A method for the preparative high-yield electroelution of proteins from sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel strips was established. The method consisted of SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, detection of proteins with sodium acetate and electrophoretic elution at 200 V for 3 h by utilizing a horizontal flat-bed gel electrophoresis apparatus. Standard proteins with molecular masses of 14-66 kilodalton (cytochrome c, aldolase, ovalbumin and bovine serum albumin) were recovered with an average yield of 73.6 +/- 2.3%. A membrane-bound protein, rat skeletal muscle Ca(2+)-ATPase (100 kilodalton) was also well recovered (over 60%). This method was applicable to the purification of proteins required for N-terminal amino acid sequencing and to raise antibodies.

The S-100 protein family constitutes a subgroup of Ca(2+)-binding proteins of the EF-hand type comprising three dimeric isoforms, S-100a0, S-100a and S-100b, plus a number of structurally related proteins displaying 28-55% homology with S-100 subunits. S-100 protein was discovered in 1965; yet, its biological functions have not been fully elucidated. The present report will review the putative biological roles of S-100 protein. Both intracellular and extracellular roles have been proposed for S-100 protein. Within cells, S-100 protein has been reported to regulate protein phosphorylation, ATPase, adenylate cyclase, and aldolase activities and Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release. Also, cytoskeletal systems, namely microtubules and microfilaments have been reported to be regulated by the protein in the presence of Ca2+. Some molecular targets of S-100 protein within cells, have been identified. This is the case with microtubule proteins, caldesmon, and a brain aldolase. S-100 protein has been reported to be secreted; extracellular S-100 protein can stimulate neuronal differentiation, glial proliferation, and prolactin secretion. However, the mechanisms by which S-100 is secreted and stimulates the above processes are largely unknown. Future research should characterize these latter aspects of S-100 biology and find out the linkage between its intracellular effects and its extracellular activities.

A case of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with a partial cytochrome c oxidase deficiency was reported with special reference to electrophysiological studies. A 56-year-old man was readmitted to Himeji Central Hospital due to mental deterioration and character change. At the age of 44 when he was attacked by his first epileptic seizure, he was admitted to Himeji Central Hospital, where EEG abnormalities and cerebral atrophy were found. Anticonvulsants helped to relieve his generalized convulsions but the EEG abnormalities persisted. At age 46, he had the second generalized seizure, so he quit his job as a crane operator. His family began to notice deterioration of his intellectual function and hyperaggressive behavior. His daily activities, intellectual performance and mental condition gradually deteriorated (WAIS FIQ less than 60). Other clinical and laboratory findings are as follows: bilateral impaired hearing, no optic nerve atrophy, no disturbance of extra ocular muscle movements, mild wasting and weakness of his extremities, normal coordination and sensation, no myoclonus or other involuntary movements, normal laboratory data of serum creatinine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase and aldolase, and increased amount of lactate and pyruvate in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), no abnormal amino acids in urine. A biopsy specimen of right biceps brachii muscle revealed numerous ragged-red fibers in frozen sections stained by the Gomori trichrome method. These fibers did not react to a cytochrome c oxidase staining. An ATPase staining demonstrated an atrophy of type-2 fibers. An electron micrograph showed many mitochondria in the sarcoplasm but few paracrystalline inclusions. A biochemical analysis of the muscle biopsy also revealed a significant decrease in the cytochrome c oxidase activity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

A 30-day ingestion of gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane (lindane) by carp (Cyprinus carpio) induced hypoglycemia without activation of two hepatic gluconeogenesis enzymes (fructose diphosphatase, EC 4.1.2.13, and glucose-6-phosphatase, EC 3.1.3.9) and hyponatremia and variations in muscle plasmic membrane-bound enzymes (especially cholinesterases, EC 3.1.1.7). After 109 days carps exhibited a decrease in natremia but no significant hypoglycemia. There was an activation of gluconeogenesis enzymes. Important changes were observed in the activities of muscle plasmic membrane enzymes (especially 5'-nucleotidase, EC 3.1.3.5, and ATPases, EC 3.6.1.3). Lindane, a lipophilic substance, especially disturbed the activity of membrane-bound enzymes enclosed in a phospholipid matrix.

Administration of beta- and gamma-isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) at 800 ppm dietary level for 2 weeks to albino rats produced noticeable hepatocellular damage as indicated by elevations in serum aminotransferases and decreases in hepatic soluble enzymes. Although serum total LDH activity was not altered, the LD5 isoenzyme was proportionately higher in the HCH isomers treated animals. Treatment of rats with beta- and gamma-isomers of HCH increased the hepatic glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and aldolase activities suggesting a higher rate of glucose oxidation. Liver glucose-6-phosphatase activity was decreased in these animals indicating inactivation of gluconeogenesis in liver. Dietary beta- and gamma-HCH decreased the liver mitochondrial DNP/Mg++/Ca++-activated ATPases thus affecting the energy metabolism. An unaltered ratio of DNP/Mg++-ATPase, a study of swelling pattern of hepatic mitochondria, and NAD+ permeability test suggested the maintenance of structural integrity of mitochondrial membrane in these pesticide fed animals. Liver microsomal Na+,K+-ATPases were lower in these animals.

ATPase activity of uterus and ovary was markedly elevated in presence of gossypol and decreased in presence of lactic acid indicating activation and inhibition of energy metabolism by gossypol and lactic acid respectively. The elevated levels of glycogen in uterus indicate inhibition of glycogenolysis as supported by phosphorylase activity. Whereas in ovary the glycogen depletion indicates activation of glycogenolysis supported by phosphorylase activity. The activity levels of aldolase and G-6-PDH decreased in the uterus in presence of gossypol and increased in presence of lactic acid. The same were elevated in ovary indicating the activation of hexose mono and diphosphate pathways. Lactic acid accumulated in presence of both gossypol and lactic acid with a depletion in level of pyruvic acid in both the tissues. This situation in the uterus indicates the condition of anti-implantation in presence of both gossypol and lactic acid. The NAD-LDH activity was inhibited in presence of gossypol and activated in presence of lactic acid in both tissues.

The effect of oral administration of endosulfan (12.5 mg/kg body weight), daily, for 4 days was investigated in female rats of 4 different age groups, i.e., 15, 30, 70, and 365 days old. Maximum hyperglycemia, maximum depletion of liver glycogen and maximum inhibition of brain acetylcholine esterase activity were observed in 365-day-old (adult) animals whereas these changes were found to be negligible in 15-day-old animals. A decrease in the activity of liver aldolase was observed in rats of all age groups but maximum decrease was observed in adult rats. In contrast to these changes, erythrocyte (Na+, K+)-ATPase was maximally inhibited in 15-day-old rats. These studies indicated that the toxic effects of endosulfan are age-dependent.

To evaluate the participation of proteins derived from mitochondrial genes in the adaptive response of skeletal muscle to increased contractile activity, we administered chloramphenicol (CAP; 200-1,000 mg.kg-1.day-1), an inhibitor of translation from mitochondrial ribosomes, to adult rabbits undergoing electrical stimulation of the tibialis anterior muscle of one hind limb. In unmedicated animals, 10 days of electrical stimulation increased maximum velocity (Vmax) of cytochrome oxidase and citrate synthase by 214 +/- 17 and 201 +/- 16% (P less than 0.01). In a dose-dependent manner, CAP abolished activity-induced increases in cytochrome oxidase Vmax, suggesting that augmented mitochondrial protein synthesis is necessary for the adaptive response of enzymes that require protein subunits encoded by mitochondrial genes. However, CAP failed to inhibit activity-induced changes in Vmax of enzymes derived exclusively from nuclear genes (citrate synthase and aldolase). CAP also failed to inhibit activity-induced increases in mRNA transcribed from the nuclear genes encoding beta-F1 ATPase or myoglobin, or from the mitochondrial genes encoding 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, or cytochrome b. These latter findings suggest that mitochondrial translation products do not participate in pretranslational regulation of these nuclear or mitochondrial genes in response to changes in contractile activity of skeletal muscle.

Eleven patients diagnosed and treated for congestive cardiomyopathy (COCM) of unknown aetiology, and another 10 patients, with congestive alcoholic heart muscle disease (ACOCM) were studied. Muscle biopsy samples were obtained from the vastus lateralis (VL) and the gastrocnemius (G) muscles. In part of the sample muscle the fibre pattern was classified by means of ATPase activity staining, a technique based on the pH lability of the fibres concerned. Fibre typing and area measurements were carried out by light microscope. The other part of the sample was used as muscle homogenate of which the Ca2+-activated ATPase activity as well as citrate synthetase (CS) and aldolase activities were measured. No significant difference was found in these enzyme activities between the two groups of patients. The proportion of the slow twitch (ST) fibres in the VL, mainly in the patients with ACOCM, was lower as compared to data for healthy subjects. A similar tendency was revealed for G. In both muscles tested, the area of ST fibres was smaller in the ACOCM group. The fast twitch (FT) fibre area proved to be slightly different in the two groups of subjects tested. Occurrence of degenerative signs in the histological tests was higher in the ACOCM than in the COCM group. It was concluded that differences in the skeletal muscles of patients with ACOCM and COCM may primarily account for the alcoholism. The disease of the heart muscle has little effect on the function of skeletal muscle. Even so, a low amount or lack of physical activity may have an unfavourable influence on the skeletal muscles of patients with heart muscle disease.

Vesiculated fragments of chicken skeletal muscle transverse tubule (TT) membranes were analyzed for their content of loosely associated and integral membrane proteins. Of particular interest was the identification of the magnesium-stimulated ATPase (Mg-ATPase), which is characteristically located in native isolated TT vesicles of chicken skeletal muscle [R. A. Sabbadini and V. R. Okamoto (1983) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 223, 107-119]. A number of the proteins found in vesicular TT preparations were found to be extractable by a mild Triton-X100 treatment and were identified as aldolase, enolase, creatine kinase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, and pyruvate kinase. Approximately 60% of TT-associated protein was extracted with Triton, resulting in a twofold enrichment of the Mg-ATPase. Concommitantly, one core integral membrane protein possessing a Mr of 102,000 was enriched, suggesting that it is responsible for the Mg-ATPase activity present in chicken skeletal muscle TT membranes.
