In porcine areolar placental epithelia, the following enzymes were demonstrated by histochemical methods after 30, 58, 80, 100, and 110 d of pregnancy, respectively: beta-N-acetyl-hexosaminidase, beta-galactosidase, beta-glucuronidase, alpha-mannosidase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, nonspecific esterases, cytochrome oxidase, 5-nucleotidase, leucine aminopeptidase, adenosine triphosphatase, diaphorases (NADH, NADPH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD, NADP), beta-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, glycero-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, NAD-glycero-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase (NAD, NADP), lactate dehydrogenase. The results show that the enzyme activities remained almost unchanged during the period of investigation. Of the dehydrogenases, the diaphorases as well as succinate and lactate dehydrogenase demonstrated generally an intensive activity within the epithelia. The activity of the other dehydrogenases was only low. The activity of unspecific esterase was very intensive within the uterine epithelia but remarkably low within chorionic epithelia. Contrarily, the reaction of adenosine triphosphatase was more intensive within chorionic than uterine epithelia. All investigated glucosidases reacted distinctly positive within chorionic epithelia, but only beta-N-acetyl-hexosaminidase and beta-galactosidase in uterine epithelia. The high activity of acid phosphatase, especially within the chorionic epithelium, seems to be connected with uteroferrin, an iron-binding protein. The histochemical results are discussed in context with the function of the areolae in histiotrophic nutrition and iron transport.

Treatment of the inner membrane matrix fraction of rat liver mitochondria with the nonionic detergent Lubrol WX solubilized about 70% of the total protein and 90% or more of the following matrix activities: malate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase, and isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP). The Lubrol-insoluble fraction was enriched in cytochromes, phospholipids, and a Mg(++)-stimulated ATPase activity. Less than 2% of the total mitochondrial activity of monoamine oxidase, an outer membrane marker, or adenylate kinase, an intracristal space marker could be detected in this inner membrane fraction. Electron micrographs of negatively stained preparations showed vesicles (</=0.4 micro diameter) literally saturated on the periphery with the 90 A ATPase particles. These inner membrane vesicles, which appeared for the most part to be inverted with respect to the normal inner membrane configuration in intact mitochondria, retained the succinicoxidase portion of the electron-transport chain, an intact phosphorylation site II with a high affinity for ADP, and the capacity to accumulate Ca(++). A number of biochemical properties characteristic of intact mitochondria and the inner membrane matrix fraction, however, were either absent or markedly deficient in the inner membrane vesicles. These included stimulation of respiration by either ADP or 2,4-dinitrophenol, oligomycin-sensitive ADP-ATP exchange activity, atractyloside sensitivity of adenine nucleotide requiring reactions, and a stimulation of the Mg(++)-ATPase by 2,4-dinitrophenol.

A comparison has been made of the effect of 1H,2H,4H(5H)-octafluorocyclohexane, which is highly toxic (LD(50) 17mg./kg. in rats), and of 1H,4H(2H)-nonafluorocyclohexane, which is relatively non-toxic (LD(50)>440mg./kg. in rats), on the respiration of rat liver homogenates and mitochondria in vitro. 1H,2H,4H(5H)-Octafluorocyclohexane strongly inhibited the respiration of both homogenates and mitochondria, but neither compound had any significant effect on glycolysis or on glutamate dehydrogenase or NADH-cytochrome c reductase activity. 1H,2H,4H(5H)-Octafluorocyclohexane, however, caused a very marked inhibition of cytochrome oxidase activity, causing an almost complete lesion in this region of the respiratory chain. 1H,4H(2H)-Nonafluorocyclohexane was without effect in this respect. A marked decrease in turbidity of mitochondrial suspensions at 520nm. was caused by addition of both compounds, the effect being greater with 1H,2H,4H(5H)-octafluorocyclohexane. ATP, Mg(2+) and bovine serum albumin did not reverse these changes. Mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase activity was increased twofold by the toxic compound, but only slightly by the non-toxic compound. Electron-microscopic examination of mitochondria treated with 1H,2H,4H(5H)-octafluorocyclohexane revealed gross morphological damage, whereas the effect of 1H,4H(2H)-nonafluorocyclohexane appeared to be merely to cause swelling. The results obtained account, to some extent at any rate, for the toxic effects of 1H,2H,4H(5H)-octafluorocyclohexane.

The activities of adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT), Na+-K+-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) and Mg2+-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) together with mitochondrial marker enzymes, succinic dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.99.1) and glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.2), were measured in liver, kidney, brain and testis from normal and thyroidectomised rats. Na+-K+-ATPase decreased by approximately 50% in liver and kidney; ANT decreased only in liver (-40%) while the activity of ANT per gram kidney increased by 38%. The activity of Mg2+-ATPase closely correlated with the pattern of change of ANT. The hormonal and substrate regulation of ANT is discussed in relation to its role in the regulation of intracellular phosphate potential and compartmentation in liver and kidney.

Content of progesterone and cortisol was studied in blood plasma. Activities of organelle-specific enzymes were estimated in mitochondria (malate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase, H + ATPase) and in endoplasmic reticulum (inosine-5-diphosphatase) of liver, kidney tissues and blood serum of rats, which were born after the influence of embryotoxic effectors. Correlation was found in alterations of the patterns studied. The steroid hormonal systems appear to affect the stability of mitochondrial and microsomal membranes in liver and kidney tissues of experimental animals.

Quantitation of the pool of short-lived mitochondrial proteins in cultured cells by a new method shows it to be very low, i.e. approximately 1.35%. Degradation of three long-lived mitochondrial enzymes of rat liver which make up approximately 25-30% of the mitochondrial protein necessitates the cooperation of mitochondrial and lysosomal components. The degradation of carbamyl phosphate synthetase (t1/2, 7.7 d) and of ATPase (t1/2, 2-3 d) requires both a protein component from the inner mitochondrial membrane and lysosomes while degradation of glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) (t1/2, approximately 1 d) necessitates a mitoplast factor, identified as NADP, which facilitates the inactivation by lysosomes. Chemotropic modification (carbamylation) of GDH also changes stability to rat liver proteases. All three enzymes are synthesized as pro-enzymes. Their processing and possibly control of degradation by maturases as well as the relation of both processes to molecular plasticity is presented.

The effects of zinc on the enzymes of hepatic mitochondria were investigated in rats that had been given zinc sulfate (10 mg Zn2+/100 g body wt) p.o. Administration of zinc caused a marked elevation of succinate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase, cytochrome c oxidase and ATPase activities, whereas it did not cause significant changes in pyruvate carboxylase, malate dehydrogenase and isocitrate dehydrogenase activities. The effect of zinc as a function of time was greatest on succinate dehydrogenase. Zinc also produced a marked elevation of ATP concentration in the hepatic cytosol and a corresponding increase in ATPase activity in the hepatic mitochondria. Zinc content of the inner membrane of mitochondria was raised significantly by administration of zinc. The removal of zinc by washing in 10 mM EDTA caused a significant decrease of the increased succinate dehydrogenase activity caused by administration of zinc, while it did not lower ATPase activity. The addition of zinc in amounts of 10-10(3) ng Zn2+ per mg protein produced a significant increase in succinate dehydrogenase activity in the inner membrane of mitochondria, whereas ATPase activity was elevated significantly at 10(3)-10(4) ng Zn2+ per mg protein, indicating that zinc activated succinate dehydrogenase more sensitively than ATPase. The present investigation suggests that zinc taken up by hepatic mitochondria stimulates the electron transport system and oxidative phosphorylation and, as a result, increases the ATP concentration in the hepatic cytosol.

The half-life of mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase and the relative rate constants of protein degradation for several fractions of rat liver have been measured by the double-isotope technique. It has been shown that the apparent turnover rates of some mitochondrial enzymes, far apart in size, such as carbamoyl phosphate synthetase, glutamate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase, are not related to molecular weight or to size of subunits. In view of the possibility that mitochondrial proteins are degraded by different mechanisms, it was of interest to determine the half-life of a protein tightly bound to the inner membrane such as adenosine triphosphatase. The rate constants of degradation for rats fed a basal diet and injected at three-day intervals with isotopic leucine were: homogenate, kd = 0.195 days-1; mitochondria, kd = 0.135 days-1; cytosol, kd = 0.140 days-1; microsomes, kd = 0.28 days-1; ATPase, kd = 0.275 days-1. The rate constants of the cellular fractions of liver of rats fed a high protein diet did not change or showed a small increase, compared with those of animals fed the basal diet, while those from rats on the protein-free diet showed a decrease. The rate constant for adenosine triphosphatase showed an increase with high-protein and a decrease with protein-free diet. A procedure for the purification of ATPase from a single liver of a rat is described.

The homogeneity or heterogeneity at the enzyme level of mitochondria has not been directly demonstrated and is important for many studies. To clarify this point, carbamoyl phosphate synthase (ammonia), glutamate dehydrogenase and mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase (F1) were located in rat liver by immunolabeling using protein A-gold. Measurements of the number of gold particles per square micron of cross sectional images of mitochondria permit to assess the relative molecular concentration of the three enzymes and, most interestingly, it presents the first evidence that different mitochondria in rat liver cells have the same relative proportion of the three enzymes. Since they have vastly different half-lives, bulk or unregulated autophagy as the main mechanism regulating the turnover of these enzymes seems unlikely.

We have previously shown that inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) releases Ca2+ from an intracellular calcium store in permeabilized acinar cells of rat pancreas (H. Streb et al., 1983, Nature (London) 306:67-69). This observation suggests that IP3 might provide the missing link between activation of the muscarinic receptor and Ca2+ release from intracellular stores during stimulation. In order to localize the intracellular IP3-sensitive calcium pool, IP3-induced Ca2+ release was measured in isolated subcellular fractions. A total homogenate was prepared from acinar cells which had been isolated by a collagenase digestion method. Endoplasmic reticulum was separated from mitochondria, zymogen granules and nuclei by differential centrifugation. Plasma membranes and endoplasmic reticulum were separated by centrifugation on a sucrose step gradient or by precipitation with high concentrations of MgCl2. IP3-induced Ca2+ release per mg protein in the total homogenate was the same as in leaky cells and was sufficiently stable to make short separation procedures possible. In fractions obtained by either differential centrifugation at 7000 X g, sucrose-density centrifugation, or MgCl2 precipitation there was a close correlation of Ip3-induced Ca2+ release with the endoplasmic reticulum markers ribonucleic acid (r = 0.96, 1.00, 0.91, respectively) and NADPH cytochrome c reductase (r = 0.63, 0.98, 0.90, respectively). In contrast, there was a clear negative correlation with the mitochondrial markers cytochrome c oxidase (r = -0.64) and glutamate dehydrogenase (r = -0.75) and with the plasma membrane markers (Na+ + K+)-ATPase (r = -0.81) and alkaline phosphatase (r = -0.77) in all fractions analyzed. IP3-induced Ca2+ release was distributed independently of zymogen granule or nuclei content of the fractions as assessed by electron microscopy. The data suggest that inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate releases Ca2+ from endoplasmic reticulum in pancreatic acinar cells.
