1. During aerobic incubation in 5 mM glucose medium, 10(-5) M-DNP reduced the action potential duration and amplitude and the developed tension of guinea-pig ventricular muscle more rapidly and to a greater extent than anoxia.2. The DNP effect on electrical and mechanical activity was even more pronounced following prolonged anoxic incubation. Since the action potential duration and developed tension of anoxic ventricular muscle have previously been shown to be dependent on glycolytic ATP, and since the effects of DNP could not be duplicated with NaCN, it was concluded that DNP was exerting an effect in addition to its uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation.3. Anoxic muscle was incubated with 10(-4) M-IAA or with 10(-4) M-IAA + 10(-4) M-DNP. The ATP content of IAA-treated muscle was significantly lower than control but in the presence of both IAA and DNP there was a further reduction in ATP and an increased lactate production.4. Sodium azide (10(-2) M), a potent inhibitor of mitochondrial ATPase, did not prevent the reduction of ATP in DNP-treated anoxic muscle.5. Ouabain (10(-7) M) partially prevented the rapid decline of action potential duration and developed tension of DNP-treated anoxic muscle. In addition, the glycoside partially blocked the DNP-induced break-down of ATP and stimulation of lactate production.6. Oligomycin (10 mug/ml.) partially prevented the reduction in action potential duration and developed tension of DNP-treated anoxic muscle.7. It was concluded that DNP induces an ;energy leak' by actively promoting the hydrolysis of an high energy glycolytic intermediate at least one step beyond the sites of ATPase inhibition by ouabain and oligomycin.

Inhibitor titration experiments carried out with carboxyatractyloside, oligomycin and rotenone show that in the case of heart mitochondria the membrane-bound ATPase and the respiratory chain are the major factors controlling the rate of oxidative phosphorylation whereas the adenine nucleotide carrier exhibits no control strength. As shown by carboxyatractyloside titration curves under different conditions, the relative importance of the adenine nucleotide carrier depends on the mode of regeneration (F1-ATPase or glucose plus hexokinase) of ADP from ATP exported outside mitochondria, on the total concentration of adenine nucleotides present in the medium and on the mode of limitation of the rate of respiration (cyanide, rotenone, oligomycin or mersalyl). Concomitantly with the inhibition of O2 consumption, carboxyatractyloside brings about a rise in membrane potential. The inverse relationship between the two processes is observed for carboxyatractyloside concentrations ranging between 0.7 and 1.5 nmol per mg protein. Carboxyatractyloside concentrations below and above this range increase the membrane potential without affecting significantly the rate of respiration. Titration experiments aimed at comparing the effects of ADP, carboxyatractyloside and the uncoupler, carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone, corroborate the conclusion that in heart mitochondria a major limiting factor in oxidative phosphorylation is the capacity of the respiratory chain.

High-field 31P NMR techniques have been used to measure transmembrane delta pH in wild-type, unc A, and hem A mutants of Escherichia coli. delta psi was measured by distribution methods with radioactive tetraphenylphosphonium bromide and 86Rb+ ions as the probes, while intracellular ATP, ADP, and inorganic phosphate concentrations were determined from the 31P NMR spectra. delta G'p and the stoichiometry for ATP synthesis [delta G'p/(F delta p)] were then calculated. The stoichiometry of the ATP synthase was found to vary as a function of the cellular metabolic state. In nongrowing, wild-type cells delta p was 192 +/- 16 mV with succinate as the substrate and saturating oxygen tension. With limiting oxygen (congruent to microM oxygen), delta p was 125 +/- 14 mV. Nucleoside triphosphate synthesis was observed in both cases. The H+/ATP stoichiometry varied from 2.15 +/- 0.35 under aerobic conditions to 3.6 +/- 0.8 at low oxygen tension. delta p for unc A cells was 140 +/- 14 mV with glucose as the substrate (greater than 2.5 microM oxygen) and for hem A mutants was 115 +/- 10 mV. The bulk phase potentials in oxygen-limited, wild-type cells and in respiratory deficient (hem A) cells are comparable, but in the former the ATPase is poised for synthesis while in the latter it generates delta p. The data support a role for localized interactions between the redox and the ATPase sites.

Soluble chloroplast coupling factor 1 (CF1) and the ATP synthase complex, under uncoupled conditions, can form bound ATP from tightly bound ADP and medium Pi. This partial reaction is a powerful probe of the mechanism of ATP synthesis. During our study of the synthesis of bound ATP by CF1 other enzyme activities, which generate [32P]nucleotides from 32Pi, were characterized and controlled. Two enzymes present at significant levels in the preparations are polynucleotide phosphorylase and adenylate kinase. Polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) was found both in thylakoid and CF1 preparations and catalyzed the formation of [beta-32P]ADP via its Pi----ADP exchange activity. The formation of [beta-32P]ADP during net photophosphorylation is attributable to adenylate kinase action on the [32P]ATP formed since hexokinase and glucose effectively block its production. In addition, PNPase also degraded RNA present in thylakoid preparations yielding all four [32P]nucleoside diphosphates. PNPase was also shown to catalyze a Pi----ATP exchange that is dependent on RNA primers and other cofactors.

Placental polypeptides present in crude preparations of transforming growth factors stimulate glycolysis when added to quiescent 3T3 cells, normal rat kidney, and chick embryo fibroblasts. The stimulation was apparent over a time period of at least 90 min and was seen at glucose concentrations ranging from 1 to 30 mM. Duramycin, an antibiotic isolated from Streptomyces cinnamomeus, inhibits the polypeptide-stimulated and nonstimulated glycolysis of intact cells, since it permeabilizes cells to Pi and nucleotides. However, duramycin also inhibits the Na+-K+-ATPase as well as the ouabain-insensitive Mg2+-ATPase of plasma membranes. Duramycin has no effect on glycolysis catalyzed by cell-free extracts of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells in the presence of mitochondrial ATPase but partially inhibits glycolysis when ADP and Pi are generated by ATPases of plasma membrane preparations.

The paper analyzes the relationship between membrane potential (delta psi), steady state pCao (-log [Ca2+] in the outer aqueous phase) and rate of ruthenium-red-induced Ca2+ efflux in liver mitochondria. Energized liver mitochondria maintain a pCao of about 6.0 in the presence of 1.5 mM Mg2+ and 0.5 mM Pi. A slight depression of delta psi results in net Ca2+ uptake leading to an increased steady state pCao. On the other hand, a more marked depression of delta psi results in net Ca2+ efflux, leading to a decreased steady-state pCao. These results reflect a biphasic relationship between delta psi and pCao, in that pCao increases with the increase of delta psi up to a value of about 130 mV, whereas a further increase of delta psi above 130 mV results in a decrease of pCao. The phenomenon of Ca2+ uptake following a depression of delta psi is independent of the tool used to affect delta psi whether by inward K+ current via valinomycin, or by inward H+ current through protonophores or through F1-ATP synthase, or by restriction of e- flow. The pathway for Ca2+ efflux is considerably activated by stretching of the inner membrane in hypotonic media. This activation is accompanied by a decreased pCao at steady state and by an increased rate of ruthenium-red-induced Ca2+ efflux. By restricting the rate of e- flow in hypotonically treated mitochondria, a marked dependence of the rate of ruthenium-red-induced Ca2+ efflux on the value of delta psi is observed, in that the rate of Ca2+ efflux increases with the value of delta psi. The pCao is linearly related to the rate of Ca2+ efflux. Activation of oxidative phosphorylation via addition of hexokinase + glucose to ATP-supplemented mitochondria, is followed by a phase of Ca2+ uptake, which is reversed by atractyloside. These findings support the view that Ca2+ efflux in steady state mitochondria occurs through an independent, delta psi-controlled pathway and that changes of delta psi during oxidative phosphorylation can effectively modulate mitochondrial Ca2+ distribution by inhibiting or activating the delta psi-controlled Ca2+ efflux pathway.

Certain factors that might contribute to the regulation of the rate of glycolysis by rat aorta were investigated. Rat aortic rings were incubated with [14C]glucose, and the release of [14C]lactate was determined. There was good agreement between the lactate production estimated by enzymatic assay and by [14C]lactate release, suggesting that almost all the lactate produced under our experimental conditions was derived from exogenous glucose. When the glucose concentration in the medium was 10 mM or higher, the rate of glucose transport did not limit the rate of lactate production. In most cases studies were done both aerobically and anaerobically. In Hanks' Balanced Salt Solution the aerobic rate of lactate production was 18% of the anaerobic rate. We tested the effects on glycolysis of agents that alter ATP generation by mitochondria or ATP splitting by Na+-K+-ATPase or the mitochondrial ATPase. Under aerobic conditions, ouabain (5 mM) caused a 54% decrease in lactate production, and gramicidin (5 micrograms/ml) caused a 45% increase. Under anaerobic conditions, neither ouabain nor gramicidin affected lactate production. Aerobically dinitrophenol (25 microM) and carboxyatractyloside (0.5 mM) caused substantial increases in lactate production, 72 and 98% respectively. Under anaerobic conditions the effects of dinitrophenol and carboxyatractyloside were much smaller, with dinitrophenol causing a 15% increase and carboxyatractyloside a 12% decrease in lactate production. Increasing the concentration of phosphate in the incubation medium caused marked increases in lactate production. Both aerobically and anaerobically, shifting from 1.3 to 50 mM phosphate in the incubation medium caused a 3.5-fold increase in lactate production.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The transmembranal potential, in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has been calculated from the distribution ratio of the lipophilic cation tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP+) between the intracellular and extracellular water. Trifluoperazine at concentrations of 10 to 50 microM, caused a substantial increase in the membrane potential (negative inside). This increase was observed only in the presence of a metabolic substrate and was eliminated by the addition of the protonophores 2,4-dinitrophenol and sodium azide, removal of glucose, replacement of glucose by the nonmetabolizable analog 3-O-methyl glucose, or by the addition of 100 mM KCl. An increase in 45CaCl2 accumulation from solutions of low concentrations (1 microM) was observed under all conditions where membrane potential was increased. Proton ejection activity was monitored by measurements of the rates of the decrease in the pH of unbuffered cell suspensions in the presence of glucose. Trifluoperazine inhibited the changes in medium pH; this inhibition was not the result of an increase in the permeability of cell membranes to protons since in the absence of glucose, trifluoperazine did not cause a change in the rate of pH change generated by proton influx. The activity of plasma membrane ATPase was measured in crude membrane preparations in the presence of sodium azide to inhibit mitochondrial ATPase. Trifluoperazine strongly inhibited the activity of the plasma membrane ATPase. The effect of phenothiazines on transport and on membrane potential reported in this study and in the previous one (Eilam, Y. (1983) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 733, 242-248) were observed only in the presence of a metabolic substrate. The possibility that energy is required for the uptake of phenothiazines into the cells was eliminated by results showing energy-independent uptake of [3H]chlorpromazine. The results strongly suggest that phenothiazines activate energy-dependent K+-extrusion pumps, which lead to increased membrane potential. Increased influx of calcium seems to be energized by membrane potential, and therefore stimulated under all conditions where membrane potential is increased. The analog which does not bind to calmodulin, trifluoperazine sulfoxide, had no effect on the cells, but the involvement of calmodulin in the processes altered by trifluoperazine cannot as yet, be determined.

Miconazole [( 1-[2-(2,4 dichlorophenyl)-2-(2,4 dichlorophenyl)methoxy]ethyl]-1 H-imidazole) completely inhibited growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans on glycerol at 10 microM . 50 microM was needed to achieve the same effect during growth on glucose. Miconazole inhibited competitively the mitochondrial ATPase of S. cerevisiae with a Ki of 1 microM. F1 activity of the enzyme was not affected. Mutants resistant to miconazole were isolated. The ATPase of these mutants was resistant to 10 microM miconazole. Higher concentrations of miconazole inhibited the ATPase of the plasma membrane. The inhibition of the S. cerevisiae enzyme was competitive with a Ki of 50 microM. The results point to the mitochondrial ATPase as the primary target of miconazole action at least during growth on non-fermentable carbon sources.

The properties of a new type of oligomycin-resistant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line (Olir 2.2) are described in this paper. Olir 2.2 cells were approximately 50,000-fold more resistant to oligomycin than were wild-type CHO cells when tested in glucose-containing medium, but only 10- to 100-fold more resistant when tested in galactose-containing medium. Olir 2.2 cells grew with a doubling time similar to that of wild-type cells both in the presence or absence of oligomycin. Oligomycin resistance in Olir 2.2 cells was stable in the absence of drug. In vitro assays indicated that there was approximately a 25-fold increase in the resistance of the mitochondrial ATPase to inhibition by oligomycin in Olir 2.2 cells, with little change in the total ATPase activity. The electron transport chain was shown to be functional in Olir 2.2 cells. Olir 2.2 cells were cross-resistant to other inhibitors of the mitochondrial ATPase (such as rutamycin, ossamycin, peliomycin, venturicidin, leucinostatin, and efrapeptin) and to other inhibitors of mitochondrial functions (such as chloramphenicol, rotenone, and antimycin). Oligomycin resistance was expressed codominantly in hybrids between Olir 2.2 cells and wild-type cells. Cross-resistance to ossamycin, peliomycin, chloramphenicol, antimycin, venturicidin, leucinostatin, and efrapeptin was also expressed codominantly in hybrids. Fusions of enucleated Olir 2.2 cells with wild-type cells and characterization of the resulting cybrid clones indicated that resistance to oligomycin and ossamycin results from a mutation in both a nuclear gene and a cytoplasmic gene. Cross-resistance to efrapeptin, leucinostatin, venturicidin, and antimycin results from a mutation in only a nuclear gene.
