By means of a preparation technique based on the discontinuous sucrose density gradient, subcellular fractions were isolated from guinea pig intestinal smooth muscle cells. A fraction which distributed to a 33% sucrose layer showed relatively high activities of 5'-nucleotidase, Na+ . K+-ATPase and ouabain sensitive Na+ . K+-ATPase. The fraction had a low NaN3 sensitive Mg2+-ATPase activity. On the other hand, the high activity of glucose-6-phosphatase showed a broad distribution. Though the sucrose density gradient proceeded over a series of the fine layers, cross-contamination of microsome into the 33% sucrose fraction was not reduced. To reduce microsomal cross-contamination, another procedure was employed. The homogenization time of 77000 xg sediment to be layered on the top of the sucrose density gradients was prolonged. This procedure did not change the distribution of K+ activated p-nitrophenylphosphatase, K+ activated ouabain sensitive p-nitrophenylphosphatase and ouabain sensitive Na+ . K+-ATPase activities. The peak of NADH cytochrome c reductase activity was shifted to a 38% sucrose fraction from a 33% sucrose fraction and the activity of this marker enzyme in the 33% sucrose fraction decreased to 60% of that of the prior procedure.

1. The specific activity of brain (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and Mg2+ -ATPase of the ground squirrel (Spermophilus richardsonii) is significantly increased after long-term hibernation. 2. The markedly non-linear thermal dependence of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase is unchanged during hibernation whereas the near linear thermal dependence of Mg2+-ATPase undergoes minor alteration after prolonged hibernation. 3. The sensitivity of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase to inhibition by ouabain is significantly decreased after 100 days of hibernation as is both the rate and amount of [3H]-ouabain binding. 4. These changes may be related to alteration in the phospholipid matrix of the membrane rather than alteration in the protein structure of the enzyme.

1. The specific activity of renal cortical (Na+ + K+)-ATPase of the Richardson ground squirrel is markedly reduced during hibernation, in contrast to the specific activity of the accompanying Mg2+-ATPase which is markedly increased. 2. The sensitivity of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase to inhibition by ouabain is unchanged by hibernation. 3. Both the non-linear thermal dependence of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and the linear thermal dependence of Mg2+-ATPase are also unchanged by hibernation. 4. The energy of activation of both enzymes is unchanged during hibernation, or by comparison with that determined in awake controls. 5. There is no evidence for inherent "cold resistance" in these enzyme preparations compared to similar preparations from the non-hibernating rabbit. This parameter does not change during hibernation. 6. Both the rate and amount of specific [3H]-ouabain binding to the renal cortical preparations of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase decrease during hibernation. This decrease matches the fall in enzyme activity so that the ratio of pumping sites/unit of enzyme activity shows no seasonal variations. 7. These findings suggest that the amount of renal cortical (Na+ + K+)-ATPase enzyme falls during hibernation, but that the enzyme which remains functions with the same thermodynamic efficiency and identical biochemical characteristics of that found in the awake summer controls.

The sonication of 30 S dynein obtained from Tetrahymena cilia induced dissociation into 14-S subunits, some of the enzyme still remaining as intact 30 S dynein and partially dissociated dynein (21 S) in a minor amount. It was demonstrated that the enzymatic properties of the 14 S subunit are quite similar to those of 30 S dynein except for the Ca2+:Mg2+ ratio. ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) (ATP phosphohydrolase activity of the 14 S subunit was steadily enhanced by increasing concentrations of Mg2+. It was also activated by Ca2+ with an optimum at 6 mM but inhibited by a further increase in concentration. The Ca2+:Mg2+ ratio at 1 mM was about 0.62. 0.6 M KCl stimulated ATPase activity of the 14 S subunit two-fold. The Mg2+-ATPase had an optimum at pH 6.2 and revealed a high activity over pH 10. The Ca2+-ATPase showed two optima at pH 6.2 and 9.5. The Km for ATP was 10 muM. Only 10% of the 14 S subunit recombined with the outer fibers in the presence of Mg2+. The 14 S subunit was shown to have the same mobility as that of 30 S dynein on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

The degradation of rat cardiac myofibrils and their constituent proteins with a myosin-cleaving protease was studied. Electrophoretograms of the digestion products of myofibrils showed that myosin,M-protein, C-protein, and troponin were degraded, but actin and tropomyosin were not. Degradation of these constituents resulted in losses of the Mg2+-ATPase activity and its Ca2+-sensitivity of myofibrils. Incubation of myofibrils with the protease induced the release of alpha-actinin without degradation. Susceptibilities of myosin, actin, troponin, and alpha-actinin purified from rat and pig hearts to the protease were essentially identical to those of the assembled forms in myofibrils. Although the purified tropomyosin was readily degraded into five fragments with the protease, the tropomyosin assembled in myofibrils and actin-tropomyosin complex were insusceptible to the protease. Digestion of myosin in the filamentous state with the protease resulted in the disappearance of myosin heavy chain and light chain 2, producing two fragments having molecular weights of 130,000 and 94,000 which originated from the degradation of heavy chain. The Ca2+- and EDTA-ATPase activities of the degradation products remained unchanged during incubation for 22 h. The actin-activated ATPase activity of myosin was reduced by 30% during incubation for 6 h, and recovered to the original level on adding actin to give a ratio of actin to myosin of 2:1. The pH optima for degradation of myosin in the soluble and filamentous states were 8.5 and 7.0, respectively. The results indicate that cardiac myosin in the filamentous state was more readily degraded with the protease than the myosin in the soluble state.

The luminal plasma membrane of calf urinary bladder epithelium (urothelium) has been isolated by a method designed to preserve enzymic activity as well as structural integrity. The yield was about 80 micrograms per calf bladder. Low levels of 5' nucleotidase, Mg2+-ATPase and (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activities were found in the luminal membrane fraction. Cerebroside was the major lipid present and dodecyl sulphate gel electrophoresis revealed a complex protein and glycoprotein composition in the whole membrane. A membrane fraction consisting of only the plaque areas was shown to have a simpler protein composition with major polypeptides of apparent Mr 12 000 and 22 000. These may associate to form a 30 000 apparent Mr complex which could represent the individual 'particles' of the dodecameric subunits seen by electron microscopy in the plaque regions.

Several inhibitors of energy metabolism decreased the ATP-stimulated uptake of catecholamines by isolated synaptic vesicles from rat brain and by chromaffin granules from bovine adrenal medulla. Catecholamine uptake was inhibited by dinitrophenol, S-13 and oleic acid, which are known to block active transport by dissipating trans-membrane proton gradients. Thus a proton gradient appears to be involved in catecholamine transport. Both catecholamine uptake and vesicle-associated Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase were inhibited by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and tributyltin, which had previously been shown to inhibit the Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase of mitochondria. However, mitochondrial ATPase was not involved in catecholamine uptake as oligomycin and aurovertin, more specific inhibitors of mitochondrial ATPase, did not affect catecholamine uptake. It is suggested that ATP stimulates catecholamine uptake by serving as a substrate for the ATPase. Activity of this enzyme causes translocation of protons across the vesicle membrane establishing a trans-membrane proton gradient. The proton gradient drives the transport of catecholamines.

Interaction between protein and phospholipid molecules in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was studied by measurement of the conformational fluctuation of the protein using the kinetics of the hydrogen-deuterium exchange reaction. It was revealed that the state of SR ATPase undergoes a phase transition at about 18 degrees C with boundary lipids, corresponding to a discrete change in the activation energy of the Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase reaction.

The aminophospholipid translocase is a plasma membrane Mg2(+)-ATPase which selectively pumps the aminophospholipids (phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine) from the outer to the inner monolayer in eukaryotic cells and is predominantly responsible for the asymmetric phospholipid distribution of the plasma membrane. Similar ATP-dependent transport of phospholipid takes place in some organelles such as chromaffin granules. On the other hand, the phospholipid flippase of rat liver endoplasmic reticulum does not require ATP and has a low lipid specificity. The biological implications of these phospholipid flippases are discussed.

Taurocholate transport was characterized in basolateral plasma membrane vesicles prepared from the livers of 14-day-old Sprague-Dawley rats using a self-generating Percoll gradient method. Liver plasma membrane protein yield, intravesicular volume, and enrichments of various marker enzymes were similar to those obtained for vesicles from adult rat liver. The basolateral marker enzyme Na+-K+-ATPase was enriched 26-fold in the suckling rat basolateral membrane fraction while the bile canalicular marker enzymes alkaline phosphatase and Mg2+-ATPase were enriched only 3- and 5-fold, respectively. The activities of marker enzymes for endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, or lysosomes were not enriched compared with homogenate. In the presence of an inwardly directed 100 mM Na+ gradient, vesicle accumulation of taurocholate transiently reached a concentration 1.5- to 2-fold higher than that at equilibrium ("overshoot") in suckling and adult membrane vesicles, but the initial rate of taurocholate entry and peak intravesicular accumulation were markedly decreased in suckling compared with adult membrane vesicles. In the presence of an inwardly directed 100 mM K+ gradient, the rate of uptake was slower, and no overshoot occurred in either suckling or adult rat vesicles. The decreased rate of Na+-coupled taurocholate uptake by membrane vesicles from suckling rat liver could not be explained on the basis of more rapid dissipation of the transmembrane Na+ gradient. Kinetic studies demonstrated saturable, Na+-dependent taurocholate uptake for both suckling and adult vesicles. However, the Vmax for taurocholate uptake in suckling rat vesicles was less than half of the adult rate (2.46 +/- 0.13 vs. 5.25 +/- 0.22 nmol X mg prot-1 X min-1, respectively, P less than 0.001).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
