Cadmium ions (10(-5)-10(-3) M) stimulate Na-dependent transport of a weak organic acid, fluorescein, into the proximal tubules of surviving frog kidney. Their stimulatory action ceases with increasing the duration of incubation to 45-60 minutes (stimulation does not disappear after introducing acetate into the incubating medium), in the presence of amiloride in the tubular lumen or in the absence of Na+ from the medium. The data obtained in the present work coincide with the previously reported evidence of the influence of Cd2+ on the Na-independent fluorescein transport into the proximal tubules of rat kidney. They are in good accordance with the suggestion that the effect of Cd2+ of the weak organic acid transport is mediated through an acceleration of the active reabsorption of Na+ with the accompanying activation of Na,K-ATPase.

A water-soluble Mg2+-ATPase previously reported (White, M.D. and Ralston, G.B. (1976) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 436, 567-576) has been purified from human erythrocyte membranes. The purified enzyme has a molecular weight of 575 000; the apparent minimum molecular weight was 100 000, corresponding to a soluble protein of the component 3 region. The Km value for ATP was 1 mM and apparent Km for Mg2+ was 3.6 mM. By means of histochemical activity staining in acrylamide gels it was shown that the purified ATPase preparation could be inhibited by Cd2+ and Zn2+ salts, p-chloromercuribenzoate and N-ethylmaleimide, known inhibitors of membrane endocytosis.

Coupling factor B activity was measured by the stimulation of the ATP-driven NAD+ reduction by succinate or the 32Pi-ATP exchange activity of Factor B-depleted submitochondrial particles. Half-maximal coupling activity was inhibited by 30 microM cadmium, 5 microM phenylarsine oxide, or 0.3 mM arsenite-2,3-dimercaptopropanol. The inhibition was relieved by slight excess of dithiol but not by a 10-fold molar excess of 2-mercaptoethanol. Inhibition of coupling activity by phenylarsine oxide or cadmium was not due to interference in binding of Factor B to depleted particles. Isolated Factor B binds phenylarsine oxide resulting in loss of ability to stimulate depleted submitochondrial particles. The inhibition was largely overcome by dithiol but not by monothiols. The residual coupling activity of depleted submitochondrial particles was highly resistant to cadmium or arsenical. Moreover, binding of arsenical to the depleted particles per se, did not result in inhibition of Factor B-stimulated activity. Furthermore, the addition of phenylarsine oxide to H+-ATPase resulted in loss of Pi-ATP exchange and stimulation of oligomycin-sensitive ATPase activities. Both effects were further potentiated by 2-mercaptoethanol and reversed by dithiols. These effects parallel uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria by these inhibitors and point to Factor B as the probable component sensitive to these inhibitors.

The 25 000-Da tryptic fragment from rabbit muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase was subjected to cyanogen bromide digestion, and the four fragments isolated. Only the 13 000-Da fragment induced ionophorous activity in planar thin lipid membranes made with 5:1 (w/w) phosphatidylcholine/cholesterol in decane. The membranes became cation selective, with a selectivity sequence among divalent of Mn2+ greater than Ca2+ greater than Ba2+ greater than Sr2+ greater than Mg2+. This is different from that of the 25 000-Da fragment (A.E. Shamoo, 1978, J. Memb. Biol. 43, 227-242), it's 'parent' 55 000-Da fragment, and the intact enzyme, all of which have the same selectivity sequence. The inhibitory effects of Hg2+, Cd2+ and Zn2+ were also examined. All were inhibitory, with Zn2+ being the most effective of these. The heavy-metal-induced inhibition of Ca2+ conductance could be reversed by selective chelation of the heavy metals by EDTA. From changes in the selectivity as well as changes in heavy-metal-induced inhibition behavior, we conclude that the ion transport site of the 13 000-Da fragment may not be the same site as that of the parent fragment. It is either a different site altogether or has been physically modified by peptide cleavage.

The effects of Al3+, Cd2+ and Mn2+ on human erythrocyte choline transport, Na-K-ATPase, Ca-Mg-ATPase and intracellular K+ levels were examined. The concentrations used were below the levels which caused significant haemolysis (less than or equal to 300 microM). All three cations inhibited concentrative choline accumulation over 3 hr [IC50 values at 1 microM choline were 35 microM (AlCl3), 250 microM (CdCl2) and 300 microM (MnCl2)] but at the concentrations tested, none decreased initial rates of choline uptake. The effects of Cd2+ and Mn2+ (but not Al3+) on choline accumulation were reversed by removing the cations from the extracellular medium by washing. All three cations also inhibited efflux of choline, at 1 microM choline, 30% inhibition being produced by 33 microM AlCl3, 81 microM CdCl2 and 111 microM MnCl2. At subhaemolytic concentrations, only CdCl2 inhibited Na-K-ATPase, (IC50 = 147 microM) and none of the cations significantly inhibited Ca-Mg-ATPase. Intracellular K+ levels were only reduced by the highest concentration of AlCl3 used (100 microM). These results suggest that inhibition of choline accumulation and efflux in erythrocytes by Al3+, Cd2+ and Mn2+ is not explicable solely in terms of either inhibition of Ca-Mg-ATPase, or inhibition of Na-K-ATPase causing reduced intracellular K+. Our conclusions are similar to those previously obtained using synaptosomes and provide support for the hypothesis that inhibition of choline transport by Al3+ may contribute to a number of disease states.

The present study focuses on the interaction between cadmium (Cd) and the Na, K-ATPase system in in vitro grown vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) derived from the rat carotid artery. In disrupted VSMCs rendered permeable by osmotic shock, Cd inhibited Na, K-ATPase; I50 was reached at 10(-5) M Cd. Mg-ATPase was also inhibited by Cd; I50 was attained at concentrations of 10(-4) M Cd. Cd inhibition of Na,K-ATPase in the VSMCs was noncompetitive with respect to Na, K, and ATP. Rubidium transport experiments performed with intact VSMCs demonstrated that within an incubation period of 150 minutes, a concentration of 10(-4) M Cd in the extracellular fluid exerted no acute effect on the Na-K pump. Within this time interval, intracellular Cd attained a concentration eightfold higher than the extracellular Cd concentration. Thus, it appears that under acute conditions Cd exerts its inhibitory effect on Na, K-ATPase only in disrupted VSMCs. The data further suggest that, in the VSMC, conditions under which Cd inhibits Na, K-ATPase are consistent with inhibition from the cytoplasmic side of the cell membrane.

Cadmium was administered in drinking water at a concentration of 50 ppm to female Wistar rats for 5 months before mating, and then continued during gestation. The histochemical evaluation revealed a relative decrease in succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) and Mg+2-stimulated ATPase activities in duodenum, liver and kidney in the exposed rats. It is suggested that the resulting decrease in metabolic efficiency in maternal organs would be expected to exert an indirect, inhibitive effect on maternal-fetal transfer of nutrients, as reflected by fetal growth retardation.

Membrane energization by ATP has been measured in vesicles containing purified bovine heart mitochondrial H+-ATPase (ATP synthase) with the voltage-sensitive dye oxonol VI. The dithiol chelator, Cd2+, and the thiol oxidant, copper o-phenanthroline, produced discharge of the membrane potential when added at the steady state and inhibited its establishment when added prior to energization by ATP. These effects, which were reversed by dithiothreitol, were not accompanied by an increase in the nonspecific H+ permeability of the membrane. Passive H+ conduction in proteoliposomes containing F0 (hydrophobic segment of ATP synthase) was assayed by the quenching of 9-aminoacridine fluorescence after establishing a K+ diffusion potential. This conductance was blocked by Cd2+, an inhibitor of coupling factor B (FB). Labeling of F0 with 115Cd2+ at the concentrations that inhibited the F0 conductance followed by gel electrophoresis yielded a single radioactive band with a molecular weight corresponding to FB, the presence of which in the F0 preparation was confirmed by immunoblot staining. The data offer strong evidence that FB is an essential component of the H+ channel of F0, because H+ conduction through the channel is inhibited by chemical modification of FB.

Interaction between Gd3+ and Tb3+ ions and Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum was studied. Three classes of lanthanide-ion binding sites with different affinities were distinguished. Binding of Gd3+ to the site with the highest affinity seemed to occur at less than 10(-6)M free Gd3+ and resulted in severe inhibition of ATPase activity. The reaction rates of both E-P formation and decomposition in the forward direction were inhibited in parallel with this binding, whereas ADP-dependent decay of E-P in the backward direction was not. At these Gd3+ concentrations, Ca2+-binding to the transport site was not inhibited. Binding of Gd3+ and Tb3+ to the Ca2+-transport site did occur, but more than 10(-5)M free Gd3+ or Tb3+ was required for effective competition with Ca2+ for that site. Gd3+ bound to the transport site in place of Ca2+ did not activate the E-P intermediate formation. Addition of 10(-1)M Tb3+ to a suspension of sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes resulted in marked enhancement of Tb3+ fluorescence, which is due to an energy transfer from aromatic amino acid residues of ATPase to Tb3+ ions bound to the low affinity site of the enzyme. Gd3+ and Mn2+ competed with Tb3+ for that site, but Ca2+, Zn2+, and Cd2+ did not.

Evidence for the presence of a functionally important vicinal dithiol in mitochondrial coupling factor B (FB) has been presented earlier (Sanadi, D. R. (1982) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 683, 39-56). FB was completely inactivated by 38 micron of copper o-phenanthroline or 0.63 mM iodosobenzoate, and the kinetics were consistent with intramolecular disulfide formation as were polyacrylamide gel patterns which showed that FB which had been treated with copper o-phenanthroline had a different mobility from that of untreated FB. ATP-Pi exchange activity and ATP-induced binding of bis[3-propyl-5-oxoisoxazol-4-yl]pentamethine oxonol (oxonol VI) to H+ -ATPase were also inhibited by the thiol oxidizing reagents, although oligomycin-sensitive ATPase activity was unaffected. F0 isolated from H+ -ATPase rebinds purified F1 with the restoration of ATP-induced oxonol-binding activity. Prior treatment of F0 (but not of F1) with copper o-phenanthroline abolished the oxonol-binding activity of reconstituted F0-F1. 115Cd binds tightly to H+ -ATPase and the bound protein can be recovered by gel electrophoresis in phosphate buffer in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate at a position corresponding to FB. Prior treatment of the H+ -ATPase with copper o-phenanthroline abolished 115Cd binding. The results indicate that the major effect of these inhibitors is on FB dithiol and leave little doubt that Cd2+ is indeed bound to a vicinal dithiol group.
