Membrane vesicles of Escherichia coli prepared by osmotic lysis of lysozyme ethylenediaminetetracetate (EDTA) spheroplasts have approximately 60% of the total membrane-bound reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) dehydrogenase (ED 1.6.99.3) and Mg2+-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) (EC 3.6.1.3) activities exposed on the outer surface of the inner membrane. Absorption of these vesicles with antiserum prepared against the purified soluble Mg2+-ATPase resulted in agglutination of approximately 95% of the inner membrane vesicles, as determined by dehydrogenase activity, and about 50% of the total membrane protein. The unagglutinated vesicles lacked all dehydrogenase activity and may consist of outer membrane. Lysozyme-EDTA vesicles actively transported calcium ion, using either NADH or adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) as energy source. However, neither D-lactate nor reduced phenazine methosulfate energized calcium uptake, suggesting that the observed calcium uptake was not due to a small population of everted vesicles. Transport of calcium driven by either NADH or ATP was inhibited by simultaneous addition of D-lactate or reduced phenazine methosulfate. Proline transport driven by D-lactate oxidation was inhibited by either NADH oxidation or ATP hydrolysis. These results suggest that the portion of the total population of vesicles capable of active transport, i.e., the inner membrane vesicles, are functionally a homogeneous population but cannot be categorized as either right-side-out or everted, since activities normally associated with only one side of the inner membrane can be found on both sides of the membrane of these vesicles. Moreover, the data indicate that oxidation of NADH or hydrolysis of ATP by externally localized NADH dehydrogenase or Mg2+-ATPase establishes a protonmotive force of the opposite polarity from that established through D-lactate oxidation.

Radiation inactivation technique was employed to measure the functional size of adenosine triphosphatase of spinach chloroplasts. The functional size for acid-base-induced ATP synthesis was 450 +/- 24 kilodaltons; for phenazine methosulfate-mediated ATP synthesis, 613 +/- 33 kilodaltons; and for methanol-activated ATP hydrolysis, 280 +/- 14 kilodaltons. The difference (170 +/- 57 kilodaltons) between 450 +/- 24 and 280 +/- 14 kilodaltons is explained to be the molecular mass of proton channel (coupling factor 0) across the thylakoid membrane. Our data suggest that the stoichiometry of subunits I, II, and III of coupling factor 0 is 1:2:15. Ca2+- and Mg2+-ATPase activated by methanol, heat, and trypsin digestion have a similar functional size. However, anions such as SO3(2-) and CO3(2-) increased the molecular mass for both ATPase's (except trypsin-activated Mg2+-ATPase) by 12-30%. Soluble coupling factor 1 has a larger target size than that of membrane-bound. This is interpreted as the cold effect during irradiation.

Active extrusion of drugs from the cell interior by primary and secondary efflux pumps is an essential mechanism underlying the phenomenon of multidrug resistance. The first discovered and best characterized primary efflux pump found in humans is the ABC transporter P-glycoprotein (PGP), which shows very broad substrate specificity. Many of these molecules are lipophilic, and binding most likely takes place within the membrane. PGP could either translocate them from the inner to the outer leaflet (flippase) or extrude them from the membrane into the extracellular environment (hydrophobic vacuum cleaner). Recognition and binding of such a diverse set of substrates must be associated with a preferred membrane location, determined by molecular properties and lipid interactions. Therefore, a systematic study of the interaction among seven PGP substrates (phenazine, doxorubicin, cephalexin, ampicillin, chloramphenicol, penicillin G, and quercetin) and two modulators (quinidine and nicardipine) and 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) model membranes is reported here. The location profile of these molecules across the membrane was determined by (1)H NOESY MAS NMR based on (1)H-(1)H cross-peaks between their aromatic fingerprint region and lipid resonances. Although structurally rather diverse, all tested substances are found to have their highest concentration between the phosphate of the lipid headgroup and the upper segments of the lipid hydrocarbon chains. Our findings are consistent with PGP substrate and modulator binding from the membrane interface region.
