A myosin-like protein was extracted and partially purified from a flowering plant, Egeria densa. It had no p-nitrophenyl phosphatase activity, but exhibited EDTA(K+)-ATPase [EC 3.6.1.3] activity at high ionic strength. Its molecular weight as estimated by gel filtration was 4-5 X 10(5). The presence of a heavy chain (MW = about 1.8 X 10(5)) was indicated by SDS-gel electrophoresis. Egeria myosin aggregated in an environment of low ionic strength and formed bipolar filaments. It bound with skeletal muscle F-actin with a periodicity of 40 nm.

1. Crayfish (Procambarus clarki) myosin was obtained from abdominal flexor muscle. The Ca2+-ATPase activity of crayfish myosin was much lower than that of rabbit skeletal myosin. However, F-actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase of crayfish and its superprecipitation closely resembled those of rabbit skeletal myosin. This fact suggests that the ability of crayfish myosin to combine with F-actin is essentially the same as that of skeletal myosin, although the chemical structures of both the myosin molecules when involved in their Ca2+-ATPast activity must be different from each other. 2. Crayfish and rabbit skeletal myosins were subjected to SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Crayfish myosin was found to have one heavy chain and two distinct light chain components (CF-gl and CF-g2), which have molecular weights of 18,000 and 16,000, respectively. These light chains correspond in molecular weight to the light chains (SK-g2 and SK-g3) in rabbit skeletal myosin. 3. CF-g1 could be liberated from the crayfish myosin molecule reacting with 5,5'-dithio-bis (2-nitrobenzoic acid), (Nbs2), without recovery of ATPase activity by the addition of DTT. These properties are equivalent to those of SK-g2 in rabbit skeletal myosin, although Nbs2-treated crayfish myosin did not recover its ATPase activity at all.

The latent coupling factor (F1)-ATPase of Micrococcus lysodeikticus has been purified to homogeneity as determined by a number of criteria including, nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, crossed immunoelectrophoresis and analytical ultracentrifugation. By inclusion of 1 mM phenylmethyl sulfonyl fluoride, a serine protease inhibitor, in the shock-wash step of release of F1 from the membranes, the spontaneous activation of both crude and purified ATPase by endogenous membrane protease(s) can be prevented, thereby yielding a highly latent ATPase preparation. Equilibrium ultracentrifugation of the latent ATPase gave a molecular weight of 400 000. The ATPase contained five different subunits alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and espsilon and their molecular weights determined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were 60 000, 54 000, 37 000, 27 000 and 9000, respectively. The subunit composition was determined with 14C-labelled, F1-ATPase prepared from cells grown on medium containing [U-14C]-labelled algal protein hydrolysate. Within the limitations of this method the results tentatively suggest a subunit composition of 3 : 3 : 1 : 1 : 3.

1. Dynein was extracted with 0.5 M KCl from Tetrahymena axonemes. SDS-gel electrophoresis of the extract indicated that about 50% of the extracted protein had a molecular weight of about 3.5 X 10(5), and that 90% of the proteins with this weight had been extracted. 2. The ATPase [EC 3.6.1.3] reaction of the KCl-extracted dynein fraction was enhanced by 60-80% by addition of the outer doublet fraction. It showed an initial burst of Pi liberation of about 1 mol per mol of proteins with a molecular weight of 3.5 X 10(5). 3. We examined the interaction of the dynein-tubulin system from Tetrahymena cilia with ten ATP analogs [2'-dATP, 3'-dATP, epsilonATP, FTP, 8-NH(CH3)-ATP, 8,3'-S-cyclo-ATP, 8-Br-ATP, 8-OCH3-ATP, 8-SCH3-ATP, and AMPPNP]. Among them, 2'-dATP and 3'-dATP were good substrates for dynein ATPase, as they induced the dissociation of dynein arms from the B-tubule of outer doublets, the sliding movement between outer doublets, and the bending movement of axonemes. The other analogs did not induce the dissociation or the sliding movement. 4. Among the ATP analogs tested, only 2'-dATP and 3'-dATP induced the reorientation of cilia on the Triton model of Tetrahymena; the reorientation rates were smaller than that induced by ATP.

1. An ATPase complex containing 12 subunits was isoalted from rat liver mitochondria. 2. In vivo inhibition of mitochondrial protein synthesis by the chloramphenicol analogue thiamphenicol leads to the formation of an oligomycin-insensitive membrane-bound ATPase complex in mitochondria of regenerating rat liver. 3. This oligomycin-insensitive, membrane-bound ATPase was isolated by the same procedure as the ATPase complex from regenerating livers of untreated animals. 4. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of in vivo labelled ATPase complexes from control and from thiamphenicol-treated rats reveals that three subunits out of the 12 are not synthesized or assembled when the mitochondrial translation activity is blocked. 5. From the subunits synthesized and assembled when mitochondrial pror (Fo) of the ATPase complex (subunit 5). 6. The oligomycin sensitivity-conferring protein seems absent in the ATPase complex formed in the presence of thiamphenicol.

Corticosteroid myopathy was studied in young, mature New Zealand white rabbits given daily injections of betamethasone (0.3 mg/kg body weight/day) for two weeks. Control rabbits were pair-fed and received saline injections. Bethamethasone treatment caused significant wasting of type 2 gluteus medius and psoas muscles but did not cause any atrophy of type 1 soleus and gluteus minimus muscles. The Mg2+- and Ca2+-activated myofibrillar ATPase activities of the corticosteroid-treated rabbits did not differ from controls despite a 30% reduction in muscle wet weight and pronounced reduction in cross-sectional area of fibers. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis profiles of myofibrillar proteins did not differ quantitatively or qualitatively between experimental and control rabbits. Studies of net muscle protein degradation (using 3H-leucine) in betamethasone-treated and control rabbits indicate that both type 1 and type 2 muscle fiber proteins are degraded several times faster in the corticosteroid-treated group. This suggests that a compensatory mechanism exists for those type 1 and mixed fiber type muscles which have increased degradation but do not undergo wasting.

At least three mechanical changes characterize the response of cardiac muscle to agents that enhance cyclic AMP production. In common with other inotropic interventions, tension is augmented and the rate of tension rise is increased. The third response, acceleration of the rate of relaxation, is characteristic of the actions of beta-adrenergic agonists. These mechanical effects can be attributed to changes in (1) the amount of Ca2+ released during systole, (2) the rate of Ca2+ release at the onset of systole, and (3) the rate at which Ca2+ is reaccumulated by the sarcoplasmic reticulum at the end of systole. The ability of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases to phosphorylate the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum in vitro parallels stimulation of both Ca2+ transport and Ca2+-activated ATPase. The phosphoprotein formed in the presence of cyclic AMP and protein kinase has the chemical characteristics of a phosphoester, contains mostly phosphoserine, and has an electrophoretic mobility in SDS polyacrylamide gels that corresponds to a protein of 22,000 daltons. This 22,000-dalton protein, tentatively named phospholamban, thus differs from the acyl phosphooprotein formed by the Ca2+-transport ATPase, which as an apparent molecular weight of 90,000 to 100,000 daltons. Phospholamban has not been found in fast skeletal muscle, nor is Ca2+ transport accelerated by cyclic AMP and protein kinase in sarcoplasmic reticulum from these muslces which do not respond to beta-adrenergic agonists with accelerated relaxation. It thus appears likely that phosphorylation of phospholamban correlates both with an increased rate of Ca2+ transport by cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum in vitro and accelerated relaxation in the intact myocardium. Preliminary findings are consistent with the view that phosphorylation of phospholamban may be related to other actions on Ca2+ fluxes brought about by agents which activate adenylate cyclase in the myocardium, but these interpretations must remain speculative pending more definitive studies.

The time course of binding of N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) to the SR was measured at pH 7.5 in the presence or absence of ATP or ADP. The following results were obtained. 1. Both in the presence and absence of nucleotide, the ATPase [EC 3.6.1.3] activity decreased linearly with increase in the amount of NEM bound to the fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), and was inhibited almost completely by the binding of 2 moles of NEM per 10(5) g of the SR protein. 2. The amount of NEM incorporated into the ATPase (M.W.=105,000) was measured by SDS disc-gel electrophoresis. It was shown that the ATPase activity was inhibited almost completely by the binding of 2 moles of NEM per mole of ATPase. 3. The rate of binding of NEM to SR decreased by 30-40% in the presence of either ATP or ADP. The concentrations of both ATP and ADP for half-saturation were 0.1-0.2mM. 4. The effect of nucleotide on the rate of binding of NEM was not changed by the presence of Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions. Similar effects were also observed even when the SR membranes were solubilized with Triton X-100. It is suggested from these results that one or two SH groups are located in the active site of the SR ATPase, and that conformational changes are induced by the addition of ATP and ADP.

Membrane preparations of erythrocytes from normal and P. chabaudi-infected mice and membrane preparations of P. chabaudi-infected and uninfected erythrocytes from infected mice and separated by zonal centrifugation were characterized by the pattern of proteins and extracted glycoproteins obtained by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and by the specific activities of membrane associated enzymes. The protein pattern of the membrane preparation of infected erythrocytes showed similar differences from membrane preparations of normal erythrocytes as those described by Weidekamm et al. for P. berghei. The pattern of glycoproteins extracted by the chloroform-methanol method showed characteristic differences as compared to the controls. A new band (PASi) with a molecular weight of about 165,000 corresponds with the protein band IIa. In membrane preparations of normal erythrocytes and of nonparasitized erythrocytes separated from parasitized erythrocytes by zonal centrifugation was no difference in specific activities of ATPase, adenylate kinase and acetylcholinesterase. Adenylate kinase activity was markedly increased and acetyl-cholinesterase activity was slightly increased in membrane preparations of infected cells. Specific activities of ATPase of membrane preparations of normal and parasitized erythrocytes did not show significant differences. There was a decrease in enzyme activity of ATPase and an increase of acetylcholinesterase in Triton X 100 containing samples. Specific activities of an acid phosphatase were lower in membrane preparations of parasitized cells than in the controls.

A postsynaptic density (PSD) fraction, including some adherent subsynaptic web material, has been isolated from dog cerebral cortex by a short-procedure modification of methods of Davis and Bloom (21, 22) and Cotman and Taylor (20), using Triton X-100. The fraction has been visualized by thin-section, replica, and negative (phosphotungstic acid) staining electron microscopy and its proteins separated by high-resoltuion SDS gel electrophoresis. Morphologically, the preparation seems to be quite pure, with very little membrane contamination. The density is composed of protein, no nuclei acids, and very little phospholipids being detectable. The fraction had no ATPase or GTPase activity, but it did have a very small amount of cytochrome c oxidase activity (of a specific activity less than 0.5 percent that of a mitochondrial fraction) and a small amount of 5'- nucleotidase activity (of a specific activity between 6 and 7 percent that of a synaptic membrane fraction). Electron micrographs reveal cup-shaped structures approximately 400nm long and approximately 40nm wide, made up of apparent particles 13-28nm in diameter. However, en face views, and particularly micrographs of replicas and PTA-stained preparations, reveal a disk-shaped structure, outside diameter approximately 400 nm, in which filaments are seen to extend from the central part of the density. High resolution gel electrophoresis studies indicated some 15 major proteins and perhaps 10 or more minor ones; the predominant protein had a mol wt of 51,000, followed by ones at 45,000, 40,000, 31,000, 26,000, and several at 100,000. A comparison by gel electrophoresis of density fraction proteins with those of a lysed synaptosomal membrane fraction containing some adherent densities indicated some comigrating proteins, but the major membrane fraction protein, mol wt 52,000, was not found in the density fraction. Antibodies raised against the density fraction reacted with a preparation of solubilized synaptic membrane proteins. By both these criteria, it was considered that the density and the synaptic membrane have some proteins in common. By separately mixing (125)I-labeled myelin, synaptic vesicle, and mitochondrial fraction proteins with synaptosomes, and then isolating the density fraction from the mixture, it was concluded that a major 26,000 mol wt density fraction protein was common to both mitochondria and density, that none of the proteins of the density were contaminants from the mitochondrial fraction, that a minor approximately 150,000 band was a contaminant from the synaptic vesicle fraction, and that the moderately staining PSD fraction protein of 17,000 mol wt band was the result of contamination by the major basic protein of myelin. On the basis of the marker enzymatic assays and the mixing experiments, it is considered that the density fraction is moderately pure biochemically, and that its protein composition, aside from a few exceptions noted above, reflects its in situ character.
