The rate of enzymic reaction of ATP, ITP, GTP with myosin is studied in the presence of potassiu, ammonium and calcium ions in H2O--D2O solutions. There is no kinetic isotope effect of ITPase and GTPase reaction in the neutral pH region (VHVD = 1). The value VH/VD for the ATPase reaction in the pH range from 6.5 to 8.5 with all cations studied varies from 1.05 to 1.26. Such changes of myosin enzymic activity in D2O infer that small changes in the interaction of subunits is not the decisive one in the regulation of myosin ATPase. The equality of isotope effects in potassium salts and ammonium solution suggests that a specific effect of ammonium ion as a proton donor affects the ATPase reaction of myosin. The relationship between the value of isotope effect and D2O concentration in solution in non-linear. The shape of concentration curve suggests essential conformational changes of myosin during ATP hydrolysis.

The mechanism of protein synthesis inhibition by the toxic lectins, abrin and ricin, has been studied in crude and in purified cell-free systems from rabbit reticulocytes and Krebs II ascites cells. In crude systems abrin and ricin strongly inhibited protein synthesis from added aminoacyl-tRNA, demonstrating that the toxins act at some point after the charging of tRNA. Supernatant factors and polysomes washed free of elongation factors were treated separately with the toxins and then neutralizing amounts of anti-toxins were added. Recombination experiments between toxin-treated ribosomes and untreated supernatant factors and vice versa showed that the toxin-treated ribosomes had lost most of their ability to support polyphenylalanine synthesis, whereas treatment of the supernatant factors with the toxins did not inhibit polypeptide synthesis. Recombination experiments between toxin-treated isolated 40-S subunits and untreated 60-S subunits and vice versa showed that only when the 60-S subunits had been treated with the toxins was protein synthesis inhibited in the reconstituted system. The incorporation of [3H]puromycin into nascent peptide chains was unaffected by the toxins, indicating that the peptidyl transferase is not inhibited. Both the EF-1-catalyzed and the EF-2-catalyzed ability of the ribosomes to hydrolyze [gamma-32P]GTP was inhibited by abrin and ricin. An 8-S complex released from the 60-S subunit by EDTA treatment possessed both GTPase and ATPase activity, while the particle remaining after the EDTA treatment had lost most of its GTPase activity. Both enzyme activities of the 8-S complex were inhibited by abrin and ricin. The present data indicate that there is a common site on the 60-S subunits for EF-1- and EF-2- stimulated GTPase activity and they suggest that abrin and ricin inhibit protein synthesis by modifying this site.

Reconstitution experiments showed that the two Escherichia coli 5S RNA binding proteins L18 and L25 form a specific complex with yeast 5.8S RNA and not with yeast 5S RNA. The yeast 5.8S RNA-E. coli protein complex was found to exhibit ATPase and GTPase activities that had previously been observed for the E. coli 5S RNA-protein complex. The tetranucleotide UpUpCpG, which is an analog of the tRNA fragment TpsipCpG, interacted strongly with 5S RNA-protein complexes from E. coli and Bacillus stearothermophilus and weakly with yeast 5.8S RNA. UpUpCpG did not bind to E. coli, B. stearothermophilus, or yeast 5S RNA or to the yeast 5.8S RNA-E. coli protein complex. It is suggested that 5.8S RNA evolved from prokaryotic 5S RNA and that the latter two RNAs are related and have similar functions in protein synthesis.

A 5-S RNA . protein complex has been isolated from the 50-S ribosomal subunit of an extreme halophile, Halobacterium cutirubrum. The 50-S ribosomal subunit from the extreme halophile requires 3.4 M K+ and 100 mM Mg2+ for stability. However, if the high K+ concentration is maintained but the Mg2+ concentration lowered to 0.3 mM, the 5-S RNA . protein complex is selectively extracted from the subunit. After being purified on an Agarose 0.5-m column the complex had a molecular weight of about 80000 and contained 5-S RNA and two proteins, HL13 and HL19, with molecular weights (by sedimentation equilibrium) of 18700 and 18000, respectively. No ATPase or GTPase activity could be detected in the 5-S RNA . protein complex. The amino acid composition and electrophoretic mobility on polyacrylamide gels indicated both proteins were much more acidic than the equivalent from Escherichia coli or Bacillus stearothermophilus. Partial amino acid sequence data suggest HL13 is homologous to EL18 and HL19 to EL5.

1. A ribosome-independent GTPase activity has been isolated from the high-speed supernatant fraction of Artemia salina embryos, and some of its properties have been studied. This activity is inhibited by fusidic acid, an antibiotic generally thought to inhibit only EF-2 in eukaryotes. However, several lines of evidence indicate that the GTPase activity, described here, is distinct from EF-2. The results suggest, therefore, that the inhibitory effect of fusidic acid in eukaryotic systems is not restricted to EF-2 (and ribosome)-dependent functions only. 2. The results of other experiments have revealed that, despite its ability to inhibit the GTPase activity mentioned above, fusidic acid is not a non-specific inhibitor of all ribosome-independent GTPase and ATPase activities present in eukaryotic cells.

The elongation factor 1- and elongation factor 2-dependent GTPase (guanosine triphosphatase) activities of ribosomes are inhibited by ricin, a toxic protein known to inactivate the 60S ribosomal subunit. It is suggested that also in eukaryotic ribosomes a "GTPase site', located on the larger subunit, is common to the two elongation factors.

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.

The recently discovered heat-stable inhibitor protein of the Ca2+-activated cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (Sharma, R. K., Wirch, E. & Warg, J. H. (1978) J. Biol. Chem., in press) has been purified 238 214-fold from bovine brain extract using an affinity column of the modulator protein--Sepharose 4B conjugate. The purified sample appears to be homogeneous as judged by sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) gel electrophoresis. The protein band has a mobility corresponding to that of a polypeptide of molecular weight 68 000. Since the heat-stable inhibitor protein has a molecular weight of 70 000 under nondenaturing conditions, it suggests that it is a monomeric protein. The protein has no inhibitory activity toward the cAMP-dependent protein kinase or protein phosphatase. The purified sample has been tested for various enzyme activities which include ATPase, GTPase, cAMP phosphodiesterase, cGMP phosphodiesterase, 5'-nucleotidase, and protein kinase. None of these activities are exhibited by the purified sample.

The mechanism of the Mg2+-dependent myosin subfragment 1 catalyzed hydrolysis of GTP and 2-amino-6-mercapto-9-beta-ribofuranosylpurine 5'-triphosphate (thioGTP) has been investigated by rapid-reaction techniques. The myosin was isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle. The steady-state intermediate of these reactions consists pre-dominantly of a protein-substrate complex unlike the myosin subfragment 1 ATPase reaction which has a protein-products complex as the principal steady-state component. The mechanism of GTP hydrolysis catalyzed by subfragment 1 has other marked differences from the ATPase mechanism. The second-order rate constant of binding of GTP to subfragment 1 is tenfold greater than that for GDP binding. The dissociation rate constant of GDP from subfragment 1 is 0.06 s-1 compared with the subfragment 1 catalytic center activity for GTP hydrolysis of 0.5 s-1 at pH 8.0 and 20 degrees C. This shows that GDP bound to subfragment 1 forms a complex which is not kinetically competent to be an intermediate of the GTPase mechanism. GDP is hydrolyzed in the presence of subfragment 1 to GMP and Pi. The subfragment 1 GTPase mechanism has a nuber if features in common with that of the elongation factor Tu GTPase of the protein biosynthetic system of Escherichia coli.

The T4 bacteriophage gene 41 protein is known from genetic analysis to be essential for phage DNA replication in vivo. It became possible to monitor the activity of this protein during purification after development of an "in vitro complementation assay," which measures its stimulation of DNA synthesis in a concentrated crude lysate prepared from Escherichia coli cells infected with a T4 bacteriophage mutant in gene 41 (L. Moran and B. Alberts, manuscript in preparation). In this report, a purification procedure involving three chromatographic steps is described which reproducibly yields a 90% homogeneous preparation of this rather unstable protein. The major polypeptide chain present (58,000 daltons) is shown to cosediment with a DNA-dependent GTPase (and ATPase) activity, and to induce extensive in vitro DNA synthesis on both single- and double-stranded DNA templates when incubated with our preparations of five other purified T4 DNA replication proteins (plus deoxyribonucleoside and ribonucleoside triphosphates).
