A comparative study was performed for actomyosin complexes of the female rabbit myometrium in the state of labour (actomyosin of the control) and secondary uterine inertia (actomyosin of the model). Under the secondary uterine inertia the activity of actomyosin Ca2+- and Mg2+-ATPase decreases. When pH of the medium changes, ATPase of control actomyosin has two peaks of the activity: at rH 6.0 and pH 9.0, that of the model at pH 6.0. Actomyosin of the model and control differs by a degree and rate of superprecipitation, thermal stability and structure. It is supposed that the structural changes in actomyosin under the secondary uterine inertia occur due to accumulation of the metabolism products, the level of which with this pathology is beyond the limits of the adaptation potentialities of the organism.

1. Calcium binding to (Na+ + K+)-ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) preparations from beef and pig heart preparations of varying degrees of purity was measured. 2. Binding was inhibited by Mg2+, Na+ and K+. Inhibition by Na+ and K+ appeared to be due to an ionic strength effect. 3. Four classes of binding sites were identified with Kd values for calcium of about 0.03, 1, 15 and 200 micrometer. 4. Cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation of the enzyme by protein kinase (ATP: protamine O-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.70) had no effect on (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity. 5. Phosphorylation also had no effect on either Kd or Bmax for calcium binding at any of the four sites whether measured in the presence of absence of NaCl or KCl. 6. It is concluded that previous reports of an effect of phosphorylation on calcium binding to a (Na+ + K+)-ATPase preparation may have been due to the presence of membrane material not directly associated with (Na+ + K+)-ATPase.

Cytochemical localization of ATPase activities in cilia and basal bodies of Tetrahymena pyriformis revealed a number of possible sites of ATPases. In basal bodies, reaction product was localized on the periphery of basal body microtubules, in the core of the B-microtubules, on the dense basal body core, and on the basal plate; some reaction product was associated with the postciliary and basal microtubules. In the cilium, reaction product was associated with the ciliary membrane, the basal granule, the periphery of the outer doublet microtubules, in the core of the B-microtubules, and on the arms and either the central microtubules or the radial spoke heads. Reaction product deposition required ATP and either Ca2+ or Mg2+ or ADP and Mg2+. When incubated in the presence of ATP and Na+, reaction product was only found at the base of the cilium in the region of the ciliary necklace. Implications of the various sites of activity are discussed with respect to possible mechanisms of ciliary motility.

Proton influx was measured after imposition of an electrochemical potential difference for protons (delta muH+) across the cell membrane of the anaerobe, Streptococcus lactis. As delta muH+ was increased, there was an approximately parallel increase in proton entry, until delta muH+ attained 175 to 200 mV. At this point, a new pathway became available for proton entry, allowing an abrupt increase in both the rate and extent of H+ influx. This gated response depended upon the value of delta muH+ itself, and not upon the value of either the membrane potential or the pH gradient. For delta muH+ above 175 to 200 mV, elevated proton entry occurred only in cells having a functional membrane-bound Ca2+-stimulated, Mg2+stimulated adenosine 5'-triphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.3). When present, elevated proton entry coincided with the appearance of net synthesis of adenosine 5'-triphosphate catalyzed by this adenosine 5'-triphosphatase. These observations demonstrate that membrane-bound adenosine 5'-triphosphatase catalyzes an obligatory coupling between the inward movement of protons and synthesis of adenosine 5'-triphosphate.

The effect of inhibitors and uncouplers on the osmotic shock-sensitive transport systems for glutamine and galactose (by the beta-methyl galactoside permease) was compared to their effect on the osmotic shock-resistant proline and galactose permease systems in cytochrome-deficient cells of Salmonella typhimurium SASY28. Both osmotic shock-sensitive and -resistant systems were sensitive to uncouplers and to inhibitors of the membrane-bound Ca2+, Mg2+-activated adenosine triphosphatase. This suggests that uptake by both types of systems is energized in these cells by an electrochemical gradient of protons formed by ATP hydrolysis through the ATPase.

Sarcolemma was isolated by fractionation of salt-extracted particles on two consecutive sucrose density gradients. Salt extraction of homogenates, rather than of washed particles, was found to preserve the activities of adenylate cyclase and ouabain-sensitive (Na+,-K+)-ATPase in the isolated sarcolemmal membranes. Purified sarcolemma contained substantial adenylate cyclase and guanylate cyclase activities that were stimulable by beta-adrenergic and muscarinic agonists, respectively. Significant ouabain-sensitive (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity as well as putative digitalis receptor activity was also present in sarcolemma. Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases of sarcolemma, both cAMP- and cGMP-dependent, displayed positive cooperativity of substrate interactions; Ca2+ ions were found to increase the activity of the GMP-dependent enzyme.

Kinetic properties of guanylate cyclase present in the washed particles, plasma membranes, and the soluble cytoplasm of heart and skeletal muscle are described; properties of the enzyme solubilized by Triton X-100 treatment of the particles or membrane fractions are also reported. It is apparent from the data that the membrane-bound guanylate cyclase in the cell may be regulated by acetylcholine, may exist as a metallo-protein with bound Mn2+ (essential for activity), and that Mg2+ regulates, whereas Ca2+ and nucleotides (especially ATP) modulate, guanylate cyclase activity. The findings also suggest that guanylate cyclase, similar to adenylate cyclase and (Na+, K+)-ATPase, is mainly located in the plasma membranes of heart and skeletal muscle.

Properties of HCO--3-stimulated ATPase from rat heart muscle nuclei were studied. The maximal activity of HCO--3-ATPase was observed at concentration of bicarbonate 25 mM. The enzyme had a pH optimum at pH 8.0-8.5. Bicarbonate stimulated the ATPase activity only in presence of Mg2+, Mn2+ and Zn2+, Co2+, Cd2+ and Ca2+ were ineffective. NaCO3 and Na2SO3 at concentration 30 mM stimulated the nuclear ATPase activity by 20% and 81%, respectively. Anions N3--, scn--, clO--4, and I-- inhibited both Mg2+-ATPase and HCO--3-ATPase. HSO--3 and SO2--4 ions did not affect the nuclear ATPase activity.

The activity of calcium-stimulated ATPase (E.C. 3.6.1.3) in homogenates of the secretory enamel organ of rat incisors was studied biochemically. ATP hydrolysis was estimated from the amount of inorganic phosphate liberated. An analysis of the total degradation of ATP was initially performed to ensure that the enzyme assays pertained to the original substrate, ATP, and were not influenced by reaction products formed. Standard incubations were run in tris-maleate buffer, pH 8.2, with 3 mM ATP, 3 mM Ca2+ and 0.5 mM R 8231 at 37 degrees C. The presence of R 8231 was necessary to inhibit nonspecific alkaline phosphatase. The calcium-stimulated ATPase was completely inhibited when heated at 55-60 degrees C for 5 min. The pH optimum was found to be 8.2. The hydrolysis was substantially dependent on Ca2+ and was fastest when the ATP:Ca2+ ratio was 1:1. High substrate concentrations inhibited the hydrolysis. The addition of 1 mM Zn2+ and Ni2+ to the incubation medium markedly inhibited the hydrolysis as did, though less strongly, p-hydroxymercuribenzoate, oligomycin, EDTA and ruthenium red. l-Cysteine, mercaptoethanol, iodoacetic acid and sodium azide were without effect. F- was without effect unless added to a final concentration above 15 mM to media where Ca2+ had first been allowed to react with ATP.

The localization of alkaline phosphatases in dentinogenically active rat incisor odontoblasts was studied by means of subcellular fractionation and electron microscopical histochemistry. Subcellular fractionation revealed the predominant phosphatase activity to be present in the microsome fraction and to a lesser extent in the mitochondrial fraction. Adenosine triphosphate degrading enzyme activity was determined in the presence or absence of (+/-)-6(m-bromophenyl)-5, 6-dihydroimidazo(le) (2,1-b) thiazole oxalate (R 8231). Before the histochemical study, the effects on phosphatase activities by aldehyde fixation were studied by biochemical assay. A method of fixation for optimal preservation of phosphatase activity is presented. Phosphatase electron microscopic histochemistry was performed by using ATP as a substrate and with or without addition of the inhibitor R 82319 Precipitates were seen in the membranes of vesicles present in the odontoblast process and the Golgi region. When there were signs of insufficient fixation, precipitates were also seen in the outer membranes of mitochondria. No phosphatase activity was seen in the cell membrane. ATP degrading enzyme activities mediated by nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (APase) and Ca2+ -adenosine triphosphatase thus have the same morphological localization. This close association is consistent with earlier biochemical studies.
