Fresh peripheral blood lymphocytes from eight patients with congenital agammaglobulinemia demonstrate reduced ecto-5'-nucleotidase activity when compared to the mean activity of normal subjects and patients with other forms of immunoglobulin deficiency. A specific defect of ecto-5'-nucleotidase is further suggested by normal values for lymphocyte ecto-adenosinetriphosphatase and ecto-nonspecific phosphatase. The data provide evidence for an enzyme deficiency in this X-linked, B lymphocyte deficiency syndrome.

The effect of a protonophoric uncoupler (CCCP) on the different cellular compartments was investigated in yeast grown aerobically on lactate. These cells were incubated in a resting cell medium under three conditions; in aerobiosis with lactate or glucose or in anaerobiosis with glucose as energetic substrate. For each condition, in vivo 31P NMR was used to measure pH gradients across vacuolar and plasma membrane and phosphorylated compound levels. Respiratory rate (aerobic conditions) and TPP+ uptake were measured independently. Concerning the polyphosphate metabolism, spontaneous NMR-detected polyphosphate breakdown occurred, in anaerobiosis and in the absence of CCCP. In contrast, in aerobiosis, polyphosphate hydrolysis was induced by addition of either CCCP or a vacuolar membrane ATPase-specific inhibitor, bafilomycin A1. Moreover, polyphosphates were totally absent in a null vacuolar ATPase activity mutant. The vacuolar polyphosphate content depended on two factors: vacuolar pH value, strictly linked to the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase activity, and inorganic phosphate concentration. CCCP was more efficient in dissipating the proton electrochemical gradient across vacuolar and mitochondrial membranes than across the plasma membrane. This discrepancy can be essentially explained by a difference of stimulability of each proton pump involved. As long as the energetic state (measured by NDP + NTP content) remains high, the plasma membrane proton ATPase is able to compensate the proton leak. Moreover, this ATPase contributes only partially to the generation of delta pH. The maintenance of the delta pH across the plasma membrane, that of the energetic state, and the cellular TPP+ uptake depend on the nature of the ATP-producing process.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The activities of TdR kinase2 (ATP: thymidine 5'-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.21), AdR kinase (ATP: deoxyadenosine 5'-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.76), GdR kinase (ATP: deoxyguanosine 5'-phosphotransferase, without EC number), ATP (Mg2+)-ase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3), nucleoside diphosphatase (nucleoside diphosphate phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.6), nucleoside phosphotransferase (AMP: deoxynucleoside phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.77) and ribonucleotide 5'-diphosphate reductase (EC 1.17.4.1) were assayed in mitochondria of normal and regenerating rat liver. The activities of deoxynucleoside kinases are regulated: (a) by feedback inhibition of TdR kinase with dTTP and dCTP, and GdR kinase with dGTP; (b) GdR and AdR kinases by AdR and GdR inhibition, respectively; (c) by stimulation of GdR kinase with dTDP, dTTP and dATP. The stimulatory effects are correlated with changes of ATP (Mg2+)-ase and NDP-ase activities in regenerating liver mitochondria.

The active site of the myosin subfragment-1 ATPase was affinity-labeled with ribose-modified fluorescent analogs of ADP, dADP, CDP, UDP, IDP, and GDP in combination with vanadate, forming a stable myosin-nucleoside diphosphate-vanadate complex that is analogous to the normal myosin-ADP-Pi intermediate [Hiratsuka, T. (1984) J. Biochem. 96, 147-154]. Labeled enzyme was isolated free of unbound analog and vanadate, and fluorescent properties of the fluorophore at the active site were examined. Fluorescence emission and acrylamide quenching studies revealed that the hydrophobicity of environment around the fluorophore and the degree of its burial in the protein vary with the base structure of NDP. It was found that the fluorophore of ADP analog is most buried into the protein, while that of the GDP analog is least buried. The results suggest that the deep burial of ATP into the myosin active site is essential for muscle contraction.

By use of 31P NMR, the transmembrane pH gradient (delta pH) and the intracellular levels of phosphorylated metabolites were measured in aerobic suspensions of wild-type Escherichia coli cells in the presence and absence of the adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) inhibitor dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD); the same parameters were also determined in E. coli mutants deficient in ATPase activity under both anaerobic and aerobic conditions. A method is described by which dense suspensions of E. coli cells (approximately 3 X 10(11) cells/mL) were oxygenated so that steady-state O2 levels in the suspensions were far greater than the Km for O2 consumption. Under these conditions, in wild-type MRE600 cells, the intracellular concentrations of PI, NTP, and NDP were measured to be 3.0 +/- 1.5, 8 +/- 1, and 1.2 +/- 1 mM, respectively, while the intracellular pH was approximately 7.5 over the external pH range studied (6 to approximately 7.0). Upon treatment with DCCD, the intracellular NTP level was drastically reduced and intracellular Pi concentration increased in respiring wild-type cells; in the same cells, however, DCCD did not affect the intracellular pH and the delta pH. During respiration in the presence of lactate, ATPase- cells established a delta pH but failed to synthesize any detectable levels of NTP. Conversely, ATPase- cells accumulated high levels of NTP but did not generate a delta pH during glycolysis under anaerobic conditions. These results are in complete agreement with the generally accepted chemiosmotic hypothesis. 31P NMR data on intact ATPase- NR70 cells were in agreement with the previously proposed [Rosen, B. P., Brey, R., & Hasan, S. (1978) J. Bacteriol. 134, 1030] existence of a proton leak in this strain which is sealed by DCCD or by spontaneous mutation into strain NR71. However, the NMR data also indicated that other major differences exist between NR71 and NR70 cells.

The connective-tissue disorder occipital horn syndrome (OHS) is hypothesized to be allelic to Menkes disease. The two diseases have different clinical presentations but have a similar abnormality of copper transport. Mice hemizygous for the blotchy allele of the X-linked mottled locus have similar connective-tissue defects as OHS and may represent a mouse model of this disease. We have analyzed the Menkes/mottled copper-transporting ATPase in these two potentially homologous disorders and have identified similar splicing mutations in both. Some expression of normal mRNA was detectable by reverse transcription-PCR in the mutant tissues. These findings contrast with the more debilitating mutations observed in Menkes disease and suggest that low amounts of an otherwise normal protein product could result in the relatively mild phenotype of OHS and of the blotchy mouse.

The mottled mouse has been proposed as an animal model for Menkes disease, an X-linked disorder of copper transport. The recent isolation of a copper-transporting ATPase gene responsible for Menkes disease has allowed us to test this hypothesis. Here we report the isolation and sequence of the mouse homologue of this gene. We show that two mottled (Mo) alleles, dappled (Modp) and blotchy (Moblo), have abnormalities in the murine mRNA and that Modp has a partial gene deletion. These studies prove that the mottled mouse is the murine model for Menkes disease, providing the basis for future biochemical and therapeutic studies.

Menkes disease is an X-linked disorder of copper transport characterized by progressive neurological degeneration and death in early childhood. We have isolated a candidate gene (Mc1) for Menkes disease and find qualitative or quantitative abnormalities in the mRNA in sixteen of twenty-one Menkes patients. Four patients lacking Mc1RNA showed rearrangements of the Menkes gene. The gene codes for a 1,500 amino acid protein, predicted to be a P-type cation-transporting ATPase. The gene product is most similar to a bacterial copper-transporting ATPase and additionally contains six putative metal-binding motifs at the N-terminus. The gene is transcribed in all cell types tested except liver, consistent with the expression of the Menkes defect.

To correlate genotype with response to early copper histidine therapy in Menkes disease, an X-linked disorder of copper transport, we performed mutational analysis in 2 related males who began treatment at the age of 10 days and prenatally at 32 weeks' gestation, respectively. A G to T transversion at the -1 exonic position of a splice donor site was identified, predicting a glutamine to histidine substitution at codon 724 of the Menkes copper-transporting ATPase gene. The Q724H mutation disrupts proper splicing and generates five mutant transcripts that skip from one to four exons. None of these transcripts is predicted to encode a functional copper transport protein. Copper histidine treatment normalized circulating copper and ceruloplasmin levels but did not improve the baseline deficiency of dopamine-beta-hydroxylase, a copper-dependent enzyme. At the age of 36 months, the first patient was living and had neurodevelopmental abilities ranging from 10 to 15 months. The second patient also showed delayed neurodevelopment and died of pulmonary complications at the age of 5 1/2 months. We conclude that early copper histidine therapy does not normalize neurological outcome in patients with the Q724H splicing mutation, and suggest that preservation of some residual Menkes ATPase activity may be a general prerequisite for significant clinical efficacy from such treatment.

Activities of Na+,K(+)-ATPase were measured in brain regions of experimental animals with either congenital or acquired hyperammonemia. In the sparse-fur (spf) mutant mouse, with a genetic X-linked deficiency of ornithine transcarbamylase, an animal model of congenital hyperammonemia, Na+,K(+)-ATPase was increased in frontal cortex (by 57%, P < 0.001), cerebellum (by 61%, P < 0.001), brainstem (by 71%, P < 0.001) and striatum (by 48%, P < 0.01). Four weeks following portacaval anastomosis in the rat, Na+,K(+)-ATPase activities were increased in cerebellum and striatum (by 19%, P < 0.01) and in brainstem (by 28%, P < 0.01). Stimulation of Na+,K(+)-ATPase and the subsequent alteration of neuronal excitability could contribute to the CNS dysfunction characteristic of chronic hyperammonemic syndromes.
