Proline porter II is rapidly activated when nongrowing bacteria are subjected to a hyperosmotic shift (Grothe, S., Krogsrud, R. L., McClellan, D. J., Milner, J. L., and Wood, J. M. (1986) J. Bacteriol. 166, 253-259). Proline porter II was active in membrane vesicles prepared from bacteria grown under optimal conditions, nutritional stress, or osmotic stress. That activity was: (i) dependent on the presence of the energy sources phenazine methosulphate plus ascorbate or D-lactate; (ii) observed only when a hyperosmotic shift accompanied the transport measurement; (iii) inhibited by glycine betaine in a manner analogous to that observed in whole cells; and (iv) eliminated by lesions in proP. Membrane vesicles were able to transport serine but not glutamine and serine transport was reduced by the hyperosmotic shift. In whole cells, proline porter II activity was supported by glucose and by D-lactate in a strain defective for proline porters I and III and the F1F0-ATPase. Glucose energized proline uptake was eliminated by carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone and KCN as was serine uptake. These results suggested that proline porter II was respiration-dependent and probably ion-linked. Activation of proline porter II in whole cells by sucrose or NaCl was sustained over 30 min, whereas activation by glycerol was transient. Proline porter II was activated by NaCl and sucrose with a half-time of approximately 1 min in both whole cells and membrane vesicles. Thus, activation of proline porter II was reversible. It occurred at a rate comparable to that of K+ influx and much more rapid than the genetic regulatory responses that follow a hyperosmotic shift.

The kinetic mechanism of carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase II from Syrian hamster kidney cells has been determined at pH 7.2 and 37 degrees C. Initial velocity, product inhibition, and dead-end inhibition studies of both the biosynthetic and bicarbonate-dependent adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) reactions are consistent with a partially random sequential mechanism in which the ordered addition of MgATP, HCO3-, and glutamine is followed by the ordered release of glutamate and Pi. Subsequently, the binding of a second MgATP is followed by the release of MgADP, which precedes the random release of carbamoyl phosphate and a second MgADP. Carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase II catalyzes beta gamma-bridge:beta-nonbridge positional oxygen exchange of [gamma-18O]ATP in both the ATPase and biosynthetic reactions. Negligible exchange is observed in the strict absence of HCO3- (and glutamine or NH4+). The ratio of moles of MgATP exchanged to moles of MgATP hydrolyzed (nu ex/nu cat) is 0.62 for the ATPase reaction, and it is 0.39 and 0.16 for the biosynthetic reaction in the presence of high levels of glutamine and NH4+, respectively. The observed positional isotope exchange is suppressed but not eliminated at nearly saturating concentrations of either glutamine or NH4+, suggesting that this residual exchange results from either the facile reversal of an E-MgADP-carboxyphosphate-Gln(NH4+) complex or exchange within an E-MgADP-carbamoyl phosphate-MgADP complex, or both. In the 31P NMR spectra of the exchanged [gamma-18O]ATP, the distribution patterns of 16O in the gamma-phosphorus resonances in all samples reflect an exchange mechanism in which a rotationally unhindered molecule of [18O3, 16O]Pi does not readily participate. These results suggest that the formation of carbamate from MgATP, HCO3-, and glutamine proceeds via a stepwise, not concerted mechanism, involving at least one kinetically competent covalent intermediate, such as carboxyphosphate.

Chicken gizzard myosin was modified with N-iodoacetyl-N'-(5-sulfo-1-naphthyl)-ethylenediamine (IAEDANS) in the presence of ATP and in 0.15 M KCl, where the myosin assumed 10S conformation. From the tryptic digest of the modified myosin, a fluorescent fragment (24 kilodaltons) was isolated by gel filtration on a Sephadex G-100 column followed by chromatography on a CM 52 column. The amino acid sequence of the fragment was analyzed by conventional methods, and was: (S,Z)K-P-L-S-D-D-E-K-F-L-F-V-D-K-N-F-V-N-N-P-L-A-Q-A-D-W-S-A-K-K- L-V-W-V-P-S-E-K-H-G-F-E-A-A-S-I-K-E-E-K-G-D-E-V-T-V-E-L-Q-E-N-G-K-K- V-T-L-S-K-D-D-I-Q-K-M-N-P-P-K-F-S-K-V-E-D-M-A-E-L-T-C-L-N-E-A-S-V-L- H-N-L-R-E-R-Y-F-S-G-L-I-Y-T-Y-S-G-L-F-C-V-V-I-N-P-Y-K-Q-L-P-I-Y-S-E-K-I- I-D-M-Y-K-G-K-K-R-H-E-M-P-P-H-I-Y-A-I-A-D-T-A-Y-R-S-M-L-Q-D-R-E-D-Q- S-I-L-C-T-G-E-S-G-A-G-K-T-E-N-T-K-K-V-I-Q-Y-L-A-V-V-A-S-S-H-K-G-K. The amino-terminus was blocked, and the fragment was assigned as an amino-terminal part of the heavy chain of gizzard myosin. Position 127 was occupied by epsilon-N-trimethyllysine. Trp-130 of rabbit skeletal myosin heavy chain, which was reported to cross-link to an azide derivative of ATP by Okamoto and Yount (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S. 82, 1575-1579 (1985], was replaced by glutamine in gizzard myosin. Cys-93 of the fragment is the amino acid residue whose reaction with IAEDANS alters the ATPase activity of gizzard myosin (Onishi, H. (1985) J. Biochem. 98, 81-86).

We present evidence that cysteine 269 of the small subunit of Escherichia coli carbamyl phosphate synthetase is essential for the hydrolysis of glutamine. When cysteine 269 is replaced with glycine or with serine by site-directed mutagenesis of the carA gene, the resulting enzymes are unable to catalyze carbamyl phosphate synthesis with glutamine as nitrogen donor. Even though the glycine 269, and particularly the serine 269 enzyme bind significant amounts of glutamine, neither glycine 269 nor serine 269 can hydrolyze glutamine. The mutations at cysteine 269 do not affect carbamyl phosphate synthesis with NH3 as substrate. The NH3-dependent activity of the mutant enzymes was equal to that of wild-type. Measurements of Km indicate that the enzyme uses unionized NH3 rather than ammonium ion as substrate. The apparent Km for NH3 of the wild-type enzyme is calculated to be about 5 mM, independent of pH. The substitution of cysteine 269 with glycine or with serine results in a decrease of the apparent Km value for NH3 from 5 mM with the wild-type to 3.9 mM with the glycine, and 2.9 mM with the serine enzyme. Neither the glycine nor the serine mutation at position 269 affects the ability of the enzyme to catalyze ATP synthesis from ADP and carbamyl phosphate. Allosteric properties of the large subunit are also unaffected. However, substitution of cysteine 269 with glycine or with serine causes an 8- and 18-fold stimulation of HCO-3 -dependent ATPase activity, respectively. The increase in ATPase activity and the decrease in apparent Km for NH3 provide additional evidence for an interaction of the glutamine binding domain of the small subunit with one of the two known ATP sites of the large subunit.

The ability of either glucose or D-lactate to energize active transport of amino acids in E. coli was studied in starved cells blocked at specific sites of energy metabolism. Proline uptake could be driven by either oxidative or substrate-level processes. The oxidative pathway was sensitive to cyanide but not to arsenate, and operated normally in a mutant deficient in the Ca, Mg-dependent ATPase. The substrate-level pathway, which was active with glucose but not with D-lactate as the carbon source, was sensitive to arsenate but not to cyanide, and required a functional ATPase. Uncouplers prevented the utilization of energy for proline uptake by either pathway. Energy coupling for glutamine uptake was quite different. The oxidative pathway was sensitive to cyanide and uncouplers and, in contrast with proline, required an active ATPase. The glycolytic component was resistant to cyanide and uncouplers, and functioned normally in the ATPase mutant. Arsenate abolished glutamine transport energized by either pathway. The results suggest that proline transport is driven directly by an energy-rich membrane state, which can be generated by either electron transport or ATP hydrolysis. Glutamine uptake, on the other hand, is apparently driven directly by phosphate-bond energy formed by way of oxidative or substrate-level phosphorylations.

1. Acute NH(4) (+) toxicity was studied by using a new apparatus that removes and freezes the brains of conscious rats within 1s. 2. Brains were removed and frozen 5min after intraperitoneal injection of ammonium acetate (2-3min before the onset of convulsions). Arterial [NH(4) (+)] rose from less than 0.01 to 1.74mm at 4-5min. The concentrations of all glycolytic intermediates measured, except glucose 6-phosphate, were increased by the indicated percentage above the control value as follows: glucose (by 41%), fructose 1,6-diphosphate (by 133%), dihydroxyacetone phosphate (by 164%), alpha-glycerophosphate (by 45%), phosphoenolpyruvate (by 67%) and pyruvate (by 26%). 4. Citrate and alpha-oxoglutarate concentrations were unchanged and that of malate was increased (by 17%). 5. Adenine nucleotides and P(i) concentrations were unchanged but the concentration of creatine phosphate decreased slightly (by 6%). 6. Brain [NH(4) (+)] increased from 0.2 to 1.53mm. Net glutamine synthesis occurred at an average rate of 0.33mumol/min per g. 7. The rate of brain glucose utilization was measured in vivo as 0.62mumol/min per g in controls and 0.81mumol/min per g after NH(4) (+) injection. 8. The arteriovenous difference of glucose and O(2) increased by 35%. 9. No significant arteriovenous differences of glutamate or glutamine were detected. Thus, although much NH(4) (+) was incorporated into glutamine the latter was not rapidly released from the brain to the circulation. 10. Plasma [K(+)] increased from 3.3 to 5.4mm. 11. The results indicate that NH(4) (+) stimulates oxidative metabolism but does not interfere with brain energy balance. The increased rate of oxidative metabolism could not be accounted for only on the basis of glutamine synthesis. We suggest that increased extracellular [NH(4) (+)] and [K(+)] decreased the resting transmembrane potential and stimulated Na(+),K(+)-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase activity thus accounting for the increased metabolic rate.

The transport of glutamate, apparently a primary energy source for Coxiella burnetii, has been examined. C. burnetii is shown to possess a pH-dependent active transport system for L-glutamate with an apparent Kt of 61.1 microM and Vmax of 8.33 pmol/s per mg at pH 3.5. Both L-glutamine and L-asparagine competitively inhibited transport of glutamate, but D-glutamate, L-aspartate, L-glutamate-gamma-methyl ester, methionine sulfoximine, or alpha-ketoglutarate did not compete. This transport system is both temperature and energy dependent. Uptake of glutamate is highly sensitive to uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation such as 2,4-dinitrophenol and carbonyl cyanide-m-chlorophenyl hydrazone that decrease the proton motive force across the cytoplasmic membrane. ATPase inhibitors such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide or metabolic poisons such as KCN, NaF, or arsenite were much less effective as inhibitors of glutamate transport. Uptake of glutamate did not appear to be coupled to Na+ symport as in Escherichia coli since no monovalent cation requirement could be demonstrated. Instead, the Vmax of glutamate transport showed good correlation with the transmembrane pH gradient (delta pH). From these results, we propose that L-glutamate transport by C. burnetii is energized via a proton motive force.

1. A procedure for the isolation of tightly coupled mitochondria from human early placenta is described. 2. Mitochondria obtained by this method were able to oxidize Krebs cycle intermediates, pyruvate, glutamate, glutamine, palmitoyl-carnitine, alpha-glycerophosphate and beta-hydroxybutyrate. 3. These mitochondria incubated in the medium containing ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid and bovine serum albumin and no added Mg2+ ions exhibited a high respiratory control and adenosine diphosphate:oxygen (ADP:O) ratios corresponding to the theoretical values for all substrates tested. Addition of Mg2+ ions markedly reduced the respiratory control index and ADP:O ratio. 4. Adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity in the obtained mitochondrial preparation was stimulated about tenfold by Mg2+. Oligomycin inhibited Mg2+-stimulated ATPase activity by about 25 per cent, but completely inhibited this activity in the absence of Mg2+ ions. 5. It is concluded that the effect of Mg2+ ions on the respiratory control and ADP:O ratio reported in this paper is exerted mainly through the Mg/+-stimulated oligomycin-insensitive ATPase activity.

It is possible to select transmembrane potential (delta psi)-altered mutants in Streptococcus pneumoniae on the basis of their resistance to the antifolate methotrexate. Comparison of such a mutant strain ( amiA9 ) with its parent was used to evaluate the role of delta psi in the uptake of certain amino acids. The delta psi-dependent uptake of isoleucine, leucine, valine, and asparagine showed a reduced maximum velocity of uptake, and decrease in the transport constant of the energy-dependent, delta psi-independent uptake of lysine, methionine, and glutamine was observed. No reduction of the intracellular pool of ATP or of lactate excretion could be detected in the mutant strain. Moreover, studies on membrane preparations suggest that the phenotype expressed by the amiA mutation is not a consequence of alteration of its ATPase activity or susceptibility to N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Therefore, it is unlikely that the amiA mutation affects the H+ F1F0 ATPase which is involved in the establishment of the proton motive force in anaerobic bacteria. We propose that another function contributes to delta psi in S. pneumoniae. The amiA gene may be the structural gene of that function.

A gentamicin-resistant mutant of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO503 was selected after ethyl methane sulfonate mutagenesis. The strain, P. aeruginosa PAO2401 had increased resistance to all aminoglycosides tested but exhibited no change for other antibiotics. The mutation designated aglA (aminoglycoside resistance) was 50% cotransducible with the 8-min ilvB,C marker on the P. aeruginosa chromosome. It showed a marked reduction in cytochrome c(552) and nitrate reductase (Nar) and a change in terminal oxidase activity. Cytochrome c(552) is a component of the P. aeruginosa Nar. No changes in succinate and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dehydrogenases, ubiquinone content, Mg(2+)/Ca(2+) membrane adenosine triphosphatase, and energy coupling of electron transport to adenosine 5'-triphosphate synthesis were detected. Transport of gentamicin and dihydrostreptomycin was impaired in PAO2401, but transport of proline, arginine, glutamine, glucose or the polyamine spermidine was not reduced. Ribosomes of PAO2401, and PAO503 bound dihydrostreptomycin equally well, and cell extracts did not inactivate gentamicin or dihydrostreptomycin. Strain PAO2401 is resistant to gentamicin and dihydrostreptomycin because of impaired transport of these compounds. The transport studies indicate a selective coupling of dihydrostreptomycin and gentamicin transport with terminal electron transport. This conclusion was supported by results from another mutant (PAO417-T2) with increased Nar activity, enhanced dihydrostreptomycin and gentamicin transport and a reduction in resistance to these drugs. These results are discussed in relation to a refined model for aminoglycoside transport and briefly relative to plasmid-mediated aminoglycoside resistance.
