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.

The distribution and properties of cytochemically demonstrable phosphatases in the near-term guinea-pig placenta were examined using a strontium capture technique for sodium- and potassium-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (Na+, K+-ATPase) and a lead capture technique for magnesium-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (Mg2+-ATPase). Localizations with the strontium technique in the presence of an alkaline phosphatase inhibitor were mainly on the syncytiotrophoblast plasma membranes; the reaction was potassium-dependent and ouabain-sensitive. Reaction product using the lead capture method was found on both trophoblast and endothelial cell plasma membranes and was independent of magnesium and insensitive to p-hydroxymercuribenzoate (POHMB), an inhibitor of membrane ATPases. However, a very large proportion of this reaction could be blocked by an alkaline phosphatase inhibitor. It is concluded that the strontium capture technique gave a reliable localization for Na+, K+-ATPase. However, the lead capture method mainly demonstrated alkaline phosphatase, and does not offer a useful approach to specific ATPase studies in this particular system.

Sodium- and potassium-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (Na+--K+-ATPase) has been demonstrated in the branchial heart appendage (pericardial gland) of Sepia officinalis L. by biochemical, cytochemical and autoradiographical methods. The biochemical data indicate the presence of Na+--K+-ATPase, judging from the potassium dependency and, with some restrictions, the inhibition by ouabain. Cytochemically and autoradiographically, the enzyme could be localized on the cytoplasmic surfaces of the lateral plasma membranes and the basal membrane infoldings (basal labyrinth) of the folded epithelium of the branchial heart appendage. The pdocytes of the peripheral zone of the organ reacted negatively. In addition to the Na+--K+-ATPase, a magnesium-activated adenosine triphosphatase (Mg2+-ATPase) was demonstrated in the folded epithelium, localized mainly in the mitochondria but also at the brush border and in the apical intercellular space, whereas a bicarbonate-stimulated ATPase (HCO-3-ATPase) was present only in the mitochondria.

The effect of regucalcin, a calcium-binding protein isolated from rat liver cytosol, on Ca2+-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity in hepatic microsomes was investigated. Mg2+-ATPase activity was clearly increased by the presence of 50 microM Ca2+. Regucalcin (1.0-4.0 microM) caused a remarkable elevation (about 3-fold) of Ca2+-ATPase activity. Also, Mg2+-ATPase activity was increased (about 1.6-fold) by the presence of regucalcin (2.0 and 4.0 microM). Guanosine-5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTPrs; 10(-5) and 10(-4) M) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidized form (NADP+; 10(-5) to 10(-3) M) or reduced form (NADPH; 10(-4) and 10(-3) M) significantly increased Ca2+-ATPase activity. These increases were not enhanced by the presence of regucalcin (2.0 microM). Of various metal ions, a comparatively low concentration of V5+ (10(-5) M) or Cd2+ (10(-6) M) significantly increased Ca2+-ATPase activity, while Hg2+, Zn2+, Cu2+ and Mn2+ did not have such an effect. Regucalcin (2.0 microM) did not enhance the effect of V5+ and Cd2+ on Ca2+-ATPase activity. The present finding, that regucalcin activates hepatic microsomal Ca2+-ATPase, suggests a cell physiological role of regucalcin as an activator in the microsomal Ca2+-pump activity. This action of regucalcin may not be influenced by other regulators.

Several operationally defined adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activities were determined in vitro in red blood cell lysates of normotensive or hypertensive humans: Mg2+-ATPase, Na+,K+-ATPase, and Ca2+ pump ATPase, the latter in the calmodulin-activated and basal states. Basal Ca2+ pump ATPase was defined as the Ca2+-activated ATPase resistant to 10(-4) M trifluoperazine. Subjects were part of a double-blind study in which treatment was divided into several phases: baseline (4 weeks), placebo or calcium (1 g elemental calcium/day, 8 weeks), placebo washout (4 weeks), placebo or calcium (1 g elemental calcium/day, 8 weeks). Irrespective of the phase of treatment, the basal Ca2+ pump ATPase activity in red blood cell lysates of 36 hypertensive subjects was significantly less than that in lysates from 18 normotensive subjects. Other ATPase activities did not differ significantly, although all ATPases tended to be decreased in hypertension. The data are consistent with previous reports of altered membrane Ca2+ binding and transport in hypertension, but the precise changes are not elucidated.

We used the method of ultracytochemical reaction for magnesium ion-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (Mg2+-ATPase) activity to study endothelial functions in various stages of chronic relapsing experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE). In the endothelia of small vessels of the spinal cord of control guinea pigs, Mg2+-ATPase activity was cytochemically observed on the abluminal plasmalemma, and in pinocytotic vesicles and pits, but not on the luminal plasmalemma. The endothelia at the preclinical stage of EAE and in unaffected areas at various clinical stages, showed the same localization of Mg2+-ATPase activity as that in the control group. From the acute stage of active demyelination to the last stage of inactive lesions, Mg2+-ATPase activity in the endothelia of affected areas was localized on the luminal and abluminal surfaces of the plasmalemma, and in vesicles and pits. However, the intensity of the activity was lower than that in the control group. These findings suggest that, in chronic relapsing EAE, the endothelia of affected areas function differently from the endothelia of normal or unaffected areas.

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.

The mechanism of the anaesthetic effect of toluene on the central nervous system (CNS) was studied by using rat erythrocyte and synaptosome membranes as nerve cell models both in vitro and in vivo. The activities of the membrane-bound integral enzymes acetylcholinesterase (AChE), total adenosine triphosphatase (total ATPase) and magnesium-activated adenosine triphosphatase (Mg2+-ATPase) were determined. A short-term exposure to 2000 p.p.m. of toluene had an inhibitory effect on the enzyme activities studied. The degree of inhibition in erythrocyte membranes in vitro and in vivo, and in synaptosome membranes in vitro were in good correlation. In in vivo conditions, the synaptosome-bound enzymes were, however, significantly more inhibited by toluene, which indicates that membranes in vivo are even more vulnerable to the toxic effects of organic solvents than they are as isolated membranes in vitro. However, our results show that in vitro experiments can be used to predict the toxic nerve cell membrane effects of organic solvents. Toluene caused similar enzyme inhibitions both in neural cell membranes and in erythrocyte membranes. Thus, even peripheral non-excitable cell membranes, like erythrocytes, can be used as nerve cell membrane models in studies on the mechanism of the anaesthesia caused by solvents.

Sheep T lymphocytes showed a cell surface magnesium-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (Mg2+-ATPase) reaction, which is reported to be characteristic of human B lymphocytes. In cryostat sections of lymph nodes, spleen and thymus, Mg2+-ATPase positive regions closely matched those labelled by sheep pan T monoclonal antibodies (Moab). An Mg2+-ATPase reaction was also found in fibroblastic recticulum cells of T cell regions in lymph nodes. Double labelling of cells from peripheral blood and peripheral lymph for Mg2+-ATPase and the pan T marker showed that 78% of the lymphocytes were positive for both of these markers. In cell suspensions enriched for B lymphocytes the percentage of cells positively labelled was decreased to 37%. Samples of each cell population which were labelled with a pan T Moab and analysed by flow microfluorometry revealed T cell levels which were not significantly different from those obtained by histochemical or immunohistochemical techniques. Less than 1% of lymphocytes positive for heavy and light chains of immunoglobulin (Ig) G were labelled with Mg2+-ATPase. Veiled cells in lymph and monocytes showed a cytoplasmic Mg2+-ATPase reaction.

The effect of culture conditions, serum supplementation or chemically defined medium and the influence of thyroid hormone were studied on the development of the Na+, K+-adenosine triphosphatase (Na+,K+-ATPase) and on the intracellular content of K+ and Na+ ions in cultures which either were greatly enriched in a neuronal cell type, the cerebellar granule cells, or contained a mixed population of cells (brain reaggregates). Foetal rat brain reaggregates displayed lower Na+,K+-ATPase activity when cultured in chemically defined medium than in the presence of serum. Supplementation of the serum-free medium with thyroid hormone resulted in a rise in the Na+,K+-ATPase activity and [3H]ouabain binding to levels similar to those found in the cultures grown in the serum-containing medium. Thyroid hormone had no significant effect on the Mg2+-ATPase activity and on the intracellular content of Na+ and K+ ions. In the granule cell-enriched cerebellar surface cultures the Na+,K+-ATPase activity was lower when the cells were grown in chemically defined medium compared with the serum-containing medium, and the intracellular Na+ to K+ ratio was higher. Thyroid hormone had no effect on the Na+,K+-ATPase activity, [3H]ouabain binding or Mg2+-ATPase activity. The hormone also failed to influence ATPase activities in cerebellar astrocytes maintained in chemically defined medium. Although thyroid hormone had no effect on the Na+,K+-ATPase activity of cultured cerebellar granule cells, treatment with the hormone resulted in a decrease in the ratio of intracellular Na+ to K+ ion content. The effect of the hormone on the Na+,K+-pump activity in live cells was therefore tested by estimating ouabain-sensitive 86Rb uptake. This was regulated as in other cell types, by the rate of Na+ entry: the Na+-ionophore monensin trebled the rate of 86Rb uptake, which was also increased (+30-100%) by 10% foetal calf serum, the maximal response being obtained by about 20 min exposure to serum. The effect was completely blocked by the Na+/H+ exchange inhibitor amiloride. The factor(s) in the serum responsible for the regulation of the Na+,K+-pump were, however, not the thyroid hormones, which failed to affect 86Rb uptake. On the basis of comparing thyroid hormone effects on the different cultures studied it was concluded that not every type of neural cell is target of the hormone action during development.
