Different antiarrhythmic agents such as quinidine, procaine amide, and lodocaine at 1 mM concentrations were found to depress the ability of an isolated perfused rat heart to generate contractile force. Quinidine, but not procaine amide or lidocaine, decreased calcium uptake by both mitochondrial and microsomal fractions at different concentrations of calcium. The mitochondrial phosphorylation rate, respiratory control index, and state 3 oxygen consumption, but not ADP:O ratio and state 4 oxygen consumption, were depressed by only quinidine. None of these agents had any effect on myofibrillar Mg2+-ATPase or Ca2+-stimulated ATPase activities. On the other hand, sarcolemmal Mg2+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase activities, but not Na+-K+-ATPase activity, were increased by all these drugs. The sarcolemmal adenylate cyclase (EC 4.6.1.1) activity was decreased by quinidine only. These results suggest some similarities and differences in the sites of action of quinidine, procaine amide, and lidocaine within the myocardium.

A method was developed to isolate renal basolateral membranes from cortical kidney tubule cells of single rats. The isolated membrane fraction was characterized by the measurement of marker enzyme activities and by electron microscopy. 1. After centrifugation of crude plasma membranes on a discontinuous sucrose density gradient the basolateral membranes accumulated at a sucrose density of p= 1.14-1.15 g/ml. The yield was 147 mug membrane protein/g kidney wet weight. Protein recovery was 0.1%. 2. (Na+ + K+)-ATPase was enriched 22-fold from the homogenate. The recovery was 2.6%. The (Na+ + K+)/Mg2+-ATPase ratio was 4.1. 3. The contamination by brush borders was small. Alkaline phosphatase was 1.6-fold enriched and 0.2% was recovered. Aminopeptidase was 1-fold enriched with a recovery of 0.1%. The contamination by mitochondria, lysosomes and endoplasmic reticulum was negligible. 4. In electron micrographs the basolateral membranes showed a typical triple layered profile and were characterized by the presence of junctional complexes, gap junctions or tight junctions.

1. The activities of some membrane-bound enzymes such as adenylate cyclase, Na+ + K+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase (Na+ + K+-ATPase), Ca2+-stimulated ATPase and Mg2+-stimulated ATPase were examined in heart sarcolemmal fractions from control and cardiomyopathic hamsters at different stages of heart failure. 2. The basal adenylate cyclase activity in sarcolemma from cardiomyopathic animals with early, moderate and late stages of heart failure was not different from the control values whereas the sodium fluoride- and catecholamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase activities were depressed in cardiomyopathic sarcolemma at moderate and late stages. 3. The sarcolemmal Na+ + K+-ATPase activity was decreased and the non-specific phosphatase activity was increased at early, moderate and late stages of heart failure. 4. The sarcolemmal Ca2+-ATPase activity was decreased at moderate and late stages whereas the Mg2+-ATPase activity was decreased at the late stages of heart failure only. 5. A marked decrease was found in calcium binding by heart sarcolemma from cardiomyopathic hamsters at late stages of failure. 6. These results suggest that dramatic sarcolemmal changes are associated with heart failure, and support the view that membrane abnormalities play a crucial role in the development of myocardial dysfunction, cyclase, calcium binding, heart failure, heart membranes, sarcolemmal enzymes.

The Wachstein-Meisel ATPase histochemical method has been previously used to demonstrate the ultrastructural localization of this enzyme in both whole liver and isolated plasma membranes following fixation in glutaraldehyde. In the present study biochemical assay, of liver plasma membrane enzymes following fixation in cold 2.5% glutaraldehyde showed that approximately 40% of Mg2+-ATPase, but only 4% of (Na+-K+)-ATPase activity remained in membranes from either control or ANIT-treated rats. In addition, 5'-nucleotidase activity was almost abolished by fixation. The present results indicate that the Wachstein-Meisel method, when applied to biliary canaliculi, can reliably be used to demonstrate the ultrastructural, histochemical localization of Mg2+-ATPase but not that of (NA+-K+)-ATPase. Furthermore, the method permits a valid comparison to be made of the relative Mg2+-ATPase activity in normal and chemically damaged biliary canaliculi.

The total Mg2+-ATPase and Na+, K+-ATPase activity was studied in the fractions of "400 g X for 20 min" and "900 g X for 30 min" conditionally called the fraction of the external cellular membranes and total fraction of mitochondria. The subcellular fractions were isolated from great hemispheres and stem part of the rat brain. The brain of control animals and those during a severe spasmodic attact induced by the oxygen action at a pressure of 6 ati was studied. The total ATPase activity is established to be practically the same in the studied brain areas and unchanged with hyperoxia. Hyperoxia accompanying by convulsions results in an increase in the activity of Mg2+-ATPase and in a decrease in that of Na+, K+-ATPase both in the cerebral cortex and the stem part. The authors suppose that the decrease in the enzyme activity may occur due to an inhibitory effect on it of the lipids reoxidation products formed in the brain with hyperoxia.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis catalyzed by the plasma membrane (Na+,K+)ATPase isolated from several sources was inhibited by Mg+, provided that K+ and ATP were also present. Phosphorylation of the adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) by ATP and by inorganic phosphate was also inhibited, as was p-nitrophenyl phosphatase activity. (Ethylenedinitrilo)tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and catecholamines protected from and reversed the inhibition of ATP hydrolysis by Mg2+, K+ and ATP. EDTA was protected by chelation of Mg2+ but catecholamines acted by some other mechanism. The specificities of various nucleotides as inhibitors (in conjunction with Mg2+ and K+) and as substrates for the (Na+, K+) ATPase were strikingly different. ATP, ADP, beta,gamma-CH2-ATP and alpha,beta-CH2-ADP were active as inhibitors, whereas inosine, cytidine, uridine, and guanosine triphosphates (ITP, CTP, UTP, and GTP) and adenosine monophosphate (AMP) were not. On the other hand, ATP and CTP were substrates and beta,gamma-NH-ATP was a competitive inhibitor of ATP hydrolysis, but not an inhibitor in conjunction with Mg2+ and K+. The Ca2+-ATPase from sarcoplasmic reticulum and F1, the Mg2+-ATPase from the inner mitochondrial membrane, were also inhibited by Mg2+. Catecholamines reversed inhibition of the Ca2+-ATPase, but not that of F1.

A highly purified preparation of myosin from Physarum polycephalum has been shown by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to contain heavy chains and only one molecular weight class of light chains, of approx. 15 000 daltons. Kinetic investigations of the Ca2+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolases, EC 3.6.1.3) at pH 8.0 gave Km and V values of 17.3 muM and 1.25 mumol Pi/min per mg, and 2.4 muM and 0.12 mumol Pi/min per mg, respectively. Adenylyl imidodiphosphate, a beta-gamma-imido ATP analog, inhibited the ATPase activity of Physarum myosin competitively with Ki values equal to 350 and 12 muM in the presence of Ca2+ and Mg2+, respectively. The ATPase activity of Physarum myosin was inhibited at a very low rate (t1/2 = 24 h) by the ATP analog, 6,6'-dithiobis(inosinyl imidodiphosphate), with concentrations of inhibitor previously shown to inactivate (t1/2 approximately 10 min) skeletal and cardiac myosins rapidly by reacting with key cysteines.

To determine whether choleretic infusions of bile acids modified the function or structure of the membrane of the bile canaliculus, sodium taurocholate (NaTc) or dehydrocholate (DHC) was infused into male rats at a rate of 80 mumoles per hour over an 18-hour period. Bile was collected by fistula and phospholipid and cholesterol content was measured in bile, liver homogenates, and isolated liver plasma membranes (LPM) enriched in bile canaliculi. Na+, K+-ATPase, Mg2+-ATPase, 5'-nucleotidase, and alkaline phosphatase activities were also measured in LPM. NaTc infusions enhanced cholesterol and phospholipid output in the bile in association with a significant increase in phospholipid in both LPM and liver homogenate. Although DHC infusions resulted in a comparable excretion of bile acid, phospholipid and cholesterol output in bile did not increase from control values and the concentration of these lipids in LPM and liver homogenate also did not change. However, LPM Na+, K+-ATPase significantly increased after DHC infusions compared to NaTc-infused animals or controls. Neither bile acid altered the activities of Mg2+-ATPase, 5'-nucleotidase, or alkaline phosphatase. Both bile acids increased the diameter of the lumen of the bile canaliculus as assessed by scanning electron microscopy and produced irregularities and outpouchings in the canalicular membrane. Diverticuli and loss of microvilli were most prominent with DHC infusions whereas canalicular side branching and the density of microvilli, either remained unchanged or increased following NaTc infusions. Although the morphologic findings are qualitative, the results of these studies indicate that chronic choleretic infusions of NaTc and DHC have divergent effects, not only on enzyme activities in liver plasma membrane, but on phospholipid composition and 3-dimensional structure. These findings suggest that bile acids may after biliary secretion not only through their osmotic effects, but by modifying lipids and enzymes in the membrane of the bile canaliculus.

Calcium regulation of actomyosin activity in the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, has been studied with purified proteins and crude thin filaments. Actin and tropomyosin have been purified from C. elegans and shown to be similar in most respects to actin and tropomyosin from rabbit skeletal muscle. The actin comigrates with rabbit actin on polyacrylamide-sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis, forms similar filaments and paracrystals, and activates the Mg2+-ATPase of rabbit myosin heads as efficiently as rabbit actin. Nematode tropomyosin has a greater apparent molecular weight (estimated by mobility on polyacrylamide-sodium dodecyl sulfate gels) than the rabbit protein, yet it forms Mg2+-paracrystals with a slightly shorter periodicity. Native thin filaments extracted from nematodes activate rabbit myosin subfragment 1 Mg2+-ATPase in a calcium sensitive manner; the extent of activation is threefold greater in 0.2 mM CaCl2 than in the absence of calcium. This observation suggests that the thin filaments contain components which are functionally equivalent to vertebrate troponins. Calcium is also required for maximal activation of the Mg2+-ATPase of purified nematode myosin by pure rabbit F-actin. C. elegans therefore has both myosin and thin filament-linked calcium regulatory systems. The origin of the actin, tropomyosin, and myosin from different tissues and the use of genetic analysis to answer questions about assembly and function in vivo are discussed.

The effect of the hallucinogenic drug harmaline was tested on rat kidney proximal tubular solute and water transport, using in vivo micropuncture and electrophysiological techniques as well as in vitro biochemical techniques. During peritubular application harmaline (5 mmol/l) was found to block net tubular volume absorption reversibly (by 85%) through inhibition of active Na+ transport and possibly active HCO-3 transport. The inhibition was accompanied by a rapid strong depolarization of the tubular cell membranes. As a biochemical equivalent harmaline inhibited the Na+-K+-ATPase and the Mg2+-ATPase of peritubular cell membrane fractions as well as the HCO-3-stimulated ATPase of a brush border membrane fraction with similar kinetics. By studying glucose tracer efflux and by measuring cell membrane potential and conductance changes in response to glucose perfusions, no evidence for a direct effect of harmaline on Na+-glucose (or amino acid) cotransport mechanisms in the brush border could be obtained. The data suggest that harmaline does not specifically compete with Na+ for transport sites. Neither are the cotransport systems in the brush border membrane specifically inhibited, nor could the inhibition of the Na+ pump in the peritubular cell membrane simply result from a competition between harmaline and Na+.
