1. An activator of the (Ca2+ plus Mg2+)-stimulated ATPase present in the human erythrocytes (membrane) has been isolated in soluble form from hemolysates of these cells. Partial purification has been achieved through use of carboxymethyl-Sephadex chromatography. The resulting activator fraction contained no hemoglobin and only 0.3% of the total adenylate kinase activity of the cell. 2. Whereas the activator was released from erythrocytes subjected to hemolysis in 20 miosM buffer at pH 7.6 or at pH 5.8, only the membranes prepared at pH 7.6 were affected by it. 2. Whereas the activator was released from erythrocytes subjected to hemolysis in 20 miosM buffer at pH 7.6 or at pH 5.8, only the membranes prepared at pH 7.6 were affected by it. 3. When (Ca2+ plus Mg2+)-ATPase activity was measured by 32Pi release from (gamma-32P)ATP, freeze-thawed erythrocytes, as well as membranes prepared at pH 5.8 and at pH 7.6, expressed lower values than noted by assay for total Pi release. When ADP instead of ATP was used as substrate, significant amount of Pi were released by these erythrocyte preparations. Further study revealed (a) production of ATP and AMP from ADP with membranes and hemolysate alone, and (b) exchange of the gamma-and B-position phosphate on (gama-32P)ATP in the presence of membranes plus hemolysates. These observations established the presence of adenylate kinase activity in the (membrane-free) hemolysates and in membranes. It further supports the conclusion that Pi release from ADP by human erythrocytes (freeze-thawed) and by their isolated membranes is due to formation of ATP by adenylate kinase and hydrolysis of this generated ATP by (Ca2+ plus Mg2+)-ATPase. 4. The following points were also established: (a) absence of an ADPase in human erythrocytes; (b) the (Ca2+ plus Mg2+)-ATPase activator enhanced cleavage only of the gama-position of ATP and (c) the (Ca2+ plus Mg2+)-ATPase activator is neither adenylate kinase nor hemoglobin.

Structural and functional changes in myosin of fast muscles during early post-natal development were studied to seek correlations with well-known physiological changes in the contraction rate. The findings were as follows: 1. It is known that fetal fast muscle myosin contains three kinds of light chains. It was confirmed that their molecular weights were the same as those of adult fast muscle myosin, but different from those of adult slow muscle myosin. The amount of the smallest light chain, g3, was confirmed to increase markedly during the postnatal period. 2. The ATPase [EC3.6.1.3] activity of fetal fast muscle myosin (-1 day) was found to be about 50% of that of adult myosin. The pH-activity curve of fetal myosin ATPase was confirmed to be similar to that of adult myosin. 3. The rate of formation of the reactive myosin-phosphate-ADP complex, MADPP, was found not to change during post-natal development. 4. It was found that the rate of decomposition of MADPP in the presence of F-actin increased markedly during the post-natal period, and that the rate of decomposition of the complex of fetal mysoin was only 1/6 to 1/4 of that of adult myosin. The change in the actomyosin ATPase activity was found to be closely correlated with the increase in the g3 content during development.

1. The terminal phosphate of (gamma-32P)ATP is rapidly incorporated into cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes (0.7--1.3 mumol/g protein) in the presence of calcium and magnesium. Cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes catalize an ATP-ADP phosphate exchange in the presence of calcium and magnesium. 2. Half-maximum activation of the phosphoprotein formation and ATP-ADP phosphate exchange is reached at an ionized calcium concentration of about 0.3 muM. The Hill coefficients are 1.3. 3. Transphosphorylation and ATP-ADP phosphate exchange require magnesium and are maximally activated at magnesium concentrations close to or equal to the ATP concentration. 4. The phosphoprotein level is reduced to about 45% at an ADP/ATP ratio of 0.1. The rate of calcium-dependent ATP splitting declines, whilst the rate of the calcium-dependent ATP-ADP phosphate exchange increases when the ADP/ATP ratio is varied from 0.1 to 1. The sum of both, the rate of ATP splitting and the rate of ADP-ATP phosphate exchange remains constant. 5. Phosphoprotein formation and ATP-ADP phosphate exchange are not affected by azide, dinitrophenol, dicyclohexyl carbodiimide and oubain, whilst both activities are reduced by blockade of -SH groups localized on the outside of the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane. 6. The isolated phosphoprotein is acid stable. The trichloroacetic acid denatured 32P-labelled membrane complex is dephosphorylated by hydroxylamine, which might indicate that the phosphorylated protein is an acyl-phosphate. 7. Polyacrylamide gel elctrophoresis (performed with phenol/acetic acid/water) of phosphorylated sarcoplasmic reticulum fractions demonstrates that the 32P-incorporation occurs into a protein of about 100000 molecular weight. 8. It is suggested that the phosphoprotein represents a phosphorylated intermediate of the calcium-dependent ATPase which formation occurs as an early step in the reaction sequence of calcium translocation by cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum similar as in skeletal muscle.

Membrane-bound ATPase activities in chloroplasts of Euglena were examined. Ca2+- and Mg2+-dependent activities were relatively high in membrane preparations and could not be further activated by a number of procedures. The enzyme was found to be highly specific for purine nucleotides and was inhibited by the usual inhibitors of photophosphorylation. Km values of Ca2+ and Mg2+ ATPase for ATP were 2.5 and 2.1 mM, respectively. Both activities were competitively inhibited by ADP and inorganic phosphate. A relationship was found between Ca2+- or Mg2+-dependent ATPase activities and chloroplast completeness. The possibilities that these activities result from one enzyme depending on Ca2+ or Mg2+ or from two different enzymes are discussed.

The mechanism of biosynthetic, transferase, ATPase, and transphosphorylation reactions catalyzed by unadenylylated glutamine synthetase from E. coli was studied. Activation complex(es) involved in the biosynthetic reaction are produced in the presence of either Mg2+ or Mn2+ ; however, with the Mn2+-enzyme inhibition by the product, ADP, is so great that the overall forward biosynthetic reaction cannot be detected with the known assay methods. Binding studies show that substrates (except for NH3 and NH2OH which are not reported here) can bind to the enzyme in a random manner and that binding of the ATP-glutamate, ADP-Pi or ADP-arsenate pairs is strongly synergistic. Inhibition and binding studies show that the same binding site is utilized for glutamate and glutamine in biosynthetic and transferase reactions, respectively, and that a common nucleotide binding site is used for all reactions studied. Studies of the reverse biosynthetic reaction and results of fluorescent titration experiments suggest that both arsenate and orthophosphate bind at a site which overlaps the gamma-phosphate site of nucleoside triphosphate. In the reverse biosynthetic and transferase reactions, ATP serves as a substrate for the Mn2+-enzyme but not for the Mg2+-enzyme. The ATP supported transferase activity of Mn2+-enzyme is probably facilitated by the generation of ADP through ATP hydrolysis. When AMP was the only nucleotide substrate added, it was converted to ATP with concomitant formation of two equivalents of glutamate, under the reverse biosynthetic reaction conditions, and no ADP was detected. The reversibility of 180 transfer between orthophosphate and gamma-acyl group of glutamate was confirmed. ATPase activity of Mg2+ and Mn2+ unadenylylated enzymes is about the same. Both enzymes forms catalyze transphosphorylation reactions between various purine nucleoside triphosphates and nucleoside diphosphates under biosynthetic reaction conditions. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that a single active center is utilized for all reactions studied. Two stepwise mecanisms that could explain the results are discussed.

Oxidative phosphorylation in Escherichia coli membrane vesicles with a right-side-out orientation and loaded with ADP was investigated. Substrates of the electron transport chain could energize the phosphorylation of ADP, with the order of effectiveness being D-lactate greater than reduced phenazinemethosulfate greater than succinate greater than reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Inhibitors of D-lactate oxidation, proton conductors, and inhibitor of the Mg2+ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) all inhibited oxidative phosphorylation when coupled to D-lactate oxidation. ATP synthesis was absent in membrane vesicles prepared from a mutant strain lacking the Mg2+ATPase. Valinomycin or nigericin partially inhibited oxidative phosphorylation in the presence of potassium. Valinomycin plus nigericin completely inhibited ATP synthesis. The effect of various agents on the respiration-dependent establishment of a transmembrane pH gradient was also examined. NaCN and carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone inhibited the establishment of a pH gradient while dicyclohexylcarbodiimide had no effect. These results are in good agreement with a chemiosmotic model for oxidative phosphorylation.

Membrane vesicles from Azotobacter vinelandii O prepared by osmotic lysis of spheroplasts in tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane/acetate buffer (pH 7.8) contain a latent adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase). The ATPase can be activated when the vesicles are incubated in the presence of an electron donor (D-lactate) and a mixture of adenosine diphosphate and inorganic phosphate or by controlled treatment with trypsin. After the ATPase is activated, the membrane vesicles in the presence of adenosine triphosphate accumulate calcium but not glucose or rubidium (in the presence of valinomycin). ATP-dependent calcium uptake follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics with a Km of 48 muM and a Vmax of 20 nmol/min/mg of membrane protein and is highly specific for calcium over cations magnesium, barium, lanthanum, sodium, potassium, and lithium. The calcium accumulated in the presence of ATP is freely exchangeable with external calcium and is rapidly released in the presenceof uncouplers or ATPase inhibitors. Calcium uptake in the presenceof ATP is blocked by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, ADP, p-chloromercuriphenylsulfonate, by the proton-conducting ionophores m-chlorophenylcarbonylcyanide hydrazone, nigericin, monensin, and gramicidin D, but not by potassium cyanide, anoxia, or valinomycin (in the presence of potassium). Measurements of the external pH of vesicle suspensions reveal that protons are actively taken up by the membranes during hydrolysis of ATP. These results suggest that vesicles prepared under these conditions have a topology which is inverted with respect to the intact cell and that calcium is accumulated by means of proton antiport.

Preillumination of Rhodospirillum rubrum chromatophores with strong, far-red light in the presence of phenazine methosulfate under non-phosphorylation conditions results in a selective, irreversible inactivation (typically about 70%) of photophosphorylation and of uncoupler-stimulated dark ATPase. The time course of the photoinactivation is similar to the light-on kinetics of the light-induced proton uptake in the absence of ADP. Only little photoinactivation occurs when the uncoupler carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone is present or when phenazine methosulfate is absent during the preillumination, indicating that the reaction occurs only when the membrane is energized. Phosphorylation conditions offer a practically complete protection against the photoinactivation. Inorganic phosphate, Mg2+ or ADP do not provide a significant protection against the photoinactivation, nor does ATP. The pH-dependence of the reaction(s) leading to photoinactivation may indicate that a partial reaction of the photophosphorylation process (perhaps only a conformational change of the coupling factor) precedes the photoinactivation.

2' (or 3')-O-(2,4,6-Trinitrophenyl) adenosine 5'-triphosphate (N3ph-ATP), which contains a Meisenheimer complex moiety, is one of the class of compounds which do not fluoresce in water but fluoresce both in low polarity solvents and when bound to the protein molecule. Fluorescence intensity of N3ph-ATP in the range of 540 nm, when excited at 410 nm, decreased with increasing the solvent polarity accompanying the increment of the wavelength of maximum emission. When bound to heavy meromyosin ATPase, the fluorescence properties of N3ph-ADP were almost the same as those of N3ph-ATP in a low polarity solvent, suggesting that N3ph-ADP was bound to hydrophobic area on heavy meromyosin ATPase.

Some of the characteristics of the pyrophosphatase and ATPase activities studied in isolated cartilage matrix vesicles were found to be similar to those already reported for the solubilized and purified bone alkaline phosphatase. Thus, the pH optimum of the pyrophosphatase activity responded similarly to changes in the concentration of Mg2+, Ca2+, and PPi. Further, the ATPase activity was not activated by Ca2+ in the presence of an optimal Mg2+ concentration. It is proposed that a function of the alkaline phosphatase of matrix vesicles in vivo is to hydrolyze the substrates PPi, ADP, and ATP, which are known inhibitors of calcium phosphate precipitation.
