Showdomycin [2-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)maleimide] is a nucleoside antibiotic containing a maleimide ring and which is structurally related to uridine. Showdomycin inhibited rat brain (Na+ + K+)-ATPase irreversibly by an apparently bimolecular reaction with a rate constant of about 11.01-mol- minus 1-min- minus 1. Micromolar concentrations of ATP protected against this inhibition but uridine triphosphate or uridine were much less effective. In the presence of K+, 100 MUM ATP was unable to protect against inhibition by showdomycin. These observations show that showdomycin inhibits (Na+ + K+)-ATPase by reacting with a specific chemical group or groups at the nucleotide-binding site on this enzyme. Inhibition by showdomycin appears to be more selective for this site than that due to tetrathionate or N-ethylmaleimide. Since tetrathionate is a specific reactant for sulfhydryl groups it appears likely that the reactive groups are sulfhydryl groups. The data thus show that showdomycin is a relatively selective nucleotide-site-directed inhibitor of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and inhibiton is likely due to the reaction of showdomycin with sulfhydryl group(s) at the nucleotide-binding site on this enzyme.

Currently N-acetoxy-N-acetyl-2-aminofluorene is favored by many investigators to be a model of the ultimate electrophilic carcinogenic agent derived metabolically from the carcinogen N-acetyl-2-aminofluprene. The model induced in vitro a delayed ATP energized increase in mitochondrial volume as indicated by the decrease in absorbancy at 520 nm. The ATP energized decrease in absorbancy was inhibited by rutamycin, 2,4-dinitrophenol and a high level of antimycin known to induce ATPase activity. The known to inhibit respiration without inducing ATPase activity. Malate or potassium ion did not affect the phenomenon, however, sulfate ion which has been implicated in liver carcinogenesis shortened the induction period. Showdomycin stimulated the phenomenon. N-Acetoxy-N-acetyl-2-aminofluorene interacts with the machinery of oxidative phosphorylation. N-Acetoxy-N-acetyl-2-aminofluorene was enzymically converted by the mitochondria to N-hydroxy-N-acetyl-2-aminofluorene. These findings extend the experimental confluence of oxidative phosphorylation with carcinogenesis.

Showdomycin, a very slowly penetrating SH reagent, hardly affected the histamine release induced by any of secretagogues tested, suggesting no exposure of sulfhydryl groups involved in the granule secretion process on the cell surface. N-ethylmaleimide(NEM), a considerably penetrating SH reagent, almost completely inhibited histamine release induced by secretagogues such as compound 48/80, polymyxin B, concanavalin A or digitonin at 100 microM and by A23187 at 500 microM. However, (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase activity was hardly inhibited by NEM modification at 500 microM. These findings suggest that plasma membrane divalent cation-activated ATPase is not involved directly in the granule secretion process of mast cells.

Showdomycin inhibited pig brain (Na+ + K+)-ATPase with pseudo first-order kinetics. The rate of inhibition by showdomycin was examined in the presence of 16 combinations of four ligands, i.e., Na+, K+, Mg2+ and ATP, and was found to depend on the ligands added. Combinations of ligands were divided into five groups in terms of the magnitude of the rate constant; in the order of decreasing rate constants these were: (1) Na+ + Mg2+ + ATP, (2) Mg2+, Mg2+ + K+, K+ and none, (3) Na+ + Mg2+, Na+, K+ + Na+ and Na+ + K+ + Mg2+, (4) Mg2+ + K+ + ATP, K+ + ATP and Mg2+ + ATP, (5) K+ + Na + + ATP, Na+ + ATP, Na+ + K+ + Mg2+ + ATP and ATP. The highest rate was obtained in the presence of Na+, Mg2+ and ATP. The apparent concentrations of Na+, Mg2+ and ATP for half-maximum stimulation of inhibition (KS0.5) were 3 mM, 0.13 mM and 4 MicroM, respectively. The rate was unchanged upon further increase in Na+ concentration from 140 to 1000 mM. The rates of inhibition could be explained on the basis of the enzyme forms present, including E1, E2, ES, E1-P and E2-P, i. e., E2 has higher reactivity with showdomycin than E1, while E2-P has almost the same reactivity as E1-P. We conclude that the reaction of (Na+ + K+)- ATPase proceeds via at least four kinds of enzyme form (E1, E2, E1 . nucleotide and EP), which all have different conformations.
