The ATP-energy transducing system in membranes of Escherichia coli is inhibited by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The protein component of this complex with which carbodiimides covalently react to inhibit function was previously identified by labeling wild type and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-resistant mutants with dicyclohexyl[14C]carbodiimide (Fillingame, R. H. (1975) J. Bacteriol. 124, 870-883). This specific carbodiimide-reactive protein has now been purified. The protein was extracted from the membrane with chloroform:methanol and chromatographed on DEAE-cellulose and hydroxypropyl Spehadex G-50 in this sulvent mixture. The resultant 700-fold purification yielded a protein that was homogeneous on dodecyl sulfate-acrylamide gel electrophoresis and virtually free of phospholipid. It remained soluble in neutral chloroform:methanol throughout the purification procedure. The amino acid composition of the purified protein was extraordinary in that only 16% of the amino acids present could be considered polar. Histidine, serine, cysteine, and tryptophan were not found. Abnormally high contents of methionine, glycine, alanine, and leucine were present. One mole of lysine and threonine were found/mole of dicyclohexyl[14C]carbodiimide bound. The minimum molecular weight based on the amino acid composition was 8400. The specific carbodiimide-reactive protein has also been purified without prior modification by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The unmodified protein eluted from DEAE-cellulose at a higher salt concentration than the dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-modified form, which suggested that the reaction with the carbodiimide neutralized the negative charge. Only one-third of the total carbodiimide-reactive protein in the membrane was modified by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide under conditions which maximally inhibited adenosine triphosphatase activity. These results rais the possibility that the carbodiimide-reactive protein may be present as an oligomer in the energy-transducing complex. The purification of the unmodified carbodiimide-reactive protein should permit assessment of tis biological function, particularly its role in the protein-translocation process that is catalyzed by this energy-transducing complex.

Differences exist in the coupling of energy to transport of glycine and phenylalanine in aerobically grown cells of Escherichia coli. Energy derived from respiration, although involved in both uptake systems, is not employed identically as shown by kinetic effects of cyanide and anoxia and by temperature dependencies. Additional evidence for aerobic differences was provided by the effects of azide which greatly decreased initial rates of uptake of glycine but not phenylalanine. The effect on glycine uptake was not due to uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation or to a decrease in respiration rate. Evidence for anaerobic differences was provided by the addition of either glucose or ferricyanide to cell suspensions containing glycerol, thereby maintaining anoxic uptake of phenylalanine, but not glycine, at the aerobic level. Ferricyanide stimulation required a functional Ca, Mg-adenosine 5'-triphosphatase and involved cell metabolism. Ferricyanide was also found to produce differential stimulation of other amino acid transport systems; tyrosine, tryptophan and leucine uptakes were stimulated whereas those for alanine, proline, threonine, and glutamine were relatively unaffected.

Lysine 480 has been suggested to be essential for ATP binding and hydrolysis by Na,K-ATPase because it is labeled by reagents that are thought to react with the ATPase from within the ATP binding site. In order to test this hypothesis, Lys-480 was changed to Ala, Arg, or Glu by site-directed mutagenesis, and the resultant Na,K-ATPase molecules were expressed in yeast cells. The ATPase activity of each of the mutants was similar to the activity of the wild type enzyme indicating that Lys-480 is not essential for ATP hydrolysis. The binding of [3H]ouabain in both ATP-dependent and inorganic phosphate-dependent reactions was used to determine the apparent affinity of each mutant for ATP or Pi. The K0.5(ATP) for ouabain binding to phosphoenzyme formed from ATP was 1-3 microM for Lys-480, Arg-480, and Ala-480, whereas for Glu-480 the K0.5(ATP) was 18 microM. The K0.5(Pi) for ouabain binding to phosphoenzyme formed from inorganic phosphate was 16-28 microM for Lys-480, Arg-480, and Ala-480, but was 74 microM for Glu-480. The Kd for ouabain binding was similar for both the wild type and mutant Na,K-ATPase molecules (3-6 nM). These data indicate that the substitution of an acidic amino acid for lysine at position 480 appears to reduce the affinity of the Na,K-ATPase for both ATP and phosphate. It is concluded that Lys-480 is not essential for ATP binding or hydrolysis or for phosphate binding by Na,K-ATPase but is likely to be located within the ATP binding site of the Na,K-ATPase.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is likely to play an important role in oxidant alveolar epithelium injury. We investigated the effect of H2O2 on uptake of phosphate, alanine in cultured rat alveolar type II cells. H2O2 induced inhibition of Na-dependent component of phosphate and alanine uptakes in time- and concentration-dependent manner. Twenty minutes exposure to 2.5 mM H2O2 decreased the maximum velocity (Vmax) of phosphate and alanine uptake by 50 and 62%, respectively, whereas Michaelis constant (Km) values were unchanged. H2O2 also decreased Na-K-ATPase activity, measured by ouabain-sensitive rubidium influx, and this effect was independent of H2O2-induced ATP depletion. A lipid-soluble antioxidant, d-alpha-tocopherol (20 microM, 24 h), prevented H2O2-induced decrease in Na-coupled uptake and Na-K-ATPase activity. These results indicate that H2O2 affects Na-dependent phosphate and alanine uptakes and suggest that this effect may be related at least, in part, to a decrease in Na transmembrane gradient, since H2O2 also affects Na-K-ATPase activity. The protective effect of d-alpha-tocopherol suggests that peroxidation of the membrane lipids is likely to be involved in the observed effects.

cDNAs for mutant alpha-subunits of Torpedo californica (Na,K)ATPase variously truncated at the N-terminal end were constructed and transcribed in vitro. Each of the mRNAs thus synthesized was co-injected into Xenopus oocytes together with mRNA for wild-type beta-subunit. Truncation of the alpha-subunit at trypsin accessible site T2(removal of the N-terminal 36 residues, alpha delta K37) led to a decrease in ouabain-sensitive ATPase activity and ouabain-binding capacity, leaving the amount of immunoprecipitable alpha-subunit unchanged. The Km values for Na+ and K+ of alpha delta K37 were about 10mM and 2mM, respectively, and fall in the same range for the wild-type ATPase. Truncation of the alpha-subunit leaving lysine-54(alpha delta K54) or alanine-79(alpha delta A79) resulted in the loss of the ATPase activity as well as a substantial decrease in the amount of immunoprecipitable alpha-subunit. Since the beta-subunit assembles with and thereby stabilizes the alpha-subunit, which is otherwise degraded rapidly, these results suggest that the segment of the alpha-subunit between lysine-37 and lysine-54 is involved in the assembly with the beta-subunit leading to the formation of the stable and active alpha beta complex.

The beta subunit of lamb kidney (Na+,K+)-ATPase was isolated by size exclusion high performance liquid chromatography. Treatment of the beta subunit with formic acid yielded two peptide fragments which were purified via reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography. These peptides were identified by sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, amino acid analysis and N-terminal sequencing as (Pro 94-Ser 302), a largely hydrophilic peptide which comprises the major portion of the extracellular domain including six Cys residues which participate in disulfide bond formation and three glycosylation sites and a smaller peptide (Ala 1-Asp 93) which contains the single membrane spanning region and the intracellular domain.

The lipophilic cation tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP+) has been extensively utilized as the probe for the membrane potential (Vm) in various cells. For application to mammalian cells, however, two serious problems require resolution: (1), correction of TPP+ binding to intracellular constituents and (2), estimation of the considerable TPP+ accumulation in mitochondria. We propose here a simple corrective method for the TPP+ binding and its accumulation. TPP+ distribution is assumed as: (1), two compartments (a cytosolic and a mitochondrial space); (2), a proportional relationship between TPP+ bound amount and its unbound concentration in each compartment. We theoretically derived the simple equation: Vm = - RT/F ln(C/Mphys ratio/C/Mabol ratio) where R, T and F have their usual thermodynamic significance. Here, the C/M ratio is defined as the ratio of TPP+ concentration of apparent intracellular to extracellular space. The suffixes phys and abol, respectively, mean the physiological and solely Vm-abolished conditions. This equation was checked with hepatocytes, because estimating hepatocytes Vm with TPP+ distribution is not considered possible because of the relatively high mitochondrial content. The selective Vm abolition was achieved by permeabilization with 20 microM of amphotericin B. The Vm value was, thus, estimated to be -38.6 +/- 0.3 mV, compatible with those obtained with microelectrodes in other laboratories. Vm in hepatocytes is composed of transmembrane K+ diffusion potential (-20.6 +/- 0.3 mV) and electrogenic Na+/K(+)-ATPase (-19.6 +/- 0.4 mV). Addition of rheogenic L-alanine caused a transient but significant depolarization (from control to -34 +/- 0.3 mV). These results taken together indicate that hepatocyte Vm can be accurately determined with the present simple method, so that it may possibly be applicable to the evaluation of Vm in other mammalian cells.

The sodium pump or Na,K-ATPase, maintains the Na+ and K+ gradients across eukaryotic cell membranes at the expense of ATP. Incubation of purified canine renal Na,K-ATPase with 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (SITS) inhibited the ATPase activity. Both the labeling of the protein and the loss of ATPase activity were prevented by co-incubation with ADP (acting as an ATP analog) or KCl. Only the alpha-subunit was labeled by SITS. The alpha-subunit from the inhibited enzyme was extensively digested with trypsin, and SITS-labeled peptides were purified by reverse-phase HPLC and sequenced. The amino acid sequence determined, His-Leu-Leu-Val-Met-X-Gly-Ala-Pro-Glu, indicated that SITS modifies Lys-501 (X) on the alpha-subunit of Na,K-ATPase.

Site-specific mutagenesis was used to analyse the functional roles of the residues Pro328 and Leu332 located in the conserved PEGLL motif of the predicted transmembrane helix M4 in the alpha 1-subunit of the ouabain resistant rat kidney Na+,K(+)-ATPase. cDNAs encoding either of the Na+,K(+)-ATPase mutants Pro328-->Ala and Leu332-->Ala, and wild type, were cloned into the expression vector pMT2 and transfected into COS-1 cells. Ouabain-resistant clones growing in the presence of 10 microM ouabain were isolated, and the Na+,K+, ATP and pH dependencies of the Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity measured in the presence of 10 microM ouabain were analysed. Under these conditions the exogenous expressed Na+,K(+)-ATPase contributed more than 95% of the Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity. The Pro328-->Ala mutant displayed a reduced apparent affinity for Na+ (K0.5 (Na+) 13.04 mM), relative to the wild type (K0.5 (Na+) 7.13 mM). By contrast, the apparent affinity for Na+ displayed by the Leu332-->Ala mutant was increased (K0.5 (Na+) 3.92 mM). Either of the mutants exhibited lower apparent affinity for K+ relative to the wild type (K0.5 (K+) 2.46 mM for Pro328-->Ala and 1.97 mM for Leu332-->Ala, compared with 0.78 mM for wild type). Both mutants exhibited higher apparent affinity for ATP than the wild type (K0.5 (ATP) 0.086 mM for Pro328-->Ala and 0.042 mM for Leu332-->Ala, compared with 0.287 mM for wild type). The influence of pH was in accordance with an acceleration of the E2 (K)-->E1 transition in the mutants relative to the wild type. These data are consistent with a role of Pro328 and Leu332 in the stabilization of the E2 form and of Pro328 in Na+ binding. The possible role of the mutated residues in K+ binding is discussed.

Eight strains carrying amino acid substitutions within the c subunit of the F0F1 ATPase of Escherichia coli have been constructed by using site-directed mutagenesis. Three strains carrying the substitutions Gly-23----Leu, Ala-24----Leu, and Gly-38----Leu, which reside in or near the highly conserved glycine-rich region of the c subunit, are unable to carry out oxidative phosphorylation. Membranes prepared from these strains possess basal levels of ATPase activity. In contrast, strains carrying the substitutions Ile-30----Phe, Gly-33----Leu, Gly-58----Leu, and Lys-34----Val and the Lys-34----Val, Glu-37----Gln double substitution were found to possess a coupled phenotype similar to that of the wild type.
