The activity of calcium-stimulated ATPase (E.C. 3.6.1.3) in homogenates of the secretory enamel organ of rat incisors was studied biochemically. ATP hydrolysis was estimated from the amount of inorganic phosphate liberated. An analysis of the total degradation of ATP was initially performed to ensure that the enzyme assays pertained to the original substrate, ATP, and were not influenced by reaction products formed. Standard incubations were run in tris-maleate buffer, pH 8.2, with 3 mM ATP, 3 mM Ca2+ and 0.5 mM R 8231 at 37 degrees C. The presence of R 8231 was necessary to inhibit nonspecific alkaline phosphatase. The calcium-stimulated ATPase was completely inhibited when heated at 55-60 degrees C for 5 min. The pH optimum was found to be 8.2. The hydrolysis was substantially dependent on Ca2+ and was fastest when the ATP:Ca2+ ratio was 1:1. High substrate concentrations inhibited the hydrolysis. The addition of 1 mM Zn2+ and Ni2+ to the incubation medium markedly inhibited the hydrolysis as did, though less strongly, p-hydroxymercuribenzoate, oligomycin, EDTA and ruthenium red. l-Cysteine, mercaptoethanol, iodoacetic acid and sodium azide were without effect. F- was without effect unless added to a final concentration above 15 mM to media where Ca2+ had first been allowed to react with ATP.

The influence of sulfhydryl reagents on ATPase systems of rabbit sceletal muscles nuclei was studied. It is found that p-ChMB at low concentration similarly inhibits both Mg2+- and Mg2+, Ca2+-ATPases. p-ChMB at higher concentrations inhibits completely Mg2+, Ca2+-ATPase, while Mg2+- ATPase--only by 60%. N-EM is lesser specific inhibitor of SH-groups, than p-ChMB. The degree of nuclear ATPases inhibition by N-EM is practically identical. Using inhibitory analysis, two hypes of skeletal muscles nuclei SH-groups are found: easily reacting with N-EM, and those reacting with N-EM at more high concentrations, which are essential for ATPase ATP-hydrolysing activity. ATP defends Mg2+, Ca2+-ATPase, but not the Mg2+-ATPase from N-EM inhibitory action. Cysteine completely eliminates the inhibitory effect of p-ChMB on Mg2+-ATPase but only 40% on MG2+, Ca2+-ATPase. Mg2+, Ca2+-ATPase of nuclei is more sensitive to the sulfhydryl venoms action than Mg2+-ATPase.

Characterization of a butanol-solubilized protein isolated from chloroplast membranes is reported. The proteolipid, which specifically and covalently binds dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, has an apparent molecular weight of 8,000 in dodecylsulfate electrophoresis. The minimum molecular weight calculated from amino acid analysis data is 7,700. N-Formyl-methionine was determined to be the N-terminal amino acid. Glycine, alanine and leucine were present in elevated amounts, resulting in a polarity of 29%. Cysteine and histidine were lacking. In high-voltage electrophoresis the peptide appeared as a single homogenous spot which migrated, at pH 6.5, with the relative mobility of glycine. At concentrations where dicyclohexylcarbodiimide inhibited ATPase activity maximally (20 nmol per mg membrane protein), 0.17 nmol dicyclohexylcarbodiimide was covalently bound per nmol isolated proteolipid, indicating that one out of six molecules of proteolipid was labeled.

A single gene, VMA1, encodes the 69-kDa subunit of the vacuolar membrane H(+)-ATPase in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We have proposed that the subunit is synthesized as a precursor of 120 kDa (1,071 amino acids) and then converted to the 69-kDa form by an unusual processing reaction, which removes the internal domain of 454 amino acids (residues 284-737) and joins the N- and C-terminal domains. Cysteine to serine mutations at residues 284 and 738, the residues that bracket the internal domain, were introduced into the VMA1 gene by site-directed mutagenesis, and the mutant genes were expressed in a null vma1 mutant. Cells harboring either of the mutant vma1 genes accumulate nonfunctional fragments of the subunit. The mutation of Cys-284 inhibited the cleavage of the N-terminal junction site. Cys-738-->Ser mutation appeared to block the processing at both junction sites although the mutant gene yielded a small fraction of the functional 69-kDa subunit.

Cysteine residues have been exchanged for serine residues at positions 10 and 108 in the epsilon subunit of the Escherichia coli F1 ATPase by site-directed mutagenesis to create two mutants, epsilon-S10C and epsilon-S108C. These two mutants and wild-type enzyme were reacted with [14C]N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) to examine the solvent accessibility of Cys residues and with novel photoactivated cross-linkers, tetrafluorophenyl azide-maleimides (TFPAM's), to examine near-neighbor relationships of subunits. In native wild-type F1 ATPase, NEM reacted with alpha subunits at a maximal level of 1 mol/mol of enzyme (1 mol/3 alpha subunits) and with the delta subunit at 1 mol/mol of enzyme; other subunits were not labeled by the reagent. In the mutants epsilon-S10C and epsilon-S108C, Cys10 and Cys108, respectively, were also labeled by NEM, indicating that these are surface residues. Reaction of wild-type enzyme with TFPAM's gave cross-linking of the delta subunit to both alpha and beta subunits. Reaction of the mutants with TFPAM's also cross-linked delta to alpha and beta and in addition formed covalent links between Cys10 of the epsilon subunit and the gamma subunit and between Cys108 of the epsilon subunit and the alpha subunit. The yield of cross-linking between sites on epsilon and other subunits depended on the nucleotide conditions used; this was not the case for delta-alpha or delta-beta cross-linked products. In the presence of ATP+EDTA the yield of cross-linking between epsilon-Cys10 and gamma was high (close to 50%) while the yield of epsilon-Cys108 and alpha was low (around 10%).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The change in reaction energetics of the bicarbonate-dependent ATPase reaction of Escherichia coli carbamoyl phosphate synthetase has been investigated for two site-directed mutations of the essential cysteine in the small subunit. Cysteine 269 has been proposed to facilitate the hydrolysis of glutamine by the formation of a glutamyl-thioester intermediate. The two mutant enzymes, C269S and C269G, along with the isolated large subunit, exhibit a 2-2.6-fold increase in the bicarbonate-dependent ATPase reaction relative to that observed for the wild type enzyme. In the presence of glutamine the overall enhancement is 3.7 and 9.0 for the C269G and C269S mutant enzymes, respectively. Carboxyphosphate is an intermediate in the bicarbonate-dependent ATPase reaction. The cause of the rate enhancements was investigated by measuring the positional isotope exchange rate in [gamma-18O4] ATP relative to the net rate of ATP hydrolysis. This ratio (Vex/Vchem) is a measure of the partitioning of the enzyme-carboxyphosphate-ADP complex. The partitioning ratio for the mutants is identical within experimental error to that observed for the wild type enzyme. This observation is consistent with the conclusion that the ground state for the enzyme-carboxyphosphate-ADP complex in the mutants is destabilized relative to the same complex in the wild type enzyme. If the increase in the absolute rate of ATP hydrolysis was due to a stabilization of the transition state for carboxyphosphate hydrolysis then the positional isotope exchange rate relative to the chemical hydrolysis rate would have been expected to decrease in the mutants.

Effects of reactive oxygen intermediates generated by hypoxanthine plus xanthine oxidase on the Ca(2+)-adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) of sarcoplasmic reticulum from bovine aortic smooth muscle were studied. Exogenous hypoxanthine (0.1-100 microM) plus xanthine oxidase (10 mU/ml) produced an hypoxanthine concentration-dependent inhibition of the Ca(2+)-ATPase. The inhibition could be completely blocked by superoxide dismutase (100 U/ml) but not by either mannitol (20 mM) or deferoxamine (100 microM). Direct addition of hydrogen peroxide in the micromolar range did not cause significant inhibition. These results suggest that superoxide is the primary damaging species. Cysteine blocked this inhibition, suggesting possible involvement of sulfhydryl groups in the inhibition mechanism. Additionally, 1.16 +/- 0.17 mU/g wet wt of xanthine oxidase activity was detected in the postnuclear supernatant of bovine aortic smooth muscle, suggesting the existence of a possible intracellular source of superoxide. This value was calculated to be approximately 5 mU/ml by using a usual value of vascular smooth muscle cellular volume. Thus the level of endogenous xanthine oxidase in vascular smooth muscle is comparable with the level of exogenous xanthine oxidase used in the present study. These findings suggest a potential role of xanthine oxidase-generated superoxide in oxidative damage to vascular smooth muscle during a number of pathophysiological conditions.

The hepatotoxicity of CCl4 is mediated through its initial reduction by cytochrome P-450 to the CCl3.radical. This radical then damages important metabolic systems such as the ATP-dependent microsomal Ca2+ pump. Previous studies from our laboratory on isolated microsomes have shown that NADPH in the absence of toxic agents inhibits this pump. We have now found in in vitro incubations that CCl4 (0.5-2.5 mM) enhanced the NADPH-dependent inhibition of Ca2+ uptake from 28% without CCl4 to a maximum of 68%. These concentrations are in the range found in the livers and blood of lethally intoxicated animals (Dambrauskas, T., and Cornish, H. H. (1970) Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol. 17, 83-97; Long, R.M., and Moore, L. (1988) Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol. 92, 295-306) and are toxic to cultured hepatocytes (Long, R. M., and Moore, L. (1988) Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol. 92, 295-306). The inhibition of Ca2+ uptake was due both to a decrease in the Ca2(+)-dependent ATPase and to an enhanced release of Ca2+ from the microsomes. The NADPH-dependent CCl4 inhibition was greater under N2 and was totally prevented by CO. GSH (1-10 mM) added during the incubation with CCl4 prevented the inhibition. This protection was also seen when the incubations were performed under nitrogen. When samples were preincubated with CCl4, the CCl4 metabolism was stopped, and then the Ca2+ uptake was determined; GSH reversed the CCl4 inhibition of Ca2+ uptake. This reversal showed saturation kinetics for GSH with two Km values of 0.315 and 93 microM when both the preincubation and the Ca2+ uptake were performed under air, and 0.512 and 31 microM when both were performed under nitrogen. Cysteine did not prevent the NADPH-dependent CCl4 inhibition of Ca2+ uptake. CCl4 increased lipid peroxidation in air, but no lipid peroxidation was seen under nitrogen. Lipid peroxidation was only modestly reversed by GSH. GSH did not remove 14C bound to samples preincubated with the 14CCl4. Although EDTA (100 microM) decreased the CCl4 inhibition, the metal-complexing agents deferoxamine (100 microM) and diethyldithiocarbamate (100 microM) had no effect on the inhibition of the pump. Similarly, the reactive oxygen scavengers catalase (65 micrograms/ml), superoxide dismutase (15 micrograms/ml), mannitol (10 mM), and dimethyl sulfoxide (50 mM) also had no effect. Our results suggest that the initial toxicity of CCl4 for the Ca2+ pump results from the metabolism of CCl4 to the CCl3. radical. This radical then directly oxidizes the Ca2+ pump, leading to decreased Ca2+ uptake.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Chicken gizzard myosin treated with 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD-Cl) resulted in a 65% inhibition of the K(+)-ATPase (myosin ATP phosphohydrolase (actin translocating), EC 3.6.1.32) activity and 3.5 mol of the reagent was bound per 4.7 x 10(5) g protein. The labeling was limited to the heavy chain region and none of the light chains were lost. MgATP had no effect on the inactivation or labeling pattern. Thiolysis of NBD-myosin with dithiothreitol restored the K(+)-ATPase activity and concurrently, 1 mol of the NBD group was removed from the heavy chain region. Cysteine residues were modified in NBD-myosin at sites other than the active site when the enzyme activity was inhibited. There was a difference in the extent of NBD-Cl modification of gizzard myosin at 0.6 M KCl (6 S elongated state) when compared to that at 0.15 M KCl (10 S folded state). This was also seen in the heavy meromyosin-like chymotryptic fragments and tryptic fragments of NBD-myosin. The reagent NBD-Cl can detect changes in the conformation of gizzard myosin by way of its reaction with thiol groups of the heavy chain region.

The (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase (Ca2+-transporting), EC 3.6.1.38) protein of rabbit skeletal sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) rapidly incorporated 2 mol of 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD-Cl) per 10(5) g of protein with little change in the Ca2+-dependent ATPase activity. When 2 additional mol of the reagent were bound the Ca2+-ATPase, activity was inhibited. The same pattern was found for modified intact SR and the Ca2+ uptake ability was inhibited. MgATP, CaATP and MgADP protected the Ca2+-ATPase activity concurrent with a decrease of about 1 mol of the NBD group per 10(5) g protein, but the Ca2+ uptake ability was not protected. Calcium alone had no effect on the modification. The modified ATPase protein or SR formed non-serial oligomers or aggregates, but the ATPase protein remained the predominant species present. In the presence of MgATP, oligomer formation was reduced partially but the major changes in the Ca2+-ATPase activity were due to the modification of the ATPase monomer. Thiolysis of the NBD-ATPase protein with dithiothreitol did not restore the Ca2+-ATPase activity, although more than 1 mol of the NBD group was removed from cysteine residues. Cysteine residues were modified in the NBD-ATPase protein or SR when the enzyme activity was inhibited. Trypsin digestion of NBD-SR or its ATPase protein released the A, B, A1, and A2 fragments. The A fragment and its subfragment A2 contained most of the label. Substrate MgATP protection studies showed that the A1 and A2 fragments were involved in maintaining the Ca2+-ATPase activity. Reagent-induced conformational changes of these fragments rather than direct active site group labeling accounted for the loss of ATPase activity.
