The F1 ATPase of Bacillus subtilis BD99 was extracted from everted membrane vesicles by low-ionic-strength treatment and purified by DEAE-cellulose chromatography, hydrophobic interaction chromatography, and anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography. The subunit structure of the enzyme was examined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the absence and presence of urea. In the absence of urea, the alpha and beta subunits comigrated and the ATPase was resolved into four bands. The mobility of the beta subunit, identified by immunoblotting with anti-beta from Escherichia coli F1, was altered dramatically by the presence of urea, causing it to migrate more slowly than the alpha subunit. The catalytic activity of the ATPase was strongly metal dependent; in the absence of effectors, the Ca2+-ATPase activity was 15- to 20-fold higher than the Mg2+ -ATPase activity. On the other hand, sulfite anion, methanol, and optimally, octylglucoside stimulated the Mg2+ -ATPase activity up to twice the level of Ca2+ -ATPase activity (specific activity, about 80 mumol of Pi per min per mg of protein). The F1 ATPase was also isolated from mutants of B. subtilis that had been isolated and characterized in this laboratory by their ability to grow in the presence of protonophores. The specific activities of the ATPase preparations from the mutant and the wild type were very similar for both Mg2+- and Ca2+ -dependent activities. Kinetic parameters (Vmax and Km for Mg-ATP) for octylglucoside-stimulated Mg2+ -ATPase activity were similar in both preparations. Structural analysis by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing indicated that the five F1 subunits from ATPase preparations from the mutant and wild-type strains had identical apparent molecular weights and that no charge differences were detectable in the alpha and beta subunits in the two preparations. Thus, the increased ATPase activity that had been observed in the uncoupler-resistant mutants is probably not due to a mutation in the F1 moiety of the ATPase complex.

The H+-ATPase of Beta vacuolar membrane (tonoplast) comprises at least three functionally distinct subunits of Mr = 67,000, 57,000, and 16,000, respectively (Manolson, M. F., Rea, P. A., and Poole, R. J. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 12273-12279). The hydrophobic carboxyl reagent N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) inactivates the enzyme with pseudo-first order kinetics, and the concentration dependence of the reaction indicates that DCCD interacts with a single site on the enzyme to exert its inhibitory effect. The apparent pseudo-first order rate constant (k0) is reciprocally dependent on membrane protein concentration, which is expected if a large fraction of the DCCD partitions into the lipid phase. k0 has a nominal value of 1000 M-1 min-1 at a protein concentration of 250 micrograms/ml, although when phase partitioning is taken into account, the true, protein concentration-independent value of k0 is calculated to be about an order of magnitude lower. [14C]DCCD primarily labels the Mr = 16,000 polypeptide of native tonoplast vesicles. Binding is venturicidin-insensitive and occurs at a rate similar to the rate of enzyme inactivation, implying that inhibition is a direct result of covalent modification of the Mr = 16,000 polypeptide. Labeling of the containing Mr = 8,000 subunit of mitochondrial F0F1-ATPase is, on the other hand, faster by a factor of 5 and totally abolished by venturicidin. These results confirm that the Mr = 16,000 polypeptide which copurifies with tonoplast H+-ATPase activity is a subunit of the enzyme. Most of the DCCD-reactive Mr = 16,000 subunit is extracted from acetone:ethanol-washed tonoplast vesicles by chloroform:methanol. [14C]DCCD bound to the Mr = 16,000 polypeptide is enriched in the chloroform:methanol extract by 5-fold compared with native tonoplast and the specific activity (nmol of [14C]DCCD/mg of protein) can be increased a further 37-fold by chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex. It is concluded that the Mr = 16,000 subunit of the tonoplast H+-ATPase is a proteolipid.

A casein kinase activity, which copurifies with the H+-ATPase activity during isolation of plasma membranes Saccharomyces cerevisiae and during centrifugation of the solubilized membrane extract through a sucrose gradient, is separated from the Mr = 100,000 ATPase catalytic polypeptide by subsequent DEAE-cellulose chromatography. The purified casein kinase activity exhibits a low Km of 12 microM MgATP, is maximally stimulated by 6 mM free Mg2+, and is 50% inhibited by 300 microM Zn2+, by 7.5 micrograms of heparin/ml, and by 300 microM orthovanadate. It phosphorylates only seryl residues. The purified casein kinase contains two polypeptides of Mr = 45,000 and 39,000 which yield antibodies which do not cross-react to each other. The two polypeptides seem to originate from a precursor of Mr = 85,000 which is detected by both antibodies in partly purified fractions. In the absence of casein, a zinc and heparin-sensitive phosphorylation of the ATPase polypeptide is observed in partly purified ATPase fractions, and a peptide of similar mobility is phosphorylated, among others, in isolated plasma membranes. The purified ATPase activity is markedly inhibited by incubation in the presence of acid phosphatase. In agreement with a recent report that the purified active ATPase molecule is largely phosphorylated (Yanagita, Y., Abdel-Ghany, M., Raden, D., Nelson, N., and Racker, E. (1987) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 894, 925-929) this data suggests that dephosphorylation leads to deactivation of ATPase activity.

Kidney cortex microsomes enriched in Golgi markers and probably also containing endosomes were isolated by cell fractionation and found to contain a proton-translocating ATPase that was inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide (NEM). This NEM-sensitive ATPase was solubilized with n-octyl glucoside and purified using anion-exchange sievorptive chromatography on sequential DEAE-Sephadex and QAE-Sephadex columns followed by a final hydroxyapatite HPLC column. The purified enzyme, with a specific activity of 4.4 mumol.mg-1.min-1 was completely inhibited by NEM. Addition of asolectin and removal of the detergent by dialysis resulted in reconstitution of NEM-sensitive electrogenic proton transport. This vacuolar ATPase is composed of five polypeptides with apparent molecular masses of 68, 58, 40, 37, and 16 kDa.

An inhibitor protein of synaptic plasma membrane (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase was purified to apparent homogeneity from rat cerebrum by a molecular weight cut followed by chromatography of cytosol proteins with molecular weights between 10 000 and 3500 on DEAE-Sephadex at pH 5.2. The inhibitor could be partially inactivated by proteinases and dithiothreitol, but was heat-stable. Gel filtration gave a molecular weight of about 6000. Like the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase inhibitor protein isolated from erythrocytes, the inhibitor from brain contains a characteristic high proportion of glutamic acid (36%) and glycine (37%) residues. Synaptic plasma membrane Mg2+-ATPase and microsomal membrane (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase did not respond to the inhibitor. Synaptic plasma membrane and erythrocyte membrane (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPases, however, were affected. Inhibitory influence on synaptic membrane (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase was reversible, since inhibition could be relieved upon removal of inhibitor from saturable sites on the membrane. The inhibitor is not a calmodulin-binding protein, since the concentration of calmodulin for half-maximal activation of the ATPase was unaffected by its presence. Mode of inhibition of the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase by the inhibitor was non-competitive.

C-protein, a component of the thick filaments of striated muscles, is reversibly phosphorylated and dephosphorylated in heart. It has been hypothesized that C-protein may be involved in regulating contraction, because the extent of C-protein phosphorylation correlates with the rate of cardiac relaxation. To test this hypothesis, the effects of phosphorylated and unphosphorylated C-protein on the actin-activated ATPase activity of myosin filaments prepared from DEAE-Sephadex-purified myosin were examined. Unphosphorylated C-protein (0.1 microM to 1.5 microM) stimulated actin-activated myosin ATPase activity in a dose-dependent manner. With a myosin: C-protein molar ratio of approximately 1, actin-activated myosin ATPase activity was elevated up to 3.2 times that of the control. Phosphorylated C-protein (2.5 mol PO4/mol C-protein) stimulated the activity somewhat less (2.5 times that of control). The stimulation of ATPase activity by C-protein was due to an increase in the Vmax value (from 0.25/second to 0.62/second) and a decrease in the Km value (from 11.9 microM to 6.7 microM). The addition of C-protein to actomyosin solutions produced an increase in the light-scattering of the actomyosin solution and a distinct precipitation of the actomyosin with time. Phosphorylated C-protein had a smaller effect on light-scattering than dephosphorylated C-protein. C-protein had a negligible effect on Ca-ATPase, EDTA-K-ATPase, or Mg-ATPase activities in the absence of actin. C-protein had only small effects on the actin-activated ATPase of heavy meromyosin. These results suggest that C-protein stimulates actin-activated myosin ATPase activity by enhancing the formation of stable aggregates between actin and myosin filaments.

Myosin was purified rapidly from the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans by an improved method. Crude actomyosin was extracted from the worms at low ionic strength. Paramyosin was removed by repeating the precipitation of myosin filaments in the presence of Mg2+ and the dissolution of them in 0.6 M NaCl. Actin was removed by ultracentrifugation in the presence of Mg-ATP and finally by column chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. This method gave a good yield of myosin (20-30 mg from 50 g wet weight of worms), and its EDTA(K+)-ATPase activity was about 3-fold higher than that of myosin prepared by the method of Harris and Epstein (1979). ATP hydrolysis by nematode myosin showed an initial Pi-burst due to formation of the myosin-phosphate-ADP complex. Tryptophan fluorescence of myosin was enhanced about 8% by ATP. The relationship between the structure and function of myosin is discussed based on the above results and the amino acid sequences of myosins from rabbit skeletal muscle and Caenorhabditis elegans.

The crude actomyosin precipitate from sea urchin (Arbacia punctulata) egg extracts contains Ca2+-sensitive myosin light chain kinase activity. Activity can be further increased by exogenous calmodulin (CaM). Egg myosin light chain kinase activity is purified from total egg extract by fractionating on three different chromatographic columns: DEAE ion exchange, gel filtration on Sephacryl-300, and Affi-Gel-CaM affinity. The purified egg kinase depends totally on Ca2+ and CaM for activity. Unphosphorylated egg myosin has very little actin-activated ATPase. After phosphorylation of the phosphorylable light chain by either egg kinase or gizzard myosin light chain kinase, the actin-activated ATPase of egg myosin is enhanced several fold. However, the egg kinase bears some unique characteristics which are very different from conventional myosin light chain kinases of differentiated tissues. The purified egg kinase has a native molecular mass of 405 kDa, while on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide electrophoresis it shows a single subunit of 56 kDa. The affinity of egg kinase for CaM (Ka = 0.4 microM) is relatively weaker than that of the gizzard myosin light chain kinase. The egg kinase autophosphorylates in the presence of Ca2+ and CaM and has a rather broad substrate specificity. The possible relationship between this egg Ca2+-CaM-dependent kinase and the Ca2+-CaM-dependent kinases from brain and liver is discussed.

Membrane-bound ATPase was found in membranes of the archaebacterium Methanosarcina barkeri. The ATPase activity required divalent cations, Mg2+ or Mn2+, and maximum activity was obtained at pH 5.2. The activity was specifically stimulated by HSO3- with a shift of optimal pH to 5.8, and N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide inhibited ATP hydrolysis. The enzyme could be solubilized from membranes by incubation in 1 mM Tris-maleate buffer (pH 6.9) containing 0.5 mM EDTA. The solubilized ATPase was purified by DEAE-Sepharose and Sephacryl S-300 chromatography. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 420,000 by gel filtration through Sephacryl S-300. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate revealed two classes of subunit, Mr 62,000 (alpha) and 49,000 (beta) associated in the molar ratio 1:1. These results suggest that the ATPase of M. barkeri is similar to the F0F1 type ATPase found in many eubacteria.

An altered form of the elongation factor 3 (EF-3) has been purified to near homogeneity from a thermolabile yeast mutant ts 13-06. The isolation procedure involved chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex, CM-Sepharose, and hydroxylapatite columns. The final purification of this protein was obtained by affinity chromatography on an ATP-Sepharose column. Because of the extreme lability of the mutant protein, the yield was very poor. Silver stain analysis of the sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoretograms indicated that the affinity-purified protein was better than 90% pure. From the studies of the physical and biochemical properties, the following characteristics of the purified wild type and the mutant protein have been established. The two proteins were indistinguishable by their molecular weight, amino acid composition, and isoelectric point. Purified mutant EF-3 was rapidly inactivated between 37 and 39 degrees C. Under this condition, wild type EF-3 was completely stable. Ribosome-dependent GTPase and ATPase activities of the mutant EF-3 were heat sensitive; GTPase activity was more labile than the ATPase activity. Mutant EF-3, after exposure to a nonpermissive temperature, failed to stimulate binding of the ternary complex of EF-1 X GTP X aminoacyl-tRNA to ribosome. The wild type protein was fully active under this condition. Other biochemical and physical properties of these two proteins are under current investigation.
