The role of lipid-protein interaction in the regulation of the brain Na-pump by different neurotropic agents (prostaglandin E2, middle molecules from blood plasma of uremic patients, neuropeptide galanin, the oligopeptide fraction from brain) was investigated. We established a definite correlation between the lipid status (the peroxidativity of the lipids, the phospholipids and cholesterol content) of the Na,K-ATPase enzyme preparation (plasma membrane fragments) and the influence of the neurotropic agents. Besides, after the treatment with delipidative agents (phospholipase A2, SDS) the inhibitory effects of these neurotropic agents, were diminished significantly. These facts do not contradict our previous suggestion that the lipid-protein interactions underlay the regulative action mechanism of the natural bioactive ligands.

Previous reports have shown that papain-digested gizzard subfragment-1 (PAP-S1) has a cleaved regulatory light chain (LC20), and Vmax similar to phosphorylated heavy meromyosin (HMM) (Greene et al., Biochemistry 22:530-535, 1983; Sellers et al., J. Biol. Chem. 257:13880-13883, 1982; Umemoto et al., J. Biol. Chem. 264:1431-1436, 1989], while S. aureus protease-digested S-1 (SAP-S1) has intact LC20, but Vmax closer to that of unphosphorylated HMM [Ikebe and Hartshorne, 1985]. To determine whether intact LC20 inhibits ATPase activity for subfragment-1 (S1), we compared the kinetic properties and structures of unphosphorylated PAP-S1 and SAP-S1. SDS-PAGE showed that SAP-S1 had 68 and 24 KDa heavy chain and 20 and 17 KDa light chain components. PAP-S1 (15 minutes digestion at 20 degrees C) also had 68 and 17 KDa bands, but the single 24 KDa band (24HC) was replaced by a group of 22-24 KDa fragments and LC20 was cleaved to a 16 KDa fragment. At 13 mM ionic strength, both PAP-S1 and SAP-S1 had Vmax similar to phosphorylated HMM (1.1-1.5 s-1). SAP-S1 had the same KATPase as phosphorylated HMM (38 microM actin), but KATPase for PAP-S1 was 3-fold stronger (11 microM actin). Subsequent digestion of SAP-S1 with papain did not significantly change Vmax, but as LC20 and 24HC were cleaved, both KATPase and Kbinding strengthened 3- to 5-fold. Thus, intact LC20 did not inhibit, and cleavage of LC20 did not increase Vmax for S1. Rather, papain cleavage of LC20 and 24HC was associated with strengthened actin binding.

Troponin C was isolated from the skeletal muscle of bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana), and its relative molecular mass was estimated to be 18,000 by SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In its amino acid composition, bullfrog troponin C was similar to that of the frog (Rana esculenta) but different from that of rabbit. Its ultraviolet spectrum was consistent with its amino acid composition. The ultraviolet difference spectrum of the Ca(2+)-loaded form vs. the metal-free form indicated that the single Tyr residue and some Phe residues in the bullfrog troponin C molecule were affected by the conformational change associated with Ca2+ binding. On electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel in 14 mM Tris and 90 mM glycine, the metal-free and Mg(2+)-loaded forms migrated slower than the Ca(2+)-loaded form. The property is shared by rabbit troponin C but not parvalbumins or calmodulin. The ATPase activity of CDTA-treated myofibrils reconstituted with bullfrog troponin C showed the same Ca(2+)- and Sr(2+)-sensitivity as that of those reconstituted with rabbit troponin C. Bullfrog troponin C is, thus, physiologically the same as rabbit troponin C, in spite of several marked differences in their physicochemical properties.

Vesamicol is a highly potent inhibitor of active acetylcholine transport into isolated cholinergic vesicles from Torpedo. On the basis of transport kinetics and vesamicol sensitivity, we have shown that the acetylcholine transporter could be in an activated state even in the absence of a stimulated ATPase. In this preparation, N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD), an hydrophobic carbodiimide, inactivates both ACh transport and vesamicol binding. Inhibition of vesamicol binding by DCCD is time dependent, saturable and prevented by vesamicol. DCCD first affected the affinity constant for vesamicol. Ki-value for DCCD lies in the micromolar range. These results imply that there is a DCCD reactive site within the ACh transporter and that it is located in an hydrophobic environment near the vesamicol binding site. SDS-gel electrophoresis after labelling of the vesicle membrane proteins with [14C]DCCD shows that radioactivity is mainly incorporated in a 15 kDa subunit. Time-course and concentration dependence of [14C]DCCD labelling and vesamicol inhibition do not coincide. Hence, the two processes are probably unrelated and the result rather points to another inactivation mechanism which can be an intramolecular cross link.

A marked increase in water permeability can be induced in Xenopus oocytes by injection of mRNA from tissues that express water channels, suggesting that the water channel is a protein. In view of this and previous reports which showed that proteinases may interfere with mercurial inhibition of water transport in red blood cells (RBC), we examined the influence of trypsin, chymotrypsin, papain, pronase, subtilisin and thermolysin on water permeability as well as on ATPase activity, H(+)-pump, passive H+ conductance, and Na+/H+ exchange in apical brush-border vesicles (BBMV) and endosomal (EV) vesicles from rat renal cortex. H+ transport was measured by Acridine orange fluorescence quenching and water transport by stopped-flow light scattering. As measured by potential-driven H+ accumulation in BBMV and EV, proteinase treatment had little effect on vesicle integrity. In BBMV, ecto-ATPase activity was inhibited by 15-30%, Na+/H+ exchange by 20-55%, and H+ conductance was unchanged. Osmotic water permeability (Pf) was 570 microns/s and was inhibited 85-90% by 0.6 mM HgCl2; proteinase treatment did not affect Pf or the HgCl2 inhibition. In EV, NEM-sensitive H+ accumulation and ATPase activity were inhibited by greater than 95%. Pf (140 microns/s) and HgCl2 inhibition (75-85%) were not influenced by proteinase treatment. SDS-PAGE showed selective digestion of multiple polypeptides by proteinases. These results confirm the presence of water channels in BBMV and EV and demonstrate selective inhibition of ATPase function and Na+/H+ exchange by proteinase digestion. The lack of effect of proteinases on water transport by mercurials. We conclude that the water channel may be a small integral membrane protein which, unlike the H(+)-ATPase and Na+/H+ exchanger, has no functionally important membrane domains that are sensitive to proteolysis.

A DNA helicase (delta helicase) which partially copurifies with DNA polymerase delta has been highly purified from fetal calf thymus. delta helicase differs in physical and enzymatic properties from other eukaryotic DNA helicases described thus far. The enzyme has an apparent mass of 57 kDa by gel filtration and is associated with polypeptides of 56 and 52 kDa by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Photo-cross-linking of the purified enzyme with [alpha-32P]ATP resulted in labeling of a polypeptide of approximately 58 kDa, suggesting that the active site is present on the larger polypeptide. Unwinding of a partial duplex requires a nucleoside triphosphate which can be either ATP or dATP but not a nonhydrolyzable analogue of ATP. Other ribo- and deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates have little or no activity as cofactors. delta helicase also has DNA-dependent ATPase activity which has a relatively low Km for ATP (40 microM). delta helicase binds to single-stranded DNA but has little or no affinity for double-stranded DNA or single-stranded RNA. Similar to replicative DNA helicases from prokaryotes and the herpes simplex virus type 1 helicase-primase, delta helicase translocates in the 5'-3' direction along the strand to which it is bound and preferentially unwinds DNA substrates with a forklike structure.

We have previously shown that tomato lectin binds specifically to the 60-90 kDa membrane glycoprotein of parietal cell tubulovesicles, the beta-subunit of the gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase (proton pump) [Callaghan, Toh, Pettitt, Humphris & Gleeson (1990) J. Cell Sci. 95, 563-576; Toh, Gleeson, Simpson, Mortiz, Callaghan, Goldkorn, Jones, Martinelli, Mu, Humphris, Pettitt, Mori, Masuda, Sobieszczuk, Weinstock, Mantamadiotis & Baldwin (1990) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 87, 6418-6422]. Here we have exploited this interaction for the development of a rapid single-step chromatography procedure for the purification of an active pig gastric proton pump complex. Initially, H+/K(+)-ATPase-enriched membranes, prepared from pig gastric microsomes by density-gradient centrifugation, were extracted in 1% Triton X-100 and passed through a 1 ml tomato lectin-Sepharose 4B column. The bound material, eluted with 20 mM-chitotriose, showed a major band with an apparent molecular mass of 95 kDa, and a faint broad band of 60-90 kDa, by SDS/PAGE. N-Glycanase treatment of the bound material resulted in the appearance of a 35 kDa band, the size of the protein core of the 60-90 kDa glycoprotein beta-subunit. The two components were identified as the 95 kDa alpha-subunit and the 60-90 kDa beta-subunit of the gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase, by immunoreactivity with monospecific antibodies, and by tryptic peptide sequences of the tomato-lectin-bound material. The beta-subunit was present in approximately equimolar amounts to the catalytic alpha-subunit. Whereas the gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase was not active after solubilization in 1% Triton X-100, solubilization of density-gradient-purified membranes in the non-ionic detergent, C12E8, followed by chromatography of the extract on tomato lectin-Sepharose 4B, resulted in the purification of the gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase complex which exhibited K(+)-dependent phosphatase activity. This is the first report of a rapid purification of a partially active solubilized gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase complex.

Proteins in human red cell hemolysate were purified to determine which of them increase inhibition of the Na,K-ATPase in the presence of 2 microM free Ca. Samples purified 600,000-fold inhibited the Na,K-ATPase of human red cells in a Ca-dependent manner and stimulated the (Ca+Mg)-ATPase. These samples contained two proteins as analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE): calmodulin (18,000 Mr), which comprised most (greater than 90%) of the total protein, and an unidentified protein of approximately 13,000 Mr. Both proteins were a distinctive light yellow when stained with silver. Calmodulin from bovine testes also inhibited the Na,K-ATPase and stimulated the (Ca+Mg)-ATPase. This preparation also contained two proteins as analyzed by SDS-PAGE: calmodulin (95 to 99% of the total protein) and another protein of approximately 13,000 Mr (1 to 5% of the total protein). Both were light yellow when stained with silver. Since the amount of red cell protein was limited, the remainder of the study was carried out with the bovine testes preparation. Heating the testes preparation decreased, but did not abolish, inhibition of the Na,K-ATPase and reduced stimulation of the (Ca+Mg)-ATPase. When corrected for denatured calmodulin, both heated and unheated proteins increased inhibition of the Na,K-ATPase to the same extent. The Na,K-ATPase was inhibited at 2 microM free Ca in a dose-dependent manner over a range of 15 to 100 nM calmodulin. To establish if the inhibition was due to the calmodulin or the 13,000 Mr protein, both were electroeluted after SDS-PAGE. Electroeluted calmodulin stimulated the (Ca+Mg)-ATPase and increased Ca inhibition of the Na,K-ATPase. Electroeluted amounts of the smaller Mr protein slightly stimulated the (Ca+Mg)-ATPase, but had no effect on the Na,K-ATPase. This protein was digested with cyanogen bromide, partially sequenced, and thereby identified as a fragment of calmodulin. We conclude that intact calmodulin increases inhibition of the Na,K-ATPase at 2 microM free Ca. We suggest that calmodulin is part of a mechanism mediating the effects of physiological free Ca on the Na,K-ATPase.

Protein mixed thioselenides formed by reaction of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) with diselenide biradical spin labels were quantified by ESR. Whereas the reaction of SR membranes with the diselenide spin label led to a large ESR signal of the unbound monoselenide at equilibrium, treatment of the reaction mixture with a few millimolar hydrogen peroxide converted all of the nitroxides to protein-bound thioselenides. This technique of spin-labeling protein thiols avoids the need to remove unreacted spin labels. The bound spin labels were removable by reduction with excess mercaptoethanol, indicating a specific and reversible labeling of protein thiols. SR that had been extensively labeled with the diselenide spin label was resistant to ATPase inactivation by potent oxidants that arise when myoglobin reacts with hydroperoxides. Unmodified SR lost all activity within 10 min of exposure to either 1 mM tert-butyl hydroperoxide in the presence of 200 microM equine myoglobin or to 100 mM hydrogen peroxide in the absence of myoglobin. In both cases the loss of activity could not be reversed by subsequent treatment with mercaptoethanol. On the other hand, membranes that had been extensively treated with the diselenide spin label and were then subjected to these peroxide treatments were fully active after mercaptoethanol-mediated cleavage of the thioselenides. ESR analysis of spin-labeled SR showed no detectable oxidative cleavage of the thioselenide bonds. Sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis showed that peroxide-mediated crosslinking of ATPase observed in unmodified SR membranes did not occur in the diselenide-modified SR membranes. Only limited protection was observed when SR pretreated with glutathione disulfide was incubated with hydroperoxides. In this case, however, the degree of protection was greatly increased when the reaction with glutathione disulfide was carried out in the presence of the supernatant of centrifuged rat liver homogenate, consistent with an acceleration of mixed disulfide formation by a factor tentatively identified as thiol transferase. It is concluded that conversion of protein thiol residues to either thioselenides or mixed disulfides confers protection against irreversible peroxide-dependent oxidation. We suggest that mixed disulfide formation by thiol transferase activity may help protect protein thiols from irreversible oxidation by heme-activated hydroperoxides.

The purpose of this study was to explore the role of singlet oxygen in cardiovascular injury. To accomplish this objective, we investigated the effect of singlet oxygen [generated from photoactivation of rose-bengal] on the calcium transport and Ca(2+)-ATPase activity of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum and compared these results with those obtained by superoxide radical, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radical. Isolated cardiac SR exposed to rose bengal (10 nM) irradiated at (560 nm) produced a significant inhibition of Ca2+ uptake; from 2.27 +/- 0.05 to 0.62 +/- 0.05 mumol Ca2+/mg.min (mean +/- SE) (P less than 0.01) and Ca(2+)-ATPase activity from 2.08 +/- 0.05 mumol Pi/min.mg to 0.28 +/- 0.04 mumol Pi/min.mg (mean +/- SE) (P less than 0.01). The inhibition of calcium uptake and Ca(2+)-ATPase activity by rose bengal derived activated oxygen (singlet oxygen) was dependent on the duration of exposure and intensity of light. The singlet oxygen scavengers ascorbic acid and histidine significantly protected SR Ca(2+)-ATPase against rose bengal derived activated oxygen species but superoxide dismutase and catalase did not attenuate the inhibition. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of SR exposed to photoactivated rose bengal up to 14 min, demonstrated complete loss of Ca(2+)-ATPase monomer band which was significantly protected by histidine. Irradiation of rose bengal also caused an 18% loss of total sulfhydryl groups of SR. On the other hand, superoxide (generated from xanthine oxidase action on xanthine) and hydroxyl radical (0.5 mM H2O2 + Fe(2+)-EDTA) as well as H2O2 (12 mM) were without any effect on the 97,000 dalton Ca(2+)-ATPase band of sarcoplasmic reticulum.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
