. The accuracy of the proposed technique is evaluated to be 10%. The maximal Na+ efflux is determined to be 10.1 +/- 1.0 mM/h/liter of cells.

Three new dihydroxyicosanoids, 12(R),13(R)-dihydroxyicosa-5(Z),8(Z),10(E),14(Z)-tetraenoic acid, 12(R),13(R)-dihydroxyicosa-5(Z),8(Z),10(E),14(Z),17(Z)-pentaeno ic acid and 10(R*),11(R*)-dihydroxyoctadeca-6(Z),8(E),12(Z)-trienoic acid, have been isolated from a previously unstudied temperate red marine alga, Farlowia mollis (Cryptonemiales, Rhodophyta). The structures of these new metabolites have been deduced from detailed nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry analyses on stabilized diacetate-methyl esters and stereochemistry deduced by 1H NMR couplings and CD analysis of a dibenzoate derivative. Collectively, these new natural products modulate fMLP-induced superoxide anion generation in human neutrophils, inhibit the conversion of arachidonic acid to lipoxygenase products by human neutrophils, and inhibit the functioning of the dog kidney Na+/K+ ATPase.

We have addressed the question of whether the Na/K+-ATPase in the human erythrocyte is in a state of near-equilibrium by varying the extracellular ratio of Na+ and K+ and following the cytosolic phosphorylation potential by 31P-NMR and by combined enzymatic colorimetric measurements. There was no correlation at room temperature between the extracellular Na+/K+ ratio and the cytosolic phosphorylation potential measured either by NMR or alternative methods. The cytosolic phosphorylation potential measured by NMR was 4100 +/- 1300 (S.E.) M-1 at an extracellular K+ concentration of 5.9 mM (Na+/K+ ratio of 24.3) and 2800 +/- 700 (S.E.) M-1 at 75 mM extracellular K+ (Na+/K+ ratio of 0.99). The chemically determined phosphorylation potential was 6400 +/- 1200 (S.E.) and 5000 +/- 700 (S.E.) M-1 at 5.9 and 75 mM extracellular K+, respectively. Omission of Ca2+ from the buffer solutions did not affect the results. A consistent finding in this study was that the NMR-determined value of ATP was about 10-20% lower than the value determined enzymatically on perchloric acid extracts. The inorganic phosphate (Pi) was fully NMR visible.

Transferred nuclear Overhauser effect measurements (in the two-dimensional mode) have been used to determine the three-dimensional conformation of an ATP analogue, Co(NH3)4ATP, at the active site of sheep kidney Na,K-ATPase. Previous studies have shown that Co(NH3)4ATP is a competitive inhibitor with respect to MnATP for the Na,K-ATPase [Klevickis, C., & Grisham, C.M. (1982) Biochemistry 21, 6979. Gantzer, M.L., et al. (1982) Biochemistry 21, 4083]. Nine unique proton-proton distances on ATPase-bound Co(NH3)4ATP were determined from the initial build-up rates of the cross-peaks of the 2D-TRNOE data sets. These distances, taken together with previous 31P and 1H relaxation measurements with paramagnetic probes, are consistent with a single nucleotide conformation at the active site. The bound Co(NH3)4ATP) adopts an anti conformation, with a glycosidic torsion angle of 35 degrees, and the conformation of the ribose ring is slightly N-type (C2'-exo, C3'-endo). The delta and gamma torsional angles in this conformation are 100 degrees and 178 degrees, respectively. The nucleotide adopts a bent configuration, in which the triphosphate chain lies nearly parallel to the adenine moiety. Mn2+ bound to a single, high-affinity site on the ATPase lies above and in the plane of the adenine ring. The distances from enzyme-bound Mn2+ to N6 and N7 are too large for first coordination sphere complexes, but are appropriate for second-sphere complexes involving, for example, intervening hydrogen-bonded water molecules. The NMR data also indicate that the structure of the bound ATP analogue is independent of the conformational state of the enzyme.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

High-angle X-ray diffraction spectra showed that triterpene glycosides form crystalline complexes with membrane cholesterol. Electron microscopy demonstrated a decreased vesicle size, of the membrane preparation from rat brain which is enriched in Na+-K+-ATPase, by the triterpene glycosides. The Arrhenius plot was linear in the presence of triterpene glycosides. The half-width of the phosphatidylcholine N-methyl proton line in proton NMR spectra was not altered in the presence of marine glycosides. The excimer formation of pyrene, a hydrophobic fluorescent probe, was significantly decreased by triterpene glycosides. The increase of tryptophanyl residue fluorescence demonstrated a change of the Na+-K+-ATPase conformation after treatment with cytotoxic glycosides.

A preparative purification of endogenous inhibitors of the Na+/K+-ATPase has been carried out from bovine blood. Dried plasma was deproteinized, hexane-extracted and desalted, followed by further purification through a series of reverse-phase HPLC fractionations. Fractions active in inhibiting Na+/K+-ATPase activity and displacing ouabain were collected and purified further. By comparison with ouabain, the final extract was found to have a steeper concentration-effect curve in the inhibition of Na+/K+-ATPase. In displacement of [3H]ouabain, the extract had again a steeper concentration-effect curve than does ouabain, and in addition it enhanced ouabain binding at high dilutions. These properties are indicative of nonspecific interactions with the Na+/K+-ATPase. The active fraction was identified by TLC, HPLC, NMR, GLC and GC-MS, to be a mixture of three unesterified fatty acids, mainly oleic acid (72% of the total) and three saturated hydrocarbons. The assignment of structures was corroborated by comparison with authentic samples.

A 23Na NMR assay for measurement of erythrocyte Na+/K+ ATPase activity is presented. Using the nonpermeant shift reagent dysprosium tripolyphosphate the signals of intra- and extracellular sodium are separated, enabling measurement of sodium fluxes nondestructively, without the need to physically separate the cells from their environment. By increasing membrane permeability with nystatin we have shown that the assay allows the detection of differences in membrane permeability. With low doses of nystatin the ouabain-sensitive sodium flux increased more than twofold. With high doses of nystatin the Na+/K+ pump could not prevent an almost total equilibration of intra- and extracellular sodium. All sodium that entered the cells remained NMR visible, proving that sodium influx can be measured quantitatively. 31P NMR spectra taken before and after the assay revealed a slight acidification of the cells and no significant change in ATP concentration. No evidence of Dy3+ entering the cell was observed.
