The soluble fraction of uterine tissue was found to contain a factor which is a potent activator of various cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (with the exception of the retinal photoreceptor cell enzyme). The protein origin of this factor was established, using proteolysis, precipitation with trichloroacetic acid. The activator was purified by gel filtration on Sephadex G-25 and Biogel P-4 as well as by a highly effective liquid chromatography. The activator was shown to be a peptide with Mr = 1150 Da. The peptide was thermostable and stable within a broad range of pH. Besides phosphodiesterases, the peptide activated 5'-nucleotidase and Mg2+-ATPase of photoreceptor membranes.

Erythrocyte membrane enzymes and chemical constituents were studied in animals presenting enzootic bovine hematuria (EBH) and in normal animals. Mg2+-ATPase, Na+, K+, Mg2+-ATPase and ouabain insensitive Na+, K+, Mg2+-ATPase activity were decreased significantly in the affected animals. Cholesterol:phospholipid and sialic acid:phospholipid ratios also decreased in animals suffering from EBH. No significant changes were found in acetylcholinesterase, sialic acid, sulfhydryl groups and cholesterol in membranes of affected animals.

The effects of alpha 1 and alpha 2-adrenergic receptor ligands on Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase have been studied using synaptosomal plasma membranes isolated from rat brain cortex. Both phenylephrine and clonidine inhibited Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase, in a concentration-dependent fashion. IC50 values for half-maximal inhibition for phenylephrine and clonidine were 29 microM and 18 microM, respectively. The inhibitory effect of phenylephrine was reversed by the alpha antagonist prazosin while yohimbine and rauwolscine reversed the inhibition of enzyme activity by clonidine. The two antagonist subtypes were effective only against the respective agonist subtypes, demonstrating distinct subtype preferences. Analysis of the kinetics of enzyme inhibition indicate both agonists to be noncompetitive. Some evidence suggests that yohimbine may exhibit mixed agonist/antagonist properties which depend on [Ca2+]. The present study provides biochemical evidence to support auto receptor alpha-adrenergic receptor regulation of neurotransmitter release.

Isolation of F1-ATPase from Rhodospirillum rubrum by chloroform extraction of chromatophores, followed by purification on a glycerol gradient, results in a very pure enzyme preparation containing five subunits with high Ca2+-ATPase activity (15 mumol per min per mg protein). Furthermore, conditions are reported under which the purified F1 exhibits Mg2+-dependent ATPase activity of about 35 mumol per min per mg protein. NaHCO3 stimulates the Mg2+-activity from 1.5 mumol per min per mg protein to 5 mumol per min per mg protein giving a maximal activity at a concentration of about 60 mM NaHCO3. Lauryl dimethylamine oxide (LDAO), octyl glucoside and nonanoyl N-methylglucamide enhance the Mg2+-ATPase activity from 1.5 to 14, 22 and 35 mumol per min per mg protein, respectively, in the absence of NaHCO3, and from 5 to 34, 30 and 37 mumol per min per mg protein, respectively, in the presence of 50 mM NaHCO3. The Vmax is increased, but the Km for ATP remains the same, about 0.22 mM, both in the absence of activators and in the presence of NaHCO3, LDAO or NaHCO3 plus LDAO. Ca2+-dependent ATPase activity is slightly stimulated by NaHCO3 but strongly inhibited by octyl glucoside.

The hydrophobic compound diethylstilbestrol inhibits the generation of the proton gradient and the membrane potential in chromatophores from Rhodospirillum rubum and dissipates proton gradients over asolectin vesicle membranes. The Ca2+-ATPase activity of chromatophores, of purified F0F1-ATPase and of purified F1-ATPase is also decreased in the presence of diethylstilbestrol. Other repressed activities are the pyrophosphatase activity of soluble pyrophosphatase from yeast and the NADH oxidation by L-lactate:NAD oxidoreductase. We have previously reported that also ATP synthesis, PPi synthesis and PPi hydrolysis of R. rubrum chromatophores are inhibited by diethylstilbestrol [Strid et al. (1987) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 892, 236-244]. Addition of bovine serum albumin reverses or prevents diethylstilbestrol-induced inhibition of the activities tested. On the other hand, the Mg2+-ATPase activity of chromatophores, purified F0F1-ATPase and purified F1-ATPase are stimulated by low concentrations of diethylstilbestrol. On the basis of its hydrophobicity and the reversal of its inhibition by bovine serum albumin, diethylstilbestrol is proposed to act unspecifically on membranes and at hydrophobic domains of proteins. Such an attack upon the subunits of the F1-ATPase, altering the subunit interactions, is proposed to explain the different results obtained for the Ca2+-ATPase and the Mg2+-ATPase.

Chicken gizzard caldesmon causes up to 40% inhibition of Mg2+-ATPase activity of rabbit skeletal muscle actomyosin. In the presence of chicken gizzard tropomyosin this inhibition is significantly increased, reaching a maximum (around 80%) at a molar ratio of caldesmon to actin monomer of 1 to 10-13. The inhibition of actomyosin ATPase takes place over a wide pH range (from 6.0 to 8.0) but is decreased with an increase in KCl and MgCl2 concentrations. Caldesmon, in the range of caldesmon/ actin ratios within which it inhibits actomyosin ATPase, forms bundles of parallelly aligned actin filaments. Calmodulin in the presence of Ca2+ dissociates these bundles and restrains the inhibition of actomyosin ATPase, provided that it is used at a high molar excess over caldesmon.

Myometrial plasma membrane (MPM) preparations from rats treated with oestradiol were obtained by discontinuous sucrose-gradient centrifugation. The preparations contained calcium-stimulated and magnesium-dependent ATPase (Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase). A dramatic decrease in the activity of Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase was observed when preparations were treated with 0.025-10 mumol prostaglandins E2 and F2 alpha (PGE2 and PGF2 alpha)/l. In contrast, there was a marked increase in MPM-bound 5'-nucleotidase activity at low concentrations (up to 2 mumol/l) of PGE2 and PGF2 alpha; higher concentrations (up to 10 mumol/l), however, led to a progressive inhibition of enzyme activity. Association (specific and non-specific binding) of PGE2 and PGF2 alpha with MPM at pH 7 was found to require Ca2+ (half-maximal concentration approximately 0.7 mmol/l). Changes in the allosteric properties of MPM-bound 5'-nucleotidase by concanavalin A (as reflected by changes in the Hill coefficient) indicated a fluidization of the membrane induced by PGE2 and PGF2 alpha. The steady-state fluorescence anisotropy of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene-labelled MPM decreased in PGE2- and PGF2 alpha-treated MPM from 1.24 +/- 0.04 (S.D.) to 0.66 +/- 0.01 and 0.74 +/- 0.01 respectively, which is consistent with a general increase in membrane fluidity. It is suggested that PGE2 and PGF2 alpha promote changes in the physical properties of MPM which may be relevant to the induction of uterine contractions by enzymatic regulation of intracellular calcium concentrations.

The effects of various divalent cations on the Ca2+ uptake by microsomes from bovine aortic smooth muscle were studied. High concentrations (1 mM) of Co2+, Zn2+, Mn2+, Fe2+, and Ni2+ inhibited neither the Ca2+ uptake by the microsomes nor the formation of the phosphorylated intermediate (E approximately P) of the Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase of the microsomes. The cadmium ion, however, inhibited both the Ca2+ uptake and the E approximately P formation by the microsomes. Dixon plot analysis indicated Cd2+ inhibited (Ki = 135 microM) the Ca2+ dependent E approximately P formation in a non-competitive manner. The inhibitory effect of Cd2+ was lessened by cysteine or dithiothreitol. The strontium ion inhibited the Ca2+ uptake competitively, while the E approximately P formation increased on the addition of Sr2+ at low Ca2+ concentrations. At a low Ca2+ concentration (1 microM), Sr2+ was taken up by the aortic microsomes in the presence of 1 mM ATP. It is thus suggested that Sr2+ replaces Ca2+ at the Ca2+ binding site on the ATPase.

We studied the effects of caldesmon, a major actin- and calmodulin-binding protein found in a variety of muscle and non-muscle tissues, on the various ATPase activities of skeletal-muscle myosin. Caldesmon inhibited the actin-activated myosin Mg2+-ATPase, and this inhibition was enhanced by tropomyosin. In the presence of the troponin complex and tropomyosin, caldesmon inhibited the Ca2+-dependent actomyosin Mg2+-ATPase; this inhibition could be partly overcome by Ca2+/calmodulin. Caldesmon, phosphorylated to the extent of approximately 4 mol of Pi/mol of caldesmon, inhibited the actin-activated myosin Mg2+-ATPase to the same extent as did non-phosphorylated caldesmon. Both inhibitions could be overcome by Ca2+/calmodulin. Caldesmon also inhibited the Mg2+-ATPase activity of skeletal-muscle myosin in the absence of actin; this inhibition also could be overcome by Ca2+/calmodulin. Caldesmon inhibited the Ca2+-ATPase activity of skeletal-muscle myosin in the presence or absence of actin, at both low (0.1 M-KCl) and high (0.3 M-KCl) ionic strength. Finally, caldesmon inhibited the skeletal-muscle myosin K+/EDTA-ATPase at 0.1 M-KCl, but not at 0.3 M-KCl. Addition of actin resulted in no inhibition of this ATPase by caldesmon at either 0.1 M- or 0.3 M-KCl. These observations suggest that caldesmon may function in the regulation of actin-myosin interactions in striated muscle and thereby modulate the contractile state of the muscle. The demonstration that caldesmon inhibits a variety of myosin ATPase activities in the absence of actin indicates a direct effect of caldesmon on myosin. The inhibition of the actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity of myosin (the physiological activity) may not be due therefore simply to the binding of caldesmon to the actin filament causing blockage of myosin-cross-bridge-actin interaction.
