Cardiac myosin from thyrotoxic animals (myosin-T) exhibits elevated Ca2+ -ATPase activity which is resistant to further stimulation by sulfhydryl modification. In the present study, we have compared the enzymatic properties of myosin-T with those of myosin from euthyroid rabbits (myosin-N) and the derivatives of myosin-T and myosin-N formed by blocking the most rapidly reacting class of thiols (SH1) with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM). Vmax for Ca2+ -ATPase of myosin-T was about 250% greater than myosin-N and was nearly the same as NEM-modified myosin-N. Values for the apparent Km of myosin-T and NEM-modified myosin-N were 200% greater than the value for unmodified myosin-N. Vmax and Km for K+ (EDTA)-ATPase activity of NEM-modified myosin-T and myosin-N were identical. The Ca2+ saturation, pH, and salt-dependency curves for the ATPase activity of myosin-T were parallel to the curves for myosin-N and differed from those for the NEM-modified myosins. Myosin-T exhibited an increased rate of hydrolysis of ATP, CTP, and UTP in both low (0.05m) and high (0.5m) KCl medium. NEM-modified myosin-N showed increased hydrolysis of ATP and CTP in low KCl medium and increased hydrolysis of ATP, CTP, and UTP in high KCl medium. These results support the hypothesis that the enzymatic behavior of myosin-T may be caused by an alteration in the active site near the SH, thiols. The unique enzymatic properties of myosin-T did not seem to be the result of a major change in structure. The electrophoretic pattern of light chains from myosin-T and myosin-N was the same in polyacrylamide gels containing either 8 M urea at pH 8.6 or sodium dodecyl sulfate. Also, myosin-T had a normal amino acid composition and lacked 3-methyl-histidine and hot acid-stable phosphate.

A deviation from optimal conditions of the Na, K-ATPase reaction results in a drastic change in the plot: enzyme activity versus Na/K ratio. Acidification of the medium and a decrease in Mg2+ concentration and temperature results in two peaks on the curve at Na/K ratio of about 1 and at Na/K ratio greater than 4. The enhancement of pH of the medium and increase in Mg2+ concentration decreases the first peak and increases the second one. A comparison of these curves for hydrolysis of ATP, UTP and p-nitrophenylphosphate and temperature dependence of the hydrolysis of the substrates suggest that the anomalies observed may be accounted for the Na+ effect on the K-sites or K+ effect on the Na-sites under conditions when cation-binding sites are heterogeneous.

1. The cell-membrane ATP phosphohydrolase of vegetatively grown Clostridium pasteurianum was specifically Mg2+-dependent, but demonstrated significant activity with GTP, CTP and UTP. It displayed approximate Michaelis-Menten kinetics only in the presence of certain effectors (e.g. phosphoenolpyruvate, fructose 1,6-bis-phosphate) which decreased the Km for ATP (to below 2 mM) but also V, whilst extending to pH 5.8 the effective pH range of activity of the enzyme. 2. ATP phosphohydrolase activity of the membrane ATPase (BF0F1) was inhibited by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, butyricin 7423, Dio-9, 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan, efrapeptin, leucinostatin and quercetin, and to a lesser degree by aurovertin and citreoviridin. The enzyme was not inhibited by oligomycin, spegazzinine, tributyl tin, triethyl tin or venturicidin. The soluble ATPase (BF1) component differed in not being inhibited by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, butyricin 7423 or leucinostatin. 3. The ATPase (BF0F1) complex and its soluble (BF1) component were separately purified. 4. Dodecylsulphate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis separated only four polypeptide components in the purified ATPase (BF0F1), with approximate molecular weights (+/- 10%) as follows: subunit a, 65 500; subunit c, 57 500; subunit da, 43 000; subunit fa, 15 000. The soluble (BF1 component contained only the three polypeptide subunits a, c and da. These were present in the BF0F1 preparation in the ratio 2 : 1 : 2; the contribution of subunit fa could not satisfactorily be quantified. 5. Subunit a was identified as the component binding 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan and subunit fa as the component binding N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The ATP phosphohydrolase activity of the membrane ATPase was not activated by trypsin treatment and the ATPase (BF0F1) contained no trypsin-sensitive inhibitor protein subunit. 6. Purified ATPase (BF0F1) was incorporated into artificial proteoliposomes which demonstrated ATP-dependent enhancement of 8-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulphonate fluorescence and ATP-dependent proton influx. These reactions were abolished by proton conductors (e.g. carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone) by valinomycin in the presence of a high external concentration of K+, or by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, butyricin 7423, Dio-9, 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan or leucinostatin. Oligomycin, tributyl tin, triethyl tin and venturicidin were not inhibitory. 7. When stripped of the soluble BF1 component, such ATPase-proteoliposomes demonstrated nil ATP phosphohydrolase activity and did not display ATP-dependent enhancement of 8-anilino-naphthalene-1-sulphonate fluorescence or ATP-dependent protein influx. All of these activities were restored by incubation of the BF1-depleted proteoliposomes with a purified preparation of the soluble BF1 component.

The effects of Ca2+ on the RNA polymerase activity of the nuclei isolated from normal and denervated gastrocnemius muscles of the rabbit were studied. It was shown that 18 hrs after denervation the RNA synthesis in vitro, Ca2+ content and the Ca, Mg-ATPase activity of the nuclei are decreased. After addition of exogenous Ca2+ the incorporation of labelled UTP into the nuclei is stimulated in the denervated muscle and is inhibited in the control. Electrostimulation of the denervated muscle at the peripheral part of the sciatic nerve for 3 hrs increases both the RNA synthesis in the nuclei and the Ca2+ content, as well as the Ca, Mg-ATPase activity. Exogenous Ca2+ has an inhibitory effect on the nuclei of the stimulated muscle. The correlation established is indicative of participation of Ca2+ in the transmission of excitation in skeletal muscle sarcolemma to the processes occurring in nuclear structures.

Vesicles containing a purified shark rectal gland (sodium + potassium)-activated adenosine triphosphatase-(NaK ATPase) were prepared by dialyzing for 2 days egg lecithin, cholate, and the NaK ATPase purified from the rectal gland of Squalus acanthias. These vesicles were capable of both Na+ and K+ transport. Studies of K+ transport were made by measuring the ATP-stimulated transport outward of 42K+ or 86Rb+. Vesicles were preloaded with isotope by equilibration at 4 degrees for 1 to 3 days. Transport of 42K+ or 86Rb+ was initiated by addition of MgATP to the vesicles. The ATP-dependent exit of either isotope was the same. Experiments are presented which show that this loss of isotope was not due to changes in ion binding but rather due to a loss in the amount of ion trapped in the vesicular volume. The transport of K+ was dependent on external Mg2+. CTP was almost as effective as ATP in stimulating K+ transport, while UTP was relatively ineffective. These effects of nucleotides parallel their effects on Na+ accumulation and their effectiveness as substrates for the enzyme. Potassium transport was inhibited by ouabain and required the presence of Na+. The following asymmetries were seen: (a) addition of external Mg2+ supported K+ transport; (b) ouabain inhibited K+ transport only if it was present inside the vesicles; (c) addition of external Na+ to the vesicles stimulated K+ transport. External Li+ was ineffective as a Na+ substitute. The specific requirement of external Na+ for K+ transport indicates that K+ exit is coupled to Na+ entry. Changes in the internal vesicular ion concentrations were studied with vesicles prepared in 20 mM NaCl and 50 mM KCl. After 1 hour of transport at 25 degrees, a typical Na+ concentration in the vesicles in the presence of ATP was 72 mM. A typical K+ concentration in the vesicles was 10 mM as measured with 42K+ or 6 mM as measured with 86Rb+. The following relationships have been calculated for Na+ transport, K+ transport and ATP hydrolysis: Na+/ATP = 1.42, K+/ATP =1.04, and Na+/K+ = 1.43. The ratio of 2.8 Na+ transported in to 2 K+ transported out is very close to the value reported for the red cell membrane. Potassium-potassium exchange similar to that observed in the red cell membrane and attributed to the Na+-K+ pump (stimulated by ATP and orthophosphate and inhibited by ouabain) was observed when vesicles were prepared in the absence of Na+. The results reported in this paper prove that the shark rectal gland NaK ATPase, which is 90 to 95% pure, is the isolated pump for the coupled transports of Na+ and K+.

The membrane-bound coupling factor from Mycobacterium phlei was solubilized from membrane vesicles by washing with low ionic strength buffer or 0.25 M sucrose. The solubilized enzyme exhibited coupling factor, latent ATPase, and succinate oxidation-stimulating activity. Purification by affinity chromatography using Sepharose coupled to ADP yielded a homogeneous preparation of latent ATPase which was purified about 200-fold with an 84% yield in a single step. Purified latent ATPase exhibited coupling factor activity but no succinate oxidation-stimulating activity. The molecular weight of latent ATPase was determined to be 250,000 +/- 10,000 by Sephadex G-200 chromatography. The ATPase was unmasked by trypsin treatment and activated by Mg2+ ion. However, trypsin treatment inactivated the coupling factor activity in the purified enzyme, indicating that the catalytic sites for ATPase and coupling activity are different. Unlike mitochondrial ATPase, latent ATPase from M. phlei was not cold-labile. Of the nucleoside triphosphates, UTP, ITP, and epsilon-ATP (1-N6-ethenoadenosine triphosphate) were hydrolyzed to a lesser extent compared to ATP. Kinetic data showed that ADP acted as a competitive inhibitor of latent ATPase activity with a Ki of 5 x 10(-3) M. Uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation and respiratory inhibitors did not affect the latent ATPase activity, while sodium azide (0.1 mM) inhibited the latent ATPase activity.

The purpose of this investigation was twofold: (1) to identify and characterize the enzymatic ATP hydrolysis system of epithelial cilia, and (2) to develop a quantitative, biochemical test for the ciliotoxic cystic fibrosis (CF) factor based on inhibition of ATP utilization by ciliary preparations. Our rationale for selecting this system for CF factor analysis relates to the tight and essential mechanochemical coupling of functioning cilia. Using rabbit tracheal epithelium as the source, a high molecular weight (greater than 200,000) ATPase was identified, partially purified, and extensively characterized. The properties of this protein were similar to those observed in previous studies of others with flagellar and ciliary dynein (the motility-associated ATPase) isolated from microorganisms. Analysis of the pH profile revealed a broad range of high enzymatic activity between 6.5 and 9. Studies with potential cation activators showed that the enzyme is activated equally by either Ca2+ or Mg2+ in equimolar concentrations. No activation occurred in the presence of Zn2+, Na+, H+, or Na+ plus K+ and the effect of Mg2+ or Ca2+ was not inhibited by Na+, K+, or Na+ plus K+. The enzyme hydrolyzed Mg2+-containing solutions of UTP, CTP, and ADP at 51-54% the rate of ATP dephosphorylation, whereas Mg-deoxy-ATP was hydrolyzed 79% as effectively as ATP. Using a newly devised, analytical technique with [gamma-32P]ATP as the substrate, the ATP hydrolysis of various ciliary preparations from rabbit trachea and oyster gill (including motile suspensions) was monitored in the presence of sera from CF homo- and heterozygotes. Reproducible rates of ATP dephosphorylation averaging 27 nmol/min/mg protein were demonstrable with homogenates of ciliated epithelium. None of the test systems evaluated, however, were capable of demonstrating CF-related differences in ATPase activity or ATP utilization. Although these attemps have been unsuccessful thus far, the approach described in this report provides an example of an objective, quantitative, biochemical assessment of ciliary function.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis catalyzed by the plasma membrane (Na+,K+)ATPase isolated from several sources was inhibited by Mg+, provided that K+ and ATP were also present. Phosphorylation of the adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) by ATP and by inorganic phosphate was also inhibited, as was p-nitrophenyl phosphatase activity. (Ethylenedinitrilo)tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and catecholamines protected from and reversed the inhibition of ATP hydrolysis by Mg2+, K+ and ATP. EDTA was protected by chelation of Mg2+ but catecholamines acted by some other mechanism. The specificities of various nucleotides as inhibitors (in conjunction with Mg2+ and K+) and as substrates for the (Na+, K+) ATPase were strikingly different. ATP, ADP, beta,gamma-CH2-ATP and alpha,beta-CH2-ADP were active as inhibitors, whereas inosine, cytidine, uridine, and guanosine triphosphates (ITP, CTP, UTP, and GTP) and adenosine monophosphate (AMP) were not. On the other hand, ATP and CTP were substrates and beta,gamma-NH-ATP was a competitive inhibitor of ATP hydrolysis, but not an inhibitor in conjunction with Mg2+ and K+. The Ca2+-ATPase from sarcoplasmic reticulum and F1, the Mg2+-ATPase from the inner mitochondrial membrane, were also inhibited by Mg2+. Catecholamines reversed inhibition of the Ca2+-ATPase, but not that of F1.

A partially purified soluble ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) from pea cotyledon mitochondria was characterized. Inhibition patterns with azide, NaF, and cold, and a stimulation by 2,4-dinitrophenol were typical of F1-ATPases from mammalian mitochondria. The enzyme hydrolysed GTP, ITP, and ATP, but not CTP, UTP, ADP, or IDP. ATPase and ITPase activities were strongly inhibited by ADP and to a lesser extent by IDP. Distinctive properties of the pea mitochondrial enzyme were activation by high concentrations of CaCl2 and stimulation by NaCl.

Ca2+-ATPase of skeletal muscle sarcolemma has been isolated and purified. It is prepared from salt extract of sarcolemma by ammonium sulfate fractionation and further purified by gel chromatography on Sepharose 4B. The purity of preparations was evaluated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate. It has been shown that Ca2+-ATPase possesses the same mobility as skeletal muscle myosin under gel chromatography on Sepharose 4B and the same mobility as myosin heavy chains in sodium dodecyl sulfate--polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Membrane protein binds to rabbit skeletal muscle actin, and this complex dissociates by ATP. Interaction with actin does not change Ca2+- or Mg2+-stimulated ATPase activity. Enzyme has only one pH optimum at 7,0-7,6. Membrane protein is highly specified to calcium--ATPase activity in the presence of Mn2+ is 10% and in the presence of Sr2+, Mg2+ or Co2+ are 3-5% of the activity in the presence of Ca2+. Other nucleoside triphosphate (UTP and ITP) are hydrolyzed at lower rates than is ATP.
