We have previously shown that the mos gene product, p40mos, produced in Escherichia coli binds ATP and has ATPase activity. In the present study, we investigated the DNA-binding properties of p40mos and two mos deletion mutant proteins. Nitrocellulose blot protein-DNA binding assays showed that p40mos binds DNA in the presence of Mg2+-ATP and certain other nucleoside triphosphates. Ninety percent of the p40mos-bound DNA is dissociated if the complex is washed in the presence of 1 M NaCl or in the absence of ATP. p40mos-DNA binding is not observed in the presence of AMP or the nonhydrolyzable ATP analog adenosine 5'-[beta, gamma-methylene]-triphosphate; however, in the presence of ADP, p40mos binds DNA at 20% of the level that is observed with ATP. An N-terminal-deletion mutant protein, p19mos, has no DNA-binding activity, whereas a C-terminal-deletion mutant protein, p25mos, does. p25mos contains the ATP-binding domain, binds DNA in the presence of either ADP or ATP, and shows 5% and 45% binding (relative to that in the presence of ATP) in the presence of AMP and adenosine 5'-[beta, gamma-methylene]triphosphate, respectively. These results suggest that the N-terminal domain of p40mos is responsible for nucleoside triphosphate-mediated DNA binding. We also observed differential histone-DNA binding in the presence and absence of ATP.

Rat stimulated heavy gastric membranes enriched with (H+-K+)-ATPase, a marker for the apical membrane of the parietal cell, displayed a 32P-histone-dephosphorylating activity which appeared to be physically copurified with, but functionally independent of, the ATPase. The protein phosphatase activity was optimal at pH 7.5 and was inhibited by fluoride (50 mM), inorganic phosphate (50 mM), and p-chloromercuribenzoate (0.1 mM), but was insensitive to vanadate (1 mM). The 32P-phosphoproteins in the heavy gastric membranes were also dephosphorylated, apparently by their own membrane-bound phosphatase in the presence of Mg2+ at millimolar concentrations, which is likely to enhance membrane-membrane interaction. Heavy gastric membrane vesicles incubated with Mg2+ (2 mM) exhibited no alterations in K+-dependent ATP-hydrolyzing activity, Cl permeability, and protein and lipid compositions, but irreversibly lost the ATP, K+-dependent H+-pumping activity. Since valinomycin, a K+-specific ionophore, restored the intravesicular acidifying activity and an inhibitor of the protein phosphatase, inorganic phosphate, largely blocked the Mg2+-induced change in the membrane transport function, it is reasonable to propose that the phosphatase action on certain membrane proteins, possibly the putative K+ transporter or regulatory proteins, selectively decreases K+-conductance in the apical membranes of gastric parietal cells.

The purification and properties of a protein serine kinase (PK-P) extracted with Triton X-100 from membranes of bakers' yeast are described. The enzyme is virtually inactive unless either a histone or a heat-stable polypeptide from yeast membranes and Mg2+ are added. Other divalent cations substitute for Mg2+ poorly or not at all; most of them, including Mn2+, inhibit when added in the presence of 5 mM Mg2+. The enzyme is unstable but can be stabilized by addition of 0.1% Triton X-100 and 20% glycerol. The final preparation shows, on silver-stained electrophoresis gels, two major bands (Mr 41,000 and 35,000). According to gel filtration the molecular weight of the active protein is about 75,000. Of the two subunits, only the smaller one appears to be autophosphorylated. In addition to casein, the enzyme phosphorylates several proteins including the H+-ATPase (Mr 100,000) in the yeast plasma membrane. In order to demonstrate the phosphorylation of the ATPase (up to 0.9 equivalents), exposure of the latter to an acid phosphatase was required. Other phosphorylated proteins include mRNA cap-binding protein from mammalian erythrocytes and yeast, a glucocorticoid receptor protein, and a preparation of the guanine nucleotide-binding proteins Gi and Go from brain. A partial purification of a natural activator from yeast plasma membranes is described.

In the heart the interaction of the thyroid hormones, the catecholamines and the effect of the beta-blocker was studied. The binding of the radioactive noradrenalin (3H-NA) was higher in the particles of the thyreotoxic myocardium of the dog got by centrifugation at 1,000 and 78,000 g. The 3H-NA-binding was inhibited with propranolol, isoprenalin and in lower concentrations with trimepranol in dogs and also in rats. In the myocardium of the thyreotoxic dogs 3H-NA was less superseded with isoprenalin, in the myocardium of thyreotoxic rats less with non-active norarenalin in comparison to euthyroid animals. The thyreotoxicosis caused an increase of the activities of phosphorylase, of the lipases, of the calcium-dependent ATPase, the protein kinase in presence of histone, further a decrease of the activity of adenyl cyclase, particularly in presence of sodium fluoride and a decrease of the concentration of the cyclic adenosine monophosphate in the myocardium of the rats and dogs, respectively. The pharmacological thyreotoxicosis decreased the concentration of the heart glycogen. This decrease was inhibited by the beta-blocker trimepranol, but not by the alpha-blocker phentolamine. Three possibilities of the explanation of the findings of this complex study are cited. The influence of the thyroid hormones and beta-blockers 1. on the transport and calcium metabolism, 2. on the synthesis of the heart proteins, 3. on the backbinding control of the hormonal effect at cellular level.

The inhibitory action of the flavonoid quercetin has been examined on the calcium-transport ATPase of synaptosomal vesicles and compared to that of two other flavonoids, morin and rutin. We have found that while quercetin caused a 50% inhibition of calcium transport at a concentration of 15 microM, morin and rutin had similar effects at concentrations of about 200 microM. A similar order of potency was observed also for ATP hydrolysis, though at higher concentrations. Quercetin also strongly inhibited phosphorylation of membrane proteins by ATP in synaptosomal vesicles. Rutin and morin had an almost negligible effect on membrane protein phosphorylation. The order of inhibitory potency of the flavonoids on the Ca2+-transport ATPase from synaptosomal vesicles: quercetin greater than morin greater than rutin, could be linked to their possible solubility in the membrane lipid phase since: (1) it paralleled their partitioning between a mixture of oil and water; (2) it paralleled their uptake from the reaction mixture by synaptosomal vesicles and phosphatidylcholine liposomes; (3) they had almost equal potency as inhibitors of the water soluble system of histone phosphorylation by protein kinase.

A significant release of inorganic phosphate from ATP in the presence of the cAMP-dependent pig-brain histone kinase was detected. The high degree of homogeneity of the enzyme preparations used, identity of Michaelis constants (Km for ATP = 12 microM), the close values of cAMP activation constants (48 nM and 51 nM) for the phosphotransferase and ATPase activities, respectively, are all evidence that ATP decomposition is catalysed by the histone kinase under study. The ATPase activity observed supports the ping-pong bi-bi mechanism established earlier for the phosphotransferase reaction and can be regarded as due to decomposition of the phosphoryl enzyme. The transient and steady-state phases of the ATP hydrolysis were studied. The simplest reaction pathway can be described in terms of a three-step mechanism. The close values of the rate constant for the elementary stages of the ATPase reaction obtained in the nucleophile competition study and by computer simulation of the quenched-flow kinetics give further support for the mechanism proposed. The phosphoryl enzyme decomposition was shown to be a rate-limiting step under the experimental conditions used (pH 7.8-8.0).

A highly purified sarcolemmal fraction from rat heart consisted of closed inside-out oriented vesicles and possessed high activities of Na+, K+-ATPase, adenylate cyclase and creatine kinase. Contaminations of sarcolemmal preparation by other membranous fractions were practically absent. This sarcolemmal fraction contained protein kinase tightly bound to the membrane. Substrates of the phosphorylation reaction catalyzed by this protein kinase were either endogenous sarcolemmal protein (proteins) with molecular weight of 11500 or exogenous protein--histone, type II. Phosphorylation of the endogenous but not of the exogenous substrate was completely independent of cyclic AMP. A kinetic analysis of the sarcolemmal protein kinase reaction with Mg[gamma-32P]ATP and histone as substrates revealed that the kinetic mechanism of this reaction is characterized by the following kinetic parameters: Km (Mg-ATP) = 12.1 microM; Km (histone) = 0.47 mg/ml; Ki (Mg-ADP) = 15.6 microM. A comparison of experimental results to literary data allows to suggest that the sarcolemmal enzyme is virtually soluble protein kinase tightly bound to the sarcolemma.

cis-Malonato-diammino platinum(II) significantly inhibited P-388 lymphocytic leukemia cell proliferation at 10 mg/kg/day. Incorporation studies showed that DNA synthesis was inhibited following in vivo drug therapy. The major inhibitory effects appeared to be on thymidine kinase and dihydrofolate reductase activities and on overall purine synthesis, with marginal effects on DNA polymerase and ribonucleotide reductase activities. In addition to the DNA inhibition, a marked increase in cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate levels was noted, which correlated with a rapid decrease in histone phosphorylation. Other minor effects of the drug included significant reduction of proteolytic activity, suppression of States 4 and 3 respiration, and an increase in adenosine triphosphatase and acid phosphatase activities of P-388 cells.

Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase is conventionally assayed by measuring the incorporation of radiolabeled phosphate into a histone substrate. Here the assay of the protein kinase is carried out by the positive-ion fast atom bombardment mass spectrometric analysis of the enzyme incubation mixture after the reaction has been terminated. The data obtained are in good agreement with those obtained from the conventional radiometric assay of the same kinase preparation. The inherent advantage of this mass spectrometric assay is the capacity for multiple component monitoring; in addition to the kinase activity, the ability of the enzyme to bind cyclic nucleotides, together with integral ATPase and phosphodiesterase activity, can also be estimated from the same spectra.

We constructed nine sets of oligonucleotide primers on the basis of the results of DNA hybridization of cloned genes from Neurospora crassa and Aspergillus nidulans to the genomes of select filamentous ascomycetes and deuteromycetes (with filamentous ascomycete affiliations). Nine sets of primers were designed to amplify segments of DNA that span one or more introns in conserved genes. PCR DNA amplification with the nine primer sets with genomic DNA from ascomycetes, deuteromycetes, basidiomycetes, and plants revealed that five of the primer sets amplified a product only from DNA of the filamentous ascomycetes and deuteromycetes. The five primer sets were constructed from the N. crassa genes for histone 3, histone 4, beta-tubulin, and the plasma membrane ATPase. With these five primer sets, polymorphisms were observed in both the size of and restriction enzyme sites in the amplified products from the filamentous ascomycetes. The primer sets described here may provide useful tools for phylogenetic studies and genome analyses in filamentous ascomycetes and deuteromycetes (with ascomycete affiliations), as well as for the rapid differentiation of fungal species by PCR.
