(1) The kinetics of the release of the mitochondrial inhibitor protein (IF1) is studied in bovine heart submitochondrial vesicles supplemented with 125I-labelled IF1, using a method for rapidly 'freezing' the state of F1-IF1 interaction. It is shown that generation of a protonmotive force leads to release of IF1 from F1 into solution, following an exponential process. (2) In one set of experiments the rate of IF1 release, in IF1 supplemented vesicles generating a protonmotive force, is correlated with the induction of ATP hydrolytic capacity. It is found that, even under different metabolic states (phosphorylating and non-phosphorylating conditions), both processes follow the same time-course (half-time of around 40 s) and that there is a direct correlation between induced ATPase capacity and IF1 released. This finding rules out the possibility of a non-inhibitory binding site for IF1 on the membrane. (3) In a second set of experiments, also using IF1 supplemented vesicles, the induction of the ATP hydrolytic capacity after energisation is correlated with the induction of the ATP synthetic capacity. Initial rates of both processes are monitored using firefly luciferase, keeping the assay systems as similar as possible. It is shown that the induction of each capacity follows an exponential time-course, with a half-time of around 40 s. This is in good agreement with the half-times obtained for the induction of ATP hydrolytic capacity and the rate of IF1 release, using the quench-stop method. (4) If the induction of ATP hydrolytic and synthetic capacities is followed in untreated submitochondrial vesicles, i.e., vesicles not supplemented with IF1, the extent and time-course of the change in both hydrolytic and synthetic capacities remain correlated, but the half-time of the transient falls to around 10 s. It is suggested that the length of the transient, observed in IF1 supplemented vesicles, results from partial loss of coupling during repeated centrifugations. (5) These results demonstrate that energy-dependent release of IF1 from F1 into solution results in a concomitant increase in both ATP synthetic and hydrolytic capacities of the ATP synthase complex, and that the time-course of this process is sensitive to the degree of coupling of the vesicles.

The effect of arsenate on the partial reactions of the catalytic cycle of the Ca2+ ATPase of skeletal muscle of sarcoplasmic reticulum was studied. With the use of native vesicles it was found that arsenate accelerates the rate of ITP hydrolysis and inhibits both Ca2+ or Sr2+ uptake. These effects were not observed when ATP was used as substrate or, with the use of ITP, when leaky vesicles were assayed. Activation of ITP hydrolysis is related to an increase of the enzyme's apparent affinity for ITP. Arsenate increases the steady-state level of the phosphoenzyme formed from ITP. This depends on the concentration of both Pi and Ca2+, in the medium. Ca2+ and Sr2+ efflux were accelerated by arsenate. The fast Ca2+ efflux promoted by arsenate is impaired by external Ca2+. Arsenate competes with Pi for the phosphorylating site of the enzyme.

ADP-sensitive (E1P) and K+-sensitive (E2P) phosphoenzymes are sequentially formed intermediates in the reaction pathways catalyzed by the Na+,K+- and Ca2+-ATPases. The kinetics of dephosphorylation of these intermediates were examined by means of rapid quenching with acid at 21 degrees C. Under conditions favoring the formation of E2P (25 mM Na+ and O K+), addition of 5 mM ADP + 10 mM EDTA to the Na+,K+-ATPase phosphoenzyme produced a biphasic pattern of dephosphorylation. Both phases of phosphoenzyme decomposition were accompanied by approximately stoichiometric amounts of inorganic phosphate (Pi) release. The rate of decay of the rapid phase was 10 times faster than the rate of phosphoenzyme turnover under phosphorylating conditions indicating acceleration of E2P hydrolysis by ADP. Similar patterns of ADP-stimulated phosphoenzyme decay and Pi release were observed in the Ca2+-ATPase from sarcoplasmic reticulum phosphorylated at low (0.1 mM) Mg2+ in the absence of KCl. These results demonstrate that ADP can enhance the rate of E2P hydrolysis in the cases of the Na+,K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase. As a consequence measurement of "ADP-sensitive EP" may overestimate E1P.

Effects of various cations on the dephosphorylation of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase, phosphorylated by ATP in 50 mM imidazole buffer (pH 7.0) at 22 degrees C without added Na+, have been studied. The dephosphorylation in imidazole buffer without added K+ is extremely sensitive to K+-activation (Km K+ = 1 microM), less sensitive to Mg2+-activation (Km Mg2+ = 0.1 mM) and Na+-activation (Km Na+ = 63 mM). Imidazole and Na+ effectively inhibit K+-activated dephosphorylation in linear competitive fashion (Ki imidazole 7.5 mM, Ki Na+ 4.6 mM). The Ki for Na+ is independent of the imidazole concentration, indicating different and non-interacting inhibitory sites for Na+ and imidazole. Imidazole inhibits Mg2+-activated dephosphorylation just as effective as K+-activated dephosphorylation, as judged from the Ki values for imidazole in the two processes. Tris buffer and choline chloride, like imidazole, inhibit dephosphorylation in the presence of residual K+ (less than 1 microM), but less effectively in terms of I50 values and extent of inhibition. Tris inhibits to the same extent as choline. This indicates different inhibitory sites for Tris or choline and for imidazole. These findings indicate that high steady-state phosphorylation levels in Na+-free imidazole buffer are due to the induction of a phosphorylating enzyme conformation and to the inhibition of (K+ + Mg2+)-stimulated dephosphorylation.

(Na,K)-ATPase, the enzyme responsible for active transport of Na and K across the plasma membranes of animal cells, consists of a catalytic subunit (alpha) and a glycoprotein subunit (beta) with unknown function. We have determined the distance between fluorescent probes directed to specific sites on the alpha- and beta-subunits and ligand-induced changes in the fluorescence of a probe specifically attached to the beta-subunit. The cardiac glycoside site on the alpha-subunit was labeled with anthroylouabain [Fortes, P. A. G. (1977) Biochemistry 16, 531-540]. The oligosaccharides on the beta-subunit were labeled with lucifer yellow carbohydrazide [Lee, J. A., & Fortes, P. A. G. (1985) Biochemistry 24, 322-330]. Resonance energy transfer from anthroylouabain to lucifer yellow was measured by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The distance between these probes was determined from the efficiency of energy transfer. The average distance between anthroylouabain and lucifer yellow was 47 A and was independent of the number of acceptor molecules attached to the beta-subunit. The measured distance corresponds to the distance between the cardiac glycoside site and the center of the labeled oligosaccharides on the beta-subunit within one alpha beta dimer. The distance was the same (47 A) when anthroylouabain was bound with ATP or Pi as phosphorylating ligands but increased to 49 A in the presence of vanadate. The change in average distance provides quantitative evidence of a conformational difference between the complexes of cardiac glycosides with (Na,K)-ATPase induced by phosphorylating ligands or by vanadate.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Membrane-bound (H+ + K+)-ATPase purified from hog gastric mucosa was exposed to limited papain digestion. Such treatment resulted in a rapid inhibition of the K+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase and p-nitrophenyl phosphatase activities, with about 90% of these activities lost after 3 min incubation at 37 degrees C with 0.1 units of papain per mg of enzyme protein. Parallel to the inhibition of the enzyme activities, there was a production of a 77 kDa membrane-bound fragment containing the aspartyl phosphate residue of the phospho-intermediate. This fragment accounted for about 45% of the total enzyme protein after the 3 min papain treatment. The digestion barely affected the steady-state level of phosphorylation, allowed the aspartyl phosphate of the 77 kDa fragment to undergo the transition to the E2P form, and did not significantly alter the fraction of ADP-sensitive phosphoenzyme. The presence of KCl, however, depressed the steady-state level of phosphoenzyme formed from [gamma-32P]ATP considerably less than that of the control enzyme. With further exposure to papain the 77 kDa peptide became fragmented into a 28 kDa soluble peptide that retained the phosphorylating site. Binding of fluorescein 5'-isothiocyanate (FITC) to the native enzyme did not affect the sites of papain hydrolysis because the same peptide fragments were obtained. The FITC reaction site was also in the 28 kDa soluble peptide fragment.

The amoebae of the myxomycete Physarum polycephalum are of interest in order to analyze the morphogenesis of the microtubule and microfilament cytoskeleton during cell cycle and flagellation. The amoebal interphase microtubule cytoskeleton consists of 2 distinct levels of organization, which correspond to different physiological roles. The first level is composed of the 2 kinetosomes or centrioles and their associated structures. The anterior kinetosomes forming the anterior and posterior flagella are morphologically distinguishable. Each centriole plays a role in the morphogenesis of its associated satellites and specific microtubule arrays. The 2 distinct centrioles correspond to the 2 successive maturation stages of the pro-centrioles which are built during prophase. The second level of organization consists of a prominent microtubule organizing center (mtoc 1) to which the anterior centriole is attached at least during interphase. The mtoc plays a role in the formation of the mitotic pole. These observations based on ultrastructural and physiological analyses of the amoebal cytoskeleton are now being extended to the biochemical level. The complex formed by the 2 centrioles and the mtoc 1 has been purified without modifying the microtubule-nucleating activity of the mtoc 1. Several microtubule-associated proteins have been characterized by their ability to bind taxol-stabilized microtubules. Their functions (e.g., microtubule assembly, protection of microtubules against dilution or cold treatment, phosphorylating and ATPase activities) are under investigation. These biochemical approaches could allow in vitro analysis of the morphogenesis of the amoebal microtubule cytoskeleton.

Effects of bepridil [1-[3-isobutoxy-2]benzylphenyl-amino)propyl pyrrolidine) on oxidative phosphorylation, oligomycin-sensitive adenosine triphosphatase, swelling, Ca++ uptake and Na+-induced Ca++ release processes of mitochondria isolated from rabbit heart were investigated. Bepridil, in concentrations greater than 5 microM, produced uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation and stimulated oligomycin-sensitive adenosine triphosphatase activity. At low concentrations it prevented inorganic phosphate-induced swelling and associated depression of oxidative phosphorylation. Its effectiveness in preventing swelling and depression of oxidative phosphorylation was found to be dependent on inorganic phosphate concentration. A concentration of 1 microM of bepridil was effective in producing 50% less depression of phosphorylating respiration in the presence of 10 mM inorganic phosphate. Concentrations of bepridil above 25 microM inhibited the rate of Ca++ uptake. A 50% inhibition of Ca++ uptake was observed at 93 microM bepridil. The rate of Na+-induced Ca++ release was also inhibited by bepridil. A 50% inhibition of the rate of Na+-induced Ca++ release occurred at 11 microM of bepridil. When the Na+-dependent Ca++ release process was about 80% inhibited by 25 microM bepridil, the uptake process still remained at the same level as the untreated control. Results suggest that in addition to reported effects on sarcolemma and sarcoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria are also affected by bepridil.

Treatment of bull spermatozoa from epididymal cauda with 5 micrograms digitonin per microliter cells removed the permeability barrier of plasma membrane for mitochondrial substrates and effectors. Such preparations yielded a high portion of coupled mitochondria characterized by ratios of active respiration to carboxyatractyloside-inhibited respiration greater than 13 in the presence of efficient substrates. Bull sperm mitochondria oxidized pyruvate and lactate in the presence of malate as well as glycerol-3-phosphate with much higher rates than succinate or palmitoyl carnitine. For the efficient substrates the respiration coupled to ADP phosphorylation amounted to 77 to 100% of the uncoupled rate. Comparable rates of active respiration were also observed with ATP indicating the high ATPase activity present in digitonin-treated spermatozoa. Uncoupled rates of respiration corresponded to rates of intact spermatozoa, but the capacity of the phosphorylating respiration exceeded the respiration rates of intact motile spermatozoa remarkably. This indicates that the spermatozoal ATP turnover at sufficient supply of substrate is mostly controlled by ATP utilizing reactions.

An improved method for the isolation of rat brain mitochondria is described. The preparation exhibits a respiratory control index (RCI) of 6 or 7.3 in the presence of pyruvate and malate or glutamate and malate, respectively. RCI decreases to 2.5 in the presence of Mg++. When the phosphorylation of extramitochondrially added or formed ADP is suppressed by carboxyatractyloside (CAT) inhibition of the adenine nucleotide translocator, the remaining respiration amounts to 6 nmol O2/min X mg mitochondrial protein. These results and the ratio of 16 to 19 from the quotient of phosphorylating active-state respiration to CAT inhibited respiration refer to a high degree of mitochondrial coupling of respiration. Therefore the remaining respiration in the presence of Mg++ is due to a phosphokinase activity located outside the inner membrane of intact mitochondria or at nonphosphorylating mitochondrial fragments. The following activities were observed: Oligomycin sensitive ATPase, 47 mU/mg protein; hexokinase, 272 mU/mg protein; creatinphosphokinase, 116 mU/mg protein; and a surprisingly low activity of adenylatekinase, 57 mU/mg protein.
