1. Activity of the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase of erythrocyte membrane may be enhanced by a cytoplasmic protein activator. The presence of Ca2+ is necessary for the ionic strength-dependent interaction between the erythrocyte membrane and the activator. This is true no matter the purity of activator (unfractionated hemolysis supernatant or partially purified activator) or the major source of ionic strength (imidazole or NaCl). 2. When the endogenous activator enhances (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity of the erythrocyte membrane, there is a physical association between activator and membrane. This association is not disrupted by a decrease in ionic strength to 0.005 but is reversed by exposure to 5 mM ethyleneglycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N'-tetraacetic acid. 3. Activator binding necessary for enhancement of (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity may occur during preparation of membranes or during incubation for assay of ATPase.

Active transport of calcium into inside-out vesicles of red blood cell membranes was stimulated equally by (i) the purified protein activator of calcium-activated, magnesium-dependent adenosinetriphosphatase isolated from red cell hemolyzates and (ii) calmodulin, a protein activator of cylic nucleotide phosphodiesterase isolated from bovine brain. The results provide further evidence for the identity of red blood cell activator and calmodulin and show that this cytoplasmic protein may participate in the regulation of plasma membrane calcium transport.

Human red blood cells (RBCs) contain a cytoplasmic protein that activates membrane-bound (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase and the transport of Ca2+. The (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase of sickle cells showed a less than normal response to this activator. This was true whether the activator was obtained from normal or sickle cells. Activator present in sickle cell hemolysates fully activated the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase of normal RBC membranes. These results demonstrate that membranes of sickle cells are defective in their response to the activator. Neither the apparent affinity for calcium nor the apparent affinity for activator was different comparing the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase of sickle and normal membranes. Young, mature, and irreversibly sickled cells were separated by density gradient centrifugation, and membranes were prepared from each of these cell populations. No significant differences in ATPase activities were found based on cell age (density). The (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase of all populations of sickle cells showed a decreased response to the activator. Thus, it appears unlikely that the decreased response of the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase of sickle cells is due to membrane damage caused by repeated sickling during the life-span of the cell. Reduced activation of (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase by the cytoplasmic activator may account for calcium accumulation in sickle cells.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the contribution of mitochondrial and cytoplasmic protein synthesis to the biogenesis of cytochrome oxidase (ferrocytochrome c:oxygen oxidoreductase EC 1.9.3.1) and rutamycin-sensitive adenosine triphosphatase (ATP phosphohydrolase EC 3.6.1.3) in cultured oocytes of the toad, Xenopus laevis. X. laevis cytochrome oxidase was purified over 23-fold with respect to specific activity and over 29-fold with respect to specific heme a content from oocyte submitochondrial particles. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate separated the enzyme into six subunits with molecular weights of 44,000, 33,000, 23,000, 17,000, 12,000 and 9,500. the synthesis of the three larger subunits is sensitive to chloramphenicol (an inhibitor of mitochondrial protein synthesis), indicating that these subunits are made on mitochondrial ribosomes; the synthesis of the three smaller subunits is sensitive to cycloheximide (an inhibitor of cytoplasmic protein synthesis) and therefore occurs on cytoplasmic ribosomes. X. laevis rutamycin-sensitive ATPase, purified over 19-fold from oocyte submitochondrial pparticles, consists of 10 subunits with molecular weights of 56,000, 53,000, 41,000, 32,000, 29,000, 24,000, 21,000, 17,500 (2), and 11,500 on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. The 29,000, 21,000, and one of the 17,500-dalton polypeptides are synthesized in the presence of cycloheximide and are, therefore, products of mitochondrial protein synthesis; the synthesis of the remaining seven subunits occurs in the presence of chloramphenicol, indicating that these subunits are made on cytoplasmic ribosomes. The synthesis of protein by mitochondria in cultured oocytes appears to be dependent upon cytoplasmic protein synthesis. In the presence of cycloheximide, the mitoribosomal synthesis of the subunits of cytochrome oxidase and rutamycin-sensitive ATPase is detectable only after a prior inhibition of mitochondrial protein synthesis by chloramphenicol. Oocyte mitochondrial ribosomes synthesize at least nine polypeptides after chloramphenicol treatment, three of which are components of neither cytochrome oxidase nor rutamycin-sensitive ATPase.

The hydrophobic, photoactivatable probe TID [3-trifluoromethyl-3-(m-[125I]iodophenyl)diazirine] was used to label the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The H(+)-ATPase accounted for 43% of the total label associated with plasma membrane protein and incorporated 0.3 mol of [125I]TID per mol of 100 kDa polypeptide. The H(+)-ATPase was purified by octyl glucoside extraction and glycerol gradient centrifugation, and was cleaved by either cyanogen bromide digestion or limited tryptic proteolysis to isolate labeled fragments. Cyanogen bromide digestion resulted in numerous labeled fragments of mass less than 21 kDa. Seven fragments suitable for microsequence analysis were obtained by electrotransfer to poly(vinylidene difluoride) membranes. Five different regions of amino-acid sequence were identified, including fragments predicted to encompass both membrane-spanning and cytoplasmic protein structure domains. Most of the labeling of the cytoplasmic domain was concentrated in a region comprising amino acids 347 to 529. This catalytic region contains the site of phosphorylation and was previously suggested to be hydrophobic in character (Goffeau, A. and De Meis, L. (1990) J. Biol. 265, 15503-15505). Complementary labeling information was obtained from an analysis of limited tryptic fragments enriched for hydrophobic character. Six principal labeled fragments, of 29.6, 20.6, 16, 13.1, 11.4 and 9.7 kDa, were obtained. These fragments were found to comprise most of the putative transmembrane region and a portion of the cytoplasmic region that overlapped with the highly labeled active site-containing cyanogen bromide fragment. Overall, the extensive labeling of protein structure domains known to lie outside the bilayer suggests that [125I]TID labeling patterns cannot be unambiguously interpreted for the purpose of discerning membrane-embedded protein structure domains. It is proposed that caution should be applied in the interpretation of [125I]TID labeling patterns of the yeast plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase and that new and diverse approaches should be developed to provide a more definitive topology model.

The Kdp system of Escherichia coli, a transport ATPase with high affinity for potassium, is expressed when turgor pressure is low. Expression requires KdpD, a 99-kDa membrane protein, and KdpE, a 25-kDa soluble cytoplasmic protein. The sequences of KdpD and KdpE show they are members of the sensor-effector class of regulatory proteins: the C-terminal half of KdpD is homologous to sensors such as EnvZ and PhoR, and KdpE is homologous to effectors such as OmpR and PhoB. The predicted structure of KdpD suggests that it is anchored to the membrane by four membrane-spanning segments near its middle, with both C- and N-terminal portions in the cytoplasm. Subcellular fractionation confirms the expected location of the protein in the inner membrane. The N-terminal region has no homology to known proteins and is the site of mutations that make Kdp expression partially constitutive; this portion may serve to sense turgor pressure. Since several other sensor-effectors have been shown to mediate control through phosphorylation, this mechanism is proposed to control expression of Kdp.

A soluble form of the b subunit of the F0 sector of the F1F0-ATPase of Escherichia coli has been produced, purified, and characterized. In this form of the protein, designated bsol, residues 25-146 (the carboxyl terminus) of b have been fused to an amino-terminal octapeptide extension derived from the vector pUC8. The inferred subunit molecular weight of bsol is 15,459. bsol protein was expressed in E. coli as a soluble cytoplasmic protein and was readily purified to homogeneity by conventional methods. The molecular weight of bsol, determined by sedimentation equilibrium, was 31,200, indicating that the protein is dimeric. Chemical cross-linking studies supported this conclusion. However, bsol sedimented with a coefficient of just 1.8 S and behaved on size exclusion chromatography with an apparent molecular weight of 80,000-85,000. These results indicate that the protein exists in solution as a highly elongated dimer. The circular dichroism spectrum indicated that bsol is highly alpha-helical. Binding of bsol to F1-ATPase was directly demonstrated by size exclusion chromatography. bsol also inhibited the binding of F1-ATPase to F1-depleted membrane vesicles, as measured by reconstitution of energy-dependent quinacrine fluorescence quenching. This result implies that bsol and F0 compete for binding to the same site on F1. The apparently normal interaction of bsol with F1-ATPase strongly suggests that the recombinant protein assumes the correct structure. No substantial effects of bsol on the ATPase activity of purified F1 were observed.

We have determined the nucleotide (nt) and deduced amino acid (aa) sequence of a unique 115-kDa Mycoplasma hyorhinis protein (P115) with an N-terminal region containing a highly conserved consensus sequence characteristics of nt-binding domains of several ATPase and GTPase enzymes. However, P115 lacked additional conserved features characteristic of some classes of nt-binding proteins. Based on the hydropathy profile of the deduced aa sequence, the absence of a leader peptide, its exclusive partitioning into the hydrophilic phase during Triton X-114 phase fractionation of M. hyorhinis, and immunofluorescence analysis indicating no surface-exposed domains, it was concluded that P115 is a cytoplasmic protein lacking intrinsic membrane interaction. M. hyorhinis P115 appears to be a species-specific protein, since it was not detected in any other mycoplasmal or bacterial species examined with specific antibody or genomic probes. Since genetic systems for direct mutational analysis are currently unavailable in this organism, sequence analysis provides critical information in establishing the possible function of this protein. Moreover, the nt sequence encoding P115 reported here supports a previously proposed model, based on synthesis of P115-related proteins in Escherichia coli, suggesting that multiple polypeptide products can be generated from mycoplasma genes by promiscuous translation initiation in this heterologous expression system.

This review presents the theory of solute transport across frog skin, epithelial cells of the intestine, the kidney tubules, and other similar systems. This theory is a part of a broader theory of the living cell, called the association-induction hypothesis. The central pumping mechanism is the cyclic activity of a sponge-like cytoplasmic protein(s), which alternately sop-up (by adsorption) the solute being transported and squeeze it out again (by desorption) into the cytoplasmic water at a high concentration level. The uptake phase begins with the adsorption of ATP on key cardinal sites of the protein involved; the release phase is triggered by the desorption of ATP through its dephosphorylation during a transitory activation of an ATPase. The theory recognizes the different nature of the two surfaces of the epithelial cells and assigns to each a key role in the active transport. The surface facing the "source solution" has a higher permeability to the solute being transported, while the surface facing the "sink solution" has a low permeability to the solute. This asymmetry in permeability insures that the solute sopped up by the cytoplasmic protein(s) comes primarily from the source solution. Depolarization of the water of the cell surface facing the sink solution (but not that facing the source solution) insures that the solute released into the cytoplasmic water during the squeezing phase leaves the cell only through the opposite surface as that where the solute has entered the cell.

A cytoplasmic protein has been identified that inhibits the guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) activity of bacterially synthesized, cellular H-Ras protein. This GTPase inhibiting protein is able to counteract the activity of GTPase activating protein (GAP), which has been postulated to function as a negative regulator of Ras activity. The potential biological importance of the GTPase inhibiting protein is further supported by its interaction with lipids. Phospholipids produced in cells as a consequence of mitogenic stimulation increase the activity of the GTPase inhibiting protein, as well as inhibit the activity of GAP. The interaction of such lipids with each of these two regulatory proteins would, therefore, tend to increase the biological activity of Ras and stimulate cell proliferation.
