We have characterized the subunit composition of the chloroplast ATP synthase from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii by means of a comparison of the polypeptide deficiencies in a mutant defective in photophosphorylation, with the polypeptide content in purified coupling factor (CF)1 and CF1.CF0 complexes. We could distinguish nine subunits in the enzyme, four of which were CF0 subunits. Further characterization of these subunits was undertaken by immunoblotting experiments, [14C]dicyclohexylcarbodiimide binding and analysis of their site of translation. In particular, we were able to show the presence of an as yet unidentified delta subunit in CF1 from C. reinhardtii. We have identified a 70-kDa peripheral membrane protein in the thylakoid membranes of C. reinhardtii, which is immunologically related to the beta subunit of CF1. We discuss its conceivable ATPase function with respect to the Ca2+-dependent ATPase activity previously reported in the thylakoid membranes from C. reinhardtii.

The cytochemical distribution of Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase was studied ultrastructurally, using a lead capture method at pH 8.5 and compared in various tissues. In thymic, splenic and activated peripheral blood lymphocytes and in cultured HeLa cells activity was consistently localised on the nuclear envelope, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria and weakly on centrioles, but not on the plasma membrane. Intracellular activity was similarly distributed in intestinal absorptive cells where activity was particularly strong in the Golgi apparatus, and in hepatocytes where, however, activity was generally weak. Intracellular activity was lacking in renal glomerular and tubular cells and in cerebellar neurons and neuroglia. Variable activity was present on the outer surface of the plasma membrane, particularly on the brush borders of intestinal and renal tubular absorptive cells, the basolateral invaginations of distal tubules and the bile canaliculi. Mitochondrial activity, when present, was inhibited by oligomycin. The localisation at different sites may represent biochemically different ATPases including endoplasmic reticular ATPase involved in intracellular calcium regulation, oligomycin-sensitive mitochondrial ATPase, dynein-like ATPase associated with centrioles and an ectoenzyme associated with cell surface specialisations.

The mycotoxin, cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), inhibits the Ca2+-stimulated ATPase (EC 3.6.1.38) and Ca2+ transport activity of sarcoplasmic reticulum (Goeger, D. E., Riley, R. T., Dorner, J. W., and Cole, R. J. (1988) Biochem. Pharmacol. 37, 978-981). We found that at low ATP concentrations (0.5-2 microM) the inhibition of ATPase activity was essentially complete at a CPA concentration of 6-8 nmol/mg protein, indicating stoichiometric reaction of CPA with the Ca2+-ATPase. Cyclopiazonic acid caused similar inhibition of the Ca2+-stimulated ATP hydrolysis in intact sarcoplasmic reticulum and in a purified preparation of Ca2+-ATPase. Cyclopiazonic acid also inhibited the Ca2+-dependent acetylphosphate, p-nitrophenylphosphate and carbamylphosphate hydrolysis by sarcoplasmic reticulum. ATP protected the enzyme in a competitive manner against inhibition by CPA, while a 10(5)-fold change in free Ca2+ concentration had only moderate effect on the extent of inhibition. CPA did not influence the crystallization of Ca2+-ATPase by vanadate or the reaction of fluorescein-5'-isothiocyanate with the Ca2+-ATPase, but it completely blocked at concentrations as low as 1-2 mol of CPA/mol of ATPase the fluorescence changes induced by Ca2+ and [ethylenebis(oxyethylenenitrilo)]tetraacetic acid (EGTA) in FITC-labeled sarcoplasmic reticulum and inhibited the cleavage of Ca2+-ATPase by trypsin at the T2 cleavage site in the presence of EGTA. These observations suggest that CPA interferes with the ATP-induced conformational changes related to Ca2+ transport. The effect of CPA on the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase appears to be fairly specific, since the kidney and brain Na+,K+-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.37), the gastric H+,K+-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.36), the mitochondrial F1-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.34), the Ca2+-ATPase of erythrocytes, and the Mg2+-activated ATPase of T-tubules and surface membranes of rat skeletal muscle were not inhibited by CPA, even at concentrations as high as 1000 nmol/mg protein.

1. Skeletal muscle mitochondria of malignant hyperthermia (MH)-susceptible patients showed normal oxidative phosphorylation but were more easily uncoupled than normal by exogenous Ca2+. 2. Fatty acids, in stimulating the mitochondrial ATPase activity, are responsible for the enhanced State 4 respiration in MH-susceptible patients. 3. These results imply that skeletal muscle mitochondria and free fatty acids are associated with the development of MH syndrome.

The effects of interleukin 1, transforming growth factor-beta (coupling factors), prostaglandin E1, and prostaglandin E2 on incorporation of 45Ca2+ and on alkaline phosphatase activity were studied using cultured ROS 17/2.8 cells, one of cell lines derived from rat osteosarcoma. We found that all these factors stimulate both the incorporation of 45Ca2+ and alkaline phosphatase activity of these cells. On the other hand, one of the bone resorption hormones, parathyroid hormone (PTH), suppressed the proliferation of cells and decreased the alkaline phosphatase activity at considerably low concentrations (1 X 10(-12)-1 X 10(-11) M). However, the hormone stimulated the incorporation of 45Ca2+ by these cells in a dose-dependent manner; the maximum stimulation on day 3 was observed at 1 X 10(-7) M and it was approximately 3 times the control value. The data suggest therefore, that the osteoblasts incorporated calcium ions and transported them while bone resorption was occurring. Thus the ROS 17/2.8 cell line appears to be an advantageous experimental system for the study of calcium metabolism of osteoblasts in vitro.

Submitochondrial particles (A particles) and phosphorylating electron-transport particles (ETPH) were prepared from bovine heart mitochondria. The A particles either were supplemented with or were depleted of the mitochondrial calcium-binding ATPase inhibitor protein (CaBI). The CaBI-depleted A particles still retained the Pullman-Monroy ATPase inhibitor protein (PMI), and the other particles all contained both CaBI and PMI. ATP synthase and ATPase activities of the particles were measured in similar reaction mixtures by luminescence of firefly luciferin-luciferase. Succinate was the respiratory substrate, and the adenylate kinase inhibitor P1, P5-di(adenosine-5') pentaphosphate was obligatory. The ATP synthase activity of CaBI-depleted A particles was 30-40% of that of the A and ETPH particles, and its ATPase activity was 7-8 times greater. Reconstitution of the CaBI-depleted A particles with CaBI restored the original ATP synthase and ATPase activities. ATP synthase activity rose about 1.7-fold when A particles were supplemented with additional CaBI and ATPase activity dropped to 9% of the original. Varying Ca2+ levels had little or no effect on the ATP synthase and ATPase activities of the CaBI-depleted A particles. In contrast, ATP synthase activity of the other particles was decreased by as much as 70% at the optimal Ca2+ concentration of 1 microM, and the ATPase activity of the A and EPTH particles rose concomitantly by 7-8-fold. The ATP synthase and ATPase activities of all the particles in microM Ca2+ became like those of the CaBI-depleted A particles. These changes were reversible; normal activities were restored as Ca2+ concentrations were raised above 1 microM.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The Ca2+- or Mg2+-activated ATPase from rat liver plasma membrane was partly purified by treatments with sodium cholate and lysophosphatidylcholine, and by isopycnic centrifugation on sucrose gradients. The ATPase activity had high sensitivity to detergents, poor nucleotide specificity and broad tolerance for divalent cations. It was insensitive to mitochondrial ATPase inhibitors such as oligomycin and to transport ATPase inhibitors such as vanadate and ouabain. Using the cholate dialysis procedure, the partly purified enzyme was incorporated into asolectin vesicles. Upon addition of Mg2+-ATP, fluorescence quenching of 9-amino-6-chloro-2-methoxyacridine (ACMA) was observed. The quenching was abolished by a protonophore, carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP). Asolectin vesicles or purified ATPase alone failed to promote quenching. These data suggest that the Ca2+- or Mg2+-activated ATPase from rat liver plasma membrane is able of H+-translocation coupled to ATP hydrolysis.

Chylomicron remnant catabolism appears to be mediated by apolipoprotein (apo) E binding to hepatic lipoprotein receptors. Previously, the apo B,E(LDL) receptor and a unique apo E-binding protein (referred to as the apo E receptor) were isolated from solubilized canine and human livers. In the present study, the apo E-binding fraction was further characterized and found to contain at least three proteins, all of which bind apo E-containing lipoproteins with high affinity. The 56-kDa band was found to contain the alpha- and beta-subunits of F1-ATPase, presumably derived from mitochondrial membranes. In addition, an apo E-binding protein with an apparent Mr approximately equal to 59,000 was identified. The 59-kDa protein displays calcium-independent binding on ligand blots, but displays both calcium-dependent and -independent binding in assays performed with detergent-solubilized protein. The 59-kDa protein recognized lipid-free as well as lipid-bound apo E in ligand blots, and also bound apo E-2, apo E-3, and apo E-4 in a comparable way. Monoclonal antibodies produced against the 59-kDa protein did not react with the 56-kDa proteins. Normal human liver, as well as the liver of a patient lacking the apo B,E(LDL) receptor, possessed the 56-kDa and 59-kDa proteins. These data indicate that liver cells possess at least three proteins, in addition to the apo B,E(LDL) receptor, that bind apo E-containing lipoproteins with high affinity. The physiological role of these proteins in apo E metabolism remains to be determined.

The only known cellular action of AlF4- is to stimulate the G-proteins. The aim of the present work is to demonstrate that AlF4- also inhibits 'P'-type cation-transport ATPases. NaF plus AlCl3 completely and reversibly inhibits the activity of the purified (Na+ + K+)-ATPase (Na+- and K+-activated ATPase) and of the purified plasmalemmal (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase (Ca2+-stimulated and Mg2+-dependent ATPase). It partially inhibits the activity of the sarcoplasmic-reticulum (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase, whereas it does not affect the mitochondrial H+-transporting ATPase. The inhibitory substances are neither F- nor Al3+ but rather fluoroaluminate complexes. Because AlF4- still inhibits the ATPase in the presence of guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate, and because guanosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate does not inhibit the ATPase, it is unlikely that the inhibition could be due to the activation of an unknown G-protein. The time course of inhibition and the concentrations of NaF and AlCl3 required for this inhibition differ for the different ATPases. AlF4- inhibits the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and the plasmalemmal (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase noncompetitively with respect to ATP and to their respective cationic substrates, Na+ and Ca2+. AlF4- probably binds to the phosphate-binding site of the ATPase, as the Ki for inhibition of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and of the plasmalemmal (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase is shifted in the presence of respectively 5 and 50 mM-Pi to higher concentrations of NaF. Moreover, AlF4- inhibits the K+-activated p-nitrophenylphosphatase of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase competitively with respect to p-nitrophenyl phosphate. This AlF4- -induced inhibition of 'P'-type cation-transport ATPases warns us against explaining all the effects of AlF4- on intact cells by an activation of G-proteins.

The rate of oxidative phosphorylation was studied in rat liver mitochondria incubated with free Ca2+ concentrations that range from 10(-9) to 5 X 10(-6) M. The highest rate was observed between 0.5-1.0 microM Ca2+. ATP synthesis was measured by polarographic and spectrophotometric techniques and by uptake of radioactive inorganic phosphate. The concentration of Ca2+ at which maximal rates of ATP synthesis take place is modified by Mg2+ and phosphate. The dependence of oxidative phosphorylation on Ca2+ was observed with alpha-ketoglutarate, glutamate + malate, and succinate, but not with beta-hydroxybutyrate. At 10(-9) M Ca2+ there is a continuous exit of endogenous Ca2+, while with 10(-6) M Ca2+, intramitochondrial Ca2+ levels remained constant throughout time. Apparently the control of the level of internal Ca2+ by external Ca2+ modulates the rate of oxidative phosphorylation. Uncoupler-stimulated respiration also depends on Ca2+ concentration, even though at 10(-9) to 10(-6) M Ca2+ the rate of oxidative phosphorylation is lower than the rate of uncoupled respiration. The contribution of the ADP/ATP carrier and the ATP synthase to the kinetic regulation of ATP synthesis at 10(-9) and 10(-6) M Ca2+ was evaluated by titrations with carboxyatractyloside and oligomycin, respectively. The contribution of the carrier and the synthase to the regulation of the final rate of ATP synthesis was different at the two concentrations of Ca2+; therefore, the concentration of extramitochondrial Ca2+ influences the overall kinetics of oxidative phosphorylation.
