ATPase activity and ATP-induced energization of photosynthetic membranes from Rhodopseudomonas capsulata are stimulated by phosphate; the maximum stimulatory effect occurs at a concentration between 1 and 2 mM. The sensitivity of the ATPase to oligomycin increases in the presence of phosphate since all the Pi-stimulated activity is inhibited by this antibiotic. Aurovertin, which has no effect on ATPase in the absence of phosphate, inhibits completely the activity elicited by this anion. The addition of Pi induces a substantial increase in the V of ATPase activity without changing the affinity of the enzyme for ATP or ADP. Arsenate, at the same concentrations, produces effects very similar to those of phosphate. The stimulation by arsenate of the transfer of energy from ATP to the membrane suggests a non-hydrolytic role of this anion as a modifier of the ATPase activity.

1. The effects of phosphate and electron transport on the ATPase induced in rat-liver mitochondria by the uncoupler carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone have been measured at different uncoupler concentrations and compared with those of ATP, oligomycin and aurovertin. 2. The inhibitory action of respiratory-chain inhibitors on the ATPase activity, which is independent of the actual inhibitor used, is greatly delayed or prevented by the presence of uncoupler, and, in the case of rotenone, can be reversed completely by the subsequent addition of succinate (in the absence of uncoupler). These results can be explained on the basis of the proposal previously made by others that coupled electron transfer causes a structural change in the ATPase complex that results in a decreased affinity of the ATPase inhibitor for the mitochondrial ATPase. 3. Inorganic phosphate specifically stimulates the ATPase activity at high uncoupler concentrations (greater than 0.2 muM), but has no effect at low concentrations. The stimulation is prevented or abolished by sufficiently high concentrations of aurovertin. 4. Aurovertin prevents the inhibition of the uncoupler-induced ATPase by high uncoupler concentrations. 5. It is proposed that the steady-state concentration of endogenous P-i may be an important regulator of the turnover of the ATPase in intact mitochondria and that the inhibition of ATPase activity by high concentrations of uncoupler is at least partially mediated via changes in the concentration of endogenous P-i.

1. Like other energy-transducing membranes, chloroplast membranes bear a coupling ATPase with especially tight binding sites for adenine nucleotides. Membranes washed several times still contain 2.5 nmol ATP and 1.3 nmol ADP bound per mg chlorophyll, which is equivalent to 1.9 ATP and 1.0 ADP per coupling ATPase. 2. In de-energized membranes, these nucleotides exchange to only a limited extent with added nucleotides. In membranes illuminated in the presence of pyocyanine, however, complete exchange of the bound nucleotides occurs rapidly, irrespective of whether ATP or ADP is present in the medium. 3. Pi can exchange into these nucleotided at both the beta and gamma positions when the membranes are energized in the presence of Mg-2+. Equilibrium with the beta and gamma groups of th ebound nucleotides is, however, not complete. 4. The inhibitors and uncouplers Dio-9, S13 and EDTA have different effects on the exchange of nucleotides, the exchange of inorganic phosphate and photophosphorylation. 5. The bound ATP level on the membrane is stable to a wide variety of conditions. The ADP level, however, drops to near zero under conditions of maximal activation of the emmbrane ATPase.

Certain bioflavonoids inhibit the glycolysis of variety of tumor cells by interfering with the generation of adenosine diphosphate and inorganic phosphate which are required for glycolysis. Tetra- and pentahydroxy flavones with hydroxyl groups as 3, 3', 4', 5, and 7 (e.g., quercetin) are the most active. They inhibit the activity of isolated Na+-K+-adenosinetriphosphatase of the plasma membrane and of mitochondrial adenosinetriphosphatase, but under appropriate conditions do not interfere with the ion transport increase the the translocation efficiency of the ion pump. It was shown that in several tumor cells loosely coupled ion pumps are responsible for the high rate of aerobic glycolysis, the effect of quercetin on the growth of several cell lines was examined. Since bicarbonate and serum albumin were found to counteract the effect of quercetin, the cells were grown in tissue cultures at low concentrations of these compounds. Pronounced inhibition of growth was observed at 5 to 20 mug of quercetin per ml of growth medium.

The demonstrated role of proton translocation and resulting electrochemical activity gradients (protonmotive force) in ATP synthesis by chloroplasts is noted. Evidence for the participation of conformational changes in the terminal ATPase (coupling factor, or CF1) is reviewed. Hydrogen exchange into ordinarily cyptic groups of the molecule occurs only when the subtending membranes are put under the stress of a protonmotive force. Since up to 100 hydrogen atoms per mole are involved in the energy-dependent exchange the conformational change permitting tham access to the medium must be a major one. Chemical reagents are beginning to be used to attack groups on CF1 that are exposed only when the membranes are energized. N-ethylmaleimide binds covalently, sulfate causes as yet unspecified damage, and permanganate leads to oxidative damage to CF1 under energized conditions. The last two reagents are analogues of phosphate, and ADP must be added for them to inhibit. On the basis of this and other differences between the conditions needed for inhibition by permanganate or sulfate, and that by N-ethylmaleimide or the hydrogen exchange, a somewhat complex scheme involving several successive or alternative conformations of CF1 can be postulated. Questions are raised as to the way in which a conformational change in a bound protein could be caused by a proton activity gradient across its supporting membrane, and as to whether the altered conformations might constitute a part of the energy transformations leading to ATP synthesis.

1. The (Na++K+)-ATPase of red cell membranes is unable to hydrolyse ATP-analogues in which the oxygen atom linking the beta- and gamma-phosphate groups is replaced by a minusCH2minus or minusNH-bridge. 2. In resealed ghosts both these ATP-analogues support K:K exchange but not Na:K exchange. ATP supports both modes of operation of the sodium pump, whereas neither occurs without any nucleotide. 3. These results support the hypothesis that ATP is needed as a cofactor for K:K exchange to occur, and make it extremely unlikely that phosphorylation from ATP is involved.

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.

The specificity of the histochemical localization of the calcium activated adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) at pH 7.4 was studied using a calcium-citro-phosphate technique. The latter involves the splitting of ATP by ATPase producing phosphate ions which then react with calcium and citrate to form an insoluble reaction product. This reaction product was detected by both light and electron microscopy. Light microscopic examination showed a darkly stained continuous reticular pattern of reaction product which surrounded individual myofibrils. This reticular pattern of reaction product was distinctly dissimilar to that found when the histochemical reactions for mitochondrial or myofibrillar ATPase were performed. Ultrastructural investigations demonstrated the presence of discrete foci of electron dense reaction product in close association with the membranes of the SR in striated muscle fibres. Only occasional flecks were seen in the vicinity of mitochondria or myofilaments. The possibility is considered that the reticular pattern of staining achieved by the calcium-citro-phosphate technique may reflect the distribution of the "extra ATPase" of the SR, an enzyme implicated in the process of calcium uptake and muscle relaxation.

An in vitro inhibitor of Na-K-ATPase was discovered in a commonly used preparation of ATP made by the Sigma Chemical Company, St. Louis, Mo. (Sigma grade ATP). As measured by a reliable and widely used assay system in which phosphate liberation in measured colorimetrically, Na-K-ATPase activity in the rat kidney, small intestine and colon was about 50% lower then Sigma grade ATP was used as substrate as compared to another Sigma Chemical Company product II ATP. Mg-ATPase and adenylate cyclase assays were unaffected by substituting Sigma grade for grade II ATP. The inhibitor of Na-K-ATPase could not be identified. Sigma grade ATP probably should not be used when measuring the activity of Na-K-ATPase in the rat kidney, small intestine, or colon.

Tissue levels of creatine phosphate (CP), creatine, adenosine-triphosphate(ATP), inorganic phosphate (Pi), glycogen, glucose and lactate were determined in heterotopically transplanted and recipient hearts as well as in the myocardium of sham-operated rabbitsmthe ATPase activity in these tissues was also estimatedmthe results revealed no biochemical indication of ischemic conditions in the transplanted organs relative to the other investigated tissue. The tissue levels of CP in the donor heart were even higher then in both the recipient and sham-operated organs. The concentrations of the other above listed compounds in all the studied tissue were similar throughout the first 5 post-operative days. The effect of surgery was manifested in decreased levels of CP, still prevailing 3 days post-operative in all of the investigated tissue. However, on the fifth day after surgery, the tissue concentration of CP showed a trend toward recovery. The activity of Na,K-ATPase in both donor and recipient hearts was similar. One day after surgery, the activity of the Mg-ATPase was 27% lower relative to its value on days 3 and 5 post-operatively. However no correlation was obtained between the change in Mg-ATPase and tissue concentrations of ATP.
