Incubations of fresh preparations of fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum (FSR) were carried out at pH 5.7. This pH was necessary for hydrolysis of phospholipids by phospholipase D. The pH did not influence calcium uptake or the activity of calcium-stimulated ATPase of FSR. Treatment of FSR with phospholipase D caused hydrolysis of the membrane phospholipids. The phosphatidic acid produced remained bound to the membrane. Increasing phospholipid cleavage was paralleled by loss of calcium uptake, which was complete when about two-thirds of the membrane phospholipids were hydrolyzed.

Treatment of cells with lysophosphatidylcholine, lysozyme, and phospholipase D removed most of their phospholipids and reduced ATPase activity to near zero. Addition of a microdispersion of phospholipids restored enzyme activity to various degrees. Phosphatidylcholine was most effective in reconstitution experiments, less effective were phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine. Lipid analyses of cell fractions were possible through separation of cell wall and cell membrane in a sucrose gradient after differentiated treatment of glutaraldehyde fixed cells with lysophosphatidylcholine, lysozyme, and pronase. Phosphatidylcholine was almost exclusively a component of the cell membrane, whereas phosphatidylethanolamine was that of the wall. It is concluded that lipids are necessary for in vivo function of a Mg-dependent ATPase, and that membrane-associated phosphatidylcholine may serve as a matrix for the enzyme. Lipid extracts made from cells or cell fractions contained plasmologens, not previously reported to occur in Gram-negative, aerobic bacteria.

Temperature dependence of bovine brain NA,K-ATPase before and after the short-term treatment of enzyme preparations with phospholipases A, C and D is investigated. Arrhenius plots of the temperature dependence of the reaction rate catalysed by Na,K-ATPase are non-linear, they have an inflection at the region of about 20 degrees C. The treatment of the enzyme with phospholipase A makes the inflection more smooth, phospholipase D shifts the inflection by 4 degrees C to lower temperature and simultaneously activates Na,K-ATPase. Phospholipase C sharply changes the Arrhenius curve and makes it linear. The data obtained are discussed with respect to the role of phospholipids in the formation of membrane bilayer and in the regulation of Na,K-ATPase activity.

The role of protein kinase C (PKC) in the regulation of phosphatidylcholine-hydrolyzing phospholipase D (PLD) was investigated. In membranes from Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts that had been incubated with [14C]choline to label endogenous phosphatidylcholine, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) failed to stimulate production of [14C]choline. However, stimulation was observed if fibroblast cytosolic fraction or PKC partially purified from this fraction was added. When incubated with membranes in the presence of PMA, pure PKC from rat brain stimulated [14C]choline production in a concentration-dependent manner, with a maximal 2-3-fold effect. PMA similarly stimulated [14C]phosphatidylpropanol formation from propanol using membranes from [14C]myristic acid-prelabeled cells, confirming the activation of PLD. None of the effects described required exogenous ATP. To probe the role of phosphorylation in the PKC effect, we included high concentrations of apyrase in the assay. This ATPase had no effect on the ability of PKC to activate PLD, but under exactly the same conditions, it eliminated autophosphorylation of PKC. The results provide conclusive evidence for the involvement of PKC in the activation of PLD and suggest that ATP-dependent phosphorylation is not required.

The purified Ca2+/Mg2+ ATPase from rat heart plasma membrane was activated by Ca2+ and Mg2+ with Ka values of 1.47 mM and 2.51 mM, respectively; other divalent cations also activated the enzyme but to a lesser extent. Divalent cations like Cu2+, Zn2+, Ni2+, Cd2+ were potent inhibitors of the enzyme activity in the presence of Ca2+ or Mg2+ whereas Na+, K+ or HCO3- did not affect the Ca2+/Mg2+ ATPase activity; the pH optima was 8.5. The enzyme hydrolyzed ATP with a Km of 0.34 mM for Ca2+ ATPase and 0.48 mM for Mg2+ ATPase; various nucleoside triphosphate such as ITP, CTP, GTP, and UTP were also hydrolyzed. Phospholipase A and C as well as neuraminidase decreased the Ca2+/Mg2+ ATPase activity whereas phospholipase D was ineffective. The purified Ca2+/Mg2+ ATPase was found to bind ATP-r-35S with two affinities; the KD values were 50.9 +/- 0.8 and 1160 +/- 198 nM and the Bmax values were 8.71 +/- 0.16 and 145 +/- 9.7 nmol/mg protein for high and low affinity sites, respectively. Treatment of the enzyme preparation with phospholipases and neuraminidase did not affect the ATP-r-35S binding. Ca2+ was also found to bind with Ca2+/Mg2+ ATPase with a KD of 0.384 mM and a Bmax of 1.85 mumol/mg protein; Ni2+, Mn2+, Zn2+ at 1 mM concentrations inhibited the Ca2+ binding but Mg2+ and verapamil were without effect. Phospholipase A and neuraminidase decreased the Ca2+ binding by 20-30%; this indicated that Ca2+ binding with the purified enzyme may be partly due to the phospholipids and sialic acid residues associated with the enzyme. These results show that the purified Ca2+/Mg2+ ATPase is a Ca2+ binding glycoprotein having two binding sites for ATP. Furthermore, this study suggests that phospholipids associated with purified Ca2+/Mg2+ ATPase are required for maximal activity.

Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) treatment has been shown previously to stimulate the sodium-dependent high-affinity choline uptake system as assessed by both the specific binding of [3H]hemicholinium-3 ([ 3H]HCh-3) and the uptake of [3H]choline. In the present study, the specificity of PLA2-induced stimulation upon [3H]HCh-3 binding has been examined. PLA2, as well as phospholipase C (PLC), treatment of synaptic membranes produced a dose-dependent increase in the specific binding of [3H]HCh-3 whereas neither phospholipase B nor phospholipase D had any effect. PLC-induced stimulation of [3H]HCh-3 binding resulted from a significant decrease in the Kd without a change in the maximum binding of [3H]HCh-3 binding. PLC treatment of synaptosomes resulted in an inhibition of [3H]choline uptake accompanied by an inhibition of Na+, K+-adenosine triphosphatase activity. In contrast to the increase of [3H]HCh-3 binding, the specific binding of both [3H]desipramine and [3H]mazindol was decreased by PLA2 treatment. After PLA2 treatment, [3H]HCh-3 binding was increased about 2.5-fold over basal levels in different regions of the brain. Electrolytic lesions of the medial septal nucleus and kainic acid-induced lesions of the striatum resulted in a marked reduction of [3H]HCh-3 binding in the hippocampus and the striatum, respectively. Residual [3H]HCh-3 binding in the denervated hippocampus and lesioned striatum was increased by PLA2 treatment but remained lower than that in PLA2-treated controls. Finally, atropine-induced up-regulation of [3H]HCh-3 binding in vivo was not additive with PLA2-induced stimulation. These results support the hypothesis that PLA2 might be involved in the regulation of the sodium-dependent high-affinity choline uptake.

The role of lipids of the sarcotubular membranes in their Ca(++) uptake and Mg-ATPase activities was investigated. Treatment of the membranes with phospholipase C inhibits both processes. Treatment with phospholipase A and phospholipase D, which results in massive hydrolysis of the sarcotubular phospholipids, does not inhibit either the Ca(++) uptake or the Mg-ATPase activities, nor does treatment with the polyene antibiotics affect these processes. Essential fatty acid deficiency alters sarcotubular membrane lipids; they contain much less stearic, linoleic, and arachidonic acids and much more oleic and eicosatrienoic acids than normally, but do not lose the ability to actively sequester Ca(++). It is concluded that neither nonpolar lipids nor the nonpolar regions of polar lipids are involved in Ca(++) sequestering and Mg-ATPase activities of the sarcotubular membranes. Of the polar components, the phosphoryl moiety of the phospholipids is required for both activities. However, the phosphoryl group appears to be required for the maintenance of the membranous structure necessary for Ca(++) sequestration rather than serving specifically in the active transport process. That treatment with phospholipase D, which results in the conversion of much of the sarcotubular phospholipid from a dipolar to an anionic structure, does not affect Ca(++) uptake activity is a most remarkable finding.

Isolated human red blood cell membrane fragments (RBCMF) were found to take up Ca(++) in the presence of ATP.(1) This ATP-dependent Ca(++) uptake by RBCMF appears to be the manifestation of an active Ca(++) transport mechanism in the red cell membrane reported previously (Schatzmann, 1966; Lee and Shin, 1969). The influences of altering experimental conditions on Ca(++)-stimulated Mg(++) ATPase (Ca(++) ATPase) and Ca(++) uptake of RBCMF were studied. It was found that pretreatment of RBCMF at 50 degrees C abolished both Ca(++) ATPase and Ca(++) uptake. Pretreatment of RBCMF with phospholipases A and C decreased both Ca(++) ATPase and Ca(++) uptake, whereas pretreatment with phospholipase D did not significantly alter either Ca(++) ATPase or Ca(++) uptake. Both Ca(++) ATPase and Ca(++) uptake had ATP specificity, similar optimum pH's, and optimum incubation temperatures. From these results, it was concluded that Ca(++) uptake is intimately linked to Ca(++) ATPase.

Treatment of canine cardiac sarcolemmal vesicles with phospholipase D resulted in a large stimulation (up to 400%) of Na+-Ca2+ exchange activity. The phospholipase D treatment decreased the apparent Km (Ca2+) for the initial rate of Nai+-dependent Ca2+ uptake from 18.2 +/- 2.6 to 6.3 +/- 0.3 microM. The Vmax increased from 18.0 +/- 3.6 to 31.5 +/- 3.6 nmol of Ca2+/mg of protein/s. The effect was specific for Na+-Ca2+ exchange; other sarcolemmal transport enzymes ((Na+, K+)-ATPase; ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport) are inhibited by incubation with phospholipase D. Phospholipase D had little effect on the passive Ca2+ permeability of the sarcolemmal vesicles. After treatment with 0.4 unit/ml of phospholipase D (20 min, 37 degrees C), the sarcolemmal content of phosphatidic acid rose from 0.9 +/- 0.2 to 8.9 +/- 0.4%; simultaneously, Na+-Ca2+ exchange activity increased 327 +/- 87%. It is probable that the elevated phosphatidic acid level is responsible for the enhanced Na+-Ca2+ exchange activity. In a previous study (Philipson, K. D., Frank, J. S., and Nishimoto, A. Y. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 5905-5910), we hypothesized that negatively charged phospholipids were important in Na+-Ca2+ exchange, and the present results are consistent with this hypothesis. Stimulation of Na+-Ca2+ exchange by phosphatidic acid may be important in explaining the Ca2+ influx which accompanies the phosphatidylinositol turnover response which occurs in a wide variety of tissues.

The production of platelet-activating factor (PAF) and the release of [3H]arachidonate were studied in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) stimulated with thapsigargin, an inhibitor of endomembrane Ca(2+)-ATPase. Concentrations of thapsigargin as low as 10-25 nM primed PMN for both PAF production and [3H]arachidonate release in response to the chemotactic peptide (fMLP), whereas concentrations in the range 25-200 nM induced a time- and dose-dependent production of PAF, which occurred in the absence of both [3H]arachidonate release and [3H]phosphatidylethanol formation. Studies in fura-2/AM-loaded cells showed that concentrations of thapsigargin that elicited PAF production induced a protracted and long lasting elevation of cytosolic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) between 200 and 700 nM. The lower concentrations primed the cells for a late [Ca2+]i elevation in response to fMLP similar to that elicited by cytochalasin B or ionomycin. PAF production showed a good correlation with the increase of [Ca2+]i (r = 0.91) irrespective of the procedure used to grade [Ca2+]i. In contrast, phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate failed to induce both PAF production and elevation of [Ca2+]i, but it was a very effective stimulator of [3H]arachidonate release and [3H]phosphatidylethanol production. These data indicate that PAF production and [3H]arachidonate release in PMN differ in both biochemical pathway and modulatory mechanisms. Whereas PAF production seems extremely sensitive to changes in [Ca2+]i, which seems to exert its modulatory effect at the lyso-PAF:acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase step, [3H]arachidonate release seems tightly modulated by protein kinase C-dependent mechanisms and is coincidental with activation of phospholipase D.
