Simian virus 40 large T antigen is a helicase separating the complementary strands of double-stranded DNA in the presence of hydrolyzable ATP and of double-stranded RNA in the presence of non-ATP nucleotides (GTP, CTP or UTP). We have constructed partially single-stranded nucleic acid substrates consisting of RNA or DNA strands hydrogen bonded to either RNA or DNA complements. We found that ATP is utilized as a cofactor for the T-antigen-catalyzed unwinding reaction when the substrates contain overhanging single-stranded DNA, regardless of whether the double-stranded region is DNA or hybrid DNA.RNA. Conversely, non-ATP nucleotides are used when the overhanging single strand is RNA. Based on these and additional findings, we propose that the bound nucleic acid induces a conformational change in T antigen resulting in a proper orientation of both nucleic acid and nucleotide relative to the active center of the ATPase/helicase domain of the enzyme. The implications of our conclusion for the roles which T antigen may play in vivo are discussed.

A Ca2(+)-ATPase with a high affinity for free Ca2+ (apparent Km of 0.13 microM) was found and characterized in membrane fractions from porcine aortic and coronary artery smooth muscles in comparison with the plasma membrane Ca2(+)-pump ATPase purified from porcine aorta by calmodulin affinity chromatography. The activity of the high-affinity Ca2(+)-ATPase became enriched in a plasma membrane-enriched fraction, suggesting its localization in the plasma membrane. The enzyme was fully active in the absence of exogenously added Mg2+, but required a minute amount of Mg2+ for its activity as evidenced by the findings that it was fully active in the presence of 0.1 microM free Mg2+ but lost the activity in a reaction mixture containing trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid as a divalent cation chelator which has, unlike EGTA, high affinities for both Ca2+ and Mg2+. It was able to utilize a variety of nucleoside di- and triphosphates as substrates, such as ADP, GDP, ATP, GTP, CTP, and UTP, showing a broad substrate specificity. The activity of the enzyme was not modified by calmodulin (5, 10 micrograms/ml). Trifluoperazine, a calmodulin antagonist, had a partial inhibitory effect on the activity at 30 to 240 microM, but this inhibition could not be reproduced by a more specific calmodulin antagonist, W-7, indicating that this inhibition by trifluoperazine was not specific. Furthermore, the high-affinity Ca2(+)-ATPase activity was not modified either by low concentrations (0.5-9 microM) of vanadate or by 1-100 microM p-chloromercuribenzoic acid. Cyclic GMP, nitroglycerin, and nicorandil did not have any effect on the enzyme activity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

We have purified a DNA helicase from calf thymus to apparent homogeneity by monitoring the activity with a strand displacement assay. DNA helicase followed the DNA polymerase alpha-primase complex through chromatography on phosphocellulose and hydroxylapatite. Separation from DNA polymerase alpha-primase complex as well as from the bulk of another DNA-dependent ATPase was achieved on heparin-Sepharose. Further purification steps included ATP-agarose and fast protein liquid chromatography-Mono S. A 47-kDa polypeptide cosedimented with the DNA helicase activity in a glycerol gradient as well as in gel filtration on Superose 6. The calf thymus DNA helicase had a sedimentation coefficient of 4-7 S and Stokes radius of about 45 A suggesting that the enzyme might be monomer in its functional form. DNA helicase activity requires a divalent cation with Mg2+ being more efficient than Mn2+ or Ca2+. Hydrolysis of ATP is required since the two nonhydrolyzable ATP analogs adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) and adenylyl (beta, gamma-methylene)diphosphonate cannot substitute for ATP or dATP in the displacement reaction. Calf thymus DNA helicase is able to use ATP, dATP, dideoxy-ATP, CTP, and dCTP with Km for ATP and dATP of 0.2 and 0.25 mM, respectively. The enzyme can displace a fragment of 24 bases completely in an enzyme concentration- and time-dependent manner. The DNA helicase appears to bind to single-stranded DNA and to move to single-strand double-strand transition. The directionality of unwinding is 3'----5' with respect to the single-stranded DNA to which the enzyme is bound.

Examination of retinal tissue homogenates indicated the presence of a [Ca2+ + Mg2+]-dependent adenosinetriphosphatase activity that exhibited high affinity for Ca2+ (K0.5 = 0.17 microM) and moderately high affinity for Mg2+ and ATP (K0.5 = 12.5 microM and Km = 22.8 microM, respectively). Maximum ATP hydrolysis occurred at pH 7.4. Under conditions of optimal substrate, cation and hydrogen ion concentrations, specific activity ranged from 15 to 18 nmol phosphate released min-1 mg-1 protein. Although the retinal [Ca2+ + Mg2+] adenosinetriphosphatase hydrolyzes both ATP and dATP, other nucleotides (CTP, GTP, ITP and UTP) were not hydrolyzed to any great extent. The monovalent cations, Li+, K+ and Na+, had no effect upon hydrolysis of ATP; whereas Cs+ and NH4+ ions were moderately (approximately 30%) inhibitory. All divalent cations tested were stimulatory. With the exception of rotenone which inhibited ATP hydrolysis approximately 25%; retinal adenosinetriphosphatase activity was insensitive to mitochondrial inhibitors (NaN3, KCN, ruthenium red and oligomycin). Adenosinetriphosphatase activity was observed to be very sensitive to low concentrations (I50 approximately 2 microM) of vanadate; whereas, lanthanum administration resulted in no inhibition. Removal of calmodulin (80%) resulted in reducing adenosinetriphosphatase activity 60% but addition of exogenous calmodulin back to calmodulin deficient membranes did not restore activity to starting levels. Calmodulin antagonists trifluoperazine and calmidazolium reduced significantly Ca2+ stimulated, Mg2+ dependent ATP hydrolysis. We conclude that the [Ca2+ + Mg2+]-dependent adenosinetriphosphatase of bovine retina is a non-mitochondrial protein exhibiting very high affinity for Ca2+ and appears to require calmodulin for maximum activity. Because of its high affinity for Ca2+, this protein may play an important role in reducing intracellular Ca2+ to nanomolar levels.

ATPases were solubilized from membranes of Acetabularia acetabulum using nonanoyl-N-methylgluconamide and purified by ion-exchange and gel permeation chromatography. Three fractions of ATPase, Mono Q-I, -II, and -III, were separated. Activity in fraction Mono Q-I was very labile and could not be accurately determined. Fractions Mono Q-II and -III had specific activities of 0.6 and 6 units/mg of protein, respectively. By SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing, and peptide mapping, it was shown that fractions Mono Q-II and -III consisted of the same polypeptides with molecular masses of 54K (a-subunit) and 50K (b-subunit). Fractions Mono Q-II and -III had the following catalytic properties: pH optimum at 6.0; substrate specificity, ATP = GTP = ITP much greater than UTP = CTP (Km for ATP 0.6 mM); divalent cation requirement, Mn2+ = Mg2+ greater than Co2+ greater than Zn2+ much greater than Ca2+, Ni2+. Both activities were inhibited by monovalent anions, while monovalent cations had neither inhibitory nor stimulatory effects. Orthovanadate inhibited both activities to 50% at 1 mM, and the most effective inhibitor of both was azide (95% inhibition at 100 microM). An enzyme-phosphate complex was formed after incubation of fraction Mono Q-III with [gamma-32P]ATP. The CF1-ATPase subcomplexes were isolated from the same organism and compared with the fraction Mono Q-III. Data supported the difference of fraction Mono Q-III from CF1-ATPase.

The Ca2+ transport by sarcoplasmic reticulum fragments was studied. ATP, CTP, ITP, GTP and UTP provided the same Ca-pump efficiency. When the NTP was exhausted, Ca2+ actively accumulated from the sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles outflow, and with the higher rate of ATP was a substrate. The Ca-ATPase conformational transitions induced by ATP are discussed for their role in the provision of energy.

Vacuolar H(+)-ATPase was isolated from highly purified bovine kidney brush border, using a previously described immunoaffinity method. The affinity purified enzyme had reconstitutively active ATP-induced acidification that was inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide. The brush border H(+)-ATPase had a single pH optimum of 7.3, and a single Km for ATP of 360 microM. The enzyme showed no lipid activation; it had a substrate preference of ATP greater than ITP greater than UTP greater than GTP much greater than CTP, with an ATP:GTP selectivity of 1.69. The brush border H(+)-ATPase required no monovalent anion or cation for activity and was inhibited by the oxyanions NO3(-1) much greater than SO4(-2); sulfite stimulated activity at low concentrations and inhibited at higher concentrations. The inhibition produced by nitrate could not be attributed to dissociation of subunits from the enzyme. The divalent or trivalent cation preference was Mn+2 much greater than Mg+2 much greater than Co+2 greater than Al+3 greater than Ca+2 much greater than Ba+2,Sr+2; 1 mM Zn+2 inhibited the enzyme completely, but Cu+2 inhibited only 49% of activity at concentrations up to 5 mM. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels of the brush border H(+)-ATPase showed subunits at Mr 70,000, a doublet at 56,000, 45,000, 42,000, 38,000, 33,000, 31,000, 15,000, 14,000, and 12,000. On two-dimensional gels, the pl value for the Mr 70,000 subunit was 6.3, for the Mr 56,000 was 6.4, and for the Mr 31,000 was 7.5-8.5, and microheterogeneity was observed in the Mr 56,000 and 31,000 subunits. A comparison of kidney cortex brush border H(+)-ATPase with kidney cortex microsomal H(+)-ATPase revealed differences in pH optimum, Km for ATP, lipid dependence, substrate preference, divalent ion preference, copper sensitivity, and in microheterogeneity of the Mr 56,000 and 31,000 subunits, providing evidence that different functional and structural classes of vacuolar H(+)-ATPase are segregated to specific membrane compartments.

A single-stranded DNA-dependent ATPase that cofractionates during the early stages of purification of a multiprotein DNA polymerase alpha complex from HeLa cells has been purified to homogeneity. The ATPase is part of a 16S multienzyme DNA polymerase alpha complex that is fully active in SV40 DNA replication in vitro. The ATPase hydrolyzes ATP to ADP in a reaction that is completely dependent on the presence of DNA. DNA in single-stranded form is strongly preferred as a cofactor, and polydeoxynucleotides with adenine or thymidine residues are highly effective. Glycerol gradient sedimentation showed that the purified ATPase sedimented at an s20,w of 7 S, and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under denaturing conditions reveals two polypeptides with relative molecular weights of 83,000 and 68,000. Both of these polypeptides have purine nucleotide binding sites as revealed by photoaffinity cross-linking experiments. ATP binds to the two subunits more efficiently than GTP, and CTP or UTP does not cross-link with the two polypeptides. DNA synthesis catalyzed by purified HeLa cell DNA polymerase alpha-primase is stimulated in the presence of ATPase and ATP at an optimum concentration of 2 mM. Analysis of the DNA product by gel electrophoresis indicates that with poly(dT) but not phage M13 DNA as template the ATPase overcomes a lag and decreases the length of nascent DNA chains synthesized by the DNA polymerase alpha-primase complex.

With a purified Na+/K(+)-ATPase preparation reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles, Na+/K+, Na+/Na+, and uncoupled Na+ transport were studied using three nucleotides and five substrates of the K(+)-phosphatase reaction that this enzyme also catalyzes. For Na+/K+ exchange, CTP was half as effective as ATP and GTP one-twentieth; of the phosphatase substrates only carbamyl phosphate and 3-O-methylfluorescein phosphate produced significant transport and at merely 1% of the rate with ATP. For Na+/Na+ exchange, comparable rates of transport were produced by ATP, CTP, carbamyl phosphate and acetyl phosphate, although the actual rate of transport with ATP was only 2.4% of that for Na+/K+ exchange; slower rates occurred with GTP (69%), 3-O-methylfluorescein phosphate (51%), and nitrophenyl phosphate (33%). Only umbelliferone phosphate was ineffective. For uncoupled Na+ transport results similar to those for Na+/Na+ exchange were obtained, but the actual rate of transport was still slower, 1.4% of that for Na+/K+ exchange. Thus, not only nucleotides but a variety of phosphatase substrates (which are phosphoric acid mixed anhydrides) can phosphorylate the enzyme at the high-affinity substrate site to form the E1P intermediate of the reaction sequence. Oligomycin inhibited Na+/K+ exchange with ATP by half, but with carbamyl phosphate not at all; with CTP the inhibition was intermediate, one-fourth. By contrast, oligomycin inhibited Na+/Na+ exchange by one-fifth with all three substrates. A quantitative, steady-state kinetic model accounts for the relative magnitudes of Na+/K+ and Na+/Na+ exchanges with ATP, CTP, and carbamyl phosphate as substrates, as well as the extents of inhibition by oligomycin. The model requires that even when Na+ substitutes for K+ a slow step in the reaction sequence is the E2 to E1 conformational transition.

Polyoma virus large tumor antigen (PyV T antigen) has been purified to near homogeneity by immunoaffinity column chromatography. We have detected DNA helicase and ATPase (nucleoside-5'-triphosphatase) activities in the purified PyV T antigen fraction and characterized these activities. The ATPase activity was stimulated about 2-fold by poly(dT), which was the most effective stimulator among the synthetic polynucleotides tested. Natural nucleic acids, such as calf thymus native and heat-denatured DNA, and single-stranded circular fd DNA were also effective, but the degree of stimulation was less than 1.5-fold. The basal and poly(dT)-stimulated ATPase activities showed similar preference for nucleoside 5'-triphosphates, requirement for divalent cations, and pH optima. The preference for nucleoside 5'-triphosphates was ATP, dATP greater than CTP, UTP much greater than GTP. The only difference observed between the two activities was salt sensitivity. The basal ATPase activity was resistant to KC1 up to 300 mM. In contrast, poly-(dT)-stimulated activity was reduced to the level of basal activity at 300 mM KC1. DNA helicase activity required divalent cations and was dependent on hydrolysis of ATP. The activity showed similar preference for nucleoside 5'-triphosphates, requirement for divalent cations, and pH optimum as the two ATPase activities, and the salt sensitivity of DNA helicase activity was similar to that of poly(dT)-stimulated ATPase activity. The helicase activity was inhibited competitively by the addition of single-stranded or double-stranded DNA, and a relatively high inhibitory activity was observed with poly [d(A-T)]. The PyV T antigen helicase was found to migrate in the 3' to 5' direction along the DNA strand to which the protein bound.
