1. The synaptosomal fraction isolated from hypothalamus of adult rats on a sucrose density gradient hydrolyzes the labile phosphates from ATP and ADP, thereby satisfying the general definition of apyrase activity. 2. The parallel behavior of ATPase and ADPase activities under different reaction conditions suggests the presence of a "true" apyrase enzyme. The optimum conditions for the reaction are the same for both nucleotides: pH 8.0, 0.6 mM nucleotide and 1.5 mM cation. At temperatures between 10 and 40 degrees C, both activities increase with no change in the ATP/ADP hydrolysis ratio. Thermal inactivation or inhibition of the enzyme activity by iodoacetamide, p-hydroxymercuribenzoate or 2-mercaptoethanol affected the hydrolysis of both substrates in a similar manner. 3. Adenylate kinase and pyrophosphatase activities were not detected in the preparation. 4. The enzyme is located on the outer surface of the synaptosomal membrane: intact and lysed synaptosomes have similar activity and the supernatant obtained by centrifugation of intact synaptosomal preparations does not hydrolyze ATP or ADP.

Subunit alpha (Mr 89,000) from vacuolar membrane H+-translocating adenosine triphosphatase of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was found to bind 8-azido[alpha-32P]adenosine triphosphate. Labeling by this photosensitive ATP derivative was saturable with an apparent dissociation constant of 10(-6) to 10(-5) M and decreased in the presence of ATP and ADP. The enzyme was inactivated by 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD-Cl), with about 1 microM causing half-maximal inactivation in the neutral pH range. This inactivation was prevented by the presence of ATP, ADP, or adenosyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP). The original activity was restored by treating the inactivated enzyme with 2-mercaptoethanol. Kinetic and chemical studies of the inactivation showed that the activity was lost on chemical modification of a single tyrosine residue per molecule of the enzyme. When the enzyme was inactivated with [14C]NBD-Cl, subunit alpha was specifically labeled, and this labeling was completely prevented by the presence of ATP, GTP, ADP, or AMP-PNP. From these results, it was concluded that subunit alpha of yeast vacuolar H+-ATPase has a catalytic site that contains a single, essential tyrosine residue. The kinetics of single site hydrolysis of [gamma-32P]ATP (Grubmeyer, C., Cross, R. L., and Penefsky, H. S. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 12092-12100) indicated the formation of an enzyme-ATP complex and subsequent hydrolysis of bound ATP to ADP and Pi at the NBD-Cl-sensitive catalytic site. NBD-Cl inactivated the single site hydrolysis and inhibited the formation of an enzyme-ATP complex. Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide did not affect the single site hydrolysis, but inhibited the enzyme activity under steady-state conditions.

Dynein 1 was extracted from sperm flagella of the sea urchin Tripneustes gratilla with 0.6 M NaCl and dialyzed against 0.5 mM EDTA, 14 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 5 mM imidazole/HCl buffer, pH 7.0, for 24-48 h. In some cases, fractions containing the alpha heavy chain and the beta/intermediate chain 1 complex (beta/IC1) were separated by density gradient centrifugation in the same solution. Treatment of the samples at a trypsin:protein ratio of 1:10 w/w for 32 min at room temperature yields a crude digest from which Fragment A is purified by density gradient centrifugation. The purified Fragment A consists of two principal peptides (Mr = 195,000 and 130,000) that cosediment with the peak of ATPase activity at 12.5 S, which is slightly faster than the 11 S of the original beta/IC1 complex. When digests of the separated alpha chain and of the beta/IC1 complex are followed as a function of time, the early cleavages of the two heavy chains (Mr = 428,000) resemble each other in that both lead to similarly sized peptides of Mr 316,000 and 296,000, but only in the beta/IC1 fraction does the digestion proceed to form Fragment A. The remainder of the beta chain, termed Fragment B, occurs as an Mr 110,000 peptide sedimenting at 5.7 S with no associated ATPase activity. Fragment A has a specific ATPase activity of 4.3 mumol Pi X min-1 X mg-1, with a Km of 29 microM in 0.1 M NaCl medium, and an apparent Ki for inhibition by vanadate of 1.2 microM in the absence of salt, and 22 microM in 0.6 M NaCl. Photoaffinity labeling with [alpha-32P]8-azidoadenosine 5'-triphosphate indicates that the ATP binding site on the beta chain of dynein 1 is located on the Mr 195,000 peptide of Fragment A. The possibility that Fragments A and B of the beta/IC1 complex may correspond to the head and tail regions of the tadpole-shaped particle seen by electron microscopy is discussed.

Polar membrane in Campylobacter jejuni has been visualized on membrane vesicles. It was composed of doughnut-shaped particles 5-6 nm in diameter, with stalks, arranged in a hexagonal array. This structure was stabilized on the membrane by a high ionic strength buffer in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol. Histochemical staining indicated localized ATPase activity at the poles of the cells. An ATPase with distinctive properties has been isolated and purified from this organism; it gives a specific activity of approximately 0.3 units/mg of protein. Electron microscopy showed doughnut-shaped particles 5-6 nm in diameter. Nondissociating and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the purified enzyme revealed, respectively, a single band with ATPase activity and a molecular weight of ca. 75,000 Da. The enzyme was cold labile and activity was abolished by trypsin. Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide inhibited the membrane-bound form of the enzyme, but did not inhibit the soluble form. Oligomycin had no inhibitory activity on either form of the enzyme. The enzyme specifically hydrolysed ATP, but other nucleotide substrates were not degraded. The enzyme was activated by Mg2+ and inhibited by Ca2+, whereas other ions had no effect on activity. Antibodies prepared to this enzyme bound to the polar regions of whole cells as shown by protein A - colloidal gold immunoelectron microscopy. The antibodies to this ATPase cross reacted (shown by Western blotting) with four proteins from a whole-cell extract of this organism, two proteins in Aquaspirillum serpens MW5, and three proteins from Escherichia coli K12. They did not cross-react with any proteins from Spirillum volutans, Methanococcus voltae, Vibrio cholerae, or rat liver mitochondria. Antibodies raised against the F1-ATPase of E. coli K12 cross reacted with six proteins in a whole-cell extract of this organism, and one protein species in each of the whole-cell extracts of V. cholera, A. serpens MW5, S. volutans, and rat liver mitochondria. These antibodies did not recognize any whole cell proteins from either C. jejuni or M. voltae. These results along with the ATPase activity localized by histochemical staining suggest that polar membrane is an assembly of ATPase molecules at the poles of the cell and that the ATPase isolated from C. jejuni is serologically and structurally unusual.

The Ca2+-dependent ATPase activity of sarcoplasmic reticulum was inhibited when membrane vesicles were incubated at 0 degree C in presence of thiols. 2-mercaptoethanol was the most effective inhibitor from the thiols tested. The effect of 2-mercaptoethanol on the ATPase activity was biphasic; enzyme inhibition originally increased and then decreased with increasing thiol concentration. The inhibitory action of this thiol was significantly higher at low membrane concentrations and the rate of inactivation at 22 degrees C was considerably lower than that at 0 degree C. Ca2+-ATPase previously inhibited by 2-mercaptoethanol was partially reactivated by incubation with periodate.

Omeprazole was found to inhibit the K+-stimulated ATPase activity of the gastric (H+ + K+)-ATPase in parallel with the K+-stimulated p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity and the phosphoenzyme formation. The degree of inhibition of ATPase activity was directly correlated to the amount inhibitor bound to the enzyme preparation down to about 15% of the control enzyme activity. The acid-decomposed form of omeprazole, i.e. the inhibitory form, was found to react with and bind to sulfhydryl groups within the (H+ + K+)-ATPase preparation with close to a 1:1 stoichiometry. beta-Mercaptoethanol, when added beforehand and in a 10-fold excess of omeprazole, completely prevented binding of the inhibitor and its inhibition of the enzyme. In the presence of beta-mercaptoethanol two different reaction products could be detected in addition to omeprazole; the reduced form of omeprazole (H 168/22), and a product formed between beta-mercaptoethanol and a decomposition product, generated from omeprazole. Under those conditions neither inhibition nor binding was obtained, indicating that none of these three compounds was the inhibitor. Rather, the compound generated from omeprazole and reacting rapidly with either beta-mercaptoethanol or the -SH groups of the enzyme was the likely inhibitor compound. In order to reverse already established inhibition higher concentrations of beta-mercaptoethanol were needed than for protection indicating two different reaction pathways for protection and reversal by beta-mercaptoethanol. The reversal reaction was explained by a two-step reaction; in the first step the bound inhibitor was exchanged for a beta-mercaptoethanol molecule resulting in formation of compound H 168/22 and a mixed disulfide between the enzyme and beta-mercaptoethanol. In the second step, attack of another beta-mercaptoethanol molecule results in liberation of active enzyme and generation of the disulfide form of beta-mercaptoethanol. This hypothesis was substantiated by the fact that when 1 mM beta-mercaptoethanol was added to inhibited enzyme the radiolabel was partially displaced, without any change in the concentration of modified -SH groups.

Purified dog kidney (Na+ + K+)-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) was inactivated with high concentrations of 2-mercaptoethanol at 50-55 degrees C. The inactivation was prevented by NaCl or KCl, with KCl being more effective than NaCl (the former ion being about one order more efficient under a typical set of experimental conditions). A disulfide bond in the beta-subunit of the enzyme protein was prevented from reductive cleavage by NaCl or KCl in accordance with protection of the enzyme activity. Choline chloride did not exert a significant protective effect over a similar concentration range. (Na+ + K+)-ATPase was also inactivated with high concentrations of 2-mercaptoethanol in the presence of low concentrations of dodecyl sulfate. This inactivation was also prevented by NaCl or KCl, with the latter being again more efficient than the former. These results indicate that Na+ and K+ bound to their respective ion-binding sites on the alpha-subunit exert a protective effect on a disulfide bond on the beta-subunit. This suggests some sort of interaction between the alpha- and the beta-subunits.

Dolichyl phosphate concentrations, a primary factor in regulating the rate of N-glycosidically linked glycoprotein synthesis, are dependent upon a cytidine triphosphate (CTP)-dependent dolichol kinase. This study examines dolichol kinase in rat testicular microsomes and defines assay conditions. As with dolichol kinases from other tissues, addition of 2-mercaptoethanol increased activity 60%. Inclusion of NaF, an inhibitor of testicular dolichyl phosphate phosphatase activity, also resulted in a 38% increase in activity. Triton X-100 was necessary for phosphorylation of both endogenous and exogenous dolichol; however, concentrations of detergent in excess of 0.25-0.35% were inhibitory. A 2- to 5-fold stimulation of kinase activity was obtained by addition of 50-100 microM exogenous dolichol. The high level of nucleoside triphosphatase activity in testicular microsomes mandated the inclusion of high levels of uridine triphosphate (UTP) to protect the [gamma-32 P] CTP. Increasing UTP concentrations up to 50 mM resulted in increased product formation. A clear requirement for divalent cations was observed; 5 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) abolished activity. The following order of cation effectiveness was observed: Mn greater than or equal to Ca greater than Cd greater than Zn much greater than Mg. Ten mM optima were established for Ca2+ and Mn2+; the presence of UTP, however, results in significantly reduced concentrations of free Ca2+. Ion combination studies demonstrated interactive inhibitory effects between Ca2+ and other stimulatory divalent cations. Addition of 2 microM brain calmodulin, in the presence of 10 mM Ca2+, resulted in a 75-100% stimulation of activity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Endogenous phosphorylation of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) in microsacs from Torpedo marmorata was found to be affected by several reagents commonly used in the preparation of cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent protein kinases and in its activity determination. The presence of a Na+,K+-ATPase inhibitor is essential to avoid a rapid depletion of ATP, even when a membrane fraction highly enriched in the nAChR is used. The presence of the thiol reducing agent dithiothreitol was found to abolish the cAMP dependence of nAChR phosphorylation, whereas the less potent reagent 2-mercaptoethanol did not affect the assay. Concentrations in the millimolar range of the chelators EDTA and EGTA were found to inhibit nAChR phosphorylation effectively. This inhibition was not due to a withdrawal of Ca2+ by the chelators, but rather to a reversible inhibition by the Mg2+ complexes. These observations may explain some of the discrepancies found in the literature concerning endogenous and exogenous nAChR phosphorylation.

Trypsin digestion of phosphorylated and 3H-labeled dinitrophenylated chicken gizzard myosin released major fragments of Mr 29,000, 50,000 and 66,000 in a ratio of close to one to one. They contained 58% of the label bound to thiols of the heavy chains; 28% of the label was bound to the light chains. The heavy chain fragments of Mr 29,000 and Mr 66,000 were dinitrophenylated when the enzyme activity was inhibited. The 3H-labeled dinitrophenylated myosin alone followed a somewhat different pattern in that the label was bound to the light chains predominantly. Thiolysis of the phosphorylated and dinitrophenylated myosin with 2-mercaptoethanol restored the K+ -ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.32) activity and the dinitrophenyl group was removed from the N-terminal fragment of Mr 29,000 of the heavy chain, predominantly. In contrast, restoration of the enzymic activity occurred in thiolyzed dinitrophenylated myosin alone when the label was removed from the light chains rather than the tryptic fragments of the heavy chain. Phosphorylation induced conformational changes in gizzard myosin that altered the reactivity of the thiols in fragments of the globular heavy chain region.
