Two types of canine cardiac myosins, from the free wall of the left ventricle and from the free wall of the right ventricle, were compared with canine skeletal muscle myosin from gastrocnemius. For K+ -activated myosin the Vmax values in mumoles of Pi/mg.min were: right ventricle, 0.57 +/- 0.02; left ventricle, 0.72 +/- 0.09; gastrocnemius, 0.92 +/- 0.04. For Ca++ -activated myosin the Vmax values were: right ventricle, 0.32 +/- 0.04; left ventricle, 0.42 +/- 0.03; gastrocnemius, 0.52 +/- 0.02; (p greater than 0.01 for all defferences). For all three types of tissues the Vmax values for NH4+ -activated myosin were the same (2.30 +/- 0.11). Corresponding to kinetic changes there were significant changes in the proportion and type of myosin subunits. In the two cardiac ventricles where heavy chains were immunologically identical, 81% of the total nitrogen of right ventricular myosin was present in the heavy chains whereas in left ventricular myosin 90% of the total nitrogen of myosin was present in the heavy chains. Quantifications were made on polyacrylamide gels were dye binding was directly related to nitrogen concentration for each of the myosin chains. In canine skeletal muscle gastrocnemius where the myosin heavy chains were immunologically nonidentical with those of cardiac myosin, 87% of the total nitrogen was present in the heavy chains. The data suggest that there are 2 moles of myosin light chains per mole of myosin heavy chains in right ventricular myosin where the adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity is low and 1 mole of myosin light chains per mole of myosin heavy chains in left ventricula myosin where ATPase activity is elevated; for skeletal muscle myosin there were 1.5 moles of myosin light chains per mole of myosin heavy chains. Proportion of myosin light chain C1 to light chain C2 was the same in both left and right ventricular myosin. In skeletal muscle myosin the proportion of light chain C1 to light chain C2 was significantly different from that of cardiac tissue. It appears that the proportion of myosin light chain C1 to light chain C2 is directly related to the type of myosin heavy chain present since the immunologically identical heavy chains of cardiac tissue were immunologically nonidentical with those of skeletal muscle myosin.

A protein fraction from the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum confers Ca2+-sensitivity on the activation of purified myosin adenosinetriphosphatase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) from Dictyostelium by purified Dictyostelium actin. That is, the fraction inhibits the actomyosin adenosine triphosphatase activity in the absence of Ca+ but not in the presence of Ca2+. This Ca2+-sensitizing factor affects only the actin-activated myosin adenosine triphosphatase and not the enzyme activity of myosin alone. The Ca2+-sensitivity is conserved when muscle actin replaces Dictyostelium actin, but is lost when muscle myosin replaces Dictyostelium myosin. The factor appears to be a protein since it is nondialyzable, is heat labile, and can be precipitated with ammonium sulfate. The factor can be purified 70-fold on an actin-affinity column.

An ATPase which strikingly differed from the mitochondrial ATPases of yeast and of animal tissues was obtained when wheat seedling mitochondria, or electron transport particles derived from them, were subjected to ultrasonication and treated with ammonium sulphate. The enzyme which was purified by chromatography on Sephadex G-100 and DEAE-Sephadex (A50) failed to be inactivated as low as 43 000. The enzyme preparation was capable of hydrolysing ADP, in addition to ATP, and several other nucleoside diphosphates and triphosphates. In contrast to the ATPase of animal mitochondria, the activity of the wheat enzyme was almost as insensitive to oligomycin in intact mitochondria as it was after isolation from the organelles.

The rates of calcium transport and Ca2+-dependent ATP hydrolysis by rabbit skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum were stimulated by monovalent cations. The rate of decomposition of phosphoprotein intermediate of the Ca2+-dependent ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum was also increased by these ions to an extent that is sufficient to account for the stimulation of calcium transport and Ca2+-dependent ATPase activity. The order of effectiveness of monovalent cations tested at saturating concentrations in increasing rate of phosphoprotein decomposition is: K+, Na+ greater than Rb+, NH4+ greater than Cs+ greater than Li+, choline+, Tris+.

Soluble mitochondrial ATPase (F1) from beef heart prepared in this laboratory contained approximately 1.8 mol of ADP and 0 mol of ATP/mol of F1 which were not removed by repeated precipitation of the enzyme with ammonium sulfate solution or by gel filtration in low ionic strength buffer containing EDTA. This enzyme had full coupling activity. Treatment of the enzyme with trypsin (5 mug/mg of F1 for 3 min) reduced the "tightly bound" ADP to zero, abolished coupling activity, but had no effect on the ATPase activity, stability, or membrane-binding capability of the F1. When the trypsin concentration was varied between 0 and 5 mug/mg of F1, tightly bound ADP was removed to varying degrees, and a correlation was seen between amount of residual tightly bound ADP and residual coupling activity. Gel filtration of the native F1 in high ionic strength buffer containing EDTA also caused complete loss of tightly bound ADP and coupling ability, whereas ATPase activity, stability, and membrane-binding capability were retained. The ADP-depleted F1 preparations were unable to rebind normal amounts of ADP or any ATP in simple reloading experiments. The results strongly suggest that tightly bound ADP is required for ATP synthesis and for energy-coupled ATP hydrolysis on F1. The results also suggest that ATP synthesis and energy-linked ATP hydrolysis rather than involving one nucleotide binding site on F1, involve a series or "cluster" of sites. The ATP hydrolysis site may represent one component of this cluster. The results show that nonenergy-coupled ATP hydrolysis on F1 can occur in the absence of tightly bound ADP or ATP.

Filamin, a major high-molecular-weight protein of chicken gizzard smooth muscle, was purified to homogeneity by salt extraction, ammonium sulfate precipitation, agarose gel filtration, and diethylaminoethylcellulose ion-exchange chromatography. Purified filamin is an asymmetric oligomer consisting of two large subunits of identical size (2 X 250 000 daltons) as indicated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, chemical cross-linking, sedimentation analysis (s10, wo = 10S) and Stokes'radius estimation (a = 120 A), It has no intersubunit disulfide but appears from oxidation studies to have adjacent thiols near the subunit interface. Filamin contains no amino sugars, methylated lysine, methylated histidine, or hydroxyproline, nor does it exhibit myosin-like ATPase activities. Its amino acid composition and physical properties differ from those of gizzard myosin, for which a pruification procedure is described. Filamin and the protein spectrin of erythrocyte membranes have strikingly similar physical properties, but they are chemically distinct.

The apparent affinity constants for the binding of Cs+, Rb+, K+, Li+, Tl+ and NH4+ to (Na+ + K+)-dependent adenosine triphosphatase from teleost gills were measured and the values discussed in terms of the ion-selectivity isotherm described by Eisenman & Krasne (1975) [in MTP International Review of Science: Biochemistry Series One (Fox, C.F., ed.), vol. 2, pp. 27--59, Butterworths University Park Press, Baltimore]. The ion selectivity of the present enzyme is remarkably similar to that from nerve and brain.

For anaerobic glucose-limited chemostat cultures of Escherichia coli a value of 8.5 was found for YmaxATP. For anaerobic glucose- or ammoniumlimited chemostat cultures of the ATPase-negative mutant M2-6 of E. coli YmaxATP values of 17.6 and 20.0 were found, respectively. From these data it can be concluded that in the wild type during anaerobic growth 51-58% of the total ATP production is used for energetization of the membrane. Using the YATP values obtained in the anaerobic experiments a P/O ratio of 1.46 could be calculated for aerobic experiments with the wild type. It is concluded that from the energy obtained by respiration in wild type E. coli about 60% is used for membrane energetization and only about 40% for the actual formation of ATP. No dramatic difference in the maintenance requirement for ATP or glucose has been observed between glucose- and ammonium-limited chemostat cultures of the mutant. The large difference in maintenance requirement observed for such cultures of the wild type is therefore supposed to be made possible by ATP hydrolysis by the ATPase.

A method is described for isolation of purified myosin from human sceletal muscles. One isoenzyme of myosin, salting out at 35-45% saturation of ammonium sulfate, was found in aqueous extracts of human muscles. Preparations of myosin, obtained by the method described, possessed the following properties: the ratio of extinctions at 280 and 260 nm 1.5-1.6; the Ca2+-activated ATPase activity--0.15-0.26 mM of phosphorus/mg of protein/min. Molecule of human myosin consisted of two heavy and two light chains (by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis).

The homogeneous rat liver F1-ATPase preparation of Catterall and Pedersen (Catterall, W.A., and Pedersen, P.L. (1971) J. Biol. Chem. 246, 4987-4994) has been crystallized from a solution containing phosphate and ATP by precipitation with ammonium sulfate. Most of the resultant crystals are cubes of approximately 0.3 to 0.6 mm per side. X-ray precession photographs show that the crystals are rhombohedral, space group R32 (D37 NO155) with hexagonal cell dimensions a = 148 A, c = 368 A. The molecular weight of the asymmetric unit of the crystals is 190,000 or about half the molecular weight (384,000) of the rat liver enzyme indicating that the crystallographic 2-fold axes of symmetry coincide with a molecular symmetry axis. The crystals diffract to at least 3.5 A and therefore this is the first report of an ATPase preparation in which crystals suitable for x-ray analysis have been obtained.
