T-tubule membrane vesicles isolated from skeletal muscle contain a very active Mg(2+)-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.34) which is modulated by lectins and is located in the junctional region near the sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes (1). The effects of several prominent lipophilic agents upon the ATPase have led us to evaluate the action of diacylglycerols and phorbol esters upon the enzyme. The ATPase is inhibited by submicromolar levels of the phorbol ester, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), and the diacylglycerol, 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (sn-OAG), with K0.5s of 0.2 and 0.5 microM, respectively. Significantly, 4-alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate (4-alpha-phorbol) the TPA analogue shown to be inactive toward protein kinase C (PKC), inhibited the ATPase with a K0.5 of 0.3 microM, and 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonyl-sn-glycerol, the preferred endogenous activator of PKC, was not inhibitory toward the ATPase. 1-(5-Isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine dihydrochloride (a membrane permeant PKC inhibitor) and peptide 19-36 (the highly specific PKC pseudosubstrate inhibitor) were both without effect upon the ATPase and did not affect TPA inhibition. ATPase activity was not altered under phosphorylating conditions in experiments using exogenous rat brain PKC. ConA protected ATPase activity against inhibition by TPA, 4-alpha-phorbol, and sn-OAG. Additionally, phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate binding studies demonstrated that the ATPase was capable of significant phorbol binding with ConA protection. The data are consistent with a direct and specific effect of phorbol esters and diacylglycerols upon the ATPase, without any participation of PKC. We conclude that the transverse tubule (T-tubule) ATPase is an alternate receptor for diacylglycerol and TPA in skeletal muscle and that the mode of action of these agents upon the ATPase (inhibition) is opposite to their mode of action on PKC (activation). The data demonstrate that substantial care must be taken in ascribing either cellular or subcellular effects of phorbol esters and diacylglycerols exclusively to the activation of PKC and that alternate receptors may exist. Criteria are recommended for the demonstration of PKC-independent modulation by phorbols and diacylglycerols.

The Ca2+,Mg(2+)-ATPase of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is irreversibly inactivated by a freeze-thaw (FT) cycle. The membrane does not become more permeable to calcium after a FT cycle, suggesting that the reduced uptake is due to damage to the Ca2+,Mg(2+)-ATPase. Several amino acids, in addition to standard cryoprotectants provide good protection of calcium uptake against FT damage. The amount of protection given by the amino acids is generally inversely proportional to a measure of hydrophobicity, the mean fractional area loss upon incorporation in globular proteins of the amino acid side chain. Unlike the case for cells, glutamine and dimethyl sulfoxide do not act independently as cryoprotectants for SR calcium ATPase. When the protein is exposed to multiple FT cycles, the amount of inactivation is exponentially proportional to the number of FT cycles. This is true for both protected and unprotected samples. Some SR vesicles fuse during FT. Fusion of vesicles cannot account for the observed inactivation of the enzyme. Fluorescence studies, using intrinsic tryptophan and extrinsic FITC and NCD-4, suggest that FT does not damage the transmembrane region of the Ca2+,Mg(2+)-ATPase or the calcium binding sites, but only the mechanism coupling ATPase activity to calcium translocation. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies suggest that this region comprises less than 15% of the whole enzyme.

Human platelet myosin forms 10S and 6S conformations, and its Ca(2+)- and Mg(2+)-ATPase activities are parallel with the transition between 10S and 6S conformation, as judged by the gel filtration, intrinsic fluorescence, and viscosity methods. The 20,000-dalton myosin light chain (LC20) is phosphorylated by both myosin light chain kinase (MLC kinase) and Ca2+, phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase C [PKC]). The phosphorylation (1 mol of phosphate/mol of LC20) by MLC kinase shifts the equilibrium toward the 6S conformation, but that by PKC does not. The prephosphorylation of myosin by PKC prevents the effect of phosphorylation by MLC kinase on actin-activated Mg(2+)-ATPase activity, but not the effect on conformational change. Inhibition of actin-activated ATPase activity by PKC is due to a decreased affinity of myosin for actin, and no change in Vmax is observed. These results suggest that sequential phosphorylation of myosin by both kinases plays an important role in the ATPase activities of human platelet myosin.

Intact human erythrocytes, initially depleted of Mg2+ by EDTA incubation in the presence of A23187, exhibit Mg(2+)-dependent phosphate production of around 1.5 mmol per liter cells.h, half-maximally activated at around 0.4 mM added free Mg2+. This appears to correspond to Mg(2+)-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase (Mg(2+)-ATPase) activity found in isolated membranes, which is known to have a similar activity and affinity for Mg2+. Vanadate (up to 100 microM) inhibited Mg(2+)-dependent phosphate production and ATP breakdown in intact cells. Over a similar concentration range vanadate (3-100 microM) transformed intact cells from normal discocytes to echinocytes within 4-8 h at 37 degrees C, and more rapidly in Mg(2+)-depleted cells. The rate of Ca(2+)-induced echinocytosis was also enhanced in Mg(2+)-depleted cells. These results support previous studies in erythrocyte ghosts suggesting that vanadate-induced shape change is associated with inhibition of Mg(2+)-ATPase activity localized in the plasma membrane of the red blood cell.

Oral administration of the antiulcerogenic drug, cimetidine, was studied on kidney-bound hydrolytic enzymes at three different dose levels (30 mg, 100 mg, and 2000 mg/kg body weight) and for single administration for 2 and 24 h, and daily administration for 15 days in mice. It significantly inhibited Na+, K(+)-ATPase, Mg(2+)-ATPase, and Ca2+, Mg(2+)-ATPase in the isolated basolateral membrane (BLM). Brush-border-membrane-(BBM)-associated enzymes, sucrase, lactase, maltase, leucine aminopeptidase, and alkaline phosphatase also showed a marked reduction. Substrate saturation kinetics revealed the nature of inhibition was of mixed type in the case of sucrase, lactase, maltase, and alkaline phosphatase (Km was increased, while Vmax decreased), whereas it was of non-competitive type for leucine aminopeptidase (Km was unchanged, while Vmax decreased). In vitro addition of cimetidine (5-20 mM) to the BBM also inhibited the enzyme activity. Dixon plot produced the inhibition constant (Ki) for cimetidine in the case of maltase, alkaline phosphatase, and leucine aminopeptidase in the order of 14.83, 32.83 and 11.5 mM, respectively. Analysis of lipids revealed a significant reduction in BBM-associated phospholipid and phospholipid/cholesterol molar ratio, while the neutral lipid fraction, i.e., cholesterol and triglycerides were not altered. Free fatty acid exhibited an increase after drug treatment, which was significant at higher dose after 24 h of single and 15 days of daily treatment. BLM-associated lipids did not exhibit any significant change. Cimetidine-induced depression in renal BLM- and BBM-associated disaccharidases and ATPases, at least at the higher dose level, may have serious consequences in the absorption of end-product nutrients.

Experiments on albino rats were made to investigate the activity of Na+, K(+)-ATPase and Mg(2+)-ATPase of fractions of microsomes and nerve endings, isolated from the cortex of the cerebral hemispheres, subcortical structures and medulla oblongata. The brain of healthy animals and that of rats in the state of insulin coma (40 units/kg of the hormone intramuscularly) were investigated at various periods after coma arrest with glucose. It has been assumed that an increase in the number of active molecules of Na+, K(+)-ATPase under the influence of structural changes of membranes in hypoglycemia cannot provide the electric activity of neurons in the absence of glycolytic ATP in neuroglycopenia.

The chemical composition of the active sites of cardiac sarcolemmal (Na+ + K(+)-ATPase, Mg(2+)-ATPase and Ca(2+)-ATPase has not been determined definitely. The present study deals with investigation of the role of OH group in position two on the ribose moiety of the ATP molecule in its interaction with the specific ATP binding sites on the above ATPases. Experiments with application of ATP and deoxyATP (the OH group in position 2 on the ribose absent revealed that neither Ca(2+)-ATPase nor Mg(2+)-ATPase is able to distinguish between ATP and deoxyATP as substrates). This indicates that the OH group investigated may play a negligible role only in ATP binding and splitting by the latter ATPases. On the contrary, kinetic studies of Na+ + K(+)-ATPase activation by deoxyATP revealed that the latter compound is a considerably less suitable substrate for the enzyme than ATP. Consequently the OH group in position 2 on the ribose moiety proved to be important both for ATP binding in the active site and for proper substrate turnover by (Na+ + K(+)-ATPase interaction of the ATP binding site of heart sarcolemmal ATPases. Results of the experiments showed that Ca(2+)-ATPase and Mg(2+)-ATPase cannot distinguish between ATP and deoxyATP as substrates. Kinetic studies of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activation by deoxyATP revealed that the latter is a considerably less good substrate for the enzyme than ATP. It means that the OH group in position two on the ribose moiety proved to be important for both binding of ATP in the active site and for proper substrate turnover by (Na+ + K+)-ATPase.

The effect of calcium entry blocking agents nitrendipine and flunarizine on Mg(2+)-ATPase, (Mg2+ + Na(+)-ATPase, (Na+ + K(+)-ATPase and (Mg2+ + Ca(2+)-ATPase activities was studied. Nitrendipine (1 mumol/l-1) exerted a stimulatory effect on (Mg2+ + Na(+)-ATPase activity. Kinetic analysis of this effect revealed a two-fold rise in Vmax value and lowered Km value for activation of the enzyme by Na+ ions. In concentrations 10(-7) and 10(-5) mol.l-1 flunarizine behaved as a non-specific inhibitor of all sarcolemmal ATPases investigated. Nevertheless, in concentration of 10(-6) mol.l-1 flunarizine inhibited selectively the (Mg2+ + Na(+)-ATPase and (Na+ + K(+)-ATPase activities of myocardial sarcolemma. These observations provided evidence that both flunarizine and nitrendipine, in the concentration 10(-6) mol.l-1, modulate the (Mg2+ + Na(+)-ATPase and (Na+ + K(+)-ATPase activities in cardiac sarcolemma. These side effects of the above drugs particularly that of nitrendipine might have potential physiological relevance.

A method is described for the isolation of subfractions from human liver plasma membranes, enriched in canalicular domains (cLPM) and basolateral domains (blLPM), respectively, and the results are compared to those obtained with rat liver. The studies were performed in 18 human livers. The cLPM (isolated at densities 1.103-1.127 for human and 1.036-1.127 for rat cLPM) from human as well as rat liver showed a lower density than the blLPM (1.141-1.161 for human and 1.151-1.172 for rat blLPM). Human and rat blLPM were characterized by increased levels of (Na+/K+)-ATPase (relative enrichment 33 and 21, respectively). Both human and rat cLPM showed high specific activities of leucine aminopeptidase; relative enrichment factors were 42 and 31, respectively. Mg(2+)-ATPase and alkaline phosphatase, specific canalicular enzymes in rat liver, were only slightly enriched in the cLPM of human liver, which indicates that these enzymes are not suitable as marker enzymes for human liver cLPM. Both cLPM and blLPM of human and rat origin were only slightly contaminated with mitochondria, lysosomes, Golgi membranes and endoplasmic reticulum. Total recoveries of cLPM and blLPM were 0.02 mg protein/g liver each for the human membrane preparations, compared to 0.07 and 0.16 mg protein/g liver for the membranes prepared from rat liver. Analysis of membrane fluidity revealed that the human liver cLPM were more rigid than blLPM (mean difference in fluorescence polarization PDPH 0.024). They contained more cholesterol (0.43 vs. 0.30 mumol/mg protein) and phospholipids (0.54 vs. 0.39 mumol/mg protein, respectively), which was compatible to rat liver plasma membrane fractions. This study shows that besides similarities, there are several differences between human and rat liver plasma membrane fractions.

In 10 southern Indian patients with tropical sprue, in vivo dialysis showed a defect of absorption of water and sodium from the rectum, when compared with 11 healthy volunteers. Sodium-potassium-ATPase activity, measured in homogenates of rectal biopsies, was significantly diminished in patients with sprue. Magnesium-ATPase and alkaline phosphatase were normal in biopsy homogenates. Decreased activity of colonic sodium-potassium-ATPase may contribute to diarrhoea in some patients with tropical sprue.
