A myosin B-like protein was extracted from the alga Nitella flexilis. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed the presence of myosin heavy chain and actin as the main components. At high ionic strength, its ATPase [EC 3.6.1.3] reaction was activated by EDTA or Ca2+ and inhibited by Mg2+. At low ionic strength, superprecipitation was induced by the addition of ATP. Myosin was purified from Nitella myosin B. The molecular weight of the heavy chain of Nitella myosin, estimated by SDS-gel electrophoresis, was slightly higher than that of skeletal muscle myosin. At low ionic strength, Nitella myosin aggregated to form bipolar filaments about 0.2 micron long. At high ionic strength, its ATPase reaction was activated by EDTA or Ca2+, and inhibited by Mg2+. The Mg2+-ATPase reaction of Nitella myosin was activated by skeletal muscle F-actin.

We have purified a cofactor protein previously shown (Pollard, T. D., and Korn, E. D. (1973) J. Biol. Chem. 248, 4691-4697) to be required for actin activation of the Mg2+-ATPase activity of Acanthamoeba myosin I. The purified cofactor protein is a novel myosin kinase that phosphorylates the single heavy chain, but neither of the two light chains, of Acanthamoeba myosin I. Phosphorylation of Acanthamoeba myosin I by the purified cofactor protein requires ATP and Mg2+ but is Ca2+-independent. The Mg2+-ATPase activity of phosphorylated Acanthamoeba myosin I is highly activated by F-actin in the absence of cofactor protein. Actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activity is lost when phosphorylated Acanthamoeba myosin I is dephosphorylated by platelet phosphatase. Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation have no effect on the (K+,EDTA)-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase activities of Acanthamoeba myosin I. These results show that cofactor protein is an Acanthamoeba myosin I heavy chain kinase and that phosphorylation of the heavy chain of this myosin is required for actin activation of its Mg2+-ATPase activity.

The 20K dalton fragment of Ca2+ + Mg2+-ATPase obtained from th tryptically digested sarcoplasmic reticulum has been further purified using Bio-Gel P-100. This removed low-molecular-weight UV-absorbing and positive Lowry-reacting contaminants. The ionophoric activity of the 20K fragment in both oxidized cholesterol and phosphatidylcholine:cholesterol membranes is unaltered by this further purification. The 20K selectivity sequence in phosphatidylcholine:cholesterol membrane is Ba2+ greater than Ca2+ greater than Sr2+ greater than Mn2+ Mg2+. Digestion of intact sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles with trypsin, which results in the dissection of the hydrolytic site (30K) from the ionophoric site (20K), is shown to disrupt energy transduction between ATP hydrolysis and calcium transport. This further implicates the 20K dalton fragment as a calcium transport site. These data and previous evidence are discussed in terms of a proposed model for the ATPase molecular structure and the mechanisms of cation transport in sarcoplasmic reticulum.

1. Tropomyosin, one of the regulatory proteins in muscle contraction, was prepared from chickens, rabbits, frogs, shrimps, and shellfish, and conserved characteristics were studied using an enzymological technique. 2. All tropomyosins tested, irrespective of their sources, were found to have the ability to mediate the inhibitory activity of rabbit troponin toward rabbit Mg2+-activated actomyosin ATPase (Mg2+-ATPase) activity in the absence of Ca2+ ions. 3. The effect of tropomyosin on the Mg2+-ATPase activity in the presence of Ca2+ ions varied, depending on the source, and this variation appeared to reflect the evolutionary course of this protein. 4. Tropomyosin from shellfish adductor muscle had the ability to bind to rabbit skeletal muscle troponin and actin. This ability is also considered to be a basic characteristic of tropomyosin which has been conserved during evolution.

Effects of commonly used purification procedures on the yield and specific activity of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase (Mg2+-dependent, Na+ + K+-activated ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3), the turnover number of the enzyme, and the kinetic parameters for the ATP-dependent ouabain-enzyme interaction were compared in canine brain, heart and kidney. Kinetic parameters were estimated using a graphical analysis of non-steady state kinetics. The protein recovery and the degree of increase in specific activity of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and the ratio between (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase activities during the successive treatments with deoxycholate, sodium iodide and glycerol were dependent on the source of the enzyme. A method which yields highly active (Na+ + K+)-ATPase preparations from the cardiac tissue was not suitable for obtaining highly active enzyme preparations from other tissues. Apparent turnover numbers of the brain (Na+ + K+)-ATPase preparations were not significantly affected by the sodium iodide treatment, but markedly decreased by deoxycholate or glycerol treatments. Similar glycerol treatment, however, failed to affect the apparent turnover number of cardiac enzymes preparations. Cerebral and cardiac enzyme preparations obtained by deoxycholate, sodium iodide and glycerol treatments had lower affinity for ouabain than renal enzyme preparations, primarily due to higher dissociation rate constants for the ouabain.enzyme complex. This tissue-dependent difference in ouabain sensitivity seems to be an artifact of the purification procedure, since less purified cerebral or cardiac preparations had lower dissociation rate constants. Changes in apparent association rate constants were minimal during the purfication procedure. These results indicate that the presentyl used purification procedures may alter the properties of membrane (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and affect the interaction between cardiac glycosides and the enzyme. The effect of a given treatment depends on the source of the enzyme. For the in vitro studies involving purified (Na+ + K+)-ATPase preparations, the influence of the methods used to obtain the enzyme preparation should be carefully evaluated.

The activities of Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase and Na+, K+-ATPase and the permeability of reconstituted human erythrocytes for Na and K ions were measured, using Ca2+-EGTA, Ca2+ATP and Ca2+-sodium citrate buffers. It was found that the increase in the Ca2+/chelate ratio caused stimulation of Ca2+, Mg2+- and Na+, K+-Atpases and an increase in the rate constants of ouabain--dependent 42K+ influx and 22Na+ efflux from the erythrocytes. The use of the Ca2+-sodium citrate system as a calcium buffer did not change the parameters of the functional state of erythrocyte membranes. The data obtained are discussed in terms of a possible role of calcium ions, which are bound to the inner surface of the erythrocyte membrane, in the regulation of the systems of active and passive transport of cations.

The influence of sulfhydryl reagents on ATPase systems of rabbit sceletal muscles nuclei was studied. It is found that p-ChMB at low concentration similarly inhibits both Mg2+- and Mg2+, Ca2+-ATPases. p-ChMB at higher concentrations inhibits completely Mg2+, Ca2+-ATPase, while Mg2+- ATPase--only by 60%. N-EM is lesser specific inhibitor of SH-groups, than p-ChMB. The degree of nuclear ATPases inhibition by N-EM is practically identical. Using inhibitory analysis, two hypes of skeletal muscles nuclei SH-groups are found: easily reacting with N-EM, and those reacting with N-EM at more high concentrations, which are essential for ATPase ATP-hydrolysing activity. ATP defends Mg2+, Ca2+-ATPase, but not the Mg2+-ATPase from N-EM inhibitory action. Cysteine completely eliminates the inhibitory effect of p-ChMB on Mg2+-ATPase but only 40% on MG2+, Ca2+-ATPase. Mg2+, Ca2+-ATPase of nuclei is more sensitive to the sulfhydryl venoms action than Mg2+-ATPase.

Myosin has been isolated from baby hamster kidney cells (BHK21/C13) in high yield and characterized biochemically and immunologically. The subunit composition consists of 2 heavy chains, approximately 200,000 Daltons each, and 2 classes of light chains of approximately 16,000 and 20,000 Daltons. The myosin exhibits ATPase activity in the presence of K+-EDTA or Ca2+ but very little activity with Mg2+-ATP. The Mg2+-ATPase activity is stimulated only about 2-fold by skeletal actin, but a much larger activation is obtained in the presence of a protein kinase isolated from chicken gizzard. The increase in actin activation is accompained by the phosphorylation of the 20,000-Dalton light chain. BHK21 myosin is insoluble at low ionic strength and forms typical biopolar thick filaments. A specific antiserum generated against this protein forms a single precipitin line with the antigen but does not crossreact with either skeletal or smooth muscle myosin. The antiserum also specifically stains stress fibres in BHK21 cells as shown by indirect immunofluorescence.

A potent inhibitor of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity was purified from Sigma equine muscle ATP by cation- and anion-exchange chromatography. The isolated inhibitor was identified by atomic absorption spectroscopy and proton resonance spectroscopy to be an inorganic vanadate. The isolated vanadate and a solution of V2O5 inhibit sarcolemma (Na+ + K+)-ATPase with an I50 of 1 micrometer in the presence of 1 mM ethyleneglycol-bis-(beta-aminoethylether)-N,N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA), 145 mM NaCl, 6mM MgCl2, 15 mM KCl and 2 mM synthetic ATP. The potency of the isolated vanadate is increased by free Mg2+. The inhibition is half maximally reversed by 250 micrometer epinephrine. Equine muscle ATP was also found to contain a second (Na+ + K+)-ATPase inhibitor which depends on the sulfhydryl-reducing agent dithioerythritol for inhibition. This unknown inhibitor does not depend on free Mg2+ and is half maximally reversed by 2 micrometer epinephrine. Prolonged storage or freeze-thawing of enzyme preparations decreases the susceptibility of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase to this inhibitor. The adrenergic blocking agents, propranolol and phentolamine, do not block the catecholamine reactivation. The inhibitors in equine muscle ATP also inhibit highly purified (Na+ + K+)-ATPase from shark rectal gland and eel electroplax. The inhibitors in equine muscle ATP have no effect on the other sarcolemmal ATPases, Mg2+-ATPase, Ca2+-ATPase and (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase.

The dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-sensitive ATPase from spinach chloroplast has been isolated. On sodium dodecyl sulfate gels, seven different polypeptides were seen. Five of these polypeptides coincided with the CF1 subunits, a 7,500-dalton peptide was identified as the proteolipid which interacts with [14C]dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, and there was a 15,500-dalton hydrophobic polypeptide with unknown function. In two-dimentional gels, two additional peptides were resolved, one 17,500 daltons (co-migrating in sodium dodecyl sulfate gels with subunit delta) and one 13,500 daltons (co-migrating with subunit epsilon). Reconstitution was obtained by freezing and thawing the complex with a crude mixture of phospholipids. After reconstitution the complex catalyzed 32P1-ATP exchange (rates of 200 to 400 nmoles x mg-1 x min-1) and ATP formation during acid-to-base transition. These reactions were inhibited by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and uncouplers. Uncouplers at low concentrations stimulated and at high concentrations inhibited the Mg2+-ATPase activity. ATP hydrolysis and 32P1-ATP exchange were catalyzed by the complex in the presence of either Mg2+ or Mn2+ but not with Ca2+ or Co2+. ATP and GTP were substrates for the exchange reaction but not ADP or CTP.
