The mechanism of biosynthetic, transferase, ATPase, and transphosphorylation reactions catalyzed by unadenylylated glutamine synthetase from E. coli was studied. Activation complex(es) involved in the biosynthetic reaction are produced in the presence of either Mg2+ or Mn2+ ; however, with the Mn2+-enzyme inhibition by the product, ADP, is so great that the overall forward biosynthetic reaction cannot be detected with the known assay methods. Binding studies show that substrates (except for NH3 and NH2OH which are not reported here) can bind to the enzyme in a random manner and that binding of the ATP-glutamate, ADP-Pi or ADP-arsenate pairs is strongly synergistic. Inhibition and binding studies show that the same binding site is utilized for glutamate and glutamine in biosynthetic and transferase reactions, respectively, and that a common nucleotide binding site is used for all reactions studied. Studies of the reverse biosynthetic reaction and results of fluorescent titration experiments suggest that both arsenate and orthophosphate bind at a site which overlaps the gamma-phosphate site of nucleoside triphosphate. In the reverse biosynthetic and transferase reactions, ATP serves as a substrate for the Mn2+-enzyme but not for the Mg2+-enzyme. The ATP supported transferase activity of Mn2+-enzyme is probably facilitated by the generation of ADP through ATP hydrolysis. When AMP was the only nucleotide substrate added, it was converted to ATP with concomitant formation of two equivalents of glutamate, under the reverse biosynthetic reaction conditions, and no ADP was detected. The reversibility of 180 transfer between orthophosphate and gamma-acyl group of glutamate was confirmed. ATPase activity of Mg2+ and Mn2+ unadenylylated enzymes is about the same. Both enzymes forms catalyze transphosphorylation reactions between various purine nucleoside triphosphates and nucleoside diphosphates under biosynthetic reaction conditions. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that a single active center is utilized for all reactions studied. Two stepwise mecanisms that could explain the results are discussed.

Ureaplasma urealyticum cells were lysed by osmotic shock or by digitonin. The membrane fraction contained four to ten times as much protein as the cytoplasmic fraction. These values are in large excess of those reported for classical mycoplasmas, suggesting that the Ureaplasma membrane fraction was heavily contaminated with proteins derived from the growth medium. The U. urealyticum urease activity was localized in the cytoplasmic fraction, whereas the adenosine triphosphatase activity was localized in the membrane fraction. Significant urease activity could be detected also in nonviable cells. Urea, at concentrations above 0.25 M, was mycoplasmastatic to Acholeplasma laidlawii, Mycoplasma hominis, and U. urealyticum, so that the Ureaplasma urease did not afford preferential protection against urea toxicity. The intracellular localization of the urease would be expected to release ammonia from urea in the cytoplasm. The ammonia will take up protons to become ammonium ions. It can be hypothesized that the intracellular NH4+ plays a role in proton elimination or acid-base balance, which might be coupled to an energy producing ion gradient and/or transport mechanisms.

Chronic ammonia toxicity in experimental mice was induced by exposing them for 2 and 5 days to 5 % (v/v) ammonia solution. The enzymes concerned with glutamate metabolism (aspartate-, alanine- and tyrosine aminotransferases, glutamate dehydrogenase and glutamine synthetase) and (Na+ + K+)-ATPase were estimated in the three regions of brain (cerebellum, cerebral cortex and brain stem) and in liver. Glutamate, aspartate, alanine, glutamine and GABA, RNA and protein were also estimated in the three regions of brain and liver. A significant rise in the activity of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase in all the three regions of brain along with a fall in the activity of alanine aminotransferase was noticed. Changes in the activities of other enzymes were also observed. A significant increase in alanine and a decrease in glutamic acid was observed while no change was observed in the content of other amino acids belonging to the glutamate family. As a result of this, changes in the ratios of glutamate/glutamine and glutamate + aspartate/GABA was observed. The results indicated that the brain was in a state of more depression and less of excitation. Under these conditions the liver tissue was showing a profound rise in the activity of the enzymes of glutamate metabolism. The results are further discussed.

The activities of renal lactate and malate dehydrogenases, glutaminase, and Na-K-ATPase were determined in aging male C57BL/6 mice. Urine concentrating ability in these mice and renal response to metabolic acidosis were also studied. Total enzyme activities were measured in vitro in tissue homogenates from mice that were 120, 400, 500, 600, 700, and 800 days old. Urine concentrating ability was determined in these mice prior to sacrifice. Lactate and malate dehydrogenase activities decreased between 120 and 700 days with only male dehydrogenase activity increasing between 700 and 800 days. Age did not affect glutaminase or Na-K-ATPase activities and urine concentrating ability was decreased only at 700 days. Both urine ammonia excretion and renal glutaminase activity increased at 120 and 600 days in response to metabolic acidosis. However, only 5 of 12 animals tested at 600 days survived the acid stress for a full 7 days.

The enzymatic properties of membrane-bound Na+ + K+-ATPase from gills of killifish acclimated to fresh water, to 16% sea water, or to 30% sea water appear to be identical, indicating that the same enzyme may function to absorb Na+ in low salinities and excrete Na+ at the gills in high salinities. Ammonium ion is an effective substitute for K+: in the ATPase reaction itself, in blocking phosphorylation of the ATPase protein, and in inhibiting the binding of ouabain to the enzyme. The specific activities of the Na+ + K+-ATPase in the three different salinities are consistent with the expected Na+ pumping rates: higher in fresh water and 30% sea water than in 16% sea water. Within one-half hour after transfer of killifish from one salinity to another, gill Na+ + K+-ATPase activities reach equilibrium levels. The rapid increase in Na+ + K+-ATPase activity in gill microsomes of fish acclimating from fresh water to 30% sea water is accompanied by a slow decrease in the number of binding sites for ouabain, supporting the idea that acclimation to short-term salinity changes may involve modifications in the catalytic rate rather than the number of Na+ + K+-ATPase molecules.

The capacity of various ATPase preparations from beef heart mitochondria to catalyze exchange of phosphate oxygens with water has been evaluated. Oligomycin-sensitive ATPase preparations retain a capacity for considerable intermediate Pi equilibrium HOH exchange per Pi formed during ATP hydrolysis at relatively high ATP concentration (5 mM). Submitochondrial particles prepared by an ammonia-Sephadex procedure with 5 mM ATP showed more rapid ATPase, less oligomycin sensitivity, and less capacity for intermediate exchange. With these particles, intermediate Pi equilibrium HOH exchange per Pi formed was increased as ATP concentration was decreased. The purified, soluble ATPase from mitochondria catalyzed little or no intermediate Pi equilibrium HOH exchange at 5 mM ATP but showed pronounced increase in capacity for such exchange as ATP concentration was lowered. The ATPase also showed a weak catalysis of an ADP-stimulated medium Pi equilibrium HOH exchange. The results support the alternating catalytic site model for ATP synthesis or cleavage. They also demonstrate that a transmembrane protonmotive force is not necessary for oxygen exchange reactions. At lower ATP concentrations, ADP and Pi formed at a catalytic site appear to remain bound and continue to allow exchange of Pi oxygens until ATP binds at another site on the enzyme.

1. F1-ATPase has been extracted by the diphosphatidylglycerol procedure from mitochondrial ATPase complexes that differ in ATPase activity, cold stability, ATPase inhibitor and magnesium content. 2. The ATPase activity of the isolated enzymes was dependent upon the activity of the original particles. In this respect, F1-ATPase extracted from submitochondrial particles prepared in ammonia (pH 9.2) and filtered through Sephadex G-50 was comparable to the enzyme purified by conventional procedures (Horstman, L.L. and Racker, E. (1970) J. Biol. Chem. 245, 1336--1344), whereas F1-ATPase extracted from submitochondrial particles prepared in the presence of magnesium and ATP at neutral pH was similar to factor A (Andreoli, T.E., Lam, K.W. and Sanadi, D.R. (1965) J. Biol. Chem. 240, 2644--2653). 3. No systematic relationship has been found in these F1-ATPase preparations between their ATPase inhibitor content and ATPase activity. Rather, a relationship has been observed between this activity and the efficiency of the ATPase inhibitor-F1-ATPase association within the membrane. 4. It is concluded that the ATPase activity of isolated F1-ATPase reflects the properties of original ATPase complex provided a rapid and not denaturing procedure of isolation is employed.

This paper demonstrates, by pulse-chase techniques, the binding to rat liver mitochondrial carbamoyl phosphate synthetase of the ATP molecule (ATPB) which transfers its gamma-phosphoryl group to carbamoyl phosphate. This bound APTB can react with NH3, HCO-3 and ATP (see below) to produce carbamoyl phosphate before it exchanges with free ATP. Mg2+ and N-acetylglutamate, but not NH3 or HCO-3, are required for this binding; the amount bound depends on the concentration of ATP (Kapp = 10--30 microns ATP) and the amount of enzyme. At saturation at least one ATPB molecule binds per enzyme dimer. Binding of ATPB follows a slow exponential time course (t1/2 8--16 s, 22 degrees C), independent of ATP concentration and little affected by NH3, NCO-3 or by incubation of the enzyme with unlabelled ATP prior to the pulse of [gamma-32P]ATP. Formation of carbamoyl phosphate from traces of NH3 and HCO-3 when the enzyme is incubated with ATP follows the kinetics expected if it were generated from the bound ATPB, indicating that the latter is a precursor of carbamoyl phosphate ('Cbm-P precursor') in the normal enzyme reaction. This indicates that the site for ATPB is usually inaccessible to ATP in solution but becomes accessible when the enzyme undergoes a periodical conformational change. Bound ATP becomes Cbm-P precursor when the enzyme reverts to the inaccessible conformation. Pulse-chase experiments in the absence of NH3 and HCO-3 (less than 0.2 mM) also demonstrate binding of ATPA (the molecule which yields Pi in the normal enzyme reaction), as shown by a 'burst' in 32Pi production. Therefore, (in accordance with our previous findings) both ATPA and ATPB can bind simultaneously to the enzyme and react with NH3 and HCO-3 in the chase solution before they can exchange with free ATP. However, at low ATP concentration (18 micron) in the pulse incubation, only ATPB binds since ATP is required in the chase (see above). Despite the presence of two ATP binding sites, the bifunctional inhibitor adenosine(5')pentaphospho(5')adenosine(Ap5A) fails to inhibit the enzyme significantly. A more detailed modification of the scheme previously published [Rubio, V. & Grisolia, S. (1977) Biochemistry, 16, 321--329] is proposed; it is suggested that ATPB gains access to the active centre when the products leave the enzyme and the active centre is in an accessible configuration. The transformation from accessible to inaccessible configuration appears to be part of the normal enzyme reaction and may represent to conformational change postulated by others from steady-state kinetics. The properties of the intermediates also indicate that hydrolysis of ATPA must be largely responsible for the HCO-3-dependent ATPase activity of the enzyme. The lack of inhibition of the enzyme by Ap5A indicates substantial differences between the Escherichia coli and the rat liver synthetase.

ESR spectra of nitroxyl derivative labelling with parachlormercury benzoate bound with SH-groups of Ca, Mg-dependent ATPase in the presence of Mn2+ ions are studied. It has been concluded from the saturation curves of ESR spectra that Mn2+ is localized at the distance approximately 40 A from the SH-group of the enzyme active centre. Platinum compound (K2PtCl4) changes the spectrum of ESR 1 due to the displacement of the label from the enzyme SH-groups and disintegration of the sarcoplasmic reticulum structure. Palladium compound (Pd(NH3)4Cl2) produced no effect on the ESR 1 spectrum.

Carbamoyl phosphate synthethase I synthesizes carbamoyl phosphate from ammonia, HCO3- and two molecules of ATP, one of which, ATPA, yields Pi while the other, ATPB, yields the phosphoryl group of carbamoyl phosphate. Pulse-chase experiments with [gamma-32P]ATP without added HCO3- demonstrate separate binding sites for ATPA and ATPB. Bound ATPA dissociates readily from its site (t1/2 approximately 1--2 s) and the Kd is 0.2--0.7 mM. For the ATPB binding site the t1/2 for dissociation is 5--12 s and the Kd approximately 10 mM. Kd for ATPA seems to increase with enzyme concentration whereas Kd for ATPB does not change. HClO4 releases the ATP unchanged from the enzyme . ATPB and enzyme . ATPB . ATPA complexes. In the presence of HCO3-, ATP and N-acetylglutamate, an enzyme . ATPB . HCO3- . ATPA complex is formed. Its formation by the addition of HCO3- to the enzyme . ATPB . ATPA complex appears to involve an initial bimolecular addition reaction followed by an isomerization. Treatment with HClO4 releases Pi from ATPA but ATPB is released unchanged. Spontaneous hydrolysis of ATPA is responsible for the ATPase activity of the enzyme. Thus, a covalent bond may form between HCO3- and ATPA. However, ATPA can dissociate rapidly (t1/2 less than 10 s). The Kd for ATPA is approximately 0.2 mM. ATPB appears unable to dissociate from the enzyme . ATPB . HCO3- . ATPA complex since the t1/2 for dissociation of ATPB from the enzyme is lengthened about five times in the presence of 19 mM HCO3- and at 1 mM ATP. ATPA may also hydrolyse in this complex and be replaced by another molecule of ATP in the absence of exchange of ATPB. However, the ATPA binding site must be occupied to prevent ATPB release. ATPB may be bound in a pocket which becomes inaccessible to the solution when HCO3- and ATPA also bind. In contrast, HCO3- does not inhibit the binding of ATPB to the enzyme. Various intermediate steps in the formation of the enzyme . ATPb . HCO3- . ATPA complex are discussed. Additional evidence is presented that the ATPB binding site is only periodically accessible to ATP in solution and that ATPB in the steady-state reaction binds when the products leave. Since greater than 1.3 mol ATPB and greater than 1.8 mol ATPA bind/mol enzyme dimer, the enzyme monomer may be an active species.
