Concanavalin A inhibits the (Na+-K+)-ATPase activity of isolated rat-liver plasma membranes, while leaving the Mg2+-ATPase unaffected. Glucagon and cyclic AMP act supplementary to the lectin in the inhibition. The lectin effect is counteracted by insulin and L-epinephrine, and is completely abolished by the beta-adrenergic blocking agent propranolol. Results are discussed on the basis of the known interactions of concanavalin A with plasma membrane components, including its hormone-like action.

The plant lectin concanavalin A (Con A) specifically inactivates the 5'-nucleotidase of a plasma membrane-enriched fraction from lactating mammary gland. The lectin also causes an activation of the membrane Mg++-ATPase, but does not affect galactosyltransferase or alkaline phosphatase. The enzyme perturbations are prevented by alpha-methylmannoside, an inhibitor of Con A binding, indicating that specific binding to carbohydrate structures rather than nonspecific protein-protein interaction is involved. Solubilization of the 5'-nucleotidase in detergents (0.2% Triton X-100 or 1% deoxycholate) does not prevent Con A inactivation, indicating that incorporation into the membrane structure is not a requirement for the Con A effect. the results suggest that Con A inactivates the 5'-nucleotidase by a direct interaction with the enzyme and that this enzyme is a Con A receptor site on the surface of mammary cells.

The way in which the lectins concanavalin A (Con A) and Ricinus communis agglutinin (Ricin) alter the K+ content of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells was investigated. Unidrectional and net fluxes were determined in unwashed cells during a time course following lectin addition. Total influx, ouabain sensitive influx, Mg++- and Na+-K+-ATPase activity were all unaffected. Cell ATP content was normal for at least 19 minutes after exposure to Con A. Early after contact with Ricin or Con A efflux was stimulated 2-3-fold, resulting in net K+ loss, but after 20 minutes efflux had returned to normal. Ricin and Con A acted similarly although Ricin was present at only 1/50 the concentration of Con A. When the findings are evaluated together with previous work it is suggested that a particular membrane glycoprotein may be concerned in the efflux alteration observed.

The 5'-nucleotidase properties of isolated lymphocyte plasma membranes from young pig mesenteric nodes are described; nucleosides-5'-monophosphates are the substrates of this specific enzyme. Concanavalin A inhibits this enzyme; on the same membranes this mitogen does not affect alkaline phosphatase and activates the membrane bound (Ca2+) ATPase. The 5'-nucleotidase inhibition is due to a specific interaction of Con A with carbohydrate groups of the membrane; its high positive cooperativity suggests that the lectin promotes reorganization of the membrane bound 5'-nucleotidase. Solubilization of the 5'-nucleotidase does not prevent the effect of Con A and the solubilized enzyme is firmly bound by Con A-Sepharose 4B; these results suggest that Con A inhibits the enzyme by a direct interaction and that 5'-nucleotidase can be considered as an eventual receptor for the lectin.

A stimulation by concanavalian A OF Mg2+ -and Ca2+-dependent ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) of human prostatic fluid has been observed after the enzyme system had been inactivated by a detergent such as 0.05% deoxycholate. The concanavalin A effect was specific since the positive effect was abolished in the presence o alpha-methyl-D-mannoside. Furthermore, the positive effect of concanavalin A was obtained with a low lectin concentration, equal to the concentration reported for optimal stimulation of other membrane enzymes.

1. Pancreatic plasma membranes containing a high adenylate cyclase activity and a low contamination by cytochrome c oxidase were isolated from the rat by sucrose density centrifugation. The preparation contained an (Mg,Ca)-ATPase of high activity with the following characteristics. 2. The ATPase activity was shown to have two apparent Km values for Mg-ATP (0.24 +/- 0.09 mM and 1.15 +/- 0.21 mM) and two apparent Km values for Ca-ATP (0.14 +/- 0.09 mM and 0.68 +/- 0.10 mM). Mg-GTP and Ca-GTP were also hydrolysed by the preparation. The phase transition temperature was 19.3 +/- 1.0 degrees C for the Mg-ATPase and 22.6 +/- 1.1 degrees C for the Ca-ATPase activities. 3. Three lines of evidence suggest that Mg-ATP and Ca-ATP were substrates for the same enzyme: Mg-dependent and Ca-dependent activities were not additive; the two activities showed the same pH optimum at 8.0; and the nonionic detergents Triton X-100, Triton X-305, Triton N-101, Lubrol P 12 A, and digitonin, produced a parallel solubilization of the two activities. 4. Enzyme activities were insensitive to potassium, sodium, ouabain, pancreozymin, carbamoyl-choline, secretin, concanavalin A, wheat germ agglutinin, and soybean lectin.

The antigenic composition and molecular structure of the plasma membrane of Streptococcus pyogenes (group A; M type 6) were studied by crossed immunoelectrophoresis (XIE) and other related quantitative immunoelectrophoretic techniques. After establishment of a reference pattern of 29 immunoprecipitates, the relative differences in amounts of individual antigens contained in membranes isolated from cells that were harvested during the exponential or stationary phase of growth were examined. Relative increases and decreases in amounts of individual antigens were estimated from the areas subtended by immunoprecipitates after XIE of Triton X-100 extracts. The asymmetric distribution of antigens on the inner and outer surfaces of the membrane was established in absorption experiments with intact, stable protoplasts. Of the 29 immunoprecipitates, 8 appeared to contain antigens exposed on the outer surface of the membrane, whereas 11 appeared to contain antigens either located on the inner surface or unexposed. Six antigens appeared to have limited exposure on the outer surface, and four others remain to be assigned. Certain immunoprecipitates were characterized with respect to enzymatic activity or interaction with the lectin concanavalin A. Reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dehydrogenase (EC 1.6.99.3), adenosine triphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.3), and polynucleotide phosphorylase (EC 2.3.7.8) were demonstrated by zymogram techniques. The latter two activities were present within the same immunoprecipitate, suggesting the occurrence of a multienzyme complex. In addition, the areas under the immunoprecipitates containing the three enzymatic activities were not affected by absorption of antimembrane immunoglobulin with intact protoplasts and thus appeared to be located on the inner surface of the membrane. The results from absorption experiments also suggested that the exposure of outer protoplast surface antigens was greater on protoplasts from exponential-phase cells than on those from stationary-phase cells, even when found in increased amounts in the latter.

Cellular membranes were prepared from the non-extending part of dark grown hypocotyls of Phaseolus aureus. The relative effectiveness of continuous and discontinuous sucrose gradient centrifugation for the separation of membranes was investigated. Characteristic densities of membranes were determined by the localization of enzyme activities on continuous sucrose gradients: NADH-cytochrome c-reductase for endoplasmic reticulum, beta-1-3-glucan synthetase for plasma-membrane and IDPase for dictyosomes. The difficulties involved in the application of ATPase and IDPase as specific membrane markers are discussed. Negative staining of isolated fractions indicated that intact dictyosomes could be prepared from this tissue without the use of chemical fixatives in the homogenization medium. Extraction of isolated membranes showed that carbohydrate-binding proteins (lectins) were present both in an easily removable and in a more strongly bound form. In vivo incorporation of D-[U-14C]glucose and subsequent isolation and solubilization of the different membranes showed that sugar-containing polymers could be released without hydrolytic techniques and were present in the equivalent extracts that exhibited lectin activity. The possibility of lectin-polysaccharide complexes in endoplasmic reticulum and dictyosomes and their involvement in the synthesis and transport of secretory substances by the membranes is discussed.

Cell surface membrane fragments were isolated and purified by successive rate zonal and isopycnic centrifugation of calcium oxalate-loaded pigeon heart microsomes in sucrose density gradients. The most highly purified cell membrane fraction sediments at a buoyant density of 1.105 g/ml. Some of the membrane pieces are present as open fragments and leaky vesicles, while others form tightly sealed vesicles of both inside-in and inside-out membrane orientation. The pigeon heart cell membrane preparation exhibits high (Na+ + K+ + Mg2+)-ATPase and adenylate cyclase activities. Additional activity of these enzymes is uncovered by sodium dodecyl sulfate and alamethicin, respectively. Electron microscopic inspection of the cell surface membrane preparation revealed (a) a predominance of thick-walled vesicles with smooth surfaces on negative staining and (b) binding of concanavalin A to the bulk of isolated membrane pieces following their incubation with the lectin.

The adsorption to human erythrocytes of Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide treated by mild alkaline hydrolysis (h-LPS) stimulated an increase in the intracellular Na+ concentration and a decrease in the intracellular K+ concentration of the erythrocytes. Erythrocytes treated by h-LPS remained responsive to the membrane adenosine triphosphatase inhibitors ouabain and ethacrynic acid, indicating that hLPS did not alter erythrocyte cations be depleting energy intermediates or uncoupling energy metabolism from active cation transport. The h-LPS-treated erythrocytes became non-agglutinable by the lectin concanavalin A prior to the development of changes in intracellular cations. In addition, h-LPS-treated erythrocytes demonstrated a three-fold greater cation response to ethacrynic acid than the untreated erythrocytes; this greater response was probably due to local membrane effects by h-LPS on the ethacrynic acid-sensitive adenosine triphosphatase. It is suggested that the h-LPS-induced alteration of erythrocyte cation content was secondary to an increase in ion permeability localized to the concanavalin A receptor regions of the erythrocyte membrane, possibly combined with indirect effects of membrane-bound h-LPS on ethacrynic acid-sensitive adenosine triphosphatase.
