Vesiculated fragments of chicken skeletal muscle transverse tubule (TT) membranes were analyzed for their content of loosely associated and integral membrane proteins. Of particular interest was the identification of the magnesium-stimulated ATPase (Mg-ATPase), which is characteristically located in native isolated TT vesicles of chicken skeletal muscle [R. A. Sabbadini and V. R. Okamoto (1983) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 223, 107-119]. A number of the proteins found in vesicular TT preparations were found to be extractable by a mild Triton-X100 treatment and were identified as aldolase, enolase, creatine kinase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, and pyruvate kinase. Approximately 60% of TT-associated protein was extracted with Triton, resulting in a twofold enrichment of the Mg-ATPase. Concommitantly, one core integral membrane protein possessing a Mr of 102,000 was enriched, suggesting that it is responsible for the Mg-ATPase activity present in chicken skeletal muscle TT membranes.

Interrelationships between the binding by rabbit muscle phosphofructokinase of citrate, ATP, GTP, and adenyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP) were investigated. To allow measurements at 25 degrees C, pyruvate kinase and phosphoenolpyruvate were included in the dialysis media to rephosphorylate ADP formed by the weak ATPase action of phosphofructokinase. Binding of citrate was enhanced by GTP nearly as much as by ATP, although GTP does not inhibit the catalytic activity of the enzyme. The results are consistent with the interpretation that binding of GTP, and, by analogy, ATP, at the catalytic site enhances the binding of citrate. AMP-PNP also enhanced citrate binding. Both ATP and GTP appear to bind at three sites per enzyme subunit, with the apparent third site binding relatively weakly. The estimated dissociation constants for the first two sites, about 33 microM for both for ATP compared with 3 and 280 microM for GTP, are consistent with kinetic results that imply lack of effective competition by GTP for the inhibitory site. When a compound binds at two or more sites on a macromolecule, the position and shape of the binding curve are sensitive to the geometric mean of the binding constants but quite insensitive to the magnitudes of the individual constants; thus, binding affinities cannot be estimated with confidence in such cases.

Experimental hyperthyroidism induced in rats by daily injections of 3,3',5,5'-tetraiode-L-thyroxine (0.5 mg/kg i.p.) for 14 days resulted in a significant increase in heart weight and heart weight/body weight ratio. Hemodynamic and morphological studies were performed in one group. Thyroxine-treated rats showed a characteristic cardiovascular hyperdynamic state, such as tachycardia and augmented rate of contraction, but no evidence of heart failure such as elevated end-diastolic pressures. The cardiac cells in hyperthyroid rats had a significantly larger diameter and more mitochondria than did those of the control rats. In another group the activities of cardiac enzymes involved in energy utilization and liberation were measured biochemically and compared with those of normal controls. Hyperthyroidism resulted in increased specific activity of cytochrome C oxidase and actomyosin ATPase in the myocardium. The specific activity of long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase, carnitine palmityl-transferase, carnitine acetyltransferase, malate dehydrogenase and citrate synthase showed a moderate to marked increment, whereas the specific activity of lactate dehydrogenase and pyruvate kinase remained at the control values. These results suggest that in hyperthyroid rat hearts the functions of both energy liberation and utilization systems are enhanced to meet the added workload. Moreover, the increased activity of the enzymes participating in fatty acid metabolism suggest that in thyroxine-induced hypertrophic and hyperdynamic rat hearts, fatty acids contribute more to the energy supply than do carbohydrates.

The rate of hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by chemically skinned rabbit muscle fibres was measured as a function of Mg ATP concentration in the range 5 microM to 5 mM. Pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase were used to link adenosine diphosphate formation to oxidation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide which was followed by the change in absorption at 340 nm. The ATPase rate of a fully activated fibre (pCa = 4.5) increased monotonically with Mg ATP concentration in a manner that could be readily fitted by a hyperbola. At 15 degrees C, pH 7 and an ionic strength of 0.2 M the rate at saturating Mg ATP (Vm) was 1.78 +/- 0.2 s-1 per myosin head (mean +/- S.D.; n = 6) and the Mg ATP concentration needed for half the maximal rate (Km) was 16.6 +/- 2 microM. The ATPase of fibres that had been stabilized by cross-linking with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl-aminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC) was also investigated. Cross-linking did not significantly affect the Vm or Km and these fibres proved useful for investigating the adequacy of the pyruvate kinase activity for regenerating hydrolysed ATP. Myofibrils were cross-linked with EDC or glutaraldehyde to prevent shortening. Their ATPase properties were investigated: the values of Vm were 0.85 +/- 0.18 (mean +/- S.D.; n = 14) and 0.82 +/- 0.05 s-1 (n = 6) and of Km were 18.0 +/- 2.8 and 12.4 +/- 2.4 microM respectively. The values of Vm and Km for EDC cross-linked myofibrils were fairly insensitive to ionic strength, the Km decreasing 40% and the Vm increasing 50% for a change from 0.2 to 0.3 M. This slight dependence on ionic strength is considered in relation to the ionic strength dependence of the elementary rate constants of the actomyosin subfragment-1 ATPase cycle.

Muscle ATP turnover, glycogenolytic, and glycolytic rates were estimated to compare the energy cost and glycolytic regulation of 102.4 s of continuous and intermittent stimulation. Quadriceps femoris muscles of male subjects were stimulated at 20 Hz for one continuous contraction (n = 6) or a series of 64 contractions (1.6 s on, 1.6 s off; n = 6). Leg blood flow was occluded and muscle biopsies were obtained at rest and following 51.2 and 102.4 s of contraction time in both conditions. Isometric force production by the activated knee extensors decreased to 55% of initial contraction force with intermittent and 80% of initial contraction force with continuous stimulation following 51.2 s of contraction time. Corresponding ATP turnover rates were 4.49 +/- 0.39 and 3.80 +/- 0.44 mmol.kg dry muscle-1.s-1. When normalized for tension production the respective energy costs of intermittent and continuous contractions were 3.66 +/- 0.47 and 2.64 +/- 0.36 mmol ATP.kg-1.100 N-1. Glycogenolytic rates were identical during the first 51.2 s of stimulation but glycolysis was higher in the intermittent group (1.05 +/- 0.10 vs. 0.86 +/- 0.11 mmol.kg-1.s-1). We suggest that the increased ATP utilization of intermittent contractions is associated with enhanced Ca2+-transport ATPase activity during relaxation and enhanced actomyosin ATPase activity during the early portion of each contraction. Glycolytic rate is dependent on ATP demand and regulated by allosteric modulators of phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase which are released or consumed in the reactions associated with contraction.

Multiple infarcts were produced in cerebral hemispheres of rats by injecting calibrated 50-micron microspheres into the left internal carotid artery, and alterations in lipid and energy metabolism were evaluated 24 hours later in the embolized hemisphere. Total phospholipid content was decreased by 26%, but the different classes of phospholipids were not equally affected. Phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylserine levels were decreased by about 40% and phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine by 25%, while sphingomyelin level remained unchanged. There was a 3.2-fold increase in total free fatty acid content with a relatively larger rise in polyunsaturated free fatty acids 20:4 and 22:6 (20-fold increase). Determination of enzyme activities showed decreases in Na+,K+-ATPase (-21%) and hexokinase (-14%) but no changes in phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase. Study of energy metabolism using the closed system method of Lowry et al showed a significant depression (-36%) of the cerebral metabolic rate. Taken together, these data suggest a relation between lipid alterations and dysfunction of energy metabolism. Phospholipid degradation with subsequent free fatty acid release and alteration in membrane-bound enzymes may have a direct effect on metabolic machinery and may slow cerebral metabolic rate.

The effects of isoprenaline administration (300 micrograms/kg for 5 weeks) on rat soleus muscle capillarity and glycolytic and oxidative capacities were evaluated. The treatment resulted in ventricular hypertrophy. The activities of lactic dehydrogenase, pyruvate kinase, citrate synthase, and cytochrome c oxidase in soleus muscle homogenates were not different between control and isoprenaline-injected animals. Capillaries were visualized in muscle cross sections treated to demonstrate ATPase activity after acid preincubation. Capillary density was higher in the experimental (873 +/- 38 capillaries/mm2) than in the control (713 +/- 33 capillaries/mm2) animals. Capillary to fiber ratio was also higher in the experimental (2.47 +/- 0.10) than in control (2.09 +/- 0.08) animals, but fiber cross-sectional area was not changed by the treatment (2836 +/- 87 microns2 in controls and 2951 +/- 136 microns2 in experimental). A plot of capillary to fiber ratio vs. fiber cross-sectional area showed that at a given fiber cross-sectional area the value of capillary to fiber ratio of the treated animals was higher than that of the controls. This indicates that treatment resulted in the proliferation of microvessels. The results suggest that prolonged beta-adrenergic stimulation results in the development of new capillaries but that this is not accompanied by increases in the oxidative capacity of the soleus muscle of the rat.

The regulation of oxidative phosphorylation was studied with digitonin-treated epididymal bull spermatozoa in which mitochondria are directly accessible to low molecular compounds in the extracellular medium. Due to the high extramitochondrial ATPase activity in this cell preparation, it was possible to stimulate respiration to a small extent only by added hexokinase in the presence of glucose and adenine nucleotides. Added pyruvate kinase plus phosphoenol pyruvate, however, strongly suppressed the respiration. Under these conditions, the respiration was found to depend on the extramitochondrial [ATP]/[ADP] ratio in the range of 1-100. The contribution of the adenine nucleotide translocator to this dependence was determined by titration with the irreversible inhibitor carboxyatractyloside in the presence of ADP. Using lactate plus malate as substrate, the active state respiration was controlled to about 30% by the translocator, whereas 12 and 4% were determined in the presence of L-glycerol-3-phosphate and malate alone, respectively. In order to compare the results with those for intact cells, the adenine nucleotide patterns were determined in intact and digitonin-treated spermatozoa under conditions of controlled respiration in the presence of vanadate and carboxyatractyloside, respectively. About 21% of total cellular adenine nucleotides were found in digitonin-treated cells representing the mitochondrial compartment. While allowing for the intramitochondrial amount of adenine nucleotides, the cytosolic [ATP]/[ADP] ratio was estimated to be 6-times higher than the mitochondrial ratio in intact cells. It is concluded from the data presented that the principal mechanism by which oxidative phosphorylation in sperm mitochondria is regulated via the extramitochondrial [ATP]/[ADP] ratio is the same as that demonstrated for other isolated mitochondria.

1. Intracellular concentrations of intermediates and cofactors of glycolysis were measured in guinea-pig cerebral cortex slices incubated under varying conditions. 2. Comparison of mass-action ratios with apparent equilibrium constants for the reactions of glycolysis showed that hexokinase, phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase catalyse reactions generally far from equilibrium, whereas phosphoglucose isomerase, aldolase, phosphoglycerate kinase, phosphoglycerate mutase, enolase, adenlyate kinase and creatine phosphokinase are generally close to equilibrium. The possibility that glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase may catalyse a ;non-equilibrium' reaction is discussed. 3. Correlation of changes in concentrations of substrates for enzymes catalysing ;non-equilibrium' reactions with changes in rates of glycolysis caused by alteration of the conditions of incubation showed that hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, pyruvate kinase and possibly glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase are subject to metabolic control in cerebral cortex slices. 4. It is suggested that the glycolysis is controlled by two regulatory systems, the hexokinase-phosphofructokinase system and the glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase-pyruvate kinase system. These are discussed. 5. It is concluded that the rate of glycolysis in guinea-pig cerebral cortex slices is limited either by the rate of glucose entry into the slices or by the hexokinase-phosphofructokinase system. 6. It is concluded that addition of 0.1mm-ouabain to guinea-pig cerebral cortex slices causes inhibition of either glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase or phosphoglycerate kinase or both, in a manner independent of the known action of ouabain on the sodium- and potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase.

The effects of dimethyl sulphoxide and glycerol on ox brain microsomal Na(+)+K(+)-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.3), K(+)-stimulated p-nitrophenyl phosphatase and K(+)-dependent muscle pyruvate kinase (EC 2.7.1.40) were studied. Dimethyl sulphoxide at concentrations below 20% (v/v) was found to stimulate the p-nitrophenyl phosphatase and pyruvate kinase by increasing their affinity for K(+) but to inhibit the Na(+)+K(+)-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase. The latter enzyme activity was also inhibited by glycerol, which like dimethyl sulphoxide, stimulated the K(+)-activated p-nitrophenyl phosphatase at a wide range of concentrations. The solvent effects were promptly reversed by dilution. Similarity was found between glycerol and dimethyl sulphoxide, on one hand, and ATP, on the other, in their stimulatory effect and their ability to increase the ouabain- and oligomycin-sensitivity of the K(+)-stimulated p-nitrophenyl phosphatase. However, only the solvents, not the ATP, increased the binding of K(+) by the microsomes. From the above findings it is suggested that solvents may act on K(+)-dependent enzymes by altering the state of solvation of the activating cation as well as by changing the enzyme structure.
