The products of the arsenical resistance operon of resistance plasmid R733 form an efflux system for arsenicals. Detoxification results from active efflux of the oxyanions, preventing their concentration from reaching toxic levels. The largest polypeptide encoded by the ars operon was purified. From N-terminal sequencing the purified protein, termed the ArsA protein, was shown to correspond to the product of the arsA gene. The purified protein was demonstrated to bind ATP by two methods. First, a photoadduct of the protein with [alpha-32P]ATP was formed by irradiation at 254 nm. Second, the purified protein bound a fluorescent ATP analogue, 2',3'-o-(2,4,6)trinitrophenyl ATP, with a half-maximal affinity of 2 microM. By both assays competition was observed with ATP or ADP, but not with AMP, GTP, CTP, or UTP. In both nucleotide binding assays, Mg2+ was required, but neither arsenite nor antimonate had any affect. In contrast, the ArsA protein exhibited an ATPase activity which was dependent on the presence of arsenite or antimonate. The results suggest that the ArsA protein is the catalytic subunit of an oxyanion-translocating ATPase.

We have shown that the rat liver plasma membrane has at least two (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPases. One of them has the properties of a plasma membrane Ca2+-pump (Lin, S.-H. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 7850-7856); the other one, which we have purified (Lin, S.-H., and Fain, J.N. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 3016-3020) and characterized (Lin, S.-H. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 10976-10980) has no established function. In this study we present evidence that the purified (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase is a plasma membrane ecto-ATPase. In hepatocytes in primary culture, we can detect Ca2+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase activities by addition of ATP to the intact cells. The external localization of the active site of the ATPase was confirmed by the observation that the Ca2+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase activities were the same for intact cells, saponin-treated cells, and cell homogenates. Less than 14% of total intracellular lactate dehydrogenase, a cytosolic enzyme, was released during a 30-min incubation of the hepatocytes with 2 mM ATP. This indicates that the hepatocytes maintained cytoplasmic membrane integrity during the 30-min incubation with ATP, and the Ca2+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase activity measured in the intact cell preparation was due to cell surface ATPase activity. The possibility that the ecto-Ca2+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase may be the same protein as the previously purified (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase was tested by comparing the properties of the ecto-ATPase with those of (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase. Both the ecto-ATPase and the (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase have broad nucleotide-hydrolyzing activity, i.e. they both hydrolyze ATP, GTP, UTP, CTP, ADP, and GDP to a similar extent. The effect of Ca2+ and Mg2+ on the ecto-ATPase activity is not additive indicating that both Ca2+- and Mg2+-ATPase activities are part of the same enzyme. The ecto-ATPase activity, like the (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase, is not sensitive to oligomycin, vanadate, N-ethylmaleimide and p-chloromercuribenzoate; and both the ecto-ATPase and purified (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase activities are insensitive to protease treatments. These properties indicate that the previously purified (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase is an ecto-ATPase and may function in regulating the effect of ATP and ADP on hepatocyte Ca2+ mobilization (Charest, R., Blackmore, P.F., and Exton, J.H. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 15789-15794).

Large T antigen, the regulatory protein encoded by simian virus 40, has DNA helicase activity and unwinds double-stranded DNA at the expense of ATP. T antigen also functions as an RNA helicase separating duplex regions in partially double-stranded RNA substrates. Surprisingly, T antigen RNA helicase activity requires UTP, CTP, or GTP as a cofactor, whereas ATP is an inefficient energy source for the RNA unwinding reaction. Accordingly, T antigen has both an intrinsic non-ATP NTPase activity that is stimulated by single-stranded RNA and an ATPase activity stimulated by single-stranded DNA. Thus, it appears that the bound nucleotide determines whether T antigen acts as an RNA helicase or as a DNA helicase.

Mg-ATP dependent electrogenic proton transport, monitored with fluorescent acridine orange, 9-aminoacridine, and oxonol V, was investigated in a fraction enriched with potassium transporting goblet cell apical membranes of Manduca sexta larval midgut. Proton transport and the ATPase activity from the goblet cell apical membrane exhibited similar substrate specificity and inhibitor sensitivity. ATP and GTP were far better substrates than UTP, CTP, ADP, and AMP. Azide and vanadate did not inhibit proton transport, whereas 100 microM N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and 30 microM N-ethylmaleimide were inhibitors. The pH gradient generated by ATP and limiting its hydrolysis was 2-3 pH units. Unlike the ATPase activity, proton transport was not stimulated by KCl. In the presence of 20 mM KCl, a proton gradient could not be developed or was dissipated. Monovalent cations counteracted the proton gradient in an order of efficacy like that for stimulation of the membrane-bound ATPase activity: K+ = Rb+ much greater than Li+ greater than Na+ greater than choline (chloride salts). Like proton transport, the generation of an ATP dependent and azide- and vanadate-insensitive membrane potential (vesicle interior positive) was prevented largely by 100 microM N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and 30 microM N-ethylmaleimide. Unlike proton transport, the membrane potential was not affected by 20 mM KCl. In the presence of 150 mM choline chloride, the generation of a membrane potential was suppressed, whereas the pH gradient increased 40%, indicating an anion conductance in the vesicle membrane. Altogether, the results led to the following new hypothesis of electrogenic potassium transport in the lepidopteran midgut. A vacuolar-type electrogenic ATPase pumps protons across the apical membrane of the goblet cell, thus energizing electroneutral proton/potassium antiport. The result is a net active and electrogenic potassium flux.

The release of Ca2+ from vesicles of heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum after its accumulation due to hydrolysis of ATP, GTP, CTP, UTP or ITP has been studied using Antipyrylazo III, a metal-chromic Ca-indicator. All the studied substrates of the Ca-pump provide Ca2+ accumulation inside the heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles, the spontaneous Ca2+ outflux rate being different for different nucleoside triphosphates. It is only ATP that provides Ca-(caffeine)-induced Ca2+ release, however AMP, ADP, beta, gamma-methylene-ATP induce Ca2+ ejection in the presence of nonadenylic nucleotides. The ruthenium red (10(-7M) inhibits the induced ejection of Ca2+ from vesicles of the heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum, but does not prevent the spontaneous release of Ca2+ in the same concentrations. A conclusion is drawn that besides Ca-channels sensitive to Ca2+ and caffeine in the presence of ATP (or to AMP, ADP, beta, gamma-methylene-ATP in the presence of nonadenylic nucleotides) and possessing high sensitivity to the ruthenium red there is another pathway for Ca2+ in the heavy reticulum membranes along which its spontaneous release occurs after the substrate exhaustion. It is supposed that this release is provided by the presence of the Ca-ATPase protein.

We report the purification of a CaATPase of high specific activity from Paramecium tetraurelia. The enzyme is preferentially released into solution upon deciliation of cells by a Ca2+ shock procedure. Purification by ion exchange and gel filtration chromatography yields major peptides of 68 and 53 kDa and a minor peptide of 58 kDa, as determined by electrophoresis on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gels. These three peptides yield similar proteolytic peptide maps. Rabbit antisera to the purified enzyme inhibit enzyme activity and specifically label 68- and 53-kDa bands on nitrocellulose blots of the deciliation supernatant from which the enzyme is isolated. Concanavalin A-Sepharose precipitates about 60% of ATPase activity; only the 53-kDa band binds concanavalin A on nitrocellulose blots. The purified enzyme has a specific activity of 620 +/- 70 mumol/min/mg with ATP as substrate in the presence of Ca2+, which is required for enzyme activity. As substrates, ATP and GTP are strongly preferred to UTP and CTP. The Km for ATP in the presence of 3 mM Ca2+ is approximately 20 microM. Enzyme activity is strongly inhibited by the calmodulin antagonists trifluoperazine, fluphenazine, W7, and calmidazolium. However, calmodulin is not associated with the purified enzyme, based on the enzyme's inability to bind anti-calmodulin antibodies or to stimulate brain phosphodiesterase. The intracellular origin of this ATPase, its possible function, and its relationship to several other ATPases of Paramecium are discussed.

Extraction of isolated axonemes from trout (Salmo gairdneri) sperm with 0.6 M NaCl removed 97% of the outer arms, approximately 12% of the protein, and approximately 50% of the MgATPase activity. Fractionation of this high salt extract by sucrose density gradient centrifugation yielded a single peak of ATPase activity with an apparent sedimentation coefficient of 19 S. Electrophoretic analysis showed that this 19 S particle was composed of two heavy chains (termed alpha and beta; Mr 430,000 and 415,000, respectively), five intermediate molecular weight chains (IC1-IC5; Mr 85,000, 73,000, 65,000, 63,000, and 57,000), and six light chains (LC1-LC6; Mr 22,000-6,000). A similar complex was obtained following further purification by DEAE-Sephacel column chromatography. Quantitative densitometry of Coomassie Blue-stained gels indicated that the heavy and intermediate chains were present in equimolar amounts. Electron microscopic examination of the 19 S particles revealed that it consisted of two globular heads joined together by a Y-shaped stem. The 19 S particle had a specific MgATPase activity of 1.1 +/- 0.3 mumol of phosphate released/min/mg and exhibited an apparent Km for MgATP2- of 40 +/- 16 microM. MnATP2- and CaATP2- were hydrolyzed at rates 100 and 80% that of MgATP2-, respectively. The Mg-ATPase activity was inhibited by vanadate, but not by ouabain or oligomycin, and exhibited a high activity between pH 7.0 and 10.0 with a maximum at pH 9.0-9.5. ATP was the preferred nucleotide, although GTP and CTP (but not ITP) did interact with the dynein to a minor extent. Based on its origin, sedimentation coefficient, polypeptide composition, and enzymatic properties, we conclude that this two-headed 19 S particle represents the entire trout sperm axonemal outer arm dynein. This dynein is probably exemplary of the outer arm dyneins of other vertebrates.

The UTP-dependent ATPase reaction and the glutamine-dependent overall reaction of Escherichia coli CTP synthetase have been studied by rapid quench and isotope partitioning kinetics. The effect of GTP, an allosteric effector, on the pre-steady-state kinetics of both reactions has also been examined. The time courses of the UTP-dependent ATPase reaction in the presence and absence of GTP are both characterized by a burst of acid-labile phosphate equivalent to 0.93 and 0.43 subunits, respectively. The time course of the glutamine-dependent reaction in the absence of GTP is also characterized by a burst of acid-labile phosphate corresponding to 0.8 subunit; however, in the presence of GTP, no burst was observed. These results along with positional isotope exchange experiments [von der Saal, W., Anderson, P. M., & Villafranca, J. J. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 14997] provide evidence that the mechanism of CTP formation involves phosphorylation of UTP followed by attack of NH3, and finally release of phosphate, producing CTP, ADP, and Pi. A kinetic model for the first stages of the enzymatic reaction was developed from the rapid quench data, and the internal equilibrium constant for the formation of the phosphorylated UTP intermediate was determined. The internal equilibrium constants for the UTP-dependent reaction in the presence and absence of GTP were found to be 1.1 and 18, respectively. By contrast, the internal equilibrium constant for the reaction in the presence of glutamine was 50. Thus, the presence of glutamine shifts the internal equilibrium constant to favor formation of the phosphorylated UTP intermediate.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

(Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity of a dog kidney enzyme preparation was markedly inhibited by 10-30% (v/v) dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO) and ethylene glycol (Et(OH)2); moreover, Me2SO produced a pattern of uncompetitive inhibition toward ATP. However, K+-nitrophenylphosphatase activity was stimulated by 10-20% Me2SO and Et(OH)2 but was inhibited by 30-50%. Me2SO decreased the Km for this substrate but had little effect on the Vmax below 30% (at which concentration Vmax was then reduced). Me2SO also reduced the Ki for Pi and acetyl phosphate as competitors toward nitrophenyl phosphate but increased the Ki for ATP, CTP and 2-O-methylfluorescein phosphate as competitors. Me2SO inhibited K+-acetylphosphatase activity, although it also reduced the Km for that substrate. Finally, Me2SO increased the rate of enzyme inactivation by fluoride and beryllium. These observations are interpreted in terms of the E1P to E2P transition of the reaction sequence being associated with an increased hydrophobicity of the active site, and of Me2SO mimicking such effects by decreasing water activity: (i) primarily to stabilize the covalent E2P intermediate, through differential solvation of reactants and products, and thereby inhibiting the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase reaction and acting as a dead-end inhibitor to produce the pattern of uncompetitive inhibition; inhibiting the K+-acetylphosphatase reaction that also passes through an E2P intermediate; but not inhibiting (at lower Me2SO concentrations) the K+-nitrophenylphosphatase reaction that does not pass through such an intermediate; and (ii) secondarily to favor partitioning of Pi and non-nucleotide phosphates into the hydrophobic active site, thereby decreasing the Km for nitrophenyl phosphate and acetyl phosphate, the Ki for Pi and acetyl phosphate in the K+-nitrophenylphosphatase reaction, accelerating inactivation by fluoride and beryllium acting as phosphate analogs, and, at higher concentrations, inhibiting the K+-nitrophenylphosphatase reaction by stabilizing the non-covalent E2.P intermediate of that reaction. In addition, Me2SO may decrease binding at the adenine pocket of the low-affinity substrate site, represented as an increased Ki for ATP, CTP and 3-O-methylfluorescein phosphate.

EDTA-treated microsomes prepared from rat brain mainly consisted of sealed membrane vesicles 200-500 nm in diameter and were rich in both Cl- -ATPase and Na+,K+-ATPase activities. Such Cl- -ATPase-rich membrane vesicles accumulated Cl- in an ATP-dependent and osmotically reactive manner in the presence of 1 nM ouabain. The Cl- uptake was maximally stimulated by ATP with a Km value of 1.5 mM; GTP, ITP, and UTP partially stimulated Cl- uptake, but CTP, beta, gamma-methylene ATP, ADP, and AMP did not. The ATP-dependent Cl- uptake was accelerated by an increase in the medium Cl- concentration with a Km value of 7.4 mM. Such stimulation of Cl- uptake by ATP was dependent on the pH of the medium, with an optimal pH of 7.4, and also on the temperature of the medium, with an optimal range of 37-42 degrees C. Ethacrynic acid dose dependently inhibited the ATP-dependent Cl- uptake with a concentration for half-maximal inhibition at 57 microM. N-ethylmaleimide (0.1 mM) completely inhibited and sodium vanadate (1 mM) partially inhibited the ATP-dependent Cl- uptake. The membrane vesicles did not accumulate H+ in the Cl- uptake assay medium. The ATP-dependent Cl- uptake profile agreed with that of Cl- -ATPase activity reported previously (Inagaki, C., Tanaka, T., Hara, M., and Ishiko, J. (1985) Biochem. Pharmacol. 34, 1705-1712), and this strongly supports the idea that Cl- -ATPase in the brain actively transports Cl-.
