A myosin-like protein was extracted and partially purified from a flowering plant, Egeria densa. It had no p-nitrophenyl phosphatase activity, but exhibited EDTA(K+)-ATPase [EC 3.6.1.3] activity at high ionic strength. Its molecular weight as estimated by gel filtration was 4-5 X 10(5). The presence of a heavy chain (MW = about 1.8 X 10(5)) was indicated by SDS-gel electrophoresis. Egeria myosin aggregated in an environment of low ionic strength and formed bipolar filaments. It bound with skeletal muscle F-actin with a periodicity of 40 nm.

The effect of calcitonin (CT) on Ca-ATPase activity in the plasma membrane fraction of rat liver was investigated. CT (80 MRC mU/100 g BW) administered subcutaneously to rats, caused a significant decrease in serum calcium, while increasing liver calcium. The administration of CT produced a rapid decrease of Ca-ATPase activity in the plasma membrane fraction of liver, whereas CT did not cause a significant alteration of p-nitrophenyl phosphatase activity. The maximal response of CT was obtained with 80 MRC mU/100 g BW. Meanwhile, the administration of imidazole (30 mg/100 g BW) which has a hypocalcemic effect, like CT, produced a significant increase in liver calcium and a corresponding fall in Ca-ATPase activity of the plasma membrane fraction. The reduction of Ca-ATPase activity produced by imidazole was significantly potentiated by the simultaneous administration of CT, and the rise in liver calcium was enhanced slightly. The present results suggest that the action of CT on liver calcium involves the decrease of Ca-ATPase activity in the plasma membrane of rat liver.

The effects of the alkaline phosphatase inhibitors levamisole and R 8231 on p-nitro-phenylphosphatase, inorganic pyrophosphatase and adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activities in dentingenically active odontoblasts were studied. The p-nitrophenylphosphatase and inorganic pyrophosphatase activities were inhibited, while 40% of the ATP-splitting enzyme activity remained under the assay condition used. This finding, togeather with earlier studies, indicates that at least two different phosphatase are active at alkaline pH in hard tissue-forming cells; on nonspecific alkaline phosphatase and one specific ATPase. The ATPase activity is uninfluenced by ouabain and ruthenium red and is activated by Ca-2+ ions.

1. ATP stimulated the p-nitrophenyl phosphatase activity of placental plasma membranes, with an increase in activity of approximately 100% at 5 mM ATP. The stimulation was not dependent on the presence of Mg-2-+. 2. The K-m for p-nitrophenyl phosphate was not changed by the presence of 5 mM ATP. 3. ATP hydrolysis by the plasma membrane preparation under the same assay conditions as for alkaline phosphatase was not influenced by the presence of 5 mM p-nitrophenyl phosphate. 4. Extraction of the plasma membrane preparation with n-butanol abolished the stimulatory effect of ATP, as well as Ca-2-+-activated ATPase activity.

Two fractions of gastric mucosal membranes obtained by Ficoll-sucrose density gradient centrifugation were studied by a variety of techniques to localize the polypeptides. Gel electrophoresis showed the presence of five major polypeptides and several minor ones. Only one of these, 82,000 daltons, was available for iodination in the intact tissue. The two membrane fractions differed in their accessibility to peroxidase. The denser fraction showed two major defined iodination peaks at 82,000 and 102,000 daltons. Freeze-thawing and iodinating with 131-I produced additional labeling of peaks as well as relabeling the 82,000-dalton component, showing it was accessible from both sides of the membrane. The two major components were also sensitive to cross-linking, the 102,000 polypeptide being especially sensitive to --SH oxidation. Proteolysis with trypsin removed both components in the denser membrane fraction, in addition to inhibiting the K+-ATPase and K+-p-nitrophenylphosphatase of that fraction. Phosphorylation with [gamma-32-P]ATP labeled the 102,000-dalton component and K+, HCO3- minus and p-nitrophenylphosphate reduced the level of labeling. Hence the 102,000 region contains a subunit of the ATPase, is readily iodinated in inside-out vesicles, and is the most available for interpeptide S--S cross-linking.

Interaction of lectins with a detergent-solubilized ATPase from eel electric organ was studied. Concanavalin A, which binds to alpha-mannosides, altered the rate of enzyme migration in agar and inhibited the formation of an antigen-antibody precipitate: other lectins had no such effects. Concanavalin A similar amounts partially inhibited (Na+ + K+)-ATPase; this inhibition was reversible by alpha-methylglucoside. There was no corresponding effect of concanavalin A on the potassium p-nitrophenylphosphatase. Concanavalin A also did not interfere with ouabain binding. Thus, concanavalin A binds to an antigenic region also involved in Na+ and/or ATP binding, but does not interact with a K+ site.

Previous studies showed that microsomal (Na+ + K+)ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) is activated by a proteinaeous material released by polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Investigations on the mode of action of the activator have been conducted by the siolation of 32P-labeled phosphoenzyme intermediates formed in the reaction of ATP and (Na+ + K)-ATPase, which has been postulated to occur through the formation and hydrolysis of acyl phosphate intermediates. The activator caused a concentration-dependent decrease in the recovery of phosphoenzyme intermediates that was not quantitatively altered by the Na+ or K+ concentration of the reaction mixture of by the presence of 1 mM oubain. A decline in phosphoenzyme intermediate recovery was promoted by the addition of the activator to preformed phosphoenzyme intermediates but not by activator that had been pretreated with protease or phenol. In addition, the activator caused a concentration-dependent stimulation of the p-nitrophenyl phosphatase and acetyl phosphatase activities of microsomal (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. It was proposed that the activator stimulates the dephosphorylation step of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase reaction sequence.

Pieces of rat and human gastric mucosa were fixed in glutaraldehyde and paraformaldehyde and were processed by the methods of Wachstein-Meisel and of Ernst for the cytochemical demonstration of adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) and p-nitrophenylphosphatase (NPPase) respectively. Electron microscopic examination of reacted sections revealed the ATPase reaction to be localized to the plasmalemma and to mitochondrial cristae and the NPPase reaction to the plasmalemma. The tubulovesicles were unreactive. By thus demonstrating a cytochemical difference between the plasmalemma and tubulovesicle membrane, this study suggests that the tubulovesicles do not represent an extension of or reserve of mature plasmalemma. If the tubulovesicles represent a reserve of membrane that can be rapidly utilized to expand the plasmalemma, then these studies suggest that additional membrane constituents are added, activated, or unmasked in the process.

A microsomal fraction rich in Na+, K+-ATPase (sodium-plus-potassium ion-dependent adenosine triphosphatase) and the corresponding K+-dependent p-nitrophenyl phosphatase from the rectal salt gland of the spiny dogfish was solubilized by treatment with deoxycholate at high ionic strength. On gel filtration through Sepharose 6B, the ATPase apoenzyme could be separated, in apparently soluble form, from the tissue-fraction phospholipids and was almost free of enzymic activity (2% of the p-nitrophenyl phosphatase activity and 0.2% of the ATPase activity being recovered). On mixing the apoenzyme with an activator consisting of cooked ox brain, a large proportion of the original enzymic activity was obtained. Specific activities of the re-activated enzyme were somewhat higher than in the material before gel filtration: values of 1300-1450 mumol and 250-290 mumol/h per mg of protein were obtained for the hydrolysis of ATP and of p-nitrophenyl phosphate respectively. The activity was inhibitible by ouabain.

Potassium-stimulated p-nitrophenylphosphatase (K+-pNPPase) activity was investigated in rat somatosensory cortex where 64-88% of enzymatic activity survived 5-10 min of fixation with 3% formaldehyde in 0.1 M cacodylate buffer, pH 7.4. Potassium-stimulated activity was inhibited by 1-10 mM ouabain. Levamisole (1.7 mM) inhibited brain alkaline phosphatase activity, facilitating the detection of K+-pNPPase activity. Strontium (10-20 mM) inhibited enzymatic activity by 38-75%. In parallel histochemical studies reaction product was found in strata, with cortical layers 2, 3, 4 and the outer portion of 5 containing the heaviest deposits. Highly reactive, vertically oriented, large diameter fibers were seen as groups between the outer portion of layer 5 and the pail surface. These fibers apparently arborize in the superficial layers. Smaller fibers were also positive and were oriented in various planes. The highest density of smaller, positive fibers occurred in layers 2 through 5. All positive fibers appeared to be axons or dendrites. Reaction product was not heavily concentrated in neuron perikarya or in glial elements. Sections did not contain reaction product when incubated in media lacking K+ or containing ouabain. The convergence of data from parallel histochemical and biochemical approaches supports the conclusion that the reactivity localized in the cerebral cortex represented the site of K+-pNPPase, a known component of the Na+,K+-adenosine triphosphatase complex. Neuronal processes demonstrated the highest enzymatic activity and may be most important in the active transport of Na+ and K+ in somatosensory cortex.
