DNA-dependent ATPase IV has been purified to near homogeneity from the Novikoff rat hepatoma. The enzyme is devoid of DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase, exonuclease, endonuclease, phosphomonoesterase, 3'- or 5'-phosphodiesterase, polynucleotide kinase, protein kinase, topoisomerase, helicase or DNA reannealing activities at a detection level of 10(-5) to 10(-7) relative to the ATPase activity. The enzyme is a monomer of Mr 110,000, has a sedimentation coefficient of 5.9 S, a Stokes radius of 40 A and a frictional coefficient of 1.32. In the presence of Mg2+ ion and a polynucleotide effector, ATPase IV hydrolyzes either ATP or dATP to the nucleoside diphosphate plus Pi. Other ribo- or deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates are not substrates. ATPase IV utilizes double-stranded DNA and single-stranded DNA as effector; however, it does not utilize poly(dT). The Km for dsDNA or ssDNA is 2.2 microM (nucleotide). A variety of ATP analogues were found to be competitive inhibitors of ATPase IV.

The localization of the K-NPPase, ALPase and Mg-ATPase activities in the stria vascularis of the guinea pig cochlea was ultracytochemically studied. The K-NPPase reflecting the Na-K-ATPase activity was localized on the cytoplasmic side of the deeply infolded basolateral plasma membrane of the marginal cells. On the other hand, activities of ALPase and Mg-ATPase were found in the intercellular spaces between the marginal and the intermediate or the basal cells. The surface of the stria vascularis facing to endolymph showed only the Mg-ATPase activity. The ALPase activity localized also around the capillaries. The mechanism of the K and Na transport was discussed.

Cytochemical methods for the demonstration of p-nitrophenylphosphatase (p-NPPase) at the electron-microscopic level were applied to avian osteoclasts to elucidate some of the functional differences among ruffled border, other membrane systems, and cellular organelles. The localization of p-NPPase activity occurred in mitochondria, in lysosomes, and on the cytoplasmic side of the ruffled-border membrane. Enzymatic activity in the ruffled-border membrane was sensitive to ouabain and was partially dependent on potassium. Thus, Na+,K+-ATPase, the proposed sodium pump, appears to be present in the osteoclast ruffled border. The activity in ruffled border occurred only when osteoclasts were attached to bone. Following calcitonin treatment many osteoclasts were detached from the bone surface and lacked reaction product along the ruffled-border membrane. The lysosomal p-NPPase activity was not sensitive to ouabain and was distinct from that of other lysosomal phosphatases. The p-NPPase activity in mitochondria was not inhibited by ouabain but was sensitive to duramycin. The mitochondrial p-NPPase may, therefore, represent the mitochondrial proton pump.

A cytochemical study of gastric K+-stimulated p-nitrophenylphosphatase (K-NPPase) activity, corresponding to a K+-stimulated phosphoprotein phosphatase of H-K-ATPase system, has been made by a new cytochemical method. Sections of fixed guinea pig gastric mucosa in a mixture of 2% paraformaldehyde and 0.25% glutaraldehyde, were incubated with the incubation medium (1.0 M glycine-0.1 M KOH buffer, pH 9.0, 2.5 ml; 1.1 M KCl, 0.5 ml; 10 mM lead citrate dissolved in 50 mM KOH, 4 ml; levamisole, 6.0 mg; dimethyl sulfoxide, 2.0 ml; 0.1 M p-nitrophenylphosphate (Mg-salt), 1.0 ml; ouabain, 73.0 mg) for 30 min at room temperature. Under a light microscope the specific gastric K-NPPase reaction was distributed only in the parietal cells of the fundic glands. The electron microscopic cytochemistry showed that the gastric K-NPPase activity was localized on the membrane lining the apical surfaces, secretory canaliculi and tubulovesicles. On the other hand, ouabain-sensitive K-NPPase activity (Na-K-ATPase) was demonstrated to localize only in the basolateral membrane of parietal cells with Mayahara's method. These findings support the interrelationships between the apical surface membrane, secretory canalicular membrane and tubulovesicles, and the functional differentiation of the membrane between the secretory membrane and basolateral membrane.

We have developed a new cytochemical method for detecting the ouabain-sensitive, potassium-dependent p-nitrophenylphosphatase (K-NPPase) activity of the sodium-potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase (Na-K ATPase) complex. The incubation medium contains p-nitrophenylphosphate (p-NPP) as substrate, cerium chloride as capture agent, Tricine buffer, MgCl2, and KCl. Tricine buffer protected against the medium turbidity caused by non-enzymatic reaction at pH 7.5. Biochemically, the accumulation of p-nitrophenol and phosphate in the reaction precipitate was proportionally related to the enzyme concentration. Ultracytochemically, the reaction products of the K-NPPase activity were localized as fine and uniform electron-dense deposits in the cytoplasmic side of specialized basolateral plasma membranes of cells of kidney distal convoluted tubules, secretory cells of salt gland, and marginal cells of stria vascularis. This method has the advantage of being useful at physiological pH.

We studied the localization of Na+, K+-ATPase activity in the chick cochlea, utilizing a cytochemical method of K+-p-nitrophenylphosphatase (K+-NPPase), and found that the enzyme activity was limited to the dark cells of the tegmentum vasculosum (TV). Our present results indicate that the dark cells of the TV play an essential role in the maintenance of the ionic composition of the cochlear endolymph.

The localization of ouabain-sensitive, K+-dependent p-nitrophenylphosphatase (K+-NPPase) activity of the Na+, K+-ATPase complex was studied ultracytochemically in the squirrel monkey inner ear. In the stria vascularis the reaction products showing K+-NPPase activity were limited to the cytoplasmic side of the plasmalemmal infoldings of the marginal cells. In the spiral prominence, a weak reaction was also found on the cytoplasmic process of the stromal cell, while no or little reaction was detected on the spiral prominence epithelium. In the dark cells of vestibular labyrinth the reaction products were observed on the basolateral interdigitation of the plasmalemma. In contrast, no reaction was observed on the apical cell surface. K+-NPPase activity was most intense in the strial marginal cell, followed by the dark cell of the ampulla and the utricle. The present results revealed that the dark cells in the vestibular labyrinth are involved in endolymph homeostasis.

Gastric K+-NPPase represents a partial reaction of the (K+-H+)ATPase system, which is considered to be the proton pump in mammalian parietal cells. In the present paper, K+-NPPase activity was cytochemically studied by the method of Mayahara et al. (1980) in gastric glands of birds, amphibia, and mammals, either in the resting state induced by cimetidine or after stimulation of HCl secretion by histamine. The gastric K+-NPPase cytochemical reaction was localized only in oxyntic cells of the gastric mucosa in the three species tested. The subcellular distribution of the K+-NPPase reaction product drastically changes with the secretory state of HCl. In resting cells, the K+-NPPase staining is associated with the membranes of the endocellular tubular system while in HCl-secreting cells, it is associated with the plasma membrane of the elaborate secretory surface characteristic of this functional state. The above results demonstrate that the same enzymatic activity, which is associated with the gastric proton pump, is present in both membranous systems of the oxyntic cell secretory pole. This fact supports the proposal that the tubular system represents a membrane reserve that inserts the proton pump into the luminal plasma membrane in vertebrate oxyntic cells under the action of HCl secretagogues.

The activity of plasma membrane marker enzymes which are involved in purine metabolism (5'-nucleotidase, alkaline 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase), in active ion transport (Na-K-Mg-adenosine triphosphatase, ouabain-sensitive Na-K-adenosine triphosphatase), in aminoacid transport (gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase), and in basic physiologic functions (alkaline phosphomonoesterase) were assayed in mononuclear cells isolated from peripheral blood of normal donors and of patients with primary immunodeficiency. Irrespective of the clinical classification of the immunodeficiency, the cells of patients were characterized by significantly diminished 5'-nucleotidase and to a certain extent by lower alkaline phosphomonoesterase activities. Average activity levels of other enzymes were similar in cells of patients and controls, but scattering was more pronounced in the first group. Determination of substrate affinity revealed different kinetic properties of 5'-nucleotidase in cells from patients and normal donors; however, the extent of inhibition by beta-glycerophosphate or alpha, beta-adenosine-methylene diphosphate was comparable for both types of cells. The presence of inhibitory compounds in patients' serum was excluded by mixing experiments. When activities of the various plasma-membrane-associated enzymes were compared with each other, significant correlations emerged in normal lymphocytes. Most of these correlations were absent in cell membranes of immunodeficient patients. The findings indicate that the plasma membrane of lymphocytes from patients with immunodeficiency may be characterized by an altered distribution of enzymatic constituents.

A plasma membrane fraction from the rat parotid gland has been prepared by a procedure which selectively enriches for large membrane sheets. This fraction appears to have preserved several ultrastructural features of the acinar cell surface observed in situ. Regions of membrane resembling the acinar luminal border appear as compartments containing microvillar invaginations, bounded by elements of the junctional complex, and from which basolateral membranes extend beyond the junctional complex either to contact other apical compartments or to terminate as free ends. Several additional morphological features of the apical compartments suggest that they are primarily derived from the surface of acinar cells, rather than from the minority of other salivary gland cell types. Enzymatic activities characteristically associated with other cellular organelles are found at only low levels in the plasma membrane fraction. The fraction is highly enriched in two enzyme activities--K+ -dependent p-nitrophenyl phosphatase (K+ -NPPase, shown to be Na+/K+ adenosine triphosphatase; 20-fold) and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGTPase; 26-fold)--both known to mark plasma membranes in other tissues. These activities exhibit different patterns of recovery during fractionation, suggesting their distinct distributions among parotid cellular membranes. Secretion granule membranes also exhibit GGTPase, but no detectable K+ -NPPase. Since Na+/K+ adenosine triphosphatase and GGTPase, respectively, mark the basolateral and apical cellular surfaces in other epithelia, we hypothesize that these two enzymes mark distinct domains in the parotid plasmalemma, and that GGTPase, as the putative apical marker, may signify a compositional overlap between the two types of membranes which fuse during exocytosis.
