Treatment with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C of rat osseous plate membranes released up to 90-95% of alkaline phosphatase, but a specific ATPase activity (optimum pH = 7.5) remained bound to the membrane. The hydrolysis of ATP by this ATPase was negligible in the absence of magnesium or calcium ions. However, at millimolar concentrations of magnesium and calcium ions, the membrane-specific ATPase activity increased to about 560-600 U/mg, exhibiting two classes of ATP-hydrolysing sites, and site-site interactions. GTP, UTP, ITP, and CTP were also hydrolyzed by the membrane-specific ATPase. Oligomycin, ouabain, bafilomycin A1, thapsigargin, omeprazole, ethacrynic acid and EDTA slightly affected membrane-specific ATPase activity, while vanadate produced a 18% inhibition. The membrane-specific ATPase activity was insensitive to theophylline, but was inhibited 40% by levamisole. These data suggested that the membrane-specific ATPase activity present in osseous plate membranes, and alkaline phosphatase, were different proteins.

ATP diphosphohydrolases are described as ecto-enzymes in several tissues. In the present study, synaptic plasma membrane (SPM) was exposed to a series of agents used to distinguish between peripheral (hydrophilic), G-PI-anchored and transmembrane-polypeptide-anchored membrane proteins. These procedures included: (a) nondetergent extraction, (b) Triton X-114 phase partitioning, (c) phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) extraction and (d) protease incubation. In cases (a), (c) and (d) the SPM was incubated with different agents and the ATPase-ADPase activities and the protein concentration was determined in the original sample, in the pellet and in the supernatant obtained after 100,000 g centrifugation. In procedure (b), the SPM was solubilized in 1% triton X-114 and submitted to phase separation onto a sucrose cushion. The aqueous and detergent rich phases obtained by this treatment were assayed for ATPase-ADPase activities and protein determination. The results obtained suggest an intrinsic behaviour for ATP diphosphohydrolase since none of the nondetergent treatments was efficient in removing the enzyme from SPM. Moreover, ATPase and ADPase activities were recovered predominantly (> 50%) in the detergent-rich phase obtained by Triton X-114 partitioning. The enzyme was not released by PI-PLC or proteases. These results indicate that the enzyme is not a GPI-anchored protein, but is probably deeply anchored on the plasma membrane in agreement with the amino acid sequence of the enzyme recently published.

Stimulation of endothelial cells from human umbilical vein by shear stress induced release of endogenous ATP which was accompanied by an extracellular increase in the activity of enzymes degrading both ATP (ATPases) and AMP (5'-nucleotidases). The activity of soluble ATPase was progressively increased from 1.62+/-0.27 to 12.7+/-1.0 pmoles ml(-1) h(-1) after 60 min of stimulation by shear stress. The rate of [(3)H]-ATP hydrolysis in the medium was inhibited by the purinergic agents suramin, Reactive blue 2 and pyridoxalphosphate-6-azophenyl-2'4'-disulphonic acid, and remained insensitive to the classic inhibitors of ion-pumping and intracellular ATPases. Shear stress also increased the activity of 5'-nucleotidase in the medium from 2.0+/-0.5 to 27.2+/-2.8 pmoles ml(-1) h(-1). When shear stress was applied after removal of ecto-5'-nucleotidase by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C, the release of 5'-nucleotidase was drastically reduced. These results show that soluble ATPase and 5'-nucleotidase which are released during shear stress are not released from an intracellular compartment together with ATP but have an extracellular origin.

Recently, our group described a B1-mediated stimulatory effect of des-Arg(9)-bradykinin (DABK) on the Na(+)-ATPase activity of proximal tubule basolateral membranes (BLM) [Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1431 (1999) 483.]. Data in the present report suggest the participation of a phosphatidylinositol-specific PLC (PI-PLC)/protein kinase C (PKC) pathway as the molecular mechanism of DABK-mediated stimulation of the Na(+)-ATPase activity since (i) 10(-8) M DABK activates PI-PLC activity; (ii) 10(-9) M U73122, a PI-PLC inhibitor, abolishes the effect of 10(-8) M DABK on the Na(+)-ATPase activity; (iii) 10(-8) M DABK increases phosphoprotein formation by 34%. This effect is completely reversed by 10(-7) M calphostin C, an inhibitor of PKC; (iv) 20 ng/ml TPA, an activator of PKC, and 10(-8) M DABK stimulate the Na(+)-ATPase activity in a similar and nonadditive manner. Furthermore, the effect of 10(-8) M DABK is completely reversed by calphostin C; (v) 10(-8) M DABK increases phosphoserine residue levels by 54%. This effect is completely reversed by 10(-7) M calphostin C.

In the present paper we studied the involvement of the phosphatidylinositol-specific PLC (PI-PLC)/protein kinase C (PKC) pathway in (Na(+)+K(+))ATPase stimulation by heme in Leishmania amazonensis promastigotes. Heme stimulated the PKC-like activity with a concentration of 50nM. Interestingly, the maximal stimulation of the PKC-like activity promoted by phorbol ester was of the same magnitude promoted by heme. However, the stimulatory effect of heme is completely abolished by ET-18-OCH(3) and U73122, specific inhibitors of PI-PLC. (Na(+)+K(+))ATPase activity is increased in the presence of increased concentrations of heme, being maximally affected at 50nM. This effect was completely reversed by 10nM calphostin C, an inhibitor of PKC. Thus, the effect of 50nM heme on (Na(+)+K(+))ATPase activity is completely abolished by ET-18-OCH(3) and U73122. Taken together, these results demonstrate that the heme receptor mediates the stimulatory effect of heme on the (Na(+)+K(+))ATPase activity through a PI-PLC/PKC signaling pathway.
