1. The function of mitochondria, sarcotubular membranes (heavy microsomes), sarcolemma and myofibrils from the hind-leg skeletal muscle of about 60- and 150-day-old normal and myopathic (UM-X7.1) hamsters was examined. 2. The mitochondrial calcium uptake as well as mitochondrial phosphorylation and respiratory rates were lower in 60-day-old myopathic skeletal muscle, unlike 150-day-old myopathic animals, when pyruvate-malate and glutamate-malate were used as substrates. However, mitochondria from 150-day-old myopathic animals showed depressed glutamate-dependent respiratory and phosphorylation rates and succinate-supported initial rate of calcium uptake. 3. The microsomal calcium-uptake, but not calcium-binding, and Ca2+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity of the 150-day-old myopathic skeletal muscle were lower than the control values. Although microsomal calcium-binding, calcium-uptake and ATPase activities of the 60-day-old myopathic muscle were not depressed significantly, the initial rate of calcium uptake was less than the control. 4. The sarcolemmal Ca2+-ATPase, but not Mg2+-ATPase or Na+ +K+-ATPase, activity was higher in 60-day-old myopathic muscle whereas the activities of all these enzymes from 150-day-old myopathic animals were higher than the control. On the other hand, the Na+ +K+-ATPase activities from 60- and 150-day-old myopathic animals were inhibited by ouabain to a lesser extent in comparison with the respective control values. 5. The myofibrillar Ca2+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase activities as well as inhibition of Mg2+-ATPase due to Na+ and K+ in myopathic muscle were no different from the control values. 6. The results reported here give further support to the view that different membrane systems of the dystrophic muscle are defective.

Myosin was isolated from leucocytes in horse arterial blood by the same procedures used for the isolation of myosin from skeletal muscle. The Ca2+-, EDTA-, and Mg2+-ATPase [EC 3.6.1.3] activities of the protein was 0.148, 0.147, and 0.001 mumoles/min/mg, respectively, in 0.5 M KCl at pH 7.0 and 25 degrees. The Ca2+-ATPase activity decreased with decrease in the ionic strength. No difference was found between leucocyte myosin and skeletal myosin in the pH profiles of Ca2+- and EDTA-ATPases. The rate and amount of the initial burst of Pi liberation of leucocyte myosin were 0.002 mumoles/min/mg and 0.83 moles/4.8 X 10(5)g, respectively. Leucocyte myosin aggregated into filaments of 0.3 mum length and 150 A diameter, which had a bare shaft and irregular projections. At high ionic strength, the protein bound to skeletal muscle F-actin to form a complex with the characteristic arrowhead structure.

Mg2+-dependent Ca2+-activated ATPase of microsoma fraction from the grey matter of cerebral great hemispheres determined after the preliminary treatment of the preparation with 0.1% digitonin, while preserved in the medium with 10 mM mercaptoethanol for seven days at a temperature of 4-6 degrees C is inactivated by 10-15% and approximately by 50% while preserved without mercaptoethanol. Mercaptoethanol does not make reactivating effect. SH-reagents at definite concentrations completely inhibit the activity of Mg2+, Ca2+-ATPase. Half-maximum inhibition of the enzyme is reached with the salirgan, p-CMB and NEM concentrations of 5-10(-6) M, 5-10(-6) M and 5-10(-3) M, respectively. Mg2+-ATPase is not suppressed completely, and at high concentrations of SH-reagents the residual activity is 1.3 muM of Pi per 1 mg of protein in 1 hr. ATP in the concentrations optimal for manifestation of Mg2+, Ca2+-ATPase (3 mM) efficiently protects the enzyme from the inactivating effect of NEM. This gives reasons to suppose that the active centre of Mg2+, Ca2+-ATPase contains an SH-group. The quantity of SH-groups readily accessible of the Ellman reactive in the initial preparation of the brain microsomes is 45 + 2.0 nM per 1 mg of protein and in the preparation dissolved in 2.5% sodium dodecyl sulphate, 110 + 7.8 nmM per 1 mg of protein. In the presence of 0.1% digitonin the quantity of SH-groups of the preparation is 55 + 3.5 nM per 1 mg of protein, simultaneously such treatment of detergent results in manifestation of Mg2+, Ca2+-ATPase activity. An inactivating effect of SH-reagents and the protective effect of ATP indicate similarity of the enzyme under study to Mg2+, Ca2+-ATPase of sarcoplasmatic reticulum.

Mg2+-dependent Ca2+-activated ATPase (Mg2+,Ca2+-atpase, EC 3.61.4) in the fraction of synaptosome plasmatic membranes is activated with 0.05-0.08% solutions of digitonin and sodium deoxycholate. At higher concentrations of digitonin the activating effect lowers, sodium deoxycholate in the increasing concentrations inactivates the enzyme. 0.08% digitonin activates Mg2+,Ca2+-ATPase of synaptosome membranes, without demanding for its transition into solubilized state. Separation of non-active 0.08% digitonin extract from the deposit results in a decrease in the enzymatic activity of the latter and addition of the extract to the deposit activates the enzyme. At least two components separable from each other are likely to be necessary for the enzyme activity manifestation. A solubilized preparation of Mg2+,Ca2+-ATPase with the maximum activity and the ratio of total ATPase to Mg2+-ATPase equal to 3.5-4.0 may be obtained by extraction with 0.15-0.20% digitonin solution. Maximum quantily of protein is extracted by means of digitonin in the same concentrations. The extracted protein is divided in 7.5% polyacrylamide gel into eight-ten electrophoretic zones.

The stimulation by calcium and magnesium of ATPase activity of isolated ghosts, of water-soluble protein (spectrin), and of residual vesicles, derived from normal erythrocytes and from hereditary spherocytes (H.S.), has been measured. The ATPase activity found in normal water-soluble protein (WSP) at low levels of calcium (0.1-2.0 mM) is essentially absent in H.S. water-soluble protein, but the ATPase activity with magnesium and with high levels of calcium (60-100 mM) is the same in H.S. and normal WSP. Compared to normal, H.S. ghosts have increased Mg2+-stimulated activity. This increased activity is retained by the sedimentable vesicles ("residue") after extraction of the ghosts with 0.025 mM EDTA. The Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase associated with the calcium pump is not significantly different in H.S.

The total ATPase activity of the rabbit skeletal muscle nuclei was established to be a sum of activities of two ATPases--Mg2+ and Mg2+, Ca2+-ATPases. The latter composes 50% of total ATPase activity for skeletal muscles nuclei of the normal rabbits and 30% for skeletal muscles nuclei of the rabbits with muscular dystrophy. Mg+, Ca2+-ATPase of the skeletal muscle nuclei is activated by calcium ions within a range of 10(-6)--10(-4) M and is inhibited with its concentration of 0.5-10(-3) M and higher. Sodium and potassium ions activate Mg2+, Ca2+-ATPase. Inhibition of Mg2+-ATPase is observed for the skeletal muscle nuclei of the rabbits in norm with the presence of 80 mM of Na+ and 70 mM of K+ in the incubation medium. Under experimental muscular dystrophy such an effect is not observed in connection with the fact that the concentration of monovalent cations in the incubation medium does not exceed 60 mM. The ATPase activity in nuclei of the rabbit skeletal muscles may be also manifested in the presence of Mn2+ greater than Ca2+ greater than Ba2+. A problem is under discussion as to substitution of ions Mg2+ by ions Mn2+, Ca2+, Ba2+ in manifestation of the Mg2+ATPase activity for the skeletal muscle nuclei of the normal rabbits and of those with experimental dystrophy.

Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), Ca2+ plus Mg2+-ATPase, and Ca2+-ionophore were obtained from white rabbit skeletal muscles. Methylmercury inhibited the Ca2+ plus Mg2+-ATPase and Ca2+-transport but had no effect on the Ca2+-ionophore. Mercuric chloride inhibited all three functions (i.e., ATPase, transport and ionophoric activity). The mechanism of HgCl2 inhibition of the Ca2+-ionophore was by competition with Ca2+ for Ca2+-ionophoric site whereas its inhibition of the enzyme and Ca2+-transport was due to the blockage of essential sulfhydryl (--SH) groups. Ca2+ plus Mg2+-ATPase and Ca2+-transport were more sensitive to methylmercury than to HgCl2. Acetylcholine receptor (AChR) was obtained for the electric organ of T. californica. Methylmercury inhibited the ACh binding to AChR WITH Ki = 5.7 - 10(-6) M. This effect was not due to mercuric ion alone since mercuric chloride up to 10(-4) M did not affect ACh binding to AChR. It is concluded that: the Ca2+ plus Mg2+-ATPase and Ca2+-transport contain --SH groups essential for their activity, and that the two functions are tightly coupled; the Ca2+-ionophore contains no --SH groups essential for its activity; CH3HgCl inhibition of Ca2+ plus Mg2+-ATPase and Ca2+-transport is partly due to its reactivity with --SH groups in hydrophobic environment; the Ca2+-transport is inhibited by HgCl2 through two processes, one which is the blockage of --SH groups and another which is the inhibition of the Ca2+-ionophoric site; and the inhibition of ACh binding to AChR is due to the blockage of --SH groups in hydrophobic environment, which is inaccessible to Hg2+. Our data present for the first time a molecular basis for the myopathy associated with mercurial compounds toxicity.

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 contractile protein closely resembling natural actomyosin (myosin B) of rabbit skeletal muscle was extracted from plasmodia of the slime mold, Physarum polycephalum, by protecting the SH-groups with beta-mercaptoethanol or dithiothreitol. Superprecipitation of the protein induced by Mg2+-ATP at low ionic strength was observed only in the presence of very low concentrations of free Ca2+ ions, and the Mg2+-ATPase [EC 3.6.1.3] reaction was activated 2- to 6-fold by 1 muM of free Ca2+ ions. Crude myosin and actin fractions were separated by centrifuging plasmodium myosin B in the presence of Mg2+-PPi at high ionic strength. The crude myosin showed both EDTA- and Ca2+-activated ATPase activities. The Mg2+-ATPase activity of crude myosin from plasmodia was markedly activated by the addition of pure F-actin from rabbit skeletal muscle. Addition of the F-action-regulatory protein complex prepared from rabbit skeletal muscle as well as the actin fraction of plasmodium caused the same degree of activation as the addition of pure F-actin only in the presence of very low concentrations of Ca2+ ion

Actin, myosin, and a high molecular weight actin-binding protein were purified from chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) leukocytes. CML leukocyte actin resembled skeletal muscle and other cytoplasmic actins by its subunit molecular weight, by its ability to polymerize in the presence of salts, and to activate the Mg2+-ATPase activity of rabbit skeletal muscle myosin. CML leukocyte myosin was similar to other vertebrate cytoplasmic myosins in having heavy chains and two light subunits. However, its apparent heavy-chain molecular weight and Stokes radius suggested that it was variably degraded during purification. Purified CML leukocyte myosin had average specific EDTA- AND Ca2+-activated ATPase activities of 125 and 151 nmol Pi released/mg protein per min, respectively and low specific Mg2+-ATPase activity. The Mg2+-ATPase activity of CML myosin was increased 200-fold by rabbit skeletal muscle F-actin, but the specific activity relative to that of actin-activated rabbit skeletal muscle myosin was low. CML leukocyte myosin, like other vertebrate cytoplasmic myosins, formed filaments in 0.1 M KCl solutions. Reduced and denatured CML leukocyte-actin-binding protein had a single high molecular weight subunit like a recently described actin-binding protein of rabbit pulmonary macrophages which promotes the polymerization and gelation of actin. Cytoplasmic extracts of CML leukocytes prepared with ice-cold 0.34-M sucrose solutions containing Mg2+-ATP, dithiothreitol, and EDTA at pH 7.0 underwent rapid gelation when warmed to 25 degrees C. Initially, the gel could be liquified by cooling to ice-bath temperature. With time, warmed cytoplasmic extract gels shrunk ("contracted") into aggregates. The following findings indicated that CML leukocyte actin-binding protein promoted the temperature-dependent gelation of actin in the cytoplasmic extracts and that CML leukocyte myosin was involved in the contraction of the actin gels: (a) Cytoplasmic extract gels initially contained actin as their major polypeptide component and consistent of tangled thin filaments; (b) Contracted aggregates of cytoplasmic extract gels contained by large quantities of myosin as well as actin; (c) Purified actin-binding protein underwent a temperature-dependent, reversible aggregation and caused low concentrations of purified muscle or CML leukocyte actins to gel in sucrose solutions; (d) The gels formed from purified actin plus purified actin-binding protein slowly contracted in the presence but not in the absence of purified CML leukocyte myosin; (e) Rabbit antiserum against purified CML leukocyte actin-binding protein but not against purified CML leukocyte myosin inhibited the gelation of warmed CML leukocyte extracts. Antiserum against CML leukocyte myosin had no effect on the gelation of CML leukocyte extracts but partially curtailed the contraction of the CML leukocyte extract gels and of gels formed from purified CML leukocyte actin-binding protein plus rabbit skeletal muscle actin.
