Binding of the nucleotides ATP and ADP by preparations of sarcoplasmic reticulum was investigated by the method of flow dialysis. For ATP, experimental data could not be analyzed directly in terms of binding since a significant though small amount of hydrolysis could be observed even in presence of EDTA. ADP binding could be analyzed and gave a dissociation constant of 10-20 muM at neutral pH, and a stoichiometry of 0.35 - 0.45 per mole ATPase. The possible significance of this stoichiometry is discussed. Similar experiments were performed after ethoxyformylation of sarcoplasmic reticulum which inhibits the Ca2+ dependnet ATPase activity. The results confirmed the inhibition of ATP hydrolysis and pointed to a considerably reduced affinity for nucleotides. The method based on the measurement of dialysis rates is convenient, and accurate enough to detect the effects of chemical modification on sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes.

The actomyosin complex of human myometrium has a low Ca-activated ATPase activity (0.007-0.012 mu mole H+ per 1 mg protein for 1 min), small degree and rate of superprecipitation. Transition to the state of pregnancy is accompanied by considerable changes in the physicochemical properties of the myometrium actomyosin. ATPase activity is 5-10 times as high and the rate of superprecipitation rises, particularly after the increase in the calcium concentration. The content of nucleic acid in the actomyosin complex decreases and D280/D260=1.1. The intensity of the actomyosin fluorescence at the pregnant state is more than twice as high.

We report measurements of the reactivity (degree of labeling, as mole of ligand per mole of protein, at constant exposure time) of the reactive thiol, "SH1", of a subfragment of myosin (S-1), and of Cys-10 of F-actin under various conditions, using N-iodo-[3H]acetyl-N-(1-sulfo-5-naphthyl)ethylenediamine, a fluorescent radioactive iodoacetamide analog. When either ADP or adenyloyl imidodiphosphate (simulating unhydrolyzed ATP) is bound to the enzymatic site of S-1, the reactivity of "SH1" is slightly enhanced, but when active ATPase is going on, reactivity is reduced by about a third, presumably due to the species, (S-1) ADP,Pi. The reactivity of Cys-10 alone is very low. When the complex, (S-1)-F-actin, is formed, the reactivity of SH1 is strongly decreased, and the reactivity of Cys-10 is strongly increased. The foregoing results explain our further observation (on glycerol-treated rabbit psoas fibers) that when fibers labeled in relaxation solution are compared with fibers labeled in rigor solution, myosin is more reactive and actin is less reactive, in the former case; alpha-actinin and C-protein are also less reactive in the former case.

A study of the equilibrium binding of ADP, 1,N6-ethenoadenosine diphosphate, adenylyl imidodiphosphate, and 1,N6-ethenoadenylyl imidodiphosphate to solubilized spinach chloroplast coupling factor 1 (CF1) has been carried out. All four nucleotides were found to bind to two apparently identical "tight" sites, with characteristic dissociation contants generally less than 10 muM. The binding to these "tight" sites is similar in the presence of Mg2+ and Ca2+, is stronger in 0.1 M NaC1 than in 20 mM Tris-C1, and is only slightly altered by heat activation. The slow rate of association of ADP and 1,N6-ethenoadenosine diphosphate at these sites rules out the possibility that they are catalytic sites for ATPase activity on the solubilized enzyme. A third tight site for adenylyl imidodiphosphate was found on the heat-activated enzyme. The dissociation constant for this interaction (7.6 muM) is similar to the adenylyl imidodiphosphate competitive inhibition constant for ATPase activity (4 muM). ADP, which inhibits ATPase activity but is not a strong competitive inhibitor, binds only weakly at a third site (dissociation constant greater than 70 muM). One mole of 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole reacted per mole of CF1 prevents ADP and adenylyl imidodiphosphate binding at the "catalytic" site and abolishes the ATPase activity. A model is proposed in which the "tight" nucleotide binding sites act as allosteric conformational switches for the ATPase activity of solubilizedCF1.

The interaction of a nitroxide spin-labeled derivative of ouabain with sheep kidney Na,K-ATPase and the motional behavior of the ouabain spin label-Na,K-ATPase complex have been studied by means of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and saturation-transfer EPR (ST-EPR). Spin-labeled ouabain binds with high affinity to the Na,K-ATPase with concurrent inhibition of ATPase activity. Enzyme preparations retain 0.61 +/- 0.1 mol of bound ouabain spin label per mole of ATP-dependent phosphorylation sites, even after repeated centrifugation and resuspension of the purified ATPase-containing membrane fragments. The conventional EPR spectrum of the ouabain spin label bound to the ATPase consists almost entirely (greater than 99%) of a broad resonance at 0 degrees C, characteristic of a tightly bound spin label which is strongly immobilized by the protein backbone. Saturation-transfer EPR measurements of the spin-labeled ATPase preparations yield effective correlation times for the bound labels significantly longer than 100 microseconds at 0 degrees C. Since the conventional EPR measurements of the ouabain spin-labeled Na,K-ATPase indicated the label was strongly immobilized, these rotational correlation times most likely represent the motion of the protein itself rather than the independent motion of mobile spin probes relative to a slower moving protein. Additional ST-EPR measurements of ouabain spin-labeled Na,K-ATPase (a) cross-linked with glutaraldehyde and (b) crystallized in two-dimensional arrays indicated that the observed rotational correlation times predominantly represented the motion of large Na,K-ATPase-containing membrane fragments, as opposed to the motion of individual monomeric or dimeric polypeptides within the membrane fragment. The results suggest that the binding of spin-labeled ouabain to the ATPase induces the protein to form large aggregates, implying that cardiac glycoside induced enzyme aggregation may play a role in the mechanism of action of the cardiac glycosides in inhibiting the Na,K-ATPase.

The correspondence between K+ uptake in platelets to their responsiveness was studied using 86Rb+ as an analogue of K+. An average 86Rb+ uptake rate of 0.73 (+/- 0.140) x 10(-15) mole Rb+/min-plt (n = 20) was observed. By the use of K(+)-influx inhibitors, we were able to distinguish three distinct 86Rb+ uptake pathways: an ouabain-sensitive (61% +/- 2% inhibitable) pump and two equivalent channels, only one of which is sensitive to furosemide. Other platelet parameters were also examined in conjunction with K(+)-uptake. Platelets incubated with ouabain exhibited an overall rise in their cell volume (MPV) with incubation time (delta MPV = 7.4 x 10(-17) L/min-1 plt-1). Concomitantly, over 24 hours, a steady decrease in platelet number was recorded by blood cell coulter, which correlated inversely with the counts of particles, which by their size resemble white blood cells (r = 0.89). On a cellular level, incubation with ouabain induced greater expression of surface fibrinogen-receptor (GPIIb), increased binding of FITC-labelled fibrinogen, and increased responsiveness to ADP. Our observations suggest the following sequence of events: Ouabain turns off the Na+/K(+)-ATPase pump, which leads to water accumulation in platelets and concomitant increased MPV. Greater expression of fibrinogen receptors on the distended platelet surface corresponds to spontaneous microaggregate formation as well as greater responsiveness to agonists. Our model links volume regulation, the expression of fibrinogen receptors, and the sensitivity of platelets to agonists to the activity of the Na+/K(+)-ATPase pump.

We have used frequency- and time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) to study the effects of substrate on the nanosecond conformational dynamics of the Ca-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum, as detected by an iodoacetamide spin label (IASL) attached covalently to the enzyme. We confirm previous results [Coan, C. (1983) Biochemistry 22, 5826] showing that this probe is less rotationally mobile following the addition of nucleotides (ADP, AMPPNP, ATP) and that the shape of the spectrum suggests the presence of two components. We used two approaches to enhance EPR resolution in order to resolve the spectral components and their corresponding conformational states. First, to improve resolution in the frequency (spectral) domain, we used perdeuterated IASL, which results in narrower line widths. Digital spectral analysis resolves the EPR spectrum into two components, one that is indistinguishable from the spectrum observed in the absence of ligands and another that indicates more restricted probe motions, suggesting a distinct conformation of the labeled protein. Additions of substrate ligands appear to change only the mole fractions of the two components. The mole fraction of the restricted component (fR) was 0 in the absence of ligands, but increased to about 0.5 in the presence of saturating concentrations of AMPPNP and Ca2+. In general, ATP and its analogs increase fR, with larger effects observed in the presence of Ca. However, calcium has no effect by itself (fR = 0). Both monovanadate and decavanadate increase fR, but the formation of a covalent phosphoenzyme from inorganic phosphate (E2-P) had no effect (fR = 0).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence 632-642 (S632-642) on the myosin subfragment 1 (S-1) heavy chain and spanning the 50/20 kDa junction of S-1 binds to actin in the presence and absence of S-1. The binding of 1.0 mole of peptide per actin causes almost complete inhibition of actomyosin ATPase activity and only partial inhibition of S-1 binding to actin. The binding of S632-642 to the N-terminal segment of actin is supported by competitive carbodiimide cross-linking of S-1 and S632-642 to actin and the catalytic properties of cross-linked acto-S-1 and actin-peptide complexes. These results show that the sequence 632-642 on S-1 is an autonomous binding site for actin and confirm the catalytic importance of its interactions with the N-terminal segment of actin.

We have performed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments on nitroxide spin labels incorporated into rabbit skeletal sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), in order to investigate the physical and functional interactions between melittin, a small basic membrane-binding peptide, and the Ca-ATPase of SR. Melittin binding to SR substantially inhibits Ca(2+)-dependent ATPase activity at 25 degrees C, with half-maximal inhibition at 9 mol of melittin bound per mole of Ca-ATPase. Saturation transfer EPR (ST-EPR) of maleimide spin-labeled Ca-ATPase showed that melittin decreases the submillisecond rotational mobility of the enzyme, with a 4-fold increase in the effective rotational correlation time (tau r) at a melittin/Ca-ATPase mole ratio of 10:1. This decreased rotational motion is consistent with melittin-induced aggregation of the Ca-ATPase. Conventional EPR was used to measure the submicrosecond rotational dynamics of spin-labeled stearic acid probes incorporated into SR. Melittin binding to SR at a melittin/Ca-ATPase mole ratio of 10:1 decreases lipid hydrocarbon chain mobility (fluidity) 25% near the surface of the membrane, but only 5% near the center of the bilayer. This gradient effect of melittin on SR fluidity suggests that melittin interacts primarily with the membrane surface. For all of these melittin effects (on enzymatic activity, protein mobility, and fluidity), increasing the ionic strength lessened the effect of melittin but did not alleviate it entirely. This is consistent with a melittin-SR interaction characterized by both hydrophobic and electrostatic forces. Since the effect of melittin on lipid fluidity alone is too small to account for the large inhibition of Ca-ATPase rotational mobility and enzymatic activity, we propose that melittin inhibits the ATPase primarily through its capacity to aggregate the enzyme, consistent with previous observations of decreased Ca-ATPase activity under conditions that decrease protein rotational mobility.

We have studied the effect of melittin, a basic membrane-binding peptide, on Ca-ATPase activity and on protein and lipid dynamics in skeletal sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), using time-resolved phosphorescence and fluorescence spectroscopy. Melittin completely inhibits Ca-ATPase activity, with half-maximal inhibition at 9 +/- 1 mol of melittin bound to the membrane per mole of ATPase (0.1 mol of melittin per mole of lipid). The time-resolved phosphorescence anisotropy (TPA) decay of the Ca-ATPase labeled with erythrosin isothiocyanate (ERITC) shows that melittin restricts microsecond protein rotational motion. At 25 degrees C in the absence of melittin, the TPA is characterized by three decay components, corresponding to a rapid segmental motion (correlation time phi 1 = 2-3 microseconds), the uniaxial rotation of monomers or dimers (phi 2 = 16-22 microseconds), and the uniaxial rotation of larger oligomers (phi 3 = 90-140 microseconds). The effect of melittin is primarily to decrease the fraction of the more mobile monomer/dimer species (A2) while increasing the fractions of the larger oligomer (A3) and very large aggregates (A infinity). Time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy of the lipid-soluble probe diphenylhexatriene (DPH) shows only a slight increase in the lipid hydrocarbon chain effective order parameter, corresponding to an increase in lipid viscosity that is too small to account for the large decrease in protein mobility or inhibition of Ca-ATPase activity. Thus the inhibitory effect of melittin correlates with its capacity to aggregate the Ca-ATPase and is consistent with previously reported inhibition of this enzyme under conditions that increase protein-protein interactions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
