Ultrastructural studies on the Malpighian tubules of Glomeris marginata (Villers) reveal considerable morphological differences between the upper, fluid secreting, segment, and the lower segment which is at present of unknown function. Previous reports have shown that the upper tubule has a high permeability to compounds of high molecular weight. This may be accounted for by the fact that the epithelium shows very extensive intercellular spaces which are linked directly to junctions apparently specialised to provide a low resistance extracellular pathway between the haemocoel and the tubule lumen. Histochemical studies on the localisation of phosphatase enzymes reveal intracellular vesicles with acid phosphatase activity. The basal labyrinth of the lower tubule exhibits considerable alkaline phosphatase activity which is apparently identical in location to the enzyme revealed by two different ATPase localisation techniques.

The dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-sensitive ATPase from spinach chloroplast has been isolated. On sodium dodecyl sulfate gels, seven different polypeptides were seen. Five of these polypeptides coincided with the CF1 subunits, a 7,500-dalton peptide was identified as the proteolipid which interacts with [14C]dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, and there was a 15,500-dalton hydrophobic polypeptide with unknown function. In two-dimentional gels, two additional peptides were resolved, one 17,500 daltons (co-migrating in sodium dodecyl sulfate gels with subunit delta) and one 13,500 daltons (co-migrating with subunit epsilon). Reconstitution was obtained by freezing and thawing the complex with a crude mixture of phospholipids. After reconstitution the complex catalyzed 32P1-ATP exchange (rates of 200 to 400 nmoles x mg-1 x min-1) and ATP formation during acid-to-base transition. These reactions were inhibited by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and uncouplers. Uncouplers at low concentrations stimulated and at high concentrations inhibited the Mg2+-ATPase activity. ATP hydrolysis and 32P1-ATP exchange were catalyzed by the complex in the presence of either Mg2+ or Mn2+ but not with Ca2+ or Co2+. ATP and GTP were substrates for the exchange reaction but not ADP or CTP.

The highly purified yeast mRNA capping enzyme is composed of two separate chains of 52 (alpha) and 80 kDa (beta), responsible for the activities of mRNA guanylyltransferase and RNA 5'-triphosphatase, respectively (Itoh, N., Yamada, H., Kaziro, Y., and Mizumoto, K. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 1989-1995). The gene encoding the mRNA guanylyltransferase subunit (alpha subunit), CEG1, has been isolated by immunological screening of a yeast genomic expression library in lambda gt11 with polyclonal antibodies directed against purified yeast capping enzyme. The identity of CEG1 was confirmed by epitope selection and by expressing the gene in Escherichia coli to give a catalytically active mRNA guanylyltransferase. The gene is present in one copy per haploid genome, and encodes a polypeptide of 459 amino acid residues. From its primary structure as well as its mRNA size, it was concluded that the alpha and the beta subunits of yeast mRNA capping enzyme are encoded by two separate genes, not as a fused protein. CEG1 is located on the chromosome VII by a pulse-field gel electrophoresis. Gene disruption experiment indicated that CEG1 is essential for the growth of yeast. We have also found another open reading frame (ORF2) which lies in close proximity to CEG1 in our clones and encodes a 450 amino acid-polypeptide of yet unknown function.

Analysis of the mitochondrial DNA of a liverwort Marchantia polymorpha by electron microscopy and restriction endonuclease mapping indicated that the liverwort mitochondrial genome was a single circular molecule of about 184,400 base-pairs. We have determined the complete sequence of the liverwort mitochondrial DNA and detected 94 possible genes in the sequence of 186,608 base-pairs. These included genes for three species of ribosomal RNA, 29 genes for 27 species of transfer RNA and 30 open reading frames (ORFs) for functionally known proteins (16 ribosomal proteins, 3 subunits of H(+)-ATPase, 3 subunits of cytochrome c oxidase, apocytochrome b protein and 7 subunits of NADH ubiquinone oxidoreductase). Three ORFs showed similarity to ORFs of unknown function in the mitochondrial genomes of other organisms. Furthermore, 29 ORFs were predicted as possible genes by using the index of G + C content in first, second and third letters of codons (42.0 +/- 10.9%, 37.0 +/- 13.2% and 26.4 +/- 9.4%, respectively) obtained from the codon usages of identified liverwort genes. To date, 32 introns belonging to either group I or group II intron have been found in the coding regions of 17 genes including ribosomal RNA genes (rrn18 and rrn26), a transfer RNA gene (trnS) and a pseudogene (psi nad7). RNA editing was apparently lacking in liverwort mitochondria since the nucleotide sequences of the liverwort mitochondrial DNA were well-conserved at the DNA level.

The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of skeletal muscle contains a 53 kDa glycoprotein of unknown function, as well as the (Ca(2+)-Mg2+)-ATPase. It has been suggested that the glycoprotein couples the hydrolysis of ATP by the ATPase to the transport of calcium. It has been shown that if SR vesicles are solubilized in cholate in media containing low K+ concentrations followed by reconstitution, then vesicles are formed containing the glycoprotein and with ATP hydrolysis coupled to Ca2+ accumulation, as shown by a large stimulation of ATPase activity by addition of A23187. In contrast, if SR vesicles are solubilized in media containing a high concentration of K+, then the vesicles that are produced following reconstitution lack the glycoprotein and show low stimulation by A23187 (Leonards, K.S. and Kutchai, H. (1985) Biochemistry 24, 4876-4884). We show that the effect of K+ on reconstitution does not follow from any changes in the amount of glycoprotein but rather from an effect of K+ on the detergent properties of cholate. In low K+ media, the cmc of cholate is high, cholate is a relatively poor detergent and incomplete solubilization results in 'reconstitution' of vesicles with the correct orientation of ATPase molecules. In high K+ media, the cmc of cholate is reduced and more complete solubilization of the SR leads to a true reconstitution with the formation of vesicles with a random orientation of ATPase molecules. The experiments provide no evidence for an effect of the glycoprotein on the (Ca(2+)-Mg2+)-ATPase.

In intestinal microvilli, the 110K-calmodulin complex is the major component of the cross-bridges which connect the core bundle of actin filaments to the membrane. Our previous work showed that the 110-kDa polypeptide can be divided into three functional domains: a 78-kDa fragment that contains the ATPase activity and the ATP-reversible F-actin-binding site, a 12-kDa fragment required for binding calmodulin molecules, and a terminal 20-kDa domain of unknown function [Coluccio, L. M., & Bretscher, A. (1988) J. Cell Biol. 106, 367-374]. By analysis of limited alpha-chymotryptic cleavage products, we now show that the molecular organization is very similar to that described for the S1 fragment of myosin. The catalytic site was identified by photoaffinity labeling with [5,6-3H]UTP, and fragments binding F-actin were identified by cosedimentation assays. Cleavage of the 78-kDa fragment yielded major fragments of 32 and 45 kDa, followed by cleavage of the 45-kDa fragment to a 40-kDa fragment. Of these, only the 32-kDa fragment was labeled by [5,6-3H]UTP. Physical characterization revealed that the 45- and 32-kDa fragments exist as a complex that can bind F-actin, whereas the 40-kDa/32-kDa complex cannot bind actin. We conclude that the catalytic site is located in the 32-kDa fragment and the F-actin-binding site is present in the 45-kDa fragment; the ability to bind actin is lost upon further cleavage of the 45-kDa fragment to 40 kDa. Peptide sequence analysis revealed that the 45-kDa fragment lies within the molecule and suggests that the 32-kDa fragment is the amino terminus.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

We have examined the 5' end of the noncoding region of the genome of a human papillomavirus, HPV-11, for regulatory elements using permissive host cells. This region of unknown function in the upstream regulatory region (URR) is known to have unusual DNA structure and frequently contains rearrangements which are associated with some more virulent isolates. This 5' 269-bp fragment was found to exhibit both specific DNA-protein binding using laryngeal papilloma protein extracts and enhancer activity in normal and papillomatous primary laryngeal cells. The viral DNA flanks the L1 open reading frame and does not contain the viral E2 binding site. Three distinct protein binding sites are contained in a 50-bp region of the fragment. This fragment, as a whole, functions as an enhancer in primary laryngeal and papilloma cells when ligated to the SV40 promoter and SV40 T-antigen gene. We conclude that this part of the noncoding region of the papillomaviruses has elements characteristic of regulatory elements in cells permissive for infection by these viruses.

Fifty to eighty-five percent of the ATPase activity in different preparations of cholinergic synaptic vesicles isolated from Torpedo electric organ was half-inhibited by 7 microM vanadate. This activity is due to a recently purified phosphointermediate, or P-type, ATPase, Acetylcholine (ACh) active transport by the vesicles was stimulated about 35% by vanadate, demonstrating that the P-type enzyme is not the proton pump responsible for ACh active transport. Nearly all of the vesicle ATPase activity was inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide. The P-type ATPase could be protected from N-ethylmaleimide inactivation by vanadate, and subsequently reactivated by complexation of vanadate with deferoxamine. The inactivation-protection pattern suggests the presence of a vanadate-insensitive, N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive ATPase consistent with a vacuolar, or V-type, activity expected to drive ACh active transport. ACh active transport was half-inhibited by 5 microM N-ethylmaleimide, even in the presence of vanadate. The presence of a V-type ATPase was confirmed by Western blots using antisera raised against three separate subunits of chromaffin granule vacuolar ATPase I. Both ATPase activities, the P-type polypeptides, and the 38-kilodalton polypeptide of the V-type ATPase precisely copurify with the synaptic vesicles. Solubilization of synaptic vesicles in octaethyleneglycol dodecyl ether detergent results in several-fold stimulation of the P-type activity and inactivation of the V-type activity, thus explaining why the V-type activity was not detected previously during purification of the P-type ATPase. It is concluded that cholinergic vesicles contain a P-type ATPase of unknown function and a V-type ATPase which is the proton pump.

The alpha and alpha(+) isoforms of Na+,K(+)-ATPase were isolated from the kidney and brain of rats and purified. Their antisera were raised to analyze the alpha isoforms in rat tissues. We found that the submandibular gland (SMG) contains a new immunoreactive alpha subunit isoform, designated alpha(S) in this report, in addition to alpha identical with those found in the kidney or brain. The new alpha(S) strongly reacted with anti-alpha-antiserum but to a much lesser extent with anti-alpha(+)-antiserum. The alpha(S) had a slightly lower molecular weight (approximately 90,000) than the brain and kidney alpha isoforms. Various fractions of SMG tissues were added to the SMG microsomes and incubated in order to test whether or not the alpha(S) is formed artificially; no increase of alpha(S) was observed by these treatments, suggesting that the alpha(S) was not the product formed from alpha during the preparation of microsome sample, but was rather a protein originally present in the SMG. The alpha(S) protein was not detected in the SMG of 2- or 5-week-old rats, but it gradually increased in rats older than 8 weeks, reaching the maximum in 30-week-old animals. The Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity in the SMG increased concomitantly with the increase of alpha(S), indicating that Na+,K(+)-ATPase comprising alpha(S) also shows enzyme activity; it is speculated that alpha(S) may have some unique and unknown function(s) in older rats.

We have identified the proteins specifically expressed in multidrug-resistant tumor cells and studied the functions of these proteins. The 170-to 180-kDa membrane glycoprotein (P-glycoprotein) is an ATPase which works as a pump molecule transporting chemotherapeutic drugs outside the resistant cells. The 22-kDa soluble protein (sorcin) is a calcium binding protein of unknown function. The 85-kDa membrane protein is specifically expressed in adriamycin-resistant cells and induced by treatment with adriamycin, suggesting a mechanism unique for adriamycin resistance. Our monoclonal antibodies to these proteins may well become useful tools for the diagnosis of clinical drug resistance.
