The effect of thyroxine administration upon ATPase activity of several subcellular fractions of livers from rats and guinea pigs has been studied. To determine a patho-physiological dose of levo thyroxine [T4] for guinea pigs, a dose-response curve was examined of T4 effect upon oxidative phosphorylatin of guinea pig liver mitochondria. Maximum stimulation of mitochondrial respiration without uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation was found with 15 microgram of T4 per 100 g body weight per day. This dose of T4 stimulated Mg++ activated ATPase of plasma membranes of guinea pigs and slightly stimulated Mg++ activated ATPase of guinea pig liver nuclear membranes. Rat liver nuclear membrane ATPase was not responsive to thyroxine at doses from 5 to 150 microgram per 100 g body weight. T4 significantly stimulated Ca++ or Mg++ ATPase of mitochondria and microsomes from both rat and guinea pig liver. Microsomes from both species were maximally activated by Mg++ and no significant additional stimulation with Ca++ was found. Mitochondrial ATPase from both species showed significantly greater Ca++ plus Mg++ ATPase activity than did Mg++ alone. Ca++ activated ATPase was approximately equal to dinitrophenol stimulated mitochondrial ATPase. Maximum activation of microsomal ATPase in both species was found with 1 mM calcium. We conclude that at physiological-intracellular concentrations of Ca++ and Mg++, thyroxine probably stimulates Mg++ activated microsomal ATPase and Ca++ activated mitochondrial ATPase. A potential role of Ca++ as a moderator of thyroxine stimulated activity in mitochondria and the relation of calcium to other metabolic reactions that are thyroxine sensitive is discussed.

New membrane-preference scales are introduced for categories of membrane proteins with different functions. A statistical analysis is carried out with several scales to verify the relative accuracy in the prediction of the transmembrane segments of polytopic membrane proteins. The correlation between some of the scales most used and those calculated here provides criteria for selecting the most appropriate methods for a given type of protein. The parameters used in the evaluation of the hydropathy profiles have been carefully ascertained in order to develop a reliable methodology for hydropathy analysis. Finally, an integrated hydropathy analysis using different methods has been applied to several sequences of related proteins. The above analysis indicates that (a) microsomal cytochrome P450 contains only one hydrophobic region at the N-terminus that is consistently predicted to transverse the membrane: (b) only four of the six or seven putative transmembrane helices of cytochrome oxidase subunit III are predicted and correspond to helices I, III, V and VI of the previous nomenclature; (c) the product of the mitochondrial ATPase-6 gene (or the chloroplast ATPase-IV gene) of F0-F1-ATPase shows that helix IV is not consistently predicted to traverse the membrane, suggesting a four-helix model for this family of proteins.

Hypocrellin A (HA), a perylene quinone derivative, is a new photosensitizer extracted from Hypocrella bambusae (B et Br) Sace. A high voltage sodium lamp was used as the light source; the illumination intensity was 105 mW/cm2. After HA 25 micrograms/ml and illumination for 10 min, mitochondrial ATPase and microsomal G-6-Pase of hepatoma cells were intensively inhibited, but mitochondrial MAO was not affected. Sulfhydryl contents of the mitochondrial and microsomal membrane proteins were significantly reduced. Lipid peroxidation of mitochondrial and microsomal membrane lipids were greatly enhanced. It is concluded that mitochondria and microsomes are the sensitive targets in cells with respect to HA photosensitization.

The native tonoplast and the mitochondrial H+-ATPase from oat roots were compared to determine whether the two enzymes have similar mechanisms. H+ pumping in low-density microsomal vesicles reflected activity from the tonoplast-type ATPase, as ATPase activity and ATP-dependent H+ pumping (quinacrine fluorescence quenching) showed similar sensitivities to inhibition by N-ethylmaleimide, N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, 4,4'-diisothiocyano-2,2'-stilbene disulfonate, nitrate, quercetin, or 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole. The tonoplast-type ATPase was stimulated by C1-,Br- greater than HCO3- whereas the mitochondrial ATPase was stimulated by HCO3- much greater than C1-,Br-. Both enzymes hydrolyzed ATP preferentially and were inhibited competitively by AMP or ADP. Apart from resistance to azide, the tonoplast-type ATPase was strikingly similar in its inhibitor sensitivities to the mitochondrial ATPase. The insensitivity to vanadate of both enzymes suggests the reaction mechanisms do not involve a covalent phosphoenzyme. Inhibition by 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole and N-ethylmaleimide and protection by ATP suggests tyrosine and cysteine residues are in the catalytic site of the tonoplast ATPase. The mitochondrial ATPase was 100 times more sensitive to N,N'-dicyclohexyl-carbodiimide inhibition than the tonoplast H+-ATPase. These results suggest the tonoplast and the mitochondrial H+-ATPases share common steps in their catalytic and vectorial reaction mechanisms, yet sufficient differences exist to indicate they are two distinct ATPases.

The proton-translocating ATPase that is responsible both for urinary and vacuolar acidification was partially purified from bovine kidney medulla microsomes. ATPase activity was purified to a maximum specific activity of 1.7 mumol.min-1.mg prot-1 and was inhibited completely by N-ethylmaleimide. The relative molecular weight (Mr) of the intact protein estimated by high-pressure size-exclusion liquid chromatography was 586,000. Nondenaturing gels of the isolated enzyme revealed two protein bands at MrS of 551,000 and 523,000. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis of the isolated H+-ATPase revealed component subunits at MrS of 70,000, 56,000, 45,000, 42,000, 38,000, 31,000, 15,000, 14,000, and 12,000. The properties of the isolated H+-ATPase and of microsomal ATP-dependent proton transport correlated closely. The isolated H+-ATPase was reconstituted into phospholipid liposomes and demonstrated N-ethylmaleimide-inhibitable ATP-dependent potential generation, consistent with electrogenic proton transport. In overall structure, the enzyme appears to be a new type of H+-ATPase with several features of the F0F1 class of ion-translocating ATPases but is immunologically and structurally different from the mitochondrial F1-ATPase.

To determine whether kidney membrane fractions contain an extramitochondrial anion-stimulated ATPase, we compared the pharmacological and kinetic properties of HCO3-ATPase activities in mitochondrial and microsomal fractions prepared from rabbit kidney cortex and outer medulla. The results indicated that this activity differed markedly in each type of fraction. Microsomal HCO3-ATPase was less sensitive than mitochondrial ATPase to azide, oligomycin, DCCD and thiocyanate, but was more sensitive to filipin and displayed different dependency towards ATP, magnesium and pH. Microsomal ATPase activity was stimulated by sulfite much more strongly than by bicarbonate, whereas mitochondrial activity was stimulated by both these anions to a similar extent. These results demonstrate the presence of an extramitochondrial HCO3-ATPase in kidney membrane fractions. HCO3-ATPase was also measured in single microdissected segments of the rabbit nephron using a radiochemical microassay previously developed for tubular Na, K-ATPase activity. An enzyme with the pharmacological and kinetic properties of the microsomal enzyme was detected in both proximal tubule, distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct, but the thick ascending limb was devoid of any detectable activity. Long-term DOCA administration markedly increased HCO3-ATPase activity in the distal convoluted and collecting tubule. The insensitivity of microsomal HCO3-ATPase to vanadate indicates that it belongs to the F0-F1 class of ATPases, and might therefore be involved in proton transport. This hypothesis is also supported by the localization of tubular HCO3-ATPase activity at the sites of urinary acidification.

The effects of fenoctimine, an inhibitor of gastric acid secretion, on the microsomal (H+ + K+)-ATPase were studied. In the micromolar concentration range, fenoctimine inhibited hydrolysis of ATP and p-nitrophenyl phosphate by the (H+ + K+)-ATPase. Inhibition was reversible and noncompetitive with substrate. The apparent Ki was dependent on the concentration of membranes, being increased by added liposomes or high microsomal membrane concentrations. Over the concentration range that (H+ + K+)-ATPase was inhibited, fenoctimine increased the turbidity of microsomal suspensions. The effects of fenoctimine were not specific for the gastric (H+ + K+)-ATPase, since the hydrolytic activities of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and mitochondrial ATPase were also inhibited by the drug. These results suggest that inhibition of hydrolysis may not be the direct result of an interaction between the (H+ + K+)-ATPase and fenoctimine but the secondary effect of a fenoctimine-induced perturbation of the microsomal membrane.

Studies were carried out with intact mitochondria isolated from human astrocytoma, oat cell carcinoma and melanoma which were propagated in athymic mice. These human tumor mitochondria were capable of coupled oxidative phosphorylation. They also showed significant uncoupler-stimulated ATPase if defatted bovine serum albumin was included in the assay media. However, the uncoupler response curves were different and the magnitude of the ATPase activity was lower than could be obtained with mitochondria of a normal tissue, such as liver. Some of these characteristics were also exhibited by mitochondria from several animal hepatomas and Ehrlich ascites tumor. In the three tumors studied, mitochondria from oat cell carcinoma were more labile, whereas higher respiratory control ratios and greater stimulation of ATPase by uncouplers were obtained with melanoma mitochondria. The mitochondrial ATPase was not the major cellular ATPase in any of the three tumors. This was indicated by a low inhibition of the ATPase activity of tumor cell homogenates by oligomycin. A very large fraction of the cellular ATPase activities was recovered in the microsomal fractions.

The microsomal fraction (13 000 -60 000 x g pellet) from pea stem shows a very high divalent cation-dependent, diethylstilbestrol- and orthovanadate-inhibited ATPase and ADPase activity. No detectable inorganic or organic pyrophosphatase and adenylate kinase and almost negligible activities of mitochondrial ATPase and of other phosphomonoesterases are present in this preparation. The ATPase and ADPase activities of microsomes have been solubilized with NaClO4 and then purified by gel filtration and DEAE-Sephadex fractionation to a final specific activity of 71.5 and 102 mumol Pi/min per mg for ATP and ADP, respectively. The purified enzyme hydrolyzes triphosphonucleosides (ATP, CTP, GTP, UTP) and diphosphonucleosides (ADP and to a lesser extent CDP, UDP, IDP) and presents pH optima of 6 for ATP and 7 for ADP. It requires Mg2+, Mn2+ or Ca2+ and is inhibited by diethylstilbestrol and orthovanadate. The conclusion that the ATPase and ADPase activities belong to the same enzyme is based on the following results: (1) parallel effects of diethylstilbestrol and orthovanadate on both ATPase and ADPase; (2) parallel behavior of ATPase and ADPase throughout all the purification steps; (3) non-additivity of ATPase and ADPase and (4) lack of dilution of beta-32P formed from [beta-32P]-ATP by unlabelled ADP.

We have isolated an outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) fraction from baker's yeast. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, that possesses porin activity and contains a major polypeptide of 29,000 daltons. By analogy to similar data for an OMM fraction from rat liver and mung bean [Zalman, L. S., Nikaido, N. & Kagawa, Y. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 1771-1774], the 29,000-dalton polypeptide of the isolated yeast OMM fraction has been tentatively identified as porin. Evidence to substantiate this identification was provided by the finding that both the porin activity and the 29,000-dalton polypeptide were entirely resistant when the OMM fraction was exposed to trypsin digestion, with the 29,000-dalton polypeptide being virtually the only polypeptide in the OMM fraction to be unaffected by trypsin digestion. There was no protection when trypsin digestion was carried out in the presence of detergent. Using monospecific antibodies, we have shown that yeast porin is apparently not synthesized as a larger precursor in a cell-free translation system. In vitro-synthesized porin could not be integrated into dog pancreas microsomal vesicles or into an isolated OMM fraction from yeast, either co- or posttranslationally. In vitro-synthesized porin, however, could be integrated posttranslationally into whole isolated mitochondria. This membrane specificity suggests that integration does not proceed by unassisted partitioning. The integration of porin into whole mitochondria occurred with fidelity by the criterion of its resistance to trypsin. Moreover, integration was not inhibited in the presence of the protonophore carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl-hydrazone whereas translocation into the mitochondrial matrix of the in vitro-synthesized gamma subunit of F1-ATPase was inhibited.
