Preillumination of Rhodospirillum rubrum chromatophores with strong, far-red light in the presence of phenazine methosulfate under non-phosphorylation conditions results in a selective, irreversible inactivation (typically about 70%) of photophosphorylation and of uncoupler-stimulated dark ATPase. The time course of the photoinactivation is similar to the light-on kinetics of the light-induced proton uptake in the absence of ADP. Only little photoinactivation occurs when the uncoupler carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone is present or when phenazine methosulfate is absent during the preillumination, indicating that the reaction occurs only when the membrane is energized. Phosphorylation conditions offer a practically complete protection against the photoinactivation. Inorganic phosphate, Mg2+ or ADP do not provide a significant protection against the photoinactivation, nor does ATP. The pH-dependence of the reaction(s) leading to photoinactivation may indicate that a partial reaction of the photophosphorylation process (perhaps only a conformational change of the coupling factor) precedes the photoinactivation.

2' (or 3')-O-(2,4,6-Trinitrophenyl) adenosine 5'-triphosphate (N3ph-ATP), which contains a Meisenheimer complex moiety, is one of the class of compounds which do not fluoresce in water but fluoresce both in low polarity solvents and when bound to the protein molecule. Fluorescence intensity of N3ph-ATP in the range of 540 nm, when excited at 410 nm, decreased with increasing the solvent polarity accompanying the increment of the wavelength of maximum emission. When bound to heavy meromyosin ATPase, the fluorescence properties of N3ph-ADP were almost the same as those of N3ph-ATP in a low polarity solvent, suggesting that N3ph-ADP was bound to hydrophobic area on heavy meromyosin ATPase.

Some of the characteristics of the pyrophosphatase and ATPase activities studied in isolated cartilage matrix vesicles were found to be similar to those already reported for the solubilized and purified bone alkaline phosphatase. Thus, the pH optimum of the pyrophosphatase activity responded similarly to changes in the concentration of Mg2+, Ca2+, and PPi. Further, the ATPase activity was not activated by Ca2+ in the presence of an optimal Mg2+ concentration. It is proposed that a function of the alkaline phosphatase of matrix vesicles in vivo is to hydrolyze the substrates PPi, ADP, and ATP, which are known inhibitors of calcium phosphate precipitation.

Differential and density gradient centrifugation were used to prepare a vesicular membrane fraction from hog gastric mucosa enriched 17-fold with respect to cation-activated ATPase and 5'-AMPase. Fractionation of the gradient material by free flow electrophoresis resulted in a fraction 35-fold enriched in cation-activated ATPase and essentially free of 5'-AMPase and Mg2+ATPase. The addition of ATP to either fraction resulted in H+ uptake and Rb+ efflux. The ionophoric and osmotic sensitivity showed that these ion movements were due to transport rather than binding. The cation selectivity sequences, substrate specificities and action of inhibitors indicated that the transport was a function of K+ATPase activity. The characteristics of the ATP-dependent enhancement of SCN- uptake and 8-anilinonapthalene-1-sulfonate fluorescence in the presence of valinomycin and the action of ionophores and lipid-permeable ions suggested that the energy dependent K+:H+ exchange was effectively nonelectrogenic. Thus these vesicles contain a nonelectrogenic (H+ + K+)-ATPase, hence acid secretion by the stomach is probably due to an ATP-dependent H+ + K+ exchange.

A highly purified membrane fraction was derived from hog gastric mucosa by a combination of differential and density gradient centrifugation and free flow electrophoresis. This final fraction was 35-fold enriched with respect to cation activated ouabain-insensitive ATPase. Antibody against this fraction was shown to be bound to the luminal surface of the gastric glands. The addition of ATP to this fraction or the density gradient fraction resulted in H+ uptake into an osmotically sensitive space. The apparent Km for ATP was 1.7-10(-4) M in the absence of a K+ gradient similar to that found for ATPase activity. The reaction is specific for ATP and requires cation in the sequence K+ greater than Rb+ greater than Cs+ greater than Na+ greater than Li+ and inhibited by ATPase inhibitors such as N,N'-dicylclohexyl-carbodiimide. Maximal H+ uptake occurs with an outward K+ gradient but the minimal apparent KA is found in the absence of a K+ gradient. The pH optimum for H+ uptake is between 5.8 and 6.2 which corresponds to the pH range for phosphroylation of the enzyme, but is considerably less than the pH maximum of the K+ dependent dephosphorylation. In the presence of an inward K+ gradient, protonophores such as tetrachlorsalicylanilide only partially abolish the H+ gradient but valinomycin dissipates 75% of the gradient, and nigericin abolishes the gradient. The vesicles therefore have a low K+ conductance but a measurable H+ conductance, hence a K+ gradient can produce an H+ gradient in the presence of valinomycin. The uptake and spontaneous leak of H+ are temperature sensitive with a similar transition temperature. Ultraviolet irradiation inactivates ATPase and proton transport at the same rate, approximately at twice the rate of p-nitrophenylphosphatase inactivation. It is concluded that H+ uptake by these vesicles is probably due to a dimeric (H+ + K+)-ATPase and is probably non-electrogenic.

A prodcedure was developed for the purification of the ATP-dependent deoxyribonuclease of Bacillus subtilis 168. It comprises ammonium sulphate fractionation, Sephadex gel filtration, DEAE-cellulose chromatography and gel electrophoresis on a discontinuous polyacrylamide gradient. The enzyme has been obtained in a homogeneous state. Its molecular weight was estimated to be 270000 by disc electrophoresis. Dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed the presence of five nonidentical subunits of the following molecular weights: 81000, 70000, 62000, 52500 and 42500. These values give 308000 as the molecular weight of the native enzyme. The pH optimum of the purified enzyme is 9.6. The optimal concentrations of Mg2+ and ATP for exonuclease activity on native B. subtilis DNA were determined. ATP-requirement for hydrolysis of single-stranded DNA is less strigent. The enzyme also possesses high DNA-dependent ATPase activity. The purification procedure was applied to extracts of a mutant devoid of activity for this enzyme (strain GSY 1290). A protein was isolated which is very similar to the active DNAase as regards electrophoretic mobility, reaction with specific antisera and size of four of the subunits. One subunit is missing (Mr 70000) and is replaced by a smaller polypeptide (Mr 565000). The latter results suggest that the mutant is affected in the genetic locus coding for the 70000-Mr subunit.

The respiration and the ATP content of Klebsiella aerogenes in the presence of various inhibitors were compared to the transport of scyllo-inositol. The ATPase was found to be inhibited by dicyclohexyl carbodiimide. The transport has been tested in anaerobiosis and aerobiosis. From the results obtained it is concluded that either ATP or respiration can sustain the transport activity in independent manner. 2. The energy derived from the respiratory chain reactions or the ATP hydrolysis results in electrogenic extrusion of protons. The electrochemical potential created drives the accumulation of scyllo-inositol, as shown by an increase of pH of the medium on addition of the substrate to cells in anaerobiosis. With non-induced cells no change in pH occurs, which demonstrates that proton flow is really linked to the transport. No H+/Na+ or K+ exchange is observed and the proton conductor carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone abolishes the pH shift caused by substrate addition. The stoichiometry of the symport H+/cyclitol is 1 and the half-maximum value of the pH variation as a function of the amount of scyllo-inositol added corresponds to a concentration of scyllo-inositol very close to the KT of influx.

Measurements were made of the difference in the electrochemical potential of protons (delta-mu H+) across the membrane of vesicles restituted from the ATPase complex (TF0.F1) purified from a thermophilic bacterium and P-lipids. Two fluorescent dyes, anilinonaphthalene sulfonate (ANS) and 9-aminoacridine (9AA) were used as probes for measuring the membrane potential (delta psi) and pH difference across the membrane (delta pH), respectively. In the presence of Tris buffer the maximal delta psi ans no delta pH were produced, while in the presence of the permeant anion NO-3 the maximal delta pH and a low delta psi were produced by the addition of ATP. When thATP concentration was 0.24 mm, the delta psi was 140-150 mV (positive inside) in Tris buffer, and the delta pH was 2.9-3.5 units (acidic inside) in the presence of NO-3. Addition of a saturating amount of ATP produced somewhat larger delta psi and delta pH values, and the delta -muH+attained was about 310mV. By trapping pH indicators in the vesicles during their reconstitution it was found that the pH inside the vesicles was pH 4-5 during ATP hydrolysis. The effects of energy transfer inhibitors, uncouplers, ionophores, and permeant anions on these vesicles were studied.

Transitional states of Candida utilis BKM Y-1668 were found during its growth in conditions of chemostat at D of 0.1 hr(-1) and glycerol limit after a shock caused by an extreme pH value (2.2). The optical density of the cells, the amount of dry biomass and protein, the activity of respiration, the content of ATP, and the activity of ATPase decreased, the character of the decrease being that of damped oscillations. Qualitative changes were detected in the activity of respiration, oxygen uptake was not inhibited by cyanide. More glycerol and phosphorus are utilized in processes of vital activity. Therefore, a sharp change of pH values causes profound changes in the metabolism of the yeast cell.

The relation between the intramitochondrial and extramitochondrial ratio ATP/ADP, the transmembrane potential and pH gradient is investigated in the present communication. For this purpose mitochondria are equilibrated with added [14C]ATP in the presence of substrate and oligomycin for eliminating phosphate transfer by ATPase. The membrane potential was measured by the distribution of 86Rb+ in the presence of valinomycin, the deltapH by the distribution of [14C]acetate. In the energized state by varying deltapsi between 60 and 160 mV, the internal (ATP/ADP)i is decreased 30-fold, the external (ATP/ADP)e remains largely constant. As a result, the deltalog (ATP/ADP)e/(ATP/ADP)i = deltalogphi is increased linerly with deltapsi according to the following relation: deltalogphi = 0.85 deltapsi - 0.35. The deltapH was changed between 0.1 and 0.8 by increasing the Pi concentration causing only a minor decrease of deltalogphi would be expected if the ATP-ADP exchange has a significant electroneutral portion. Also in the uncoupled and respiration-inhibited state the same function between deltalogphi and deltapsi is found as in the energized states. It is concluded that under these conditions the ATP-ADP exchange is largely electrical.
