Renal brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) of the dog possess at least two ATPase activities. In the present study, we have examined the effect of pH, ions, and inhibitors on the activity of ATPase in BBMV. Two different sets of conditions were identified that produced stimulation of ATPase activity. A unique stimulation of BBMV ATPase activity occurred at acidic pH in the presence of 1 mM ZnCl2. In the absence of Zn2+, a second ATPase activity was stimulated by alkaline pH values with peak stimulation occurring between pH 8.5 and 9.0. The results suggest that the alkaline pH-stimulated hydrolysis of ATP probably represents the activity of BBMV alkaline phosphatase. The unique acidic pH + Zn2(+)-stimulated ATPase activity must represent the activity of a second protein other than the alkaline phosphatase, since purified alkaline phosphatase did not show this activity. The biochemical identity and physiological function of this renal BBMV ATPase activity remain to be determined, but it may be an ecto-ATPase.

Guinea pigs fed a diet low in zinc develop clinical signs of apparent neurological origin. The signs include abnormal posture and locomotion as well as hypersensitivity to touch. In this study, electrophysiological and biochemical measurements were made on sciatic nerves from zinc-deficient and repleted animals as well as on controls fed either ad libitum or restricted to maintain weight comparable to those consuming the deficient diet. Both in vivo and in vitro measurements showed decreased motor nerve conduction velocity (NCV) in nerves of deficient animals. A longitudinal study showed excellent correlation of NCV and severity of clinical signs. Nerves from zinc-deficient guinea pigs had decreased Na,K-ATPase activity, but the number of sodium channels, as determined by saxitoxin binding, was not affected. It was concluded that the clinical signs of neuropathy in zinc deficiency are associated with impaired NCV and decreased Na,K-ATPase activity of peripheral nerves. The zinc-deficient guinea pig provides a useful model to study the biochemical defect in a peripheral neuropathy.

There is need for a reliable index of zinc status in humans. Considering the importance of zinc in membrane function, activities of erythrocyte membrane enzymes have been measured in animals of low and normal zinc status as possible indices. Immature rats and neonatal pigs were fed low and adequate zinc diets; the latter was fed both ad libitum and restricted so as to control for food intake effects. Low rates of gain and plasma zinc concentrations demonstrated that animals fed the low zinc diets were of low zinc status. Erythrocyte membranes were prepared and assayed for Na,K-ATPase, 5'-nucleotidase, and calcium-ATPase activities. Na,K-ATPase activity was not affected by zinc status, but 5'-nucleotidase was significantly lower in deficient animals of both species than in controls, whose food intake was restricted to maintain comparable weight (2.76 vs 3.94 nmol/hr/mg of protein in rats and 60.5 vs 119 in pigs). The basal calcium-ATPase activities were also decreased by low zinc status in both species. Addition of calmodulin in vitro stimulated activity two-fold to four-fold and resulted in the same maximal activities for all treatments. The results show that erythrocyte membrane 5'-nucleotidase activity is an index of zinc status in these species. It is suggested that the decreased membrane calcium-ATPase activity in zinc deficiency is caused by a defect in calmodulin metabolism.

Evidence is presented for the existence of ectoenzymes in rat renal cortical brush-border membrane vesicles that produce adenosine as a final product using either ATP, ADP or AMP as substrate. The enzymes are insensitive to levamisole, ouabain, oligomycin and N-ethylmaleimide, and have absolute requirement for divalent cations with following order of activation Mg2+ greater than Ca2+ greater than Mn2+ greater than Ba2+ greater than Zn2+. At least two separate enzymes can be distinguished. One is capable of hydrolyzing ATP, other nucleoside triphosphates and ADP, but not AMP. The enzyme is insensitive to concanavalin A. The other enzyme hydrolyzes AMP and is strongly inhibited by this lectin. Mg2(+)-stimulated ATP hydrolysis displays saturation kinetics which is not of the simple Michaelis-Menten type, but is biphasic with a high-affinity (K'm = 0.16 mM) and low-affinity site (K'm = 9.0 mM), respectively. The low-affinity site hydrolyzes ATP, ITP and GTP to a similar extent, whereas CTP and UTP with about 40% lower rate. The high-affinity site splits ATP much better than other nucleoside triphosphates. Hydrolysis of ADP follows simple Michaelis-Menten saturation kinetic with apparent Km = 0.38 +/- 0.06 mM. Inhibition, activation and substrate specificity studies indicate that nucleoside triphosphatase and nucleoside diphosphatase may reside on the same protein. Kinetics of the AMP hydrolysis is hyperbolic with apparent Km = 76 +/- 9 microM. The cascade of ectonucleotidases in the brush-border membrane of the proximal tubule may catalyze the degradation of filtered nucleotides into adenosine and phosphate, the compounds which are thereafter probably reabsorbed by separate transport systems.

A summary of recent studies on relations between the properties of the membrane incorporating the H+-K+-ATPase, the H+ motive force in gastric acid secretion, and the secretory state of the parietal cell is presented. Depending on tissue secretory state, two distinct H+-K+-ATPase-rich membranes predominate in tissue homogenates, the gastric microsomes derived from the intracellular tubulovesicles of the resting cell and the stimulation-associated (SA) vesicle derived from the apical membrane of the acid-secreting cell. Structural and chemical differences between both vesicular types lend support to the notion that the formation of an expanded, elaborated apical membrane in the secreting parietal cell results from fusion of tubulovesicles containing the H+-K+-ATPase to an apical membrane of different chemical composition. Comparison of polypeptide composition of microsomes and SA membranes provides a way to identify and isolate membrane and cytoskeletal components putatively involved in the membrane interconversion process. Comparison of transport properties between gastric microsomes and SA vesicles demonstrates that stimulation triggers the appearance of rapid K+ and Cl- permeabilities in the H+-K+-ATPase membrane, allowing efficient acid accumulation in SA vesicles by the combination of rapid KCl influx followed by ATPase-driven H+ for K+ exchange, i.e., by K+ recycling. These stimulation-triggered conductances are functionally independent. Nevertheless, their concurrent inhibition by certain divalent cations (Mn2+,Zn2+) suggests their location within a single physical domain. The compatibility of the K+-recycling model for HCl accumulation in SA vesicles with gastric HCl secretion and selected electrophysiological observations and certain implications of the findings for cellular mechanisms of transport regulation in the context of a membrane fusion and recycling model are discussed.

The characteristics of the H+ pump in isolated rat renal endocytotic vesicles were studied by the delta pH-sensitive dye acridine orange, the voltage-sensitive dye 3,3'-dipropylthiadicarbocyanine iodide, and by a coupled optical ATPase assay. Intravesicular acidification depended on ATP and Mg2+ concentrations with half-maximal activations at 73 and 77 microM, respectively. CTP, GTP, UTP, and ITP partially supported acidification, but ADP and AMP did not. Ouabain, ethoxzolamide, levamisole, and vanadate did not inhibit H+ uptake into endocytotic vesicles. Oligomycin inhibited partially. Depending on concentration and preincubation time, Dio-9, filipin, N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) inhibited H+ uptake completely. Filipin and, partially, DCCD acted nonspecifically by dissipating pH gradients. A specific cation was not required for the H+ pump; Zn2+ inhibited. Compared with mannitol, ATP-driven H+ uptake was stimulated by SCN- greater than Cl- greater than Br- greater than I- much greater than HPO4(2-) = gluconate = HCO3- = F-, but not by SO4(2-), NO3-, CH3COO-, S2O3(2-), and S4O6(2-). Chloride stimulated H+ uptake from the outside of the vesicles with an apparent Km of 27 mM. In the absence of Cl-, ATP-driven proton uptake was increased by intravesicular K+ and valinomycin, suggesting that the pump is electrogenic. The electrogenicity, however, could not be demonstrated with voltage-sensitive dyes. The vesicle membrane contains no significant K+ and Cl- conductances; only a conductance for H+ was found. The vesicles exhibited an ouabain-, oligomycin-, and vanadate-insensitive ATPase activity that was inhibited by DCCD and NEM. Our data indicate the presence of an electrogenic H+ pump in endocytotic vesicles from rat renal proximal tubules with similar characteristics as H+ pumps present in various intracellular (nonmitochondrial) membranes.

An endosomal fraction isolated from rabbit renal cortex by a novel, fast, and simple procedure was enriched in ATP-dependent H+ pumping that was oligomycin insensitive but was inhibited by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD), N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), Zn2+, Hg2+, diethylstilbestrol, mersalyl, and 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole. No substantial Na+-H+ exchange was detected. Electrogenicity of the pump was demonstrated using [14C]-SCN-. In addition, these membranes featured ATP-dependent Cl- flux. The ATP-driven H+ pumping had an absolute requirement for Cl-: an inside-negative membrane potential was not a substitute for Cl-. The protonophore carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone inhibited ATP-driven Cl- uptake but no inhibition was observed with nigericin. Finally, both ATP-driven H+ pumping and ATP-dependent Cl- flux were inhibited by Cl(-)-channel inhibitors. Part, or all, of the absolute dependence on Cl- may derive from a Cl- channel, the function of which is intimately related to H+ pumping by the ATPase. Flux through this Cl- channel may be regulated by one or more factors, including ATP, membrane potential, and pH.

Divalent cations are divided into two groups in relation to their ability to promote ATP synthase catalyzed reactions. In the presence of Mg2+, the following pattern rules: (i) uncoupler-stimulated ATP hydrolysis of Rhodospirillum rubrum chromatophores which shows an optimum concentration of the divalent cation; (ii) ATP-induced proton pumping in chromatophores; (iii) light-induced ATP synthesis in chromatophores; (iv) no or very low ATPase activity of purified F1-ATPase unmasked by diethylstilbestrol or n-octyl beta-D-glucopyranoside. In the presence of Ca2+, the following pattern occurs: (i) no stimulation of the ATP hydrolysis in chromatophores by carbonyl cyanide p-(trifluoromethoxy)phenylhydrazone; (ii) no ATP-induced proton pumping; (iii) no light-induced ATP synthesis; (iv) a high ATPase activity of the purified F1-ATPase which is inhibited by diethylstilbestrol and n-octyl beta-D-glucopyranoside. Co2+, Mn2+, and Zn2+ are members of the "Mg2+-group", whereas Cd2+ is suggested to fall between the two groups. Intrinsic uncoupling of the membrane-bound ATP synthase has been suggested to account for the effect caused by Ca2+ in chloroplasts [Pick, U., & Weiss, M. (1988) Eur. J. Biochem. 173, 623-628]. Such an interpretation is consistent with our results on chromatophores. The uncoupling cannot occur at the level of the membrane since neither light-induced nor Mg-ATP-induced proton pumping is affected by Ca2+. A conformational change is suggested to be the reason for this intrinsic uncoupling, and it is proposed to be controlled by the diameters of the divalent cations (Ca2+ greater than Cd2+ greater than Mn2+ greater than Co2+ greater than Zn2+ greater than Mg2+).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Experimental studies performed on 227 rats showed that Zn-aspartate and Zn-glycinate administered ip lowered the incidence, number, and severity of the reserpine-induced gastric lesions ensuring significant protection indices. Histochemical methods revealed increased amount of mucosal glycoproteins. The activity of dehydrogenases involved in energy metabolism that modulates acid secretion in the parietal cells was depressed. RNA content in the chief cells, as premises of pepsinogen synthesis, was decreased. ATPase reaction in the periglandular capillaries was uniform and stronger, showing an improvement of gastric mucosal microcirculation. Since these histochemical changes were also noted in healthy rats receiving Zn salts, it might be suggested that they are not the mere expression of an anti-ulcer protective effect of zinc, but rather reflect its mechanism of action, relating to the complex metabolic events induced by the trace element. Our results are in agreement with those previously reported concerning the noxious influence of Zn depletion, the accelerated healing of peptic ulcer patients after Zn treatment, and the protective effect of Zn against ulcerogenesis in several experimental models involving different pathomechanisms.

The effect of regucalcin, a calcium-binding protein isolated from rat liver cytosol, on Ca2+-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity in hepatic microsomes was investigated. Mg2+-ATPase activity was clearly increased by the presence of 50 microM Ca2+. Regucalcin (1.0-4.0 microM) caused a remarkable elevation (about 3-fold) of Ca2+-ATPase activity. Also, Mg2+-ATPase activity was increased (about 1.6-fold) by the presence of regucalcin (2.0 and 4.0 microM). Guanosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTPrs; 10(-5) and 10(-4) M) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidized form (NADP+; 10(-5) to 10(-3) M) or reduced form (NADPH; 10(-4) and 10(-3) M) significantly increased Ca2+-ATPase activity. These increases were not enhanced by the presence of regucalcin (2.0 microM). Of various metal ions, a comparatively low concentration of V5+ (10(-5) M) or Cd2+ (10(-6) M) significantly increased Ca2+-ATPase activity, while Hg2+, Zn2+, Cu2+ and Mn2+ did not have such an effect. Regucalcin (2.0 microM) did not enhance the effect of V5+ and Cd2+ on Ca2+-ATPase activity. The present finding, that regucalcin activates hepatic microsomal Ca2+-ATPase, suggests a cell physiological role of regucalcin as an activator in the microsomal Ca2+-pump activity. This action of regucalcin may not be influenced by other regulators.
