Brusatol, a quassinoid with potent antineoplastic activity against P-388 lymphocytic leukemia cell proliferation, significantly inhibited P-388 cell hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, malic dehydrogenase, and succinic dehydrogenase. Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, basal, and adenosine diphosphate-stimulated respiration, utilizing succinate and alpha-ketoglutarate as the substrate, was suppressed significantly by in vivo treatment with brusatol. However, brusatol treatment had no effect on liver oxidative phosphorylation. Brusatol greatly increased P-388 cyclic AMP levels but had no effect on liver cyclic nucleotides. Similar inhibitory effects on P-388 cell oxidative phosphorylation were found in vitro with brusatol, bruceoside A, and bruceantin. Brusatol had no effect on adenosine triphosphatase activity or on uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation. Rather, brusatol appeared to increase the concentration of reduced mitochondrial electron-transport cofactors, thereby blocking aerobic respiration. A proposed mechanism of action is discussed.

1. Of the 15 tyrosyl residues/subunit of yeast hexokinase A (ATP:D-hexose 6-phosphotransferase) only one residue is specifically modified at pH 8.0 with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide hydrochloride. 2. The acylation of this single tyrosyl residue leads to the loss of the enzyme activities (hexokinase and ATPase) by a first-order process, which can be fully reversed by treatment with hydroxylamine. 3. ATP does not protect the enzyme against chemical modification and inactivation; however, glucose exerts a noticeable though indirect protection effect against chemical modification and inactivation. 4. The chemically modified enzyme, purified by column chromatography, has 14% of the activity of the native enzyme, but the Km for ATP-Mg or glucose remains unchanged as does the pH optimum of activity. Results of conformational studies (ultracentrifugation, fluorescence, thermostability and chemical reactivity of the sulfhydryl groups) indicate that the decrease of enzyme activity due to the modification of the tyrosyl residue is related to a localized perturbation of the enzyme active-center region.

Keeping constant cellular magnesium an A 23 187 mediated moderate calcium loading of human red cells causes isoosmotic cell shrinkage, potassium efflux, slight decrease of cellular pH, ATP depletion connected with an increase of AMP, ADP and Pi and enhanced lactic acid formation. The calcium loading and accompanying effects can be abolished by EGTA or by extracellular magnesium, the latter kept more than two orders of magnitude above that of calcium which was 30 micrometer. Inhibition of the (Mg2+ + Ca2+)-dependent ATPase by ruthenium red or lanthanum decreases the calcium stimulated lactic acid formation after a lag phase. However, the ATP depletion proceeds faster and is much more pronounced under these conditions. (Mg+2 + Na+ +K+)-dependent ATPase, hexokinase, phosphofructokinase and cell shrinkage are ruled out, too, as mediators of the ATP depletion. This suggests that an unknown ATP consuming reaction, apparently not being related to the calcium pump, causes the calcium induced ATP depletion.

1. We have developed a procedure for preparing resealed red cell ghosts that contain ADP but very little ATP. 2. The procedure involves (i) lysis of the cells in a very large volume of lysing solution, (ii) resuspension of the ghosts in a small volume, (iii) the incorporation into the ghosts, before they are resealed, of the adenylate kinase inhibitor P1,P5-di(adenosine-5'-)pentaphosphate (AP5A) and of hexokinase, and (iv) the removal of traces of ATP, formed by residual adenylate kinase activity, by the addition of glucose. 3. Measurements of sodium efflux from ghosts prepared in this way show that sodium-sodium exchange through the sodium pump does not occur in the absence of ATP even if ADP is present. 4. The beta:gamma imido analogue of ATP (AMP.PNP), which is incapable of phosphorylating sodium, potassium-ATPase, cannot replace ATP in supporting sodium-sodium exchange. 5. These findings support the hypothesis that the outward movement of sodium ions through the sodium pump is associated with the transfer of a phosphoryl group from ATP to the enzyme, and that the inward movement of sodium ions through the pump is associated with the return of a phosphoryl group from the phosphoenzyme to ADP.

Several glycolytic enzymes were observed to have between 40-90% of their activities associated with the particulate fractions of lysed nerve endings. The enzymes showing high particulate activity in lysed nerve endings were hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1), aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13), glucosephosphate isomerase (EC 5.3.1.9), phosphofructokinase (EC 2.7.1.11), glyceraldehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.12), pyruvate kinase (EC 2.7.1.40) and lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.27). With the exception of phosphofructokinase, 80% or more of the particle associated activity of each enzyme was solubilized by salt treatment indicating the association with particles was ionic. Sub-fractionation of lysed nerve endings showed hexokinase and fumarase (EC 4.2.1.2) had the highest specific activity in the same fractions which is consistent with observations indicating that hexokinase is associated with mitochondria. The other glycolytic zymes having high particulate activity, aldolase, glucosephosphate isomerase, phosphofructokinase, glyceraldehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase, pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase, showed enrichment in fractions containing synaptosomal membranes, i.e. the fractions having highest specific activity of acetylcholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.7) and (Na+ + K+)-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3).

1. The preparation of rat heart mitochondria with Potter-Elvehjem homogenizer results in mitochondria showing stimualtion of respiration induced by Mg2+. This stimualtion is neither caused by adherent hexokinase nor by energy-dependent magnesium accumulation (Mg2+ content in the presence of 10 mM glutamate: 22 nmoles/mg protein; in the presence of glutamate plus antimycin A 21 nmoles/mg protein). 2. The effect of added magnesium is excluded by addition of carboxyatractyloside. This demonstrates the activity of an ATPase outside of the mitochondrial inner membrane. 3. A simple and rapid method for the preparation of Mg2+-insensitive rat heart mitochondria is presented. The minced heart is pressed through a normal syringe and then treated with trypsin. 4. A comparison of mitochondria of both preparations shows that there is no difference in magnesium content and no energy-dependent magnesium influx.

Histologic investigations together with histochemical and photometric measurements of enzyme activities were performed in retina of rabbits, whose blood supply had been totally interrupted for 1h. A retinal edema developed affecting the internal layers between the inner limiting membrane and the internal plexiform and ganglion cell layer. Although this edema was quite remarkable at the posterior pole of the eye, it diminished toward the periphery, disappearing near the ora serrata. The activities of the following enzymes were investigated: hexokinase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, aldolase, glyceraldehydephosphate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, ATPase, and phosphorylase. The most striking finding was the total disappearance of phosphorylase activity under pressure ischemia. ATPase and aldolase showed a decreased activity in the ischemic retina, and malate dehydrogenase a slightly diminished one. Concerning the other enzymes, no significant differences between normal and ischemic retina were observed.

In the presence of hexokinase, vesicles derived from the sarcoplasmic reticulum of skeletal muscle are able to accumulate Ca2+ in a medium containing ADP and glucose 6-phosphate. No significant Ca2+ uptake is observed if one of these components is omitted from the assay medium. Due to its high affinity for ATP, the Ca(2+)-ATPase can use the very low concentrations of ATP formed from glucose 6-phosphate and ADP to form a Ca2+ gradient. This finding indicates that glucose 6-phosphate and hexokinase can be used as an ATP-regenerating system. The Ca2+ uptake supported by glucose 6-phosphate and ADP is inhibited by glucose and D-xylose. Half-maximal inhibition is observed in the presence of 0.4 mM glucose and 100 mM D-xylose. The transport ratio (Ca2+ transported:substrate utilized) is the same for glucose 6-phosphate and ATP. The Ca2+ gradient formed when glucose 6-phosphate and ADP are the substrates can be used to synthesize ATP from ADP and Pi. The concentration of ATP formed after reversal of the Ca2+ pump is much higher than that expected from direct equilibration of the reaction between glucose 6-phosphate and ADP.

A smooth muscle plasma membrane vesicular fraction (PMV) purified for the (Ca2+/Mg2+)-ATPase has endogenous glycolytic enzyme activity. In the presence of glycolytic substrate (fructose 1,6-diphosphate) and cofactors, PMV produced ATP and lactate and supported calcium uptake. The endogenous glycolytic cascade supports calcium uptake independent of bath [ATP]. A 10-fold dilution of PMV, with the resultant 10-fold dilution of glycolytically produced bath [ATP] did not change glycolytically fueled calcium uptake (nanomoles per milligram protein). Furthermore, the calcium uptake fueled by the endogenous glycolytic cascade persisted in the presence of a hexokinase-based ATP trap which eliminated calcium uptake fueled by exogenously added ATP. Thus, it appears that the endogenous glycolytic cascade fuels calcium uptake in PMV via a membrane-associated pool of ATP and not via an exchange of ATP with the bulk solution. To determine whether ATP produced endogenously was utilized preferentially by the calcium pump, the ATP production rates of the endogenous creatine kinase and pyruvate kinase were matched to that of glycolysis and the calcium uptake fueled by the endogenous sources was compared with that fueled by exogenous ATP added at the same rate. The rate of calcium uptake fueled by endogenous sources of ATP was approximately twice that supported by exogenously added ATP, indicating that the calcium pump preferentially utilizes ATP produced by membrane-bound enzymes.

The synthesis of 8-thiocyano-ATP (CNS8-ATP) is described. At 37 degrees C the ATP analogue inactivates Na,K-ATPase, hexokinase, and pyruvate kinase. In all three cases, inactivation can be prevented by the addition of ATP, thus indicating that CNS8-ATP is recognized within the ATP binding site of the above enzymes. Incubation of the inactivated enzymes with dithiothreitol restores the catalytic activities. Therefore, it is likely that in these enzymes a mixed disulfide (E-S-S8-ATP) is formed between a sulfhydryl in the ATP binding site (E-SH) and the ATP analogue: [formula: see text] From the pseudo-first-order inactivation kinetics, a KD = 2.7 microM with k2 = 0.142 min-1 is calculated for the hexokinase and a KD = 40 microM with k2 = 0.347 min-1 is calculated for the pyruvate kinase interactions with the ATP analogue. At 4 degrees C, Na,K-ATPase recognizes CNS8-ATP with a KD = 8.3 microM. At 37 degrees C, the enzyme becomes inactivated by the ATP analogue in a biphasic manner. Inactivation results in the incorporation of [alpha-32P]8-CNS8-ATP into the catalytic alpha-subunit of the enzyme. Limited tryptic digestion in the presence of 150 mM KCl results in the formation of a radioactive peptide of Mr = 56,000, known to bear the purine binding domain of Na,K-ATPase. The results described in this article verify CNS8-ATP as a sulfhydryl-reactive ATP analogue and characterize this new ATP analogue as a useful tool for structure/function studies on ATP-recognizing enzymes.
