1. Membrane fractions were obtained from homogenates of olfactory rosettes from Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) or from isolated olfactory cilia and homogenates of deciliated olfactory rosettes. 2. Specific binding of L-[3H]alanine was saturable, high-affinity, and effectively inhibited by L-threonine, L-serine and L-alanine but not by L-lysine or L-glutamic acid. Comparable results were obtained with L-[3H]serine except for the presence of a second, lower affinity, binding site for L-alanine but not L-serine. 3. Specific binding of L-[3H]alanine was inhibited by low concentrations of mercury ion, acidic pH, and high concentrations of cadmium, copper or zinc ions. Aluminum had no effect. 4. Specific binding sites for L-alanine were present in membranes from isolated cilia at a level 2-fold that of membranes prepared from the deciliated rosette. 5. Ouabain sensitive Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity was also determined in cilia preparations. This enzyme was present in cilia at a level approximately 3-fold that of membranes prepared from the deciliated rosette. 6. The results are consistent with the presence of an olfactory alanine receptor in S. salar with binding characteristics similar to those of a variety of other fish species and with a localization on olfactory cilia as well as non-ciliated receptor cell membranes.

The Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli MutS protein is one of several methyl-directed mismatch repair proteins that act together to correct replication errors. MutS is homologous to the Streptococcus pneumoniae HexA mismatch repair protein and to the Duc1 and Rep1 proteins of human and mouse. Homology between the deduced amino acid sequence of both MutS and HexA, and the type A nucleotide binding site consensus sequence, suggested that ATP binding and hydrolysis play a role in their mismatch repair functions. We found that MutS does indeed weakly hydrolyze ATP to ADP and Pi, with a Km of 6 microM and kcat of 0.26. To show that this activity is intrinsic to MutS, we made a site-directed mutation, which resulted in the invariant lysine of the nucleotide binding consensus sequence being changed to an alanine. The mutant MutS allele was unable to complement a mutS::Tn10 mutation in vivo, and was dominant over wild type when present in high copy number. The purified mutant protein had reduced ATPase activity, with the Km affected more severely than the kcat. Like the wild type MutS protein, the mutant protein is able to bind heteroduplex DNA specifically, but the mutant protein does so with a reduced affinity.

The alpha-subunit of the Na+/K(+)-ATPases from several animal species have markedly similar amino acid sequences. However, the N-terminal sequences of the alpha-subunit are rather divergent except for lysine-rich sequences, the 'lysine cluster'. Here we report that the alpha-subunit from frog (Rana catesbeiana) has an N-terminal sequence with the 29 amino acid residues shorter than that of the Xenopus alpha-subunit deduced from its cDNA and hence lacks the 'lysine cluster'. Nevertheless, the Rana enzyme still exhibits ATPase activity. The ATP-dependent Na+ transport activity of the Rana enzyme was similar to that of the dog enzyme, which contains the 'lysine cluster'. Moreover, the Torpedo alpha-subunits deprived of the 'lysine cluster' by means of two gene deletions showed the same Na+/K(+)-ATPase activities as that of the wild type when expressed in Xenopus oocytes from their mRNAs. These results strongly suggest that the 'lysine cluster' in the N-terminal region of the alpha-subunit is not involved in the ATPase and ion transport activities. Since an active alpha-subunit was translated in Xenopus oocytes from mRNA lacking the N-terminal region including the 'lysine cluster', these regions were proved not to function as a membrane insertion signal sequence.

Illumination of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles by ultraviolet light in the presence of 1 mM vanadate causes photocleavage of the Ca(2+)-ATPase into two fragments (Vegh et al. (1990) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1023, 168-183). In the absence of Ca2+ the photocleavage occurs in the N-terminal half of the molecule near the phosphate acceptor Asp-351. In the presence of 2 mM Ca2+ the photocleavage shifts to the C-terminal half of the ATPase, near the FITC binding site (Lys-515). About half of the Ca(2+)-ATPase was cleaved rapidly, accompanied by nearly complete, irreversible loss of ATPase activity when illuminated in the presence of 2 mM CaCl2; further cleavage of the enzyme was slow and affected primarily the C-terminal fragment produced in the presence of Ca2+. Solubilization of the Ca(2+)-ATPase with C12E8 did not affect the site of photocleavage in either conformation. The vanadate-induced Ca(2+)-ATPase crystals were disrupted during photocleavage, while the binding of anti-ATPase antibodies directed against the phosphorylation site (PR-8) and against the FITC binding region (PR-11) was enhanced. The bovine kidney Na+,K(+)-ATPase was insensitive to photocleavage under conditions where about half the Ca(2+)-ATPase was fragmented. The slight cleavage of the pig gastric H+,K(+)-ATPase after prolonged illumination produced fragments that are distinct from the fragments of the Ca(2+)-ATPase.

N-terminal deletion mutants of Na,K-ATPase alpha 1 isoforms initiating translation at Met34 (alpha 1T1) or at Met43 (alpha 1T2) were expressed in X. laevis oocytes. Compared to beta 3 cRNA injected controls, the co-expression of alpha 1wt, alpha 1T1, alpha 1T2 with beta 3 subunits results in a 2- to 3-fold increase of ouabain binding sites, parallelled by a concomitant increase in Na,K-pump current. The apparent K1/2 for potassium activation of the alpha 1T2/beta 3 Na,K-pumps is significantly higher than that of the alpha 1wt/beta 3 or alpha 1T1/beta 3 Na,K-pumps expressed at the cell surface. Total deletion of the lysine-rich N-terminal domain thus allows the expression of active Na,K-pump but with distinct cation transport properties.

1. Modification of Lys residues of the Ca(2+)-ATPase from human red blood cells with methyl acetimidate (MA) inhibited up to 70% of the Ca(2+)-ATPase activity. Furthermore, calmodulin-activated p-nitrophenyl phosphatase activity was fully inhibited at non-limiting concentrations of MA. 2. Treatment with MA inhibited phosphorylation of the Ca(2+)-ATPase. 3. When the enzyme was treated with 7.2 mM-MA in the presence of 100 microM-Ca2+, Ca(2+)-ATPase activity was decreased by 33%, whereas when the membranes were treated with MA in the presence of 50 microM-VO4(3-), this activity was decreased by only 8%. 4. When membranes were either proteolysed or preincubated with 1 mM-Ca2+, MA quickly inactivated the Ca(2+)-ATPase (k = 1.2 min-1). On the other hand, inactivation of membranes preincubated in the absence of Ca2+ and Mg2+ was slow (k = 0.08 min-1). 5. When the activity was measured in the absence of calmodulin, MA decreased to the same extent the values of KCa (the apparent dissociation constant for Ca2+) and Vmax, but in the presence of calmodulin the treatment decreased Vmax. only. 6. The results are consistent with the idea that MA reacts readily with the Ca(2+)-ATPase when the enzyme is in an E1 conformation, but not an E2 conformation, and that, reciprocally, treatment of the enzyme with MA shifts the enzyme to E1. 7. Provided that Ca2+ is present, ATP, with low apparent affinity (K0.5 = 195 microM), protected against inactivation by MA. However, MA treatment did not change the Km values of either the high-affinity or the low-affinity site for ATP, suggesting that protection results from a shift to a conformation in which the Lys residues are inaccessible to MA.

Uptake by the multispecific bile acid transport system of [3H]taurocholate, [14C]cholate, and [3H]-bumetanide into primary cultures of rat hepatocytes was compared with their uptake into freshly isolated rat hepatocytes. The uptake maximum velocity (Vmax) of all compounds declined in primary culture, whereas the Michaelis constant (Km) values remained stable. Loss of uptake was not due to the reduction of driving forces as evaluated from the level of ATP and the activity of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase. No alpha-fetoprotein was detectable in culture supernatants. Neither growth factors (glycylhistidyl-lysine, epidermal growth factor), peroxisome and cell proliferators (nafenopin, dimethyl sulfoxide), nor bile acids prevented the loss of transport in hepatocyte culture. However, addition of dibutyryl adenosine 3'5'-cyclic monophosphate protracted the transport activity significantly. When cultured rat hepatocytes with reduced transport were detached by trypsin, cells rounded up and showed the same uptake capacity for bumetanide, cholate, and taurocholate as seen in freshly isolated hepatocytes. "Cryptic" transport activity in the lower basolateral membrane facing the support was found using an incubation chamber for cultured hepatocytes, which allowed us to distinguish simultaneously between uptake via the upper and lower basolateral membrane of the cultured cells.

Effect of protein deficient diet on hepatic plasma membrane fluidity has been studied in rats using (i) steady state fluorescence polarization and anisotropy, (ii) phospholipid and cholesterol contents, (iii) phospholipid fatty acid composition, (iv) turnover of phosphatidyl choline (PC), and (v) activities of membrane-bound enzymes as parameters and rats fed casein (20%) diet as standard group. A significant increase in steady state fluorescence and anisotropy values was registered in the deficient group, indicating increased resistance and hence decrease in fluidity of the plasma membrane. Supplementation of the diet with lysine and threonine improved these values, thereby suggesting the significance of diet for membrane fluidity. Simultaneous significant alterations in other parameters, viz. (i) decrease in PC, PE and free cholesterol and increase in esterified cholesterol contents, (ii) decrease in unsaturation of fatty acids of PC, (iii) decrease in incorporation of NaH2 32PO4, [CH3-14C]choline and [CH3-14C]methionine into plasma membrane PC, and (iv) decrease in activities of plasma membrane 5'-nucleotidase and phosphodiesterase along with increase of (Na(+)-K+)ATPase and adenyl cyclase, were observed in the deficient group which on supplementation with lysine and threonine showed improvement over alterations.

Four mutant calmodulins with site-specific charge alterations have been used to activate the human erythrocyte Ca2(+)-ATPase. These charge alterations were accomplished either by insertion of new Lys residues or by substitution of Lys residues for Glu in two of the seven calmodulin alpha-helices. Two enzyme preparations, purified monomeric Ca2(+)-ATPase and erythrocyte ghost membranes, were used with comparable results. At 100 nM Ca2+, the Ca2(+)-ATPase activity was lowered significantly by charge reversal from negative to positive in both the central alpha-helix and the carboxy-terminal domain. While all mutant calmodulins with charge reversal ultimately stimulated the Ca2(+)-ATPase activity to the same extent, the concentration of mutant calmodulin required for half-maximal activation was from 36-fold (central alpha-helix) to 126-fold higher (alpha-helix in the carboxy-terminal domain) than that of the control calmodulin. There was also a significant difference in the stimulation of Ca2(+)-ATPase activity by the different mutant calmodulins as a function of Ca2+ concentration, being most pronounced at submicromolar Ca2+ concentrations where enzyme activation by calmodulin appears to be a physiologically relevant mechanism. In contrast to the mutant calmodulins with charge reversal, mutant calmodulins in which two positive charges were added in the central alpha-helix activated the Ca2(+)-ATPase in a way undistinguishable from the control calmodulin.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The effects of amino acid substitutions in the carboxyl terminal region of the H(+)-ATPase a subunit (271 amino acid residues) of Escherichia coli were studied using a defined expression system for uncB genes coded by recombinant plasmids. The a subunits with the mutations, Tyr-263----end, Trp-231----end, Glu-219----Gln, and Arg-210----Lys (or Gln) were fully defective in ATP-dependent proton translocation, and those with Gln-252----Glu (or Leu), His-245----Glu, Pro-230----Leu, and Glu-219----His were partially defective. On the other hand, the phenotypes of the Glu-269----end, Ser-265----Ala (or end), and Tyr-263----Phe mutants were essentially similar to that of the wild-type. These results suggested that seven amino acid residues between Ser-265 and the carboxyl terminus were not required for the functional proton pathway but that all the other residues except Arg-210, Glu-219, and His-245 were required for maintaining the correct conformation of the proton pathway. The results were consistent with a report that Arg-210 is directly involved in proton translocation.
