Dual localization of acid phosphatase in lysosomal and extralysosomal sites of the tubule epithelial cells of normal mouse kidney was observed at the light and electron microscope level using a modified Gomori lead-salt method with p-nitrophenylphosphate (pNPP) as substrate. Based on previous biochemical and cytochemical findings, we developed optimal conditions for the enzyme activity in extralysosomal sites. The conditions used for the light microscopic level consisted of 1.5 mM PNPP, 2.0 MM Pb(NO3)2 and 0.05 M acetate buffer (pH 5.8). Those for the electron microscopic study required 3.0 mM PNPP, 3.6 MM Pb(NO3)2 and 0.1 M acetate buffer (pH 5.8). This modified lead-salt technique was highly specific and provided a suitable method for the demonstration of nonlysosomal as well as lysosomal sites of acid phosphatase activity in the tubule epithelial cells of normal mouse kidney. As expected, the enzyme activity appeared in the lysosomes, but the prominent reaction in the brush border, the rough endoplasmic reticulum and basal infolding plasma membranes was not anticipated. We were able to demonstrate in situ organelle precursors of microsomal acid phosphatase such as endoplasmic reticulum, plasma membrane and basal infolding membranes showing the same substrate preference, which had been observed previously in biochemical studies in our laboratory. Since the possible participation of alkaline phosphatases, K+-pNPPase or Na+-K+-adenosine triphosphatase was ruled out by use of appropriate inhibitors, the enzyme-reactive sites can be interpreted as reflecting nonspecific acid phosphatase.

1. The fluxes of Na were measured on isolated coprodeal mucosa at 1--220 mM-Na from hens on low (L) and high (H) Na diets with the purpose of finding the location and characteristics of Na sites activated in the cellular pathway by L. 2. The influx across the brush border, JNamc, and the transmural fluxes, JNasm and JNams, were determined. Effects on these fluxes of ouabain, 10(-3) M in the serosal solution, and amiloride, 10(-4) M in the mucosal solution, were studied for both dietary states. 3. JNamc was 5--22 (L) and 0--0.8 (H) muequiv/cm2.hr at 130 mM-Na corrected for the paracellular flux of Na. The JNamc (H) is tenfold smaller than found by Choshniak, Munck & Skadhauge (1977). This discrepancy is at present inexplicable. Amiloride completely inhibited JNamc (L). Preincubation in 0 or 130 mM-Na had no effect on JNamc. Ouabain reduced JNamc (L) by only about 37% after preincubation at 130 mM-Na. The Kt of JNamc was 5.1 (L) and 50.6 (H) mM-Na. 4. JNasm was 50 (H) and 61 (L) n-equiv/cm2.hr at 6.5 mM-Na. Ouabain increased JNasm by 360% in the low Na state. The increased JNasm was inhibited 74--100% by amiloride. This is interpreted as a ouabain induced Na-Na exchange at the basolateral Na-K-ATPase and an almost complete block of JNacm by amiloride. A similar exchange of Na at the basolateral membrane in the high-Na state was revealed by 'opening' the brush border for Na with monensin added to the mucosal solution. Amiloride in itself prevented a 50% recirculation of Na via the paracellular route and back across the cells in the low Na state. 5. JNams was 5.6 (L) muequiv/cm2.hr and 187 (L) microA/cm2 at 6.5 mM-Na. Amiloride reduced these values to 0.4 muequiv/cm2.hr and 5.8 microA/cm2. On addition of amiloride the transmural resistance in (L) coprodea at 130 mM-Na increased from 140 to 190 and it remained unchanged at 260 omega cm2 in (H) coprodea. The resistance of (L) birds, 163, was not affected by ouabain, 166 (L) omega cm2. 6. 20:1 NaCl dilution potentials at the mucosal side of 17--18 mV (L) and nearly zero (H) had half-times around 1 sec. Amiloride eliminated completely these diffusion potentials. The short half-time indicates a location in the brush border of sodium specific sites induced by the low-Na diet. This conclusion is oppsite to that described by Choshniak et al. (1977). 7. Ion selectivity, voltage--current and conductance--concentration relations in the presence of amiloride indicated a weakly cation selective and highly hydrated pathway, which was also thick and with neutral sites. This fits a paracellular route with the limiting barrier for ions at the tight junction.

Bicarbonate presence in the bathing media doubles Na+ and fluid transepithelial transport and in parallel significantly increases Na+ and Cl- intracellular concentrations and contents, decreases K+ cell concentration without changing its amount, and causes a large cell swelling. Na+ and Cl- lumen-to-cell influxes are significantly enhanced, Na+ more so than Cl-. The stimulation does not raise any immediate change in luminal membrane potential and cannot be due to a HCO3(-)-ATPase in the brush border. The stimulation goes together with a large increase in a Na+-dependent H+ secretion into the lumen. All of these data suggests that HCO3- both activates Na+--Cl- cotransport and H+--Na+ countertransport at the luminal barrier. Thiocyanate inhibits Na+ and fluid transepithelial transport without affecting H+ secretion and HCO3(-)-dependent Na+ influx. It reduces Na+ and Cl- conentrations and contents, increases the same parameters for K+, causes a cell shrinking, and abolishes the lumen-to-cell Cl- influx. It enters the cell and is accumulated in the cytoplasm with a process which is Na+-dependent and HCO3(-)-activated. Thus SCN- is likely to compete for the Cl- site on the cotransport carrier and to be slowly transferred by the cotransport system itself.

The activity of Na+/H(+)-exchange and H(+)-ATPase was measured in the absence of CO2/HCO3 by microfluorometry at the single cell level in rat proximal tubules (superficial S1/S2 segments) loaded with BCECF [2'7'-bis(carboxyethyl)5-6-carboxyfluorescein- acetoxymethylester]. Intracellular pH (pHi) was lowered by a NH4Cl-prepulse technique. In the absence of Na+ in the superfusion solutions, pHi recovered from the acid load by a mechanism inhibited by 0.1 microM bafilomycin A1, a specific inhibitor of a vacuolar-type H(+)-ATPase. Readdition of Na+ in the presence of bafilomycin A1 produced an immediate recovery of pHi by a mechanism sensitive to the addition of 10 microM EIPA (ethylisopropylamiloride), a specific inhibitor of Na+/H+ exchange. The transport rate of the H(+)-ATPase is about 40% of Na+/H(+)-exchange activity at a similar pHi (0.218 +/- 0.028 vs. 0.507 +/- 0.056 pH unit/min. Pre-exposure of the tubules to 30 mM fructose, 0.5 mM iodoacetate and 1 mM KCN (to deplete intracellular ATP) prevented a pHi recovery in Na(+)-free media; readdition of Na+ led to an immediate pHi recovery. Tubules pre-exposed to Cl(-)-free media for 2 hr also reduced the rate of Na(+)-independent pHi recovery. In free-flow electrophoretic separations of brush border membranes and basolateral membranes, a bafilomycin A1-sensitive ATPase activity was found to be associated with the brush border membrane fraction; half maximal inhibition is at 6 x 10(-10) M bafilomycin A1.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Renal epithelial function, proton flux and sodium stimulated proton flux, was observed in vesicles isolated from the brush border of the proximal tubule of Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) during migration. Brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) were isolated from the body kidney of Sockeye Salmon using aggregation/differential centrifugation techniques. Vesicle purity was tested using a series of epithelial and basal lateral markers including alkaline phosphatase, maltase, gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGTP), Mg(2+)-activated ATP-ase, Na(+)+K(+)-activated ATPase, and 5'-nucleotidase and the lysosomal marker acid phosphatase. An enrichment/depletion factor for each marker was determined by comparison of purified BBMV with kidney homogenate. Vesicles exhibit an enrichment factor for alkaline phosphatase, GGTP, maltase, Mg(2+)-activated ATP-ase, Na(+)+K(+)-activated ATPase, and 5'-nucleotidase. A depletion factor was observed for acid phosphatase. Vesicle integrity was tested by measuring the time course of proton flux in the presence of a pH gradient. Amiloride sensitive sodium stimulated proton flux was observed in these vesicles. The presence of sodium caused a saturable increase in the rate of proton flux, indicating the activity of a sodium/proton antiport protein in BBMV.

Renal cortex homogenates from aged (greater than 5 y) rabbits showed decreased specific activities of brush border membrane enzymes compared to those from control young (6 m) rabbits but the specific enzyme activities of basolateral membrane, endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria did not differ between the two groups. The stimulatory effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on the Ca(2+)-pump enzyme [(Ca(2+)+Mg2+)-ATPase] activity in kidney cortex homogenates were markedly less in aged rabbits, but the effect of cAMP on this enzyme activity was similar. Moreover, the production of cAMP induced by PTH was markedly less in the renal cortex homogenates from aged rabbits. From these results, we have proposed the following mechanism; aging--decrease in the response of cAMP to PTH in renal cortex--decrease in the stimulatory effect of PTH via cAMP on the Ca(2+)-pump enzyme--decreased reabsorption of Ca2+ from ureter--increased urinary Ca2+ secretion. This pathway may contribute to the worsening of senile osteoporosis.

Distal urinary acidification abnormalities may arise from transepithelial voltage defects, permeability defects, or proton-secretory defects, but tests to determine the cellular mechanisms underlying secretory abnormalities have not previously been reported. A patient with Sjogren's syndrome and distal renal tubular acidosis due to a secretory defect is described, whose kidney biopsy was examined by fluorescent immunocytochemistry with an antibody to the M(r) 31,000 subunit of the mammalian kidney vacuolar H(+)-ATPase and was compared with normal human kidney. Staining with the anti-H(+)-ATPase antibody in normal human kidney was detected in the brush border microvilli and subvillar invaginations of the proximal tubule and in intercalated cells in the collecting duct. A biopsy sample from the patient was devoid of any anti-H+-ATPase staining in the intercalated cells. Staining was also absent from the proximal tubule brush border microvilli but was present in the subvillar invaginations. Although autoantibodies to normal human kidney membrane proteins were detected in the serum by immunoblot analysis, no immunocytochemical evidence for anti-intercalated cell autoantibodies was observed in the patient's serum. This report demonstrates that the basis for the proton secretory defect in some patients with distal renal tubular acidosis is likely the absence of H(+)-ATPase in the intercalated cells. It also illustrates the potential diagnostic utility of anti-H(+)-ATPase antibodies in the classification of distal renal tubular acidoses.

Myosin I, an actin-dependent force-generating enzyme, has been purified from three mammalian sources: bovine adrenal medulla, adrenal cortex, and brain. The purification procedure includes extraction of tissue with ATP at low ionic strength and coprecipitation with actin, followed by gel filtration on Sepharose 4B, anion-exchange chromatography on Q Sepharose, and affinity chromatography on ATP-agarose. Mammalian myosin I molecules are composed of a heavy chain of 116 kDa and multiple low molecular weight polypeptides identified as calmodulin. The structural and enzymatic properties of adrenal medulla myosin I were further characterized. This enzyme exhibits high K+,EDTA- and Ca(2+)-ATPase specific activities (about 0.2 mumol.min-1 per mg of protein), whereas the Mg(2+)-ATPase activity is very low (1-3 nmol.min-1.mg-1). The Mg(2+)-ATPase of medulla myosin I is activated by F-actin in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner: activity is stimulated 40-fold in the presence of EGTA and 90-fold in the presence of 10 microM Ca2+. Two structural domains of the myosin I heavy chain were identified. A 74-kDa chymotryptic fragment contains the catalytic site, while a 36-kDa polypeptide contains the calmodulin-binding sites. These results indicate that mammalian myosin I is more closely related to myosin I from the avian intestinal brush border than to the enzymes isolated from the protozoans Acanthamoeba and Dictyostelium.

A factor that activates affinity-purified vacuolar H(+)-ATPase from bovine kidney microsomes was identified and partially purified from bovine kidney cytosol. The activator is a heat-stable, trypsin-sensitive acidic protein with a Mr by gel filtration of approximately 35,000. The activator increased the activity of renal microsomal and brush border H(+)-ATPase by over 60% but stimulated lysosomal H(+)-ATPase activity by only 28%; it had little or no activity against the remaining N-ethylmaleimide-insensitive ATPase in kidney microsomes and other transport ATPases. Stimulation of ATPase activity appeared to result from binding of the activator to the H(+)-ATPase. Activation was saturable, with a Hill coefficient of 1 at low protein concentrations. Both activator binding and stimulation of H(+)-ATPase activity were enhanced at pH values less than or equal to 6.5. The activator has selective effects on different H(+)-ATPases and is poised to activate the enzyme at low physiologic values of cytosolic pH; this newly identified cytosolic proteins may participate in the physiologic regulation of the vacuolar H(+)-ATPase.

Vacuolar H+ ATPases reside in the plasma membrane of several segments of the mammalian nephron. In the proximal tubule, H+ ATPase is located in both the brush-border microvilli and in subvillar invaginations, while in the collecting duct intercalated cells, it is primarily in plasmalemma-associated membranes. H+ ATPase isolated from bovine kidney brush border has a cluster of polypeptides of Mr greater than 31,000 found associated with the Mr = 31,000 subunit, whereas H+ ATPase isolated from microsomes dose not have the additional associated polypeptides (Wang, Z.-Q., and Gluck, S. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 21957-21965, 1990). In this study, we describe the production of several new monoclonal antibodies to the bovine vacuolar H+ ATPase Mr = 31,000 subunit. Two of the antibodies differed in reactivity to the cluster of Mr greater than 31,000 subunits found in purified bovine kidney brush-border H+ ATPase. Antibody E11 reacted with both the Mr = 31,000 and Mr greater than 31,000 subunits and stained renal brush border intensely. Antibody H8 did not react with the Mr greater than 31,000 polypeptides and did not stain brush border. The heterogeneity of the Mr greater than 31,000 subunits did not appear attributable to glycosylation or phosphorylation. These findings provide further evidence for heterogeneity of the Mr = 31,000 subunit in different renal membrane compartments and suggest a role for the Mr greater than 31,000 polypeptides specific to the brush-border microvilli.
