A mitochondria-free membrane fraction prepared from rat myometrium accumulated 45Ca2+ in the presence of oxalic acid and ATP. The rate of transport of Ca2+ into the membranous vesicles was increased by greater than 50% in the presence of 3',5'-cyclic AMP, but not by 2',3'-cyclic AMP or 5'AMP. Membrane ATPase activity was stimulated by Mg2+; slight additional stimulation was obtained in the presence of Na+ and K+ but not in the presence of Ca+2. Despite the cyclic AMP sensitivity of membrane ATPase activity, the absence of any effect of inhibitors of Ca2+-transport suggest it has little to do with Ca2+ accumulation by the membranes. Cyclic AMP-induced increase in Ca2+-transport and membrane ATPase activity was duplicated in vivo by incubating uteri in 10(-4)M isoproterenol prior to membrane isolation. Isoproterenol has been previously shown to increase myometrial cyclic AMP levels, and changes in Ca2+-transport by cell membranes in relation to intracellular cyclic AMP levels may be the mechanism through which hormones modulate uterine contractility.

The effects of hormonal status on protein kinase activity was examined in homogenates of rat liver. Protein kinase activity was evaluated from incorporation of 32P from [gamma-32P]ATP into protamine or histone as receptor substrates. Protamine phosphorylation in the presence or absence of cyclic AMP exceeded histone phosphorylation by at least a factor or two. Hypophysectomy markedly increased protamine phosphorylation in the presence or absence of saturating amounts of cyclic AMP. In contrast, hypophysectomy only slightly increased cyclic AMP independent phosphorylation of histone. These results could not be amounted for by differences in ATPase or protein phosphase activities. Cortisone (2 mg/day x 3) decreased total protein kinase activity in livers of hypophysectomized rats when protamine was substrate, but had no effect on the total activity toward histone. Growth hormone (100 mug/day x 3) significantly increased histone, but not protamine phosphorylation in livers of hypophysectomized rats. Administration of 5 mug of triiodothyonine/day to hypophysectomized rats also markedly increased the phosphorylation of histone, but not protamine when saturating amounts of cyclic AMP were present. These results support the hypothesis that liver may contain more than one type of protein kinase activity and that the different protein kinase activities can be separately affected by hormones. Such control distal to cyclic AMP might allow selective modulation of cyclic AMP-dependent processes in cells which carry out more than one such process.

Mutant cell lines have been selected from the murine plasmocytoma MOPC 173 for their resistance to ouabain, dibutyryl cyclic AMP, theophyllin and concanavalin A. We have compared three wild-type cell lines with their seven resistant counterparts. All resistant mutants exhibited a (Na+ + K+)-stimulated Mg2+-ATPase resistance to ouabain inhibition when measured in microsomes. The homogeneity of ouabain binding sites has been found in most of the cell lines; however, two different populations of sites have been detected in one wild-type and in one resistant cell lines. These results led us to hypothetise the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase-ouabain interaction being modulated by a non-specific membrane structure.

The Na+/K+ ATPase activity of membrane fractions prepared from brown adipose tissue of cold-acclimated rats could be stimulated by addition of any one of the following: norepinephrine, isoproterenol, cyclic AMP or phenylephrine. These results are consistent with the proposal that in the intact brown adipocyte, the norepinephrine-induced stimulation of the Na+/K+ membrane pump is associated with alpha- as well as beta-adrenergic pathways and is, in part, mediated via cyclic AMP.

1. Catecholamines can nearly double (Na+ + K+)-ATPase acts effect is not mediated by cyclic AMP and is not beta-adrenergic. 3. Orthodihydroxybenzene compounds and their orthoquinone derivatives enhance (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity. 4. Enhancement of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity by catechols is not due to increased availability of ATP. 5. It is suggested that catechols and their orthoquinones somehow alter or protect the configuration of the enzyme so that it becomes more active or so protect the configuration of the enzyme so that it becomes more active or so that its activity is maintained under conditions in which its activity is otherwise diminished.

The main role in determination of the pharmacologic effects of the imipramine groups antidepressants is given to their influence on neurotransmitters metabolism in synapses, the activity of enzymic systems regulating the transport of ions, as well as on the system of cyclic AMP metabolism. Interaction of tricyclic antidepressants with membrane and, as the result, distrubance in reuptake of transmitters (epinephrine and 5-hydroxytryptamine) in neurons is supposed to be one of the mechanisms of synaptic transmission regulation. The possible role in inhibition of biological amines deamination, in particular of phenylethylamine, in antidepressive effect of tricyclic antidepressants is discussed. It is supposed that the thymoanaleptic effects of the imipramine group antidepressants are due to activation of central serotoninergic processes, and their psychoanaleptic effect due to activation of the adrenergic system. Inhibition of the Na+, K+-ATPase activity quilizing effect of tricyclic antidepressants.

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.

The events involved in platelet shape change, aggregation, the release reaction and contraction are thought to be mediated by the availability of Ca2+. Increased cytoplasmic calcium, released from intracellular stores, triggers platelet activity, and increased concentration of adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP) inhibits platelet alterations. We have studied the hypothesis that cyclic AMP may regulate the level of platelet cytoplasmic calcium by stimulating calcium removal by a membrane system. Such a hypothesis would be consistent with the reversibility of most manifestations of platelet activation. Human platelets were sonicated and unlysed platelets, mitochondria and granules were removed by centrifugation at 19 000 X g. Electron microscopy shows that the sediment, after centrifugation of the supernatant at 40 000 X g consists to a large extent of membrane vesicles. Such preparations actively concentrate calcium, as measured by the uptake of 45Ca, and also have the maximal calcium-stimulated ATPase activity. Optimal calcium uptake requires ATP and oxalate, and release of calcium from loaded vesicles was stimulated by the calcium ionophore A23187 and inhibited by LaCl3. These data indicate that calcium was being actively concentrated within membrane vesicles. After washing of such preparations in the absence of ATP, their capacity to take up Ca2+ is reduced to an initial value of 2.8 nmol/mg protein per min. In the presence of 2 - 10(6) M cyclic AMP to which was added a protein kinase preparation from human platelets, up to a 3-fold increase of this rate of uptake was observed. These results suggest that in platelets, as in muscle, cyclic AMP is a regulatory factor in the control of cytoplasmic calcium. Although the cyclic nucleotide may have still other functions, it appears likely that the well-known inhibition of many platelet activities by high intracellular cyclic AMP concentrations is directly linked to the stimulation of the removal of Ca2+ from the cytoplasm.

Ca2+ uptake and binding and Ca2+-ATPase activity of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were compared to that obtained from normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. Ca2+ uptake (172 +/- 3.7 nmol/mg of protein per min in WKY vs. 112 +/- 2.6 in the SHR, P less than 0.001) and binding (154 +/- 3.0 nmol/mg per min in WKY vs. 101 +/- 1.8 in the SHR, P less than 0.01) were decreased in the SHR. Ca2+-ATPase activity, however, was significantly higher in the SHR (118 +/- 3.1 nmol of P per mg of protein per min vs. 86 +/- 1.1 in the WKY, P less than 0.001), suggesting "uncoupling" of the ATPase to calcium transport. Cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation of SR was significantly decreased in SHR (0.71 +/- 0.05 vs 0.32 +/- 0.07 nmol of P/mg of protein per 10 min, P less than 0.001) and there was an excellent correlation between cyclic AMP-induced phosphorylation of SR and Ca2+ uptake (r = 0.81). Differences in both cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation and Ca2+ uptake between the two groups were evident at 10 weeks and increased progressively to 22 weeks of age. Differences in endogenous cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity may partly explain the decreased Ca2+ transport in SHR.

The ratio of adenylic nucleotides, activity of adenylatekinase and ATPase were studied in the liver subcellular fractions and in tumours of rats with cancerogenesis induced by diethylnitrozamine and p-dimethylaminoazobenzene. The adenylatekinase activity increases in the liver hyaloplasm of rats with tumours and in the tissue of the tumours themselves, the activity of ATPase is unchanged. An increase in the adenylatekinase activity in hyaloplasm is accompanied by a decrease in the level of ATP with the absence of changes in ADP and AMP, that results in a drop "of the adenylate energy charge" value (Atkinson reflecting the balance of adenyl nucleotides in a cell.
