It is known that the coupling factor purified from the acetone powder of chromatophores from Rhodospirillum rubrum shows ATPase activity in the presence of Ca(2)+, but not in the presence of Mg(2)+ or Mn(2)+. The present study deals with conditions, under which the Ca(2)+-ATPase activity is reversibly converted into Mg(2)+- and Mn(2)+-ATPase activites with the purified coupling factor. 1. Of the pH indicators tested, 6 kinds coverted the Ca(2)+-ATPase activity into Mg(2)+- and Mn(2)+-ATPase activities in the order, ethyl orange greater than tropaeolin 000 greater than or equal to metanil yellow greater than tropaeolin 00 greater than ethyl red greater than or equal to bromthymol blue. 2. Of the detergents tested, those other than Triton X-100 and Brij 58 caused the conversion described above; dodecylsulfonate was most effective, whereas dodecylpyridinium chloride was moderately effective. 3. 2,4-Dinitrophenol stimulated approximately two-fold the Ca(2)+-ATPase activity, but not the Mg(2)+- or Mn(2)+-ATPase activity at all. However, in the presence of dodecylpyridinium chloride, the pH indicator remarkably stimulated the Mg(2)+- and Mn(2)+-ATPase activities, accompanied with a partial inhibition of the Ca(2)+-ATPase activity. Methyl red and ethyl red showed similar effects. 4. All the nucleoside triphosphates tested can serve as the substrate. ATP was most effective for the Ca(2)+-ATPase activity, whereas dATP was most effective for the Mg(2)+- and Mn(2)+-ATPase activities induced by ethyl orange. 5. In the presence of ethyl orange, the ATPase activity was induced by various divalent cations in the following order of effectiveness, Mg(2)+ greater than Zn(2)+ greater than CO(2)+ greater than Mn(2)+ greater than Ni(2)+. 6. The mechanism of the reversible conversion from the Ca(2)+-ATPase activity to the Mg(2)+- and Mn(2)+-ATPase activities by pH indicators and detergents is discussed.

Adverse proton electrochemical gradients (delta muH) applied across the turtle urinary bladder decrease active H+ transport in this epithelium. A delta muH of 180 mV abolishes both transport and its tightly coupled metabolic reaction. Larger gradients should, in theory, reverse the direction of H+ transport and the metabolic reaction leading to synthesis of ATP if the pump is an ATPase, or cause an increase in the oxidized state of a redox pair if it is a redox pump. To distinguish between these two possibilities, we measured ATP levels in epithelial cells that were poisoned to inhibit cellular mechanisms of ATP synthesis. At delta muH of 120 mV or less no ATP synthesis was found. At delta muH of greater than 120 mV there was a linear increase in ATP synthesis. Dinitrophenol, a H+ carrier, prevented synthesis at delta muH of 310 mV. Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, an inhibitor of H+ transport that works at the cell surface, prevented ATP synthesis at delta muH of 310 mV. These results demonstrate that a reversible proton-translocating ATPase in the mucosal border of the bladder is the H+ pump responsible for urinary acidification.

Exposure of rats to an ambient temperature of 5 degrees C for 4 to 6 weeks led to a 30 to 80 percent increase in the rate of oxygen consumption and a 50 percent increase in the rate of ethanol oxidation by liver slices, a 50 percent increase in mitochondrial alpha-glycerophosphate oxidase activity of liver, and a 100 percent increase in Na++K+-activated adenosine-triphosphatase, activity. Ouabain, an inhibitor of the Na++K+-activated adenosine-triphosphatase, completely blocked the extra respiration and ethanol oxidation. Dinitrophenol, which increases oxygen consumption and ethanol oxidation by liver slices from normal rats, was ineffective with slices from cold-exposed animals. Ethanol disappearance rate in vivo was also increased by cold acclimation, even though liver alcohol dehydrogenase activity was reduced. It is suggested that increased hydrolysis of ATP by the sodium pump system is responsible for the increased oxygen consumption and ethanol metabolism in the livers of cold-acclimated animals.

Studies were carried out to elucidate the nature of biphasic ATP hydrolysis by myosin at low temperature. 1. The rate of ATP splitting decreased sharply at 3--5 min after initiation of the reaction below a critical temperature (25 degrees and 30 degrees in the presence of Ca-2+ and EDTA, respectively). On the other hand, Mg-2+-ATPase [ED 3.6.1.3] did not exhibit such biphasic kinetics. 2. The Arrhenius plot of the second phase of the reaction after the rate transition gave a straight line whether the temperature of assay was above or below the critical one, giving 5.7 kcal/mole as the activation energy of Da-2+-ATPase showed features similar to those of Ca-2+-ATPase. 3. Michaelis constants for the two phases at 8 degrees were also different. In addition, the first phase of EDTA-ATPase was shown to have two different constants, depending on ATP concentration. 4. The profiles of the dependence of ATPase activity on KCl concentration were essentially the same for both phases, while bending of the time curve was scarecly observed obove pH 8 for Ca-2+-ATPase or at pH 6 for EDTA-ATPase. 5. 2, 4-Dinitrophenol abolished the phase transition for Ca-2+-ATPase and EDTA-ATPase, and heat treatment also minimized the transition for the former.

ATPase activity from freshly prepared, "aged" and "heparin" mitochondria was studied in adult, newborn and 7 day old rabbits. Heparin, incubated with the mitochondria within 2-2.5 hrs at 20 degrees C, increased the activity of endogenous ATPase in the newborn rabbits. Activities of Mg-2++-ATPase and Mg-2+-DNP-ATPase were decreased under effect of heparin in both adult and new born rabbits. In 7 day old rabbits, to the contrary, increased activity of Mg-2+-ATPase and its activation by 2,4-DNP were observed.

In rat liver, homogenized and fractionated, ATPase activity was studied both histochemically and biochemically in the presence of lead ions and with addition of cysteine, EDTA, 2,4-DNP, sodium cyanide, sodium fluoride and p-chloromercuribenzoate. None of the inhibitors concerned permitted to obtain a complete inhibition of ATP hydrolysis. A practically complete inhibition of ATPase was possible only through heat inactivation or after double prefixation with formaldehyde and ethanol. Nonenzymatic ATP hydrolysis plays a negligible role in ATPase histochemistry since phosphate yield taking place due to lead action is insignificant against enzymatic hydrolysis of ATP.

It is found that hexammine cobaltichloride (HAC) which interacts with anionic groups of sulphate-containing glycosamine glycanes, is a specific inhibitor of mitochondrial transport of Ca2+ (semi-maximal inhibition in the presence of 6 nmoles HAC/mg of protein) and Sr2+ (semi-maximal inhibition in the presence of 30 nmoles HAC/mg of protein). Mn2+ translocation was inhibited by considerably higher HAC concentrations, 4-fold increase in the transport rate being observed in the presence of 15 nmoles/mg of protein. Inhibition of Ca2+ translocation is competitive, and its inhibition constant is 6-10(-6) M. HAC (3-120 muM) does not affect respiration, oxidative phosphorylation and DNP-stimulated ATPase activity of liver mitochondria, but at the concentration of 15 muM it decreases markedly the activity of "detergent" ATPase from liver mitochondria. It is suggested that the effect of HAC is due to its interaction with anionic groups of mitochondrial glycoproteins.

Effect of respiration toxins is studied on some properties of mitochondrial membranes and functions connected with ion transport for the expence of ATP energy. The combination of three respiration inhibitors (cyanide, antimycin and rotenone) was shown to develope the following effects: 1) the inhibition of K+ accumulation by mitochondria at the presence of ATP and valinomycin; 2) the decrease in acidification of non-mitochondrial space, accompanying to the K+ transport; 3) the activation of latent mitochondrial ATPase; 4) the inhibition of DNP-stimulated ATPase; 5) the inhibition of mitochondria swelling, caused by K+, Ca2+, or dimethyldibenzylammonium (DDA+) at the presence of ATP+phopshate (or acetate); 6) the stimulation of passive mitochondria swelling in 0.1 MNH4NO3; 7) the inhibition of ATP-induced contraction of mitochondria, swelling in NH4NO3. The data obtained are discussed in a wiev of the conception, which suggests that the attaching of inhibitors to respiration enzymes changes the configuration of the latters, thus disturbing natural structural bond of these enzymes with other protein components of the membrane. The latter can result in the impair of electroisolating membrane properties, in the increase of its conductivity for H+ and other ions, and in the decrease of Vm values of some enzymatic reaction, which are not directly connected with the respiration chain (such as ATPase reaction).

Seasoned variations in the activity of Mg++-ATPase and Mg++-DNP-ATPase have been revealed in studies on ATPase system of mitochondria of skeletal muscles of newborn, 7-, 10-day and adult rabbits. The degree of activation of ATPase by 2-4-DNP did not depend on the age of animals and the season of year. Absolute values for DHPATPhase were lower in young animals in spring. The activity of Mg++- and Mg++-DNP-ATPases and the extent of activation of the enzymes by Mg++ increased with the increase in the age of animals.

Comparison between the effects on various rat liver mitochondrial functions of ethacrynate, a thiol reagent inhibitor of oxidative phosphorylations [3, 4] and those of dihydroethacrynate its saturated derivative which is not a thiol reagent, has been performed. Both, ethacrynate and dihydroethacrynate increase oxygen consumption by mitochondria in state 4 (succinate as substrate) in a concentration dependent way (from 1 to 5 X 10(-4) M EA or DHEA). This activation is followed, only with ethacrynate, by an inhibition appearing sooner with higher concentrations. After preincubation or mitochondria with ethacrynate (1 to 5 X 10(-4) M), the stimulation of respiration by (ADP + Pi) is completely inhibited whereas it is only weakly affected by dihydroethacrynate at the same concentrations. Ethacrynate and dihydroethacrynate provoke variations of intramitochondrial Mg2+ and K+ levels which need energy from the respiratory chain. These are affected by Pi or (Pi + ADP) in a different way with ethacrynate and with dihydroethacrynate. After preincubation with mitochondria, ethacrynate and to a smaller extent dihydroethacrynate, inhibit partially ADP translocation; ADP increases the inhibitory effect of EA on translocation and not that of dihydroethacrynate. Ethacrynate increases the oligomycin sensitive ATPase activity and dihydroethacrynate still more. After a ten minutes preincubation with mitochondria, ethacrynate and dihydroethacrynate hardly affect the 2.4 DNP stimulated ATPase activity. Preincubation with succinate or ADP strongly increases the ethacrynate inhibition whereas it decreases dihydroethacrynate inhibition. Ethacrynate and dihydroethacrynate do not affect the efflux of Pi produced by ATP hydrolysis but ethacrynate enforces the inhibitory effect of mersalyl (Mg2+ containing medium). After ten minutes of preincubation with mitochondria, ethacrynate binds 25 nmoles of -SH/mg protein (DTNB titration) and dihydroethacrynate has no effect. These results show an effect of ethacrynate on two types of thiols linked with energy conservation mechanisms and ADP translocation. These thiols could be unmasked or made accessible by conformational modifications of the inner membrane upon energization or addition of ADP.
