1. Starvation for 3 days causes membrane damage of the rat erythrocyte manifested by several alterations. The adenosine-triphosphatase activity is decreased but that of acetylcholinesterase is not affected. 2. The ouabain-sensitive adenosine-triphosphatase activity increases at the expense of the non-sensitive enzyme moiety. 3. The Rb(+) uptake is not altered but the galactose transport is accelerated by the stated experimental conditions. 4. The modifications induced by starvation do not recover on re-feeding.

The actomyosin protein complex of Physarum polycephalum was prepared from vegetative and starved plasmodia. The yield of actomyosin per unit wet wt. was the same from both types of plasmodia. Myosin was resolved from the complex by gel filtration and purified by ion-exchange chromatography. The Ca(2+)-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase activities of myosin preparations from vegetative and starved plasmodia were not appreciably different. Synthesis of myosin de novo was shown to occur during the starvation phase of the life-cycle by the isolation of labelled myosin preparations from plasmodia starved in the presence of [2-(14)C]glycine. Fractionation of polyacrylamide gels after gel filtration of labelled myosin confirmed the presence of label in the adenosine triphosphatase-active myosin band. It is concluded that during starvation myosin synthesis continues although there is a net loss of approx. 50% of the total protein. Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of Physarum myosin showed the presence of low-molecular-weight components of the molecule, similar to those of muscle myosins. The content and composition of the free amino acid pool of Physarum was measured at various time-intervals during the vegetative and starvation phases of the life-cycle.

The transport of radioactive sodium in high sodium cat red blood cells has been studied under various experimental conditions. It was found that iodoacetate (IAA) and iodoacetamide (IAM) inhibit Na influx by 50% whereas NaF has no effect. Reversible dyes, such as methylene blue (Mb), also inhibit this influx by 60%. Both IAA and Mb effects show a lag period of about 40 min. Cell starvation abolishes the volume-dependent Na influx which is generally observed in these cells. IAA reduces significantly the volume-dependent Na influx but does not inhibit it completely. 5 mM magnesium chloride produces a twofold increase in Na influx. On the other hand, MgCl(2) has no effect on Na transport in human red cells or on potassium or sulfate transport in cat red cells. The effect of MgCl(2) is quite rapid and does not interfere with the volume-dependent Na influx. This effect is abolished in starved cells. Reincubation of previously stored cells in buffered solutions containing glucose and MgCl(2) causes more than one order of magnitude increase in Na influx. These several observations are discussed in terms of the possibility of a link between Na transport and Na-Mg-activated ATPase.

1. The intracellular location and maximal activities of enzymes involved in phosphoenolpyruvate synthesis have been investigated in pigeon liver. Enolase and pyruvate kinase were cytoplasmic, and the activities were 50-60 and 180-210mumoles/min./g. dry wt. at 25 degrees respectively. Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase was present exclusively, and nucleoside diphosphokinase predominantly, in the mitochondria; the particles had to be disrupted to elicit maximal activities, which were 27-33 and 400-600mumoles/min./g. dry wt. at 25 degrees respectively. The activities of all four enzymes did not change significantly during 48hr. of starvation. 2. Conditions for incubation of washed isolated mitochondria were established, to give high rates of synthesis of phosphoenolpyruvate, linear with time and proportional to mitochondrial concentration. Inorganic phosphate and added adenine nucleotides were stimulatory, whereas added Mg(2+) inhibited, partly owing to activation of contaminant pyruvate kinase. Phosphoenolpyruvate formation occurred from oxaloacetate, malate, fumarate, succinate, alpha-oxoglutarate and citrate, in decreasing order of effectiveness. 3. The steady-state ATP/ADP ratio of mitochondrial suspensions was decreased in the presence of added 2.5mm-Mg(2+) (owing to stimulation of adenylate kinase and possibly of an adenosine triphosphatase), 0.5mm-Ca(2+) or 0.4mm-dinitrophenol. In each case the rate of substrate removal and oxygen uptake was increased, whereas phosphoenolpyruvate synthesis was inhibited. Citrate formation was enhanced, owing to de-inhibition of citrate synthase. These effects were not primarily related to changes in the oxaloacetate concentration. 4. Both phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and nucleoside diphosphokinase were active within the atractylosidesensitive barrier to the mitochondrial metabolism of added adenine nucleotides. There was no correlation between the rate of substrate-level phosphorylation associated with the oxidation of alpha-oxoglutarate, and the synthesis of phosphoenolpyruvate. 5. The results suggest that phosphoenolpyruvate formation in pigeon-liver mitochondria is regulated partly by the phosphorylation state of the adenine and guanine nucleotides, and partly by variations in the oxaloacetate concentration, all in the mitochondrial matrix. 6. Phosphoenolpyruvate is assumed to be the metabolite transported from the mitochondria to the cytoplasm during gluconeogenesis from oxaloacetate in pigeon liver.

The exchange of labelled calcium between the external medium and the whole body was investigated in the larva of Aedes aegypti (L.) using a closed, two-compartmental model. The transport system for the uptake of Ca2+ was found to be saturable and obeyed Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The efficiency of the inward transport of calcium from dilute solutions was markedly reduced by starvation or by ruthenium-red, a selective inhibitor of Ca2+ activated ATPase, indicating that this transport system is energy dependent. Unlike transport systems for the major monovalent ions, the Ca2+ transport system is not located in the anal papillae, since removal of these organs resulted in enhanced Ca2+ fluxes. While over 95% of the calcium in the larva appeared to be distributed in the extracellular haemolymph, only 16% of the total calcium was readily exchangeable with the external medium; thus the majority of the calcium is apparently bound to haemolymph constituents. The results suggest that calcium pumps consisting of Ca2+ activated ATPases play an important role in the absorption of Ca2+ from dilute solutions in the gut and its reabsorption from the urine in the rectum.

The increased rate of glucose uptake found in cells transformed by Rous sarcoma virus was shown to be enhanced relative to the changes in uptake induced in nontransformed cells by deprivation of glucose (deprivation derepression). Glucose-specific uptake sites were distinguished from glucose-galactose sites in nontransformed cells, and the capacities for glucose uptake and for galactose uptake were increased to about the same extent by the exclusion of glucose from the cell culture medium. Deprivation derepression occurred without a requirement for new RNA or protein synthesis, suggesting that preexisting inactivate uptake sites were activated. Deprivation derepression could be mimicked by the treatment of cells with adenosine triphosphatase activators, and adenosine triphosphate levels were reduced in glucose-deprived cells and in cells treated with adenosine triphosphatase activators. Cells transformed by the Bryan strain of Rous sarcoma virus were unresponsive to addition of high concentrations of glucose, to glucose starvation, or to treatment with adenosine triphosphatase activators, and the relative capacity for glucose uptake in these transformed cells was enhanced much more than the capacity of galactose uptake. It was concluded that cells infected by the Bryan strain of rous sarcoma virus in the process of transformation selectively synthesize more sites specific for glucose uptake. Lower levels of adenosine triphosphate found in transformed cells possibly contribute to a chronic derepression of uptake sites.

The question of whether Thiobacillus acidophilus maintains its cytoplasmic pH at values close to neutrality by active or passive means was explored by subjecting the organism to long-term starvation (up to 22 days). Starving cells maintained a delta pH of 2 to 3 U throughout starvation, although cellular poly-beta-hydroxybutyric acid and ATP, the proton motive force, and culture viability were low or not detectable after 200 h. Cells exposed to azide or azide plus N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide immediately exhibited characteristics of cells starved for more than 200 h. Thus, a large delta pH in T. acidophilus was maintained in the absence of ATP, ATPase activity, respiration, significant levels of proton motive force, and cell viability and was therefore not dependent on chemiosmotic ionic pumping. The transition from a metabolically active to an inactive state was accompanied by a large increase in the positive membrane potential, which nearly completely compensated for the delta pH in the inactive cells. The longevity of the acidophile during starvation was comparable to that reported previously for neutrophiles, and the loss of viability occurred not because of the acidification of the cytoplasm but apparently because of energy depletion.

Rats were maintained on a regimen of intermittent starvation followed by refeeding a fat-free diet in order to induce hepatic acyl desaturase activities and other enzymes involved in lipid synthesis. The effects of the dietary regimen on the lipid composition and fluidity of isolated hepatocyte plasma membranes were compared to corresponding effects on microsomal preparations. The dietary regimen increased the content of monoenoic and polyenoic acyl chains and decreased the cholesterol/phospholipid molar ratio in the plasma membranes. Accordingly, the lipid fluidity of the plasma membranes was significantly increased as assessed by the fluorescence polarization of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene and 12-(9-anthroyloxy)stearate and the intramolecular excimer fluorescence of 1,3-di(1-pyrenyl)propane. In the microsomal membranes, substantial increases in the content of monoenoic acyl chains were offset by decreases in polyenoic acids, and no change in cholesterol/phospholipid ratio was observed. Correspondingly, the lipid fluidity of the microsomal membranes remained almost unchanged. The enhancement of lipid fluidity in the hepatocyte plasma membranes was accompanied by an increase of approximately 68% in the specific activity of the (Na+ + K+)-dependent adenosinetriphosphatase. The results demonstrate that a dietary regimen can modulate in vivo the lipid composition, fluidity, and enzyme function of the hepatocyte plasma membrane.

The mechanism of host shut-off following virus T1 infection was studied using Escherichia coli wild type and ATPase deficient (unc-) cells. Host protein synthesis measured either as amino acid incorporation into proteins or as enzyme synthesis is immediately inhibited in T1-infected wild type cells. In contrast, host repression in the ATPase-deficient cells is almost unaffected after T1 infection. The continuation of host macromolecule synthesis in the unc- cells is due to constant ATP concentrations after infection, whereas an immediate drop in intracellular ATP levels in T1-infected wild type cells causes repression of host protein synthesis. This result is confirmed when host protein synthesis is determined at decreasing ATP concentrations following the starvation of cells.

The many causes of clinical magnesium deficiency can be placed into 2 categories: diminished intake of magnesium, and enhanced losses of magnesium, either through the gastrointestinal tract or through the kidneys. Examples of the first category include alcoholism, starvation, anorexia due to neoplastic disease and/or chemotherapy. Examples of the second category include severe diarrhoeal states, gastrointestinal fistulae, malabsorption, diuretic therapy and gentamicin therapy. Estimates of the prevalence of clinical hypomagnesaemia range from 6 to 11% in hospitalised patients. Serum predictors of associated clinical magnesium depletion include hypokalaemia (42%), hyponatraemia (23%), hypophosphataemia (22%) and hypocalcaemia (20%). Experimental and clinical observations strongly support the view that magnesium and potassium are closely linked at the cellular level. Magnesium has been demonstrated to be important in cell energetics (Mg++-activated ATPase), in maintenance of the integrity of cell membranes, retardation of cell loss of potassium, as well as enhancing repletion of cell potassium. While translation of these experimental observations into clinical terms encompasses a wide spectrum of illnesses, there is special relevance in considering the role of magnesium in repletion and maintenance of cell potassium in 2 clinical instances: (a) patients treated with digitalis and diuretics; and (b) hypertensive patients. In these types of patients not only potassium but also magnesium should be administered together to avoid the problem of cell potassium depletion and refractory potassium repletion associated with coexisting and uncorrected magnesium depletion.
