Sodium- and potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase (NaK-ATPase) was purified from nasal salt glands of the duck (Anas platyrhynchos). Enzyme of specific activity 2,000 to 2,300 mumol of Pi/mg/hour was routinely obtained by sodium dodecyl sulfate treatment of a microsomal fraction of gland homogenate in the presence of 3 mM ATP followed by pelleting of the enzyme through a sucrose density gradient. Purified NaK-ATPase was stable for over 3 months at -20 degree. By sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel filtration chromatography purified NaK-ATPase was shown to contain two polypeptide chains of molecular weight 94,000 and 60,000, the smaller of which was a glycoprotein. Purified enzyme of activity 2,300 mumol of Pi/mg/hour bound 3,600 pmol of ouabain/mg of enzyme protein. Reaction with [gamma-32P]ATP in the presence of Mg2+ and Na+ gave 7,025 pmol of acyl phosphate/mg of enzyme protein. The turnover number calculated from phosphorylation data was 5,460 min-1. Amino acid analysis of the polypeptide components of duck salt gland enzyme after separation by gel filtration chromatography in sodium dodecyl sulfate demonstrated strong compositional homology with highly purified NaK-ATPase preparations from other organs and species. The NH2-terminal amino acid of the 94,000-dalton component was glycine and of the 60,000-dalton component, alanine. With a combination of manual sequencing and automated Edman degradation, the NH2-terminal amino acid sequence of the 94,00-dalton catalytic subunit was found to be Gly-Arg-Asn-Lys-Tyr-Glu-Thr-Thr-Ala-()-Ser-Glu.

Purified (Na+, K+)-activated adenosine triphosphatase ((Na+, K+)-ATPase, ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) has been subjected to trypsin and chymotrypsin hydrolysis. The glycoprotein is much more resistant to proteolysis than the large chain. This differential susceptibility to proteolysis is not due to differences in the number of trypsin or chymotrypsin sensitive bonds because the two subunits are equally susceptible to proteolysis after isolation by preparative gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate. It is also not due to steric "shielding" of the glycoprotein by the large chain or its proteolytic products: (1) The rate of digestion of the glycoprotein is not increased after 90% of the large chain is digested. (2) The majority of the large chain peptides are released into the supernatant upon degradation. It is concluded that the greater resistance of the glycoprotein to proteolysis is due to its native conformation. In the absence of the large chain, the susceptibility of the glycoprotein to tryptic degradation by K+ and Na+. The evidence suggests that this decreased susceptibility was due to conformational changes in the glycoprotein. These specific ligand effects on proteolysis of the glycoprotein suggests that the glycoprotein may participate in Na+ and K+ binding by (Na+, K+)-ATPase.

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.

The polypeptide chain of the Ca2+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase from sarcoplasmic reticulum has a molecular weight of 119 000+/-6500 on the basis of sedimentation equilibrium measurements in sodium dodecyl sulfate. The two primary fragments obtained by limited proteolysis each have within experimental error the same molecular weight, corresponding to one-half the molecular weight of the whole chain. Both fragments are eqaully resistant to complete denaturation by guanidine hydrochloride, a property characteristic of many intrinsic membrane proteins. This suggests that the native enzyme has two membrane-embedded halves, with an externally accessible link between them.

Modification of calcium-translocating sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes (SR) with 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoate) (Nbs2) reveals four classes (kinetic sets) of sulfhydryl groups. Of the 25 mol/1.5 X 10(5) G OF SR protein (i.e., containing 1 mol of ATPase protein) estimated in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate, 8 mol are unreactive, while 7, 8, and 2 mol display pseudo-first-order rate constants (k1) of 0.16, 0.68, and 8.3 min(-1), respectively (25 decrees C, pH 7.8, 4 MM Nbs2). Under these conditions, the Ca-ATPase activity is lost with k1 = 0.73 min(-1), whereas the Ca-independent ATPase activity is essentially unchanged. These results are little changed by the presence of Mg2+ or Ba2+ in the modification mixture, while Ca2+ or Sr2+ causes all 16-17 reactable sulfhydryls to be modified with k1 = 0.50 and 0.53 min(-1), respectively. The corresponding values for the loss of Ca-ATPase activity are 0.53 and 0.67 min(-1); this suggests that blocking of only one of the 16-17 SH groups inactivates the enzyme, i.e., that there is a single "essential" SH group. The midpoint of the transition between the Ca2+-free and Ca2+-modification patterns occurs at a free Ca2+ concentration of about 0.9 muM, implying that it is Ca2+ binding at the active sites (KD = 0.1 muM), rather than at the low-affinity nonspecific sites, that effects a conformation change in the ATPase protein (which contains greater than 90% of the cysteines). A calcium-induced conformation change is also suggested by increased ultraviolet absorbance spectrum of the purified ATPase protein upon calcium binding. If protein-lipid interaction is disrupted with deoxycholate or Triton X-100 (which does not destroy the Ca-ATPase activity and hence presumably leaves the tertiary structure of the ATPase protein largely intact), 95% of the sulfhydryls react with Nbs2 considerably faster; thus, at 2 mg/ml o- deoxycholate, 14 groups react with k1 greater than 20, 5 with k1 = 2.3, and 5 with k1 = 0.4 min(-1). These results suggest that the inaccessibility of SH groups in the absence of detergents is due to extensive interaction of the bilayer phospholipids with the ATPase protein.

Treatment of ascites tumor cells with dextran sulfate resulted in a marked inhibition of the incorporation of [14C]valine into protein in the presence of a high Na+ medium. Amino acid incorporation was restored after i.p. injection of these cells into mice or by exposure of the cells to ascites fluid in vitro. In a medium high in K+ and low in Na+, [14C]valine incorporation into protein took place in dextran treated cells. Rotenone inhibited the reaction, which could be restored by addition of both inorganic phosphate and either glucose or glucose 6-phosphate. Quercetin, an inhibitor of the Na+-K+-ATPase, markedly depressed the incorporation of [14C]valine into protein in intact sdviyrd tumor cells in a high Na+ medium. There was little or no inhibition of protein synthesis in dextran sulfate treated cells when tested in a high K+-low Na+ medium. These experiments suggest a relationship between protein synthesis and the operation of the membranous Na+-K+-ATPase.

Ca2+ATPase activity and light chains of myosin, fractionated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, in developing, adult and denervated fast, slow and cardiac muscles of the rat, guinea-pig, cat, rabbit and chick were studied. It has been shown that in normal adult muscles the electrophoretic pattern of light chains of myosin reflects the myosin ATPase activity only when muscles from the same animal species are compared. In homologous muscles from adult animals differing in size, the size-dependent difference in myosin ATPase activity is not revealed in the electrophoretic pattern. Both in developing and in denervated muscle, changes in myosin ATPase activity are either connected with changes in the pattern of light chains of myosin or this pattern does not change. This relation is different in fast and slow muscles and also differs in chick and rabbit muscles. There are several possibilities of explaining the relation between ATPase activity of myosin and the pattern of light chains of myosin. The observation that myosin from the soleus muscle of 1-month-old rabbit contains light chains corresponding to both fast and slow type of myosin, indicates that the change in myosin ATPase activity during development is due to changes in the ratio between the fast and slow type of myosin.

Human skeletal natural actomyosin contained actin, tropomyosin, troponin and myosin components as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate. Purified human myosin contained at least three light chains having molecular weights (+/-2000) of 25 000, 18 000 and 15 000. Inhibitory and calcium binding components of troponin were identified in an actin-tropomyosin-troponin complex extracted from acetone-dried muscle powder at 37 degrees C. Activation of the Mg-ATPase activity of Ca2+-sensitive human natural or reconstituted actomyosin was half maximal at approximately 3.4 muM Ca2+ concentration (CaEGTA binding constant equals 4.4 - 10(5) at pH 6.8). Subfragment 1, isolated from the human heavy meromyosin by digestion with papain, appeared as a single peak after DEAE-cellulose chromatography. In the pH 6-9 range, the Ca2+-ATPase activity of the subfragment 1 was 1.8- and 4-fold higher that the original heavy meromyosin and myosin, respectively. The ATPase activities of human myosin and its fragments were 6-10 fold lower than those of corresponding proteins from rabbit fast skeletal muscle. Human myosin lost approximately 60% of the Ca2+-ATPase activity at pH 9 without a concomitant change in the number of distribution of its light chains. These findings indicate that human skeletal muscle myosin resembles other slow and fast mammalian muscles. Regulation of human skeletal actomyosin by Ca2+ is similar to that of rabbit fast or slow muscle.

Cross-linking reagents have been used to link covalently adjacent subunits of solubilized spinach chloroplast coupling factor 1, which is a latent ATPase. 1,5-Difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, dimethyl-3,3'-dithiobispropionimidate, and dimethylsuberimidate are able to form bridges of 3 to 11 A between amino groups, and hydrogen peroxide and the o-phenanthroline-cupric ion complex catalyze the oxidation of intrinsic sulfhydryl groups. The five individual subunit bands (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon) and several new aggregate bands can be separated by means of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The same four fastest moving aggregate bands, as characterized by their mobilities, migrate more slowly than the heaviest subunit band and appear with all of the cross-linkers employed. The subunit composition of the aggregate bands has been determined through the use of the reversible cross-linkers, dimethyldithiobispropionimidate, (o-phenanthroline)2Cu(II), and H2O2, and two-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in which aggregates are separated in the first dimension, the disulfide cross-links are cleaved, and the individual subunits present in the aggregates are separated in the second dimension. The subunits are detected by Coomassie brilliant blue staining and by labeling some of the sulfhydryl groups of the gamma and epsilon subunits with radioactive N-ethylmaleimide. The results obtained indicate that the alpha and beta subunits can cross-link directly with each of the other subunits, that two beta subunits are adjacent, and that gamma epsilon, gamma epsilon 2, alpha delta, and beta delta aggregates are present. A minimal subunit stoichiometry consistent with these results is alpha 2 beta 2 gamma delta epsilon 2. A possible structural model of the coupling factor is derived from the data. Similar, but less extensive, experiments have been carried out with the heat-activated coupling factor (which is an ATPase); no differences in the spatial arrangement of subunits are detected from the two-dimensional gel electrophoresis analysis of the cross-linked aggregates.

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.
