1. A stable ATPase [EC 3.6.1.3] complex (TF0-F1) from the thermophilic bacterium PS3 was reconstituted into vesicles capable of energy transformation,measured as ATP-dependent enhancement of fluorescence of 8-anilinonoaphthalene-1-sulfonate. 2. The factors necessary for obtaining highly active vesicles were investigated. Cholate and deoxycholate were both required for solubilization of TF0-F1 and P-lipids, and removal of the detergents by dialysis resulted in vesicle formation. Medium of around pH 8 and low ionic strength containing 2.5 mM MgSO4 was found suitable for dialysis. The optimal temperature for reconstitution was 30 degrees with soybean P-lipids and 45 degree with PS3 P-lipids. The optimal ratio of protein to lipid was about 1/50. 3. The vesicles obtained under these conditions were mainly 100-200 nm in diameter, covered with 9.5 nm spheres, and had a bouyant density of 1.06 in sucrose andan internal volume of about 0.5 mul per mg of P-lipids.

The existence of nonadrenergic, noncholinergic nerve components in the autonomic nervous system is now well established. They are strongly represented in the gastrointestinal tract of all vertebrates and have been identified in a variety of other organs, including lung, trachea, bladder, esophagus, eye, seminal vesicles, and possibly parts of the vascular and central nervous systems. Their ultrastructural identification and transmission properties are known and their physiological role is beginning to be understood, at least in the gastrointestinal tract. Evidence that ATP is the transmitter released from nonadrenergic, noncholinergic (purinergic) nerves includes: (a) synthesis and storage of ATP in nerves; (b) release of ATP from the nerves when they are stimulated; (c) exogenously applied ATP mimicking the action of nerve-released transmitter, both producing a specific increase in K+ conductance; (d) the presence of Mg-activated ATPase, 5'nucleotidase, and adenosine deaminase, enzymes, which inactivate ATP; (e) drugs (including 2-substituted imidazolines, 2,2'-pyridylisatogen and dipyridamole), that produce similar blocking or potentiating effects on the response to exogenously applied atp and nerve stimulation.

(1) The mitochondrial ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) Ehrlich ascites cell mitochondria, was inhibited by D-glucose under physiological concentrations of ATP. The generation of ADP by the mitochondrial bound hexokinase, seems to be the reason for the D-glucose inhibitory effect. Reversal of the inhibitory effect of ADP on Ehrlich ascites cell mitochondria ATPase by an ATP-regenerating system was achieved. (2) Dissociation of mitochondrial bound hexokinase from the mitochondria eliminated the inhibitory effect of D-glucose. Rebinding of the hexokinase to the mitochondria regenerated the D-glucose inhibitory effect on Ehrlich ascites cell mitochondria ATPase. (3) Bioflavonoids such as quercetin inhibit the mitochondrial hexokinase activity, but do not change the mitochondrial ATPase activity of isolated Ehrlich ascites tumor cell mitochondria. (4) The inhibitory effect of bioflavonoids on mitochondrial bound hexokinase activity is shown to be dissociable from the ascites tumor cell mitochondria and seems to be associated with regulatory rather than catalitic sites of the enzyme.

Luminal brush border and contraluminal basal-lateral segments of the plasma membrane from the same kidney cortex were prepared. The brush border membrane preparation was enriched in trehalase and gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase, whereas the basal-lateral membrane preparation was enriched in (Na+ + K+1)-ATPase. However, the specific activity of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase in brush border membranes also increased relative to that in the crude plasma membrane fraction, suggesting that (Na+ + K+)-ATPase may be an intrinsic constituent of the renal brush border membrane in addition to being prevalent in the basal-lateral membrane. Adenylate cyclase had the same distribution pattern as (Na+ + K+)-ATPase, i.e. higher specific activity in basal-lateral membranes and present in brush border membranes. Adenylate cyclase in both membrane preparations was stimulated by parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, epinephrine, prostaglandins and 5'-guanylylimidodiphosphate. When the agonists were used in combination enhancements were additive. In contrast to the distribution of adenylate cyclase, guanylate cyclase was found in the cytosol and in basal-lateral membranes with a maximal specific activity (NaN3 plus Triton X-100) 10-fold that in brush border membranes. ATP enhanced guanylate cyclase activity only in basal-lateral membranes. It is proposed that guanylate cyclase, in addition to (Na+ + K+)-ATPase, be used as an enzyme "marker" for the renal basal-lateral membrane.

(Na+ + K+)-ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) was purified from human cadaver renal tissue and exhibited a linear reaction rate with time. 100 g of whole kidney would yield 1--3.5 mg protein with a specific activity of 50--200 mol - kg-1 - h-1 for (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. The preparation was completely inhibited by 100 micronM ouabain with a Ki of 1.8 micronM. K+-dependent phosphatase increased during purification of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase to 7.8 mol - kg-1 - h-1. There was no detectable Mg2+-ATPase in the final preparation. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis yielded three protein peaks of 117 000, 92 500, and 56 000 daltons. The peptide band corresponding to 92 500 daltons underwent an Na+-dependent phosphorylation with [gamma-32P]-ATP. The band at 56 000 daltons stained for glycoprotein. The Km for ATP was 0.38 mM and that for Mg2+ was 0.5 mM. The formation of ADP and inorganic phosphate from ATP was stoichiometric. The Km for Na+ in the presence of 20 mM K+ was 16 mM and the Km for K+ in the presence of 100 mM Na+ was 1.5 mM. The temperature optimum was 51degrees C and the pH optimum was 7.0. (Na+ + K+)-ATPase in whole homogenate, microsomes, and NaI-treated microsomes exhibited a slowing of reaction rate (non-linearity) with time such that the enzyme was inactive by 10--15 min of reaction. This non-linearity was eliminated during purification. The significance is discussed.

An uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation causes an instantaneous cessation of movement of bacteria Rhodospirillum rubrum in the presence and in the absence of oligomycin. It is concluded that such cessation is not due to a decrease in the ATP concentration but to the elimination of deltamicron-H+ by the uncoupler. The mobility of the bacteria does not practically change in the presence of acetate and is, to some extent, decreased after addition of valinomycin or penetrating cation of tetraphenyl phosphonium. Under a combined action of acetate and valinomycin the movement is depleted. It is concluded that both constituents of deltamicronH+-transmembrane difference of electric potentials and the pH gradient--may serve as energy sources for the bacteria movement. Inhibitory analysis data suggest that the bacteria movement may be maintained by any of the deltamicronH+ sources, e.g. light-dependent cyclic electron transfer, respiration, ATPase and membrane pyrophosphatase.

Inhibition of Ca2+-dependent ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes (SRM) by platinum and palladium complexes is considerable enhanced during the incubation of these compunds with SRM preparations in the presence of small (10(-5) M) concentrations of ATP or ADP. AMP and nucleotides with non-adenine bases do not have inhibitory effect. To increase the sensitivity of Ca2+-dependent ATPase to platinum and palladium complexes under the action of ATP (but not ADP), the presence of free Ca2+-ions in the medium is required. In the absence of ATP Ca2+-ions do not affect the inhibiting effect of the complexes. The increase in pH of the medium up to 8.5 and the increase of temperature up to 45degree C sharply decrease the ATP ability to enchance the sensitivity of Ca2+-dependent ATPase to platinum and palladium compunds. It is assumed that the ATP ability to enhance Ca2+-dependent ATPase inhibition by platinum and palladium complexes is due to ATP-dependent structural changes in SRM, which increase the availability of certain groups of the enzyme to those compounds.

Stable membrane proteins and lipids are convenient to study biomembranes. Two stable proton translocating proteins were purified and reconstituted into vesicles capable of proton translocation. One was a thermostable ATPase (TF0-F1) of thermophilic bacterium PS3 and the other was rhodopsin of Halobacterium halobium. TF0-F1 was composed of a proton pump moiety (TF1) and a proton channel moiety (TF0). TF1 was the first membrane ATPase which was crystallized and reconstituted from its five polypeptides. Like TF0 and TF1, the rhodopsin in purple membrane was highly stable against dissociating agents, acids and alkali. Phospholipids of these biomembranes were also stable and contained no unsaturated fatty acyl groups. The molecular species of the phospholipids of PS3 were determined by mass chromatography. Measurements were made of the difference in electrochemical potential of protons (deltamicronH+) across the membrane of the reconstituted vesicles. The deltamicronH+ attained was 312 mV in TF0-F1 vesciles and was 230 mV in the rhodopsin vesicles. To conclude that electron transport components are not necessary for ATP synthesis in energy yielding biomembranes, two experiments were performed: The ATP synthesis was observed i) on acid-base treatment of TF0-F1 vesicles, and ii) on illumination of the rhodopsin-TF0-F1 vesicles.

In Halobacterium halobium, proton pumping driven by light or by respiration generates an electrochemical potential difference across the membrane. Energy storage in this form is only transient. Cellular energy transducers competing with proton leaks stabilize this free energy as high energy phosphate bonds, electrochemical potential of other ions, and chemical potential of amino acids and possibly other chemical species. The pH changes induced by light or by respiration in cell suspensions are complicated by proton flows associated with the functioning of the cellular energy transducers. Dominant is the proton inflow coupled to the synthesis of ATP, which has been kinetically resolved. A proton-per-ATP ratio of about 3 is calculated from simultaneous measurements of photophosphorylation and the proton inflow. This value is compatible with the chemiosmotic coupling hypothesis. The time course of the light-induced changes in membrane potential indicates that light-driven pumping increases a dark preexisting potential of about 130 mV only by a small amount (20-30 mV). The complex kinetic features of the membrane potential changes do not closely follow those of the pH changes, indicating that flows of ions other than protons are involved. A qualitative model consistent with the available data is presented. A salient feature of this model is a sudden relaxation of the protonmotive force by a proton inflow through the ATPase when the preexisting protonmotive force is increased by light or respiration and reaches a critical value. The trigger could be either the proton-motive force, the pH gradient, or possibly the internal pH.

gamma-Glutamylcysteine synthetase was purified from rat liver by an improved method involving chromatography on Sepharose-aminohexyl-ATP to a specific activity of about 1600 units/mg, or approximately twice that previously obtained; it is thus the most active preparation of this enzyme thus far isolated. The earlier preparation, which is homogeneous on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, exhibits "half of the sites" reactivity in that it binds a maximum of 0.5 mol of the inhibitor L-methionine-S-sulfoximine phosphate per mol of enzyme. In contrast, the present enzyme preparation binds 1 mol of methionine sulfoximine phosphate per mol of enzyme; it also differs from the enzyme obtained earlier in exhibiting much less ATPase activity and less activity in catalyzing ATP-dependent cyclization of glutamate. gamma-Glutamylcysteine synthetase dissociates in sodium dodecyl sulfate into two nonidentical subunits of apparent molecular weights 74,000 and 24,000; after cross-linking with dimethyl-suberimidate, a species having a molecular weight of about 100,000 was found on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. New information has been obtained about the interaction of the enzyme with glutamate analogs; thus, the enzyme is active with such glutamate analogs as beta-glutamate, N-methyl-L-glutamate, and threo-beta-hydroxy-L-glutanate, and it is effectively inhibited by cis-1-amino-1,3-dicarboxycyclonexane, 2-amino-4-phosphonobutyrate, and gamma-methylglutamate.
