Two dyneins have been isolated from axonemes of Chlamydomonas flagella by a three step procedure consisting of extraction in a high salt containing buffer, hydroxyapatite chromatography and sedimentation in sucrose gradient. A dynein with Mg+2- dependent ATPase activity 6.0 mumole Pi/min/mg, sedimenting at 12.5S was found associated with a polypeptide of molecular weight 310,000. A second dynein with specific activity of 3.7, sedimenting at 10-11S was found associated with a polypeptide of molecular weight 315,000. In their most purified forms, the two dyneins are complexed with nonstoichiometric amounts of four polypeptides ranging in molecular weight between 42,000 and 19,000. The 42,000 component has been identified previously as an actin-like protein. The high molecular weight subunits of both dyneins and two polypeptides of 28,000 and 19,000 molecular weight were found to be phosphorylated by in vivo pulse-labeling with 32P-phosphoric acid. All components of the 12.5S and 10-11S dynein complexes, with the exception of the 19,000 polypeptide, form a subset of polypeptides found to be deficient in pf-23, a chlamydomonas mutant, which is defective for inner arms.

The magnitude of the protonmotive force, and its division between pH gradient and membrane potential components has been further characterised in submitochondrial particles. In a reaction medium containing sucrose for osmotic support and 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonate (Hepes) as buffer, with succinate as substrate, the total protonmotive force reached a maximum value of 245 mV. The presence of Cl- enhanced the pH gradient with a partial but not fully compensating decrease in the membrane potential. When submitochondrial particles were suspended in a medium of low osmolarity consisting of phosphoric acid neutralised with Tris, again with succinate as substrate, the protonmotive force was lower and did not exceed 185 mV, and the pH gradient component was equivalent to 25 mV or less. The final phosphorylation potential, delta Gp, (formula: see text); maintained by the particles was higher in the phosphate/Tris medium (46--47.7 kJ mol-1) than in the sucrose/Hepes/KCl medium (43.7 kJ mol-1). Thus, comparison of the phosphorylation potential with the protonmotive force would suggest that the mechanistic stoichiometry H+/ATP (H+ translocated per molecule of ATP synthesied) for the ATPase enzyme is 3 in the former medium and 2 in the latter, which might be taken to indicate two different types of mechanism required for ATP synthesis. However it is questioned whether a comparison of the protonmotive force with delta Gp in terms of equilibrium thermodynamics ought not to be complemented by analysis in terms of linear non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The latter treatment shows that it is possible to estimate only a value for the product of a phenomenological stoichiometry and the degree of coupling, which can be variable, but not the mechanistic stoichiometry. This treatment can also rationalise the observation of the higher delta Gp in reaction conditions where the lower values for delta p are estimated. Irrespective of possible explanations, the data show how an unprejudiced choice of reaction conditions can lead to different conclusions about the relationship between the phosphorylation potential and the protonmotive force.

Phosphate (Pi) deprivation and IGFs stimulate renal Pi reabsorption. We studied the involvement of IGFs in the adaptation of Pi transport to Pi deprivation in MDCK cells. Deprivation of Pi for 15 h increased the steady-state content of IGF-II mRNA (77 +/- 12%) whereas IGF-I mRNA was not detectable in MDCK cells in either control or Pi-deprived cells. IGF-II (10(-7) M) and IGF-I (10(-8) M) stimulated the Na-dependent Pi uptake (1.23- and 1.3-fold increase at 15 h respectively). The effect of IGF-I appeared after 15 h and increased up to 40 h of treatment (2.15-fold increase). In contrast, Pi uptake was increased by Pi deprivation as early as 8 h (1.5-fold) and up to 40 h of Pi deprivation (1.9-fold increase). IGF-II mRNA was not increased before 15 h of Pi deprivation and returned to control at 40 h. The combination of IGF-I and Pi deprivation had a more than additive effect on Pi transport (fivefold increase) (P < 0.001). At variance with Pi deprivation, high concentrations of insulin stimulated Na-coupled alanine transport (6 +/- 2% and 16 +/- 4% in Pi-treated and Pi-depleted cells respectively). Pi deprivation and high concentrations of insulin decreased Na,K-ATPase activity (-48 and -64% respectively) and these effects were not additive.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Phosphate depletion (PD) in vivo causes a sundry of abnormalities in pancreatic islets including a rise in cytosolic calcium, low ATP content, reduced Ca2+ ATPase and Na(+)-K+ ATPase activity, and impaired insulin secretion in response to glucose or potassium. L-Leucine is a strong secretagogue that triggers insulin secretion by deamination to alpha-ketoisocaproic acid (KIC) and the subsequent metabolism of the latter to ATP and by the activation of glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH), which acts on glutamate to generate alpha-ketoglutarate, the metabolism of which results in ATP production. The generation of ATP triggers events that lead to insulin secretion. It is not known whether PD impairs leucine-induced insulin secretion, and the cellular derangements that are involved in such an abnormality are not defined. These issues were studied in PD rats and in pair-weighed normal animals as controls. D-Leucine uptake by islets from PD rats is normal, but both leucine- and KIC-induced insulin secretions are impaired and the activity of branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase, which facilitates the metabolism of KIC, is reduced. Both leucine and 2-aminobicyclo (2-2-1) haptene failed to stimulate GLDH and to augment the generation of alpha-ketoglutarate in the islets of PD rats. Also, the concentration of basal alpha-ketoglutarate was significantly higher in the islets of PD rats, suggesting that its metabolism is impaired. In addition, the activity of glutaminase is significantly reduced, an abnormality that would result in decreased production of glutamate, the substrate for GLDH. The data show that PD impairs leucine-induced insulin secretion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

To characterize the catalytic cycle involved in the initial rate of proton transport by the vacuolar ATPases (V-ATPase), we have analyzed and compared the catalytic parameters of V-ATPase-dependent proton transport in vesicles from chicken kidney or purified osteoclasts. The relationship of acidification to ATP obeyed simple Michaelis-Menten kinetics with a single Km for ATP of 62 microM in the kidney and 191 microM in the osteoclast. The activity was dependent on the presence of Mg2+, with a single Km of 258 microM MgCl2 in the kidney and 504 microM MgCl2 in the osteoclast. In both preparations, ADP competed with ATP and inhibited the proton transport (Ki = 37 microM in kidney and 17 microM in osteoclast). Phosphate was found to be a noncompetitive inhibitor of ATP, with a calculated Ki of about 10.5 and 5.5 mM, respectively. In both preparations, the catalytic mechanism determining the V-ATPase-mediated proton transport, fits the model of a "uni-bi-ordered release" mechanism. According to this model, ATP is the single substrate, and P(i) and ADP are the two products where phosphate, being noncompetitive, is released first and ADP, being competitive, second. The findings of an elevated Km for ATP and Mg2+ and a decrease in the Ki of ADP and phosphate in the osteoclast relative to the kidney preparation suggests that the V-ATPases present in these two tissues may differ.

The F-ATPase of chloroplasts couples proton flow to ATP synthesis, but is leaky to protons in the absence of nucleotides. This "proton slip" can be blocked by small concentrations of ADP or by inhibitors of the channel portion, CF0. We studied charge flow through the ATPase by flash spectrophotometry and analyzed the inhibition of proton slip by nucleotides, phosphate/arsenate, and insufficient proton motive force. The following inhibition constants (at given background concentrations) were observed: ADP, 0.2 microM (0.5 mM P(i)); ADP, 13.4 microM (no P(i)); P(i), 43 microM (1 microM ADP); GDP, 2.5 microM (0.5 mM P(i)); ATP, 2 microM. ADP and P(i) mutually lowered their respective inhibition constants. Phosphate could be replaced by arsenate. Proton slip occurred only if the proton motive force exceeded a certain threshold, similar to that for ATP synthesis. The inhibition of proton slip by ADP and GDP qualified the respective nucleotide binding sites as belonging to the subset of two (or three) potentially catalytic sites out of the total of six. We interpreted the ADP-induced transition between different conduction states of the ATPase from "slipping" to "closed" to "coupled" as a consequence of the alternating site mechanism of catalysis. Whereas the proton translocator idles in the absence of nucleotides, the high-affinity binding of the first ADP/P(i) couple to one site clutches proton flow to some (conformational) change that can only be executed after the binding of another ADP/P(i) couple to a second site. From there on these sites alternate in the catalytic cycle. An entropic machine is presented which likewise models proton slip, unisite, and multisite ATP synthesis and hydrolysis.

The Ca(2+)-ATPase from sarcoplasmic reticulum was transferred in an active form to a low-water system composed of toluene, phospholipids, and Triton X-100 (TPT). The Ca(2+)-ATPase activity in the TPT system with 4.0% water (by vol. was about 50% of the activity observed in all-aqueous mixtures. Phosphate formation was linear with time up to 20% of ATP hydrolysis and, as expected from an enzyme-catalysed reaction, activity was linear with protein concentration. No ATPase activity was detected in the presence of 3 mM EGTA, indicating that the enzyme retained its Ca2+ dependence in the TPT system. A hyperbolic response to ATP concentration was observed with a Km of 0.15 mM. There was no detectable ATPase activity at water concentrations below 1.5% (by vol.). With 2.0% water, activity became detectable and increased as the water content was progressively raised to 7.0% (by vol.). Higher amounts of water produced unstable emulsions. Enzyme phosphorylation by ATP and dephosphorylation took place in the TPT system. The velocities of both enzyme phosphorylation and dephosphorylation increased with increments in the water content. The enzyme could also be phosphorylated in the TPT system by inorganic phosphate. However, in comparison to ATP, phosphorylation by phosphate took place with significantly lower amounts of water. It is suggested that at low amounts of water, the enzyme is in a relatively rigid conformation and, as the water content is increased, the ATPase acquires more flexibility and, hence, the capacity to carry out catalysis at higher rates. Nevertheless, the release of conformational constraints of the catalytic site of the E2 conformer takes place at water concentrations much lower than those needed for the expression of catalytic activity by the E1 conformer.

Recent reports indicate that vacuolar-type proton ATPases from chicken osteoclasts (Chatterjee et al. (1992) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89, 6257-6261), yeast vacuoles and chromaffin granules (Beltran and Nelson (1992) Acta Physiol. Scand. Suppl. 607, 41-47) can be inhibited by vanadate, albeit at a concentration much higher than that required to inhibit P-type ATPases. We have characterized the mechanism by which vanadate inhibits vacuolar-type ATPase-mediated proton transport by chicken kidney microsomes. The initial rate of proton transport is somewhat less sensitive to vanadate than the total acidification, with IC50 values of 1.58 mM and 0.78 mM vanadate, respectively. The inhibition of both the initial rate and total acidification is noncompetitive with respect to ATP. The inhibition is abolished when ADP is removed by an ATP-regenerating system, and the addition of exogenous ADP increases the vanadate inhibition of proton transport in a synergistic manner, thus demonstrating that inhibition by vanadate is dependent on the presence of ADP and explaining the lower effect of vanadate on the initial rate of acidification. Phosphate protects proton transport activity from inhibition by vanadate. These effects of ADP and phosphate suggest that inhibition by vanadate may involve the formation of a complex with ADP at a nucleotide binding site, possibly at the catalytic site of the enzyme.

Phosphate depletion is associated with a rise in cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]i) of cells and such a derangement is responsible in major part for organ dysfunction in phosphate depletion (PD). Cardiac function is impaired in PD, and it is possible that PD is also associated with rise in [Ca2+]i of cardiac myocytes. The present study examined the effect of PD on [Ca2+]i of cardiac myocytes and explored the mechanisms that may lead to the rise in their [Ca2+]i. The [Ca2+]i of cardiac myocytes began to rise and ATP content began to fall at the third week of PD. After six weeks of PD, the values of [Ca2+]i were significantly higher (P < 0.01) and those of ATP content were significantly lower (P < 0.01) than in control (PW) rats. The Vmax of Ca2(+)-ATPase and Na+,K(+)-ATPase as well as the Na(+)-Ca2+ exchange were significantly lower (P < 0.01) in PD than in PW animals. The data of the present study are consistent with the notion that the rise in [Ca2+]i of cardiac myocytes of PD rats is due to a decrease in calcium efflux out of them.

To ensure optimal sensitivity for mechanoelectrical transduction, hair cells adapt to prolonged stimuli using active motors. Adaptation motors are thought to employ myosin molecules as their force-producing components. We find that beryllium fluoride, vanadate, and sulfate, phosphate analogs that inhibit the ATPase activity of myosin, inhibit adaptation by abolishing motor force production. Phosphate analogs interact with a 120-kDa bundle protein, most likely myosin 1 beta, in a manner that coincides with their effects on adaptation. Features of transduction following inhibition of motor force production suggest that the gating and extent springs of the hair cell orient in parallel at rest and that the negative limit of adaptation arises when force in the stretched extent spring matches the force output of the adaptation motor.
