The effect of phospholipase A2 and of related agents on ouabain binding and Na, K-ATPase activity were studied in intact and detergent-treated membrane preparations of rat brain cortex and pig kidney medulla. It was found that phospholipase A2 (PLA2) may distinguish or dissociate ouabain binding complexes I (ATP + Mg + Na) and II (Pi + Mg), stimulating the former and inhibiting the latter. Procedures which break the permeability barriers of vesicular membrane preparations, such as repeated freezing-thawing, sonication or hypoosmotic shock failed to mimic the effect of PLA2, indicating that it was not acting primarily by opening the inside-out oriented vesicles. The detergent digitonin exhibited similar effects on ouabain binding in both ATP + Mg + Na and Pi + Mg media. Other detergents were ineffective. The ability of PLA2 to distinguish between ouabain binding type I and II can be manifested even in SDS-treated, purified preparations of Na, K-ATPase. The number of ATP + Mg + Na-dependent sites is unchanged, while the Pi + Mg-dependent sites are decreased in number in a manner similar to that seen in original membranes. This inhibition is completely lost in the reconstituted Na, K-ATPase system, where the ATP- as well as Pi-oriented ouabain sites are inhibited by PLA2.

Thrombin exhibited diverse effects on mouse 3T3 fibroblasts. It (a) decreased cAMP in the cell suspension, (b) inhibited adenylate cyclase in the Lubrol-permeabilized cell suspension in a GTP-dependent manner, increased releases of (c) arachidonic acid and (d) inositol from the cell monolayer prelabeled with these labeled compounds, (e) increased 45Ca2+ uptake into the cell monolayer, and (f) increased 86Rb+ uptake into the cell monolayer in a ouabain-sensitive manner. Most of the effects were reproduced by bradykinin, platelet-activating factor, and angiotensin II. The receptors for these agonists are thus likely to be linked to three separate effector systems: the adenylate cyclase inhibition, the phosphoinositide breakdown leading to Ca2+ mobilization and phospholipase A2 activation, and the Na,K-ATPase activation. Among the effects of these agonists, (a), (b), (c), and (e) were abolished, but (d) and (f) were not, by prior treatment of the cells with islet-activating protein (IAP), pertussis toxin, which ADP-ribosylates the Mr = 41,000 protein, the alpha-subunit of the inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein (Ni), thereby abolishing receptor-mediated inhibition of adenylate cyclase. The effects (a), (c), (d), and (e) of thrombin, but not (b), were mimicked by A23187, a calcium ionophore. The effects of A23187, in contrast to those of receptor agonists, were not affected by the treatment of cells with IAP. Thus, the IAP substrate, the alpha-subunit of Ni, or the protein alike, may play an additional role in signal transduction arising from the Ca2+-mobilizing receptors, probably mediating process(es) distal to phosphoinositide breakdown and proximal to Ca2+ gating.

With a variety of forms of ischemic and toxic tissue injury, cellular accumulation of Ca2+ and generation of oxygen free radicals may have adverse effects upon cellular and, in particular, mitochondrial membranes. Damage to mitochondria, resulting in impaired ATP synthesis and diminished activity of cellular energy-dependent processes, could contribute to cell death. In order to model, in vitro, conditions present post-ischemia or during toxin exposure, the interactions between Ca2+ and oxygen free radicals on isolated renal mitochondria were characterized. The oxygen free radicals were generated by hypoxanthine and xanthine oxidase to simulate in vitro one of the sources of oxygen free radicals in the early post-ischemic period in vivo. With site I substrates, pyruvate and malate, Ca2+ pretreatment, followed by exposure to oxygen free radicals, resulted in an inhibition of electron transport chain function and complete uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation. These effects were partially mitigated by dibucaine, a phospholipase A2 inhibitor. With the site II substrate, succinate, the electron transport chain defect was not manifest and respiration remained partially coupled. The electron transport chain defect produced by Ca2+ and oxygen free radicals was localized to NADH CoQ reductase. Calcium and oxygen free radicals reduced mitochondrial ATPase activity by 55% and adenine nucleotide translocase activity by 65%. By contrast oxygen free radicals alone reduced ATPase activity by 32% and had no deleterious effects on translocase activity. Dibucaine partially prevented the Ca2+-dependent reduction in ATPase activity and totally prevented the Ca2+-dependent translocase damage observed in the presence of oxygen free radicals. These findings indicate that calcium potentiates oxygen free radical injury to mitochondria. The Ca2+-induced potentiation of oxygen free radical injury likely is due in part to activation of phospholipase A2. This detrimental interaction associated with Ca2+ uptake by mitochondria and exposure of the mitochondria to oxygen free radicals may explain the enhanced cellular injury observed during post-ischemic reperfusion.

Delipidation of beef heart electron transport particles with phospholipase A2 has been examined. When the particles were treated with the lipase and subjected to a low bovine serum albumin wash, ATPase activity was unaffected as was the lipid/protein ratio of the particles. However, energisation by ATP/Mg2+ was abolished. Furthermore, unsaturated but not saturated fatty acids discharged the steady-state ATP-driven membrane potential of control samples. When the phospholipase A2 hydrolysis products were removed, inhibition of energy-linked reactions in the lipid-depleted particles was still observed and was interpreted in terms of non-specific leaks in the vesicle membranes, and 'specific' leaks through impaired H+-ATPase complexes. ATPase activity was less susceptible to delipidation than energisation but was, nevertheless, strongly inhibited at 50 percent lipid depletion. Spin label studies indicated a decrease in the fluidity of particle membranes accompanying delipidation. Moreover, the discontinuity seen in Arrhenius plots of ATPase activity was shifted from 17 degrees C (control) to 22 degrees C at 50 percent phospholipid depletion. The data are consistent with a release of unsaturated fatty acids by phospholipase A2 rendering the transport particles both leakier and the membranes less fluid than controls.

Ca2+ ATPase molecules in sarcoplasmic reticulum, isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle, have been induced to crystallize into two-dimensional arrays by incubating the vesicles with phospholipase A2 and dialysing against dilute Tris/HCl buffer. These crystals differ in shape and size from those produced by treatment of the sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles with Na3VO4. However, the unit-cell dimensions of both types of crystals are similar. The differences in shape and size are presumably due to differences in the mechanisms of crystal formation induced by treatment with phospholipase and Na3VO4.

The effect of phospholipase A2 on the Ca2+-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) activity in the microsomal fraction of rat submandibular gland was kinetically studied in vitro. The Ca2+-ATPase activity was significantly increased by the treatment with phospholipase A2 in the presence of bovine serum albumin as a scavenger for hydrolyzed products. When the microsomal fraction was incubated with phospholipase A2 in the absence of bovine serum albumin, the Ca2+-ATPase activity was not altered. The Vmax and Km values for both ATP and Ca2+ were increased by the phospholipase A2 treatment, respectively. These results indicated that the activation of Ca2+-ATPase by the phospholipase A2 treatment is due to the increase of Vmax.

Isolated rat liver mitochondria, freed from microsomes and lysosomes contaminants, were maintained at 0-4 degrees C for several days using an appropriate medium and energy source. It was observed that the phospholipase A2 activity of mitochondria deficient in vitamin E is higher than in normal mitochondria, and that the presence of vitamin E in the preservation medium diminishes the phospholipase A2 activity in deficient mitochondria. In vitamin E deficient mitochondria up to 45% of phospholipids was digested by the endogenous phospholipase with little loss in the energy linked function or without considerable activation of the latent enzymes monoamine oxidase and ATPase. These results are consistent with the occurrence of phospholipids in the mitochondrial membrane which would render it more accessible to the action of phospholipase A2.

The effect of the presynaptic neurotoxin beta-bungarotoxin (beta-BuTx) on the acetylcholine (ACh) storage system of synaptic vesicles isolated from the electric organ of Torpedo californica was studied. The toxin can totally inhibit active transport of [3H]ACh by the vesicles in a Ca2+-, time-, and concentration-dependent manner. Correlated with these effects is a 50-60% stimulation of the vesicle proton-pumping ATPase activity. The beta-BuTx-mediated transport inhibition and ATPase stimulation are antagonized by delipidated bovine serum albumin, not reversed by excess EGTA, and not mimicked by other cationic proteins or soybean or pancreatic trypsin inhibitors. The behavior is consistent with phospholipase A2 (PLA2)-dependent damage to the vesicle membrane caused by beta-BuTx, which results in uncoupling of the ATPase and ACh transporter systems. The nonneurotoxic Naja naja venom PLA2 causes similar effects, except that it is slightly more potent on a molar basis. About 100-fold more beta-BuTx is required to effect lysis of synaptic vesicles than to uncouple them. ATP is a strong inhibitor of beta-BuTx- but not of N. naja PLA2-mediated uncoupling. The observations suggest that a component of beta-BuTx toxicity in the cholinergic terminal might involve attack on synaptic vesicles or vesicle-like structures and that a nucleotide-like factor might modulate the toxicity.

A steady-state fluorescence polarization technique, using the membrane probe 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH), showed that separately detectable transitions occurred in the regions of 17, 26 and 36 degrees C in isolated preparations of ram sperm plasma membrane. An independent technique based on the temperature-related behaviour of calcium- and magnesium-activated ATPase detected a single phase transition in the region of 24 degrees C. Modulation of ATPase by neighbouring lipid composition was inferred from findings that phospholipase A2 caused significant stimulation of the enzyme. Cholesterol-rich liposomes caused an upward shift of the phase-transition temperature from 24 degrees C to 30 degrees C, but the reasons for this are unclear. It is considered that these phase transitions may have profound effects on sperm survival and physiology, both during normal fertilization processes and in response to cryostorage.

Notexin belongs to a class of snake venom neurotoxins and myotoxins that have phospholipase A2 activity. Previous studies have shown that these toxins affect target cells differently from phospholipases that are not neurotoxic or myotoxic. Notexin inhibited the Ca2+ uptake into fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum from rabbit skeletal muscle, but it did not cause an efflux of previously accumulated Ca2+ or inhibit the Ca2+--ATPase activity. It is suggested that notexin specifically binds to and decreases the conductance for Ca2+ of the Ca2+ pump and/or the conductance of a channel for an ion that facilitates Ca2+ transport. The K+ ionophore valinomycin reversed the notexin-induced inhibition of Ca2+ uptake into sarcoplasmic reticulum, suggesting that the molecular target of notexin could be a K+ channel. Two types of reconstitution experiments make it unlikely that notexin acts by degrading a minor lipid that is resistant to hydrolysis by nontoxic phospholipases A2. Notexin-inactivated sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles were reactivated (with respect to Ca2+ uptake) by simple solubilization with detergent and subsequent reconstitution by detergent removal. Second, notexin was still active on sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles after greater than 94% of the lipids were replaced by soybean phosphoglycerides during the reconstitution procedure.
