The fluorescent probe 8-(dimethylamino)naphthalene-1-sulfonylphosphatidylserine (Dns-PS) was incorporated into purified lamb kidney Na+- and K+-stimulated adenosinetriphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.3) [(Na+,K+)-ATPase] by using a purified phospholipid exchange protein. Phospholipase C was used to reduce phospholipid content. Up to 40% of the phospholipid could be hydrolyzed with only 10% inhibition of the (Na+,K+)-ATPase, but when 67% of the phospholipid was hydrolyzed, the enzyme was inhibited 53%. To examine the effect of protein on the phospholipid bilayer, the fluorescent parameters of the probe incorporated into the enzyme preparation were contrasted with the same parameters for the probe incorporated into the total lipid extract of the preparation. The polarization of fluorescence of the probe in the lipid extract was 0.118 while in the enzyme preparation it was 0.218. This reflected a decrease in fluidity of the glycerol region of the phospholipid bilayer which was mediated by the protein. This effect increased as the phospholipid content of the (Na+,K+)-ATPase preparation was reduced so that with maximal phospholipid reduction the polarization of fluorescence was 0.262. The protein caused a decrease in the transition temperature from gel to fluid states of the bilayer detected by polarization of the probe. The midpoint temperature transition of the enzyme preparation decreased from 33 degrees C when all phospholipids were present to 20 degrees C when 67% of the phospholipids were hydrolyzed. This decrease was not observed for the lipid extract of these samples. A direct correlation between the (Na+,K+)-ATPase specific activity and the polarization of fluorescence of Dns-PS was found. The reduction in phospholipid content did not affect the steady-state level of phosphorylation of the enzyme by ATP but did affect the rate of dephosphorylation which would require conformational changes of the enzymes. The data showed that the fluidity of the phospholipid bilayer can modulate the activity of the (Na+,K+)-ATPase.

Control of the contraction/relaxation cycle in vascular smooth muscle is regulated by Ca2+ and the cyclic nucleotides, cAMP and cGMP. For the most part, the effectors of these intracellular messengers are the protein kinases. Four major protein kinases (myosin light chain kinase, protein kinase C, cAMP dependent protein kinase, and cGMP dependent protein kinase) have been identified in vascular smooth muscle. Substantial biochemical and physiological evidence exists supporting the involvement of Ca2+/calmodulin-mediated activation of myosin light chain kinase and phosphorylation of the 20,000 dalton P-light chain of myosin in the regulation of vascular contractile activity. However, alternative hypotheses exist which suggest that additional Ca2+ dependent regulatory mechanisms reside at other contractile protein sites. Calcium also activates protein kinase C, which requires phospholipid and diacylglycerol as co-factors instead of calmodulin. Protein kinase C also phosphorylates smooth muscle myosin P-light chain; however, phosphorylation occurs at a different site on the P-light chain and represses ATPase activity which has been stimulated by myosin light chain kinase-catalyzed phosphorylation. The precise physiological role of protein kinase C in modulating vascular smooth muscle contractile activity remains to be elucidated. Relaxation of vascular smooth muscle by some different relaxants is linked to either cAMP or cGMP formation. Correlative evidence also links activation of cAMP dependent protein kinase with relaxation. Two isozymes of cAMP dependent protein kinase exist in arterial smooth muscle; potential specific roles for each isozyme have not been elucidated. Mechanistically, relaxation mediated by both cyclic nucleotide-regulated protein kinases most likely involves primary effects on Ca2+ ion flux regulation rather than direct effects on contractile protein interactions. Activation of cGMP dependent protein kinase may be important in mediating the relaxant effects of endothelium derived relaxant factor or atrial natriuretic factor. Direct pharmacological modulation of smooth muscle vascular protein kinase activity represents an approach towards developing novel vasodilator agents. Various classes of agents, including phenothiazine antipsychotics, antidepressants, naphthalene sulfonamides, and certain lipophilic Ca2+ antagonists, inhibit myosin light chain kinase activity primarily by competition with the enzyme for Ca2+-calmodulin. However, additional inhibition via binding to the myosin P-light chain may also occur with some of these agents.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The role of calmodulin in the regulation of histamine-stimulated parietal cell function was studied in isolated rat parietal cells using [14C]aminopyrine uptake as a quantitative index of acid production. In enriched (77-87%) intact parietal cells the calmodulin antagonist naphthalene sulfonamide W 7 dose-dependently inhibited the response to 10(-4) M histamine (IC50: 2 X 10(-6) M). The mechanism of this inhibition was examined further with two other stimuli of H+-production: forskolin which directly activates the parietal cell adenylate cyclase without interacting at the histamine H2-receptor and dbcAMP which mimics the biological action of cAMP without preceding activation of adenylate cyclase. W 7 effectively inhibited the responses to 10(-4) M forskolin (IC50: 6 X 10(-7) M), 10(-3) M dbcAMP (IC50: 10(-6) M) and to 10(-2) M K+ (IC50: 3 X 10(-6) M). The action of W 7 followed non-competitive kinetics since the antagonist reduced the entire range of the concentration-response curves without shifting them rightwards towards higher concentrations of the respective stimulants. The effect of W 7 was reversed by washing the cells. ATP-induced [14C]aminopyrine uptake into digitonin-permeabilized oligomycin-inhibited parietal cells reflects H+-production independent of oxidative phosphorylation and was also inhibited by W 7 (IC50: 10(-5) M). Inhibition of K+-stimulated H+/K+-ATPase activity required even higher W 7-concentrations (IC50: 1.4 X 10(-4) M). Our data suggest that calmodulin might be involved in the intracellular mediation of the response to histamine. Between histamine-induced cAMP-generation and the H+-secreting tubulovesicular system W 7 seems to inhibit an intracellular step that finally activates the H+/K+-ATPase. Yet, direct inhibition of the ATPase requires W 7 concentrations of questionable specificity and is unlikely to be the mechanism behind the action of W 7 on the parietal cell response to histamine.

A variety of presumed anti-calmodulin (anti-CaM) drugs was tested for their potential inhibitory effects on the isolated, purified and reconstituted Ca2+-pump ATPase of human red blood cell membranes. Anti-CaM drugs inhibited the Ca2+-pump ATPase both in the absence and presence of added CaM. Qualitatively similar inhibition was observed in two different ATPase assay systems. In asolectin vesicles in the absence of added CaM trifluoperazine (TFP), N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalene- sulfonamide (W-7), vinblastine, dibucaine, imipramine, propranolol and dimethylpropranolol (UM-272) were all inhibitory. Potency of anti-CaM drugs was generally greater on the enzyme reconstituted in asolectin vesicles than on the enzyme reconstituted in phosphatidylcholine vesicles, either in the presence or absence of CaM. The results emphasize that anti-CaM drugs have actions other than to bind to CaM. Possible direct interaction of amphipathic cationic anti-CaM drugs with the Ca2+-pump ATPase and/or its lipid environment is suggested.

Auxin-binding proteins have been extracted from coleoptiles and primary leaves of maize and diffusion--reconstituted in phosphatidyl choline/partially-oxidized cholesterol membranes. Measurement of membrane ion flux at 25 mV external potential with buffered KCl electrolyte was performed for the receptor support matrix and various combinations of ATP, receptor and naphthalene-1-acetic acid. Addition of the three components in any order results in a substantial increase in current with a limit-of-detection for auxin of about 10(-7)M. The pH-dependence of the response is consistent with previous suggestions that an ATPase pump acts to translocate protons in the presence of K+ and Mg2+ and that the pump can be activated by auxin. This work provides the first direct link between the binding of a plant hormone to a putative receptor and the evocation of a biochemical response.

The purified, soluble F1-ATPase was modified by several covalently reacting inhibitors, either known or considered to bind to the active site bearing beta-subunit, to cause partial inhibition up to 99%. The modified enzyme was then reconstituted in the presence of OSCP (oligomycin sensitivity conferring protein) with submitochondrial particles (SMP) almost completely (greater than 99%) denuded of active F1-ATPase and was assayed for oligomycin-sensitive ATPase and oxidative phosphorylation activities. The inhibitors used were 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (FDNB), N-(ethoxycarbonyl)-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline (EEDQ), 1-cyclohexyl-3-(2-morpholinoethyl)carbodiimide metho-p-toluenesulfonate (CMCD), quinacrine mustard (QM), 5-(dimethylamino)-naphthalene-1-sulfonyl chloride (dansyl-Cl), 5'-[p-(fluoro-sulfonyl)benzoyl]adenosine (FSBA), and N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD). The SMP reconstituted with unmodified F1 exhibited oxidative phosphorylation and oligomycin-sensitive ATPase (in the presence of uncouplers) activities as high as 500 nmol min-1 mg-1 and 8 mumol min-1 mg-1, respectively. The systems reconstituted with F1 modified to cause various degrees of inhibition with FDNB, EEDQ, CMCD, QM, and dansyl-Cl exhibited the same degree of inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation and oligomycin-sensitive ATPase activities as the inhibition of the ATPase activity of the modified F1 before reconstitution. The systems reconstituted with FSBA-modified F1 showed the following relative degrees of inhibition: oxidative phosphorylation greater than oligomycin-sensitive ATPase of particles greater than ATPase of soluble F1. In contrast, the systems reconstituted with DCCD-modified F1 showed much greater inhibition of oligomycin-sensitive ATPase than of oxidative phosphorylation activity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

A Mg2+-induced change of the (Na+ and K+)-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase (Na+,K+)-ATPase) from Electrophorus electricus was investigated by kinetics and fluorescence techniques. Binding of Mg2+ to a low affinity site(s) caused inhibition of (Na+,K+)-ATPase activity, an effect which was antagonized by both Na+ and ATP. Mg2+ also caused inhibition of K+-dependent dephosphorylation of the enzyme without inhibiting either (Na+)-ATPase activity or Na+-dependent phosphorylation. Mg2+ also induced a 5 to 6% enhancement in the fluorescence intensity of enzyme labeled with the fluorescent sulfhydryl reagent, 2-(4-maleimidylanilino)naphthalene-6-sulfonate. As in the case of Mg2+ inhibition of activity, the affinity for Mg2+ as an inducing agent for this effect was significantly reduced by both Na+ and ATP, suggesting that the same change was being monitored in both cases. The Mg2+ effect was reduced by both Na+ and ATP, suggesting that the same change was being monitored in both cases. The Mg2+ effect was reduced in magnitude by ouabain and prevented by oligomycin, specific inhibitors of the enzyme. In addition, K+ (and cations that substitute for K+ in supporting activity) induced a 3 to 4% enhancement in fluorescence intensity in the presence of Na+, Mg2+, and ATP, although the K+ and Mg2+ effects appeared to be different on the basis of their excitation spectra. The K+ effect was inhibited by ouabain and occurred with a rate greater than the rate of turnover of the enzyme, permitting its involvement in the catalytic cycle.

The fluorescent maleimide derivatives, 2-(4'-maleimidylanilino)naphthalene 6-sulfonic acid (Mal-ANS) and N-(1-pyrene)-maleimide (Mal-pyrene), both alkylate sulfhydryl groups on the alpha subunit of the (Na,K)-ATPase to inhibit (Na,K)-ATPase and p-nitrophenyl phosphatase activities and phosphoenzyme formation. Reaction of the enzyme with Mal-pyrene, but not with Mal-ANS, also inhibits MgPi- and Mg.ATP.Na-supported [3H]ouabain-binding to the enzyme. Mal-pyrene and Mal-ANS react, in part, with different sulfhydryl groups on the enzyme protein. On the average, the sulfhydryl groups which react with Mal-pyrene are located in a more shielded or hydrophobic environment than are those which react with Mal-ANS. It is the reaction of Mal-pyrene with sulfhydryl groups, which are not accessible to Mal-ANS, that results in the decreased [3H]ouabain-binding capacity of the (Na,K)-ATPase. The results indicate that phosphorylation of (Na,K)-ATPase is not required for Mg.ATP.Na-stimulated ouabain binding, and suggest that the ATP and sodium sites which modulate the interaction of ouabain with the (Na,K)-ATPase may be different from those which promote phosphorylation.

In vitro effects of the coronary vasodilator diltiazem on rat erythrocytes and liposomes were studied in comparison with propranolol and pentoxifylline. Diltiazem improved the deformability of rat erythrocytes, reduced the viscosity of rat erythrocyte suspensions, and protected the erythrocyte against hypotonic hemolysis at concentrations above 10(-4) M, 10(-5) M and 5 X 10(-7) M, respectively. Diltiazem at 5 X 10(-4) M also improved the impaired deformability of ATP-depleted erythrocytes, whereas it affected neither the adenine nucleotide level nor the phosphorylation of spectrin in the erythrocytes. Diltiazem enhanced the interaction of 1-anilino-naphthalene-8-sulfonate, a fluorescent probe, with erythrocyte ghosts at concentrations above 5 X 10(-6) M and, above 5 X 10(-5) M, inhibited the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity of the erythrocyte ghosts. Diltiazem reduced the microviscosity of both erythrocyte ghosts and liposomes prepared from rat erythrocyte lipids. Diltiazem induced aggregation of the liposomes prepared from rat erythrocyte lipids, phosphatidylserine or phosphatidylinositol, but it did not affect the liposomes prepared from a mixture of phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine (1:1). I-Diltiazem, a stereo-isomer of diltiazem, exhibited equipotent effects, compared with diltiazem, on these parameters. Propranolol showed similar properties, but pentoxifylline shared none of the above properties, except that it improved the deformability of erythrocytes. From these results, it is suggested that diltiazem may affect the erythrocyte membrane by interacting with acidic phospholipids and thus reduce the microviscosity of the membrane, improve erythrocyte deformability and protects the erythrocyte against hypotonic hemolysis.

The mechanism of action of gastrin was investigated using cytochemical quantitation of hydroxyl ion production (HIP) in guinea pig gastric oxyntic mucosa. The reaction depends upon the trapping of OH ions produced during gastric stimulation and is blocked by the benzimidazole, Hassle 149/94, which inhibits the K+ + H+-ATPase and by acetazolamide, an inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase activity. It is thus a measure of hydroxyl ions produced during stimulation of the oxyntic cell and reflects upon hydrogen ion production. Gastrin (2.5 X 10(-16) -2.5 X 10(-12) M) caused a linear dose-dependent stimulation of HIP in the oxyntic cells. The response was biphasic, with an early peak at 90 s and a secondary rise at 240 s, which persisted for 10 min. Natural human gastrin (sulfated and nonsulfated) and the active COOH-terminal octapeptide fragment of gastrin stimulated HIP, whereas the biologically inert NH2-terminal (1-13) fragment of gastrin had no effect. The activation of oxyntic cell HIP by gastrin was neutralized by an antiserum directed towards the COOH-terminus of gastrin and not by nonimmune serum. Cimetidine (10(-5) M) blocked 25% and atropine (10(-5) M) had no effect on gastrin-stimulated HIP. EGTA (10(-3) M) and LaCl3 (10(-3) M) inhibited the action of gastrin by 67 and 52%, respectively. The calmodulin antagonists, trifluoperazine (10(-5) M), pimozide (10(-5) M), and the naphthalene sulfonamides, W-7 and W-13 (10(-5) M), inhibited gastrin-stimulated HIP by 45.6 38.5, 42.3, and 37.2%, respectively. Higher doses of W-7 and W-13 (10(-4) M) inhibited gastrin-stimulated HIP by 83 and 67%. The Ca2+ ionophore, A23187 (10(-4) M), stimulated HIP. Thus, it appears that gastrin stimulation of HIP is complex. 25% of its action is via a histamine-dependent pathway. 45% of its action is dependent upon extracellular Ca2+. Its action is also in part dependent upon a Ca2+/calmodulin mechanism.
