Human skin fibroblasts, grown to confluency in the presence of 32P for random labelling of the phospholipids, showed upon 24 h incubation in the presence of either 8 mM L-serine or 4 mM ethanolamine an increased content of phosphatidylserine (150% of control cells) or phosphatidylethanolamine (116% of control cells), respectively. Concomitantly the phosphatidylcholine correspondingly decreased. Upon cell harvesting and gentle enzyme preparation the base-treated cells demonstrated a significantly higher unstimulated, fluoride- and thyrotropin-stimulated activity of adenylate cyclase. The activities of total ATPase, ouabain-sensitive ATPase, 5'-nucleotidase and gamma-glutamyltransferase remained unaltered. When subjecting enzyme preparations from fibroblasts to ultrasonication the activity of adenylate cyclase decreased progressively with energy applied, whereas the activities of the other enzymes were unaltered ((K+ + Na+)-ATPase, 5'-nucleotidase) or even increased (Mg2+-ATPase, gamma-glutamyltransferase). The results have a bearing upon the regulatory function of the phospholipid microenvironment of membrane-bound enzymes.

A plasma membrane-enriched fraction was prepared from homogenized rat pancreatic islets by a one-step sucrose gradient centrifugation. Using 125I-wheat germ agglutinin as a plasma membrane probe, a fraction was obtained at a sucrose density of about 1.10 that was enriched in 5'-nucleotidase, Mg2+-ATPase and alkaline phosphatase. The fraction contained little, if any, monoamino oxidase activity, insulin or DNA. Hydrolysis of 3-0-methyl-fluoresceinphosphate was stimulated by K+ (10mM) at a pH optimum of pH 8.2. Hydrolysis of ATP-gamma-32P in the presence of MgCl2 was of high specific activity and was optimum at pH 7.0 and 8.2. K+ did not affect ATP-hydrolysis. At pH 8.2, a small fraction of the total Mg2+-ATPase activity was inhibited by ouabain in the presence of Na+ and K+. Since K+-stimulated phosphatase activity does not correlate with Mg2+-ATPase, the two assay systems define separate enzymatic processes.

The ionic influence and ouabain sensitivity of lymphocyte mg-2+-atpase and Mg-2+-(Na+ +K+)-activated ATPase were studied in intact cells, microsomal fraction and isolated plasma membranes. The active site of 5'-nucleotidase and Mg2+-ATPase seemed to be localized on the external side of the plasma membrane whereas the ATP binding site of (Na+ +K+)-ATPase was located inside the membrane. Concanavalin A induced an early stimulation of Mg2+-APTase and (Na+ +K+)-ATPase both on intact cells and purified plasma membranes. In contrast, 5'-nucleotidase activity was not affected by the mitogen. Although the thymocyte Mg2+-ATPase activity was 3-5 times lower than in spleen lymphocytes, it was much more stimulated in the former cells (about 40 versus 20%). (Na+ +K+)-ATPase activity was undectectable in thymocytes. However, in spleen lymphocytes (Na+ +K+)-ATPase activity can be detected and was 30% increased by concanavalin A. Several aspects of this enzymic stimulation had also characteristic features of blast transformation induced by concanavalin A, suggesting a possible role of these enzymes, especially Mg2+-ATPase, in lymphocyte stimulation.

Liver plasma membranes were isolated from regenerating rat livers between 20 h and 10 days after partial hepatectomy in order to study the effect of partial hepatectomy on some membrane enzyme activities. Mg2+-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.4) activity, but not (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity, decreased slightly at 2 days, whereas leucyl beta-naphthylamidase (EC3.4.1.1) and 5'-nucleotidase (EC3.1.3.5) activities increased considerably at 1-2 and 3-5 days, respectively. These changes were not parallel to a sharp increase in mitotic activity of liver cells which occurred at 36 h.

The Wachstein-Meisel ATPase histochemical method has been previously used to demonstrate the ultrastructural localization of this enzyme in both whole liver and isolated plasma membranes following fixation in glutaraldehyde. In the present study biochemical assay, of liver plasma membrane enzymes following fixation in cold 2.5% glutaraldehyde showed that approximately 40% of Mg2+-ATPase, but only 4% of (Na+-K+)-ATPase activity remained in membranes from either control or ANIT-treated rats. In addition, 5'-nucleotidase activity was almost abolished by fixation. The present results indicate that the Wachstein-Meisel method, when applied to biliary canaliculi, can reliably be used to demonstrate the ultrastructural, histochemical localization of Mg2+-ATPase but not that of (NA+-K+)-ATPase. Furthermore, the method permits a valid comparison to be made of the relative Mg2+-ATPase activity in normal and chemically damaged biliary canaliculi.

Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and two strains of normotensive rats were compared with respect to enzymatic activities and calcium accumulation of plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum enriched fractions from their mesenteric arteries. Increased specific activities of alkaline phosphatase, 5'-nucleotidase and Mg2+-ATPase, and increased ATP-dependent calcium accumulation were found in 5- to 6-month-old SHR as compared to both strains fo age-matched normotensive rats. Alkaline phosphatase was increased in 33-day-old "early hypertensive" and 3- to 4-month-old SHR, but 5'-nucleotidase, Mg2+-ATPase, and calcium accumulation were not. Hydralazine treatment of young SHR partially prevented the increase of both alkaline phosphatase activity and blood pressure that develops with age. The relationship between alkaline phosphatase activity and the alterations in vascular reactivity associated with hypertension remains to be determined.

To determine whether choleretic infusions of bile acids modified the function or structure of the membrane of the bile canaliculus, sodium taurocholate (NaTc) or dehydrocholate (DHC) was infused into male rats at a rate of 80 mumoles per hour over an 18-hour period. Bile was collected by fistula and phospholipid and cholesterol content was measured in bile, liver homogenates, and isolated liver plasma membranes (LPM) enriched in bile canaliculi. Na+, K+-ATPase, Mg2+-ATPase, 5'-nucleotidase, and alkaline phosphatase activities were also measured in LPM. NaTc infusions enhanced cholesterol and phospholipid output in the bile in association with a significant increase in phospholipid in both LPM and liver homogenate. Although DHC infusions resulted in a comparable excretion of bile acid, phospholipid and cholesterol output in bile did not increase from control values and the concentration of these lipids in LPM and liver homogenate also did not change. However, LPM Na+, K+-ATPase significantly increased after DHC infusions compared to NaTc-infused animals or controls. Neither bile acid altered the activities of Mg2+-ATPase, 5'-nucleotidase, or alkaline phosphatase. Both bile acids increased the diameter of the lumen of the bile canaliculus as assessed by scanning electron microscopy and produced irregularities and outpouchings in the canalicular membrane. Diverticuli and loss of microvilli were most prominent with DHC infusions whereas canalicular side branching and the density of microvilli, either remained unchanged or increased following NaTc infusions. Although the morphologic findings are qualitative, the results of these studies indicate that chronic choleretic infusions of NaTc and DHC have divergent effects, not only on enzyme activities in liver plasma membrane, but on phospholipid composition and 3-dimensional structure. These findings suggest that bile acids may after biliary secretion not only through their osmotic effects, but by modifying lipids and enzymes in the membrane of the bile canaliculus.

Detergent solubilized bovine milk fat globule membrane material studied by crossed immunoelectrophoresis combined with histochemical techniques revealed four major protein complexes. All four were found to bind to concanavalin A and three were identified as sialoglycoproteins. Xanthine oxidase activity was associated with the non-sialoglycoprotein precipitate. Immunoabsorption with intact milk fat globules showed an internal location of the xanthine oxidase, whereas the three other main proteins plus Mg2+-ATPase and 5'-nucleotidase were disposed on the outer membrane surface. The major proteins from milk fat globule membrane and membrane material isolated from skim milk showed immunochemical identity.

The regulation of adrenergic receptors in rat heart was measured in rats made hyperthyroid by injection with thyroxine and made hypothyroid by addition of propylthiouracil to the drinking water. Hyperthyroid rats display cardiac hypertrophy and a decrease in epididymal fat pad weight. The maximal beta-receptor level of ventricular membranes, as determined by (-)-[3H]dihydroalprenolol binding, was increased 60% by thyroxine treatment and decreased about 30% by propylthiouracil treatment. The affinity of the beta receptor was unchanged after thyroxine or propylthiouracil treatment. The maximal activity of the isoproterenol-stimulated adenylate cyclase (EC 4.6.1.1) varied with thyroid state in a manner parallel to the increase in beta-adrenergic binding sites. Thyroxine treatment also increases by 2-fold the beta receptors in isolated rat fat cells. Propylthiouracil treatment lowered the level of alpha receptors in heart by 30% as measured by [3H]dihydroergocryptine binding, but increased the affinity about 2.5-fold. The highest level of alpha receptors was seen in control hearts. These studies indicate that thyroxine may control the turnover of beta-adrenergic receptors in heart and fat cells and regulate physiological responses in these tissues via a hormone-hormone interplay system. Thyroxine treatment reduced the activity of the membrane-bound Mg2+-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) and 5'-mononucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) but appears to increase the activity of the (Na+ + K+)ATPase (EC 3.6.1.4).

Plasma membranes were isolated from rat liver mainly under isotonic conditions. As marker enzymes for the plasma membrane, 5'-nucleotidase and (Na+ + K+)-ATPase were used. The yield of plasma membrane was 0.6-0.9 mg protein per g wet weight of liver. The recovery of 5'-nucleotidase and (Na+ +K+)-ATPase activity was 18 and 48% of the total activity of the whole-liver homogenate, respectively. Judged from the activity of glucose-6-phosphatase and succinate dehydrogenase in the plasma membrane, and from the electron microscopic observation of it, the contamination by microsomes and mitochondria was very low. A further homogenization of the plasma membrane yielded two fractions, the light and heavy fractions, in a discontinuous sucrose gradient centrifugation. The light fraction showed higher specific activities of 5'-nucleotidase, alkaline phosphatase, (Na+ +K+)-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase, whereas the heavy one showed a higher specific activity of adenylate cyclase. Ligation of the bile duct for 48 h decreased the specific activities of (Na2+ +K+)-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase in the light fraction, whereas it had no significant influence on the activities of these enzymes in the heavy fraction. The specific activity of alkaline phosphate was elevated in both fractions by the obstruction of the bile flow. Electron microscopy on sections of the plasma membrane subfractions showed that the light fraction consisted of vesicles of various sizes and that the heavy fractions contained membrane sheets and paired membrane strips connected by junctional complexes, as well as vesicles. The origin of these two fractions is discussed and it is suggested that the light fraction was derived from the bile front of the liver cell surface and the heavy one contained the blood front and the lateral surface of it.
