The characterization and localization of a Ca(2+)-ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) in the tooth germ of the porcine fetus are reported. This enzyme, a microsome fraction, is preferentially activated by Ca(2+). In the presence of 0.5 mM ATP, maximal enzyme activity is obtained at 0.5--1.0 mM CaCl2. The maximal rate of ATP hydrolysis is approx. 20 mumol per h per mg of protein as the enzyme preparation is used here. At optimal Ca(2+) concentration, the Mg(2+) has an inhibitory effect. The enzyme does not require Na+ or/and K+ for activation by Ca(2+). Other nucleotide triphosphates may serve as the substrate, but V for ATP is the highest. The Km for ATP is 8.85 - 10(-5) M. The optimal pH for Ca(2+) activation of the enzyme lies around 9.2. Well known inhibitors of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase, mitochondria ATPase and Ca(2+)-ATPase in the erthrocyte do not inhibit the enzyme. In the subcellular order the enzyme may be assumed to be localized in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum fraction containing cell and Golgi body membrane fragments and in the tissue order in the enamel organ containing an ameloblast layer, stratum intermedium and stellate reticulum.

The pH-activity curve of heavy meromyosin ATPase [EC 3.6.1.3] was measured at various temperatures. The pH-activity curve at higher temperatures showed a maximum at low pH and a minimum at pH 7 to 8 as has been already reported. At lower temperatures it was sigmoidal in shape, similar to a simple dissociation curve of pKa 6 to 7. The pH-activity curve at intermediate temperatures appeared to be inbetween the two extreme shapes. These changes in pH-activity curve with temperature were found to be common in the presence of divalent cations such as Mg2+, Mn2+, and Ca2+. The ATPase mechanism may be identical in the presence of any divalent cation, and the rate determining step revealing the steady state rate alters by changing the temperature. The transition temperatures estimated at pH 8 were 10 degrees, 8 degrees, and about 5 degrees in the presence of MnCl2, CaCl2, and MgCl2, respectively. The difference in the temperature coefficients above and below the transition temperature was most distinct in the presence of MnCl2, and vague in the presence of CaCl2. A similar change of pH-activity curve with temperature was found with heavy meromyosin ITPase in the presence of MgCl2.

The ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) activity of 30 S dynein from Tetrahymena cilia was remarkably stimulated by porcine brain tubulin at pH 10. The activity increased with increasing concentration of tubulin until the molar ratio of tubulin dimer to 30 S dynein reached approx. 10. The optimum of the ATPase activity of 30 S dynein in the presence of tubulin was 1-2 mM for MgCl2 and 2 mM for CaCl2. Increasing ionic strength gradually inhibited the stimulation effects of tubulin. Activation energies of 30 S dynein in the presence and absence of tubulin were almost the same. At the temperatures beyond 25 degrees C stimulation effects of tubulin disappeared. ATP was a specific substrate even in the presence of tubulin. In kinetic investigations parallel reciprocal plots were observed in a constant ratio of divalent cations to ATP of 2, indicating that tubulin was less tightly bound to 30 S dynein in the presence of ATP than the absence. The similar results were obtained at pH 8.2. 14 S dynein and the 12 S fragment which have poor ability to recombine with outer fibers were also activated with brain tubulin.

1. ATPase isolated from Rhodospirillum rubrum by chloroform extraction and purified by gel filtration or affinity chromatography shows three bands (alpha, beta and gamma) upon electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulphate. 2. Ca2+-ATPase activity of the preparation is inhibited by aurovertin and efrapeptin but not by oligomycin. Activity may be inhibited by treatment with 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan and subsequently restored by dithiothreitol. 3. The enzyme fails to reconstitute photophosphorylation in chromatophores depleted of ATPase by sonic irradiation. 4. Most of the active protein from the crude chloroform extract binds to an affinity chromatography column bearing an immobilised ADP analogue but not to a column bearing immobilised pyrophosphate. 5. In the absence of divalent cations, a component with a very high specific activity for Ca2+-ATPase is eluted from the column by 1.6 mM ATP. This protein migrates asa single band on 5% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and only possesses three subunits. At 12 mM ATP an inactive protein is eluted which does not run on acid or alkali polyacrylamide gels and shows a complex subunit structure. 6. ATPase preparations prepared by acetone extraction or by sonic irradiation of chromatophores may also be purified 10-fold by affinity chromatography. 7. The inclusion of 5 mM MgCl2 or CaCl2 during affinity chromatography of chloroform ATPase increases the capacity of the column for the enzyme and demands a higher eluting concentration of ATP. 8. When the enzyme is more than 90% inhibited by efrapeptin or 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan, the binding characteristics of the enzyme are not affected. 9. 10 mM Na2SO3, which greatly stimulates the Ca2+- and Mg2+-dependent ATPase activity of the enzyme and increases Ki (ADP) for Ca2+-ATPase from 50 to 850 micron, prevents binding to the affinity column. Binding may be restored by the addition of divalent cations. 10. Na2SO3 increases the rate of ATP hydrolysis, ATP-driven H+ translocation and ATP-driven transhydrogenase in chromatophores. 11. It is proposed that anions such as sulphite convert the chromatophore ATPase into a form which is a more efficient energy transducer.

Rabbit cardiac myosin, isolated from frozen tissue, was effectively purified by batchwise treatment with DEAE-cellulose in addition to suing cilution-precipitation techniques. An extensive experimental program was subsequently carried out with respect to the enzymic amino acid, optical and physicochemical properties of native cardiac myosin. This program has included the following: examination of the effects of pH and varying concentrations of ATP, CaCl2, MgCl2, and PCMB on its ATPase activity; measurement of its circular dichroic spectrum in solvent buffers, at different pH or containing ATP in the absence or presence of Ca-2+ or Mg-2+ ions; study of the concentration dependence of its viscosity and sedimentation velocity at low temperatures; and investigation of its molecular weight by the Archibald method and low- and high-speed sedimentation equilibrium. The results of these studies were consistent with the interpretation that cardiac myosin is comprised of highly asymmetric, semi-rigid molecules with a molecular weight in the order of 4.7 times 10-5, which display non-ideality even in solvent buffers of high ionic strength at neurtal pH. In addition, computer analysis of the high-speed sedimentation equilibrium data has provided evidence for the presence of a self-association reaction at low protein concentration. Even though the specif ATPase activity of cardiac myosin was found to be approximately one-third that reported for skeletal myosin in all cases, it was concluded, on the the basis of the essentially analogous physical and chemical properties of rabbit cardiac and skeletal myosin, that the two proteins are very similar in terms of molecular size, shape, and secondary structure.

1. ATP-dependent calcium uptake by a rabbit brain vesicular fraction (microsomes) was studied in the presence of phosphate or oxalate. These anions, which are known to form insoluble calcium salts, increased the rate of calcium uptake and the capacity of the vesicles for calcium accumulation. 2. The degree of activation depended on the concentration of phosphate or oxalate. Under optimal conditions, phosphate promoted a 5-fold increase in the amount of calcium stored at steady state. This level was 200-250 nmol Ca-2+/mg protein. 3. Initial rate of calcium uptake followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics with an apparent Km for calcium of 6.7-10-minus 5 M and a V of 44 nmol/min per mg protein. Optimal pH was 7.0. With 2 mM ATP, optimal Mg-2+ concentration was 2 mM. 4. Dintrophenol and NaN3 inhibited calcium uptake in a mitochondria-enriched fraction but not in the microsomal fraction. 5. Calcium uptake activity was compared in the six subfractions prepared from the whole microsomal fraction by means of a sucrose density gradient fractionation. 6. The Mg-2+-dependent ATPase activity of brain microsomes was activated by calcium. Maximal activation was attained with 100 muM CaCl2. Greater calcium concentrations caused a progressive inhibition. 7. The data suggest that the ATP-dependent calcium uptake in brain microsomes, as in muscle microsomes, is brought about by an active transport process, calcium being accumulated as a free ion inside the vesicles.

Actin, myosin, and a high molecular weight actin-binding protein were extracted from rabbit alveolar macrophages with low ionic strength sucrose solutions containing ATP, EDTA, and dithiothreitol, pH 7.0. Addition of KCl, 75 to 100 mM, to sucrose extracts of macrophages stirred at 25 degrees caused actin to polymerize and bind to a protein of high molecualr weight. The complex precipitated and sedimented at low centrifugal forces. Macrophage actin was dissociated from the binding protein with 0.6 M KCl, and purified by repetitive depolymerization and polymerization. Purified macrophage actin migrated as a polypeptide of molecular weight 45,000 on polyacrylamide gels with dodecyl sulfate, formed extended filaments in 0.1 M KCl, bound rabbit skeletal muscle myosin in the absence of Mg-2+ATP and activated its Mg-2+ATPase activity. Macrophage myosin was bound to actin remaining in the macrophage extracts after removal of the actin precipitated with the high molecular weight protein by KCl. The myosin-actin complex and other proteins were collected by ultracentrifugation. Macrophage myosin was purified from this complex or from a 20 to 50% saturated ammonium sulfate fraction of macrophage extracts by gel filtration on agarose columns in 0.6 M Kl and 0.6 M Kl solutions. Purified macrophage myosin had high specific K-+- and EDTA- and K-+- and Ca-2+ATPase activities and low specific Mg-2+ATPase activity. It had subunits of 200,000, 20,000, and 15,000 molecular weight, and formed bipolar filaments in 0.1 M KCl, both in the presence and absence of divalent cations. The high molecular weight protein that precipitated with actin in the sucrose extracts of macrophages was purified by gel filtration in 0.6 M Kl-0.6 M KCl solutions. It was designated a macrophage actin-binding protein, because of its association with actin at physiological pH and ionic strength. On polyacrylamide gels in dodecyl sulfate, the purified high molecular weight protein contained one band which co-migrated with the lighter polypeptide (molecular weight 220,000) of the doublet comprising purified rabbit erythrocyte spectrin. The macrophage protein, like rabbit erythrocyte spectrin, was soluble in 2 mM EDTA and 80% ethanol as well as in 0.6 M KCl solutions, and precipitated in 2 mM CaCl2 or 0.075 to 0.1 M KCl solutions. The macrophage actin-binding protein and rabbit erythrocyte spectrin eluted from agarose columns with a KAV of 0.24 and in the excluded volumes. The protein did not form filaments in 0.1 M KCl and had no detectable ATPase activity under the conditions tested.

The activation of ATP reversible Pi exchange, normally associated with a Ca2+ concentration gradient in sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles, can be obtained in "leaky" vesicles in 4-10 mM CaCl2. In the micromolar range, Ag+ activates the ATP reversible Pi exchange two- to fourfold. Similar concentrations of Ag+ promote a parallel inhibition of Ca2+- activated ATP hydrolysis and Ca2+ uptake in intact vesicles. Maximal inhibition of these activities by Ag+ leaves the Mg2+-dependent ATPase unaffected. No net synthesis of ATP was demonstrated in leaky vesicles. The effects of Ag+ depends on the protein concentration and persist after removal of Ag+ from the medium. Membrane phosphorylation from Pi or from ATP is respectively activated or inhibited by Ag+ in reciprocal fashion.

Using a rapid method of preparation, spectrin has been isolated from human erythrocytes and its ATPase activity investigated. The ATPase activity with calcium has two distinct components, one with optimal activity when calcium and ATP are of equal concentration (low-Ca-ATPase) and another which is activated above 1 mM CaCl2 and is maximal at 100 mM CaCl2. There is also a Mg-ATPase with maximal activity at 10 mM MgCl2. The high-Ca-ATPase of spectrin, but not the low-Ca-ATPase, is inhibited by magnesium, while the Mg-ATPase is inhibited by Ca in excess of ATP. None of these activities exhibits the calcium-stimulated magnesium-dependent activity characteristic of the red cell calcium pump.

"Substrate inhibition", which has been described earlier for myosin Ca-ATPase in low ionic strength KCl solution [1], is found to take place also at high KCl concentration and under partial modification of enzyme thiol groups with p-CMB. "Substrate inhibition" disappeared when increasing Ca2+ concentration up to 25-40 mM. These kinetic properties are characteristic for fresh isolated enzyme and myosin preparations stored in 0.5 M KCl. They may change under storage of enzyme preparations at higher KCl concentrations: no "substrate inhibition" is observed after 6-8-day storage of myosin preparations in 3 M KCl at the presence of 4-5 mM CaCl2. The data on optical rotation dispersion and analytical ultracentrifugation have shown that the storage of myosin in 3 M KCl is accompanied by structural changes of the protein.
