The intracellular localization of anion-sensitive Mg2+-ATPase in rat pancreas was studied by differential centrifugation, density gradient centrifugation and by the use of inhibitors of mitochondrial Mg2+-ATPase. The anion-sensitive MG2+-ATPase appears to be localized almost exclusively in a mitochondrial (15 min, 15 000 times g) fraction which shows two peaks after density gradient centrifugation. Both peaks coincide with the highest levels of cytochrome c oxidase activity, but not with alkaline phosphatase, (Na+ plus K+)-ATPase and leucine aminopeptidase activities or RNA. They appear to be equal sensitive to inhibition by oligomycin, aurovertin D and the rat liver mitochondrial inhibitor protein, at least when 1 mM EDTA is present in the isolation media. We conclude that no significant plasma membrane-located anion-sensitive Mg2+-ATPase activity is present in rat pancreas.

The purpose of this investigation was to determine which enzyme activities are true canine neutrophil plasma membrane markers. Three enzymes thought to be present on plasma membranes were chosen for study: 5'-nucleotidase, magnesium-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (Mg2+-ATPase), and leucine aminopeptidase. Both 5'-nucleotidase and Mg2+-ATPase were found to be ectoenzymes in the canine neutrophil but additional Mg2+-ATPase activity was located intracellularly. An endogenous inhibitor of 5'-nucleotidase was found in the cytosol of canine neutrophils. The specific 5'-nucleotidase inhibitor, adenosine 5'-[alpha, beta-methylene] diphosphate also inhibited the canine enzyme in intact cells. Leucine aminopeptidase was located solely in the myeloperoxidase-containing granules of the canine neutrophil. Plasma membrane, as identified by the presence of Mg2+-ATPase and 5'-nucleotidase activities, was separated from other cell organelles by Percoll-density gradient centrifugation of a 10 000 X g supernatant of nitrogen cavitated neutrophils.

Mechanisms of alcoholic liver disease are still ill defined. We evaluated in two outbred lines of mice whether chronic ingestion of ethanol alters the lipid composition and/or enzyme activity of liver plasma membranes. Two mouse lines with different sensitivities towards the hypnotic effect of ethanol, designated long sleep and short sleep, were fed a liquid diet containing ethanol for 30 days. Ethanol intake reached 30 gm per kg per day in both lines, and serum ethanol levels were similar. In addition, hepatic triglyceride levels were similarly increased 2-fold with ethanol feeding. The following effects of ethanol treatment were observed in liver plasma membrane fractions: (i) Na+,K+-ATPase was significantly increased to 26% above control in long sleep only; (ii) alkaline phosphatase activity was 2-fold increased in both lines; (iii) 5'-nucleotidase, leucine aminopeptidase and Mg2+-ATPase activities remained unchanged in both lines; (iv) unesterified cholesterol and total phospholipid contents were unaltered in both lines, and (v) cholesteryl esters were increased in both lines, but to a greater extent in short sleep (1.5 vs. 4-fold). Thus, chronic ethanol ingestion induces specific alterations in liver plasma membrane structure and function, suggesting that adaptive responses to ethanol may be determined in part by inherited factors.

Two highly purified plasma membrane fractions have been obtained from mouse parotid glands by a combination of differential centrifugation and isopycnic centrifugation in discontinuous sucrose gradients. The membranes were characterized by enzymic, chemical and morphological criteria. The effect of isoproterenol, which induces parotid acinar cells to proliferate, upon sialic acid and five different enzyme activities located in the plasma membrane phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.1), Mg2+-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.4), leucine aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.1.1), protein kinase (EC 2.7.1.37) and sialyltransferase (EC 2.4.99.1), were quantified along the cell cycle. Plasma membrane sialic acid content falls 30% within 30 min and remains depressed for at least 6 h with the major restoration towards normal levels occurring between 12 and 16 h later. In contrast multiple daily isoproterenol injections lead to a more than 2-fold elevation of sialic acid content. Sialyltransferase activity rises 2-fold by 12 h after isoproterenol treatment and then rapidly falls. This enzyme has a pH optimum of 6.5, requires a divalent cation for activity and is inhibited by Triton X-100. Other enzyme activities showed markedly different changes after isoproterenol stimulation, either increasing, decreasing or remaining unaltered. These continuous functional modifications suggest an active role of the plasma membrane in the control of the proliferative cycle.

The effect of a single oral dose of malathion (1 g/kg body wt.) on the digestive and absorptive functions of the intestinal epithelium has been investigated in rats. The absorption of glucose and glycine was considerably reduced (35%) inpesticide fed animals compared to controls. The activities of brush border sucrase, lactase, alkaline phosphatase, Mg2+-ATPase and lactate dehydrogenase were also significantly depressed in malathion exposed rats, but there was no change in the leucine aminopeptidase levels under these conditions. Mucosal DNA, RNA and protein contents remained unaltered in pesticide toxicity. These results suggest that malathion toxicity induces functional derangements of the intestine.
