Aqueous suspensions of bacteriorhodopsin in purple membrane fragments from Halobacterium halobium have bben subjected to microsecond flash photometry utilizing both unpolarized and polarized light. Depletion of the ground state chromophore centered at 570 nm is accompanied by the formation of transients absorbing maximally at 410 nm and 660 nm with rise times of about 0.4 and 6 ms, respectively. Decay of both transients and reformation of the ground state chromophore occurs with identical first-order kinetics with a half life of about 6 ms. All three chromophores are polarized with dichroic ratios which remain constant throughout the transient lifetimes, indicating that Brownian rotation of the chromophore within the membrane is considerably restricted. Whereas agents which induce permeability of membranes to protons (2,4-dinitrophenol, carbonylcyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone) and non-specific univalent cations (gramicidin) or inhibit ATPase (ouabain) had no influence, the K+-specific ionophore valinomycin in the presence of K+ inhibited and quenched the formation of the 660 nm transient with concomitant increase in lifetime of the 410 nm transient and delay in recovery of the 570 nm chromophore. High concentrations of Na+ produced an effect similar to that of valinomycin. The relationship of these data to the mechanism of the proton pump in the intact bacterium is discussed, with the conclusion that the 410 nm transient performs a key role.

Gastric (H+/K+)-ATPase, the proton pump of the parietal cell, is responsible for the final step of acid secretion in the stomach. In 1981, picoprazole, a substituted benzimidazole, was found to inhibit (H+/K+)-ATPase. It was reported in 1983 that omeprazole has the most potent efficacy among the substituted benzimidazoles and today, omeprazole has been used for treatment of gastroduodenal disease. Recently, lansoprazole, similar to omeprazole in chemical structure, was developed in Japan, and several other compounds, such as pantoprazole, E-3810 and NC-1300-O-3, have also been reported to suppress acid secretion through inhibition of (H+/K+)-ATPase. In the present paper the background of the discovery of (H+/K+)-ATPase and development of proton pump inhibitors is reviewed.

In recent studies, proton pump inhibitors, such as omeprazole, were found to be transformed into sulfenamide derivatives in the acid space of isolated parietal cells. It is considered that these sulfenamide derivatives mainly inhibit H+, K(+)-ATPase activity. To clarify the inhibitory mechanism of proton pump inhibitors, we studied the effect on acid secretion of the isolated parietal cells. Proton pump inhibitors inhibited histamine-, carbachol- and gastrin-stimulated 14C-aminopyrine accumulation. Db-cAMP stimulation was also inhibited by these inhibitors. Consequently, it is believed that the origin of H+, K(+)-ATPase was located in the final stage of the acid production.

Proton pump inhibitors are classified into two distinct types, and the mechanisms are reviewed. Substituted benzimidazole such as omeprazole and lansorrazole, inhibit (H+ + K+)-ATPase by reacting with SH groups of enzyme after the drugs are transformed into their active forms in the acidic environment of the intracellular canaliculi of parietal cells. This type of enzyme inhibition results in potent and long-lasting inhibition of gastric acid secretion. On the other hand, substituted imidazo pyridines, such as SCH 28080, inhibit (H+ + K+)-ATPase by competing with K+. This inhibition is reversible and the antisecretory effect is short-lived. Recent studies on DNA cloning and sequencing for (H+ + K+)-ATPase have led to a better understanding of enzyme structure and also the sites of action of the proton pump inhibitors.

Proton pump inhibitor is a compound recently applied for the treatment of peptic ulcers for its strong action to inhibit the gastric acid secretion. It works through inhibition of H+, K(+)-ATPase, so called proton pump, on the luminal surface of secretory canaliculi in the parietal cells, showing remarkable characteristics in the inhibition of gastric acid secretion; e.g., the long-acting and complete inhibition. At neutral pH, the unionized form of this compound as a weak base is lipophilic, and passes through the cell membrane to accumulate as the ionized form in an acidic environment in the secretory canaliculi of parietal cells, where it is transformed to an active molecule which binds covalently to the active site of H+, K(+)-ATPase, forming a highly stable complex. The long-acting and complete inhibition of gastric acid secretion by this compound is derived from this physico-chemical nature. The above characteristics of the proton pump inhibitor have been confirmed with the basal, stimulated and nocturnal gastric acid secretion and the 24-hour intragastric pH of healthy volunteers by several investigators prior to its nation-wide clinical trial in Japan. On the other hand, the increased endocrine and exocrine secretion, such as pepsin secretion and gastrin release, and the increased turnover of gastrointestinal endocrine cells by this compound have been reported in animal models, probably due to its accumulation in the acidic environment.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

An N-ethylmaleimide (NEM)-sensitive adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) displaying the kinetic and pharmacological properties of an electrogenic proton pump has been described in the different segments of rat nephron, where it mediates part of the active tubular proton secretion. This study was therefore designed to evaluate whether changes in urinary acidification observed during metabolic acidosis or alkalosis were associated with alterations of the activity of tubular NEM-sensitive ATPase, and if so, to localize the nephron segments responsible for these changes. Within 1 wk after the onset of ammonium chloride treatment, rats developed a metabolic acidosis, and NEM-sensitive ATPase activity was markedly increased in the medullary thick ascending limb of Henle's loop and outer medullary collecting tubule, and slightly increased in the cortical collecting tubule. Conversely, treatment with sodium bicarbonate induced a metabolic alkalosis that was accompanied by decreased NEM-sensitive ATPase activity in medullary thick ascending limb and outer medullary collecting tubule. NEM-sensitive ATPase activity was not altered in any other nephron segment tested in alkalotic and acidotic rats, i.e., the proximal tubule and the cortical thick ascending limb of Henle's loop. Changes qualitatively similar were observed as soon as 3 h after the onset of NaHCO3 or NH4Cl-loading. In the medullary collecting tubule, alterations of NEM-sensitive ATPase activity are in part due to hyperaldosteronism observed in both acidotic and alkalotic rats.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Previous studies have suggested the presence of an H(+)-K(+)-ATPase in rat cortical and medullary intercalated cells with similar properties to the gastric proton pump. The purpose of this study was to determine the functional contribution of an H(+)-K(+)-adenosinetriphosphatase(ATPase) to total CO2 (tCO2) transport along the rat collecting duct. After baseline determination of tCO2 transport in isolated perfused collecting duct segments, Sch 28080 (10 microM) was added to either the perfusate or bath. When Sch 28080 was added to the perfusate, there was no effect in the cortical collecting duct (CCD, 20.8 +/- 6.7 vs. 25.3 + 3.0 pmol.mm-1.min-1), but a marked decrease in tCO2 absorption was effected in both the outer medullary (OMCD, 37.6 + 6.2 vs. 10.7 +/- 4.1 pmol.mm-1.min-1) and initial inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD1, 34.4 +/- 8.1 vs. 16.2 +/- 5.6 pmol.mm-1.min-1). In the CCD from rats with acute alkalosis in vivo, Sch 28080 added to the bath inhibited tCO2 secretion in the CCD (-17.1 +/- 4.4 vs 3.5 + 3.3 pmol.mm-1.min-1). These findings suggest that 1) H(+)-K(+)-ATPase is important in tCO2 absorption in the OMCD and IMCD1 and in tCO2 secretion in the CCD, 2) HCO3(-)-absorbing intercalated cells differ functionally in the cortex and medulla, 3) HCO3- secretion is not the reverse process of HCO3- absorption in the CCD, and 4) H(+)-K(+)-ATPase is important in distal acidification under normal and altered acid-base conditions.

We have previously shown that tomato lectin binds specifically to the 60-90 kDa membrane glycoprotein of parietal cell tubulovesicles, the beta-subunit of the gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase (proton pump) [Callaghan, Toh, Pettitt, Humphris & Gleeson (1990) J. Cell Sci. 95, 563-576; Toh, Gleeson, Simpson, Mortiz, Callaghan, Goldkorn, Jones, Martinelli, Mu, Humphris, Pettitt, Mori, Masuda, Sobieszczuk, Weinstock, Mantamadiotis & Baldwin (1990) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 87, 6418-6422]. Here we have exploited this interaction for the development of a rapid single-step chromatography procedure for the purification of an active pig gastric proton pump complex. Initially, H+/K(+)-ATPase-enriched membranes, prepared from pig gastric microsomes by density-gradient centrifugation, were extracted in 1% Triton X-100 and passed through a 1 ml tomato lectin-Sepharose 4B column. The bound material, eluted with 20 mM-chitotriose, showed a major band with an apparent molecular mass of 95 kDa, and a faint broad band of 60-90 kDa, by SDS/PAGE. N-Glycanase treatment of the bound material resulted in the appearance of a 35 kDa band, the size of the protein core of the 60-90 kDa glycoprotein beta-subunit. The two components were identified as the 95 kDa alpha-subunit and the 60-90 kDa beta-subunit of the gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase, by immunoreactivity with monospecific antibodies, and by tryptic peptide sequences of the tomato-lectin-bound material. The beta-subunit was present in approximately equimolar amounts to the catalytic alpha-subunit. Whereas the gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase was not active after solubilization in 1% Triton X-100, solubilization of density-gradient-purified membranes in the non-ionic detergent, C12E8, followed by chromatography of the extract on tomato lectin-Sepharose 4B, resulted in the purification of the gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase complex which exhibited K(+)-dependent phosphatase activity. This is the first report of a rapid purification of a partially active solubilized gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase complex.

Change of the internal pH of isolated lysosomes was measured with fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran. In buffer of pH 7.0, isolated lysosomes had an acidic pH of about 5.5, which decreased to pH 5.2 on addition of ATP. Addition of bafilomycin inhibited the acidification by H(+)-ATPase and resulted in an increase of the internal pH to 5.5 due to passive diffusion of protons across the lysosomal membrane. However, no further alkalization was observed. The acidic pH (pH 5.5) of isolated lysosomes could be maintained for at least 48 h in the absence of ATP, but increased gradually to pH 5.9-6.4 upon incubation with monovalent cations (K+ or Na+), amines, or ionophores. These results suggest that a non-proton pump factor (possibly Donnan equilibrium) is involved in maintaining the acidic pH of isolated lysosomes.

Circulating parietal cell autoantibodies, a useful diagnostic marker for autoimmune gastritis and pernicious anaemia, are currently routinely tested by serum immunofluorescence reactivity with frozen sections of rodent stomach. The major molecular targets of these parietal cell autoantibodies have recently been demonstrated to be the alpha- and the beta-subunits of the gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase (proton pump). We have demonstrated that tomato lectin binds specifically to the beta-subunit of the proton pump and concomittantly co-purifies the alpha-subunit. In the present study, we have exploited the latter observation for the development of a diagnostic ELISA for the detection of parietal cell autoantibodies and compared the performance of this assay with an ELISA using crude gastric membranes. The ELISAs were tested on 72 parietal cell autoantibody-positive sera, 72 parietal cell autoantibody-negative sera and 72 disease-control sera. The ELISA using lectin-purified canine proton pump was superior to that using crude canine gastric membranes in that it was about two-fold more sensitive (82% vs. 43%). With an assay sensitivity of 82% and a specificity of 90%, we propose that the ELISA using the lectin-purified proton pump is a rapid, simple, sensitive and specific diagnostic immunoassay for parietal cell autoantibodies.
