We have studied the properties of membrane-bound ATPase of a facultatively anaerobic alkalophile. The enzyme could not be solubilized without detergent, suggesting an integral membrane protein. The activity was accelerated by NH4+ and acetate anion, and inhibited by NH3-. The enzyme required Mg2+ or Mn2+ as a divalent cation for the maximal activity. In addition to ATP, the enzyme utilized other triphosphates of nucleosides as a substrate, but not di- nor monophosphates. The enzyme was suggested to crossreact with an antibody against the alpha-subunit of Na+/K+-ATPase from dog kidney.

The UTP-dependent ATPase reaction and the glutamine-dependent overall reaction of Escherichia coli CTP synthetase have been studied by rapid quench and isotope partitioning kinetics. The effect of GTP, an allosteric effector, on the pre-steady-state kinetics of both reactions has also been examined. The time courses of the UTP-dependent ATPase reaction in the presence and absence of GTP are both characterized by a burst of acid-labile phosphate equivalent to 0.93 and 0.43 subunits, respectively. The time course of the glutamine-dependent reaction in the absence of GTP is also characterized by a burst of acid-labile phosphate corresponding to 0.8 subunit; however, in the presence of GTP, no burst was observed. These results along with positional isotope exchange experiments [von der Saal, W., Anderson, P. M., & Villafranca, J. J. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 14997] provide evidence that the mechanism of CTP formation involves phosphorylation of UTP followed by attack of NH3, and finally release of phosphate, producing CTP, ADP, and Pi. A kinetic model for the first stages of the enzymatic reaction was developed from the rapid quench data, and the internal equilibrium constant for the formation of the phosphorylated UTP intermediate was determined. The internal equilibrium constants for the UTP-dependent reaction in the presence and absence of GTP were found to be 1.1 and 18, respectively. By contrast, the internal equilibrium constant for the reaction in the presence of glutamine was 50. Thus, the presence of glutamine shifts the internal equilibrium constant to favor formation of the phosphorylated UTP intermediate.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Transferred nuclear Overhauser effect measurements (in the two-dimensional mode) have been used to determine the three-dimensional conformation of an ATP analogue, Co(NH3)4ATP, at the active site of sheep kidney Na,K-ATPase. Previous studies have shown that Co(NH3)4ATP is a competitive inhibitor with respect to MnATP for the Na,K-ATPase [Klevickis, C., & Grisham, C.M. (1982) Biochemistry 21, 6979. Gantzer, M.L., et al. (1982) Biochemistry 21, 4083]. Nine unique proton-proton distances on ATPase-bound Co(NH3)4ATP were determined from the initial build-up rates of the cross-peaks of the 2D-TRNOE data sets. These distances, taken together with previous 31P and 1H relaxation measurements with paramagnetic probes, are consistent with a single nucleotide conformation at the active site. The bound Co(NH3)4ATP) adopts an anti conformation, with a glycosidic torsion angle of 35 degrees, and the conformation of the ribose ring is slightly N-type (C2'-exo, C3'-endo). The delta and gamma torsional angles in this conformation are 100 degrees and 178 degrees, respectively. The nucleotide adopts a bent configuration, in which the triphosphate chain lies nearly parallel to the adenine moiety. Mn2+ bound to a single, high-affinity site on the ATPase lies above and in the plane of the adenine ring. The distances from enzyme-bound Mn2+ to N6 and N7 are too large for first coordination sphere complexes, but are appropriate for second-sphere complexes involving, for example, intervening hydrogen-bonded water molecules. The NMR data also indicate that the structure of the bound ATP analogue is independent of the conformational state of the enzyme.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Purified membrane-bound Na,K-ATPase incubated with cobalt-tetrammine-ATP [Co(NH3)4ATP], which is a stable MgATP complex analog, shows two new types of membrane crystals, a new p21 form and a p4 form. The building blocks of the crystalline arrays correspond to (alpha beta)2 dimers of the enzyme protein suggesting that alpha-alpha interaction may be important in the pumping process.

Maternal alcohol consumption produces various abnormalities in the offspring, termed fetal alcohol syndrome. We investigated various biochemical modifications occurring in the brain and the liver of pups born to alcohol-consuming rats. The parameters analysed were: superoxide dismutase, a protector against free radicals injury, enolase isoenzymes as markers of nerve cell maturation, glutamine synthetase involved in ammonia detoxification, alcohol and aldehyde deshydrogenases in order to evaluate the contribution of acetaldehyde teratogenicity and ATPase activities involved in ion and neurotransmitter transport. Activities of all these enzymes were decreased in the brain even when alcohol was withdrawn from the mother diet either during pregnancy or lactation. Activities were also decreased in the liver, except enolase and alcohol deshydrogenase activities, which were increased, suggesting possible adaptative events in the presence of alcohol. It seems likely that the multiple alterations observed in experimental fetal alcohol syndrome may be caused by free radicals following decreased superoxide dismutase activity in addition to the toxicity of alcohol and its metabolites.

Two monoclonal antibodies (MAb I and IV) have been prepared which showed high and specific reactions towards bovine heart mitochondrial coupling factor B (FB). Both have been identified as sub-type IgG1 of mouse immunoglobulins. MAb I reacts with purified and functionally active FB, alkylated or oxidized forms of FB and even with peptides formed on digestion of FB with trypsin. When used together, MAb I and IV reacted with FB in immunoblots of normal and urea treated samples of mitochondria, submitochondrial particles, ammonia-EDTA extracted particles, and H+-ATPase. Both MAbs inhibited FB-stimulated ATP-dependent reverse electron flow activity when FB was incubated with the antibody either before or after its addition to FB-deficient AE-particles. Reactivity of MAb I towards FB declined upon exposure of FB to guanidine HC1 while reactivity of MAb IV remained unaltered.

A plasma membrane proton-translocating adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) has been identified in rat alveolar pneumocytes in primary culture using the pH-sensitive fluorescent probe 2',7'-biscarboxyethyl-5,6-carboxyfluorescein. Intracellular pH (pHi) was acutely lowered by NH3 prepulse in HCO3(-)-free medium buffered with 6 mM N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N'-2-ethanesulfonic acid, and its recovery was measured thereafter under control conditions, in the presence of amiloride to inhibit Na(+)-H+ antiport, and in the presence of N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), a plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase inhibitor. Initial rate of pHi recovery was reduced by 67% in the presence of amiloride, 52% in the presence of NEM, and 96% in the presence of both. Recovery was decreased but not abolished in Na(+)-free buffer, was essentially abolished when NEM was present in the absence of Na+, and was also abolished by addition of the metabolic inhibitor KCN in glucose- and Na(+)-free medium. These data suggest that alveolar epithelial cells possess a plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase. In Na(+)-containing buffer at pH 7.4, steady-state pHi was 7.50. This value was unaffected by amiloride but decreased to 7.01 in the presence of NEM, suggesting active H(+)-ATPase and inactive Na(+)-H+ antiport at steady-state pHi. We conclude that this plasma membrane proton-translocating ATPase in alveolar pneumocytes may be an important mechanism contributing to regulation of steady-state pHi, recovery from acute intracellular acidification, and modulation of extracellular alveolar fluid pH.

A natural DNA-intercalator plant benzo-c-phenanthridine alkaloid sanguinarine is more toxic for mouse transformed fibroblast L-cells in culture than synthetic DNA-intercalator ethidium bromide (EtB) and alkaloid berberine. Dimidium bromide is also an inhibitor of the L-cell growth. In assay conditions, growth of L-cells is stopped by 1.5 x 10(-5) M of sanguinarine. Lebr-625 cells, resistant to 25 micrograms/ml of EtB, have sanguinarine sensitivity close to that of L-cells, but Lebr-625 cells are resistant to dimidium bromide. Sanguinarine is more toxic for L-cells in culture than the anticancer drug cis-PtNH3)2Cl2. Trans-Pt(NH3)2Cl2 is less toxic for these cells. The strong toxicity of sanguinarine for L- and Lebr-625 cells in culture, as compared to other DNA-complexing drugs, seems to be associated with the wide range of potential cell targets for sanguinarine influence. Besides the inhibition of nucleic acid metabolism reactions, characteristic of DNA-intercalators, and disruption the mitochondrial ATP synthesis, also characteristic of organic heterocyclic cationic molecules of DNA-intercalators, sanguinarine can modify the thiol groups of enzymes including SH-sensitive membrane-bound Na+, K(+)-ATPase of cerebral cortex and Ca2(+)-ATPase of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum fragments.

The MgATP complex analogue cobalt-tetrammine-ATP [Co(NH3)4ATP] inactivates (Na+ + K+)-ATPase at 37 degrees C slowly in the absence of univalent cations. This inactivation occurs concomitantly with incorporation of radioactivity from [alpha-32P]Co(NH3)4ATP and from [gamma-32P]Co(NH3)4ATP into the alpha subunit. The kinetics of inactivation are consistent with the formation of a dissociable complex of Co(NH3)4ATP with the enzyme (E) followed by the phosphorylation of the enzyme: (Formula: see text). The dissociation constant of the enzyme-MgATP analogue complex at 37 degrees C is Kd = 500 microM, the inactivation rate constant k2 = 0.05 min-1. ATP protects the enzyme against the inactivation by Co(NH3)4ATP due to binding at a site from which it dissociates with a Kd of 360 microM. It is concluded, therefore, that Co(NH3)4ATP binds to the low-affinity ATP binding site of the E2 conformational state. K+, Na+ and Mg2+ protect the enzyme against the inactivation by Co(NH3)4ATP. Whilst Na+ or Mg2+ decrease the inactivation rate constant k2, K+ exerts its protective effect by increasing the dissociation constant of the enzyme.Co(NH3)4ATP complex. The Co(NH3)4ATP-inactivated (Na+ + K+)-ATPase, in contrast to the non-inactivated enzyme, incorporates [3H]ouabain. This indicates that the Co(NH3)4ATP-inactivated enzyme is stabilized in the E2 conformational state. Despite the inactivation of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase by Co(NH3)4ATP from the low-affinity ATP binding site, there is no change in the capacity of the high-affinity ATP binding site (Kd = 0.9 microM) nor of its capability to phosphorylate the enzyme Na+-dependently. Since (Na+ + K+)-ATPase is phosphorylated Na+-dependently from the high-affinity ATP binding site although the catalytic cycle is arrested in the E2 conformational state by specific modification of the low-affinity ATP binding site, it is concluded that both ATP binding sites coexist at the same time in the working sodium pump. This demonstration of interacting catalytic subunits in the E1 and E2 conformational states excludes the proposal that a single catalytic subunit catalyzes (Na+ + K+)-transport.

(1) In view of a previously established stimulation of steady-state phosphorylation of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase by imidazole and its inhibition by tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, the effect of (structure, chemical composition and charge of) a number of primary, secondary and tertiary amines (including imidazole derivatives) has been investigated. (2) Primary amines are predominantly inhibitory and diamines are more inhibitory than monoamines. The strongest inhibition is exerted by ethylenediamine (I50 in 50 mM imidazole = 25 microM, vs. 60 mM for n-propylamine). Increasing the distance between the two amino groups from 3.7 to 8.7 A increases the I50 180-fold. The optimal distance of 3-4 A indicates a similar distance between two ligand(presumably Na+)-binding sites on the enzyme. (3) Screening or substitution of the central N-atom decreases inhibition by the nitrogen compound. Triple substitution by propyl or allyl groups leads to maximal activation, amounting to about 90% of the Na+-activation level. Triethyl substitution gives suboptimal activation and tributyl substitution leads to inhibition. Substitution by polar or negatively charged carboxyl groups diminishes or even abolishes inhibition and also diminishes or abolishes activation. (4) Although occasionally positive charge is not required for inhibition, it is prerequisite for activation. Within certain families of compounds (e.g., ethylenediamine and imidazole derivatives) inhibition or activation increases with pKa, hence with positive charge. (5) The above data are interpreted in terms of inhibition, which is competitive to Na+, being governed by Coulomb interaction. Activation, on the other hand, is predominantly determined by lipophilic (van der Waals or pi-pi electron) interactions, excluding water from the phosphorylation site, hence decreasing phosphoenzyme hydrolysis and increasing the phosphoenzyme level. The requirement of charge (though hidden by substitution) implies weak additional electrostatic interaction.
