A membrane fraction enriched in endoplasmic reticulum was prepared from rat parotid glands by using sucrose-gradient centrifugation. The fraction showed a 10-fold increase in specific activity of NADPH: cytochrome c reductase activity over that of tissue homogenates and minimal contamination with plasma membranes or mitochondria. The endoplasmic reticulum fraction possessed both Mg2+ -stimulated ATPase as well as Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase [( Ca2+ + Mg2+)-stimulated ATPase]activity. The Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase required 2-5 mM-Mg2+ for optimal activity and was stimulated by submicromolar concentrations of free Ca2+. The Km for free Ca2+ was 0.55 microM and the average Vmax. was 60 nmol/min per mg of protein. The Km for ATP was 0.11 mM. Other nucleotides, such as GTP, CTP or ADP, could not substitute for ATP in supporting the Ca2+-activated nucleotidase activity. Increasing the K+ concentration from 0 to 100 mM caused a 2-fold activation of the Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase. Trifluoperazine, W7 [N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloronaphthalene-1-sulphonamide] and vanadate inhibited the enzyme. The concentration of trifluoperazine and vanadate required for 50% inhibition of the ATPase were 52 microM and 28 microM respectively. Calmodulin, cyclic AMP, cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate had no effect on the ATPase. The properties of the Ca2+, Mg2+ -ATPase were distinct from those of the Mg2+-ATPase, but comparable with those reported for the parotid endoplasmic-reticulum Ca2+-transport system [Kanagasuntheram & Teo (1982) Biochem. J. 208, 789-794]. The results suggest that the Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase is responsible for driving the ATP-dependent Ca2+ accumulation by this membrane.

The effect of a lipophilic antibiotic, ionophore A23187, on the purified Ca2+-ATPase from sarcoplasmic reticulum was investigated. When the enzyme was pretreated with A23187 in the presence and absence of Ca2+, the Ca2+-dependent ATPase activity was inhibited almost completely, but the activity of the contaminating Mg2+-ATPase was unaffected. The steady state level of the phosphoenzyme (EP) from ATP or Pi was not substantially altered. When the pretreatment was performed in the presence of Ca2+, EP formation from ATP was only slightly retarded, but EP decomposition was strongly inhibited. Under these conditions, the accumulated EP was ADP-sensitive. EP formation from Pi after chelating of Ca2+ was quite slow, whereas EP once formed was in rapid equilibrium with Pi of the medium. On the other hand, when the pretreatment was performed in the absence of Ca2+, EP formation from ATP was extremely slow, but EP once formed was in rapid dynamic equilibrium with ATP of the medium. EP formation from Pi was very fast, and this EP was in rapid equilibrium with Pi of the medium. These results demonstrate that A23187 selectively inhibits isomerization of the enzyme between the high Ca2+-affinity form and the low Ca2+-affinity form in the catalytic cycle, whether or not the enzyme is phosphorylated. This suggests that interactions between the enzyme protein and the surrounding lipids could play a crucial role in this isomerization.

A high-affinity Mg2+-independent Ca2+-ATPase (Ca2+-ATPase) has been differentiated from the Mg2+-dependent, Ca2+-stimulated ATPase (Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase) in rat brain synaptosomal membranes. Using ATP as a substrate, the K0.5 of Ca2+ for Ca2+-ATPase was found to be 1.33 microM with a Km for ATP of 19 microM and a Vmax of 33 nmol/mg/min. Using Ca-ATP as a substrate, the Km for Ca-ATP was found to be 0.22 microM. Unlike Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase, Ca2+-ATPase was not inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide, trifluoperazine, lanthanum, zinc, or vanadate. La3+ and Zn2+, in contrast, stimulated the enzyme activity. Unlike Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase activity, ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake was negligible in the absence of added Mg2+, indicating that the Ca2+ transport into synaptosomal endoplasmic reticulum may not be a function of the Ca2+-ATPase described. Ca2+-ATPase activity was not stimulated by the monovalent cations Na+ or K+. Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase demonstrated a substrate preference for ATP and ADP, but not GTP, whereas Ca2+-ATPase hydrolyzed ATP and GTP, and to a lesser extent ADP. The results presented here suggest the high-affinity Mg2+-independent Ca2+-ATPase may be a separate form from Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase. The capacity of Mg2+-independent Ca2+-ATPase to hydrolyze GTP suggests this protein may be involved in GTP-dependent activities within the cell.

Regulation of oxidation of [1-14C]palmitate in rat brain mitochondria has been investigated in purified mitochondria of nonsynaptic origin prepared by use of a Ficoll/sucrose density gradient. The mitochondrial preparation contained considerable Mg2+-ATPase activity, but was virtually free of contamination with nonmitochondrial fractions. Palmitate oxidation was inhibited by increasing the concentration of ATP in the assay system to near-physiological levels (2 mM), and the inhibition at 2 or 4 mM ATP was analyzed by comparing it with palmitate oxidation at near-maximal rates with low levels of ATP (0.5 or 1 mM). Inhibition was increased by the addition of ADP or by increasing the concentration of Mg2+ in the assay system, whereas inhibition was decreased by decreasing the concentration of mitochondrial protein or L-carnitine in the assay system. Increasing CoA concentration also had a deinhibitory effect. With 0.5 or 1 mM ATP, however, neither inhibition by added ADP nor protein concentration-dependent inhibition was observed, and the rate of oxidation was saturated with increasing concentrations of Mg2+, L-carnitine, or CoA. These results indicated that ADP was involved in the inhibition of high rates of palmitate oxidation in the presence of sufficient ATP and L-carnitine. The inhibitory effect of increasing the concentration of mitochondrial protein could be explained by the enhanced amounts of ADP present in the preparation; similarly, increased concentrations of Mg2+ would provide higher levels of ADP by stimulating the Mg2+-ATPase reaction. We discuss the possibility that the transport of ADP across the inner membrane of brain mitochondria is coupled to the inhibition of palmitate oxidation.

Activation of aorta thiophosphorylated heavy meromyosin (HMM[SP]) Mg2+-ATPase activity by aorta actin and the fraction of HMM[SP]-substrate intermediate complexes bound to actin were measured simultaneously. At 25 degrees C the Km for ATPase activation and the dissociation constant for the binding reaction were similar, irrespective of the presence or absence of tropomyosin. Aorta caldesmon (0.1 mol/mol actin) inhibited ATPase activation by 80-90% but did not alter the binding of HMM[SP]-product intermediates to actin. It is concluded that caldesmon inhibits by slowing the rate-limiting release of products from the actin-HMM[SP].ADP.Pi complex.

Evidence is presented for the presence of both diethylstilbestrol (DES)-sensitive and DES-insensitive Mg2+-ATPase activities in plasma membrane enriched fractions of Dictyostelium discoideum. When removed from the membrane, the DES-sensitive activity is markedly less stable than the DES-insensitive activity, and the two activities display a number of quite distinct properties. The DES-sensitive enzyme has a decided preference for Mg2+ over Ca2+, displays saturation kinetics in response to ATP as substrate (Km = 0.2 mM) and has a narrow pH optimum range. In contrast, the DES-insensitive activity is stimulated equally by Mg2+ or Ca2+, is not saturable by ATP within the mM concentration range and has a much broader pH optimum. The DES-insensitive activity has been purified extensively. The purified enzyme is inhibited by vanadate and fluoride, but is insensitive to N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD), N-ethylmaleimide and thimerosal. In the absence of divalent cations, the enzyme displays a sigmoidal activity curve in response to substrate concentration, which is abolished by addition of either Mg2+ or Ca2+, suggesting a binding site for a divalent cation and a positive cooperative interaction. The enzyme is capable of hydrolyzing other nucleotide triphosphates and ADP, but is without activity on AMP, p-nitrophenyl phosphate and pyrophosphate. The enzyme has an apparent molecular weight of approximately 64,000.

Ouabain-sensitive (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity in the rat myometrial microsome fraction could only be determined following detergent treatment. The (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity manifested by detergent treatment proved very stable even to high concentrations of NaN3, in contrast Mg+-ATPase activity was reduced to about 30 percent of the control. The major part of the Mg2+-ATPase in the myometrial membrane preparation was found to be identical with the NaN3-sensitive ATP diphosphohydrolase capable of ATP and ADP hydrolysis. This monovalent-cation-insensitive ATP hydrolysis could be extensively reduced by DMSO. Furthermore DMSO prevented the inactivation of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity. 10-100 microM Ca2+ inhibited the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity obtained in the presence of SDS by 15-50 percent. The Ca2+ sensitivity of the enzyme was considerably decreased if the proteins solubilized by the detergent had been separated from the membrane fragments by ultracentrifugation. The inhibitory effect could be regained by combining the supernatant with the pellet. Ca2+ sensitivity of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity was preserved even after removal of the solubilized proteins provided that DMSO had been applied. It appears that a factor in the plasma membrane solubilized by SDS may be responsible for the loss of Ca2+ sensitivity of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity, the solubilization of which can be prevented by DMSO.

Intact synaptosomes isolated from the electric organ of the electric ray Torpedo marmorata contain, at their surface, enzyme activities for the hydrolysis of externally applied nucleoside phosphates. The diazonium salt of sulfanilic acid, as a low-molecular-weight, slowly permeating, covalent inhibitory agent, selectively blocks these enzyme activities and leaves intracellular lactate dehydrogenase intact. The ectoenzymes comprise both a nucleoside triphosphate and diphosphate phosphohydrolase, as well as a 5'-nucleotidase. Activity of nonspecific ectophosphatases is absent. The nucleoside triphosphatase hydrolyzes almost equally well ATP, GTP, CTP, UTP, and ITP and is activated to a similar degree by Mg2+ or Ca2+. It has a high affinity for ATP (Km for ATP in the presence of Mg2+, 75 microM; in the presence of Ca2+, 66 microM). Maximal rates in the presence of Mg2+ and Ca2+ were very similar (34.8 and 32.5 nmol of Pi/min/mg of synaptosomal protein, respectively). Either Mg-ATP or Ca-ATP can act as a true substrate. ADP inhibits hydrolysis of ATP, but AMP is without effect. The nucleoside triphosphatase is not inhibited significantly by a number of inhibitors of mitochondrial Mg2+-ATPase or of Ca2+ + Mg2+-ATPases. It is, however, considerably inhibited by filipin and quercitin. The capacity of intact synaptosomes to hydrolyze also extracellular ADP, GDP, AMP, GMP, and IMP suggests that the nucleoside triphosphatase is part of an enzyme chain that causes complete hydrolysis of the respective nucleoside triphosphate to the nucleoside. We conclude that the cholinergic nerve terminals of the Torpedo electric organ can hydrolyze ATP released on coexocytosis with acetylcholine via an ectonucleoside triphosphatase activity that is different from known endogenous nerve terminal ATPases. The final product of the hydrolysis, adenosine, can then be salvaged by the nerve terminal for resynthesis of ATP. Other possible physiological functions of the ectonucleotidases are discussed.

An efficient method is described permitting the encapsulation of membrane-impermeable compounds at the interior of intestinal microvilli during vesicle formation. Rat intestinal epithelial cells were isolated by high-frequency vibration and exposed transiently to iso-osmotic medium containing 5 mM-EDTA. Vesiculation of microvilli was effected by freeze-thawing instead of mechanical fragmentation or hypo-osmotic lysis. Solutes to be entrapped were mixed with the extracellular medium before freezing in liquid N2. Microvillous vesicles were isolated from thawed cell suspensions by Ca2+- or Mg2+-aggregation of contaminants and differential centrifugation. The yield, purity, orientation and transport properties of the vesicles were similar, or superior, to preparations described in the literature. A high loading efficiency was demonstrated for small impermeants (cyclic GMP, ATP, Arsenazo III) as well as proteins (albumin); in contrast, loading of isolated vesicles by hypo-osmotic shock was only partially effective (cyclic GMP, ATP) or ineffective (albumin). Entrapment of an ATP-regenerating system could partially block a Mg2+-dependent conversion of intravesicular ATP into ADP. No evidence was obtained for the contribution of a proton pump to the intrinsic Mg2+-ATPase of the vesicle. Potential applications of the vesicle-loading technique in studies of brush-border transport regulation by intramicrovillar factors are discussed.

The low-shear viscosity of 5-30 microM F-actin was greatly increased by the addition of 0.1-0.5 microM unphosphorylated Acanthamoeba myosins IA and IB. The increase in viscosity was about the same in 2 mM ADP as in the absence of free nucleotide but was much less in 2 mM ATP. The single-headed monomolecular Acanthamoeba myosins were as effective as an equal molar concentration of two-headed muscle heavy meromyosin and much more effective than single-headed muscle myosin subfragment-1. These results suggest that Acanthamoeba myosins IA and IB can cross-link actin filaments as proposed in the accompanying paper (Albanesi, J. P., Fujisaki, H., and Korn, E. D. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 11174-11179) to explain the actin-dependent cooperative increase in actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity as a function of the concentration of myosin I. Superprecipitation occurred when phosphorylated myosin IA or IB was mixed with F-actin. In addition to myosin I heavy chain phosphorylation, superprecipitation required Mg2+ and ATP. ATP hydrolysis was linear during the time course of the superprecipitation, and inhibitors of ATP hydrolysis inhibited superprecipitation. A small, dense contracted gel was formed when the reaction was carried out in a cuvette, and a birefringent actomyosin thread resulted from superprecipitation in a microcapillary. The rate and extent of superprecipitation depended on the actin and myosin I concentrations with maximum superprecipitation occurring at an actin:myosin ratio of 7:1. These results provide strong evidence for the ability of Acanthamoeba myosins IA and IB to perform contractile and motile functions.
