ATPases were solubilized from membranes of Acetabularia acetabulum using nonanoyl-N-methylgluconamide and purified by ion-exchange and gel permeation chromatography. Three fractions of ATPase, Mono Q-I, -II, and -III, were separated. Activity in fraction Mono Q-I was very labile and could not be accurately determined. Fractions Mono Q-II and -III had specific activities of 0.6 and 6 units/mg of protein, respectively. By SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing, and peptide mapping, it was shown that fractions Mono Q-II and -III consisted of the same polypeptides with molecular masses of 54K (a-subunit) and 50K (b-subunit). Fractions Mono Q-II and -III had the following catalytic properties: pH optimum at 6.0; substrate specificity, ATP = GTP = ITP much greater than UTP = CTP (Km for ATP 0.6 mM); divalent cation requirement, Mn2+ = Mg2+ greater than Co2+ greater than Zn2+ much greater than Ca2+, Ni2+. Both activities were inhibited by monovalent anions, while monovalent cations had neither inhibitory nor stimulatory effects. Orthovanadate inhibited both activities to 50% at 1 mM, and the most effective inhibitor of both was azide (95% inhibition at 100 microM). An enzyme-phosphate complex was formed after incubation of fraction Mono Q-III with [gamma-32P]ATP. The CF1-ATPase subcomplexes were isolated from the same organism and compared with the fraction Mono Q-III. Data supported the difference of fraction Mono Q-III from CF1-ATPase.

An ATPase from anaerobic Lactobacillus casei has been isolated and 100-times purified. The 400 kDa enzyme molecule was found to have a hexagonal structure 10 nm in diameter composed of at least six protein masses. SDS-electrophoresis reveals four or, under certain conditions, five types of subunit, of apparent molecular masses 57 (alpha), 55 (beta), 40 (gamma), 22 (delta) and 14 (epsilon) kDa with stoichiometry of 3 alpha, 3 beta, gamma, delta, epsilon. The following features resembling F1-ATPases from other sources were found to be inherent in the solubilized L. casei ATPase. (i) Detachment from the membrane desensitizes ATPase to low DCCD concentrations and sensitizes it to water-soluble carbodiimide. (ii) Soluble ATPase is inhibited by Nbf chloride and azide, is resistant to SH-modifiers and is activated by sulfite and octyl glucoside, the activating effect being much stronger than in the case of the membrane-bound ATPase. Substrate specificity of the enzyme is also similar to that of other factors F1. Divalent cations strongly activate the soluble enzyme when added at a concentration equal to that of ATP. An excess of Mn2+, Mg2+ or Co2+ inhibits ATPase activity of F1, whereas that of Ca2+ induces its further activation. No other F1-like ATPases are found in L. casei. It is concluded that this anaerobic bacterium possesses a typical F1-ATPase similar to those in mitochondria, chloroplasts, aerobic and photosynthetic eubacteria.

The degradation of insulin in isolated liver endosomes and the relationships of this process with ATP-dependent endosomal acidification have been studied. Incubation of endosomal fractions containing 125I-insulin in isotonic KCl at 30 degrees C resulted in a rapid loss of insulin integrity as judged from trichloroacetic acid precipitability, Sephadex G-50 chromatography, immunoreactivity and receptor binding ability, with a maximum at pH 5-6 (t1/2: 10, 10, 6 and 6 min, respectively). On a log/log plot, the amount of acid-soluble products generated was linearly related to the amount of insulin associated with endosomes (slope, 0.80). Upon incubation, virtually all acid-soluble products diffused out of endosomes as judged from their solubility in aqueous poly(ethyleneglycol). In permeabilized endosomes, intact insulin was also released in part extraluminally, but only when degradation was inhibited did this release increase with lowering pH. ATP shifted the pH for maximal insulin degradation to about 7.5-8.5 and caused endosomal acidification as judged from the uptake of acridine orange and the fluorescence of internalized fluorescein-labeled dextran and galactosylated bovine serum albumin (delta pH about 0.8-0.9). GTP, ITP and UTP exerted comparable effects but with lower potencies. The ability of ATP to alter the pH dependence of insulin degradation was maximal in the presence of Cl-, other anions being less effective (Br- greater than gluconate = SO4(2-) greater than NO3- = sucrose = mannitol) and/or inhibitory (NO3-). Na+, K+ and Li+ supported more effectively ATP-dependent insulin degradation than did choline. Divalent cations were required for the ATP effect (Mg2+ = Mn2+ greater than Co2+ greater than Ni2+ = Zn2 greater than Ca2+). Little or no effects of ATP occurred in the presence of proton ionophores such as monensin and carbonyl cyanide chlorophenylhydrazone, and inhibitors of the proton ATPase such as N-ethylmaleimide. The abilities of nucleotides, ions and inhibitors to support or inhibit ATP-dependent insulin degradation were well correlated with their abilities to affect ATP-dependent acidification. The acidotropic agents chloroquine and quinacrine caused a leftward shift in the pH dependence of insulin degradation and a decrease in maximal degradation; in the presence of ATP, chloroquine almost completely inhibited degradation at pH 5-9. It is concluded that ATP-dependent acidification, in part by enhancing the dissociation of the insulin-receptor complex, is required for optimum degradation of insulin within liver endosomes.

Reversal of the cycle of sarcoplasmic reticulum ATPase starts from ATPase phosphorylation by Pi, in the presence of Mg2+, and leads to ATP synthesis. We show here that ATP can also be synthesized when Ca2+ replaces Mg2+. In the absence of a calcium gradient and in the presence of dimethyl sulfoxide, ATPase phosphorylation from Pi and Ca2+ led to the formation of an unstable phosphoenzyme. This instability was due to a competition between the phosphorylation reaction induced by Pi and Ca2+ and the transition induced by Ca2+ binding to the transport sites, which led to a conformation that could not be phosphorylated from Pi. Dimethyl sulfoxide and low temperature stabilized the calcium phosphoenzyme, which under appropriate conditions, subsequently reacted with ADP to synthesize ATP. Substitution of Co2+, Mn2+, Cd2+, or Ni2+ for Mg2+ induced ATPase phosphorylation from Pi, giving phosphoenzymes of various stabilities. However, substitution of Ba2+, Sr2+, or Cr3+ produced no detectable phosphoenzymes, under the same experimental conditions. Our results show that ATPase phosphorylation from Pi, like its phosphorylation from ATP, does not have a strict specificity for magnesium.

Cobalt ion inhibits the Ca2+ + Mg2(+)-ATPase activity of sealed sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles, of solubilized membranes and of the purified enzyme. To use Co2+ appropriately as a spectroscopic ruler to map functional sites of the Ca2+ + Mg2(+)-ATPase, we have carried out studies to obtain the kinetic parameters needed to define the experimental conditions to conduct the fluorimetric studies. 1. The apparent K0.5 values of inhibition of this ATPase are 1.4 mM, 4.8 mM and 9.5 mM total Co2+ at pH 8.0, 7.0 and 6.0, respectively. The inhibition by Co2+ is likely to be due to free Co2+ binding to the enzyme. Millimolar Ca2+ can fully reverse this inhibition, and also reverses the quenching of the fluorescence of fluorescein-labeled sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes due to Co2+ binding to the Ca2+ + Mg2(+)-ATPase. Therefore, we conclude that Co2+ interacts with Ca2+ binding sites. 2. Co2+.ATP can be used as a substrate by this enzyme with Vmax of 2.4 +/- 0.2 mumol ATP hydrolyzed min-1 (mg protein)-1 at 20-22 degrees C and pH 8.0, and with a K0.5 of 0.4-0.5 mM. 3. Co2+ partially quenches, about 10 +/- 2%, the fluorescence of fluorescein-labeled sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ + Mg2(+)-ATPase upon binding to this enzyme at pH 8.0. From the fluorescence data we have estimated an average distance between Co2+ and fluorescein in the ATPase of 1.1-1.8 nm or 1.3-2.1 nm for one or two equidistant Co2+ binding sites, respectively. 4. Co2+.ATP quenches about 20-25% of the fluorescence of fluorescein-labeled Ca2+ + Mg2(+)-ATPase, from which we obtain a distance of 1.1-1.9 nm between Co2+ and fluorescein located at neighbouring catalytic sites.

The effect of extracellular calcium (Ca2+) on the cellular action of forskolin was studied using a Na+, K(+)-ATPase inhibitor ouabain in rat renal papillary collecting tubule cells in culture. Forskolin-induced cAMP production was enhanced by the pretreatment of cells with ouabain, providing that a dose-dependent curve with forskolin shifted to the left. The enhancement by ouabain of cellular cAMP production in response to forskolin was totally blunted by cotreatment with cobalt, verapamil, or Ca2(+)-free medium containing 1 mM EGTA. In addition, two dissimilar antagonists of calmodulin, namely trifluoperazine and N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide (W - 7), attenuated the ouabain's effect on cAMP production in response to forskolin. These results therefore indicate that ouabain enhances the activation of adenylate cyclase by forskolin, mediated through cellular free Ca2+, in renal papillary collecting tubule cells, and that extracellular Ca2+ is an important source for cellular Ca2+ mobilization by ouabain.

The exchange-inert tetra-ammino-chromium complex of ATP [Cr(NH3)4ATP], unlike the analogous cobalt complex Co(NH3)4ATP, inactivated Na+/K(+)-ATPase slowly by interacting with the high-affinity ATP binding site. The inactivation proceeded at 37 degrees C with an inactivation rate constant of 1.34 x 10(-3) min-1 and with a dissociation constant of 0.62 microM. To assess the potential role of the water ligands of metal in binding and inactivation, a kinetic analysis of the inactivation of Na+/K(+)-ATPase by Cr(NH3)4ATP, and its H2O-substituted derivatives Cr(NH3)3(H2O)ATP, Cr(NH3)2(H2O)2ATP and Cr(H2O)4ATP was carried out. The substitution of the H2O ligands with NH3 ligands increased the apparent binding affinity and decreased the inactivation rate constants of the enzyme by these complexes. Inactivation by Cr(H2O)4ATP was 29-fold faster than the inactivation by Cr(NH3)4ATP. These results suggested that substitution to Cr(III) occurs during the inactivation of the enzyme. Additionally hydrogen bonding between water ligands of metal and the enzyme's active-site residues does not seem to play a significant role in the inactivation of Na+/K(+)-ATPase by Cr(III)-ATP complexes. Inactivation of the enzyme by Rh(H2O)nATP occurred by binding of this analogue to the high-affinity ATP site with an apparent dissociation constant of 1.8 microM. The observed inactivation rate constant of 2.11 x 10(-3) min-1 became higher when Na+ or Mg2+ or both were present. The presence of K+ however, increased the dissociation constant without altering the inactivation rate constant. High concentrations of Na+ reactivated the Rh(H2O)nATP-inactivated enzyme. Co(NH3)4ATP inactivates Na+/K(+)-ATPase by binding to the low-affinity ATP binding site only at high concentrations. However, inactivation of the enzyme by Cr(III)-ATP or Rh(III)-ATP complexes was prevented when low concentrations of Co(NH3)4ATP were present. This indicates that, although Co(NH3)4ATP interacts with both ATP sites, inactivation occurs only through the low-affinity ATP site. Inactivation of Na+/K(+)-ATPase was faster by the delta isomer of Co(NH3)4ATP than by the delta isomer. Co(NH3)4ATP, but not Cr(H2O)4ATP or adenosine 5'-[beta,gamma-methylene]triphosphate competitively inhibited K(+)-activated p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity of Na+/K(+)-ATPase, which is assumed to be a partial reaction of the enzyme catalyzed by the low-affinity ATP binding site.

Cat soleus motor nerve terminals, after high frequency conditioning, generate a post-tetanic repetition (PTR) which leads to a post-tetanic (PTP) of the muscle response. This property enables quantitative assessment of enhancement or depression of this nerve terminal excitability in vivo. The present study focuses on ionic mechanisms underlying the PTRs produced in this neuromuscular system either by high frequency stimulation or edrophonium. Ouabain was used as a specific probe for inhibition of Na(+)-K+ ATPase and its known consequences on Na+ and Ca2+ translocation. Ouabain pretreatment doubled the duration over which single stimuli, following either high frequency or edrophonium conditioning produced PTR. Ouabain in the doses used had no effect per se but as a function of dose augmented the frequency dependent responses. This pointed to Na+ loading of nerve terminals via high frequency stimulation plus ouabain inhibition of Na(+)-K+ ATPase. Ouabain potentiation of PTR responses evidently depends on exchange of intra-terminal sodium for external calcium. Thus, calcium entry blockers, Mn2+, and Co2+ suppressed or abolished the potentiations both before and after ouabain. Diphenylhydantoin, a Na+ and Ca2+ blocker, acted similarly. The effects of stimulation frequency, ouabain and the sequence of events leading to PTR in the soleus neuromuscular system appeared in general no different from those derived from the many in vitro microphysiologic studies of this phenomenon. Thus, EPPs were augmented and prolonged. It was concluded that intracellular Ca2+ is critical for regulating the stability of systems in which repetitive firing is both a normal and abnormal function.

The chromium(III) complex of ATP, an MgATP complex analogue, inactivates (Na+ + K+)-ATPase by forming a stable chromo-phosphointermediate. The rate constant k2 of inactivation at 37 degrees C of the beta, gamma-bidentate of CrATP is enhanced by Na+ (K0.5 = 1.08 mM), imidazole (K0.5 = 15 mM) and Mg2+ (K0.5 = 0.7 mM). These cations did not affect the dissociation constant of the enzyme-chromium-ATP complex. The inactive chromophosphoenzyme is reactivated slowly by high concentrations of Na+ at 37 degrees C. The half-maximal effect on the reactivation was reached at 40 mM NaCl, when the maximally observable reactivation was studied. However, 126 mM NaCl was necessary to see the half-maximal effect on the apparent reactivation velocity constant. K+ ions hindered the reactivation with a Ki of 70 microM. Formation of the chromophosphoenzyme led to a reduction of the Rb+ binding sites and of the capacity to occlude Rb+. The beta, gamma-bidentate of chromium(III)ATP (Kd = 8 microM) had a higher than the alpha, beta, gamma-tridentate of chromium(III)ATP (Kd = 44 microM) or the cobalt tetramine complex of ATP (Kd = 500 microM). The beta, gamma-bidentate of the chromium(III) complex of adenosine 5'-[beta, gamma-methylene]triphosphate also inactivated (Na+ + K+)ATPase. Although CrATP could not support Na+, K+ exchange in everted vesicles prepared from human red blood cells, it supported the Na+-Na+ and Rb+-Rb+ exchange. It is concluded that CrATP opens up Na+ and K+ channels by forming a relatively stable modified enzyme-CrATP complex. This stable complex is also formed in the presence of the chromium complex of adenosine 5'-[beta, gamma-methylene]triphosphate. Because the beta, gamma-bidentate of chromium ATP is recognized better than the alpha, beta, gamma-tridentate, it is concluded that the triphosphate site recognizes MgATP with a straight polyphosphate chain and that the Mg2+ resides between the beta- and the gamma-phosphorus. The enhancement of inactivation by Mg2+ and Na+ may be caused by conformational changes at the triphosphate site.

In the present study we investigated the membrane events and the ionic processes which mediate the stimulatory effect of ouabain on the release of endogenous dopamine (DA) and "previously taken-up" [3H]DA release from rat hypothalamic tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic (TIDA) neurons. Ouabain (0.1-1 mM) dose-dependently stimulated endogenous DA and "newly taken-up" [3H]DA release. This effect was counteracted partially by nomifensine (10 microM). Removal of Ca++ ions from the extracellular space in the presence of the Ca++-chelator ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N'-tetraacetic acid prevented completely ouabain-elicited [3H]DA release. Lanthanum (1 mM) and cobalt (2 mM), two inorganic Ca++-entry blockers, were able to inhibit this stimulatory effect, whereas verapamil (10 microM) and nitrendipine (50 microM), two organic antagonists of the voltage-operated channel for Ca++ ions, failed to affect ouabain-induced [3H]DA release. By contrast, adriamycin (100-300 microM), a putative inhibitor of cardiac Na+-Ca++ antiporter, dose-dependently prevented ouabain-induced [3H]DA release from TIDA neurons. Finally, tetrodotoxin reduced digitalis-stimulated [3H]DA release. In conclusion, these results seem to be compatible with the idea that the inhibition of Na+,K+-adenosine triphosphatase by ouabain stimulates the release of [3H]DA from a central neuronal system like the TIDA tract and that this effect is critically dependent on the entrance of Ca++ ions into the nerve terminals of these neurons. In addition the Na+-Ca++ exchange antiporter appears to be the membrane system which transports Ca++ ions into the neuronal cytoplasm during Na+,K+-adenosine triphosphatase inhibition. The enhanced intracellular Ca++ availability triggers DA release which could occur partially through a carrier-dependent process.
