The activity of ATPase was studied in highly purified rat liver and thymus cell nuclei, HCO3-, CO3(2-) and SO3(2-) stimulated nuclear ATPase in 1.5--2 times. HSO3- did not affect the enzyme activity, and NO3-, J-, ClO4-,F- and SCN- inhibited it. Bicarbonate increased V and decreased Ka for ATP. SCN- inhibited HCO3--ATPase activity non-competitively with respect to HCO3-. Mg2+-ATPase activity did not depend on pH, and HCO3-component of the activity was decreased under alkaline pH. Mg2+, Mn2+ and Co2+ increased the initial ATPase activity and helped its stimulation with HCO3-. Ba2+, Ni2+ and Zn2+ inhibited the ATPase activity, and Ca2+ did not affect it, Nuclear ATPase is sensitive to 2,4-dinitrophenol and DNAase. It is suggested that cell nuclei have their own H+-ATPase differing for some characteristics from mitochondrial H+-ATPase.

Selectively permeable membrane vesicles isolated from Simian virus 40-transformed mouse fibroblasts catalyzed Na+ gradient-coupled active transport of several neutral amino acids dissociated from intracellular metabolism. Na+-stimulated alanine transport activity accompanied plasma membrane material during centrifugation in discontinuous dextran 110 gradients. Carrier-mediated transport into the vesicle was demonstrated. When Na+ was equilibrated across the membrane, countertransport stimulation of L-[3H]alanine uptake occurred in the presence of accumulated unlabeled L-alanine, 2-aminoisobutyric acid, or L-methionine. Competitive interactions among neutral amino acids, pH profiles, and apparent Km values for Na+ gradient-stimulated transport into vesicles were similar to those previously described for amino acid uptake in Ehrlich ascites cells, which suggests that the transport activity assayed in vesicles is a component of the corresponding cellular uptake process. Both the initial rate and quasi-steady state of uptake were stimulated as a function of a Na+ gradient (external Na+ greater than internal Na+) applied artificially across the membrane and were independent of endogenous (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity. Stimulation by Na+ was decreased when the Na+ gradient was dissipated by monensin, gramicidin D or Na+ preincubation. Na+ decreased the apparent Km for alanine, 2-aminoisobutyric acid, and glutamine transport. Na+ gradient-stimulated amino acid transport was electrogenic, stimulated by conditions expected to generate an interior-negative membrane potential, such as the presence of the permeant anions NO3- and SCN-. Na+-stimulated L-alanine transport was also stimulated by an electrogenic potassium diffusion potential (K+ internal greater than K+ external) catalyzed by valinomycin; this stimulation was blocked by nigericin. These observations provide support for a mechanism of active neutral amino acid transport via the "A system" of the plasma membrane in which both a Na+ gradient and membrane potential contribute to the total driving force.

Adenosine triphosphatase enzymatic activity was investigated in human approximatively normal, dysplastic and neoplastic mammary tissue, by three different methods. Staining intensity varied within wide limits; myoepithelial cells and blood vessels showed similar enzymatic activity. Epithelial cells reacted only faintly, or not at all; carcinoma cells were never labelled. Stromal response was highly variable. The calcium-cobalt method of Padykula and Herman gave more intense reactions than the lead-nitrate procedure of Wachstein and Meisel, either in the original form or according to the modifications recommended by Russo and Wells. With the latter method the sharpness of stain deposits on the different structures was markedly enhanced. The functional significance of ATPase activity is discussed.

Sarcoplasmic reticulum (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase was previously shown to have Ca2+-dependent and -selective ionophoric activity when tested in oxidized cholesterol lipid bilayer membranes (Shamoo, A. E., and MacLennan, D. H. (1974) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 71, 3522). ruthenium red, a known inhibitor of (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase, is found to inhibit the Ca2+-ionophoric activity associated with (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase. Furthermore, ruthenium red alone acts as an anion-selective ionophore in lipid bilayers with the the following selectivity sequence for anions: l- greater than Cl-, Br- greater than F- greater than NO3-. The PCl-/PNa+ ratio was approximately 4/l. The presence of ruthenium red in excess of Ca2+ ionophore in lipid bilayer experiments converts the cation selectivity of the bilayer due to Ca2+ ionophore into anion selectivity.

Transport properties of membrane vesicles isolated from two adenosine triphosphatase-deficient mutants of Escherichia coli, NR70 and DL54, were compared with those of vesicles prepared from the corresponding parental strains. As reported previously (Rosen, 1973; Altendorf et al., 1974), vesicles prepared from these mutants grown under aerobic conditions exhibited defective amino acid transport, and activity was restored after treatment with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. In sharp contrast, however, vesicles isolated from the same mutants grown anaerobically in the presence of nitrate exhibited completely normal transport activity when assayed under either anaerobic or aerobic conditions. Suppression of the transport defect was not due to the manner by which the vesicles were prepared, and the adenosine triphosphatase deficiency was not ameliorated by anaerobic growth in the presence of nitrite. Finally, the transport activity of vesicles prepared from the mutants grown under aerobic conditions was relatively resistant to the effect of 1.0 M guanidine hydrochloride extraction, whereas the activity of vesicles prepared from mutants grown anaerobically was totally refractory to the effect of the chaotrope.

HCO3--sensitive ATPase was found in nuclear and plasma membrane fractions of Ehrlich ascites tumour cells and lymphoma NK cells. HCO3--ATPase was not sensitive to monovalent cations and to ouabain (10(-4) M). The 60 mM HCO3- is the concentration of maximal activation of the HCO3--sensitive ATPase. The HCO3--sensitive ATPase was inhibited by anions in the sequence: SCN- greater than F- greater than ClO4- greater J-. The anions Br-, NO3-, HSO3- were not effective.

The effect of dantrolene sodium, 1-(5-(p-nitrophenyl)furfuryli-deneamino)hydantoin sodium hydrate, on electrical and mechanical response in frog skeltal muscles (whole muscles or single fibers) and on the biochemical properties of contractile proteins and fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum isolated from frog or rabbit skeletal muscle was investigated. The peak tensions of twitch, tetanus and potassium contracture were significantly inhibited by dantrolene, without affecting the magnitude of resting potential, the amplitude and duration of action potential and the negative afterpotential. On the other hand, ATP-INDUCED SHORTENING OF GLYCEROL-EXTRACTED RABBIT PSOAS MUSCLE FIBERS, ATPase activity of frog myofibrils and Ca release induced by caffeine, Ca uptake and ATPase activity of fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum of frog or rabbit muscle were not affected by dantrolene. Caffeine contracture was partially inhibited by dantrolene and was almost unchanged by it in potassium-depolarized muscele fiber. Nitrate ions and low concentration of caffeine rapidly recovered the twitch inhibition induced by dantrolene. These results suggested that dantrolene acts on the membrane of transverse tubules and possibly the triadic junction and that it inhibits the inward movement of Ca and subsequently decreases the release of activator Ca from sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Daily intraperitoneal administration of thorium nitrate produced progressive morphological and biochemical alterations with the increase in thorium concentration in rat testis. The degenerative changes in the seminiferous tubules increased with the duration of treatment and after 90 days calcification occurred in about 25% of the tubules and in the connective tissue of the tunica albuginea. The activity of adenosine triphosphatase and alkaline phosphatase increased markedly as a result of thorium administration. An attempt has been made to interrelate histopathological and enzymatic changes and the metal concentration in the testicular tissue.

Hepatocytes from rats were isolated by treatment with trypsin and cultured. Plasma membranes at different culture stages were observed by electron microscopy. The activities of 5' nucleotidase and adenosinetriphosphatase on the plasma membranes were examined. The cell coat was also studied by use of the concanavalin A-peroxidase technique. The surfaces of single cells, covered with microvilli, are the site of adenosinetriphosphatase activity only and are devoid of 5'-nucleotidase activity. After a few h of culture, the cells are grouped together in tight clusters or long trails and are separated by an intercellular space of 250 A, partially permeable to lanthanum nitrate. The juxtaposed plasma membranes on which 5'-nucleotidase and adenosinetriphosphatase activities occur also delimit spaces similar to bile canaliculi. The formation of junction complexes and their permeability to lanthanum nitrate was also studied. No enzymatic activity is observed at the junctions. The numerous tight junctions, impervious to the tracer, are always accompanied by a profusion of microfilaments. Mature desmosomes are rare, and are present only in the form of "maculae adhaerentes diminutae." The gap junctions, nearly always permeable to the tracer, form rapidly and assume a variety of shapes (trail, bulge and ring-like), the significance of which is open to discussion. The use of concanavalin A permits localization of the free sugar sites on the surface of the cells, in the pinocytotic vesicles and in the internal space of the gap junctions.

Adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity was localized at an ultrastructural level in the resting mammary glands of female BALB/c mice. A Mg++ dependent ATPase was localized in the plasma membranes of both the epithelial and myoepithelial cells of the mammary tubules. A second type of ATPase activity that was not Mg++-dependent but that was Na+ and K+ dependent was localized primarily in the plasma membranes of the myoepithelial cells. Preincubation with either ouabain or N-ethylmaleimide decreased the quantity of reaction product, indicating that both types of ATPase activity were sensitive to these inhibitors. Control media, containing adenosine triphosphate and Pb(NO3)2 without cations, demonstrated that the amount of nonezymatic hydrolysis was negligible. These differences in the cationic requirements for plasma membrane ATPase activity can be used to distinguish histochemically the epithelial from myoepithelial cells in mammary tissue.
