A simple procedure for the purification of Mg2+-stimulated ATPase of Escherichia coli by fractionation with poly(ethylene glycols) and gel filtration is described. The enzyme restores ATPase-linked reactions to membrane preparations lacking these activities. Five different polypeptides (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon) are observed in sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis. Freezing in salt solutions splits the enzyme complex into subunits which do not possess any catalytic activity. The presence of different subunits is confirmed by electrophoretic and immunological methods. The active enzyme complex can be reconstituted by decreasing the ionic strength in the dissociated sample. Temperature, pH, protein concentration, and the presence of substrate are each important determinants of the rate and extent of reconstitution. The dissociated enzyme has been separated by ion-exchange chromatography into two major fragments. Fragment IA has a molecular weight of about 100000 and contains the alpha, gamma, and epsilon polypeptides. The minor fragment, IB, has about the same molecular weight but contains, besides alpha, gamma, and epsilon, the delta polypeptide. Fragment II, with a molecular weight of about 52000, appears to be identical with the beta polypeptide. ATPase activity can be reconstituted from fragments IA and II, whereas the capacity of the ATPase to drive energy-dependent processes in depleted membrane vesicles is only restored after incubation of these two fractions with fraction IB, which contains the delta subunit.

Anthopleurin-A (AP-A), a polypeptide with MW ca. 5500 (53 amino acids), isolated from the sea anemone, Anthopleura xanthogrammica (Brandt), elicited a potent positive inotropic effect but without an accompanying chronotropic effect on the isolated cardiac muscles of rat, rabbit, guinea pig and cat. Similarly in dogs and cats in situ, i.p. injections of AP-A increased the contractile force without effect on heart rate or blood pressure. The cardiotonic potency for AP-A was equivalent to that of isoproterenol but much greater than that for ouabain or glucagon on the isolated cardiac muscle. AP-A increased the contractile force (cardiac output) and decreased atrial pressure in dog heart during pentobarbital-induced failure. This inotropic effect was not inhibited by propranolol pretreatment. The Ca++ requirement to restore the contractile force was less in AP-A-treated than in ouabain or isoproterenol-treated tissues. After AP-A treatment, the cardiac contractility was more resistant to hypoxia and to low or high temperature stress than ouabain-treated or control preparations. AP-A at 5 10(-9) M increased the duration of the action potential, its mean rate of rise and conduction in the guinea-pig atria and ventricles. At the maximum effective concentration, AP-A did not inhibit Na+, K+-activated adenosine triphosphatase, phosphodiesterase (high Km and low Km) and cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate content of guinea-pig heart. AP-A (5 X 10(-8) to 5 X 10(-7) M) neither contracted nor relaxed the isolated vascular smooth muscle. The results suggest that AP-A may be useful in the clinical management of cardiac failure and as an experimental tool to study the pharmacology and physiology of cardiac muscle.

A prodcedure was developed for the purification of the ATP-dependent deoxyribonuclease of Bacillus subtilis 168. It comprises ammonium sulphate fractionation, Sephadex gel filtration, DEAE-cellulose chromatography and gel electrophoresis on a discontinuous polyacrylamide gradient. The enzyme has been obtained in a homogeneous state. Its molecular weight was estimated to be 270000 by disc electrophoresis. Dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed the presence of five nonidentical subunits of the following molecular weights: 81000, 70000, 62000, 52500 and 42500. These values give 308000 as the molecular weight of the native enzyme. The pH optimum of the purified enzyme is 9.6. The optimal concentrations of Mg2+ and ATP for exonuclease activity on native B. subtilis DNA were determined. ATP-requirement for hydrolysis of single-stranded DNA is less strigent. The enzyme also possesses high DNA-dependent ATPase activity. The purification procedure was applied to extracts of a mutant devoid of activity for this enzyme (strain GSY 1290). A protein was isolated which is very similar to the active DNAase as regards electrophoretic mobility, reaction with specific antisera and size of four of the subunits. One subunit is missing (Mr 70000) and is replaced by a smaller polypeptide (Mr 565000). The latter results suggest that the mutant is affected in the genetic locus coding for the 70000-Mr subunit.

1. The cell-membrane ATP phosphohydrolase of vegetatively grown Clostridium pasteurianum was specifically Mg2+-dependent, but demonstrated significant activity with GTP, CTP and UTP. It displayed approximate Michaelis-Menten kinetics only in the presence of certain effectors (e.g. phosphoenolpyruvate, fructose 1,6-bis-phosphate) which decreased the Km for ATP (to below 2 mM) but also V, whilst extending to pH 5.8 the effective pH range of activity of the enzyme. 2. ATP phosphohydrolase activity of the membrane ATPase (BF0F1) was inhibited by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, butyricin 7423, Dio-9, 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan, efrapeptin, leucinostatin and quercetin, and to a lesser degree by aurovertin and citreoviridin. The enzyme was not inhibited by oligomycin, spegazzinine, tributyl tin, triethyl tin or venturicidin. The soluble ATPase (BF1) component differed in not being inhibited by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, butyricin 7423 or leucinostatin. 3. The ATPase (BF0F1) complex and its soluble (BF1) component were separately purified. 4. Dodecylsulphate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis separated only four polypeptide components in the purified ATPase (BF0F1), with approximate molecular weights (+/- 10%) as follows: subunit a, 65 500; subunit c, 57 500; subunit da, 43 000; subunit fa, 15 000. The soluble (BF1 component contained only the three polypeptide subunits a, c and da. These were present in the BF0F1 preparation in the ratio 2 : 1 : 2; the contribution of subunit fa could not satisfactorily be quantified. 5. Subunit a was identified as the component binding 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan and subunit fa as the component binding N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The ATP phosphohydrolase activity of the membrane ATPase was not activated by trypsin treatment and the ATPase (BF0F1) contained no trypsin-sensitive inhibitor protein subunit. 6. Purified ATPase (BF0F1) was incorporated into artificial proteoliposomes which demonstrated ATP-dependent enhancement of 8-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulphonate fluorescence and ATP-dependent proton influx. These reactions were abolished by proton conductors (e.g. carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone) by valinomycin in the presence of a high external concentration of K+, or by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, butyricin 7423, Dio-9, 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan or leucinostatin. Oligomycin, tributyl tin, triethyl tin and venturicidin were not inhibitory. 7. When stripped of the soluble BF1 component, such ATPase-proteoliposomes demonstrated nil ATP phosphohydrolase activity and did not display ATP-dependent enhancement of 8-anilino-naphthalene-1-sulphonate fluorescence or ATP-dependent protein influx. All of these activities were restored by incubation of the BF1-depleted proteoliposomes with a purified preparation of the soluble BF1 component.

1. Phenylglyoxal reacts rapidly with isolated myosin heads (subfragment 1) and induces two successive and distinguishable effects on their enzymic properties: first, a twofold activation of the Ca2+ and Mg2+-dependent ATPases with no effect onthe K+-ATPase followed by inhibition of the K+, Ca2+ and actin-activated Mg2+-ATPases. A specific protein-reagent reagent complex is formed during the second phase of the modification reaction (Ki approximately 5 x 10(-3) M). 2. ADP and ATP with or without cations provide efficient protection only against the loss of ATPase activities, suggesting that the second inhibitory process is occurring at or close to the active site. 3. On the basis of [14C]phenylglyoxal-labelling experiments and the composition of modified subfragment-1 derivatives, it is demonstrated that the sequential modification of two reactive arginyl residues is responsible for the observed activation-inhibition phenomena. Blocking of the first reactive residue produces a shift in the pH/activity curves related to the Ca2+ and Mg2+-dependent ATPases with an apparent activation effect. Modification of the second guanidino group does not destroy the affinity of the protein for the nucleotide substrates but does alter the nucleotide binding site as reflected in the inability of Mg2+. ATP to dissociate the modified subfragment-1--actin complex. It is concluded that electrostatic interactions between this positively charged group and the negatively charged ATP and ADP molecules may be critical for the hydrolytic efficiency of myosin heads. 4. After dissociation and separation of the polypeptide constituents of the protein in acetic acid medium, both labelled sites are found to reside in the heavy chain.

The immunological relation between 14 S dynein and 30 S dynein obtained from Tetrahymena cilia was investigated by using antisera specific for each dynein subunit or some dynein subunits separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Although 14 and 30 S dynein main subunits have different electrophoretic mobilities, our immunodiffusion tests showed that there exists a close immunological relation between them. At least three immunologically different polypeptides designated polypeptides A, B and C are included in the 30 S dynein main band which has been recognized as a single component by electrophoresis, and that the polypeptides designated A',B' and C' are included in the 14 S dynein main bands. Polypeptides A and A',B and B', or C and C' appeared to have a certain common antigenic determinant(s). Polypeptide C of 30 S dynein was shown to possess a certain antigenic determinant(s) specific for 30 S dynein, besides the determinant common with that of polypeptide C' of 14S dynein. The second main component of 30 S dynein proved to be a specific polypeptide of 30 S dynein but not to be a degraded product of the main polypedtide. All antisera reacted with native dynein molecules to some extent, but did not inhibit dynein ATPase (ATP phosphohydrase, EC 3.6.1.3) activity significantly.

Detergent (Lubrol WX)-solubilized sodium-potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase ((Na+ + K+)-ATPase) of electrophorus electric organ contains two major constituent polypeptides with molecular weights of 96,000 and 58,000 which can be readily demonstrated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. These two polypeptides can be clearly separated and can be obtained in milligram quantities by preparative sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. The separated polypeptides, after removal of sodium dodecyl sulfate, and Lubrol-solubilized (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity to some degree. Moreover, the degree of inhibition is directly proportional to the increasing amounts of antisera. The inhibition is maximal 4 weeks after the first injection. Immunodiffusion in 1% agar gel indicated that only Lubrol-solubilized enzyme antiserum, but not 58,000-dalton or 96,00-dalton polypeptide antiserum, gives one major precipitin band. However, specific complex formation between each polypeptide antiserum and Lubrol-solubilized enzyme occurs. This was demonstrated indirectly. After incubating Lubrol-solubilized enzyme with increasing amounts of polypeptide antisera at 37 degrees for 15 min, they were placed in the side wells of an immunodiffusion plate with antiserum against Lubrol-solubilized enzyme in the central well. The intensity of the precipitin band decreased with increasing amounts of polypeptide antisera. Thus, the results indicate that both 96,000-dalton and 58,000-dalton polypeptides are integral subunits of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase.

1. Prolonged treatment of coupling factor I (CF1) from spinach chloroplasts with trypsin free of chymotrypsin yielded an active ATPase. The isolated preparation showed only two polypeptide chains (mol wt 55,000 to 60,000) on acrylamide gels run in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The three smaller subunits of CF1 were not detectable. The preparation no longer served as a coupling factor for photophosphorylation in either EDTA- or silicotungstate-treated chloroplasts. 2. An antiserum prepared against coupling factor I from chloroplasts inhibited the ATPase activity of the trypsin-treated CF1. In contrast, antisera prepared against the two individual (denatured) subunits did not inhibit the ATPase activity when tested either alone or together, although each interacted with the trypsin-treated protein, forming precipitin lines in Ouchterlony plates. 3. The trypsin-treated enzyme was still cold-labile, showing that the three smaller subunits are not required for this property. However, the enzyme was no longer sensitive to the natural inhibitor protein which is one of its subunits (subunit epislon), but was still sensitive to inhibition by the flavonoid quercetin. 4. Two equivalents of 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole were sufficient to inhibit about 80% of the ATPase activity of the coupling factor, irrespective of whether it contained two of five subunits. The inhibition was completely reversed by dithiothreitol. 5. Triated 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole was prepared. Treatment of the coupling factor with this tritium-labeled inhibitor followed by electrophoresis on acrylamide gels revealed that most of the radioactivity was incorporated into the beta subunit of the enzyme (molecular weight 56,000).

Membrane glycoproteins have been studied in the normal lactating mammary gland and R3230 AC mammary tumor of the rat. Plasma membrane-enriched fractions were obtained from these tissues by discontinuous sucrose gradient centrifugation of a microsomal preparation from the tissue homogenates. The lightest membrane fractions (F-1 and F-2) have the greatest enrichment of plasma membrane markers, with a 14- to 20-fold purification of 5'-nucleotidase and Na+-K+ -adenosine triphosphatase over the homogenate values in both tumor and normal tissues for F-1. Electron microscopy shows smooth membrane vesicles for these fractions. Polypeptide analysis by acrylamide gel electrophoresis shows essentially the same patterns for F-1 and F-2 and only relatively minor differences between membrane components of tumor and normal tissues. Glycoprotein analysis of the polyacrylamide gels by periodate-Schiff staining indicates more dramatic differences. Membrane Fraction F-1 from normal tissue contains two major glycoproteins, GP-II and GP-III, while Fractions F-2 and F-3 contain an additional glycoprotein, GP-I, with a higher apparent molecular weight. In the tumor, the component corresponding to GP-III is decreased or absent and a new component GP-IV is seen at a lower apparent molecular weight.

Actin, myosin, and a high molecular weight actin-binding protein were extracted from rabbit alveolar macrophages with low ionic strength sucrose solutions containing ATP, EDTA, and dithiothreitol, pH 7.0. Addition of KCl, 75 to 100 mM, to sucrose extracts of macrophages stirred at 25 degrees caused actin to polymerize and bind to a protein of high molecualr weight. The complex precipitated and sedimented at low centrifugal forces. Macrophage actin was dissociated from the binding protein with 0.6 M KCl, and purified by repetitive depolymerization and polymerization. Purified macrophage actin migrated as a polypeptide of molecular weight 45,000 on polyacrylamide gels with dodecyl sulfate, formed extended filaments in 0.1 M KCl, bound rabbit skeletal muscle myosin in the absence of Mg-2+ATP and activated its Mg-2+ATPase activity. Macrophage myosin was bound to actin remaining in the macrophage extracts after removal of the actin precipitated with the high molecular weight protein by KCl. The myosin-actin complex and other proteins were collected by ultracentrifugation. Macrophage myosin was purified from this complex or from a 20 to 50% saturated ammonium sulfate fraction of macrophage extracts by gel filtration on agarose columns in 0.6 M Kl and 0.6 M Kl solutions. Purified macrophage myosin had high specific K-+- and EDTA- and K-+- and Ca-2+ATPase activities and low specific Mg-2+ATPase activity. It had subunits of 200,000, 20,000, and 15,000 molecular weight, and formed bipolar filaments in 0.1 M KCl, both in the presence and absence of divalent cations. The high molecular weight protein that precipitated with actin in the sucrose extracts of macrophages was purified by gel filtration in 0.6 M Kl-0.6 M KCl solutions. It was designated a macrophage actin-binding protein, because of its association with actin at physiological pH and ionic strength. On polyacrylamide gels in dodecyl sulfate, the purified high molecular weight protein contained one band which co-migrated with the lighter polypeptide (molecular weight 220,000) of the doublet comprising purified rabbit erythrocyte spectrin. The macrophage protein, like rabbit erythrocyte spectrin, was soluble in 2 mM EDTA and 80% ethanol as well as in 0.6 M KCl solutions, and precipitated in 2 mM CaCl2 or 0.075 to 0.1 M KCl solutions. The macrophage actin-binding protein and rabbit erythrocyte spectrin eluted from agarose columns with a KAV of 0.24 and in the excluded volumes. The protein did not form filaments in 0.1 M KCl and had no detectable ATPase activity under the conditions tested.
