Subcellular fraction (brush border, mitochondria, microsomes and plasma membranes) are isolated from the rat intestinal epithelial cells. A comparison was made between the effect of cold storage, freeze-thawing, heating and of some chemicals (DMSO, DTT, glycerol, sucrose) on the stability of Mg2+ and (Na+-K+) dependent ATPases in these fractions in order to determine possible difference linked to the localization in the enterocyte. Enzymatic activities were found more stable at -20 degrees C than at +4 degrees C. Microsomal (Na+-K+)-ATPase increased in activity until the 8th day, then declined. Brush border (Na+-K+)-ATPase was the least resistant of all fractions. For Mg2+-ATPase, that from mitochondria was that had lost much more activity (84%) in 15 days at +4 degrees C. With freeze-thawing there was a comparable decrease in all activities (20-35%). by heating between 35 and 60 degrees C, Mg2+-ATPase was shown to be more heat resistant than (Na+-K+)-ATPase. The addition of some stabilizing chemicals (DMSO, glycerol, sucrose) improved the heat stability of the two enzymes: better results were obtained with glycerol for Mg2+-ATPase and sucrose for (Na+-K+)-ATPase. These differences might be due to the compositon in membraine lipids or to the nature of the enzymes studied.

1. Crayfish (Procambarus clarki) myosin was obtained from abdominal flexor muscle. The Ca2+-ATPase activity of crayfish myosin was much lower than that of rabbit skeletal myosin. However, F-actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase of crayfish and its superprecipitation closely resembled those of rabbit skeletal myosin. This fact suggests that the ability of crayfish myosin to combine with F-actin is essentially the same as that of skeletal myosin, although the chemical structures of both the myosin molecules when involved in their Ca2+-ATPast activity must be different from each other. 2. Crayfish and rabbit skeletal myosins were subjected to SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Crayfish myosin was found to have one heavy chain and two distinct light chain components (CF-gl and CF-g2), which have molecular weights of 18,000 and 16,000, respectively. These light chains correspond in molecular weight to the light chains (SK-g2 and SK-g3) in rabbit skeletal myosin. 3. CF-g1 could be liberated from the crayfish myosin molecule reacting with 5,5'-dithio-bis (2-nitrobenzoic acid), (Nbs2), without recovery of ATPase activity by the addition of DTT. These properties are equivalent to those of SK-g2 in rabbit skeletal myosin, although Nbs2-treated crayfish myosin did not recover its ATPase activity at all.

We have studied a mitochondrial inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPase) in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The uncoupler FCCP (carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone) and the ionophores valinomycin and nigericin stimulate the PPase activity of repeatedly washed yeast mitochondria 2-3-fold. We have previously cloned a yeast gene, PPA2, encoding the catalytic subunit of a mitochondrial PPase. Uncouplers stimulate the PPase activity several-fold in mitochondria from both cells that overexpress PPA2 from a high copy number plasmid and cells with normal expression. These results indicate that the PPA2 polypeptide functions as an energy linked and membrane associated PPase. The stimulation of mitochondrial PPase activity by FCCP, but not by valinomycin and nigericin, was greatly enhanced by the presence of DTT. The antibiotics Dio-9, equisetin and the F0F1-ATPase inhibitor oligomycin also increase mitochondrial PPase activity several fold. This stimulation is much higher, whereas basal PPase activity is lower, in isotonic than in hypotonic solution, which indicates that intact membranes are a prerequisite for maximal effects.

The effects of several guanine nucleotide analogues on (Na+,K+)-ATPase activity of membranes isolated from several tissues were analyzed to determine if a G-protein might be involved in the hormonal regulation of the (Na+,K+)-ATPase. Submillimolar concentrations of GTP gamma S, but not GMPPNP, inhibit rat skeletal muscle and axolemma, but not kidney, (Na+,K+)-ATPase activity. Furthermore, GDP beta S does not reverse GTP gamma S inhibition, but rather itself slightly inhibits (Na+,K+)-ATPase activity. Dithiothreitol can block and reverse GTP gamma S inhibition of skeletal muscle (Na+,K+)-ATPase; the results obtained with axolemma membranes are complicated by the inhibition of (Na+,K+)-ATPase activity in these membranes by DTT. Results showing that high membrane concentrations can mute the inhibitory action of GTP gamma S suggest that a minor contaminant in GTP gamma S preparations is responsible for inhibiting (Na+,K+)-ATPase activity. Neither vanadate, a heavy metal, GDP, phosphate, nor thiophosphate, however, is responsible for this inhibition, and the inhibitory activity elutes with GTP gamma S from Sephadex G-10 columns. It is concluded that GTP gamma S or a structural derivative of GTP gamma S inhibits the (Na+,K+)-ATPase, in a tissue-specific manner, not by interaction with a G-protein as a GTP analogue, but through a direct chemical interaction with the (Na+,K+)-ATPase or some regulatory protein. The terminal SH group of the nucleotide analogue is probably required for this interaction.

The Ca(2+)-ATPase crystals formed in detergent solubilized sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) at 2 degrees C in a crystallization medium of 0.1 M KCl, 10 mM K-Mops (pH 6.0), 3 mM MgCl2, 3 mM NaN3, 5 mM DTT, 25 IU/ml Trasylol, 2 micrograms/ml 1,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol, 20% glycerol and 20 mM CaCl2 (J. Biol. Chem. 263, 5277 and 5287 (1988)) contain highly ordered sheets of ATPase molecules, that associate into large multilamellar stacks (greater than 100 layers). When the crystallization is performed in the same medium but in the presence of 40% glycerol at low temperature the stacking is reduced to 4-5 layers and the average diameter of the crystalline sheets is increased from less than 1 micron to 2-3 microns. Glycerol and low temperature presumably reduce stacking by interfering with the interactions between the hydrophilic headgroups of Ca(2+)-ATPase molecules in adjacent lamellae, while not affecting or promoting the ordering of ATPase molecules within the individual sheets. Electron diffraction patterns could be regularly obtained at 8 A and occasionally at 7 A resolution on crystals formed in 40% glycerol, either at 2 degrees C or at -70 degrees C. In the same media but in the absence of glycerol, polyethyleneglycol 1450, 3000 and 8000 (1-8%) induced the formation of ordered crystalline arrays containing 10-12 layers that were similar to those obtained in 40% glycerol. Replacement of 40% glycerol with 10-50% glucose or supplementation of the standard crystallization medium with polyethyleneglycol (PEG 3000 or 8000; 1, 2, 5 and 8%) had no beneficial effect on the order of crystalline arrays compared with media containing 40% glycerol.

Reactive disulfide compounds (RDSs) with a pyridyl ring adjacent to a disulfide bond, 2,2'dithiodipyridine (2,2' DTDP) and 4,4' dithiodipyridine (4,4' DTDP), induce Ca2+ release from isolated canine cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicles. RDSs are absolutely specific to free sulfhydryl (SH) groups and oxidize SH sites of low pKa via a thiol-disulfide exchange reaction, with the stoichiometric production of thiopyridone in the medium. As in skeletal SR, this reaction caused large increases in the Ca2+ permeability of cardiac SR and the number of SH sites oxidized by RDSs was kinetically and quantitatively measured through the absorption of thiopyridone. RDS-induced Ca2+ release from cardiac SR was characterized and compared to the action of RDSs on skeletal SR and to Ca2(+)-induced Ca2+ release. (i) RDS-induced Ca2+ release from cardiac SR was dependent on ionized Mg2+, with maximum rates of release occurring at 0.5 and 1 mM Mg2+free for 2,2' DTDP and 4,4' DTDP, respectively. (ii) In the presence of adenine nucleotides (0.1-1 mM), the oxidation of SH sites in cardiac SR by exogenously added RDS was inhibited, which, in turn, inhibited Ca2+ release induced by RDSs. (iii) Conversely, when the oxidation reaction between RDSs and cardiac SR was completed and Ca2+ release pathways were opened, subsequent additions of adenine nucleotides stimulated Ca2+ efflux induced by RDSs. (iv) Sulfhydryl reducing agents (e.g., dithiothreitol, DTT, 1-5 mM) inhibited RDS-induced Ca2+ efflux in a concentration-dependent manner. (v) RDSs elicited Ca2+ efflux from passively loaded cardiac SR vesicles (i.e., with nonfunctional Ca2+ pumps in the absence of Mg-ATP) and stimulated Ca2(+)-dependent ATPase activity, which indicated that RDS uncoupled Ca2+ uptake and did not act at the Ca2+, Mg2(+)-ATPase. These results indicate that RDSs selectively oxidize critical sulfhydryl site(s) on or adjacent to a Ca2+ release channel protein channel and thereby trigger Ca2+ release. Conversely, reduction of these sites reverses the effects of RDSs by closing Ca2+ release channels, which results in active Ca2+ reuptake by Ca2+, Mg2(+)-ATPase. These compounds can thus provide a method to covalently label and identify the protein involved in Ca2+ release from cardiac SR.

I have investigated the effect of lead on the erythrocyte ghosts (Ca2+,Mg2+)-ATPase, with special attention to the role of calmodulin in this phenomena. Under regular incubation conditions, lead inhibits the enzyme with an IC50 of 6.0 microM. The presence of exogenously added calmodulin apparently does not change this inhibitory value. DTT added during the incubation period does not affect the inhibitory action of lead. However, when the membranes are preincubated with DTT, an important IC50 displacement is observed, either with or without added calmodulin. Since [125I]calmodulin binding to the membranes is enhanced when lead is used, the possibility of a lead/calmodulin complex that optimally stimulates the enzyme using lead concentrations between 1.0 and 10.0 microM, is suggested. Based on the experimental data, I propose two well defined actions of lead; first, an inhibitory action upon the ATPase above 1.0 microM lead, most probably related to essential sulphydryl groups in the enzyme; and second, a direct action of lead upon calmodulin at lead concentrations below 1.0 microM.

Micromolar concentrations of HOCl, an oxidant produced by activated neutrophils, inhibited Ca2+ uptake and Ca2+ATPase of isolated dog heart sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). DTT antagonized completely the HOCl effect only when it was given within 5 min after the addition of HOCl. When the pharmacological intervention was delayed, the recovery with DTT was not complete, and administration of DTT 30 min after the start of HOCl's reaction with SR resulted in only a small improvement in SR Ca2+ uptake. Although H2O2 and Fe ion-chelate (a free radical-generating procedure) also inhibited Ca2+ uptake and ATPase, the concentrations required were very large. The response of cardiac sarcolemmal and skeletal muscle SR calcium pumps to oxidants was similar to that of the cardiac SR calcium pump.

In the present in vivo studies the alterations in cation transporting enzymes of the brain, kidney and liver tissues were assessed at intervals between 0 to 48 h after a single, acute (10 mg kg-1, i.p.) dose of cadmium (Cd). The inhibition of Na+-K+-ATPase during the first 24 h does not parallel the changes in K+-PNPPase suggesting differential effects on phosphorylation and dephosphorylation steps of the overall ATPase reaction. Between 30 min to 2 h the inhibition in enzyme activity was steep (27 per cent in brain, 54 per cent in liver) followed by a rapid reversal between 2-6 h. This critical period may correspond to the time of induction of metallothionein. This enzyme reversal was followed by a significant decrease in Na+-K+ ATPase (40-68 per cent) and K+-PNPPase (44-60 per cent) between 24 to 48 h. A similar pattern was observed in Ca2+-ATPase in all the three tissues. A 33 per cent mortality was observed in rats after 48 h of cadmium challenge. Administration of dithiothreitol (DTT, 20 mg kg-1, i.p.) to CdCl2 pretreated rats at 24 h resulted in mortality reduced from 33 per cent to 0 and reversal in the inhibition of Na+-K+-ATPase in brain and kidney and Ca2+-ATPase in brain. Since protection of brain and kidney enzymes by DTT paralleled its protection against Cd toxicity, their inhibition by Cd may, in part, constitute the biochemical basis of Cd toxicity.

By incubating soluble F1 of the beef heart mitochondria with radio active 7-chloro-4-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (14C)-NBD-C1 in the dark, a labeled F1 with NBD/F1 molar ratio of 1:1 (0.995:1) was obtained, but 98% of the ATPase activity was inhibited. The inactivated ATPase activity of the NBD-labeled F1 may be restored by DTT, suggesting that an essential tyrosine residue of F1 (O-NBD-F1) may be labeled. By exposure of O-NBD-F1 with 0.83 NBD label per F1 molecule and a stable 82.5% inhibition of the ATPase activity even in the presence of DTT. Urea PAGE analysis clearly showed that a 63.4% of the total radio activity was associated with the beta-subunit. In the beta-fraction from N-NBD-F1 only a 19.90-20% of the labeling was detected. It is calculated that F1 of the beef heart mitochondria contains 3 (2.63-2.64) beta-subunits. The results obtained are discussed in connection with the subunit-subunit and site-site interactions and three-site model for F1 catalysis proposal by Boyer and his group.
