Incubations of fresh preparations of fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum (FSR) were carried out at pH 5.7. This pH was necessary for hydrolysis of phospholipids by phospholipase D. The pH did not influence calcium uptake or the activity of calcium-stimulated ATPase of FSR. Treatment of FSR with phospholipase D caused hydrolysis of the membrane phospholipids. The phosphatidic acid produced remained bound to the membrane. Increasing phospholipid cleavage was paralleled by loss of calcium uptake, which was complete when about two-thirds of the membrane phospholipids were hydrolyzed.

1. ATPase isolated from Rhodospirillum rubrum by chloroform extraction and purified by gel filtration or affinity chromatography shows three bands (alpha, beta and gamma) upon electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulphate. 2. Ca2+-ATPase activity of the preparation is inhibited by aurovertin and efrapeptin but not by oligomycin. Activity may be inhibited by treatment with 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan and subsequently restored by dithiothreitol. 3. The enzyme fails to reconstitute photophosphorylation in chromatophores depleted of ATPase by sonic irradiation. 4. Most of the active protein from the crude chloroform extract binds to an affinity chromatography column bearing an immobilised ADP analogue but not to a column bearing immobilised pyrophosphate. 5. In the absence of divalent cations, a component with a very high specific activity for Ca2+-ATPase is eluted from the column by 1.6 mM ATP. This protein migrates asa single band on 5% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and only possesses three subunits. At 12 mM ATP an inactive protein is eluted which does not run on acid or alkali polyacrylamide gels and shows a complex subunit structure. 6. ATPase preparations prepared by acetone extraction or by sonic irradiation of chromatophores may also be purified 10-fold by affinity chromatography. 7. The inclusion of 5 mM MgCl2 or CaCl2 during affinity chromatography of chloroform ATPase increases the capacity of the column for the enzyme and demands a higher eluting concentration of ATP. 8. When the enzyme is more than 90% inhibited by efrapeptin or 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan, the binding characteristics of the enzyme are not affected. 9. 10 mM Na2SO3, which greatly stimulates the Ca2+- and Mg2+-dependent ATPase activity of the enzyme and increases Ki (ADP) for Ca2+-ATPase from 50 to 850 micron, prevents binding to the affinity column. Binding may be restored by the addition of divalent cations. 10. Na2SO3 increases the rate of ATP hydrolysis, ATP-driven H+ translocation and ATP-driven transhydrogenase in chromatophores. 11. It is proposed that anions such as sulphite convert the chromatophore ATPase into a form which is a more efficient energy transducer.

ATPase was detected in the membranes of a motile Streptococcus. Maximal enzymic activity was observed at pH 8 and ATP/Mg2+ ratio of 2. Mn2+ and Ca2+ could replace Mg2+ to some extent. Besides ATP, GTP and ITP were substrates. The enzyme was inhibited by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide but not by sodium azide, uncouplers or bathophenanthroline. An electrochemical gradient of protons, which was artificially imposed across the membranes of Streptococcus cells by manipulation of either the K+ diffusion potential or the transmembrane pH gradient, led to ATP synthesis. ATP synthesis was abolished by proton conductors, an inhibitor of the ATPase or an increase in the extracellular K+ concentration. A comparison between the phosphate potential and the electrochemical proton gradient showed that the data found are in agreement with a stoichiometry of 2 protons translocated per molecule ATP synthesized.

The membrane-bound adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity of Acholeplasma laidlawii B differs in many respects from the common (Mg2+, Ca2+)-ATPase activity of higher bacteria, most notably in that it is specifically activated by Mg2+ and strongly and specifically stimulated by Na+ (or Li+). Various inhibitors diminish the ATPase activity with a concentration dependence which suggests that a single enzyme species is responsible for all of the observed ATP hydrolytic activity (both basal and Na+ stimulated). The Km for ATP is influenced by temperature but not by membrane lipid fatty acid composition. Vmax is influenced by both of these factors, showing a break in Arrhenius plots which falls below the lipid phase transition midpoint but well above the lower boundary when a phase transition occurs within the temperature range studied. The apparent energy of activation for Vmax is strongly influenced by lipid fatty acid composition both above and below the break. When whole cells of A. laidlawii B are incubated in KCl or NaCl buffers, they rapidly swell and lyse if deprived of an energy source or treated with ATPase inhibitors at concentrations which significantly inhibit enzyme activity in isolated membranes, whereas in sucrose or MgSO4 buffers of equal osmolarity, the cells are stable under these conditions. These results suggest that the membrane ATPase of A. laidlawii B is intimately associated with the membrane lipids and that it functions as a monovalent cation pump which regulates intracellular osmolarity as the (Na+, K+)-ATPase does in eucaryotes.

The activity of ATPase was studied in highly purified rat liver and thymus cell nuclei, HCO3-, CO3(2-) and SO3(2-) stimulated nuclear ATPase in 1.5--2 times. HSO3- did not affect the enzyme activity, and NO3-, J-, ClO4-,F- and SCN- inhibited it. Bicarbonate increased V and decreased Ka for ATP. SCN- inhibited HCO3--ATPase activity non-competitively with respect to HCO3-. Mg2+-ATPase activity did not depend on pH, and HCO3-component of the activity was decreased under alkaline pH. Mg2+, Mn2+ and Co2+ increased the initial ATPase activity and helped its stimulation with HCO3-. Ba2+, Ni2+ and Zn2+ inhibited the ATPase activity, and Ca2+ did not affect it, Nuclear ATPase is sensitive to 2,4-dinitrophenol and DNAase. It is suggested that cell nuclei have their own H+-ATPase differing for some characteristics from mitochondrial H+-ATPase.

Phosphorylation of the calcium-transport ATPase of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum by inorganic phosphate was investigated in the presence or absence of a calcium gradient. The maximum phosphoprotein formation in the presence of a calcium gradient at 20 degrees C and pH 7.0 is approximately 4 nmol/mg sarcoplasmic reticulum protein, but only between 2.4 and 2.8 nmol/mg protein in the absence of a calcium gradient, using Ionophore X-537 A or phospholipase-A-treated sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles. Maximum phosphoprotein formation independent of calcium gradient at 20 degrees C and pH 6.2 is in the range of 3.6--4 nmol/mg protein. Half-maximum phosphoprotein formation dependent on calcium gradient was achieved with 0.1--0.2 mM free orthophosphate at 10 mM free magnesium or at 0.1--0.2 mM free magnesium at 10 mM free orthophosphate. Phosphoprotein formation independent of calcium gradient is in accordance with a model which assumes, firstly, the formation of a ternary complex of the ATPase protein with orthophosphate and magnesium (E . Pi . Mg) in equilibrium with the phosphoprotein (E-Pi . Mg) and, secondly, an interdependence of both ions in the formation of the ternary complex. The apparent equilibrium constant was 0.6 and the apparent dissociation constants KMg, KMg', KPi and KPi' were 8.8, 1.9, 7.2 and 1.5 mM respectively, assuming a total concentration of the phosphorylation site per enzyme of 7 nmol/mg protein.

Pellicles were isolated from Paramecium caudatum for a study of the properties of its insoluble ATPase [EC 3.6.1.3] activity. Pellicular ATPase was solubilized by sonication and fractionated by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The sedimentation coefficient of the ATPase was about 9S. The ATPase required Ca2+ for maximum activation. Addition of neutral salts to the assay medium inhibited the activity. Substrate specificity for ATP was low; other nucleoside triphosphates were hydrolyzed at about the same rate as ATP; AMP, pyrophosphate, and p-nitrophenyl phosphate were not hydrolyzed. The ATPase activity of the pellicle preparation had a pH optimum at pH 6.5, and a Michaelis constant of 9 micrometer. On the other hand, the enzymatic properties of the ATPase were somewhat modified by the procedure of solubilization and fractionation. The pellicular ATPase does not resemble ciliary dynein ATPase or the soluble ATPase of Tetrahymena.

Anoxia has been compared with ischaemia. The abrupt restoration of either oxygen of flow may accelerate cardiac damage. Anoxic stimulation of glycolysis (Pasteur effect) is inhibited during ischaemia by lactate and proton accumulation at the levels of phosphofructokinase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Anaerobic glycolysis provides lactate and ATP; breakdown of the latter provides protons. During partial respiration thought to occur in partial ischaemia, continued production of CO2 is a factor contributing to intracellular acidosis; mitochondrial ATP when formed by continued respiration also yields protons when ultimately broken down. The endoproducts of aerobic glycolysis (pyruvate and NADH) are transported into the mitochondria by the malate-aspartate cycle and by pyruvate dehydrogenase activity. Adenine nucleotide transferase activity normally transfers the mitochondrially-made ATP to the cytoplasm, but acyl CoA accumulates in ischaemia (or during perfusions with high circulating free fatty acids) to inhibit the transferase. The mitochondrial creatine kinase is thought to transform ATP transported outwards into creatine phosphate which can permeate the outer mitochondrial membrane. Further compartmentation of ATP may be by other creatine kinase isoenzymes or in relation to the cell membrane. The glycogenolytic-sarcoplasmic reticulum complex links a glycogen pool to the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Cyclic AMP may regulate admission of calcium to the cell during the plateau of the action potential and promote calcium uptake by the sarcoplasmic reticulum by phosphorylation of phospholamban. The latter promotes the activity of the calcium-transport ATPase. Calcium and cyclic AMP may also interact at the level of the contractile proteins where cyclic AMP phosphrylates troponin. Cyclic GMP generally has opposite effects to cyclic AMP and undergoes opposite changes in the frog cardiac cycle to those of cyclic AMP. A present it is reasonable to suppose that physiological effects of adrenaline or of cholinergic agents on the myocardium are mediated by cyclic AMP or cyclic GMP, respectively, but this hypothesis still lacks firm support. There is an association between tissue cyclic AMP and ventricular fibrillation after coronary ligation, and direct evidence for a role of cyclic AMP in promoting arrhythmias has been obtained by studies on the ventricular fibrillation threshold in the rat heart. However, there are other mechanisms, involving first the effects of substrates on the action potential duration, and secondly, the fast channel, which can also give rise to the development of malignant arrhythmias.

The rate of enzymic reaction of ATP, ITP, GTP with myosin is studied in the presence of potassiu, ammonium and calcium ions in H2O--D2O solutions. There is no kinetic isotope effect of ITPase and GTPase reaction in the neutral pH region (VHVD = 1). The value VH/VD for the ATPase reaction in the pH range from 6.5 to 8.5 with all cations studied varies from 1.05 to 1.26. Such changes of myosin enzymic activity in D2O infer that small changes in the interaction of subunits is not the decisive one in the regulation of myosin ATPase. The equality of isotope effects in potassium salts and ammonium solution suggests that a specific effect of ammonium ion as a proton donor affects the ATPase reaction of myosin. The relationship between the value of isotope effect and D2O concentration in solution in non-linear. The shape of concentration curve suggests essential conformational changes of myosin during ATP hydrolysis.

Using glutaric dialdehyde, the muscle proteins myosin, actin, actomyosin and heavy meromyosin subfragment-1 (S-1) have been immobilized on capron fibers. The ATPase activity of myosin and its capability to interact with actin have been preserved whereas the ATPase activity of its subfragment decreased significnatly. Immobilization on capron fibers changes the pH dependence of the ATPase activity of myosin and of S-1 shifting the maximum towards the acid zone (pH 5.5) and increases the thermal stability of the enzyme. Calcium ions produce a stimulatory effect on ATPase; Mg2+ions yield no effect on myosin and S-1 but enhance the activity in the case of immobilized actomyosin though to a lesser degree than the ions of Ca2+. Immobilized actin retains its ability to form actomyosin complex.
