Sodium-potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase (Na-K-ATPase) is associated with electrolyte transport in many tissues. To help delineate its role in intestinal transport, changes in rat intestinal electrolyte and water transport induced by injecting methylprednisolone acetate 3 mg/100 g or deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) 0.5 mg/100 g per day for 3 days were correlated with changes in Na-K-ATPase activity. Methylprednisolone increased sodium and water absorption, potassium secretion, transmural potential difference, and Na-K-ATPase activity in the jejunum, ileum, and colon. Examination of isolated epithelial cells demonstrated that the jejunal and ileal increase in Na-K-ATPase occurred in both the villus tip and crypermeability, Mg-ATPase, and adenylate cyclase activities were unchanged by methylprednisolone. DOCA increased sodium and water absorption, potassium secretion, transmural potential difference, and Na-K-ATPase activity in the colon alone. Colonic Mg-ATPase and adenylate cyclase activities were unaffected. Jejunal and ileal enzyme activity, electrolyte transport, and permeability were unchanged by DOCA. Methylprednisolone and DOCA were not additive in their effect on colonic Na-K-ATPase activity. Methylprednisolone and DOCA increased electrolyte and water transport and Na-K-ATPase activity concomitantly in specific segments of small intestine and colon. These data are consistent with an important role for Na-K-ATPase in intestinal electrolyte and water transport.

When ATP binds to myosin in the presence of Mg2+ there follows a rapid cleavage reaction to yield a myosin-product complex whose breakdown is rate-limiting in the overall adenosine triphosphatase reaction at 21 degrees and pH 8.0. Recent kinetic studies on this system have led to the proposal that the cleavage of ATP bound to myosin is reversible. This conclusion is based in part on the observation that when ATP is mixed with an excess of myosin active sites a small amount of tightly bound ATP exists whose life-time coincides with that of the myosin-product complex and implies these two species are in equilibrium during their decay. Previous oxygen exchange studies have shown that phosphate released as free product contains more than one oxygen atom from water. A rapid equilibration between myosin-bound ATP and a myosin-products complex can account for the extra water oxygen incorporation of the product phosphate. Such a model requires that the gamma-phosphoryl group of the bound ATP also exchanges its oxygen atoms with water. Results presented in this paper show that protein-bound ATP labeled in the three terminal oxygen atoms of the gamma-phosphoryl group with 18O exchanges about 75% of its label within 2 s of binding to the active site of myosin. This result provides chemical evidence for a model in which bound ATP undergoes a reversible reaction with water. Incomplete exchange may arise from kinetic and/or structural restraints on the mechanism and plausible models are discussed.

Acute starvation of adult rats resulted in a rise in the electroconvulsive threshold at 48 hours (P less than .10) and at 72 hours (P less than .01), but not at 24 hours. Biochemical correlates included (1) ketonemia and mild hypoglycemia in the blood; (2) a significant rise in the brain cytoplasmic phosphorylation potential and in the energy charge potential; (3) a shift in the brain cytoplasmic oxidation-reduction potential to a more oxidized state; (4) probable partial inhibitions in brain phosphofructokinase and pyruvate dehydrogenase; and (5) relatively small increases in brain sodium (4.1%), potassium (2.4%), and chloride (4.3%). No major differences were seen in brain water content or adenosine triphosphatase activity. The observed cerebral biochemical alterations are believed to be the consequence of increased ketone body utilization, although the precise relationship to the alteration in the electroconvulsive threshold remains unclear.

Ethacrynic acid (EA) was injected to rats with functional nephrectomy after a control period of steady-state bile flow sustained by taurocholate infusion. Biliary clearance of [14C]mannitol was measured in order to estimate canalicular bile flow and bile salt-independent fraction (BSIF). After EA infusion, bile flow increased by 56%; bile salt excretion rate decreased by 10%; electrolyte excretion rates all increased, principally Na+ and K+. Mannitol clearance increased in parallel with bile flow. The BSIF increased. EA was excreted into bile as a metabolite identified as the cysteine adduct of EA; its excretion rate was linearly correlated with the increment in bile flow. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that the biliary excretion of an EA derivative results in an osmotic water flow increasing the canalicular BSIF. Since EA ia a Na+-K+-ATPase inhibitor, it is necessary to reconsider the relationship between secretion of canalicular BSIF and active Na+ transport mediated by the Na+-K+-ATPase system.

The stimulation by calcium and magnesium of ATPase activity of isolated ghosts, of water-soluble protein (spectrin), and of residual vesicles, derived from normal erythrocytes and from hereditary spherocytes (H.S.), has been measured. The ATPase activity found in normal water-soluble protein (WSP) at low levels of calcium (0.1-2.0 mM) is essentially absent in H.S. water-soluble protein, but the ATPase activity with magnesium and with high levels of calcium (60-100 mM) is the same in H.S. and normal WSP. Compared to normal, H.S. ghosts have increased Mg2+-stimulated activity. This increased activity is retained by the sedimentable vesicles ("residue") after extraction of the ghosts with 0.025 mM EDTA. The Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase associated with the calcium pump is not significantly different in H.S.

A method is presented for obtaining the preparation of N+, K+-ATPase from the cattle brain. The specific activity of the preparation is 5 units (mu mole Pi per 1 min) per 1 mg of protein. A water-soluble derivate of carbodiimide is shown to inhibit reversibly both Na+, K+-ATPase and K+-phosphatase. ATP, Na+ and K+ manifest a protective effect against inhibition, and Na+ and K+ revealed a competition with the inhibitor for the enzyme. p-Chloromercuribenzoate inhibits irreversibly Na+, K+-ATPase and K+-phosphatase activities. The substrates ATP and p-nitrophenylphosphate protected these activities against inhibition. The phosphororganic compound O-n-butyl-S-(beta-ethyl-mercaptoethyl)-methyl thiophosphate has no significant effect on the Na+, K+-ATPase and K+-phosphatase activities.

Adenosine triphosphatase activity not dependent on sodium or potassium but inhibited by thiocyanate is present in broken-cell homogenates of eel gill and rat kidney. This enzymatic property is predominantly associated with mitochondria, although thiocyanate-inhibited ATPase can also be detected in microsomes with little or no mitochondrial contamination as measured by the activity of the mitochondrial marker enzyme succinic dehydrogenase. When eels are transferred from fresh to salf water, thus increasing active outward transport of chloride across the gill, the thiocyanate-inhibited ATPase of gill microsomes does not change, though the activities of succinic dehydrogenase and Na-K-ATPase in gill homogenates are augmented. The thiocyanate-inhibited ATPase of homogenates of outer renal medulla does not differ from that of renal cortex, in contrast to Na-k-atpase which is higher in renal medulla than in cortex. The data do not support a role for thiocyanate-inhibited ATPase in active chloride transport by epithelial tissues.

The mammalian intestine is capable of adjusting electrolyte and water transport to the diet by modifying not only total mucosal cell mass but also the functional properties of the absorbing cell. This was demonstrated in the rat cecum where oral application of the polymer polyethylene glycol induced epithelial cell hyperplasia and - functionally - a stimulation of active sodium transport per cell, a higher transmural electrical potential difference and an increased specific activity of the Na-K-ATPase.

The rats with chronic renal hypertension caused by constricting one renal artery, exhibit a decrease in the activity of Na-K-ATPase in the outer medulla of the "untouched" kidney, as compared to this activity in the kidneys of intact normotensive rats and in the "untouched" kidney of the rats where renal artery constriction did not result in hypertension. There were no differences between the control normotensive Wistar rats and the spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) in the prehypertensive and early hypertensive stages (at the age of 6-8 weeks) as far as the activities of Na-K-ATPase and oxidoreductases (SDH and LDH) in the renal cortex, the outer and inner medulla are concerned. The spontaneously hypertensive rats with chronic hypertension had at the age of 16-20 and 27-29 weeks lower activity of Na-K-ATPase, SDH, and LDH in the outer renal medulla than the control normotensive Wistar rats. The experimental results indicate that in chronic arterial hypertension there is a decrease in the activity of Na-K-ATPase, in the outer renal medulla, which suggests a reduction in the resorpo sodium and water.

High concentrations of sulfolipids (four fractions having different hexose/sulfate ratio), intense enzyme activity (ATPase, oxoreductases) and evidence of mucines (staining with PAS and Alcian blue) in intercellular spaces were found in the lachrymal glands of Caretta caretta and Malaclemys terrapin adapted to sea water. In addition, the supranuclear region of the gland cells in Malaclemys terrapin is filled with mucin granules. These biochemical and histochemical observations indicate that these glands have a function in salt secretion in both species and are also consistent with a function of mucous secretion exclusively in Malaclemys terrapin. Limited signs of hypotrophy are not accompanied by changes in concentrations of sulfolipids in Malaclemys terrapin adapted to fresh water; only the reactions for enzyme activities are less intense. The mucous secretion is not affected, whereas, in correlation with changes in salt secretion, the change in ATPase activity is mot conspicuous. The correlations between the different components of the gland and salt secretion are compared with salt glands of birds and elasmobranchs.
