The content of free SH groups and disulfide bonds in the purified pig kidney Na+,K+-ATPase was determined by ammetric titration with silver nitrate. In the native enzyme, most of the free SH groups are masked due to their location in the polypeptide chain regions poorly accessible to SH reagents. Denaturation with 5% SDS and 8 M urea makes these regions accessible thus revealing 22 free SH groups/mol of the protein. After complete blocking of free SH groups with silver ions, 8 SH groups/mol of the protein are being released upon sulfitolysis which indicates the presence of four disulfide bonds in the enzyme. At least one disulfide bridge is located in the alpha-subunit whereas the beta-subunit contains three disulfide bonds.

It has been shown that in the enzyme preparations (EP) from normal brain tissue (NBT) a typical break on the Arrhenius plot appeared at 20-22 degrees C, nH for Na+ and K+ exceeding 1.7 and 1.4, respectively. In EP from tumoural brain tissue (TBT) no break on the Arrhenius plot at 20-22 degrees C was revealed, but it appeared at 27.5 + 30.5 degrees C. The nH for Na+ with Na+,K+-ATPase from TBT was only 0.9, but the cooperative binding of K+ was preserved (nH = 1.3). Electrophoregrams (EP) from TBT showed additional protein bands. The urea and digitonin treatment of EP from NBT induced a break on the Arrhenius plot at 27.5-30.5 degrees C. It is suggested that the break at 27.5-30.5 degrees C is, probably, accompanied by local changes in the conformation of protein components of the enzyme.

Two monoclonal antibodies (MAb I and IV) have been prepared which showed high and specific reactions towards bovine heart mitochondrial coupling factor B (FB). Both have been identified as sub-type IgG1 of mouse immunoglobulins. MAb I reacts with purified and functionally active FB, alkylated or oxidized forms of FB and even with peptides formed on digestion of FB with trypsin. When used together, MAb I and IV reacted with FB in immunoblots of normal and urea treated samples of mitochondria, submitochondrial particles, ammonia-EDTA extracted particles, and H+-ATPase. Both MAbs inhibited FB-stimulated ATP-dependent reverse electron flow activity when FB was incubated with the antibody either before or after its addition to FB-deficient AE-particles. Reactivity of MAb I towards FB declined upon exposure of FB to guanidine HC1 while reactivity of MAb IV remained unaltered.

A complex of the alpha- and beta-subunits of thermophilic ATP synthase showed about 25% of the ATPase activity of the alpha beta gamma complex. The alpha 3 beta 3 hexamer structure was analyzed by sedimentation (11.2 S) and gel filtration (310 kDa). Dilution of the alpha beta complex caused dissociation of the complex and rapid loss of ATPase activity which was restored by addition of the gamma-subunit. A previous method using urea for isolating the subunits resulted in an alpha beta complex with lower activity than that prepared by over-expression of the genes. The alpha beta-ATP complex was formed from the alpha beta complex, ADP and Pi in the presence of dimethyl sulfoxide.

Biochemical mechanisms underlying cyclosporine (CsA)-induced nephrotoxicity and the effect of concomitant administration of prednisolone (Pr) on the nephrotoxicity were studied. Male Wistar rats were treated with the vehicles used for CsA and Pr administration (group 1), Pr alone (group 2), CsA alone (group 3), or CsA plus Pr (group 4), respectively. The dose of CsA was 5 mg/kg/day, i.p. for the initial 7 days, and was decreased to 2.5 mg/kg/day i.p. thereafter. The dose of Pr was always maintained at one-tenth of that of CsA. At 10, 30, and 90 days after the initiation of these treatments, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum levels of creatinine and CsA were determined. The syntheses of DNA, RNA, and protein, Na+, K+-adenosine triphosphate (ATP)ase activity, and ATP content were measured using homogenates of the renal cortex obtained from each experimental group. At an early stage (at 10 and 30 days) of CsA administration, the impairment of renal function and inhibition of the synthesis of DNA and RNA appeared in groups 3 and 4. The magnitude of these changes was found to be greater in group 3 (CsA alone) than in group 4 (CsA plus Pr). Group 3 also showed a significant reduction of Na+, K+-ATPase activity as well as ultrastructural abnormalities. At a later stage (at 90 days), however, such differences in nephrotoxicity between groups 3 and 4 were not detected. These results strongly suggest that inhibition of the synthesis of DNA and RNA and the activity of enzymes related to the functions of cell membrane, such as Na+, K+-ATPase, may be involved in the occurrence of CsA-induced nephrotoxicity. The present results also suggest that the concomitant administration of Pr with CsA may reduce the nephrotoxicity of CsA at early stages of CsA administration, but this preventive effect of Pr may disappear if the administration of CsA is prolonged.

The egg white of marine turtle (Caretta caretta Linn.) and one species of tortoise (Geomyda trijuga trijuga Schariggar) contain a low molecular weight basic protein. It has been purified to homogeneity from the egg white of marine turtle and characterized in terms of its major physicochemical and chemical properties. The molecular weight of this protein calculated from gel filtration, sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis in the presence of urea, sedimentation-diffusion data, and amino acid composition is 4300. Its isoelectric point is at pH 11.1 and intrinsic viscosity is 0.038 dl g-1 in 0.2 M NaCl. It has a Stokes radius of 12.6 A and a diffusion coefficient of 16.50 x 10(-7) cm2 s-1. Analysis of the far-ultraviolet circular dichroic spectrum has shown that the basic protein contains 27% beta-pleated sheet and little or no alpha-helix. It possesses a single polypeptide chain of 40 amino acid residues with three disulfide bonds. It lacks serine, methionine, phenylalanine and carbohydrate moiety. It binds to DNA and stimulates ATPase activity due to its strong basicity. The complex of DNA-basis protein is partially resistant to the action of DNase.

It has been shown that the desensibilization of the enzymic preparations of Na+, K+-ATPase by urea, DS-Na, digitonin and CHAPS reduces differently the amount of alpha beta-protomer in the enzymic preparations and the Hill coefficients of Na+ and K+. The factors (urea, DS-Na) which cause a more pronounced decrease in the amount of beta-protomer reduce the nH of Na+ for Na+, K+-ATPase and nH of K+ for Na+, K+-ATPase and K+-pNPPase to unit. The analysis of the effects of ATP and pNPP indicates that ATP has a protective effect only in the case of urea and DS-Na, but this effect is not exerted by pNPP (nonallosteric substrate). A conclusion is drawn that cooperative interactions of Na+, K+-ATPase from the brain with Na+ require more higher level of the oligomeric structure of enzyme than cooperative interactions with K+. At the same time these cooperative interactions in the both cases need subunits interactions in the protomer and interactions between cation sites with relatively high affinity.

Concentrations of protein and electrolytes as well as activity of Na,K-ATPase were studied in renal tissue of rats within 5 days after cisplatinum administration (5 mg/kg of body mass, intraperitoneally). There were a significant reduction in the ATPase activity and an increase in water content and sodium concentration in renal cortex tissue, while K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ were unaltered. At the same time, concentration of electrolytes did not shift in blood serum and muscle tissue. After intraperitoneal administration of choline chloride at a dose of 290 mg/kg of body mass within 40 min before the cisplatinum treatment less distinct alterations were observed in the urea content and in the Na,K-ATPase activity.

The satisfactory analysis of the Na/K ATPase, its pumping component and the mechanism of action of the inhibitor digitalis remains elusive; yet the controversial inotropic effect of digitalis in the clinical setting has been known for over a century. There are also conflicting reports of the effect of urea and uremia on the cardiovascular system, and the evidence as it exists, suggests that urea may have two effects on the intact heart, by virtue of its extent of action on hydrogen bonding of water molecules, determined by which type of muscle constitutes the myocardium. If different types of myocardium do exist, they could well respond differently to inotropic agents. Evidence suggests that two types of myocardia, relatively stress resistant or susceptible may exist, analagous to known skeletal muscle differences.

Changes in renal function, Na+-K+-ATPase activity and PAH transport system in kidney cortex were studied in rats treated with cadmium. Subcutaneous injections of CdCl2 (2 mg Cd/kg.day) for 16 days induced a marked polyuria and a hyposthenuria. These changes were accompanied by increase in urinary protein, glucose, urea, calcium, phosphate, chloride and potassium excretions. The change in urine flow was proportional to the change in total osmotic solute excretion. Creatinine excretion and TcH2O remained unchanged. Na+ excretion was not increased, but the Na+-K+-ATPase of renal cortex was significantly inhibited. PAH uptake by renal cortical slices was markedly attenuated in Cd-treated rats. The Vmax for active PAH influx was drastically reduced, but the Km was not changed. The passive influx and efflux of PAH across the basolateral membrane and the renal tissue oxygen consumption were not apparently altered in Cd-treated animals. These results indicate that 1) the nature of Cd-induced polyuria and hyposthenuria is an osmotic diuresis induced by proximal tubular rejection of various substances, and 2) the mechanism of impaired renal PAH excretion in Cd-treated animals is a loss of organic anion carriers in proximal tubular basolateral membranes.
