Effects in vitro of benthiocarb on rat brain Mg2+-ATPase were studied to elucidate the interaction of benthiocarb with Mg2+-ATPase. Based on IC50 values, it was evident that Mg2+-ATPase was sensitive to benthiocarb. Non-competitive inhibition with respect to activation by ATP was indicated by decreased maximal velocity (V) without change in Michaelis Menten constant (Km). It was also noted that pyridine-2-aldoxime (30 microM), pyridine-4-aldoxime (35 microM) and L-cysteine (90 microM) neutralized the inhibition of benthiocarb (8 microM).

Reactive disulfide reagents (RDSs) with a biotin moiety have been synthesized and found to cause Ca2+ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicles. The RDSs oxidize SH sites on SR proteins via a thiol-disulfide exchange, with the formation of mixed disulfide bonds between SR proteins and biotin. Biotinylated RDSs identified a 106-kDa protein which was purified by biotin-avidin chromatography. Disulfide reducing agents, like dithiothreitol, reverse the effect of RDSs and thus promoted active re-uptake of Ca2+ and dissociated biotin from the labeled protein indicating that biotin was covalently linked to the 106-kDa protein via a disulfide bond. Several lines of evidence indicate that this protein is not Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase and is not a proteolytic fragment or a subunit of the 400-kDa Ca2+-ryanodine receptor complex (RRC). Monoclonal antibodies against the ATPase did not cross-react with the 106-kDa protein, and polyclonal antibodies against the 106-kDa did not cross-react with either the ATPase or the 400-kDa RRC. RDSs did not label the 400-kDa RRC with biotin. Linear sucrose gradients used to purify the RRC show that the 106-kDa protein migrated throughout 5-20% linear sucrose gradients, including the high sucrose density protein fractions containing 400-kDa RRC. Protease inhibitors diisopropylfluorophosphate used to prevent proteolysis of 400-kDa proteins did not alter the migration of 106-kDa in sucrose gradients nor the patterns of biotin labeling of the 106-kDa protein. Incorporation of highly purified 106-kDa protein (free of RRC) in planar bilayers revealed cationic channels with large Na+ (gNa+ = 375 +/- 15 pS) and Ca2+ (gCa2+ = 107.7 +/- 12 pS) conductances which were activated by micromolar [Ca2+]free or millimolar [ATP] and blocked by micromolar ruthenium red or millimolar [Mg2+]. Thus, the SR contains a sulfhydryl-activated 106-kDa Ca2+ channel with apparently similar characteristics to the 400-kDa "feet" proteins.

Kinesin is a microtubule-activated, mechanochemical ATPase capable of moving particles along microtubules and making microtubules glide along a solid substrate. In this study we used limited proteolysis to study the structure of bovine brain kinesin, a heterotetramer composed of two heavy (120-kDa) and two light (62-kDa) chains. alpha-chymotrypsin, trypsin, and subtilisin all produced a protease-resistant 45-kDa fragment from the kinesin heavy chain. As isolated by gel-filtration chromatography, this fragment contains both the microtubule-binding site and the ATP catalytic site of the molecule. Proteolytic cleavage stimulated microtubule-dependent Mg2+-ATPase activity 4- to 5-fold up to 75-120 mumol ATP/min/mg. Cleavage also increased the affinity of the fragment for microtubules at least 10-fold. Since the purified fragment does not support the gliding of flagellar axonemes, we propose that cleavage of the heavy chain uncouples ATPase activity from its translocator activity, which may require other parts of the molecule.

Synaptic vesicles purified on a sucrose-KCl sedimentation gradient were tested for their ability to accumulate [1-14C]acetylcholine ([1-14C]ACh) in the absence and in the presence of AH5183 and cetiedil. Kinetic studies of ACh transport showed that it was time dependent and saturable as a function of ACh concentration, with a KT of 1.2 mM. The protein-modifying agents N-ethylmaleimide and 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole were powerful inhibitors of ACh uptake. In agreement with other studies, AH5183 was found to be a potent inhibitor of ACh uptake by synaptic vesicles. Inhibition was of the mixed noncompetitive type, and the inhibition constant was 45.2 +/- 3.4 nM. Cetiedil, a drug that resembles ACh, was previously shown on intact nerve endings to inhibit the translocation of newly synthesized ACh into the synaptic vesicle compartment, and we demonstrate here that cetiedil is indeed an efficient blocker of ACh uptake by isolated synaptic vesicles. It acted as a competitive inhibitor, with a Ki of 118.5 +/- 9.5 nM. Neither ATP-dependent calcium uptake nor Mg2+-ATPase activity was affected by the drugs, a finding showing their specificity toward the ACh uptake process. The binding of L-[3H]AH5183 to intact vesicles was characterized in the absence or the presence of ACh or cetiedil. Saturation experiments showed a total binding capacity of approximately 126 pmol/mg of vesicular protein and a dissociation constant of 19.9 +/- 4.1 nM under control conditions.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

In order to investigate the membrane activities underlying development of neural cells, a histochemical localization of Ca2+-ATPase, Mg2+-ATPase and alkaline phosphatase (AlPase) activities in the rat cerebellar cortex during postnatal development was carried out. In the developing cerebellar cortex, ATPase activity was mainly associated with the plasma membranes of Purkinje and granular cells. This activity appeared in the immature Purkinje cells at birth and was proportionally increased throughout postnatal development. It was observed that the ATPase activity of migratory granular cells during a critical period from 3 and 15 postnatal days was increased in a funicular pattern in the developing cerebellar cortex. Conversely, peak AlPase activity in the developing cerebellar cortex was localized in the proliferative external granular cells until 7 postnatal days. Apparently, these phosphatase activities were not present in Bergmann glial fibers during the course of granular cell migration. The present findings were taken to indicate that neuronal cells in the cerebellar cortex have acquired a membrane-bound ATPase which can participate in Ca2+ transport or ATP metabolism during the course of early postnatal development.

It is established that at the early stage of total heart ischemia in rats (5-10 min) the oligomycin-sensitive ATPase activity of mitochondria measured in heart homogenates in the medium and containing no Mg2+ decreases considerably, whereas the activity of respiratory chain, the value of respiratory control and Mg2+-ATPase activity are practically unchanged. The hypothetic trigger mechanism is suggested for Mg2+ ejection from mitochondria under conditions of respiration cessation. It is supposed to be a defence reaction of cells aimed to prevent ATP hydrolysis by mitochondria under ischemia.

To test the possibility that ATP diffusion limits the kinetics of myosin ATPase (EC. 3.6.1.3) in situ, myosin was covalently bound to the surface of 2 kinds of films: collagen and Immunodyne. On collagen films, it was bound either with 1-ethyl-3 (3 dimethyl-aminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC) or with dimethyl-3,3'-dithiobis(propionimidate) (DTP). The apparent Km for K+-ATP rose from 0.26 mM for free myosin in solution to 2-5 mM for covalently bound myosin, and maximum K+-ATPase activity was very low. With the other film, Immunodyne from Pall, the maximum activity of bound myosin was 170 nmol per min per 1.5 cm2 film. The apparent Km for K+-ATP was 2.1 mM when the incubation mixture was vigorously stirred, and the effect of stirring indicated that the kinetics of K+-ATP hydrolysis are limited by external diffusion. The large amount of myosin bound per unit of Immunodyne film surface permitted the study of Mg2+-ATPase activity, although it was 400-500 times less than the K+-ATPase activity. The apparently non-Michaelian kinetics of Mg2+-ATP hydrolysis are attributable to the external diffusion. The apparent Michaelis constant observed at low Mg2+-ATP concentrations rose from 0.27 microM for myosin in solution to 5 microM for myosin bound to Immunodyne film.

It has been shown that the ATP-dependent incorporation of [14C]serine into phosphatidylserine in rat liver mitochondrial and microsomal fractions is prevented by EGTA. On the other hand, at low (microM) Ca2+ concentrations, serine incorporation is strongly stimulated by ATP and Mg2+. This stimulatory effect is reduced by calcium ionophore A23187. It is therefore suggested that the ATP-dependent process is that of serine base-exchange reaction, stimulated by endogenous Ca2+ accumulated inside the microsomal vesicles by Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase. The mitochondrial activity can be accounted for by contamination by the endoplasmic reticulum.

The fluorescent reagent 9-anthroylnitrile (ANN) reacted preferentially with serine among various amino acids tested. When the myosin subfragment-1 (S-1) was incubated with ANN, the 9-anthroyl (AN) group was covalently incorporated into the S-1 heavy chain. The incorporation of the AN group was enhanced by the presence of ATP and ADP. In the presence of ATP, 0.98 mol of the AN group was maximally incorporated into S-1. The resulting S-1 derivative exhibited four absorption maxima in the range of 300-400 nm and fluoresced strongly with an emission maximum at 462 nm upon excitation at 390 nm. The spectral properties were similar to those of the AN-derivatives of serine and polyserine. When 0.98 mol of the AN group was incorporated into S-1, the K+- and Ca2+-ATPase activities decreased to 30%, while the Mg2+-ATPase activity increased to 220% of the original value. Tryptic digestion of the labeled S-1 revealed that the AN group was attached only to the NH2-terminal 23-kDa tryptic peptide of the S-1 heavy chain. Neither the 20-nor the 50-kDa peptide was labeled with ANN. The results suggest that a serine residue, which becomes more reactive in the presence of the nucleotide, is located in the 23-kDa tryptic peptide of S-1.

The actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activities of Acanthamoeba myosins IA, IB, and IC are expressed only when a single site in their heavy chains is phosphorylated by a myosin I heavy chain-specific kinase. We show that phosphorylation occurs at Ser-315 in the myosin IB heavy chain, Ser-311 in myosin IC, and a threonine residue at a corresponding position in myosin IA whose amino acid sequence is as yet unknown. The most obvious feature common to the three substrates is a basic amino acid(s) 2 or 3 residues before the site of phosphorylation. The phosphorylation site is located between the ATP- and actin-binding sites, which corresponds to the middle of the 50-kDa domain of skeletal muscle myosin subfragment 1. The sequence similarity between the region surrounding the phosphorylation site of myosin I and subfragment 1 is much lower than the average sequence similarity between myosin I and subfragment 1. This is consistent with the hypothesis that the conformation of this region of myosin I differs from that of the corresponding region in skeletal muscle myosin and that phosphorylation converts the conformation of the actomyosin I complex into a conformation comparable to that present in actosubfragment 1 without phosphorylation. The protein sequences obtained in the course of this work led to the conclusion that the myosin I genes previously identified as myosin IB and IL (myosin-like) heavy chains actually are the myosin IC and IB heavy chains, respectively. Finally, we report a modification of the method for monitoring the appearance of 32Pi during sequencing of 32P-labeled peptides that results in almost complete recovery of the radioactivity, thus allowing unequivocal assignment of the position of the phosphorylated residue.
