Madin-Darby canine kidney cells were used to study events in the postsynthetic processing and cell surface delivery of Na,K-ATPase. The photoactivable 2-nitro-5-azidobenzoyl (NAB) derivative of ouabain and an anti-ouabain antibody were employed in experiments designed to determine the time intervals required for newly synthesized Na,K-ATPase to achieve the capacity to bind ouabain and to arrive at the cell surface. Ouabain-binding capacity was assessed in Madin Darby canine kidney cells which were pulse-labeled with [35S]methionine. At various chase intervals cells were disrupted by probe sonication and the resultant vesicles were permeabilized. Vesicles were incubated with NAB-ouabain and, following UV photolysis, solubilized and subjected to immunoprecipitation with an anti-ouabain antibody. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and fluorography of immunoprecipitates revealed that newly synthesized Na,K-ATPase can carry out type II (Mg2+ and Pi supported) ouabain binding throughout the course of its postsynthetic processing. In contrast, the ability to carry out type I (Na+, Mg2+, and ATP-supported) ouabain binding is not attained until 10 min after the completion of the sodium pump's synthesis. Experiments in which intact pulse-labeled cells were incubated with NAB-ouabain revealed that the Na,K-ATPase arrives at the cell surface as soon as 50 min after its synthesis. These results suggest that postsynthetic processing is required before the newly synthesized Na,K-ATPase can display its full repertoire of catalytic functions. This processing seems to be complete prior to the newly synthesized sodium pump's arrival at the cell surface.

Effects of S-adenosyl-L-methionine disulfate tosylate salt (SAMe-ST) and L-methionine (L-Met) on rat erythrocytes and primary cultured hepatocytes were studied. SAMe-ST in concentrations of 0.2 to 5.0 mg/ml protected erythrocytes from hypotonic hemolysis. Almost an identical level of protection was provided by SAMe chloride, suggesting that this protective effect is due to the SAMe moiety itself but not its sulfate or tosylate moiety. L-Met also showed a slight protective effect, but at higher concentrations, it slightly enhanced hemolysis. When the cultured hepatocytes were treated with SAMe-ST, the leakage of enzymes from the hepatocytes were significantly decreased compared with that in the control. L-Met also showed similar protective effects, but to a lesser degree than in the case of SAMe-ST. SAMe-ST significantly increased Na+.K(+)-ATPase activity. The present results indicate that SAMe remarkably inhibits hypotonic hemolysis and enzyme leakage from cultured hepatocytes and that its mechanism is probably related to a change in the membrane property.

Effects of morphine on noradrenaline release from rat cerebrocortical synaptosomes and on the Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity in homogenates of synaptosomes and of synaptic membranes were examined. Both morphine (10(-3)-10(-5) M) and methionine-enkephalin (M-Enk; 10(-5) M) inhibited the enhanced [3H]noradrenaline [( 3H]NA) release evoked by high concentrations of K+ from synaptosomes and these inhibitory actions were antagonized by naloxone (10(-4), 10(-5) M). Morphine (10(-3)-10(-5) M) and M-Enk (10(-5) M) stimulated the Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity in homogenates of synaptosomes but not of synaptic membranes in the incubation medium containing 2.2 X 10(-6)-4.7 X 10(-7) M free Ca2+ and these stimulatory effects were antagonized by naloxone. In homogenates of synaptic membranes, the same concentrations of morphine and M-Enk stimulated the Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity suppressed by FeCl2 (5 X 10(-7) M) but not by CuCl2 nor ZnCl2, and these stimulatory effects were antagonized by naloxone. Significant levels of Fe2+ were liberated from synaptosomes during the preparation of synaptic membrane using distilled water. These results suggest that both morphine and M-Enk stimulate the suppressed Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity by interacting with Fe2+ at opioid receptor sites, and they may play a role in the suppression of membrane depolarization and/or the release of NA through their stimulatory action on the Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity probably suppressed by Fe2+ in the rat cerebral cortex.

The human gastric (H+ + K+)-ATPase gene (15 kilobases) was cloned, and its nucleotide sequence was determined. The gene has 22 exons and codes a protein of 1,035 residues including the initiator methionine (Mr = 114,047). A conserved lysine-rich sequence with inserted glycine residues was found near the amino terminus of the enzyme. The phosphorylation site and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate- and fluorescein isothiocyanate-binding residues found in the rat and pig enzymes are also conserved in the human enzyme. The positions of introns in the human (H+ + K+)-ATPase gene are essentially the same as those in the human (Na+ + K+)-ATPase alpha and alpha III subunits; but the first introns of the two enzymes are difficult to align, and unlike in the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase gene, the sixth exon in the (H+ + K+)-ATPase gene is not separated by an intron. Furthermore, the ninth intron is located two bases upstream of the position for the corresponding intron of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase alpha III subunit. The similarity in organization of these two ATPase genes and the homology in the primary structures of their proteins (approximately 60%) suggest that these two genes were derived from a common ancestral gene. However, the 5'-flanking regions of the genes for (H+ + K+)-ATPase and the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase alpha (+) subunit show no apparent sequence homology, indicating that their transcriptions are regulated differently. The control region of the fast-twitch sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2(+)-ATPase gene also showed no sequence homology to that of (H+ + K+)-ATPase. The 5'-flanking region of the (H+ + K+)-ATPase gene contains potential binding sites for RNA polymerase II and various transcriptional regulation factors and several direct and inverted repeat sequences which may be important for specific and controlled expression of the gene in gastric parietal cells. There are two polyadenylation signals in the 3'-flanking region of the (H+ + K+)-ATPase gene, but the sequence of this region shows no homology to those of the corresponding regions of the genes for the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase alpha and alpha III subunits.

Tryptic digestion of pig renal Na/K-ATPase in the presence of Rb and absence of Ca ions removes about half of the protein but leaves a stable 19-kDa membrane-embedded fragment derived from the alpha chain, a largely intact beta chain, and essentially normal Rb- and Na-occlusion capacity. Subsequent digestion with trypsin in the presence of Ca or absence of Rb ions leads to rapid loss of the 19-kDa fragment and a parallel loss of Rb occlusion, demonstrating that the fragment is essential for occlusion. The N-terminal sequence of the 19-kDa fragment is Asn-Pro-Lys-Thr-Asp-Lys-Leu-Val-Asn-Glu-Arg-Leu-Ile-Ser-Met-Ala, beginning at residue 830 and extending toward the C terminus. Membranes containing the 19-kDa fragment have the following functional properties. (i) ATP-dependent functions are absent. (ii) The apparent affinity for occluding Rb is unchanged, the affinity for Na is lower than in the control enzyme, and activation is now strongly sigmoidal rather than hyperbolic. (iii) Membranes containing the 19-kDa fragment can be reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles and sustain slow Rb-Rb exchange. Thus the transport pathway is retained. We conclude that cation occlusion sites and the transport pathway within transmembrane segments are quite separate from the ATP binding site, located on the cytoplasmic domain of the alpha chain. Interactions between cation and ATP sites, the heart of active transport, must be indirect--mediated, presumably, by conformational changes of the protein.

Differentiation and biogenesis of mitochondria in brown adipose tissue (BAT) was studied in situ and in cell culture by Western blotting, enzyme activity measurements, [35S]methionine incorporation and immunofluorescence microscopy. In different rodent species the perinatal development of BAT thermogenic function resulted from the formation of thermogenic mitochondria which replaced the preexisting nonthermogenic mitochondria. Their biogenesis was characterized by the sudden appearance and rapid increase of the uncoupling protein (UCP), increase of cytochrome oxidase (COX) and decrease of H(+)-ATPase. In primary cell culture, differentiation of precursor cells from mouse BAT to typical multilocular adipocytes was accompanied by increasing content of COX and H(+)-ATPase. A selective synthesis of UCP was induced by activation of beta-adrenergic receptors or by elevated levels of cellular cAMP. UCP was quantitatively incorporated into mitochondria and within 24 h after stimulation reached near physiological concentration. Both in situ and in cell culture, the conditions enabling the expression of UCP gene were accompanied by activation of intracellular thyroxine 5'-deiodinase.

The E1 open reading frame (ORF) of bovine papillomavirus type 1 is required for the persistence of viral genomes as multicopy plasmid molecules in transformed rodent fibroblasts. E1 has been reported to contain two separate complementation groups (M and R, corresponding to N- and C-terminal domains, respectively) which regulate viral replication. However, E1 behaves as a single gene with respect to cell transformation and viral transcription. We examined the proteins translated from the entire ORF by using three antisera raised against E1 peptide or bacterial fusion proteins. The capacity of the whole ORF to encode a 72-kDa protein was demonstrated by translation of synthetic RNA in a reticulocyte lysate system, by microinjection of RNA into Xenopus oocytes, and by expression in recombinant baculoviruses and vaccinia viruses. In eucaryotic cells, this protein was found to be phosphorylated and targeted to the cell nucleus. In vitro translation also produced shorter peptides, containing only the E1 C-terminal domain, because of internal translation starts on the third and fourth methionine codons within E1 ORF. On the other hand, mammalian cells infected by vaccinia E1 recombinant virus contained additional larger E1 phosphoproteins (transient 85-kDa and stable 88-kDa species), likely representing processed forms of the 72-kDa species. The E1 72-kDa nuclear phosphoprotein was detected in bovine papillomavirus type 1-transformed cells. We report the biochemical characteristics of full-sized and truncated E1 proteins: (i) the C-terminal half of E1 ORF contains a phosphorylation site(s); (ii) the full-sized E1, but not the C-terminal protein, binds DNA, without indication for recognition of defined sequences, and critical determinants for this activity are likely confined to an N-terminal domain of the protein; (iii) covalent affinity labeling experiments performed on vaccinia virus-encoded E1 proteins with an ATP analog confirmed our previous observation of sequence similarities between the E1 C-terminal domain and the ATPase domain of simian virus 40 large T antigen.

The ability of methyl-deficient, amino-acid-defined diets to produce enzyme-altered foci was quantitatively determined in the livers of rats treated both with and without an initiating dose of diethylnitrosamine (DEN). Male weanling F-344 rats were fed a complete, amino-acid-defined diet for 1 week. They were then injected i.p. with a single dose of DEN (20 mg/kg body weight) and fed the complete diet for an additional week. Forty animals in each dose group were then maintained for 5-38 weeks on the complete diet (diet 1) or one of the three methyl-deficient diets customarily used in this laboratory: diet 2, devoid of methionine and choline; diet 3, devoid of methionine only; and diet 4, devoid of choline only. In diets 2 and 3, methionine was replaced by equimolar amounts of its metabolic precursor, DL-homocystine. Ten animals per group were killed 8, 12, 17, 24 and 41 weeks after DEN initiation. For 2 weeks prior to being killed, each group was maintained on the complete diet to minimize the histological abnormalities due to acute toxicity of the diets. Serial sections of the livers were obtained, stained sequentially for gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase, ATPase and glucose-6-phosphatase, and the quantitation of the focal lesions scored by these markers was carried out by quantitative stereology. The results indicated that, regardless of the enzyme marker(s) examined, there was a general correspondence between the volume and number of altered hepatic foci (AHF) formed and the previously described tumor-promoting activities of each diet. Thus, while all DEN-treated groups contained significant numbers of AHF 24 weeks after initiation, only the diet-2-fed animals displayed such foci at 8 weeks. Similarly, among the uninitiated rats, only those fed diet 2 exhibited the presence of AHF throughout the experimental period. Interestingly, the livers of uninitiated, choline-deficient rats showed a small number of AHF at 24 and 42 weeks; these foci were not observed at all in the corresponding DEN-untreated animals fed diet 3, deficient in methionine only. The results provide evidence that the carcinogenic effects of the methionine- and choline-deficient diet result more from its strongly promoting effect than from any initiating activity by the diet.

The epitopes of two classes of monoclonal antibody and the binding site for the epsilon subunit have been mapped to the carboxyl-terminal region of the beta subunit of Escherichia coli F1-ATPase using partial CNBr cleavage, weak acid hydrolysis, and Western blots. One class of antibody, B-I, inhibits ATPase activity; the other class, B-II, recognizes an epitope not exposed on the surface of intact F1. Data from two-dimensional gels and blots of beta cleaved with CNBr/weak acid showed that the B-I epitope lies between Asp-381 and the carboxyl-terminal Leu-459, and the B-II epitope lies between Asp-345 and Met-380. Weak acid hydrolysis of the beta-epsilon product obtained by cross-linking F1 with a water-soluble carbodiimide yielded a fragment containing epsilon and a 13-kDa carboxyl-terminal fragment of beta indicating that epsilon interacts with this portion of beta as well. Fab fragments from the B-I antibody beta-6 could be cross-linked to the epsilon subunit in native F1 by various cross-linking agents demonstrating that the antibody and the epsilon subunit occupy adjacent, nonoverlapping sites on the beta subunit. Implications of these results for the roles of the epsilon subunit and of the carboxyl-terminal region of the beta subunit in F1 are discussed.

The synthesis and assembly of chloroplast H+-ATPase complex were studied by analyzing the incorporation of [35S]methionine into the constituent subunits with isolated intact chloroplasts and with thylakoid membranes that had been prepared from the chloroplasts so that they would retain ribosomes. The complex was isolated from thylakoids after labeling and identified by immunoprecipitation with an antiserum specific to CF1. The mechanism for the assembly of the complex was demonstrated to be active in the isolated chloroplasts by the following observations: the plastid genome-regulated subunits (alpha, beta, epsilon, I, and III) were labeled by in organello translation and recovered with the complex, and three other subunits (gamma, delta, and II) were labeled when intact chloroplasts were incubated with translation products from polyadenylated RNA. The two largest subunits, alpha and beta, were translated on thylakoid-bound ribosomes when the thylakoid membranes were incubated with soluble factors from Escherichia coli. They were recovered with the H+-ATPase complex, suggesting that they are translated on the bound ribosomes in the chloroplast, and that the isolated membranes retain the ability to assemble a complete complex. Provided that these observations are the result of de novo assembly of the complex, the imported and processed nuclear-coded subunits are presumed to be pooled not in stroma but on the membrane.
