The effect of Cl- and other anions on the tonoplast H+-translocating ATPase (H+-ATPase) from Hevea brasiliensis (rubber tree) latex was investigated. Cl- and other anions stimulated the ATPase activity of tightly sealed vesicles prepared from Hevea tonoplast, with the following decreasing order of effectiveness: Cl- greater than Br- greater than SO4(2-) greater than NO3-. As indicated by the changes of the protonmotive potential difference, anion stimulation of tonoplast H+-ATPase was caused in part by the ability of these anions to dissipate the electrical potential. This interpretation assumes not a channelling of these anions against a membrane potential, negative-inside, but a modification of the permeability of these ions through the tonoplast membrane. In addition, Cl- and the other anions stimulated the ATPase activity solubilized from the tonoplast membrane. Consequently, the tonoplast H+-pumping ATPase can be considered as an anion-stimulated enzyme. These results are discussed in relation to various models described in the literature for the microsomal H+-ATPase systems claimed as tonoplast entities.

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 native form of phospholamban in cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes was investigated using photosensitive heterobifunctional cross-linkers, both cleavable and noncleavable, and common protein modifiers. The photosensitive heterobifunctional cleavable cross-linker ethyl 4-azidophenyl-1, 4-dithiobutyrimidate was used in native SR vesicles and it cross-linked phospholamban into an apparent phospholamban-phospholamban dimer and into an approximately 110,000-Da species. The phospholamban dimer migrated at approximately 12,000 Da on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, and upon cleavage of the cross-linker before electrophoresis the dimer disappeared. The approximately 110,000-Da cross-linked species was not affected by boiling in sodium dodecyl sulfate prior to electrophoresis. This cross-linked form of phospholamban migrated approximately 5500 Da above the Ca2(+)-ATPase, which was visualized using fluorescein 5'-isothiocynate, a fluorescent marker that binds specifically to the Ca2(+)-ATPase. p-Azidophenacyl bromide, iodoacetic acid, and N-ethylmaleimide, all of which react with sulfhydryl groups, were also employed to further characterize phospholamban in native sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes. Cross-linking with p-azidophenacyl bromide resulted in only monomeric and dimeric forms of phospholamban as observed on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. Iodoacetic acid and N-ethylmalemide were found to be effective in disrupting the pentameric form of phospholamban only when reacted with sodium dodecyl sulfate solubilized sarcoplasmic reticulum. In view of these findings, the amino acid sequence of phospholamban was examined for possible protein-protein interaction sites. Analysis by hydropathic profiling and secondary structure prediction suggests that the region of amino acids 1-14 may form an amphipathic alpha helix and the hydrophobic surface on one of its sites could interact with the reciprocal hydrophobic surface of another protein, such as the Ca2(+)-ATPase.

The reabsorption of amino acids by the proximal tubule is remarkably efficient. Current evidence indicates that this process occurs by Na+-amino acid cotransport or symport. The energy for amino acid entry is derived from the chemical and voltage gradient for Na+ entry across the apical surface of the renal cell maintained by pumping Na+ out of the cell by Na+-K+-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity at the basolateral membrane. We chose the beta-amino acid taurine to study the anionic requirements as well as voltage- and pH-dependence of Na+-taurine symport into rat proximal tubule brush border membrane vesicles. Maximal uptake was found when Cl- or Br- were the anions. The addition of various ionophores (amiloride, carbonyl cyanide-n chlorophenyl-hydrazone, and valinomycin) under pH-equilibrated conditions did not change taurine entry into the vesicle. Hill equation analysis of the initial rate of taurine uptake into vesicles indicates that transport operates by means of a 2 Na+:1 Cl-:1 taurine-carrier complex. Because taurine is a zwitterion, this complex has a net positive charge. Its entry into the vesicle is favored by the imposition of an outwardly directed K+ gradient in the presence of valinomycin. The movement of a quaternary complex of this type across the apical surface of the proximal tubular cell would assure that the movement of both Cl- and the amino acid is energized by the Na+ gradient. Because most amino acids are zwitterions at physiologic pH this complex would be positively charged, favoring entry into the voltage negative renal cell interior.

Swelling of astrocytes in the brain is a major cause of the morbidity and mortality associated with stroke and head trauma. Using a human astrocytoma cell line (UC-11MG) as a model system, we studied cell volume changes caused by ATP depletion under conditions mimicking hypoxia. ATP levels were reduced to less than 10% of control using the metabolic inhibitors KCN or antimycin in combination with glucose deprivation. This was sufficient to eliminate ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+ uptake, indicating the Na+-K+-adenosinetriphosphatase was not operating. Furosemide-sensitive 86Rb+ uptake was reduced by approximately 60%, indicating Na+-K+-2Cl- cotransport was also sensitive to ATP loss. ATP depletion resulted in a 30-40% reduction of cell volume within 60 min. ATP depletion also resulted in a net loss of intracellular K+. This loss of K+ could be blocked by Ba2+, indicating the K+ loss was through a conductive channel. When the net K+ loss was blocked by Ba2+, the volume decrease was also prevented. The cells remained viable throughout the time period as judged by exclusion of ethidium bromide by 99% of the cells and recovery of ATP levels to 75% of control within 60 min. We conclude that ATP depletion, following inhibition of glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, causes astrocytes to shrink because of a more rapid loss of K+ than uptake of Na+. Thus it appears that ATP depletion alone is not sufficient to account for the rapid phase of astrocytic swelling observed during cerebral ischemia.

ATPase activity in highly purified rat liver lysosome preparations was evaluated in the presence of other membrane cellular ATPase inhibitors, and compared with lysosome ATP-driven proton translocating activity. Replacement of 5 mM Mg2+ with equimolar Ca2+ brought about a 50% inhibition in divalent cation-dependent ATPase activity, and an 80% inactivation of ATP-linked lysosomal H+ pump activity. In the presence of optimal concentrations of Ca2+ and Mg2+, ATPase activity was similar to that seen in an Mg2+ medium. Mg2+-dependent ATPase activity was greatly inhibited (from 70 to 80%) by the platinum complexes; cis-didimethylsulfoxide dichloroplatinum(II) (CDDP) at approximately 90 microM and cis-diaminedichloroplatinum(II) at twofold higher concentrations. Less inhibition, about 30 and 45%, was obtained with N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and N-ethylmaleimide, and the maximal effect occurred in the 50-100 microM and 0.1-1.5 mM ranges, respectively. The concentration dependence of inhibition by the above drugs was determined for both proton pumping and ATPase activities, and half-maximal inhibition concentration of each activity was found at nearly similar values. A micromolar concentration of carbonylcyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP) prevented ATP from setting up a pH gradient across the lysosomal membranes, but stimulated Mg2+-ATPase activity significantly. ATPase activity in Ca2+ medium was also inhibited by CDDP and stimulated by FCCP, but both effects were two- to threefold less than those observed in Mg2+ medium. FCCP failed to stimulate ATPase activity in a CDDP-supplemented medium, thus suggesting that the same ATPase activity fraction was sensitive to both CDDP and FCCP. Mg2+-ATPase activity, like the proton pump, was anion dependent. The lowest activity was recorded in a F-medium, and increased in the order of F- less than SO2-4 less than Cl- approximately equal to Br-. The CDDP-sensitive ATPase activity observed, supported by Mg2+ and less so by Ca2+, may be related to lysosome proton pump activity.

The enamel organ of growing rat incisors was perfusion-fixed with a mixture of formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde and processed for ultracytochemical demonstration of ouabain-resistant, K+-stimulated p-nitrophenylphosphatase representing the second dephosphorylative step of H-K-ATPase by use of the one-step lead method. Throughout the stages of amelogenesis, the enzymatic activity was found in the plasma membranes, mitochondrial membranes, and lysosomal structures of the cells of stratum intermedium, papillary layer, and ameloblast layer. Gap junctions and desmosomes between these cells were, however, free of reaction product or showed slight precipitates of reaction. The stellate reticulum and the outer enamel epithelium at the stage of enamel secretion were usually negative for reaction. Although secretory, transition, and ruffle-ended maturation ameloblasts showed enzymatic activity at their basolateral cell surfaces, their distal cell surfaces facing the enamel were always free of reaction product. On the other hand, the smooth-ended maturation ameloblasts seldom showed a positive reaction, except in lysosomes and along their basal cell surfaces. An energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis of reaction products of H-K-ATPase in unosmicated tissue sections demonstrated that they were composed of lead and phosphorus, which had been released during the dephosphorylation of substrate. In cytochemical controls, the enzymatic activity was completely dependent on substrate and potassium ion, resistant to ouabain and levamisole, and inhibited by nolinium bromide, a specific inhibitor of H-K-ATPase. In addition, inorganic trimetaphosphatase as enzymatic marker of lysosome was localized in dark and pale lysosomes, phagosomes, multivesicular bodies, and ferritin-containing vesicles of the ameloblasts and the cells of stratum intermedium and papillary layer. These membrane-bound structures were also positive for H-K-ATPase reaction. These results suggest that: 1) H-K-ATPase functions to maintain an acidic internal pH of lysosomes in the enamel organ cells; and 2) H-K-ATPase localization in the plasma membranes of enamel organ cells is concerned with efflux of protons derived from cytoplasmic water.

We have systematically investigated certain characteristics of the ATP-dependent proton transport mechanism of bovine brain clathrin-coated vesicles. H+ transport specific activity was shown by column chromatograpy to co-purify with coated vesicles, however, the clathrin coat is not required for vesicle acidification as H+ transport was not altered by prior removal of the clathrin coat. Acidification of the vesicle interior, measured by fluorescence quenching of acridine orange, displayed considerable anion selectively (Cl- greater than Br- much greater than NO3- much greater than gluconate, SO2-(4), HPO2-(4), mannitol; Km for Cl- congruent to 15 mM), but was relatively insensitive to cation replacement as long as Cl- was present. Acidification was unaffected by ouabain or vanadate but was inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide (IC50 less than 10 microM), dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) (IC50 congruent to 10 microM), chlorpromazine (IC50 congruent to 15 microM), and oligomycin (IC50 congruent to 3 microM). In contrast to N-ethylmaleimide, chlorpromazine rapidly dissipated preformed pH gradients. Valinomycin stimulated H+ transport in the presence of potassium salts (gluconate much greater than NO3- greater than Cl-), and the membrane-potential-sensitive dye Oxonol V demonstrated an ATP-dependent interior-positive vesicle membrane potential which was greater in the absence of permeant anions (mannitol greater than potassium gluconate greater than KCl) and was abolished by N-ethylmaleimide, protonophores or detergent. Total vesicle-associated ouabain-insensitive ATPase activity was inhibited 64% by 1 mM N-ethylmaleimide, and correlated poorly with H+ transport, however N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive ATPase activity correlated well with proton transport (r = 0.95) in the presence of various Cl- salts and KNO3. Finally, vesicles prepared from bovine brain synaptic membranes exhibited H+ transport activity similar to that of the coated vesicles.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Mitochondrial H+ -ATPase complex, purified by the lysolecithin extraction procedure, has been resolved into a "membrane" (NaBr-F0) and a "soluble" fraction by treatment with 3.5 M sodium bromide. The NaBr-F0 fraction is completely devoid of beta, delta, and epsilon subunits of the F, ATPase and largely devoid of alpha and gamma subunits of F1, where F0 is used to denote the membrane fraction and F1, coupling factor 1. This is confirmed by complete loss of ATPase and Pi-ATP exchange activities. The addition of F1 (400 micrograms X mg-1 F0) results in complete restoration of oligomycin sensitivity without any reduction in the F1-ATPase activity. Presumably, this is due to release of ATPase inhibitor protein from the F1-F0 complex consequent to sodium bromide extraction. Restoration of Pi-ATP exchange and H+ -pumping activities require coupling factor B in addition to F1-ATPase. The oligomycin-sensitive ATPase and 32Pi-ATP exchange activities in reconstituted F1-F0 have the same sensitivity to uncouplers and energy transfer inhibitors as in starting submitochondrial particles from the heavy layer of mitochondria and F1-F0 complex. The data suggest that the altered properties of NaBr-F0 observed in other laboratories are probably inherent to their F1-F0 preparations rather than to sodium bromide treatment itself. The H+ -ATPase (F1-F0) complex of all known prokaryotic (3, 8, 9, 10, 21, 32, 34) and eukaryotic (11, 26, 30, 33, 35-37) phosphorylating membranes contain two functionally and structurally distinct entities. The hydrophilic component F1, composed of five unlike subunits, shows ATPase activity that is cold labile as well as uncoupler- and oligomycin-insensitive. The membrane-bound hydrophobic component F0, having no energy-linked catalytic activity of its own, is indirectly assayed by its ability to regain oligomycin sensitive ATPase and Pi-ATP exchange activities on binding to F1-ATPase (33). The purest preparations of bovine heart mitochondrial F0 show seven or eight major components in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate or SDS-PAGE (1, 2, 12, 14), ranging from 6 to 54 ku in molecular weight (12). The precise structure and polypeptide composition of mitochondrial F0 is not known. The F0 preparations from bovine heart reported so far have been derived from H+ -ATPase preparations isolated in the presence of cholate and deoxycholate (11, 33, 36, 37).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The native tonoplast and the mitochondrial H+-ATPase from oat roots were compared to determine whether the two enzymes have similar mechanisms. H+ pumping in low-density microsomal vesicles reflected activity from the tonoplast-type ATPase, as ATPase activity and ATP-dependent H+ pumping (quinacrine fluorescence quenching) showed similar sensitivities to inhibition by N-ethylmaleimide, N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, 4,4'-diisothiocyano-2,2'-stilbene disulfonate, nitrate, quercetin, or 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole. The tonoplast-type ATPase was stimulated by C1-,Br- greater than HCO3- whereas the mitochondrial ATPase was stimulated by HCO3- much greater than C1-,Br-. Both enzymes hydrolyzed ATP preferentially and were inhibited competitively by AMP or ADP. Apart from resistance to azide, the tonoplast-type ATPase was strikingly similar in its inhibitor sensitivities to the mitochondrial ATPase. The insensitivity to vanadate of both enzymes suggests the reaction mechanisms do not involve a covalent phosphoenzyme. Inhibition by 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole and N-ethylmaleimide and protection by ATP suggests tyrosine and cysteine residues are in the catalytic site of the tonoplast ATPase. The mitochondrial ATPase was 100 times more sensitive to N,N'-dicyclohexyl-carbodiimide inhibition than the tonoplast H+-ATPase. These results suggest the tonoplast and the mitochondrial H+-ATPases share common steps in their catalytic and vectorial reaction mechanisms, yet sufficient differences exist to indicate they are two distinct ATPases.
