An ATPase complex sensitive to the energy transfer inhibitors oligomycin, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and venturicidin has been solubilized from Rhodospirillum rubrum chromatophores with Triton X-100 and further purified by centrifugation on a glycerol gradient. The partially purified RrFo . F1 contains 13 distinct polypeptide subunits, as revealed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, including the subunits of the oligomycin-sensitive, water-soluble RrF1 ATPase. The ATPase activity of RrF0 . F1 as that of the membrane-bound enzyme complex depends on Ca2+ or Mg2+ and from detailed kinetic studies it is concluded that the divalent cation-ATP complex is the substrate for both ATPase complexes. Free ATP and free Mg2+ act as competitive inhibitors, with Ki values of 1 mM and 7 muM, respectively. The subunit composition of the purified RrFo . F1 and its similarity to the membrane-bound ATPase with respect to cation dependence and sensitivity to energy transfer inhibitors suggests that it contains all the subunits of the R. rubrum coupling factor-ATPase complex.

To investigate the dystrophic influence on the characteristics of actin, a method for the isolation of F-actin filaments from the skeletal muscle of small sizes, i.e., less than 0.5 g, was devised. In this method, minced muscle was treated with collagenase and hyaluronidase, and the isolated filaments were washed with adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Upon examination in the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the ATP-washed filaments showed a protein component identical in mobility to actin in untreated myofibrils or to that prepared by the conventional method. Electron microscopic appearances of the filaments were similar to those of F-actin filaments described in the literature. The dimensions of the filaments were 0.5--2.5 micrometer in length and 60--70 A in diameter. The ability to activate the Mg-adenosine triphosphatase or myosin was found to be Ca2+ independent. In all aspects of the above characteristics, the filaments from leg muscles of 129/Re dydy dystrophic mice and their litter mates were observed to be identical.

The (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase from human erythrocyte membranes has been solubilized in Triton X-100 and purified on a calmodulin affinity chromatography column in the presence of phosphatidylserine, to limit the inactivation of the enzyme. The enzyme was purified at least 150 times when compared with the original ghosts and showed a specific activity of 3.8 mumol.mg-1.min-1. In sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, a single major band was visible at a position corresponding to a molecular weight of about 125,000; a minor band (11% of the total protein) was present at a position corresponding to Mr = 205,000. Upon incubation of the purified preparation with [32P]ATP, both bands were phosphorylated in proportion to their mass, suggesting that both were active forms of purified ATPase.

We found considerable differences in the pattern of membrane proteins as well as in the relative amounts of individual components in isolated chick red blood cell membranes during the course of embryonic development. Of special interest in the increase in the relative amounts of two major polypeptides, band 3 and 3.1 (MW 100,000 daltons) with increasing age of the cells. With respect to functional studies, we found that the magnitude of sulfate influx decreases with increasing age of the embryo. Furthermore, the activity of ouabain-sensitive ATPase increases with increasing age (2.5-day embryo to adult). In addition, both the basal and the fluoride-stimulated adenylate cyclase activities decrease as the embryo age increases, whereas the enzyme sensitivity to epinephrine increases with increasing age of the embryo.

Two highly purified sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane fractiones differing in their sensitivities to the uncoupling action of caffeine were isolated from white skeletal muscles of the rabbit. The main protein component of both fractions is a catalytical polypeptide of Ca2+-dependent ATPase. Treatment of the caffeine-sensitive reticular fraction by trypsin or DTNB completely removes the effect of caffeine. It was found that similar effects on the caffeine-sensitive reticular fraction are exerted by bemegride, camphor, ethymizole and cordiamine. Isolation of Ca2+-dependent ATPase from both reticular fractions and reconstruction of Ca2+-transporting vesicles were carried out. Ca2+ transport by the vesicles enriched by ATPase from the caffeine-sensitive reticular fraction is uncoupled under the effect of caffeine; however, caffeine has no effect on the vesicles enriched by caffeine-insensitive reticular ATPase. The molecular weight of caffeine-sensitive and caffeine-insensitive ATPases determined in the presence of sedium dodecyl sulfate are found to be identical. Electrophoresis in the presence of digitonin revealed different electrophoretic behaviour of the two forms of ATPase.

A highly active phosphate transporter was extracted with octylglucoside from bovine heart submitochondrial particles that were first partially depleted of other membrane components. It was then partially purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation. After reconstitution of the transporter into liposomes prepared with a crude mixture of soybean phospholipids, the Pi/OH exchange, but not the Pi/Pi exchange, was stimulated three- to fourfold by valinomycin and nigericin in the presence of K+. Both Pi/OH and Pi/Pi exchange activities were sensitive to mercurials and other SH reagents. The rutamycin-sensitive ATPase complex from mitochondria was reconstituted together with the phosphate transporter and adenine nucleotide transporter into liposomes. After inhibition of externally located ATPase, the hydrolysis of ATP was sensitive to atractyloside and mersalyl.

Triton X-100-insoluble residues from Micrococcus lysodeikticus membranes were analyzed by crossed immunoelectrophoresis after dispersal of the residues in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Conditions which produce no obvious distortion of the immunoprecipitate profile and which allow qualitative and quantitative analyses of the antigens present in the extracts are described. Two main antigens were detected; these were identified as succinate dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.99.1) and adenosine triphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.3). As determined by peak area estimations, the maximal release of succinate dehydrogenase and of adenosine triphosphatase from Triton X-100-insoluble membrane residues occurred at protein/SDS ratios of about 4.3:1 (0.2% SDS) and 6.8:1 (0.13% SDS), respectively. A comparison of enzyme activities of SDS extracts with those of untreated, control Triton X-100-insoluble membrane residues indicated that both the succinate dehydrogenase and the adenosine triphosphatase antigens were released with a full (or enhanced) catalytic potential at or below concentrations of SDS required to effect maximal solubilization of the enzyme in question. Evidence is also presented to suggest that the more acidic of the two components detected by crossed immunoelectrophoresis for the heterogeneous adenosine triphosphatase antigen is more sensitive to SDS than is the other. Both succinate dehydrogenase and adenosine triphosphatase lost catalytic activity and were denatured at protein/SDS ratios lower than 3.4:1.

A high-resolution sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis system has been used to show the presence, in both whole sperm and isolated flagellar axonemes, of eight polypeptides migrating in the 300,000--350,000 molecular weight range characteristic of the heavy chains of dynein ATPase. Previously, only five such chains have been discernible. Extraction of isolated axonemes for 10 min at 4 degrees C with a solution containing 0.6 M NaCl, ph 7, releases a mixture of particles that separate, in sucrose density gradient centrifugation, into a major peak, dynein 1 ATPase, sedimenting at 21S and a minor peak at 12--14S. The polypeptide compositions of these two peaks are different. The dynein 1 peak, which contains most of the protein on the gradient, contains approximately equal quantities of two closely migrating heavy chains, with a small amount of a third, more slowly migrating chain; no other heavy chains appear in this peak. Two groups of smaller polypeptides (three intermediate chains, within the apparent molecular weight range 76,000--122,000 and four newly discovered light chains, within the apparent molecular weight range 14,000--24,000) cosediment with the 21S peak. The heavy chain composition of the 12--14S peak is more complex, all eight heavy chains occurring approximately the same ratios as occur in intact axonemes.

Mitochondria from a rat mammary tumor (R3230AC) have been compared with mitochondria from pregnant and lactating rat mammary glands, with particular attention paid to inner membrane enzymes and Transport proteins. In the tumor the mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase was not activated by 2,4-dinitrophenol, in contrast to the mammary mitochondria from lactating or pregnant rats. Translocation of adenosine diphosphate across the inner membrane was found to be more rapid in the tumor by virtue of lovered Km adenosine diphosphate and raised Vmax. Transport of phosphate and dicarboxylic acids occurred at similar rates in all three types of mitochondria. The inner membrane proteins were also examined directly by sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and some differences are noted. These results, although they indicate subtle differences between the inner mitochondrial membranes of tumor as compared with those of pregnant or lactating rat mammary glands, cannot form the basis of an explanation for enhanced glucose utilization and aerobic lactic acid production in this tumor.

Sulfate-reducing bacteria, Desulfovibrio vulgaris, strain Miyazaki, were grown on either sulfate, sulfite, or thiosulfate as the terminal electron acceptor. Better growth was observed on sulfite and less growth on thiosulfate than on sulfate. Enzyme levels of adenylylsulfate (APS) reductase [EC 1.8.99.2], reductant-activated inorganic pyrophosphatase [EC 3.6.1.1], sulfite reductase [EC 1.8.99.1] (desulfoviridin), hydrogenase [EC 1.12.2.1], and Mg2+-activated ATPase [EC 3.6.1.3] were compared in crude extracts of these cells at various stages of growth. 1) The specific activity of APS reductase in sulfite-grown cells was only one-fourth that in sulfate-grown cells throughout growth. Thiosulfate-grown cells had an activity intermediate between those of sulfate- and sulfite-grown cells. 2) Cells grown on sulfite had lower specific activity of reductant-activated inorganic pyrophosphatase than cells grown on sulfate or thiosulfate. 3) The specific activity of sulfite reductase (desulfoviridin) was highest in sulfite-grown cells. The sulfite medium gave the enzyme in high yield as well as with high specific activity. 4) The specific activities of hydrogenase and Mg2+-ATPase were not significantly altered by electron acceptors in the growth medium.
