A simple and fast ion pair reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of ATP, ADP, AMP, GTP, GDP, IMP, NADP+, NADPH+, NAD+, NADH, ADP-ribose, inosine, adenosine, hypoxanthine, and xanthine. This method allows us to have a complete picture of the most important nucleotides present in fresh human erythrocytes. Furthermore it is particularly useful in the study of the erythrocyte adenine nucleotide catabolism allowing the detection of degradation products such as IMP, inosine, adenosine, hypoxanthine, and xanthine. The separation of the compounds under investigation is achieved in less than 15 min using a reversed-phase 3-micron Supelcosil LC-18 column and adding tetrabutylammonium, as ion-pair agent, to the buffers. The short time of analysis, the high reproducibility of the system, and the accurate evaluation of the compounds of interest make this method particularly suitable for routine analysis. Finally it is possible to use this assay as an alternative method of measuring activities of enzymes which catalyze reactions involving some of these compounds, as in the case of Na+-K+ ATPase, AMP deaminase, and adenosine deaminase.

The visual excitation system of the retinal rod outer segments and the hormone-sensitive adenylate cyclase complex are regulated through guanine nucleotide-binding proteins, transducin in the former and inhibitory and stimulatory regulatory components, Gi and Gs, in the latter. These proteins are functionally and structurally similar; all are heterotrimers composed of alpha, beta, and gamma subunits and exhibit guanosine triphosphatase activity stimulated by light-activated rhodopsin or the agonist-receptor complex. Adenylate cyclase can be stimulated by vanadate, which, like NaF, probably acts through Gs. Effects of vanadate on the function of a guanine nucleotide-binding protein were investigated in a reconstituted model system consisting of purified transducin subunits (T alpha, T beta gamma) and rhodopsin in phosphatidylcholine vesicles. Vanadate (decameric) inhibited [3H]GTP binding to T alpha and noncompetitively inhibited GTP hydrolysis in a concentration-dependent manner with maximal inhibition of approximately 90% at 3-5 mM. Vanadate also inhibited release of bound GDP but did not affect the rate of hydrolysis of bound GTP (single turnover rate), indicating that vanadate did not interfere with the intrinsic GTPase activity of T alpha. Binding of T alpha to rhodopsin and the ADP-ribosylation of T alpha by pertussis toxin, both of which are enhanced in the presence of T beta gamma, were inhibited by vanadate. These findings are consistent with the conclusion that vanadate can cause the dissociation of T alpha from T beta gamma, resulting in the inhibition of GDP-GTP exchange and thereby GTP hydrolysis. Adenylate cyclase activation could result from a similar effect of vanadate on Gs.

Nucleotide-depleted mitochondrial F1-ATPase binds 3'-(2')-O-(2-nitro-4-azidobenzoyl)-derivatives of ATP (NAB-ATP) and GTP (NAB-GTP) when these nucleotide analogues are added to the enzyme in equimolar quantities in the presence of Mg2+ (uni-site catalysis conditions). The binding of NAB-ATP is accompanied by its hydrolysis and inorganic phosphate dissociation from the enzyme; NAB-ADP remains bound to F1-ATPase. The F1-ATPase X NAB-ADP complex has no ATPase activity and its reactivation in the presence of an excess of ATP is accompanied by NAB-ADP release. The illumination of the F1-ATPase complexes with NAB-ADP or NAB-GDP leads to the covalent binding of one nucleotide analogue molecule to the enzyme and to the irreversible inactivation of F1-ATPase. It follows from the results obtained that the modification of just one of the F1-ATPase catalytic sites is sufficient to complete the inhibition of ATPase activity.

The ATP-H2O back-exchange reaction catalyzed by membrane-bound chloroplast coupling factor 1 (CF1) in the light is known to be extensive; each reacting ATP molecule nearly equilibrates its gamma-PO3 oxygens with H2O before it dissociates from the enzyme. Pi, ASi, ADP, and GDP, alternate substrates of photophosphorylation, each inhibit the exchange reaction. At all concentrations of these substrate/inhibitor molecules tested, the high extent of exchange per molecule of ATP that reacts remains the same, while the number of ATP molecules experiencing exchange decreases. Thus, these inhibitors appear to act in a competitive-type manner, decreasing ATP turnover, as opposed to modulating the rate constants responsible for the partitioning of E X ATP during the exchange reaction. This is consistent with the identity of CF1 catalytic sites for ATP-H2O back-exchange and ATP synthesis. Carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone and NH4Cl (uncouplers of photophosphorylation) and phloridzin (an energy-transfer inhibitor) also lower the rate of ATP-H2O back-exchange; they too are found to act by decreasing the turnover of the ATP pool, not the extent of exchange per reacting ATP molecule. The extent of ATP-H2O forward oxygen exchange, which occurs during net ATP synthesis prior to product dissociation, is unaffected by uncouplers, whether catalyzed by native CF1 (ATPase latent) or the dithiothreitol/light-activated ATPase form. The mode of NH4Cl inhibition of the ATP synthesis reaction, therefore, is not through a change in the partitioning of the E X ATP complex.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The stoichiometry of nucleotide binding to the isolated alpha- and beta-subunits of Escherichia coli F1-ATPase was investigated using two experimental techniques: (a) titration with fluorescent trinitrophenyl (TNP) derivatives of AMP, ADP, and ATP and (b) the centrifuge column procedure using the particular conditions of Khananshvili and Gromet-Elhanan (Khananshvili, D., and Gromet-Elhanan, Z. (1985) FEBS Lett. 178, 10-14). Both procedures showed that alpha-subunit contains one nucleotide-binding site, confirming previous work. TNP-ADP and TNP-ATP bound to a maximal level of 1 mol/mol beta-subunit, consistent with previous equilibrium dialysis studies which showed isolated beta-subunit bound 1 mol of ADP or ATP per mol (Issartel, J. P., and Vignais, P. V. (1984) Biochemistry 23, 6591-6595). However, binding of only approximately 0.1 mol of ATP or ADP per mol of beta-subunit was detected using centrifuge columns. Our results are consistent with the conclusion that each of the alpha- and beta-subunits contains one nucleotide-binding domain. Because the subunit stoichiometry is alpha 3 beta 3 gamma delta epsilon, this can account for the location of the six known nucleotide-binding sites in E. coli F1-ATPase. Studies of in vitro assembly of isolated alpha-, beta-, and gamma- subunits into an active ATPase showed that ATP, GTP, and ITP all supported assembly, with half-maximal reconstitution of ATPase occurring at concentrations of 100-200 microM, whereas ADP, GDP, and IDP did not. Also TNP-ATP supported assembly and TNP-ADP did not. The results demonstrate that (a) the nucleotide-binding site on beta-subunit has to be filled for enzyme assembly to proceed, whereas occupancy of the alpha-subunit nucleotide-binding site is not required, and (b) that enzyme assembly requires nucleoside triphosphate.

The Ca2+ pump of rat heart sarcolemma has been studied via its ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport and (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-dependent ATPase activities. Direct incubation of the sarcolemmal vesicles with micromolar concentration of guanosine 5'-O-(thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S) results in the reduction of Ca2+ uptake by 34 +/- 10% and ATP hydrolysis by 55 +/- 7%. Similar inhibition of the sarcolemmal Ca2+ pump is also observed with micromolar concentration of inositol trisphosphate (IP3), while GDP or inositol tetrakisphosphate (IP4) has no effect. Based on the evidence that these sarcolemmal vesicles are capable of generating IP3 upon stimulation by GTP gamma S, and that no additive effect is observed when both agents are incubated together with the membranes, it is concluded that the effect of GTP gamma S on the Ca2+ pump is mediated by IP3. The results here show for the first time that plasma membrane Ca2+ pump has a role in the primary Ca2+ signaling.

Light-activated hydrolysis of cyclic GMP is achieved through the photoexcitation of rhodopsin, a process which then triggers the replacement of GDP for GTP by a retinal guanosine 5'-triphosphatase referred to as 'transducin'. The transducin-GTP complex then switches on the phosphodiesterase [Fung, Hurley & Stryer (1981) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 78, 152-156]. The bovine transducin consists of an alpha-subunit (39000 Mr), which is a GTP-binding component, together with a beta-(37000 Mr) and a gamma-subunit (10000 Mr). We have purified retinal transducin from cow, pig, chick and frog. The enzyme specific activities and sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel-electrophoretic profiles indicate that this enzyme is similar in all species except the frog. Whereas the bovine, pig and chick transducins consist of major 37000- and 39000-Mr components, that of the frog consists of a single 75000-Mr component. Labelling of the GTP-binding components with the photoaffinity label 8-azidoguanosine [gamma-32P]triphosphate demonstrated that the 37000-Mr components of the cow, pig and chick and the 75000-Mr component of the frog were major GTP-binding components. In addition, peptide maps of radioiodinated tryptic peptides indicate that the frog 75000-Mr protein is highly related to the pig transducin. These results demonstrate evolutionary conservation of retinal transducin and the presence of a higher-Mr, but nonetheless highly conserved form, of transducin in the frog. The relationship of this component to the recently reported rod-outer-segment inhibitor protein [Yamazaki, Stein, Chernoff & Bitensky (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 8188-8194] is discussed.

ATP analogues are studied for their effect on phosphatase and ATPase activities of Na+, K+-ATPase with the aim to obtain data concerning properties and structure of sites of high and low affinity to ATP. The activating effect of nucleotides on K+-dependent phosphatase reflecting their ability to be bound with the centres of high affinity decreases in a series: ATP, N1-oxy-ATP, CTP, JTP. In the domain of high ATP concentrations, where low affinity site is saturated, ADP is a competitive inhibition of ATPase reaction with Ki of 300 microM. The analysis of N1-oxy-ATP inhibiting effect has shown that its affinity to this site is six times less than that of ADP. The absence of the inhibiting effect of CDP, JDP, GDP and UDP in concentrations up to 10 mM testifies to the fact that sites of both low and high affinity to ATP are characterized by high specificity with respect to the adenine part of the substrate molecule.

Glycerol-induced tubulin polymerization supported by non-guanine nucleotides was examined. The electrophoretically homogeneous tubulin was devoid of nucleoside diphosphate kinase activity and 95% saturated with exchangeable GDP and nonexchangeable GTP. All purine ribonucleoside 5'-triphosphates were active but no polymerization occurred with CTP or UTP. All polymerization reactions, as a function of nucleotide concentration, were similar: above a minimum (threshold) concentration, as the amount of nucleotide increased the reaction became progressively more rapid and extensive with a progressively shorter nucleation period. Threshold concentrations of ATP, XTP, ITP and GTP were 0.6 mM, 0.3 mM, 30 microM and 7 microM, respectively. Most ribose- and polyphosphate-modified ATP analogs also supported polymerization at high concentrations, but the activity of these analogs relative to ATP was very similar to the activity of cognate GTP analogs relative to GTP. Polymerization with ATP was associated with an ATPase reaction. ATP hydrolysis was potently inhibited by GDP and GTP and altered by antimitotic drugs in parallel with the effects of these agents on GTP hydrolysis. Substantial amounts of [8-14C]GDP bound in the exchangeable site of tubulin were displaced during polymerization with GTP or ATP, but much higher concentrations of ATP were required for equivalent displacement of the tubulin-bound GDP. Polymerization with GTP or ATP was inhibited in a qualitatively similar manner by GDP, with increasing concentrations of GDP causing a progressive prolongation of the nucleation period and reduction in reaction rate and extent. However, complete inhibition of polymerization required that GDP:GTP much greater than 1, but that GDP:ATP much less than 1. Inhibition appeared to be primarily competitive, since with higher triphosphate concentrations higher GDP concentrations were required for comparable inhibition. We conclude that ATP effects on tubulin polymerization are mediated through a feeble interaction at the exchangeable GTP site.

Fast-performance liquid chromatography was used to purify assembly-competent tubulin from porcine brain microtubule protein prepared by two cycles of assembly-disassembly. Microtubule protein (1-100 mg at 1.5-2.5 mg/ml) in buffer consisting of 0.1 M 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid, 0.5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 0.3 M KCl, and 0.02 mM GTP (pH 6.6) was applied to the Mono Q column (anion exchanger). The microtubule-associated proteins, GTP and GDP, eluted in the void volume. The tubulin fraction eluted at 0.45-0.50 M KCl with 65-80% recovery. The tubulin fraction contained trace enzymatic activities when compared with the starting microtubule protein, i.e., less than 1 versus 60 mU/mg/min of nucleoside diphosphate kinase, 0.2 versus 7.0 nmol/mg/min of Mg-ATPase at pH 6.6, and 0.2 versus 88 mU/mg/min of adenylate kinase. Both the Mono Q-purified tubulin and the pelleted microtubules that were assembled in 0.5 mM [3H]GTP contained 0.77 mol of labeled nucleotide/tubulin dimer. The Mono Q-purified tubulin fraction was competent to assemble, i.e., the critical concentration was 0.1 mg/ml in the presence of 0.03 mM taxol and 1 mM GTP at 37 degrees C. The Mono Q-purified tubulin fraction showed trace high-molecular-weight components, which were removed on Mono S (cation exchanger) columns. Alternatively, microtubule protein in buffer was applied to the Mono S column. Tubulin, trace nontubulin proteins, and several enzymatic activities came off in the void volume. A combination of Mono Q-Mono S or Mono S-Mono Q chromatography resulted in highly purified protein.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
