The F0 portion of the rat liver mitochondrial ATP synthase (F0F1-ATPase) has been purified by a rapid, high yield procedure. F0 is selectively extracted from inner membrane vesicles with 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS) after prior treatment of the vesicles with guanidine HCl to remove F1. The resultant F0 is functional in proton translocation assays and separates in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis into four major and three minor Coomassie-stainable bands, all with apparent molecular masses below 30 kDa. This CHAPS-purified F0 preparation was characterized in detail for its capacity to interact with the unique probe diethylstilbestrol (DES) which, depending on conditions, has been shown to interact with rat liver F0F1 to either inhibit or promote ATP hydrolysis (McEnery, M. W., and Pedersen, P.L. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 1745-1752). DES-inhibitory sensitivity could be conferred on F1-ATPase activity with the same concentration dependence on F0 as conferral of oligomycin sensitivity. DES was shown also to inhibit the magnitude of valinomycin induced proton influx, while initiating proton efflux in asolectin vesicles reconstituted with F0 and loaded with K+. The potency of DES in producing the latter effects was shown to be highly dependent on hydroxyl groups in "para" positions of the two benzene rings within the DES molecule. Finally, in the absence of F0, DES was shown to act as a catalyst of proton influx in K+-loaded asolectin vesicles upon addition of valinomycin. A model based on the structure of DES is presented to account for both the inhibitory and uncoupling properties of this compound.

The mammalian parietal cell is dedicated to the secretion of HCl in response to various stimuli and second messengers. Oxidative metabolism in the cell increases about 10-fold in order to supply ATP to the gastric proton pump, the H+,K+-ATPase. This pump appears to be present only in the parietal cell. This membrane-embedded enzyme uses the scalar energy of ATP hydrolysis to carry out the vectorial transport of H+ in one direction in exchange for K+ in the other direction. In the cytoplasmic vesicle, K+ does not permeate the membrane, whereas in the secretory canaliculus, there is a Cl- channel and a KCl cotransport pathway which allow K+ and Cl- to exit from the cell. The K+ is then recycled back into the cell by the ATPase, and H+ secretion occurs into the canalicular space. Although there are other proton pumps, only the gastric H+,K+-ATPase has this exchange mechanism and only the gastric H+,K+-ATPase is able to generate a pH of less than 4. Thus the gastric proton pump has a unique structure and mechanism, and produces a unique luminal pH. This enzyme is therefore an appropriate target for rational drug design.

There are two means of reducing acid secretion. The best studied is inhibition of stimulation of the parietal cell. There are three major types of receptors that activate secretion by this cell and two classes of receptor antagonists, as well as at least two intracellular messenger pathways. The receptors are for histamine (H2 subtype), acetyl choline (M2 subtype) and gastrin. Antagonists of these receptors include the H2-antagonist class (Tagamet, Zantac and Pepcid), the M1 muscarinic antagonists (pirenzepine, telenzepine) and the gastrin antagonist, proglumide. The major pathway for stimulation appears to be the H2-receptor, since this is the only receptor that stimulates adenylate cyclase, and both acetyl choline and gastrin release histamine locally within the gastric mucosa. However, these agonists elevate intracellular calcium, which has a partially independent action on acid secretion. Accordingly, the most efficacious type of receptor antagonist will be of the H2 class, which is borne out by clinical experience. Prostaglandins of the E type prevent adenylate cyclase stimulation by histamine and are also effective antisecretory agents. It will be difficult to abolish acid secretion entirely by a single receptor antagonist, although longer-acting H2-antagonists should show clinical superiority to short-acting antagonists of this type. An alternative approach to acid suppression is to block the terminal step of acid secretion, the gastric proton pump (H+, K(+)-ATPase). This enzyme is virtually unique to the parietal cell and, when active, forms a very acidic space within the parietal cell called the secretory canaliculus. Activation of acid secretion involves several steps. The enzyme is present in cytosolic membranes when the cell is at rest and moves to the membrane of the secretory canaliculus when stimulated. Simultaneously, there is an increased permeability of potassium chloride (KCl), which allows presentation of K+ to the luminal surface of the pump and H+ for K+ exchange. The result is the secretion of HCl into the canaliculus, and hence into the gland lumen and then the stomach. There are two classes of pump inhibitors. One class is K+ competitive and relatively selective for the H+, K(+)-ATPase, as exemplified by SCH28080. This class has not yet been used in man. The other class is specific to the functioning H+, K(+)-ATPase in the stomach. It is exemplified by omeprazole (Losec). This compound is a weak base with a pKa of 4. In the unprotonated, uncharged form it will penetrate cell membranes and, at pH less than 4, it becomes protonated and therefore charged.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The ototoxicity of an otic drop preparation containing 2% acetic acid and 3% propylene glycol (VoSol, Denver Chemical Co., Humacao, PR) was investigated according to measurements of endocochlear potential (EP) and inner ear fluid pH. The application of this preparation to the round window membrane for 30 minutes caused a depression in EP from 80.5 +/- 2.5 mV (mean +/- SD; n = 6) to 11.7 +/- 7.7 mV, and lowered inner ear fluid pH from 7.55 +/- 0.09 to 5.06 +/- 0.19 (n = 6) in perilymph and from 7.52 +/- 0.07 to 5.88 +/- 0.63 (n = 6) in endolymph. Two percent acetic acid produced similar changes after 30 minutes: EP was reduced from 83.0 +/- 2.2 mV to 34.0 +/- 2.9 mV and endolymphatic pH from 7.49 +/- 0.04 to 6.83 +/- 0.21 (n = 4). However, the application of artificial perilymph of pH 4 titrated with HCl induced no significant changes in either EP or endolymphatic pH. We suggest that the mechanisms of ototoxicity in the otic drop preparation are Na+ and K+-ATPase inhibition, and that such inhibition is due to the intracellular acidification of strial cells resulting from the penetration of acetic acid across the cell membrane, and to the direct and synergistic actions of propylene glycol.

This paper describes properties of a simple manual assay for Rb+ occlusion on renal (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. Rb+ occlusion is measured by applying the enzyme plus Rb+ (86Rb) mixture to a Dowex-50 cation exchange column at 0 degree C, and eluting the enzyme with occluded Rb+ using an ice-cold sucrose solution. The enzyme-Rb+ complex is quite stable at 0 degree C. This method is useful for measuring Rb+ occlusion under equilibrium binding conditions and slow rates of dissociation of the enzyme-Rb+ complex. The stoichiometry of Rb+ occluded per phosphorylation site is 2. Rb+ saturation curves are strictly hyperbolic, suggesting that the two Rb+ sites have very different affinities, one in the micromolar range and one in the tens of millimolar range. ATP shifts the Rb+ saturation curves to the right (control K0.5 100-200 microM; plus ATP, K0.5 0.8-1.4 mM, in a 100 mM Tris-HCl medium, pH 7.0) and reduces the maximal level occluded (control approx. 4 nmol/mg; plus ATP approx. 3 nmol/mg protein). Thus, as expected, ATP shifts the E(1)2Rb+-E2(2Rb+)occ equilibrium towards E1. Sodium ions at concentrations of up to 30 mM compete with the rubidium ions, KNa = 1.86 mM in the Tris-HCl medium. Na+ at higher concentrations (30-100 mM) has an added non-competitive antagonistic effect. At room temperature, Rb+ dissociates slowly from the enzyme, kobs = 0.08 s-1, in the presence of either Rb+ (20 mM) or Na, (100 mM). As expected, dissociation is greatly accelerated by ATP, the rate being to fast to be measured by this technique. (Na+ + K+)-ATPase proteolyzed selectively by chymotrypsin in a Na+ medium, occludes Rb+. For control and proteolyzed (Na+ + K+)-ATPase the Rb+ saturation curves are similar and the rates of dissociation of the enzyme-Rb+ complex are identical. The chymotryptic split appears to disrupt antagonistic interactions between cation and ATP binding domains, while the E1-E2 conformational transition of the unphosphorylated protein probably remains.

Vertebrate oxyntic cells, responsible for gastric HCl production, undergo a remarkable morphological reorganization in relation to their secretory cycle. In resting state, the luminal surface of the cells is smooth; a peculiar system of endocellular membranes, the tubular system, occupies the luminal cytoplasm. Actin filaments frame a cortical network between the tubular system and the luminal plasma membrane. With the onset of HCl secretion, the tubular system becomes incorporated into the luminal plasma membrane. Villous processes containing microfilaments fill the secretory surface. This morphological reorganization of membranes and cytoskeletal matrix could regulate HCl secretion by translocation of membranes containing the proton pump from the endocellular compartment to the secretory surface. In this paper, we describe the isolation of membranes that selectively belong to the tubular system or to the cytoplasmic processes of the secretory surface of chicken oxyntic cells. Chicken oxyntic cells are the main cellular component of the proventricular glands. A resting state was obtained after cimetidine treatment, whereas the HCl-secretory state was induced by histamine. We present a comparative analysis of resting and stimulated chicken gastric glands by quantitative subcellular fractionation. The HCl secretory state was related to specific modifications in membrane fractions derived from the secretory pole of oxyntic cells. Morphological and functional reorganization of oxyntic cells was closely correlated with changes in: the sedimentation pattern of the marker enzyme of the apical pole membrane (K-NPPase), the total activity of K-NPPase and nonmitochondrial Mg-ATPase, the valinomycin dependence of K-ATPase, and polypeptides that cosediment in purified membrane fractions. Changes in the distribution pattern of K-NPPase after fractionation of histamine-stimulated glands were consistent with the replacement of the small vesicles typical of resting glands by dense membrane profiles, analogous to the luminal processes of stimulated oxyntic cells. SDS-PAGE showed that, in purified membrane fractions of stimulated glands, the concentration of 28-, 43-, and 200-kD polypeptides increased while that of 95- and 250-kD polypeptides decreased. The present results define the tubular system of oxyntic cells as an organelle with properties different from those of endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and plasma membrane. The biochemical and physico-chemical properties of this membraneous system changed when the organization of the membranes and the cytoskeletal matrix of the apical pole was modified by the onset of HCl secretion.

Immunoassays of dnaA protein in extracts from five strains showed a rather constant abundance relative to cell mass, with a variation of 800-2100 molecules/cell; overproducing cells contained 100-fold that number. About half of the dnaA protein in wild type cells was solubilized by a lysis procedure. Within the insoluble fractions, dnaA protein was identified by its characteristic high-affinity binding of ATP. An improved, rapid procedure for purifying dnaA protein from overproducing cells appears to depend on its coprecipitation with phospholipids and depends on solubilization by guanidine HCl. The procedure, with a 5-fold increased yield, also eliminates a potent ATPase contaminant. Purified dnaA protein, unlike dnaB and dnaC proteins, binds to phospholipid vesicles as judged by analysis on sucrose gradient centrifugation.

In order to identify a specific endogenous Na+,K+-ATPase inhibitor which could possibly be related to salt-dependent hypertension, we looked for substances in the methanol extract of bovine whole adrenal which show all of the following properties: (i) inhibitory activity for Na+,K+-ATPase; (ii) competitive displacing activity against [3H]ouabain binding to the enzyme; (iii) inhibitory activity for 86Rb uptake into intact human erythrocytes; and (iv) cross-reactivity with sheep anti-digoxin-specific antibody. After stepwise fractionation of the methanol extract of bovine adrenal glands by chromatography on a C18 open column, a 0-15% acetonitrile fraction was fractionated by high-performance liquid chromatography on a Zorbax octadecylsilane column. One of the most active fractions in 0-15% acetonitrile was found to exhibit all of the four types of the activities. It was soluble in water and was distinct from various substances which have been known to inhibit Na+,K+-ATPase such as unsaturated free fatty acids, lysophosphatidylcholines, vanadate, dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acid, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, dopamine, lignan, ascorbic acid, etc. This substance was further purified by using an additional five steps of high-performance liquid chromatography with five different types of columns. Molecular mass was estimated as below 350 by fast atom bombardment mass spectroscopy and ultrafiltration. Heat treatment at 250 degrees C for 2 h and acid treatment with 6 N HCl at 115 degrees C for 21 h almost completely destroyed the inhibitory activity of the purified substance for Na+ pump activity. Additionally, alkaline treatment with 0.2 N NaOH at 23 degrees C for 2 h destroyed approximately 70% of the inhibitory activity, whereas boiling for 10 min and various enzyme digestion did not destroy the activity. The dose dependency for the four types of the activities for this substance paralleled those of ouabain, spanning 2 orders of magnitude in concentration range. The inhibitory potencies of the purified substance for Na+,K+-ATPase, Na+ pump, and ouabain binding activities were diminished with increasing K+ concentration, exhibiting a characteristic typical of cardiac glycosides. This substance had no effect on the Ca2+-ATPase activity or the Ca2+ loading rate into the vesicle prepared from skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum. These results strongly suggest that this water-soluble nonpeptidic Na+,K+-ATPase inhibitor may be a specific endogenous regulator for the ATPase.

The reported effects of norepinephrine (NE) on brain Na+-K+ ATPase are quite variable. Different investigators have reported activation, inhibition, or no effect. An investigation of the importance of reaction conditions on brain Na+-K+ ATPase activity was undertaken to resolve some of these discrepancies. Using porcine cerebral cortical Na+-K+ ATPase and rat brain synaptosomal membrane preparations, it was observed that NE strongly inhibited brain Na+-K+ ATPase in Tris-HCl buffer. This inhibition of the enzyme was reversed by the addition of EDTA. In contrast, NE did not significantly inhibit Na+-K+ ATPase in imidazole-glycylglycine and Krebs-Ringer-phosphate buffers. This buffer dependence of NE inhibition of the enzyme was consistently demonstrated with three different established methods for phosphate measurement. Kinetic analysis indicated that NE, in Tris-HCl buffer, inhibited the enzyme noncompetitively at high affinity, and competitively at low affinity, ATP substrate sites.

This study was designed to determine the effect of a newly synthesized benzimidazole derivative NC-1300-B on H+, K+-ATPase (proton pump) in the hog gastric mucosa and on the basal gastric acid secretion and necrotizing agent-induced gastric lesions in rats. NC-1300-B inhibited the proton pump in a concentration-dependent manner and concentrations which inhibited the enzyme activity by 50% were 4.4 x 10(-6) M at pH 6.0 and 3.1 x 10(-5) M at pH 7.4. NC-1300-B administered orally or intraperitoneally 0.5 hr before ligating the pylorus inhibited the gastric acid secretion in a dose-dependent manner. The ED50 values (doses which inhibit acid output or lesion formation by 50%) for acid secretion were 11.5 and 11.0 mg/kg with oral and intraperitoneal administration, respectively. The antisecretory effect in a dose of 100 mg/kg persisted for up to 72 hr. NC-1300-B administered orally or intraperitoneally 0.5 hr before HCl.ethanol administration protected against damage of the gastric mucosa in a dose-dependent manner. The ED50 values for lesion formation were 13.3 and 23.0 mg/kg with oral and intraperitoneal administration, respectively. This protection with an oral dose of 100 mg/kg persisted for up to 72 hr. While pretreatment with 5 mg/kg of indomethacin given subcutaneously did not appreciably reverse the NC-1300-B protection, the pretreatment with 10 mg/kg of N-ethylmaleimide given subcutaneously potently reversed the NC-1300-B protection. NC-1300-B administered intragastrically at 30 mg/kg significantly inhibited the amplitude of gastric contraction for 50 min after intragastric administration. These effects of NC-1300-B on gastric secretion and lesion formation are much the same as those of the established proton pump inhibitor omeprazole, except for the short duration of the action of omeprazole (less than 24 hr).
