Anti-synaptobrevin 2 immunoprecipitates obtained from freshly prepared Triton X-100 extracts of rat synaptosomes contained, in addition to synaptophysin, a 10-kDa band, which we identified by peptide sequencing and Western blotting as the c subunit of the vacuolar proton pump (V-ATPase) also called ductin or mediatophore. Ac39 and Ac116, two other transmembrane subunits of the V0 sector of the V-ATPase, were also found by Western blotting to be enriched in the immunoprecipitates. None of these V-ATPase subunits, or synaptophysin, was present in anti-synaptobrevin 2 immunoprecipitates obtained from frozen-thawed Triton X-100 extracts, which were greatly enriched, instead, in SNAP-25 and syntaxin 1. Accordingly, V-ATPase subunit c was found in anti-synaptophysin immunoprecipitates. Thus, the two complexes appear to be mutually exclusive. Subcellular fractionation of rat brain demonstrated that V-ATPase subunit c is localized with synaptobrevin 2 and synaptophysin in synaptic vesicles. The coprecipitation of V-ATPase subunit c with the synaptobrevin-synaptophysin complex suggests that this interaction may play a role in recruiting the proton pump into synaptic vesicles. Freeze-thawing, which involves a mild denaturing step, may produce a conformational change which dissociates the complex and mimics a change which occurs in vivo as a prerequisite to SNARE complex formation.

SUG1 is an integral component of the 26 S proteasome. Belonging to a novel putative ATPase family, it shares four conserved motifs characteristic of ATP-dependent DNA/RNA helicases. Recombinant rat SUG1 (rSUG1) produced in Escherichia coli was highly purified and characterized in terms of its biochemical properties. The rSUG1 exhibited a Mg2+-dependent ATPase activity. The Km for ATP and Vmax of rSUG1 were 35 microM and 7 pmol of ATP/min/microg of protein, respectively. Both ATPase activity to release [32P]monophosphate and [32P]ATP-labeling activity were coordinately affected by cold ATP severely, GTP and UTP moderately, and CTP little. Interestingly, the rSUG1 ATPase activity was stimulated by poly(U) and poly(C), but not by poly(A), poly(G), or by any forms of DNAs tested. A UV cross-linking assay also indicated poly(U)- and poly(C)-stimulated labeling of rSUG1 with [alpha-32P]ATP. Moreover, the ATPase activity was facilitated by cellular poly(A)+ RNA, but not by poly(A)- RNA. RNA transcribed in vitro from cDNA encoding a b-Zip protein could stimulate the ATPase activity. This is the first report to demonstrate a specific RNA requirement for ATPase with respect to the proteasomal ATPases. Our present work suggests that SUG1 can specifically interact with protein-coding RNA (mRNA) and play some roles in mRNA metabolism.

Phencyclidine hydrochloride (PCP) also known as Angel Dust is a very potent psychotomimetic drug of abuse. Besides its central nervous system (CNS) effects PCP produces a number of adverse effects in a variety of tissues including the cardiovascular system. Since PCP is known to alter the cellular calcium homeostasis the present studies were initiated to determine the changes in cardiac Ca2+ ATPase activity in rats treated with PCP. For in vitro studies the cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) fractions prepared from normal rats were incubated with 25, 50 and 100 microM PCP and the enzyme activities were estimated. Whereas, for in vivo studies the cardiac SR fractions prepared from rats treated with PCP (10 mg/kg body wt. single dose, intra-peritoneally (i.p.)) and sacrificed at different time intervals were used. PCP reduced the Ca2+ ATPase activity significantly both in vitro and in vivo. A 50% inhibition of the enzyme activity was obtained with 100 microM PCP in vitro. A significant reduction of SR Ca2+ ATPase was also evident as early as 1 h after treatment of rats with PCP. The reduction of Ca2+ ATPase activity in SR was irreversible even at 12 h after treatment. The in vitro kinetic studies revealed that PCP was found to be a competitive inhibitor of Ca2+ ATPase with respect to the substrate, ATP, and non-competitive with respect to Ca2+ activation. These results indicate that PCP alters the myocardial Ca2+ homeostasis by inhibiting the Ca2+ ATPase in cardiac SR in rats. Inhibition of SR Ca2+ ATPase may result in the impairment of contraction and relaxation coupling processes in the myocardium.

The purpose of this study was to examine myosin heavy chain (MHC) and myosin light chain (MLC) isoforms following 12 wk of progressive resistance training (PRT). A needle biopsy was taken from the vastus lateralis to determine fiber-type expression [ATPase (pH 4.54) and MHC/MLC] in seven healthy men (age = 74.0 +/- 1.8 yr). Subjects were also tested for 1-repetition maximum (1-RM), pre- and posttraining. The progressive knee extensor protocol consisted of three sets at 80% of 1-RM 3 days/wk for 12 wk. Freeze-dried, single muscle fibers were dissected for MHC and MLC analysis and then subjected to SDS-PAGE and silver staining, pre- and posttraining. MHC expression increased in the I (10.4%; P < 0.05) and decreased in I/IIa (9.0%; P < 0.05), I/IIa/x (0.9%; P < 0.05), and IIa/x (8.9%; P < 0.05) isoforms, with no change in the IIa and IIx isoforms, pre- vs. posttraining (total fibers = 3,059). The MLC(3f)-to-MLC(2) ratio did not change with the PRT in either the MHC I or MHC IIa isoforms (total fibers = 902), pre- to posttraining. ATPase fiber distribution did not significantly differ following training (I: 50. 4 +/- 6.7 vs. 51.9 +/- 7.9, IIa: 36.8 +/- 5.3 vs. 41.1 +/- 7.0, IIb: 12.8 +/- 5.6 vs. 7.0 +/- 4.0%; pre- vs. posttraining, respectively). 1-RM increased (51.9%; P < 0.05) from pre- to posttraining. The PRT provide a stimulus for alterations in MHC isoforms, which demonstrated a decrease in all hybrid isoforms and an increase in MHC I expression (not found in the ATPase results), unlike the MLC ratio (3:2), which was not altered with training.

The extreme thermoacidophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus grows optimally at 80 degrees C and pH 3 and uses a variety of sugars as sole carbon and energy source. Glucose transport in this organism is mediated by a high-affinity binding protein-dependent ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter. Sugar-binding studies revealed the presence of four additional membrane-bound binding proteins for arabinose, cellobiose, maltose and trehalose. These glycosylated binding proteins are subunits of ABC transporters that fall into two distinct groups: (i) monosaccharide transporters that are homologous to the sugar transport family containing a single ATPase and a periplasmic-binding protein that is processed at an unusual site at its amino-terminus; (ii) di- and oligosaccharide transporters, which are homologous to the family of oligo/dipeptide transporters that contain two different ATPases, and a binding protein that is synthesized with a typical bacterial signal sequence. The latter family has not been implicated in sugar transport before. These data indicate that binding protein-dependent transport is the predominant mechanism of transport for sugars in S. solfataricus.

Escherichia coli FtsH is a membrane-bound and ATP-dependent protease which degrades some soluble and integral membrane proteins. The N-terminal region of FtsH mediates membrane association as well as homooligomeric interaction of this enzyme. Previously, we studied in vivo functionality of FtsH derivatives, in which the N-terminal membrane region was either deleted (FtsH(DeltaTM)), replaced by a leucine zipper (Zip-FtsH(DeltaTM)), or replaced by a lactose permease transmembrane segment (LacY-FtsH). It was indicated that homooligomerization is required for the minimum proteolytic activity, whereas a transmembrane sequence is required for membrane protein degradation. Here we characterized these proteins in vitro. Although these mutant enzymes were very low in their activities, they were significantly stimulated by dimethyl sulfoxide, which enabled us to characterize their activities. LacY-FtsH degraded both soluble and membrane proteins, but Zip-FtsH(DeltaTM) only degraded soluble proteins. These proteins also exhibited significant ATPase activities. However, FtsH(DeltaTM) remained inactive both in ATPase and in protease activities even in the presence of dimethyl sulfoxide. The monomeric FtsH(DeltaTM) was able to bind ATP and a denatured protein. These results indicate that subunit association is important for the enzymatic catalysis by FtsH and that the additional presence of the transmembrane sequence is required for this enzyme to degrade a membrane protein even under detergent-solubilized conditions.

Previous studies have shown that the vacuolar-ATPase (V-ATPase) of the contractile vacuole complexes (CVCs) in Paramecium multimicronucleatum is necessary for fluid segregation and osmoregulation. In the current study, immunofluorescence showed that the development of a new CVC begins with the formation of a new pore around which the collecting canals form. The decorated membranes are then deposited around the newly formed collecting canals. Quick-freeze deep-etch techniques reveal that six 10-nm-wide V-ATPase V, sectors, tightly packed into a 20 x 30-nm rectangle, form two rows of these compacted sectors that helically wrap around the cytosolic side of decorated membrane tubules. During new CVC formation, packing of decorated tubules around mature CVCs was temporarily disrupted so that some of these decorated tubules became transformed into decorated vesicles. Freeze-fracturing of these decorated vesicles revealed a highly pitted E-face and a particulate P-face. The V-ATPase was purified for the first time in any ciliated protozoan and shown to contain, as in other cells, the V1 subunits A to E, and four 14-20 kDa polypeptides. The B subunit was cloned and found to be encoded by one gene containing four short introns. This subunit has 510 amino acid residues with a predicted molecular weight of 56.8 kDa, a value similar to B subunits of other organisms. Except for the N- and C-termini, it has a 75% sequence identity with other B subunits, suggesting that the B subunits in Paramecium, like other species, have been conserved and that the entire surface of this subunit may be important in interacting with other subunits.

An Arabidopsis cDNA clone that encodes Athb-12, a homeobox-leucine zipper domain protein (HD-Zip), was isolated by functional complementation of the NaCl-sensitive phenotype of a calcineurin (CaN)-deficient yeast mutant (cnbDelta, regulatory subunit null). CaN, a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase, regulates Na+ ion homeostasis in yeast. Expression of Athb-12 increased NaCl tolerance but not osmotic stress tolerance of these cnbDelta cells. Furthermore, expression of two other HD-Zip from Arabidopsis, Athb-1 and -7, did not suppress NaCl sensitivity of cnbDelta cells. These results suggest that Athb-12 specifically functions in Na+ ion homeostasis in yeast. Consistent with these observations, expression of Athb-12 in yeast turned on transcription of the NaCl stress-inducible PMR2A, which encodes a Na+/Li+ translocating P-type ATPase, and decreased Na+ levels in yeast cells. To investigate the biological function of Athb-12 in Arabidopsis, we performed Northern blot analysis. Expression of Athb-12 was dramatically induced by NaCl and ABA treatments, but not by KCl. In vivo targeting experiments using a green fluorescent protein reporter indicated that Athb-12 was localized to the nucleus. These results suggest that Athb-12 is a putative transcription factor that may be involved in NaCl stress responses in plants.

The role of the plasma membrane (PM) H(+)-ATPase (E.C. 3.6.1.3) in the plant's response to salt stress was studied in the perennial leguminosae forage Medicago arborea L. and its close relative Medicago citrina (Font-Quer) Greuter, a species exposed to saline conditions in its original habitat. Plants were solution cultured for 8 days in 1 or 100 mM NaCl. Leaf growth and CO(2) assimilation were more inhibited by salt in M. arborea than in M. citrina. Both species were able to osmoregulate, and salt-treated plants maintained turgor potentials, with no differences between species. Contrasting ion distribution patterns showed that M. citrina was able to exclude Na(+) from the leaves more selectively, while M. arborea had a greater buildup of leaf blade Na(+). Isolation of purified PM and quantification of H(+)-ATPase protein by Western blot analysis against the 46E5B11D5 or AHA3 antibodies showed an increase in response to salt stress in the expanding (92%) and expanded leaves (87%) of M. citrina, while no differences were found in the corresponding leaves of M. arborea. The assay of H(+)-ATPase specific activity of the two leaf types in salinized M. citrina confirmed this increase, as activities increased with 55% and 104% for the expanded and expanding leaves, respectively, while no significant differences were found for either leaf type of salinized M. arborea. A possible role of the increased expression of the PM H(+)-ATPase for leaf expansion and ion exclusion in salt-stressed plants is discussed.

Sugar beet seedlings (Beta vulgaris L. cv. Monohill) were cultivated for 3 weeks at different root and shoot temperatures and the plasma membranes (PM) from roots were purified by aqueous two-phase partitioning and analyzed for lipid composition and ATPase activities. Lipid analyses, undertaken immediately after PM purification from the roots, showed that a low root zone temperature (10 degrees C) decreased the ratio between the major lipids phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). A low temperature in the root environment increased the mol% of PE and decreased the mol% of phosphatidic acid (PA), independent on the shoot growth temperature. A low temperature also decreased the mol% of linoleic acid (18:2) and increased mol% of linolenic acid (18:3) in the analyzed lipid classes, especially in PC and PE. The ratio between acyl chain lipids and protein generally increased in PM from roots grown at 10 degrees C, compared with higher temperature. The changes in lipid composition correlated with changes in ATPase activities, detected as hydrolyses of MgATP. The kinetic parameters, K(m) and V of the PM H(+)ATPase in roots increased at a low cultivation temperature, independent on shoot temperature. Moreover, Arrhenius analyses showed that the transition temperature was independent of both root or shoot growth temperature at 10-24 degrees C, whereas the activation energy of the ATPase was dependent on the growth temperature of the root, and independent on shoot temperature. Thus, acclimation processes can take place in roots, irrespective of the shoot temperature.
