The ars operon of the conjugative R-factor R773 confers resistance to arsenicals by coding for an anion pump for extrusion of arsenicals from cells of Escherichia coli. Extrusion of arsenite requires only two polypeptides, the ArsA and ArsB proteins. Purified ArsA protein exhibits oxyanion-stimulated ATPase activity and has been shown to bind ATP by photoaffinity labeling with [alpha-32P]ATP. From sequence analysis the ArsA protein is predicted to have two nucleotide binding folds, one in the N-terminal half and one in the C-terminal half of the protein. Purified ArsA protein bound a fluorescent ATP analogue, 2',3'-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenylcyclohexadienylidene)adenosine- 5'-triphosphate, with an apparent stoichiometry of 2 mol of nucleotide per mole of ArsA. Strains expressing plasmids with mutations in the N-terminal consensus nucleotide sequence bound only 1 mol of nucleotide per mole of protein.

Young, adult, and old rats were used to study the effect of age on the integrity and functioning of brain synaptosomes. An evaluation was made of the differences in lipid composition, membrane fluidity, Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity, and susceptibility to in vitro lipid peroxidation. There was an age-related increase in synaptosomal free fatty acids, with no modification in acyl chain composition, and a decrease in membrane phospholipids which increased the cholesterol/phospholipid mole ratio. With altered lipid composition, there was a corresponding age-dependent decrease in membrane fluidity, a reduction of Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity, and an overall greater susceptibility to in vitro lipid peroxidation. Furthermore, lipid peroxidation promoted strong modifications of the membrane fluidity, lipid composition, and Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity just as aging did, thus indicating a possible contribution of oxidative damage to ageing processes. The cases studied revealed that the greater responsiveness of old membranes to in vitro lipid peroxidation resulted in the highest degree of membrane alteration, indicating that all pathological states known to promote a peroxidative injury can have even more dramatic consequences when they take place in old brain.

An enriched plasma membrane fraction was isolated from caput, corpus, and cauda rat spermatozoa and analyzed for lipid and protein content, thermal phase transition temperature using electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR), and enzymatic assays of calcium-dependent ATPase activity. Based on sperm concentration, total membrane phospholipid, cholesterol, and protein content declined as sperm passed through the epididymis. A more refined analysis of the bulk plasma membrane phospholipid revealed that approximately 56% of the phospholipid consisted of choline (PC) and ethanolamine (PE) phosphoglycerides; the remainder consisted of sphingomyelin (SM), phosphatidylserine (PS), and diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG). The mole percent of PE increased in sperm proceeding from the caput to the corpus epididymis and then declined from the corpus to the cauda epididymis. The phospholipid-bound fatty acids consisted primarily of palmitate (C16:0) and stearate (C18:0), with a significant increase in the mole percent of the docosapentenoyl acyl group (C22:5) in cauda sperm. Arrhenius' plots of the EPR peak height signals using the lipid soluble spin label, 5-doxyldecane, and the calcium-dependent ATPase activity as a function of temperature demonstrated a change in the apparent fluidity of the membrane and energy of activation of the calcium-dependent ATPase associated with the three sperm membrane preparations. These data suggest that the apparent fluidity and biochemical composition of the sperm membrane change during epididymal maturation.

The Mono Q-III fraction, a Mg2(+)-ATPase, isolated from Acetabularia acetabulum was reconstituted into liposomes of various net charges prepared by the reversed-phase method and tested for a Cl(-)-translocating activity. The liposomes from a mixture of egg lecithin, dicetyl phosphate, and cholesterol (63:18:9 mole ratio, negative liposomes) and from a mixture of egg lecithin and cholesterol (63:9 mole ratio, neutral liposomes) were less leaky than positive liposomes from asolectin, and from a mixture of egg lecithin, stearylamine, and cholesterol (63:18:9 mole ratio). A significant increase in 36Cl- efflux from the negative and neutral liposomes was observed by addition of ATP in the presence of valinomycin after incorporation of the enzyme by short-term dialysis. The ATP-driven 36Cl- efflux was inhibited by addition of azide, an inhibitor of the ATPase. The preincubation of the enzyme with phenylglyoxal, an arginine-modifying reagent, inactivated ATP-mediated 36Cl- efflux, but the ATPase activity of the preparation was not affected. When chloride was replaced by 35SO4(2)-, no ATP-dependent 35SO4(2)- efflux was detectable from the proteoliposomes. Proton-translocating activity of the enzyme was also tested, and no fluorescent quenching of 9-ACMA was observed.

We have investigated the microsecond rotational motions of the Ca-ATPase in rabbit skeletal sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), by measuring the time-resolved phosphorescence anisotropy of erythrosin 5-isothiocyanate (ERITC) covalently and specifically attached to the enzyme. Over a wide range of solvent conditions and temperatures, the phosphorescence anisotropy decay was best fit by a sum of three exponentials plus a constant term. At 4 degrees C, the rotational correlation times were phi 1 = 13 +/- 3 microseconds, phi 2 = 77 +/- 11 microseconds, and phi 3 = 314 +/- 23 microseconds. Increasing the solution viscosity with glycerol caused very little effect on the correlation times, while decreasing the lipid viscosity with diethyl ether decreased the correlation times substantially, indicating that the decay corresponds to rotation of the protein within the membrane, not to vesicle tumbling. The normalized residual anisotropy (A infinity) is insensitive to viscosity and temperature changes, supporting the model of uniaxial rotation of the protein about the membrane normal. The value of A infinity (0.20 +/- .02) indicates that each of the three decay components can be analyzed as a separate rotational species, with the preexponential factor Ai equal to 1.25X the mole fraction. An empirically accurate measurement of the membrane lipid viscosity was obtained, permitting a theoretical analysis of the correlation times in terms of the sizes of the rotating species. At 4 degrees C, the dominant correlation time (phi 3) is too large for a Ca-ATPase monomer, strongly suggesting that the enzyme is primarily aggregated (oligomeric).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

In order to improve our understanding of membrane protein solubilization by sodium dodecylsulphate, sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles have been treated with this surfactant at different detergent: protein mole ratios. Effects on Ca2(+)-ATPase activity, membrane protein solubilization, and protein conformation have been independently monitored, and correlations among the various parameters have been observed. The thermal denaturation of sarcoplasmic reticulum proteins in the presence of sodium dodecylsulphate has also been characterized spectroscopically.

ATP-binding sites in the unphosphorylated Ca2(+)-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles were titrated with 2',3'-O-(2,4,6-trinitrocyclohexadienylidene)-[3H]AMP (TNP-AMP) or -[3H]ATP (TNP-ATP) in the absence of Ca2+ at pH 7.0 and 0 degrees C by using a centrifugation procedure. In some measurements, the bound TNP-nucleotides were chased with ATP. The data were analyzed by best-fit computer programs as well as by Scatchard plots. The results showed the existence of 1 mol of TNP-AMP binding sites with high affinity (Kd = 7.62 nM) per mole of phosphorylatable sites. The affinity of these sites for ATP (Kd = 10.1 microM) agreed with that of catalytic sites for ATP in the absence of Ca2+. The results further showed the existence of 2 mol of TNP-ATP binding sites with uniform affinity (Kd = 156 nM) per mole of phosphorylatable sites. Half of the bound TNP-ATP was fully chased by low concentrations of ATP. The affinity of this class of the sites for ATP (Kd = 8.9 microM) again agreed with that of catalytic sites for ATP. The other half of the bound TNP-ATP was fully chased only by much higher concentrations of ATP. Thus, the affinity of this class of the sites for ATP (Kd = 791 microM) was much lower than that of catalytic sites for ATP. Similar measurements were performed with sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles pretreated by N-(iodoacetyl)-N'-(5-sulfo-1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine. Although the affinities for TNP-ATP and for ATP were appreciably altered by this pretreatment, the results were essentially the same as those obtained with native vesicles.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Previous studies of titratable (Na+ + K+)-ATPase sulfhydryl groups have indicated the presence of one disulfide bond per mole of holoenzyme. This single disulfide cross-link was assigned to the beta subunit on the basis of the difference between the number of titrated "free" sulfhydryl groups and the total number of titrated sulfhydryl groups for each subunit [Esmann, M. (1982) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 688, 251; Kawamura, M., & Nagano, K. (1984) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 694, 27]. In the present study, beta-subunit tryptic peptides containing disulfide cross-links were identified and purified by HPLC. Two new peptides were generated from each disulfide-bonded peptide by reduction with dithiothreitol, and the amino acid compositions of these reduced peptides were determined. The data demonstrate that there are three disulfide bonds in the native beta subunit: 125Cys-148Cys, 158Cys-174Cys, and 212Cys-275Cys. The number of disulfide bonds in the beta subunit was also estimated by titration of sulfhydryl groups with [14C]iodoacetamide. Six sulfhydryl groups were identified: two sulfhydryl groups were titrated without prior reduction, and four were identified only after reduction of the protein with dithiothreitol. These data, suggesting that the beta subunit contains two disulfide bonds, are inconsistent with the peptide isolation experiments, which directly identified three disulfide bonds in the beta subunit. This inconsistency was resolved by demonstrating that approximately 20% of each disulfide bond in the beta subunit was reduced prior to the start of the experiment, resulting in an underestimation of the number of disulfide-bonded sulfhydryl groups in the beta subunit from the titration experiments.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The binding and conformational properties of the divalent cation site required for H+,K(+)-ATPase catalysis have been explored by using Ca2+ as a substitute for Mg2+. 45Ca2+ binding was measured with either a filtration assay or by passage over Dowex cation exchange columns on ice. In the absence of ATP, Ca2+ was bound in a saturating fashion with a stoichiometry of 0.9 mol of Ca2+ per active site and an apparent Kd for free Ca2+ of 332 +/- 39 microM. At ATP concentrations sufficient for maximal phosphorylation (10 microM), 1.2 mol of Ca2+ was bound per active site with an apparent Kd for free Ca2+ of 110 +/- 22 microM. At ATP concentrations greater than or equal to 100 microM, 2.2 mol of Ca2+ were bound per active site, suggesting that an additional mole of Ca2+ bound in association with low affinity nucleotide binding. At concentrations sufficient for maximal phosphorylation by ATP (less than or equal to 10 microM), APD, ADP + Pi, beta,gamma-methylene-ATP, CTP, and GTP were unable to substitute for ATP. Active site ligands such as acetyl phosphate, phosphate, and p-nitrophenyl phosphate were also ineffective at increasing the Ca2+ affinity. However, vanadate, a transition state analog of the phosphoenzyme, gave a binding capacity of 1.0 mol/active site and the apparent Kd for free Ca2+ was less than or equal to 18 microM. Mg2+ displaced bound Ca2+ in the absence and presence of ATP but Ca2+ was bound about 10-20 times more tightly than Mg2+. The free Mg2+ affinity, like Ca2+, increased in the presence of ATP. Monovalent cations had no effect on Ca2+ binding in the absence of ATP but dit reduce Ca2+ binding in the presence of ATP (K+ = Rb+ = NH4 + greater than Na+ greater than Li+ greater than Cs+ greater than TMA+, where TMA is tetramethylammonium chloride) by reducing phosphorylation. These results indicate that the Ca2+ and Mg2+ bound more tightly to the phosphoenzyme conformation. Eosin fluorescence changes showed that both Ca2+ and Mg2+ stabilized E1 conformations (i.e. cytosolic conformations of the monovalent cation site(s)) (Ca.E1 and Mg.E1). Addition of the substrate acetyl phosphate to either Ca.E1 or Mg.E1 produced identical eosin fluorescence showing that Ca2+ and Mg2+ gave similar E2 (extracytosolic) conformations at the eosin (nucleotide) site. In the presence of acetyl phosphate and K+, the conformations with Ca2+ or Mg2+ were also similar. Comparison of the kinetics of the phosphoenzyme and Ca2+ binding showed that Ca2+ bound prior to phosphorylation and dissociated after dephosphorylation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

1. In order to determine the stoichiometry of K+ uptake and ATP consumption by Na+, K(+)-ATPase in the isolated, perfused mandibular gland of the rat, oxygen consumption and net K+ uptake from the vascular side were measured during the recovery period following K+ depletion by stimulation with acetylcholine in combination with ouabain. 2. Acetylcholine (10(-6) M) induced fluid secretion and an initial, transient release of K+ from the gland. Addition of ouabain suppressed salivary fluid secretion and caused an additional, dose-dependent, transient release of K+. 3. With acetylcholine (10(-6) M), the oxygen consumption of the gland increased to 62.4 +/- 4.2 microliters/(g min) from a resting value of 12.9 +/- 1.2 microliters/(g min). The increased oxygen consumption was suppressed by ouabain, in a dose-dependent fashion. 4. Withdrawal of acetylcholine and ouabain induced a net uptake of K+ and, simultaneously, an increase in oxygen consumption. The cumulative K+ uptake and the increment of oxygen consumption during the recovery period were dependent on the concentration of used ouabain. 5. The rates of K+ uptake and ATP hydrolysis were compared during recovery, assuming that six moles of ATP were hydrolysed for each mole of oxygen consumed. The data obtained during the later phase of the recovery lay on a single straight line with a slope of 1.8 for each of the various concentrations of ouabain, suggesting that the relationship between K+ uptake and energy consumption was linear. 6. Assuming the K+:ATP stoichiometry of the Na+, K(+)-ATPase to be 2:1, K+ would appear to be transported with ca 90% efficiency by Na+, K(+)-ATPase in the rat mandibular gland. Using 1.8-2.0 as a K+/ATP stoichiometry, the rate of primary active K+ uptake and the corresponding passive K+ efflux during secretion were estimated to be 20-22 mumol/(g min) from the oxygen consumption and the net K+ flux. 7. The passive K+ efflux was estimated, from the initial rate of K+ release caused by addition of 10(-3) M-ouabain, to be 30 mumol/g min). The discrepancy between the estimated active K+ uptake and passive K+ release (8-10 mumol/(g min] could be attributed to a secondary active K+ uptake process such as Na(+)-K(+)-2Cl-symport.
