The adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activities of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) were studied with an assay that monitored the release of 32P-labeled inorganic pyrophosphate (32P1) from gamma-[32P]adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP). In cell homogenates, (Na+ + K+)-sensitive, ouabain-inhibitable ATPase comprised an insignificant fraction of the total ATPase activity. Additions of p-nitrophenyl phosphate and beta-glycerophosphate (substrates for nonspecific acid and alkaline phosphatases) and of tartrate (inhibitor of acid phosphatase) gave no indication of inhibition. This suggested that the assay was relatively specific for ATP hydrolysis. The activity was found to have a pH optimum of 8.7 and a Km for ATP of 0.6 mM. There was an absolute requirement for Mg2+, with other divalent cations substituting less efficiently. When the Mg2+-dependent ATPase activity of intact cells was compared with that in homogenized cells, no significant difference was observed. The activity in intact cells was linear with respect to incubation time up to at least l0 min. Trypan blue staining and lactate dehydrogenase assays revealed that greater than 92% of the PMNL remained intact and viable during the assay. No soluble ATPase was released from the cells under assay conditions. In following the distribution of gamma[32P]ATP and 32P2 counts became cell associated. Since the experimental evidence supports the observation that PMNL remain intact and viable and that ATP does not penetrate the cell under assay conditions, it is proposed that greater than 90% of the Mg2+-dependent ATPase of the human PMNL is associated with a plasma membrnae enzyme. This would qualify the enzyme for the role of a plasma membrane marker for future fractionation and isolation attempts.

The kinetic properties of the [3H]ADP-ATP exchange reaction catalyzed by Na+, K+-dependent ATPase [EC 3.6.1,3] were investigated, using NaI-treated microsomes from bovine brain, and the following results were obtained. 1. The rates of the Na+-dependent exchange reaction in the steady state were measured in a solution containing 45 micronM free Mg2+, 100 mMNaCl, 80 micronM ATP, and 160 micronM ADP at pH 6.5 and 4-5 degrees. The rate and amount of decrease in phosphorylated intermediate on adding ADP, i.e., the amount of ADP-sensitive EP, were measured while varying one of the reaction parameters and fixing the others mentioned above. Plots of the exchange rate and the amount of ADP-sensitive EP against the logarithm of free Mg2+ concentration gave bell-shaped curves with maximum values at 50-60 micronM free Mg2+. Plots of the exchange rate and the amount of ADP-sensitive EP against pH also gave bell-shaped curves with maximum values at pH 6.9-7. They both increased with increase in the concentration of NaCl to maximum values at 150-200 mM NaCl, and then decreased rapidly with increase in the NaCl concentration above 200 mM. The dependences of the exchange rate and the amount of ADP-sensitive EP on the concentration of ADP followed the Michaelis-Menten equation, and the Michaelis constants Km, for both were 43 micronM. The dependence of the exchange rate on the ATP concentration also followed the Michaelis-Menten equation, and the Km value was 30 micronM. The amount of ADP-sensitive EP increased with increase in the ATP concentration, and reached a maximum value at about 5 micronM ATP. 2. The N+-dependent [3H]ADP-ATP exchange reaction was started by adding [3H]ADP to EP at low Mg2+-concentration. The reaction consisted of a rapid initial phase and a slow steady phase. The amount of [3H]ATP formed during the rapid initial phase, i.e. the size of the ATP burst, was equal to that of ADP-sensitive EP, and was proportional to the rate in the steady state. At high Mg2+ concentration, the rate of Na+-dependent exchange in the steady state was almost zero, and EP did not show any ADP sensitivity. However, rapid formation of [3H]ATP was observed in the pre-steady state, and the size of the ATP burst increased with increase in the KCl concentration. From these findings, we concluded that an enzyme-ATP complex (E2ATP) formed at low Mg2+ concentration is in equilibrium with EP + ADP, that the rate-limiting step for the exchange reaction is the release of ATP from the enzyme-ATP complex, that the ADP-insensitive EP (formula: see text) produced at high Mg2+ concentration is in equilibrium with the enzyme-ATP complex, and that the equilibrium shifts towards the enzyme-ATP complex on adding KCl. Actually, the ratio of the size of the ATP burst to the amount of EP was equal to the reciprocal of the equilibrium constant of step (formula: see text), determined by a method previously reported by us.

The pH-activity curve of heavy meromyosin ATPase [EC 3.6.1.3] was measured at various temperatures. The pH-activity curve at higher temperatures showed a maximum at low pH and a minimum at pH 7 to 8 as has been already reported. At lower temperatures it was sigmoidal in shape, similar to a simple dissociation curve of pKa 6 to 7. The pH-activity curve at intermediate temperatures appeared to be inbetween the two extreme shapes. These changes in pH-activity curve with temperature were found to be common in the presence of divalent cations such as Mg2+, Mn2+, and Ca2+. The ATPase mechanism may be identical in the presence of any divalent cation, and the rate determining step revealing the steady state rate alters by changing the temperature. The transition temperatures estimated at pH 8 were 10 degrees, 8 degrees, and about 5 degrees in the presence of MnCl2, CaCl2, and MgCl2, respectively. The difference in the temperature coefficients above and below the transition temperature was most distinct in the presence of MnCl2, and vague in the presence of CaCl2. A similar change of pH-activity curve with temperature was found with heavy meromyosin ITPase in the presence of MgCl2.

The UV absorption difference spectrum of heavy meromyosin induced by ATP was measured at various temperatures. At higher temperatures, the difference spectrum formed rapidly after adding ATP and continued steadily during the steady state which we have called the ATP-form of difference spectrum. At lower temperatures, the ATP-form of difference spectrum decayed into the other form before the steady state was attained. This was identical to the difference spectrum obtained by adding ADP and has been called the ADP-form of difference spectrum. At intermediate temperatures, biphasic decay was observed. The results indicate that the dominant intermediate at the steady state is altered from the one showing the ATP-form of difference spectrum at higher temperatures to that showing the ADP-form at lower temperatures. The population of the two intermediates depends on the temperature between the two extremes. This temperature-induced transition was observed in the presence of any divalent cation such as Mg2+, Mn2+, or Ca2+. A similar transition was observed with the difference spectrum induced by ITP in the presence of MgCl2. The pH dependence of the single early decay of the ATP-induced difference spectrum was measured in the presence of MnCl2 at 1 degree. The apparent rate constant of the decay showed a biphasic pH dependence, having the same shape as the pH activity curve of ATPase [EC 3.6.1.3] observed at higher temperatures. The rate determining step for the steady state ATPase at higher temperatures is thought to be the step of changing from the intermediate complex showing the ATP-form of difference spectrum to that showing the ADP-form. This is inconsistent with our previous mechanism (Yazawa, M. et al. (1973) J. Biochem. 74, 1107-1117). The rate determining step at lower temperatures was assigned as a step of ADP dissociation.

(Na+ + K+)-ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) was purified from human cadaver renal tissue and exhibited a linear reaction rate with time. 100 g of whole kidney would yield 1--3.5 mg protein with a specific activity of 50--200 mol - kg-1 - h-1 for (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. The preparation was completely inhibited by 100 micronM ouabain with a Ki of 1.8 micronM. K+-dependent phosphatase increased during purification of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase to 7.8 mol - kg-1 - h-1. There was no detectable Mg2+-ATPase in the final preparation. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis yielded three protein peaks of 117 000, 92 500, and 56 000 daltons. The peptide band corresponding to 92 500 daltons underwent an Na+-dependent phosphorylation with [gamma-32P]-ATP. The band at 56 000 daltons stained for glycoprotein. The Km for ATP was 0.38 mM and that for Mg2+ was 0.5 mM. The formation of ADP and inorganic phosphate from ATP was stoichiometric. The Km for Na+ in the presence of 20 mM K+ was 16 mM and the Km for K+ in the presence of 100 mM Na+ was 1.5 mM. The temperature optimum was 51degrees C and the pH optimum was 7.0. (Na+ + K+)-ATPase in whole homogenate, microsomes, and NaI-treated microsomes exhibited a slowing of reaction rate (non-linearity) with time such that the enzyme was inactive by 10--15 min of reaction. This non-linearity was eliminated during purification. The significance is discussed.

The fluorescent calcium indicator, calcein, has been used as a high-affinity indicator of Ca2+ in the aqueous phase at physiological pH in the study of high-affinity calcium binding to sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). The binding constant of the indicator at physiological pH is 10(3)-10(4) M-1 and increases with increasing pH. The binding mechanism of the indicator with Ca2+ and Mg2+ is described. Application of calcein as an aqueous indicator of Ca2+ binding to the SR at room temperature has revealed two classes of binding sites: one with high capacity and low affinity (ca. 820 nmol/mg protein, Kd = 1.9 mM), and another with low capacity and higher affinity (ca. 35 nmol/mg protein, Kd = 17.5 micronM). The divalent cation specificity of the low-affinity site is low and Ca2+/Mg2+ specificity of the high-affinity site is high. Quantitative studies of the bindings indicate that the high-affinity site residues in the Ca2+ ATPase (carrier) protein and represents complexation in the active site of the carrier and that the low-affinity site residues in the nonspecific acidic binding proteins. The contribution of Donnan equilibrium effects to the measured binding is shown to be insignificant. Stopped flow kinetic studies of Ca2+ passive binding with calcein and arsenazo III dyes have demonstrated that the binding to high-affinity site is very fast and that the overall binding reaction with the low-affinity site is slow, with a time course of about 4 s. Our analysis has shown that at least part of the low-affinity acidic proteins are within the SR matrix and that Ca2+ can reach them only by transversing the membrane via the Ca2+ carrier (Ca2+ ATPase). A model of the SR is proposed that accounts for several functional properties of the organelle in terms of its known protein composition and topological organization.

In sarcoplasmic reticulum of rabbit skeletal muscles the activity of Ca2+, Mg2+- dependent ATPase was distinctly inhibited under effect of neuroleptic drugs - derivatives of phenothiazine and butyrophenone. The effect of tricyclic antidepressants was less pronounced. Tranquilizers (derivatives of 1,4-benzodiazepine) inhibited the enzyme, but trioxazin was only slightly active. High concentrations of lithium salts and of psychostimulants caffeine and corasole were found to stimulate the Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase activity; low concentrations of the substances slightly inhibited the enzyme. The blocking effect of psychotropic drugs was more distinct, if the enzyme preparations were previously treated with ATP.

It has been proposed (Slayman, C.L., Long W.S., and Lu, C.Y.-H. (1973) J. Membr. Biol. 14, 305--338) that in Neurospora crassa, a plasma membrane ATPase functions to pump H+ ions out of the cell, thereby generating an electrochemical gradient that can drive transport processes. Using the concanavalin A method of Scarborough (Scarborough G.A. (1975)J. Biol. Chem. 250, 1106--1111), we have prepared plasma membranes of Neurospora and have deomonstrated that they do contain a distinct ATPase activity with the following properties. It has a pH optimum of 6.0, is highly specific for ATP (hydrolyzing other nucleoside triphosphates less than 6% as rapidly), requires Mg2+ at concentrations approximately equimolar to the concentration of ATP, is weakly stimulated by certain monovalent cations (K+ and NH4+) and anions (SCN- and acetate), is inhibited by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, but is not affected by oligomycin or ouabain. The plasma membrane fraction also contains residual mitochondrial contamination, which can be determined quantitatively by assaying oligomycin-sensitive ATP-ase activity, at pH 8.25, and succinic dehydrogenase activity.

An ATPase is demonstrated in plasma membrane fractions of goldfish gills. This enzyme is stimulated by Cl- and HCO-3, inhibited by SCN-. Biochemical characterization shows that HCO-3 stimulation (Km = 2.5 mequiv./l) is specifically inhibited in a competitive fashion by SCN- (Ki = 0.25 mequiv./l). This residual Mg2+-dependent activity is weakly affected by SCN-. In the microsomal fraction chloride stimulation of the enzyme occurs in the presence of HCO-3 (Km for chloride = 1 mequiv/l); no stimulation is observed in the absence of HCO-3. Thiocyanate exhibits a mixed type of inhibition (Ki = 0.06 mequiv./l) towards the Cl- stimulation of the enzyme. Bicarbonate-dependent ATPase from the mitochondrial fraction is stimulated by Cl-, but this enzyme has a relatively weak affinity for this substrate (Km = 14 mequiv./l).

The HCO-3-stimulated Mg2+ -ATPase activity in red cell ghost fragments was investigated. Increasing the HCO-3 concentration in the incubation medium resulted in increased ATPase activity. NaHCO3 appeared to be more effective than KHCO3 in this regard. The ATPase activities were slightly stimulated by increases in ionic strength and utilized ITP almost as readily as ATP. A Mg/ATP ratio of 1.0 and a pH of 7.6 yielded maximum activity. These properties are of interest since the present enzyme is the only unquestionable instance where a HCO-3 ATPase is located in the surface membrane of a cell.
