The actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity of myosin II from the soil amoeba Acanthamoeba castellanii is regulated by phosphorylation of 3 serine residues on the myosin II heavy chain. Partial chymotryptic digestion of 32P-labeled myosin II cleaves from the tail end of the myosin II heavy chain a small peptide which contains all three phosphorylation sites. During purification the phosphorylated peptide is resolved into several different species as a result of heterogeneity both in phosphate content and in size (probably due to chymotryptic cleavage at the carboxyl terminus). However, all forms of the peptide have an identical amino terminus. The sequence of the first 58 residues of the peptide is: N-S-A-L-E-S-D-K-Q-I10-L-E-D-E-I-G-D-L-H- E20-K-N-K-Q-L-Q-A-K-I-A30-Q-L-Q-D-E-I-D-G-T- P40-S-S-R-G-G-S-T-R-G-A50-S-A-R-G-A-S-V-R. The phosphorylated serines are at positions 46, 51, and 56. The first 36 residues of the sequence display a repeating 3-4-3-4 pattern of hydrophobic residues suggesting that this section of the peptide forms an alpha-helical coiled-coil structure. A -Gly-Thr-Pro sequence at residues 38-40 disrupts the alpha-helix and, at the same point, the repeating pattern of non-polar residues is lost. It is likely that the residues extending from Gly-38 to the end of the myosin II tail, which include the 3 phosphorylatable serines, form a randomly coiled or small globular structure. This is the first report of the sequence around the regulatory phosphorylation sites on any myosin heavy chain.

Sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles were preloaded with either 45Ca2+ or unlabeled Ca2+ X 45Ca2+ efflux and influx, together with phosphorylation of the membrane-bound Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase, were determined in the presence of either ATP and ADP or acetyl phosphate. ATP induced 45Ca2+ efflux. This ATP-induced 45Ca2+ efflux depended on ADP, external Ca2+, and Mg2+. The Ca2+ concentration dependence of the efflux was quite similar to the Ca2+ concentration dependence of the ATP-induced 45Ca2+ influx and the enzyme phosphorylation. The rate of the efflux was proportional to the steady level of the phosphoenzyme. The affinity for free ADP in this efflux was extremely high, being in good agreement with the affinity for free ADP in the transphosphorylation from the phosphoenzyme to ADP. These results show that the ATP-induced 45Ca2+ efflux represents the Ca2+-Ca2+ exchange (between the external medium and the internal medium) mediated by the phosphoenzyme. In this exchange, Mg2+ was essential for the exposure of the bound Ca2+ of the phosphoenzyme to the internal medium. 45Ca2+ efflux and influx were also activated by acetyl phosphate. This acetyl phosphate-induced efflux required the external Ca2+. The Ca2+ concentration dependence of the efflux agreed closely with that of the enzyme phosphorylation by acetyl phosphate. Furthermore, the rate of the efflux was proportional to the steady level of the phosphoenzyme. These and other findings show that the acetyl phosphate-induced 45Ca2+ efflux represents the Ca2+-Ca2+ exchange mediated by the phosphoenzyme and further demonstrate the direct dissociation of Ca2+ from the Ca2+-bound phosphoenzyme to the external medium in this Ca2+-Ca2+ exchange. The rate of the acetyl phosphate-induced, phosphoenzyme-mediated Ca2+ efflux was much slower than that of the ATP-, ADP-induced, phosphoenzyme-mediated Ca2+ efflux. This is consistent with our previous conclusion that the Ca2+ binding site is partially occluded upon the phosphorylation of the enzyme.

Intracellular calcium (Ca) concentration in erythrocytes (RBCs) is controlled by a low passive influx through a relatively impermeable membrane and by active efflux catalyzed by Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase. Since precipitation of alpha-globin chains in thalassemic RBCs may interfere with normal membrane function, we studied the RBC intracellular Ca content and the RBC membrane Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase activity in two groups of patients with nonsplenectomized (n = 9) and splenectomized (n = 9) beta-thalassemia intermedia and in two groups of matched controls. The mean +/- SD Ca concentration in the nonsplenectomized (n = 12) and splenectomized (n = 6) controls were 6.1 +/- 6.0 and 5.8 +/- 3.4 mumol Ca per liter of RBCs, respectively, compared with 26.0 +/- 7.6 (P less than .001) and 85 +/- 24.4 (P less than .001) in the nonsplenectomized and splenectomized thalassemia patients, respectively. The mean +/- SD Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase activity in the eight nonsplenectomized patients was 0.77 +/- 0.58 mumol inorganic phosphate (Pi) per milligram of protein per hour compared with 0.66 +/- 0.41 in the controls (P = NS). Similar values were obtained for the splenectomized patients and their controls. No correlation was found between either the intracellular Ca content or the Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase activity with the peripheral nucleated RBC count. These findings suggest that there is a major defect in the membrane of the thalassemic RBC leading to an increased Ca content that is more pronounced in splenectomized patients.

In previous work from this laboratory, a partially purified protein kinase from the soil amoeba Acanthamoeba castellanii was shown to phosphorylate the heavy chain of the two single-headed Acanthamoeba myosin isoenzymes, myosin IA and IB, resulting in a 10- to 20-fold increase in their actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activities (Maruta, H., and Korn, E.D. (1977) J. Biol. Chem. 252, 8329-8332). A myosin I heavy chain kinase has now been purified to near homogeneity from Acanthamoeba by chromatography on DE-52 cellulose, phosphocellulose, and Procion red dye, followed by chromatography on histone-Sepharose. Myosin I heavy chain kinase contains a single polypeptide of 107,000 Da by electrophoretic analysis. Molecular sieve chromatography yields a Stokes radius of 4.1 nm, consistent with a molecular weight of 107,000 for a native protein with a frictional ratio of approximately 1.3:1. The kinase catalyzes the incorporation of 0.9 to 1.0 mol of phosphate into the heavy chain of both myosins IA and IB. Phosphoserine has been shown to be the phosphorylated amino acid in myosin IB. The kinase has highest specific activity toward myosin IA and IB, about 3-4 mumol of phosphate incorporated/min/mg (30 degrees C) at concentrations of myosin I that are well below saturating levels. The kinase also phosphorylates histone 2A, isolated smooth muscle light chains, and, to a very small extent, casein, but has no activity toward phosvitin or myosin II, a third Acanthamoeba myosin isoenzyme with a very different structure from myosin IA and IB. Myosin I heavy chain kinase requires Mg2+ but is not dependent on Ca2+, Ca2+/calmodulin, or cAMP for activity. The kinase undergoes an apparent autophosphorylation.

A vesicular fraction isolated from bovine aorta and enriched in fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum (FSR) exhibited active calcium transport and ATPase activity. By use of a hypotonic NaHCO3 extraction solution, an active preparation was isolated that retained activity for up to 4 days. A small but significant (P less than 0.05) Ca2+-stimulated, Mg2+-dependent ATPase associated with calcium transport was demonstrated with a specific activity of 0.33 mumol inorganic phosphate (Pi).mg-1.min-1. The basal Mg2+ ATPase demonstrated Michaelis-Menten kinetics [Km(Mg2+-ATP) = 0.44 +/- 0.01 X 10(-3) M; Vmax = 2.22 +/- 0.01 mumolPi.mg-1.min-1]. The Ca2+-stimulated, Mg2+-ATPase demonstrated apparent substrate inhibition (Ks approximately 10 mM) with no evidence for end-product (ADP) or excess added Ca2+ contributing to this inhibition. Oxalate-supported active calcium uptake velocities also exhibited quantitatively similar substrate inhibition. These results suggest that FSR from vascular smooth muscle contains either two enzymes or one enzyme with two isomeric forms, one of which is associated with the calcium uptake activity of this structure and the other of unknown function.

The effect of lipid environment on the activation of a vanadate-sensitive Mg(2+)-ATPase purified from human erythrocytes was studied in detergent-lipid-protein mixed micelles. ATPase activity was stimulated maximally by phosphatidylserine. Other anionic diacylglycerophospholipids (phosphatidic acid, cardiolipin, phosphatidylglycerol, and phosphatidylinositol) supported 25-100% of the phosphatidylserine-stimulated activity. Another aminophospholipid, egg PE, supported 38% of the phosphatidylserine-stimulated activity. The phosphoinositides (phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate) also stimulated the ATPase; however, activity decreased with increasing lipid phosphorylation. Monoacyl negatively charged lipids (lysophosphatidylserine, fatty acids) and zwitterionic lipids (phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin) did not activate the enzyme. ATPase activation was dependent on phospholipid fatty acyl chain composition: ATPase activity increased with increasing PS acyl chain length, and the optimal fatty acid composition was one saturated and one unsaturated fatty acid. However, the long, unsaturated acyl chain requirement could be satisfied by nonactivating lipids. The characteristics of this ATPase are similar to those of the Mg(2+)-ATP-dependent aminophospholipid flippase, suggesting that it may be associated with the transporter.

We have shown that red blood cell (RBC) adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) is better maintained and that there is less hemolysis and K+ leakage in hypotonic experimental additive solutions (EASs) containing glutamine and glutamine plus phosphate (Pi) than in the conventional additive solution Adsol during blood bank storage. The objective of this study was to determine if the beneficial effect produced in these media correlates with better preservation of RBC membrane properties including lipid content, phospholipid organization, aminophospholipid transport (flippase), and prothrombin converting activity. Aliquots of packed RBCs were stored in EASs containing adenine, glucose, sodium chloride, and mannitol, with 10 mmol/L glutamine (EAS 44) or with 10 mmol/L glutamine and 20 mmol/L Pi(EAS 45), or in Adsol. RBC membranes were studied after 0, 28, 42, and 84 days of storage, and vesicle membranes were studied after 84 days. RBC cholesterol and phospholipid content remained significantly greater (P < .01) in EASs than in Adsol. The degree of membrane vesiculation was more than 50% lower in EASs than in Adsol (P < .01). After 42 days of storage, the accessibility of phosphatidylethanolamine to phospholipases was approximately 1.5 times greater for Adsol and EAS 44 samples than for EAS 45 samples (43.5% v 28%). The rates of phosphatidylserine transport were 43% to 70% lower for stored cells but were not dependent on storage media. The amounts of bands 3 and 4.1 in the microvesicle membranes were not statistically different in any of the preparations. These results suggest that storage of RBCs in glutamine and Pi-medium better maintains ATP, lipid content, and phospholipid asymmetry and results in decreased vesiculation.

Pseudosubstrates and inhibitors of ATPases were studied with respect to their capability to modulate the kinetic behavior of Mg2+-ATPase and aminophospholipid translocation in red blood cell ghosts. ATP was substituted by the pseudosubstrates of P-type ATPases acetyl phosphate and p-nitrophenyl phosphate. With both pseudosubstrates, aminophospholipid translocation from the outer to the inner leaflets of resealed erythrocyte ghosts could be observed, although with a significantly decreased velocity compared to that in presence of ATP, both with respect to phosphate hydrolysis and translocation. Similarly, the apparent affinities for the pseudosubstrates were much lower than for ATP. Among the inhibitors studied, suramin acted as a competitive inhibitor of ATP towards both Mg2+-ATPase activity and aminophospholipid translocation. However, the inhibition of translocation occurred at a higher inhibitor concentration than the inhibition of Mg2+-ATPase activity. With elaiophylin, only a partial inhibition of Mg2+-ATPase activity could be detected, but translocation of labeled phosphatidylserine was almost completely abolished. With eosin Y, an almost complete inhibition of both Mg2+-ATPase activity and translocation could be achieved. The observed responses of aminophospholipid translocation to ATPase inhibitors strongly suggest that a P-type ATPase, part of which displays a Mg2+-ATPase activity, is involved in aminophospholipid translocation.

We studied the ATP dependence of NHE-1, the ubiquitous isoform of the Na+/H+ antiporter, using the whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique to apply nucleotides intracellularly while measuring cytosolic pH (pHi) by microfluorimetry. Na+/H+ exchange activity was measured as the Na(+)-driven pHi recovery from an acid load, which was imposed via the patch pipette. In Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) fibroblasts stably transfected with NHE-1, omission of ATP from the pipette solution inhibited Na+/H+ exchange. Conversely, ATP perfusion restored exchange activity in cells that had been metabolically depleted by 2-deoxy-D-glucose and oligomycin. In cells dialyzed in the presence of ATP, no "run-down" was observed even after extended periods, suggesting that the nucleotide is the only diffusible factor required for optimal NHE-1 activity. Half-maximal activation of the antiporter was obtained at approximately 5 mM Mg-ATP. Submillimolar concentrations failed to sustain Na+/H+ exchange even when an ATP regenerating system was included in the pipette solution. High ATP concentrations are also known to be required for the optimal function of other cation exchangers. In the case of the Na/Ca2+ exchanger, this requirement has been attributed to an aminophospholipid translocase, or "flippase.". The involvement of this enzyme in Na+/H+ exchange was examined using fluorescent phosphatidylserine, which is actively translocated by the flippase. ATP depletion decreased the transmembrane uptake of NBD-labeled phosphatidylserine (NBD-PS), indicating that the flippase was inhibited. Diamide, an agent reported to block the flippase, was as potent as ATP depletion in reducing NBD-PS uptake. However, diamide had no effect on Na+/H+ exchange, implying that the effect of ATP is not mediated by changes in lipid distribution across the plasma membrane. K-ATP and ATP gamma S were as efficient as Mg-ATP in sustaining NHE-1 activity, while AMP-PNP and AMP-PCP only partially substituted for ATP. In contrast, GTP gamma S was ineffective. We conclude that ATP is the only soluble factor necessary for optimal activity of the NHE-1 isoform of the antiporter. Mg2+ does not appear to be essential for the stimulatory effect of ATP. We propose that two mechanisms mediate the activation of the antiporter by ATP: one requires hydrolysis and is likely an energy-dependent event. The second process does not involve hydrolysis of the gamma-phosphate, excluding mediation by protein or lipid kinases. We suggest that this effect is due to binding of ATP to an as yet unidentified, nondiffusible effector that activates the antiporter.

Cys residues were directed into positions 17, 28, 41 and 85 of a Cys6-->Ser mutant of subunit epsilon of spinach chloroplast F0F1 ATP synthase. Wild-type and engineered epsilon were expressed in Escherichia coli, purified in the presence of urea, refolded and reassembled with spinach chloroplast F1 lacking the epsilon subunit [F1(-epsilon)]. Cys-containing epsilon variants were modified with a sulfhydryl-reactive photolabile cross-linker. Photocross-linking of epsilon to F1(-epsilon) yielded the same SDS gel pattern of cross-link products independent of the presence or absence of Mg2+ x ADP, phosphate and Mg2+ x ATP. Epsilon (wild type) [Ser6,Cys28]epsilon and [Ser6,Cys41]epsilon were cross-linked with subunit gamma. With chloroplast F0F1 the same cross-link pattern was obtained, except for one extra cross-link, probably between [Ser6,Cys28]epsilon and F0 subunit III. [Ser6,Cys17]epsilon and [Ser6,Cys85]epsilon did not produce cross-links. Cross-linking of epsilon, [Ser6,Cys28]epsilon, [Ser6,Cys41]epsilon to gamma in soluble chloroplast F1 impaired the ability of epsilon to inhibit Ca2+-ATPase activity. The Mg2+-ATPase activity of soluble F1 (measured in the presence of 30% MeOH) was not affected by cross-linking epsilon with gamma. Functional reconstitution of photophosphorylation in F1-depleted thylakoids was observed with F1 in which gamma was cross-linked to [Ser6,Cys28]epsilon or [Ser6,Cys41]epsilon but not with wild-type epsilon. In view of the intersubunit rotation of gamma relative to (alphabeta)3, which is driven by ATP hydrolysis, gamma and epsilon would seem to act concertedly as parts of the 'rotor' relative to the 'stator' (alphabeta)3.
