Fractions enriched in hCG-binding activity were prepared by differential rate centrifugation of superovulated rat ovarian homogenates and were applied to continuous sucrose density gradients (20-55%). After centrifugation at 63,000 x gav for 3.5 h, fractions of each gradient were collected and assayed for a range of marker enzyme activities characteristic of surface membranes and subcellular organelles. Mitochondria, lysosomes, and rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum membranes accumulated in the gradient between 38-41% sucrose (1.165-1.180 g/cm3). Nuclei passed through the gradient. However, the various surface membrane markers concentrated in two distinct regions of the gradient. Alkaline phosphatase, phosphodiesterase, (Na+ + K+)ATPase I, and hCG-binding activity concentrated at 29-32% sucrose (1.120-1.135 g/cm3), whereas 5'-nucleotidase, Mg2+-dependent ATPase, and adenylate cyclase activities (and minor peaks of hCG-binding and phosphodiesterase activities) were enriched at 36-38% sucrose (1.16-1.17 g/cm3). A second ATPase, [(Na+ + K+)ATPase II], was also observed in this region of the gradient, which could be distinguished from (Na+ + K+)ATPase I of the light membrane fraction by its sensitivity to the Ca2+-chelating agent, ethylene glycol bis-(aminoethyl)tetraacetic acid (EGTA). The kinetics of binding of radioiodinated hCG to the gonadotropin receptors of the light and heavy membrane fractions were very similar. It is suggested that fractionation of superovulated rat ovaries yields two distinct populations of surface membrane material which have distinct densities and marker enzyme profiles. Furthermore, in contrast to the heavy membrane fraction, light membranes seem to possess considerable amounts of hCG receptor activity but very little adenylate cyclase.

Human platelet plasma membranes were isolated with polylysine beads according to the technique developed by Jacobson and Branton (1977, Science [Wash. D. C.] 195:302--304). Lactoperoxidase-catalyzed surface iodination revealed that ninefold greater 125I specific activity was associated with the membranes isolated on beads than with whole platelets. Enrichment in the bead membrane preparation of the activities of membrane marker enzymes, bis(p-nitrophenyl)phosphate phosphodiesterase and Na,K-ATPase, was 8.0 and 4.4, respectively. Contamination with enzymes of other organelles, cytochrome oxidase and beta-glucuronidase, was relatively low as compared with membranes isolated by sucrose gradient centrifugation. Analysis by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that a full complement of surface glycoproteins was present on the membranes isolated with polylysine beads. The polylysine bead technique is a rapid, reproducible and efficient method for the preparation of relatively pure platelet plasma membranes.

1. The multiple forms of acid phosphohydrolases in liver lysosomes of Sus scrofa domesticus and Gallus gallus domesticus were studied by use of isoelectric focusing. 2. Acid phosphatase was resolved into two forms in G. gallus domesticus and three forms in S. scrofa domesticus. Especially, two forms of G. gallus domesticus were different from each other in their enzymatic properties. 3. The pI values of acid ATPase agreed with those of acid phosphodiesterase in G. gallus domesticus. According to the data on activity ratios, however, these enzymes seemed not to be identical. 4. Except acid deoxyribonuclease, extraction by Triton X-100 of lysosomes increased the proportions of acidic forms of these enzymes. In particular, a new form of acid ribonuclease with pI 4.5 or 4.9 appeared in both cases of G. gallus domesticus and S. scrofa domesticus.

Previous studies have indicated that rat luteal cells at certain stages of development can be fractionated so as to obtain two plasma membrane fractions with different densities and different profiles of marker enzymes. The light membrane fractions (density 1.13) contain the majority of hCG-binding sites and little or no cyclase enzyme, while the heavy membranes (density 1.17) contain the majority of cyclase enzyme and lesser quantities of hormone-binding sites. These membrane fractions were further compared with respect to their susceptibility to perturbation by digitonin. The buoyant density of luteal cell light membrane fractions, as marked by [125I]iodo-hCG binding, Mg2+-dependent ATPase, and 5'-nucleotidase, were highly perturbable by digotonin (delta density, greater than 0.05), while adenylate cyclase activity and phosphodiesterase activity associated with this fraction were only slightly perturbed (delta density, less than 0.02). The buoyant density of luteal cell heavy membrane fractions, as marked by adenylate cyclase, ATPase, and nucleotidase, was not significantly perturbed by digotonin. The hCG binding associated with the heavy membrane fraction was not perturbed by digitonin. From these studies, we conclude that the adenylate cyclase activity associated with light membrane fractions is due to contamination by heavy membranes, while the hCG-binding activity in heavy membrane fractions is intrinsic to that membrane. Except for the lysosomal marker (glucuronidase), which was solubilized by digitonin, the detergent had no significant effect on the density of mitochondrial, Golgi, GERL (Golgi, endoplasmic reticulum, and lysomal), or endoplasmic reticulum membranes. Plasma membranes from isolated granulosa cells and ovaries obtained 24 h after priming with PMS gonadotropin-hCG behaved as heavy membranes (density, 1.17) which contained hCG-binding sites, adenylate cyclase, nucleotidase, and Mg2+-dependent ATPase. These were not significantly perturbed by digitonin. The appearance of light membranes and the segregation of adenylate cyclase from the majority of hCG-binding sites is a development feature of the luteal cell.

The dermal cells in grey, xanthic, and white goldfish integuments were cytochemically characterized for the following enzymatic activities: tyrosinase, DOPA-oxidase, cytochrome oxidase, monoamine oxidase, peroxidase, non-specific esterase, cholinesterase, NAD-diaphorase, NADP-diaphorase, aryl sulfatase, nucleotide phosphodiesterase, beta-glucuronidase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, adenosine triphosphatase, thiamine pyrophosphatase, glucose-6-phosphatase, aldolase, as well as succinate, malate, isocitrate, glutamate, glucose-6-phosphate, 6-phosphogluconate, alpha-glycerophosphate, alcohol, lactate, and beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenases. It was found that the epidermis was a significant barrier to the access of cytochemical reaction substrates. Removal of the epidermal barrier provided dermal cell localizations of enzymatic activities which were reproducible. Further, alterations in reaction times and temperatures from the mammalian methodology provided conditions fe various integumental cells were compared for possible interrelationships. The basic foundations for future work with the dermis of poikilothermic vertebrates on an experimental basis were established. In addition, a previously undescribed non-pigmented dermal cell, the "x"-cell, was found to have enzymatic characteristics similar to both melanophores and lipophores. The "x"-cell may be the common precursor of both types of pigment cells.

Rat submandibular gland slices, incubated in continuously-gassed Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer, were shown to release K+ in response to alpha-adrenergic and muscarinic cholinergic stimulation. The system employed the specific alpha-, beta-adrenergic and cholinergic receptor-blocking agents phentolamine, propranolol and atropine, respectively, in combination with the agonists L-epinephrine and carbamylcholine both of which required the presence of Ca2+ for their effect. The introduction of Ca2+ into the cell via the ionophore A23187, with all neurotransmitter receptors blocked, resulted in K+ release. Ouabain also allowed extensive K+ release which was in addition to, and hence independent of, that elicited by epinephrine and carbamylcholine. Ethacrynic acid, a potent inhibitor of salivary secretion in vivo, had no influence on K+ movement. K+ was released by both physalaemin and an eledoisin-related peptide independently of normal neurotransmitter receptors. The activity of the eledoisin-related peptide did not require the presence of extracellular Ca2+. The implication of cyclic GMP at some stage of K+ release was suggested by experiments with a phosphodiesterase inhibitor. The results support an hypothesis where the initial stimulus at either alpha-adrenergic or muscarinic cholinergic receptors causes an immediate permeability change such that Ca2+ enters the cells resulting in K+ release. The loss of K+ is quickly countered by the ouabain-sensitive (Na+ + K+) ATPase which would be activated by the lowered intracellular K+ levels.

1. Voltage-clamped isolated smooth muscle cells from guinea-pig urinary bladder were studied with 3.6 mM extracellular Ca2+ at 36 degrees C. The fluorescence of the Ca(2+)-sensitive dye Indo-1 was used to monitor the cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) and its changes ([Ca2+]i transient). Fast application of caffeine (10 mM) to the cell was used to release the intracellular Ca2+ from a 'caffeine-sensitive Ca2+ store'. 2. At the holding potential -60 mV, a short (1 s) caffeine application increased [Ca2+]i within less than 1 s from the resting 118 +/- 22 nM to 1490 +/- 332 nM. Following the caffeine wash-out, [Ca2+]i fell from this peak to a subresting level of 47 +/- 12 nM, i.e. an 'undershoot' of [Ca2+]i occurred. Subsequent caffeine-induced [Ca2+]i transients had attenuated peaks suggesting that the caffeine-sensitive Ca2+ store had lost a part of the releasable Ca2+. 3. In the continuous presence of caffeine, [Ca2+]i decayed from its peak to control resting [Ca2+]i values. The wash-out of caffeine following prolonged (10-30 s) treatment also resulted in [Ca2+]i undershoot. Subsequent caffeine-induced [Ca2+]i transients were largely abolished as if the caffeine-sensitive Ca2+ store had lost a large part of releasable Ca2+. During the undershoot, hyperpolarization to -100 mV did not affect [Ca2+]i. In most cells studied, recovery of [Ca2+]i from the undershoot to the resting level required depolarizations inducing Ca2+ influx through L-type Ca2+ channels. 4. Block of plasmalemmal Ca(2+)-ATPase (PMCa) with extracellular La3+ (3 mM) did not modify the decay of the [Ca2+]i transients induced by depolarization or by a 1 s caffeine application suggesting that decay rate of both is not limited by PMCa rate. La3+ abolished the undershoot of [Ca2+]i. In the continuous presence of caffeine, La3+ largely prevented the decay of [Ca2+]i. 5. When the depolarizing steps from -60 to 0 mV (160 ms duration) were applied during the period of [Ca2+]i undershoot, the half-time of decay of the corresponding [Ca2+]i transients was up to three times faster than in control. Repetitive depolarizations restored the rate of decay and [Ca2+]i recovered to the resting value. Both processes recovered along a similar time course. 6. Application of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX; 0.1 mM) or of 8-Br-cAMP (0.1 mM) did not mimic the above caffeine effects suggesting that stimulation of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCa) by cAMP-dependent phosphorylation is not the underlying mechanism.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

As part of a search for new cardiotonic agents significantly sensitising the myocardial contractile proteins to calcium, together with cardiac cyclic AMP-PDE inhibitory activity, we have discovered that novel 5-substituted 3,6-dihydrothiadiazin-2-ones may fulfill both properties. The sensitising effect of the contractile proteins to calcium, assessed by the shift in the calcium sensitivity of canine cardiac myofibrillar magnesium-dependent ATPase, is determined by steric and electronic requirements. The requirements for phosphodiesterase inhibition, especially that of a near-planar arrangement for the phenyl and thiadiazin-2-one ring are consistent with those already described for analogous pyridazinones. The synthesis and structure-activity relationships are discussed.

Light-induced GTP-dependent scattering changes are studied in suspensions of retinal disc membranes to which one or both of the purified proteins involved in the phototransduction mechanism (G-protein and cGMP phosphodiesterase) are reassociated; a scattering change which depends on the presence of both G-protein (G) and inhibited cGMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) and on an ATPase-dependent process, previously described in Bennett [(1986) Eur. J. Biochem. 157, 487-495] is compared to the signal observed in the absence of PDE or of ATP and to PDE activity. The same signal can also be induced either in the dark or in the light by addition of preactivated G in the presence of inhibited PDE. This PDE-dependent scattering change is composed of two components (fast and slow); the variation of the amplitude and kinetics of both components with PDE or G concentration is similar to the variation of the active PDE state with two activator GGTP molecules (G with GTP bound), calculated with dissociation constants previously reported for the interaction between GGTP and PDE [Bennett, N., & Clerc, A. (1989) Biochemistry 28, 7418-7424]. The two components are therefore proposed to be associated with processes which depend on the formation of the active PDE state with two activators.

Purified porcine erythrocyte membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase and 3':5'-cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase were stimulated in a dose-dependent, saturable manner with the vitamin D-dependent calcium binding protein from rat kidney, calbindin-D28k (CaBP-D28k). The concentration of CaBP-D28k required for half-maximal activation (K0.5 act.) of the Ca(2+)-ATPase was 28 nM compared to 2.2 nM for calmodulin (CaM), with maximal activation equivalent upon addition of either excess CaM or CaBP-D28k. 3':5'-Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) also showed equivalent maximum saturable activation by calbindin (K0.5 act. = 90 nM) or calmodulin (K0.5 act. = 1.2 nM). CaBP-D28k was shown to effectively compete with CaM-Sepharose for PDE binding. Immunoprecipitation with CaBP-D28k antiserum completely inhibited calbindin-mediated activation of PDE but had no effect on calmodulin's ability to activate PDE. While the physiological significance of these results remains to be established, they do suggest that CaBP-D28k can activate enzymes and may be a regulator of yet to be identified target enzymes in certain tissues.
