A marked increase in water permeability can be induced in Xenopus oocytes by injection of mRNA from tissues that express water channels, suggesting that the water channel is a protein. In view of this and previous reports which showed that proteinases may interfere with mercurial inhibition of water transport in red blood cells (RBC), we examined the influence of trypsin, chymotrypsin, papain, pronase, subtilisin and thermolysin on water permeability as well as on ATPase activity, H(+)-pump, passive H+ conductance, and Na+/H+ exchange in apical brush-border vesicles (BBMV) and endosomal (EV) vesicles from rat renal cortex. H+ transport was measured by Acridine orange fluorescence quenching and water transport by stopped-flow light scattering. As measured by potential-driven H+ accumulation in BBMV and EV, proteinase treatment had little effect on vesicle integrity. In BBMV, ecto-ATPase activity was inhibited by 15-30%, Na+/H+ exchange by 20-55%, and H+ conductance was unchanged. Osmotic water permeability (Pf) was 570 microns/s and was inhibited 85-90% by 0.6 mM HgCl2; proteinase treatment did not affect Pf or the HgCl2 inhibition. In EV, NEM-sensitive H+ accumulation and ATPase activity were inhibited by greater than 95%. Pf (140 microns/s) and HgCl2 inhibition (75-85%) were not influenced by proteinase treatment. SDS-PAGE showed selective digestion of multiple polypeptides by proteinases. These results confirm the presence of water channels in BBMV and EV and demonstrate selective inhibition of ATPase function and Na+/H+ exchange by proteinase digestion. The lack of effect of proteinases on water transport by mercurials. We conclude that the water channel may be a small integral membrane protein which, unlike the H(+)-ATPase and Na+/H+ exchanger, has no functionally important membrane domains that are sensitive to proteolysis.

A DNA helicase (delta helicase) which partially copurifies with DNA polymerase delta has been highly purified from fetal calf thymus. delta helicase differs in physical and enzymatic properties from other eukaryotic DNA helicases described thus far. The enzyme has an apparent mass of 57 kDa by gel filtration and is associated with polypeptides of 56 and 52 kDa by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Photo-cross-linking of the purified enzyme with [alpha-32P]ATP resulted in labeling of a polypeptide of approximately 58 kDa, suggesting that the active site is present on the larger polypeptide. Unwinding of a partial duplex requires a nucleoside triphosphate which can be either ATP or dATP but not a nonhydrolyzable analogue of ATP. Other ribo- and deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates have little or no activity as cofactors. delta helicase also has DNA-dependent ATPase activity which has a relatively low Km for ATP (40 microM). delta helicase binds to single-stranded DNA but has little or no affinity for double-stranded DNA or single-stranded RNA. Similar to replicative DNA helicases from prokaryotes and the herpes simplex virus type 1 helicase-primase, delta helicase translocates in the 5'-3' direction along the strand to which it is bound and preferentially unwinds DNA substrates with a forklike structure.

We have previously shown that tomato lectin binds specifically to the 60-90 kDa membrane glycoprotein of parietal cell tubulovesicles, the beta-subunit of the gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase (proton pump) [Callaghan, Toh, Pettitt, Humphris & Gleeson (1990) J. Cell Sci. 95, 563-576; Toh, Gleeson, Simpson, Mortiz, Callaghan, Goldkorn, Jones, Martinelli, Mu, Humphris, Pettitt, Mori, Masuda, Sobieszczuk, Weinstock, Mantamadiotis & Baldwin (1990) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 87, 6418-6422]. Here we have exploited this interaction for the development of a rapid single-step chromatography procedure for the purification of an active pig gastric proton pump complex. Initially, H+/K(+)-ATPase-enriched membranes, prepared from pig gastric microsomes by density-gradient centrifugation, were extracted in 1% Triton X-100 and passed through a 1 ml tomato lectin-Sepharose 4B column. The bound material, eluted with 20 mM-chitotriose, showed a major band with an apparent molecular mass of 95 kDa, and a faint broad band of 60-90 kDa, by SDS/PAGE. N-Glycanase treatment of the bound material resulted in the appearance of a 35 kDa band, the size of the protein core of the 60-90 kDa glycoprotein beta-subunit. The two components were identified as the 95 kDa alpha-subunit and the 60-90 kDa beta-subunit of the gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase, by immunoreactivity with monospecific antibodies, and by tryptic peptide sequences of the tomato-lectin-bound material. The beta-subunit was present in approximately equimolar amounts to the catalytic alpha-subunit. Whereas the gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase was not active after solubilization in 1% Triton X-100, solubilization of density-gradient-purified membranes in the non-ionic detergent, C12E8, followed by chromatography of the extract on tomato lectin-Sepharose 4B, resulted in the purification of the gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase complex which exhibited K(+)-dependent phosphatase activity. This is the first report of a rapid purification of a partially active solubilized gastric H+/K(+)-ATPase complex.

Proteins in human red cell hemolysate were purified to determine which of them increase inhibition of the Na,K-ATPase in the presence of 2 microM free Ca. Samples purified 600,000-fold inhibited the Na,K-ATPase of human red cells in a Ca-dependent manner and stimulated the (Ca+Mg)-ATPase. These samples contained two proteins as analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE): calmodulin (18,000 Mr), which comprised most (greater than 90%) of the total protein, and an unidentified protein of approximately 13,000 Mr. Both proteins were a distinctive light yellow when stained with silver. Calmodulin from bovine testes also inhibited the Na,K-ATPase and stimulated the (Ca+Mg)-ATPase. This preparation also contained two proteins as analyzed by SDS-PAGE: calmodulin (95 to 99% of the total protein) and another protein of approximately 13,000 Mr (1 to 5% of the total protein). Both were light yellow when stained with silver. Since the amount of red cell protein was limited, the remainder of the study was carried out with the bovine testes preparation. Heating the testes preparation decreased, but did not abolish, inhibition of the Na,K-ATPase and reduced stimulation of the (Ca+Mg)-ATPase. When corrected for denatured calmodulin, both heated and unheated proteins increased inhibition of the Na,K-ATPase to the same extent. The Na,K-ATPase was inhibited at 2 microM free Ca in a dose-dependent manner over a range of 15 to 100 nM calmodulin. To establish if the inhibition was due to the calmodulin or the 13,000 Mr protein, both were electroeluted after SDS-PAGE. Electroeluted calmodulin stimulated the (Ca+Mg)-ATPase and increased Ca inhibition of the Na,K-ATPase. Electroeluted amounts of the smaller Mr protein slightly stimulated the (Ca+Mg)-ATPase, but had no effect on the Na,K-ATPase. This protein was digested with cyanogen bromide, partially sequenced, and thereby identified as a fragment of calmodulin. We conclude that intact calmodulin increases inhibition of the Na,K-ATPase at 2 microM free Ca. We suggest that calmodulin is part of a mechanism mediating the effects of physiological free Ca on the Na,K-ATPase.

The purpose of this study was to explore the role of singlet oxygen in cardiovascular injury. To accomplish this objective, we investigated the effect of singlet oxygen [generated from photoactivation of rose-bengal] on the calcium transport and Ca(2+)-ATPase activity of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum and compared these results with those obtained by superoxide radical, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radical. Isolated cardiac SR exposed to rose bengal (10 nM) irradiated at (560 nm) produced a significant inhibition of Ca2+ uptake; from 2.27 +/- 0.05 to 0.62 +/- 0.05 mumol Ca2+/mg.min (mean +/- SE) (P less than 0.01) and Ca(2+)-ATPase activity from 2.08 +/- 0.05 mumol Pi/min.mg to 0.28 +/- 0.04 mumol Pi/min.mg (mean +/- SE) (P less than 0.01). The inhibition of calcium uptake and Ca(2+)-ATPase activity by rose bengal derived activated oxygen (singlet oxygen) was dependent on the duration of exposure and intensity of light. The singlet oxygen scavengers ascorbic acid and histidine significantly protected SR Ca(2+)-ATPase against rose bengal derived activated oxygen species but superoxide dismutase and catalase did not attenuate the inhibition. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of SR exposed to photoactivated rose bengal up to 14 min, demonstrated complete loss of Ca(2+)-ATPase monomer band which was significantly protected by histidine. Irradiation of rose bengal also caused an 18% loss of total sulfhydryl groups of SR. On the other hand, superoxide (generated from xanthine oxidase action on xanthine) and hydroxyl radical (0.5 mM H2O2 + Fe(2+)-EDTA) as well as H2O2 (12 mM) were without any effect on the 97,000 dalton Ca(2+)-ATPase band of sarcoplasmic reticulum.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

It is known that two types of high-molecular-mass protease complexes are present in the cytosol of mammalian cells; a 20S latent multicatalytic proteinase named the proteasome, and a large proteolytic complex with an apparent sedimentation coefficient of 26S that catalyzes ATP-dependent breakdown of proteins conjugated with ubiquitin. In this work, we first demonstrated that a low concentration of SDS was required for activation of the latent proteasome, whereas the 26S complex degraded substrates for proteasomes in the absence of SDS. Moreover, the 26S complex was greatly stabilized in the presence of 2 mM ATP and 20% glycerol. Based on these characteristics, we next devised a novel procedure for purification of the 26S proteolytic complexes from human kidney. In this procedure, the proteolytic complexes were precipitated from cytoplasmic extracts by ultracentrifugation for 5 h at 105000 x g, and the large 26S complexes were clearly separated from the 20S proteasomes by molecular-sieve chromatography on a Biogel A-1.5 m column. The 26S enzyme was then purified to apparent homogeneity by successive chromatographies on hydroxyapatite and Q Sepharose, then by glycerol density-gradient centrifugation. Electrophoretic and immunochemical analyses showed that the purified human 26S complex consisted of multiple subunits of proteasomes with molecular masses of 21-31 kDa and 13-15 protein components ranging in molecular mass over 35-110 kDa, which were directly associated with the proteasome. The purified 26S proteolytic complex degraded 125I-labeled lysozyme-ubiquitin conjugates in an ATP-dependent manner. The 26S enzyme also showed high ATPase activity, which was copurified with the complex. Vanadate and hemin strongly inhibited not only ATP cleavage, but also ATP-dependent breakdown of ubiquitinligated proteins, suggesting that the 26S complex hydrolyzes ATP and ubiquitinated proteins by closely linked mechanisms. These findings indicate that the 26S complex consists of a proteasome with proteolytic function and multiple other components including an ATPase that regulates energy-dependent, ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation.

1. The tubulovesicles of hog and rabbit gastric parietal cells were immunopurified from microsomes using monoclonal antibodies against the (H+, K+)-ATPase. 2. The best yields of immunoprecipitation were obtained with an ATPase/mAb molar ratio of 0.3: the immunoprecipitate contained 79 and 90% of the hog and rabbit microsomal PNPPase activity respectively and K(+)-stimulated ATPase specific activity was 221 +/- 29 mumoles Pi per hr and per mg of membrane protein. 3. The immunoprecipitate contained vesicles that were 85% cytoplasmic-side out, like tubulovesicles in vivo, demonstrating that the epitopes were cytoplasmic. 4. The alpha-beta protomer of (H+, K+)-ATPase accounted for 80 +/- 12% of the immunopurified proteins. 5. The major other proteins ran at 80, 75, 69, 57, 47, 44, 39, 34 and 32 kDa on the SDS-PAGE. 6. Comparative analysis between sucrose-gradient purified fractions and immunopurified tubulovesicles demonstrated that carbonic anhydrase and actin were contaminants and that the 53 kDa and presumably the 50 kDa bands of the gradient fraction were alpha and beta subunits of F1 ATPase.

A partial purification of the Epstein-Barr-virus nuclear antigen 2A (EBNA 2A) protein from the Epstein-Barr-virus-infected lymphoblastoid cell line, Cherry, has been designed. The main purification step was immunoaffinity chromatography, based on the mAb, 115E, directed towards the carboxy terminus of EBNA 2A. This was followed by chromatography over a Blue Sepharose column. According to silver-stained SDS/PAGE, EBNA 2A was estimated to be 20% pure. The purified fractions contained an ATPase activity that was inhibited by the mAb 115E. Immunopurification of six EBNA-2A-positive cell lines and their negative counterpart showed that only fractions from EBNA-2A-positive lines contained ATPase activity. In gel-filtration experiments EBNA 2A eluted as a 75-kDa protein in conjunction with an ATPase activity. The EBNA 2A protein was covalently labeled by the ATP analog [14C]5'-[p-(fluorosulfonyl)benzoyl]adenosine. The ATPase activity was found to be optimal in the presence of 0.25 mM MgCl2 or CaCl2, whereas, in the presence of MnCl2 and ZnCl2, the activity was only about 50% of the control. High concentrations of Na2VO3 and heparin do not interfere with the activity, while 2.5 mM NaF or 0.5 M NaCl give a 50% reduction of the activity. The Km for ATP and for GTP was 13 microM and 11 microM, respectively, and the Vmax for ATP was about six-times higher than with GTP as substrate. Other low-molecular-mass non-protein phosphate esters, such as phosphoserine or phosphothreonine inhibited the ATPase activity with a Ki of 18 and 32 microM, respectively. Phosphotyrosine had a Ki of 480 microM. Serine, threonine and tyrosine had no inhibitory effect on the ATPase activity.

A plasma membrane Ca(2+)-pump ATPase preparation purified from porcine aorta was incubated with cGMP-dependent protein kinase (G-kinase) under the conditions under which dose-dependent stimulation of the enzyme by G-kinase was observed. Several proteins were phosphorylated, but two isoforms of plasma membrane Ca(2+)-pump ATPase with molecular masses of 135- and 145-kDa were not phosphorylated. The protein that was phosphorylated by G-kinase and identified in our previous study as the 135-kDa isoform of Ca(2+)-pump ATPase, on the basis of its almost identical mobility on SDS-PAGE, was found to be another protein with a molecular mass of 138 kDa. Fractionation of the enzyme preparation after incubation with G-kinase by a newly developed calmodulin affinity chromatographic method resulted in the separation of all the G-kinase substrates from the two isoforms of plasma membrane Ca(2+)-pump ATPase. These results suggest that the direct phosphorylation of the Ca(2+)-pump ATPase does not occur in association with the stimulation of the plasma membrane Ca(2+)-pump ATPase by G-kinase.

1. Purified (Na+ + K+)-ATPase was irreversibly inhibited upon exposure to hydrogen peroxide, the superoxide anion, and the hydroxyl radical. 2. Comparison of the SDS-gel electrophoretic patterns of the ATPase samples exposed to these oxidants revealed that inhibition occurred either without gross structural changes, or concomitant with fragmentation and cross-linking of the enzyme subunits. 3. The oxidant modified ATPase was also shown to be more susceptible to degradation by several proteolytic enzymes.
