1. The proton-translocating adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) of bovine heart mitochondria was highly purified by extraction of submitochondrial particles with cholate, fractionation with ammonium sulfate, and sucrose gradient centrifugation in the presence of methanol, deoxycholate, and lysolecithin. 2. The preparation had a very low content of phospholipids, respiratory components, and adenine nucleotide transporter. The ATPase activity (14 o 16 micromoles/min/mg at 30 degrees) was dependent on addition of phospholipids. The purified enzyme was reconstituted with phospholipids, coupling factor 1 (F1), and the oligomycin sensitivity-conferring protein (OSCP) yielding vesicles with highly active 32Pi-ATP exchange (up to 260 nanomoles/min/mg at 30 degrees), and a proton pump driven by ATP. Site III oxidative phosphorylation was reconstituted when purified cytochrome oxidase was included. 3. The 32Pi-ATP exchange of the reconstituted vesicles was sensitive to both rutamycin and dichylohexylcarbodiimide but the ATPase activity was sensitive to rutamycin and not to dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. 4. In sodium dodecyl sulfate-acrylamide gel scans of the complex, the subunits of F1, OSCP, and three other major bands with apparent molecular weights of 32,000, 23,000, and about 11,000 were noted. Three other minor bands with estimated molecular weights of 80,000, 70,000, and 52,000 were also detected. These bands apparently represent residual trace amounts of respiratory components. Quantitative assays of individual respiratory components revealed between 0 and 3% contamination. 5. We conclude that the rutamycin-sensitive ATPase complex functions as a reversible ATP-driven proton pump.

The subsynaptosomal distribution of the borohydride stabilizable binding of serotonin (5-HT) in the brain was investigated using various enzyme markers, such as NAD glycohydrolase (NADase), Na+, K+-activated ATPase for synaptic membranes, and monoamine oxidase (MAO) for outer mitochondrial membranes. The gross distribution of the activity of NADase and Na+, K+-activated ATPase in various membrane fractions was found to parallel the distribution of 5-HT binding in these fractions. Radioactivity bound to brain fractions was extractable with chloroform-methanol (2:1). The membranous material was solubilized by chloroform-methanol (2:1) and the recovered material, suspended in 0.32 M sucrose was found to retain its 5-HT binding capacity. The protein-phospholipid nature of the binding subcellular macromolecule was demonstrated with proteolytic and lipolytic enzymes.

Membrane preparations of erythrocytes from normal and P. chabaudi-infected mice and membrane preparations of P. chabaudi-infected and uninfected erythrocytes from infected mice and separated by zonal centrifugation were characterized by the pattern of proteins and extracted glycoproteins obtained by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and by the specific activities of membrane associated enzymes. The protein pattern of the membrane preparation of infected erythrocytes showed similar differences from membrane preparations of normal erythrocytes as those described by Weidekamm et al. for P. berghei. The pattern of glycoproteins extracted by the chloroform-methanol method showed characteristic differences as compared to the controls. A new band (PASi) with a molecular weight of about 165,000 corresponds with the protein band IIa. In membrane preparations of normal erythrocytes and of nonparasitized erythrocytes separated from parasitized erythrocytes by zonal centrifugation was no difference in specific activities of ATPase, adenylate kinase and acetylcholinesterase. Adenylate kinase activity was markedly increased and acetyl-cholinesterase activity was slightly increased in membrane preparations of infected cells. Specific activities of ATPase of membrane preparations of normal and parasitized erythrocytes did not show significant differences. There was a decrease in enzyme activity of ATPase and an increase of acetylcholinesterase in Triton X 100 containing samples. Specific activities of an acid phosphatase were lower in membrane preparations of parasitized cells than in the controls.

We have synthesized 2-nitro-5-azidobenzoyl (NAB) derivatives of ouabain as photoaffinity labels of the cardiac glyocoside binding site of Na, K-ATPase. [3HzNAB-ouabain was found to bind to the same number of sites on Na, K-ATPase (purified from pig kidney outer medulla) as ouabain (1.9 nmol/mg), with approximately the same affinity (Kk(ouabain)/Kd(NAB-ouabain) congruent to 1.6), and ouabain was fully competitive uith NAB-ouabain at these sites. NAB-ouabain binding and inhibition were reversible in the dark, but on exposure to ultraviolet light (310-370 nm) 30-40% of the binding and ihibition became irreversible; this binding was shown to be covalent by stability to trichloroacetic acid, organic solvents, and heat denaturation. Covalent labeling was prevented by photolysis of NAB-ouabain prior to the experiment, or by prior incubation of the enzyme with ouabain. On sodium dodecyl suffate-polyacrylamide gels of labeled Na,K-ATPase, about half of the covalently bound [3H]NAB-ouabain migrated with the large polypeptide (molecular weight congruent to 95 000), and half migrated with a small polypeptide (molecular weight congruent to 12 000); noncovalently bound NAB-ouabain (60-70% of total label) ran with the tracking dye. A similar labeling pattern was obtained utilizing NaI microsomes prepared from pig kidney outer medulla. The small polypeptide was characterized as an acidic proteolipid by extractability into acid chloroform/methanol; labeling of this component by NAB-ouabain is the first demonstration that it is directly associated with the Na,K-ATPase. The results of our characterization of NAB-ouabain show that it has the required specificity, covalency, and efficiency of labeling for application in structural studies of Na,K-ATPase subunit interactions.

A method is described for preparation of membrane vesicles (diameter 80nm) capable of respiration-linked ATP synthesis. Vesicles prepared from succinate-grown bacteria oxidized NADH, succinate and ascorbate plus NNN'N'-tetramethylphenylenediamine; vesicles prepared from methanol-grown bacteria also oxidized methanol and formaldehyde, but they were otherwise identical. The uncoupling agent carbonyl cyanide chlorophenylhydrazone and the adenosine triphosphatase inhibitor dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide both inhibited ATP synthesis, whereas they had no effect on the rate of respiration. Rotenone inhibited ATP synthesis and respiration with NADH as substrate; antimycin A inhibited with succinate as substrate, and cyanide inhibited with all substrates. P/O ratios were usually 0.7-1.3 with NADH, 0.6-1.0 with succinate and 0.2-0.6 with reduced NNN'N'-tetramethylphenylenediamine or methanol as respiratory substrate. When 2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol was used as an alternative electron acceptor to O(2) (NADH as donor) the P/2e ratio was 1.65. Although these P/O ratios are minimum values, because they do not take into account unknown amounts of uncoupled O(2) consumption, they are consistent with previous proposals [O'Keeffe & Anthony (1978) Biochem, J.170, 561-567] based on measurements of proton translocation in whole cells. The results also confirm that methanol dehydrogenase and cytochromes c and a/a(3) are arranged so that the first step in methanol oxidation is coupled to synthesis of ATP.

Mitochondrial ATPase complex has been spin-labeled in the membrane using the inhibitor N-(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpeperidyl-1-OXYL)-N(cyclohexyl)carbodiimide (nccd). the amount of NCCD bound to mitochondrial fragments is 0.5 nmol/mg and cannot be dialyzed or extracted with ether, chloroform, or methanol. The electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum of NCCD bound to fragments is pH-sensitive, a greater label immobilization occurring at pH values lower or higher than 7. Ether extraction removes the ATPase inhibition by NCCD without detaching the label. This effect appears to be the consequence of the dislocation of some components of the ATPase complex. Removal of F1 natural inhibitor or of F1 does not affect the spectrum of NCCD bound to fragments, while the removal of oligomycin sensitivity-conferring protein produces an increase in the extreme splitting. Oligomycin sensitivity-conferring protein may thus interact with the NCCD binding component of the membrane. The isolation of the NCCD-binding proteolipid results in a large increase in the mobility of the label, but addition of dipalmitoyllecithin decreases the mobility of the label to the original level. Phospholipids are thus necessary to keep the NCCD-binding proteolipid in the native conformation.

The ATP-energy transducing system in membranes of Escherichia coli is inhibited by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The protein component of this complex with which carbodiimides covalently react to inhibit function was previously identified by labeling wild type and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-resistant mutants with dicyclohexyl[14C]carbodiimide (Fillingame, R. H. (1975) J. Bacteriol. 124, 870-883). This specific carbodiimide-reactive protein has now been purified. The protein was extracted from the membrane with chloroform:methanol and chromatographed on DEAE-cellulose and hydroxypropyl Spehadex G-50 in this sulvent mixture. The resultant 700-fold purification yielded a protein that was homogeneous on dodecyl sulfate-acrylamide gel electrophoresis and virtually free of phospholipid. It remained soluble in neutral chloroform:methanol throughout the purification procedure. The amino acid composition of the purified protein was extraordinary in that only 16% of the amino acids present could be considered polar. Histidine, serine, cysteine, and tryptophan were not found. Abnormally high contents of methionine, glycine, alanine, and leucine were present. One mole of lysine and threonine were found/mole of dicyclohexyl[14C]carbodiimide bound. The minimum molecular weight based on the amino acid composition was 8400. The specific carbodiimide-reactive protein has also been purified without prior modification by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The unmodified protein eluted from DEAE-cellulose at a higher salt concentration than the dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-modified form, which suggested that the reaction with the carbodiimide neutralized the negative charge. Only one-third of the total carbodiimide-reactive protein in the membrane was modified by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide under conditions which maximally inhibited adenosine triphosphatase activity. These results rais the possibility that the carbodiimide-reactive protein may be present as an oligomer in the energy-transducing complex. The purification of the unmodified carbodiimide-reactive protein should permit assessment of tis biological function, particularly its role in the protein-translocation process that is catalyzed by this energy-transducing complex.

The release of lipoteichoic acid and mesosomal vesicles to the supernatant buffer during the formation of spherical, osmotically fragile bodies was studied using Streptococcus faecalis ATCC 9790. Autolytic N-acetylmuramidase action was permitted to take place in exponential-phase cells incubated in a buffer which provides an exceptional degree of osmotic stabilization. Both lipoteichoic acid and mesosomal vesicles were relatively rapidly released to the supernatant buffer. Most of the cellular content of lipoteichoic acid (and mesosomal vesicles) was found in the supernatant buffer at incubation times when the cells still retained over 75% of their cell wall. [14-C]- or [3-H]glycerol was used as a label for both cellular lipoteichoic acids and lipid-glycerol. Glycerol in lipoteichoic acid was quantitated after phenol-water and chloroform-methanol treatments and identified by products of acid hydrolysis and its ability to be precipitated by (i) antibodies specific for the polyglycerol-phosphate backbone, (ii) antibodies to the streptococcal group D antigen, and (iii) concanavalin A. Evidence was obtained that lipoteichoic acid was not associated with isolated mesosomal vesicles. Centrifugation of supernates at 200,000 X g sedimented membranous (mesosomal) vesicles and nearly all of the lipid-glycerol present, whereas essentially all of the lipoteichoic acid remained in the supernatant. The sedimented mesosomal vesicles differed from protoplast membrane in their higher lipid-phosphorus to protein ratio and in the absence of detectable levels of two enzymatic activities found in protoplast membranes, adenosine triphosphatase and polynucleotide phosphorylase. Both types of membranes were found to contain DD-carboxypeptidase and LD-transpeptidase activities at nearly the same specific activities. No evidence was obtained for the association of autolytic N-acetylmuramidase activity with either type of membrane preparation.

The direct synthesis of bis]3-phenyl-5-oxoisoxazol-4-yl]pentamethineoxonol, which is shown to be the fluorescent probe OX-V (formerly MC-V), is described. The emission lifetime (0.9 +/- 0.1 ns) and the spectral properties of this dye in a number of systems are presented as well as the relative polarizations associated with the transition moments of the observable electronic transitions. The structure of OX-V was determined using elemental analysis and infrared and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The use of the contact shift reagent, Eu(fod)3-d27, greatly facilitated the interpretation of the NMR results. In aqueous media, the anionic form of OX-V is present virtually exclusively due to the low solubility of the neutral species; formation of the latter species occurs when ethanol or methanol solutions of OX-V are acidiied. Both neutral and anionic dye forms can be detected in chloroform-ethanol solvents. The fluorescence intensity from excitation of the neutral species is an order of magnitude weaker than that from excitation of the anionic form and may result from the formation of excited anions due to the loss of a proton by the neutral species in the excited state. Polarization results indicate that the visible absorption of the dye is due to a single electronic transition. OX-V has been employed as a probe primarily in beef heart submitochondrial particles, reconstituted ATPase vesicles,a nd pigeon heart mitochondria. The energy-linked spectral changes of the probe in these preparations are described and mechanisms proposed for the spectral effects.

Some modified cerium-based and Gomori-based cerium methods for the demonstration of phosphatase activity in cryostat sections were described. Dextrane as stabilizing agent was added to the incubation media for ATPase, 5'-Nase, and TPPase. The oxidation of the CeIII-phosphate primary reaction product in a separate step by H2O2 before the DAB incubation yielded an increase of the intensity of the DAB-based visualization reaction (Ce-H2O2-DAB-Ni two step method). The sensitivity of the histochemical enzyme reaction was remarkably increased if CeIII-ions were employed as amplifying agent (Ce/Ce-H2O2-DAB-Ni two-step method). A new suitable DAB medium consisting of 0.015% DAB, 2.0% Ni-sulphate, 15% methanol, and 0.005% H2O2 in 0.1 mol/l acetate buffer, pH = 5.2, was used. The disadvantage of diffuse background staining has been overcome by addition of 15% methanol to the DAB solution. Electrovalently bound CeIII (cerophilia) was removed by treatment of the incubated sections with CeIII-citrate (CeIII-complexation). In addition, a novel membrane floating incubation for sections is proposed. At present, the modified procedures are some of the most sensitive modes for the demonstration of phosphatases and improve the earlier described cerium-DAB one-step technique (Halbhuber et al. 1988b).
