Described in this report is an application of agarose-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, which separates protein components of crude dynein fraction (Fraction I by Gibbons) derived from Tetrahymena cilia. By this method, the fraction was separated into three protein components (designated as bands I, II and III) on the gel. When the gel was actively stained for dynein ATPase, a single band appeared, which coincided with the position of band I. A purified dynein prepared by controlled pore glass (CPG-10) column chromatography and followed by Biogel A-15m filtration showed one band on the gel at the same position as band I. These results suggest that among these three protein components, band I represents dynein and bands II and III are derived form non-ATPase protein. 'Burstic phenomenon' was also observed on their ATPase activity when axoneme or crude dynein fractions were used for ATPase assay, while the phenomenon was almost extinguished when partially purified dynein after controlled pore glass column chromatography was used as sample.

1. Dynein was extracted with 0.5 M KCl from Tetrahymena axonemes. SDS-gel electrophoresis of the extract indicated that about 50% of the extracted protein had a molecular weight of about 3.5 X 10(5), and that 90% of the proteins with this weight had been extracted. 2. The ATPase [EC 3.6.1.3] reaction of the KCl-extracted dynein fraction was enhanced by 60-80% by addition of the outer doublet fraction. It showed an initial burst of Pi liberation of about 1 mol per mol of proteins with a molecular weight of 3.5 X 10(5). 3. We examined the interaction of the dynein-tubulin system from Tetrahymena cilia with ten ATP analogs [2'-dATP, 3'-dATP, epsilonATP, FTP, 8-NH(CH3)-ATP, 8,3'-S-cyclo-ATP, 8-Br-ATP, 8-OCH3-ATP, 8-SCH3-ATP, and AMPPNP]. Among them, 2'-dATP and 3'-dATP were good substrates for dynein ATPase, as they induced the dissociation of dynein arms from the B-tubule of outer doublets, the sliding movement between outer doublets, and the bending movement of axonemes. The other analogs did not induce the dissociation or the sliding movement. 4. Among the ATP analogs tested, only 2'-dATP and 3'-dATP induced the reorientation of cilia on the Triton model of Tetrahymena; the reorientation rates were smaller than that induced by ATP.

A high-resolution sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis system has been used to show the presence, in both whole sperm and isolated flagellar axonemes, of eight polypeptides migrating in the 300,000--350,000 molecular weight range characteristic of the heavy chains of dynein ATPase. Previously, only five such chains have been discernible. Extraction of isolated axonemes for 10 min at 4 degrees C with a solution containing 0.6 M NaCl, ph 7, releases a mixture of particles that separate, in sucrose density gradient centrifugation, into a major peak, dynein 1 ATPase, sedimenting at 21S and a minor peak at 12--14S. The polypeptide compositions of these two peaks are different. The dynein 1 peak, which contains most of the protein on the gradient, contains approximately equal quantities of two closely migrating heavy chains, with a small amount of a third, more slowly migrating chain; no other heavy chains appear in this peak. Two groups of smaller polypeptides (three intermediate chains, within the apparent molecular weight range 76,000--122,000 and four newly discovered light chains, within the apparent molecular weight range 14,000--24,000) cosediment with the 21S peak. The heavy chain composition of the 12--14S peak is more complex, all eight heavy chains occurring approximately the same ratios as occur in intact axonemes.

The effects of thiourea and of several substituted thioureas -- phenylthiourea, alpha-naphtylthiourea, metiamide, and burimamide -- on dynein ATPase have been studied. The substituted thioureas are over 30 times more potent than thiourea in causing enhancement of 30S dynein ATPase activity and inhibition of 14S dynein ATPase activity. The effects of thiourea and phenylthiourea can be prevented by very low concentrations of beta-mercaptoethanol or dithiothreitol. Axonemal ATPase is also enhanced by the thioureas, but the reaction proceeds more slowly than for solubilized 30S dynein. Enhancement of 30S dynein ATPase by metiamide is prevented by low (approximately 1 microM) concentrations of ATP and, less effectively, by AMP-PNP, but not by AMP-PCP even though the latter is a stronger inhibitor of 30S dynein ATPase than is AMP-PNP. The thioureas inhibit the ATP-induced decrease in turbidity (measured as delta A350) of axonemal suspensions. Inhibition of the turbidity response is also prevented by low concentrations of beta-mercaptoethanol, but, in contrast to the irreversible enhancement of ATPase activity, inhibition of the turbidity response is largely reversible. The ability of 30S dynein to rebind onto twice-extracted axonemes is not changed by treatment with phenylthiourea or metiamide. These observations indicate that the thioureas react with at least two sets of SH or S--S groups on axonemes. Reaction with the group(s) on the 30S dynein causes an apparently irreversible enhancement of ATPase activity. Reaction with another group(s) causes a reversible inhibition of the turbidity response.

The enhancing effect of low concentrations (eg, 8 microM) of bis(4-fluoro-3-nitrophenyl)sulfone (FNS) on 30S dynein ATPase activity is increased when 1 mM dithiothreitol (DTT) is present. The effect of FNS + DTT is optimal at pH 7.5. Activation of the latent ATPase activity of 30S dynein by FNS + DTT is partially prevented by 1--3 microM ATP. Adenylylimidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP) is less effective than ATP, while beta, gamma-methylene-adenosine triphosphase (AMP-PCP), though a much stronger inhibitor of ATPase activity than AMP-PNP, does not protect against enhancement. These results demonstrate the presence of high-affinity ATP-binding site on 30S dynein.

The effects of N-1-oxyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinyl)maleimide(SLM) on the pellet height response and ATPase activity of glycerinated Triton X-100 extracted cilia of Tetrahymena pyriformis have been studied. Preincubation of cilia with SLM caused complete inhibition of the pellet height response and an initial increase in ATPase activity followed upon longer exposure to SLM by inhibition of ATPase. The effect of SLM on extracted 30S dynein was the reverse of that for whole cilia: ATPase activity was increased when 30S dynein was added to a mixture of ATP and SLM and inhibited when the 30S dynein was preincubated with SLM. The activity of 14S dynein was only inhibited by SLM. Electron spin resonance spectra of ciliary axonemes that had reacted with SLM for various times showed that much of the covalently bound SLM was strongly immobilized even after 1 min of reaction, when ATPase activity increased twofold. The proportion of strongly immobilized label increased with longer times of reaction. Addition of ATP to SLM-labeled axonemes caused a small decrease in the height of the spectral peak corresponding to strongly immobilized label as compared with that of weakly immobilized label, indicating an increase in rotational freedom of some covalently bound label. The results suggest that ATP causes a conformation change affecting a sulfhydryl group(s) involved in the mechanochemical system. It was also shown that beta,gamma-methylene ATP(AMP-PCP) is an inhibitor of dynein ATPase. This analogue of ATP is not hydrolyzed by whole cilia or by the extracted dyneins and does not cause a pellet height response. With Mg2+ as divalent cation, AMP-PCP inhibits 30S dynein more than it inhibits 14S dynein; with Ca2+, the inhibition of 30S dynein is reduced, and there is no inhibition of 14S dynein. Under conditions where AMP-PCP inhibited 30S dynein ATPase it was much less effective than ATP in protecting against the loss of ATPase activity by SLM. Although SLM inhibited Mg2+-activated 14S and 30S dyneins in solution, it did not inhibit ciliary ATPase activity. These results support the view that at least 2 SH groups are involved in ciliary motility and that their reactivity to SH reagents depends on whether the dyneins are in situ or have been extracted.

Serotonin, an activator of adenylate cyclase, stimulates motility in molluscan gill cilia and sperm flagella. To determine and compare potential targets of cAMP action, dynein was prepared from the lateral gill.cilia and sperm flagella of the mussel Mytilus edulis and the clam Spisula solidissima. In the flagella of both species, high-salt extraction removes about half of the ATPase activity, half of the alpha and beta heavy chains, and the outer arms. The dynein from both species sediments at 18-20 S, contains two or three intermediate chains, and three light chains. High-salt plus detergent removes most of the remaining dynein ATPase, alpha and beta heavy chains, and inner arms, also yielding a stable 18-20 S particle. In gill cilia of both species, high-salt extraction removes only 12-18% of the ATPase, up to 1/3 of the alpha heavy chains, an equivalent amount of beta heavy chain, and a subset of the outer arms. The dynein sediments at 18-20 S and, in Spisula, the heavy, intermediate, and light chains precisely co-sediment. High-salt plus detergent removes another 1/3 of the alpha heavy chains, an equivalent amount of beta heavy chain, and the remaining outer arms. The ATPase sediments mainly as a 13-14 S form showing considerable dissociation of co-sedimenting intermediate and light chains. The inner arms and at least half of the ciliary dynein ATPase activity remain unextractable, corresponding in mass mainly to an apparent beta heavy chain that is vanadate-cleavable. Cyclic AMP-dependent, calcium-independent phosphorylation takes place on specific dynein light chains in cilia but on only the dynein alpha heavy chain in flagella. Pre-activation of the flagella prevents subsequent addition of labeled phosphate. Phosphorylation has no effect on the steady-state ATPase properties. The single phosphate added to the flagellar alpha chain is located within the LUV1 vanadate photocleavage fragment. Considering the probable locus of the light chains and the site of the alpha heavy chain phosphorylation, both beyond the active site and toward the base of the molecule, these distinct phosphorylations may regulate dynein action by modulating arm flexibility or interaction.

Acetaldehyde, which is present in significant concentrations in cigarette smoke and is elevated during alcohol ingestion, has been demonstrated to impair mucociliary clearance of the lung. Acetaldehyde is also known to impair protein function through the formation of acetaldehyde-protein adducts. We hypothesized that acetaldehyde impairs bronchial epithelial cilia motion by inhibiting cilia dynein adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) activity through the formation of acetaldehyde adducts with cilia proteins. Acetaldehyde induced concentration- and time-dependent slowing of cilia beating and cilia-derived dynein ATPase activity in primary cultures and isolated axonemes of bovine airway epithelial cells. Cilia slowing and ATPase inhibitory effects were also observed with related aldehydes but not with ethanol. Acetaldehyde binding, assessed by gel electrophoresis using [14C] acetaldehyde, was demonstrated to occur with the dynein heavy chains and with tubulin and closely paralleled ATPase inhibition. We conclude that acetaldehyde directly impairs bronchial cilia function causing slowing of cilia beating, inhibits cilia dynein ATPase activity, and binds to cilia proteins critical for motion including dynein and tubulin. These data suggest that acetaldehyde-induced cilia dysfunction may be related to direct cilia ATPase inactivation and adduct formation with cilia dynein and tubulin. This may be an important mechanism by which airway host defenses are impaired in clinical settings where acetaldehyde exposure occurs, e.g., with cigarette smoking and alcohol ingestion.

1. At 40 degrees C, around the normal avian body temperature, demembranated fowl spermatozoa with no addition of monovalent chlorides were immotile. 2. Demembranated spermatozoa become motile at 40 degrees C when 0.1-0.5 M concentrations of NH4Cl, NaCl and KCl were added to the reactivation medium, with maximum motility occurring at 0.2-0.3 M in all cases. 3. The addition of NH4Cl, NaCl and KCl also stimulated the ATPase activity of crude dynein extract. In contrast, LiCl did not appreciably affect motility and ATPase activity. 4. These results showed that the flagellar dynein ATPase activity of fowl spermatozoa could be stimulated by the addition of certain monovalent chlorides, except LiCl, and demembranated spermatozoa might be motile at 40 degrees C.

Irradiation of outer arm dynein ATPase from sea urchin sperm tail flagella at 365-410 nm in the presence of Fe(III)-gluconate complex and ATP produces photolytic cleavage at two distinct sites on the beta heavy chain, located approximately 250 and approximately 230 kDa from its amino terminus. The former cut is close to or identical with the V1 site of the vanadate-mediated photocleavage (Gibbons, I.R., Lee-Eiford, A., Mocz, G., Phillipson, C. A., Tang, W.-J.Y., and Gibbons, B.H. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 2780-2786. The rate of photolysis shows a hyperbolic dependence on Fe(III)-gluconate concentration with half-maximal rate occurring at 23 microM at pH 6.3. In the presence of 0.1-0.5 mM Fe(III)-gluconate-ATP, approximately 58% of the beta chain becomes cleaved with a half-time of about 34 s; the remainder of the beta chain and almost all of the alpha chain are resistant to cleavage. This photolytic cleavage of the beta chain is accompanied by an approximately parallel loss of the dynein latent ATPase activity, whereas the Triton-activated ATPase is lost to a somewhat greater extent. Mg2+ concentrations above approximately 3 mM inhibit photolysis. Substitution of ADP for ATP changes the pattern of cleavage so that both the alpha and beta heavy chain undergo scission but at the 250-kDa site only. AMP, adenyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate and Fe(II) do not support cleavage at either site. Trivalent rhodium-ATP complexes, as models of MgATP, can also catalyze photolysis of the beta chain at the 250-kDa site. These results suggest that photolysis results from the activation of an Fe(III)-ATP complex bound to the hydrolytic ATP binding site of the beta chain and that both Fe(III) cleavage sites are located close to the nucleotide binding site in the tertiary folding of the beta heavy chain. The cleavage reaction possibly involves initial photoreduction of Fe(III) bound at the Mg2+ binding site in the dynein.Fe.ATP complex, followed by covalent modification of an amino acid side chain that leads to eventual peptide scission.
