Mammalian and avian muscles were examined histochemically and biochemically to determine the relative contribution of membrane bound (mitochondrial and sarcotubular) ATPases under the same conditions employed for myofibrillar ATPase. For histochemically investigated Ca+(+)-ATPase activity following incubation at pH 9.4 according to the calcium-citro-phosphate technique, avian muscle displayed distinct mitochondrial localization in both dark and light staining fibres. However, mitochondrial localization did not occur in mammalian muscle fibres. Pretreatment of unfixed frozen sections with ouabain, cyanide and acetone did not prevent the reticular distribution in avian muscle fibres. The present study demonstrates that "myofibrillar" localization is achieved by the Ca+(+)-precipitation technique: provided frozen sections are pretreated with cold acetone, fixed in a fixative containing oligomycin or azide and then incubated in a medium containing glycine-NaO H as buffer. Mitochondria prepared by successive mechanical homogenization or by Nagarse treatment plus 2 min homogenization develop different ATPase activities at pH 9.4 7.4 6.0 and 4.35 as well as stimulation by 70 mM Ca++ at these pHs compared to those ATPase activities in the homogenate of mixed hamster hind leg muscles. Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase (both located at the outer surface of the inner mitochondrial membrane) and succinate dehydrogenase and glutamate dehydrogenase (localized at the inner mitochondrial membrane and in the matrix resp.) also show different activities in both mitochondria preparations indicating different membrane properties of both mitochondria. Evidence is obtained that using the calcium-citro-phosphate technique at pH 9.4 oligomycin-sensitive and -insensitive ATPases are activated by Ca++ in both mitochondria preparations. Since in muscle homogenate less than 10% of Ca+(+)-stimulated ATPase activity is oligomycin-sensitive, mitochondrial ATPase exhibit only a small portion of total ATPase from mixed hamster hind leg muscles.

Ca2+ accumulation and endogenous respiration of sporulating Bacillus megaterium are inhibited to the same extent by electron-transport of inhibitors and the uncoupler carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone, suggesting that Ca2+ is accumulated by an active transport process. Forespores isolated in stage V of sporulation demonstrated Ca2+-specific carrier-mediated Ca2+ uptake, consistent with downhill transfer [Hogarth & Ellar (1978) Biochem. J. 176, 197-203]. In the present studies forespore Ca2+ uptake was unaffected by carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone and by concentrations of respiratory inhibitor that inhibited forespore endogenous respiration by 85%. These data suggest that Ca2+ enters the isolated forespore by facilitated diffusion. Ca2+ uptake into sporulating protoplasts was completely inhibited by concentrations of respiratory inhibitors that had no effect on either Ca2+ uptake or respiration of stage-V forespores, but which resulted in inhibition of mother-cell membrane NADH oxidase. These results indicate that the mother-cell membrane is a site for active transport of Ca2+ into the sporulating cell. The effects of the adenosine triphosphatase inhibitor dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide on mother-cell membrane adenosine triphosphatase, NADH oxidase and protoplast Ca2+ uptake were examined.

Lactobacillus casei cells can accumulate folate to an intracellular concentration in excess of 500 muM and to concentration gradients (relative to the extracellular compartment) of several thousand-fold. Maximum rates of folate transport are achieved rapidly (t(1/2) < 1 min) after the addition of glucose to energy-depleted cells and occur at intracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate concentrations above 625 muM. The rate of folate transport and the adenosine 5'-triphosphate content of cells are both extremely sensitive to arsenate and decrease in parallel with increasing concentrations of the inhibitor, indicating a requirement for phosphate-bond energy in the transport process. The energy source is not a membrane potential or a pH gradient generated via the membrane-bound adenosine triphosphatase, since dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (an adenosine triphosphatase inhibitor) and carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (a proton conductor) have little effect on the uptake process. The K(+)-ionophore, valinomycin, is an inhibitor of folate transport, but does not act via a mechanism involving dissipation of the membrane potential. This can be deduced from the facts that the inhibition by valinomycin is relatively insensitive to pH, is considerably greater in Na(+)- than in K(+)-containing buffers, and is not enhanced by the addition of proton conductors. Folate efflux is not affected by valinomycin, glucose, or various metabolic inhibitors, although a rapid release of the accumulated vitamin can be achieved by the addition of unlabeled folate together with an energy source (glucose). These results suggest that the active transport of folate into L. casei is energized by adenosine 5'-triphosphate or an equivalent energy-rich compound, and that coupling occurs not via the membrane-bound adenosine triphosphatase but by direct interaction of the energy source with a component of the transport system.

A site-specific analog of ATP, 6,6'-dithiobis (inosinyl imidodiphosphate (S2P-PNP), inactivates the ATPase activities of myosin's proteolytic fragments, heavy meromyosin (HMM) and subfragment one (SF1), by formation of mixed disulfides between the 6 position of the purine ring and certain key cysteines. The stoichiometry of the reaction was determined by quantitatively displacing the thiopurine nucleotides from the labeled enzymes with sodium[14-C]cyanide. The thiocyanatoenzyme formed regained 25 percent of the original activity showing that the cysteines modified were not essential for catalysis. The rate of uptake of label paralleled the rate of inactivation. HMM was completely inactivated when 4 mol of thiopurine nucleotide was bound. SF1 made by a papain digestion of myosin incorporarted 2 mol of thiopurine nucleotide when completely inactivated. Having adenylyl imidodiphosphate, areversible competitive inhibitor of myosin's ATPase, present during the inactivation of HMM by S2P-PNP demonstrated that only one cysteine per head needed to be blocked to inactivate the enzyme. Moreover, SF1 made by a trypsin digest of HMM was completely inactivated when only 1.1 mol of the thiopurine nucleotide bound again indicating that blocking only a single cysteine per head was sufficient to cause inactivation. This sulfhydryl is thought to be at an ATP binding site distinct from the ATPase site. The properties of this second ATP binding site are consistent with it being an ATP regulatory site.

A purine disulfide analog of ATP, 6,6'-dithiobis(inosinyl imidodiphosphate), forms mixed disulfides with cysteine residues at what are believed to be ATP regulatory sites of myosin. Blocking these sites causes inactivation of the ATPase activity at the active sites. Two cysteine residues per head are specifically modifed by this disulfide analog. The thiopurine nucleotides can be stoichiometrically displaced from myosin by [14-C]cyanide to give a more stable thiocyanato derivative of the enzyme. [14-C]Thiocyanatomyosin (3.7 14-CN/myosin) was dissociated in 4 M urea and the individual subunits were isolated. The heavy chains each had 0.78 14-CN bound per 200,000 molecular weight unit. The light chain with molecular weight of 20,700 had 1.00 14-CN bound and the 16,500 molecular weight light chain had 0.65 14-CN bound. The two 19,000 molecular weight light chains were not labeled. The two labeled light chains have only a single cysteine which is stoichiometrically modified. These two light chains show a high degree of homology and presumably perform identical functions in myosin. Their specific modification by the purine disulfide analog and their other known properties suggest that they contribute directly to the ATP regulatory sites and may, in fact, function as regulatory subunits.

We have recently reported that with a linear sucrose density gradient centrifugation two distinct types of membrane fragments, designated as X- and Y-fragments are obtained (Huang, C. H., Keyhani, E. and Lee, C. P. (1973) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 305, 455-473). Further characterization of these two membranes fragments is reported. (1) Potassium chloride at the concentration of 0.15 m extracts 7% and 30% of cytochrome c from the X- and Y-fragments, respectively. (2) When cytochrome c was added to the mitochondrial suspension prior to sonication, the cytochrome c content was increased by 6-8-fold in both X- and Y-fragments. Subsequently KC1 extraction resulted in loss of cytochrome c by 1/4 in the X- and by 2/3 in the Y-fragments. (3) With partially inhibitory concentrations of KCN, cytochrome c in either the X- or the KC1 extracted X-fragments showed uncoupler-sensitive, biphasic reduction kinetics upon the addition of NADH to the oligomycin-supplemented system. Under identical conditions rapid first order reduction kinetics were seen for cytochrome c in Y-fragments supplemented with either oligomycin or oligomycin + carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP). (4) When cytochrome c was added to the mitochondrial suspension after sonication, a significant amount of cytochrome c was bound to both X- and Y-fragments, but was readily removed with a high ionic strength medium. (5) Lubrol had little effect on the ATPase activity of the X- and the Y-fragments, suggesting a lack of membrane-buried ATPase. (6) Partial depletion of ATPase in X-fragments did not induce an increase in reactivity towards externally added cytochrome c. (7) Both the X- and the Y-fragments showed an energy-linked fluorescence enhancement of 8-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulfonate and an energy-linked fluorescence decrease of quinacrine. (8) In the presence of K-+ nigericin alone or in combination with valinomycin exhibited a stimulating effect on the rate of NADH oxidase of the oligomycinsupplemented X- and Y-fragments.

1. The effects of phosphate and electron transport on the ATPase induced in rat-liver mitochondria by the uncoupler carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone have been measured at different uncoupler concentrations and compared with those of ATP, oligomycin and aurovertin. 2. The inhibitory action of respiratory-chain inhibitors on the ATPase activity, which is independent of the actual inhibitor used, is greatly delayed or prevented by the presence of uncoupler, and, in the case of rotenone, can be reversed completely by the subsequent addition of succinate (in the absence of uncoupler). These results can be explained on the basis of the proposal previously made by others that coupled electron transfer causes a structural change in the ATPase complex that results in a decreased affinity of the ATPase inhibitor for the mitochondrial ATPase. 3. Inorganic phosphate specifically stimulates the ATPase activity at high uncoupler concentrations (greater than 0.2 muM), but has no effect at low concentrations. The stimulation is prevented or abolished by sufficiently high concentrations of aurovertin. 4. Aurovertin prevents the inhibition of the uncoupler-induced ATPase by high uncoupler concentrations. 5. It is proposed that the steady-state concentration of endogenous P-i may be an important regulator of the turnover of the ATPase in intact mitochondria and that the inhibition of ATPase activity by high concentrations of uncoupler is at least partially mediated via changes in the concentration of endogenous P-i.

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.

A particulate subcellular fraction from Escherichia coli K-12 induced in anaerobic sn-glycerol 3-phosphate (G3P) dehydrogenase and fumarate reductase can catalyze under anaerobic conditions the transfer of hydrogens from G3P to fumarate, with attendant generation of high-energy phosphate. The phsophorylation process is more sensitive than the transhydrogenation process to inhibition by the detergent Triton X-100. The same is true with respect to sensitivity to sodium azide, carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone and N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Such a preparation derived from cells with beta-galactoside permease can accumulate thiomethyl beta-D-galactoside anaerobically, and the accumulation can be stimulated twofold by adding G3P and fumarate. Mutants lacking the membrane-associated Mg2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase cannot grow anaerobically on glycerol with fumarate as the hydrogen acceptor, although they can grow aerobically on glycerol alone.

The temperature dependence of the transepithelial potential difference (PD) of the main duct of the submaxillary gland has been measured during in vitro perfusion studies. The magnitude of the PD depends strongly on the anion composition of the perfusing and bathing fluids. The following combinations of perfusion and bathing fluids respectively were used: (1) Na2SO4/NaCl, (2) Na2SO4, (3) NaCl/-NaCl, (4) NaCl/Na2SO4. The mean transepithelial potential differences at 35 degrees C with these four sets of conditions were respectively: 144, 148, 10 and - 15 mV, serosal side positive with respect to lumen. From the data obtained it was possible to construct Arrhenius plots of temperature dependence of the PD for the four sets of experimental conditions. They all show a breakpoint between 16 and 19 degrees C. The apparent activation energies in the four situations above the breakpoint are 4.2, 1.4, 12.0 and 10.6 kcal/mol, respectively. Below the breakpoint they are 29.9, 37.5, 29.0 and 31.3 kcal/mol, respectively. The rapid change in the PD as a function of temperature (which can also be achieved by the addition of ouabain), the effects of the removal of K+ on the serosal side on the PD, the decrease in the PD after the addition of ouabain or CN-, and the activation energies and breakpoints all lead to the conclusion that a large part of the PD is caused by an electrogenic sodium pump which is very probably the enzyme (Na+ plus K+)-ATPase. When the duct is perfused with Na2SO4 we find, above the breakpoint in the Arrhenius plots, a lower activation energy than is found when perfusing with NaCl.
