Ultrastructural distribution of acid phosphatase and adenosine triphosphatase was studied in the receptor elements of HERBST and GRANDRY sensory corpuscles. Acid phosphatase activity was established in the elements of smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum of perineural capsule cells, as well as in the secondary lysosomes of all cell types. Particular interest was paid on the activity of myelin-like dense bodies and some clear core vesicles belonging to the axoplasm of receptor nerve fibres. Adenosine triphosphatase activity was established on the membranes of receptor structures and pinocytotic vesicles. More deposits of electron dense material were localized on the axolemma of the non-myelinated portions of the receptor nerve fibres. The functional significance and importance of the both enzymes in the receptor structures was discussed.

A comparison was made of the effects of cholera toxin and p[NH]ppG on the binding affinity of beta-adrenergic receptors in toad erythrocyte membranes. This was determined by studying the ability of isoproterenol and propranolol to compete for the receptor with (-)-[3H]dihydroalprenolol. p[NH]ppG decreased the receptor affinity for the agonist isoproterenol (i.e. a 'right' shift in the displacement-concentration curve), but was without effect on the affinity for the antagonist propranolol. Toad erythrocyte membranes after treatment with cholera toxin exhibited increased receptor affinity for isoproterenol (i.e. a 'left' shift in the displacement curve), but did not affect the affinity for propranolol. p[NH[ppG was able to exert its right shift even in cholera-toxin treated membranes. The ability of cholera toxin to alter beta-adrenergic-receptor affinity is interpreted as further evidence that the toxin affects the nucleotide-regulatory component of adenylate cyclase. The regulatory component affected may be the catecholamine-sensitive guanosine triphosphatase.

The effect of 3'-deoxyadenosine (cordycepin) on mRNA efflux from isolated SV40-3T3 cell nuclei has been studied and compared with its effect on the nucleoside triphosphatase activity in the isolated nuclear envelope. Inhibition of mRNA efflux occurs rapidly, but is dependent on the presence of ATP. Half-maximal inhibition occurs with 40 microM-cordycepin. The effect is not simulated by 2'-deoxyadenosine or by actinomycin D, and adenosine provides a substantial degree of protection against it. Cordycepin does not directly inhibit the nucleoside triphosphatase. The stimulation of this enzyme by poly(A) is not affected unless the poly(A) and cordycepin are incubated together with nuclear lysate in the presence of ATP; in this case the stimulation is significantly reduced. Possible interpretations of these results and their relevance for understanding the system in vivo for nucleo-cytoplasmic messenger transport are discussed.

The nucleoside triphosphatase activities of the nuclear envelopes from rat liver, pig liver and simian-virus-40-transformed mouse-embryo 3T3 cells were shown to exhibit similar parperties. All three preparations hydrolyse ATP, 2'-dATP, 3'-dATP, GTP, CTP and UTP in the presence of Mg2+, Ca2+, Mn2+ and Co2+ with a pH optimum of 8.0, are sensitive to inhibition by mercurials, arsenicals, quercetin, proflavin and adenosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate and are partially inactivated by exposure to high ionic strength. The kinetic behaviour is similar for all substrates irrespective of the source of material. The typical Eadie-Hofstee plot, which is concave upwards at pH 8.0 when the ionic strength is 20mM, becomes linear when the pH is increased to 8.5 or the ionic strength to 160mM. The overall evidence, particularly the labelling of only one polypeptide by [gamma-32P]ATP, suggests that under the conditions of preparation and assay used only one class of nucleoside triphosphatase active sites is detectable in nuclear envelopes. The importance of these results for an understanding of the role of the enzyme in vivo is discussed.

The nucleoside triphosphate-stimulated efflux of RNA from isolated nuclei was studied under a range of conditions, and the effects of these conditions on the process were compared with the properties of the nucleoside triphosphatase located in the pore complex. A marked similarity between the rate of efflux and the rate of nucleoside triphosphate hydrolysis was apparent, in terms of substrate specificity, sensitivity to treatment with insolubilized trypsin, kinetics and the effects of increased ionic strength and of many inhibitors. These results are taken, in view of earlier evidence, to suggest that the activity of the nucleoside triphosphatase is a prerequisite for nucleo-cytoplasmic RNA transport in vivo. There are some indications that the nuclear-envelope lipid is also involved in regulating the efflux process.

RNA polymerase I was isolated from parsley cells grown in suspension culture and from soybean hypocotyls. Kinetic studies of the enzyme revealed that RNA polymerase I is an allosteric regulated enzyme. The enzyme activity was influenced by nucleoside triphosphates (NTP) and divalent cations. NTP exceeding a 1:1 ratio of these two components acted as allosteric inhibitors, contrary to free divalent cations, which had promotive effects on the RNA polymerase I. Furthermore, isolated nuclei from parsley exhibited a powerful nucleoside triphosphatase (NTPase) activity. Contrary to RNA polymerase I, this enzyme was stimulated by NTP exceeding the 1:1 ratio of NTP and divalent cations. Free divalent cations had an inhibitory effect. Assuming that a causal connection of these two processes does exist, a possible role of this NTPase would be the control of NTP pools in relation to divalent cations and thus regulating RNA synthesis.

Adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) from Thiobacillus ferrooxidans was purified 55-fold. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the most purified fraction showed only one major band; histochemical analysis showed that the ATPase activity was associated with this band. The pH optimum is 9-10. The enzyme hydrolyzed ATP stoichiometrically to ADP and inorganic phosphate, the Km for this substrate being 7.75 times 10-3 M. GTP and ITP are alternate substrates, the Km values for these being 6.71 times 10-3 M and 3.12 times 10-3 M, respectively. ADP is slightly hydrolyzed. Magnesium, manganese, and calcium can serve as cofactors; Km values for these are 2.0 times 10-3 M, 9.4 times 10-4 M, and 8.0 times 10-4 M, respectively. The enzyme activity was not activated by either sodium or potassium, but a combination of the two ions were inhibitory. Azide and p-hydroxymercuribenzoate strongly inhibited the enzyme activity, whereas cyanide, dinitrophenol, and N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) were without effect. The enzyme was cold labile at 0 degrees-C, but was more stable at 18-24 degrees-C.

The interaction of myosin subfragment-1 (S-1) with 4,4'-bis(1-anilinonaphthalene 8-sulfonate) (bis-ANS) has been studied by monitoring the fluorescence of the latter when the two components form a complex. Because ATP and ATP analogs partially displace complexed bis-ANS it has also been possible to study interactions of S-1 and nucleotides by using the displacement effect. Approximate values of the parameters of these various interactions have been measured. Some possible applications of bis-ANS have been explored. For example, it provides a very convenient method for obtaining the Michaelis constant, Km, in steady-state S-1 nucleoside triphosphatase; this particular application has also provided some evidence for inferring that in Ca2+ (but not in Mg2+) adenosinetriphosphatase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) S-1 behaves like a mixture of two components, each with its own Km. Clear energy transfer occurs between tryptophan residues and bound bis-ANS. The fluorescence also suggests that S-1 undergoes some slow relaxations following substrate binding.

Extracts of the DNA initiation-defective mutant Escherichia coli dnaB252 are inactive in a dnaB complementation assay but yield a ribonucleoside triphosphatase activity of native molecular weight of about 270,000 (60,000-dalton polypeptide as subunit) that can be inactivated by antibody to dnaB. On the other hand, extracts of a dnaB252(P1 bac) lysogen, in which the dnaB mutation is suppressed in vivo by the constitutive expression of the P1 dnaB analog (ban protein), are active in dnaB complementation and the activity is also sensitive to dnaB antibody. Upon further purification two proteins (with polypeptide molecular weights of 60,000 and 56,000, respectively) are found associated with each other (native molecular weight about 270,000). The larger and the smaller protein are tentatively identified as the dnaB and P1 ban protein. It is suggested that suppression of the dnaB mutation by prophage P1 bac is accomplished by a stabilization of dnaB252 by P1 ban subunit molecules in a heteromultimer.

The purification of the Escherichia coli dnaB protein by affinity chromatography on nucleotides bound to agarose is described. The dnaB protein, which contains an associated ribonucleoside triphosphatase activity (Wickner, S., Wright, M., and Hurwitz, J. (1974) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 71, 783-787) binds to immobilized ATP, ADP, and UDP, but not to AMP. The type of linkage of ATP to agarose influences the adsorption, elution, and purification of the enzyme. Optimal purification is achieved using ATP bound to agarose via its oxidized ribose moiety. By this means, the dnaB protein can be obtained at least 95% electrophoretically pure after only three purification steps. The enzyme can be eluted from immobilized nucleoside-5'-di- and -triphosphates by ATP, ADP, and pyrophosphate, but not by AMP or orthophosphate. ADP and pyrophosphate, as well as the substrate ATP in high concentration are at the same time inhibitors of the ribonucleoside triphosphatase. The dnaB complementing and ribonucleoside triphosphatase activities could not be separated from each other by affinity chromatography, supporting the finding of others that they both reside on the same protein complex, namely a dnaB multimer. The results indicate that the dnaB protein binds to immobilized nucleotides by means of its ribonucleoside triphosphatase, and that at least the pyrophosphate moiety is essential for adsorption as well as elution of the enzyme.
