A novel method for the estimation of receptor site densities in purified canine cardiac sarcolemmal vesicles is described. Canine sarcolemmal vesicles, purified by the method of Jones et al. (Jones, L.R., Maddock, S.W. and Besch, H.R. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 9971-9980) had high (Na+ + K+)-ATPase specific activity (127 +/- 1.9 mumol Pi/mg per h). Total phospholipid content, estimated by measurements of total phosphorus and total fatty acid contents, was 3.09 mumol/mg. Saturation isotherms for several receptor ligands gave the following values for Kd and Bmax: ouabain 32.6 +/- 2.7 nM, 365 +/- 59 pmol/mg; quinuclidinyl benzilate 0.055 +/- 0.010 nM, 5.8 +/- 0.7 pmol/mg; dihydroalprenolol 4.6 +/- 1.0 nM, 2.2 +/- 0.2 pmol/mg; and nitrendipine 0.21 +/- 0.04 nM, 0.93 +/- 1.04 pmol/mg. Membrane phospholipid surface area per ligand-binding sites was estimated from the Bmax values for each receptor ligand utilizing 3.09 mumol phospholipid/mg and 60 A2 as the average surface area occupied by each phospholipid molecule. The following receptor site densities per micrometer 2 phospholipid surface were obtained: ouabain, 400; quinuclidinyl benzilate, 6; dihydroalprenolol, 2; and nitrendipine, 1. As the surface area contributed by protein was estimated to be less than 20% of the lipid surface area, these values must be reduced by approx. 20% to estimate site densities per micrometer 2 membrane surface. These data demonstrate much lower beta-adrenergic and muscarinic receptor density compared to that of Na+ pump sites.

Retinal pigment epithelium plasma membranes have been isolated by differential and density gradient centrifugation of glass-bead-bound, collagenase-treated cells. Electron microscopic evidence indicates that the glass-bead-bound cells were devoid of red blood cells, rod outer segments and other ocular cell contaminants. The plasma membranes were recovered in 4-6 micrograms/eye yields and purified 10-fold by 5'-nucleotidase and alkaline phosphodiesterase I, and 6.5-fold by (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. Plasma membrane purity as measured by covalent labeling of the epithelial cell plasma membrane proteins with p-(diazonium) benzene[32S]sulfonic acid was 8-19-fold. In purified plasma membranes contamination by mitochondria was undetectable and lysosomal contamination reduced 100-fold, while endoplasmic reticulum was 2-fold enriched. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the plasma membrane proteins revealed 23-26 major bands by Coomassie blue staining and 12-16 major bands by radioactive labeling. The plasma membranes exhibited a 3-fold lower concentration of docosahexaenoic acid, a 3-fold higher cholesterol/phosphate ratio, and were 10-fold enriched in cholesterol per micrograms protein when compared to the whole cell fraction. Retinal epithelial plasma membranes contain an average of 1 mol cholesterol per mol of lipid phosphorus, a high palmitic acid concentration (39 mol%) and a low concentration of docosahexaenoic acid (2 mol%). The lipid profile of the retinal pigment epithelial plasma membranes indicates that they are typical of plasma membranes from many other cell types and that they appear to be less fluid than total rod outer segment membranes.

To explore the hypothesis that changes in membrane phospholipids accompany tissue myo-inositol depletion and reduced (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity in diabetes, we examined phospholipid concentrations in glomeruli isolated from control and streptozotocin-diabetic rats and the effect of diabetes on myo-[3H]inositol incorporation in vitro into glomerular phosphatidylinositol. Since the aldose reductase inhibitor, Sorbinil, prevents the fall in myo-inositol and the decrease in (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity associated with diabetes, phospholipid and phosphatidylinositol content were also examined in glomeruli isolated from Sorbinil-treated diabetic rats. Total phospholipids (microgram phosphorus/mg dry weight) did not differ in the three groups of animals. The concentration of phosphatidylcholine was elevated in preparations from diabetic rats, both untreated and Sorbinil-treated. Phosphatidylethanolamine was reduced in glomeruli from Sorbinil-treated rats. Neither acute experimental diabetes nor Sorbinil treatment produced detectable changes in the glomerular concentration of phosphatidylinositol. In vitro incubations with glomeruli isolated from control and diabetic animals resulted in increased levels of incorporation of myo-[3H]inositol into phospholipids of diabetic glomeruli. The specific activity of [3H]phosphatidylinositol in glomeruli from diabetic rats was significantly greater than that in control samples. The findings do not support the postulate invoking correspondent changes in myo-inositol and phosphatidylinositol contents as contributory to diminished glomerular (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity in diabetes, but are compatible with depletion of glomerular intracellular myo-inositol in diabetes.

The effect of corticotropin (ACTH1-39), synacthen (ACTH1-24) and hydrocortisone-hemisuccinate on the activity of Ca-ATPase of skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and calcium (Ca) accumulation in SR vesicles has been studied. It has been shown that ACTH1-39 (I U per 100 g body weight) increased the activity of Ca-ATPase in skeletal muscle SR of rats, while hydrocortisone (5 mg per 100 g body weight) did not change the activity of Ca-ATPase in skeletal muscle SR. However, both hormones increase the total activity of ATPase. ACTH1-39 and ACTH1-24 (0.05-0.0005 U/ml) and hydrocortisone (2.8 X 10(-7)-2.8 X 10(-9) mol/l) increased in vitro Ca-ATPase isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle SR and accumulation of Ca is SR vesicles. At the same time, hydrocortisone reduced calcium/phosphorus ratio, while ACTH1-39 and ACTH1-24 increased it, i.e. hydrocortisone facilitated Ca accumulation in SR requiring more ATP energy, whereas ACTH facilitated Ca accumulation in SR requiring less ATP energy.

Phosphorus-31 nuclear magnetic resonance has been used to study the post mortem catabolism of high-energy phosphate compounds and the associated intracellular pH variation in pure fast- and slow-twitch rabbit muscles and in rabbit muscle with mixed fiber types. Comparative results from pure fiber types are reported for the first time. Large amounts of glycerophosphorylcholine (14.1 mumol/g fresh tissue) are found in the internal conoidal bundle (ICB), a pure oxidative slow twitch muscle, whereas the m. psoas major (PM), a pure glycolytic fast twitch muscle and the m. gastrocnemius caput medialis (GCM), with mixed fiber types, are devoid of the same metabolite. The total content of phosphorylated metabolites is constant among the three muscle types. The time-dependent post mortem changes in phosphorylated metabolites display the expected rapid drop in phosphocreatine and a simultaneous increase in intracellular inorganic phosphate. However, the ATP level remains constant during more than 2 h. Rate constants for metabolite breakdown and apparent ATPase activity have been determined. The comparative kinetics of intracellular acidosis at 25 degrees C yield rates of 3.3 X 10(-3) pH unit/min for PM, 2.7 X 10(-3) pH unit/min for GCM and 3.0 X 10(-3) pH unit/min for ICB. Initial intracellular pH values are 7.07, 7.20 and 7.02, respectively. Upon aging, the heterogeneity of the Pi signal reflects the existence of cellular compartments with different internal pH. The results suggest that the more intense low-pH Pi signal arises from the sarcoplasmic reticulum while the less intense resonance would reflect the sarcoplasmic higher pH. The temperature effect on post mortem catabolism in the 15-25 degrees C range has been documented. As expected, phosphocreatine and ATP breakdown increase with temperature but at a higher rate for slow-twitch ICB than for fast-twitch PM.

The relationship between phosphorylation ratio [( ATP])/[ADP][Pi], phosphocreatine (PCr)/Pi, and ATPase activity was determined for isolated rat heart mitochondria, and the use of phosphorylation ratio and/or PCr/Pi as bioenergetic indices (Chance, B., Eleff, S., Leigh, J. S., Sokolow, D., and Sapega, A. (1981) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 78, 6714-6718) was evaluated. Isolated rat heart mitochondria were suspended at low concentration (0.5-2.0 mg of protein/ ml) in oxygenated KCl/sucrose/4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid medium at 25 degrees C and pyruvate, malate, PCr, ATP, Pi, and Mg2+ were added. Changes in extramitochondrial phosphorus compounds were followed by 31P NMR. The ATPase activity was varied by the addition of potato apyrase. It was found that the logarithm of steady state PCr/Pi decreased linearly with increasing ATPase rate with a PCr/Pi intercept of 32.8 at 0 ATPase rate. The log phosphorylation ratio was also linearly related to the ATPase rate with an extrapolated maximum value of 6.87 at 0 ATPase rate, corresponding to a phosphorylation ratio of 7.41 X 10(6) M(-1) and a delta GATP of -16.3 kcal. The phosphorylation ratio in these experiments (for state 4 respiration) was greater by 1 or 2 orders of magnitude than previously reported for either isolated mitochondria or for whole tissue.

Renal proximal tubule cells adapt to dietary phosphate (Pi) restriction by increasing Pi transport independent of parathyroid hormone, vitamin D metabolites, or serum Ca2+. To determine the underlying cellular mechanism(s), brush border (BBM) and basolateral membranes (BLM) were isolated from growing male rats fed a synthetic diet containing variable levels of Pi (0.1-1.4%). Dietary Pi restriction was without effect on either BBM or BLM total lipid phosphorus, individual phospholipid species, or BLM Na+-K+-ATPase specific activity. However, dietary Pi restriction (0.1 vs. 1.0%) did cause a significant reduction in BBM but not BLM cholesterol (0.45 vs. 0.41 mumol/mg protein). Brush border membrane cholesterol was inversely correlated with the tubular reabsorption of Pi (r = 0.77, P less than 0.01) over a broad range (99.9-46.2%). Arrhenius analysis of two intrinsic BBM enzymes revealed a significant reduction in the breakpoint temperature for alkaline phosphatase but no change for Mg2+-ATPase. Fluorescence polarization studies showed increased BBM inner core fluidity due to an alteration in neutral lipids but not phospholipid, fatty acid, or protein membrane components. These data demonstrate that the BBM can regulate its cholesterol content independent of the BLM. Furthermore, they suggest that adaptation to dietary Pi restriction involves a reduction in BBM cholesterol, which may be mediated by an increase in membrane fluidity.

Of all tissues of the extremities, muscle is the least tolerant of ischemia. Hypothermia of tissue is considered beneficial for the maintenance of viability of muscle in amputated limbs before surgical replantation, but it has never been established that conventional cooling in an ice bath or its equivalent (temperature of tissue, approximately 1 degree Celsius) is the optimum level of hypothermia for minimizing metabolic derangement in ischemic muscle. In this study, we first defined the time course and level of metabolic derangement of muscle in twenty-eight ischemic hind limbs in cats at 22, 15, 10, 5, and 1 degree Celsius. The levels of adenosine triphosphate and phosphocreatine and the mean intracellular pH of the muscles in the lateral aspect of the thigh in each limb were monitored with phosphorus nuclear magnetic-resonance spectroscopy over time. The excised muscles from six freshly amputated legs of live humans were then similarly studied to determine whether muscles from cats and from humans exhibit comparable bioenergetic responses to hypothermic ischemia. A final series of ten ischemic hind limbs from cats was studied by nuclear magnetic resonance and muscle biopsy for direct biochemical assay of tissue energy metabolites to compare the metabolic benefits of two different methods of preserving limbs: continuous cooling in an ice bath, and a newly devised protocol for the rapid induction and maintenance of so-called intermediate (10 +/- 5 degrees Celsius) hypothermia of tissue. Ischemic skeletal muscle in cats exhibited a paradoxical metabolic response to extreme cold (1 degree Celsius). The rate of metabolic deterioration progressively declined with decreasing temperature of tissue to 10 degrees Celsius. However, at 5 degrees Celsius, no additional benefit was detected, and at 1 degree Celsius, there was a significant acceleration in the rates of degradation of adenosine triphosphate and phosphocreatine and in the production of lactate. The rate of degradation of adenosine triphosphate in human ischemic muscle was also faster at 1 degree Celsius than at 10 degrees Celsius. This paradoxical response is apparently due to a severe inhibition of the calcium pump of the sarcoplasmic reticulum of the muscle cell at temperatures of less than 5 degrees Celsius. The inhibition permits an efflux of calcium to the myofibrils, which stimulates both glycolysis and the degradation of adenosine triphosphate by myofibrillar adenosine triphosphatase.

Phosphorus 31 magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P MRS) was used to study noninvasively the intracellular free Mg2+ concentration and cellular bioenergetic state of rat brain in vivo before and after fluid percussion-induced traumatic brain injury of graded severity. Brain injury was induced at four levels: low (1.0 +/- 0.5 atm); moderate (2.1 +/- 0.4 atm); high (3.9 +/- 0.9 atm); and severe (5.9 +/- 0.7 atm). Prior to injury, mean intracellular values for all groups (n = 24; mean +/- SE) were as follows: pH = 7.11 +/- 0.03; free [Mg2+] = 0.99 +/- 0.07 mM; cytosolic [ADP] = 25.2 +/- 0.8 nmol/g wet weight; cytosolic [AMP] = 0.29 +/- 0.02 nmol/g wet weight; cytosolic phosphorylation potential = 118.5 +/- 3.1 X 10(3) M-1; free energy of ATP hydrolysis = 62.11 +/- 0.04 kJ/mole; and energy charge = 0.99 +/- 0.01. Following every level of injury, there were decreases in intracellular free Mg2+ concentration, and alterations in the intracellular pH. These posttraumatic changes in Mg2+ and pH induced shifts in the equilibrium constants of the creatine kinase, adenylate kinase, and ATPase reactions, resulting in alterations in [ADP], [AMP], cytosolic phosphorylation potential, and free energy of hydrolysis, but not in the energy charge. The alterations in cytosolic phosphorylation potential following trauma were linearly correlated with the changes in intracellular free Mg2+ concentration. None of the individual bioenergetic parameters could be correlated with the severity of injury over the entire injury range; however, an association between cytosolic phosphorylation potential and reversibility of injury was apparent. These results suggest that reductions in cellular bioenergetic state following traumatic brain injury occur through a posttraumatic decrease in the cells' capacity for oxidative phosphorylation, which itself may be directly related to the intracellular free Mg2+ concentration.

The kinetic mechanism of carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase II from Syrian hamster kidney cells has been determined at pH 7.2 and 37 degrees C. Initial velocity, product inhibition, and dead-end inhibition studies of both the biosynthetic and bicarbonate-dependent adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) reactions are consistent with a partially random sequential mechanism in which the ordered addition of MgATP, HCO3-, and glutamine is followed by the ordered release of glutamate and Pi. Subsequently, the binding of a second MgATP is followed by the release of MgADP, which precedes the random release of carbamoyl phosphate and a second MgADP. Carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase II catalyzes beta gamma-bridge:beta-nonbridge positional oxygen exchange of [gamma-18O]ATP in both the ATPase and biosynthetic reactions. Negligible exchange is observed in the strict absence of HCO3- (and glutamine or NH4+). The ratio of moles of MgATP exchanged to moles of MgATP hydrolyzed (nu ex/nu cat) is 0.62 for the ATPase reaction, and it is 0.39 and 0.16 for the biosynthetic reaction in the presence of high levels of glutamine and NH4+, respectively. The observed positional isotope exchange is suppressed but not eliminated at nearly saturating concentrations of either glutamine or NH4+, suggesting that this residual exchange results from either the facile reversal of an E-MgADP-carboxyphosphate-Gln(NH4+) complex or exchange within an E-MgADP-carbamoyl phosphate-MgADP complex, or both. In the 31P NMR spectra of the exchanged [gamma-18O]ATP, the distribution patterns of 16O in the gamma-phosphorus resonances in all samples reflect an exchange mechanism in which a rotationally unhindered molecule of [18O3, 16O]Pi does not readily participate. These results suggest that the formation of carbamate from MgATP, HCO3-, and glutamine proceeds via a stepwise, not concerted mechanism, involving at least one kinetically competent covalent intermediate, such as carboxyphosphate.
