Fourteen oligomycin-resistant LM(TK-) clones were isolated following the mutagenesis of minicells. In the absence of oligomycin, the mutants grew with population doubling times similar to that of the wild type (1 day). In 3 or 5 microgram oligomycin/ml the doubling times of the mutants were 1.2-2.5 days. Both stable and unstable classes were represented among the oligomycin-resistant mutants. Mitochondrial ATPase activities of the mutants were 1.3-1130 times more resistant to oligomycin than the wild type. The mitochondrial ATPase of OLI 14 was found to be bound firmly to the mitochondrial membrane, showed no alteration in the pH optimum compared to wild-type, and exhibited increased resistance to DCCD and venturicidin. These results are consistent with the conclusion that oligomycin resistance in these mutants results from altered mitochondrial ATPase.

Short-chain ubiquinone (UQ-3) abolishes oligomycin sensitivity of ATPase in submitochondrial particles and the effect is reversed by long-chain ubiquinone (UQ-7). Ubiquinone-3 also abolishes DCCD sensitivity of ATPase in submitochondrial particles but the effect is not reversed by long-chain ubiquinones. These data suggest that ubiquinone interferes with energy transfer process by interaction with mitochondrial ATPase.

In conditions of glucose starvation, the maximum velocity of the mediated transport of nonmetabolized and metabolized amino acids, uridine, adenosine, and sucrose across the plasma membrane is stimulated by a factor of two by the addition of 1 mM adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate to Schizosaccharomyces pombe 972h- wild strain, to the glucose-super-repressed and derepressed mutants COB5 and COB6, and to Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain IL 216-IA. The mediated uptake of 2-D-deoxyglucose and the apparently nonmediated uptake of guanosine are not stimulated by the cyclic nucleotide. N6,O2'-Dibutyryl adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate is also efficient, whereas theophylline, guanosine 3':5'-monophosphate, 5'-AMP, ATP, and adenosine are ineffective. The cellular ATP content of glycerol-grown S. pombe COB5 is about 10 nmol per mg of protein and is not decreased by further incubation in the starvation medium. The addition of 100 mM glucose markedly enhances transport without any increase of the cellular ATP content. The addition of antimycin A or Dio-9 decreases markedly both cellular ATP content and transport. The addition of 2.5 mM glucose to antimycin A-containing medium restores both transport is not necessarily of mitochondrial origin. The uptake of 2-D-deoxyglucose is unaffected by the respiratory inhibitors. Stimulation of uptake by cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate occurs only in glucose-deprived cells. The addition of 10 mM glucose elicits the disappearance of the stimulation and prevents the 30% decrease of the cellular adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate content produced by glucose starvation. Adenosine 3':5'-'monophosphate does not enhance the steady state ATP level but requires cellular ATP produced either by endogenous respiration or, in the absence of respiration blocked by antimycin A, by further addition of 2.5 mM glucose. Stimulation of active uptake by adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate does not require protein synthesis because the addition of cycloheximide or anisomycin does not prevent the stimulation of L-leucine uptake. In the absence of respiration, Dio-9, and ATPase inhibitor, suppresses instantaneously the cellular ejection of protons as well as the uptake of uridine and amino acids. It abolishes also the adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate-stimulated transport. In the presence of antimycin A, specific mitochondrial ATPase inhibitors such as venruricidin A do not inhibit metabolite uptakes and their stimulation by adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate. These results suggest that in these conditions, the target of Dio-9 is not the mitochondrial ATPase but a plasma membrane proton-translocating function generating an electrochemical gradient required for active transport. That adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate enhances the Dio-9-sensitive proton extrusion supports the view that the cyclic nucleotide might modulate the plasma membrane ATPase.

1. A study is presented of the mitochondrial NADH content during controlled (state 4) and active (state 3) pyruvate oxidation by blowfly flight-muscle mitochondria. The results confirm and extend those of an earlier study (Hansford, 1972), which indicated an increased reduction in state 3. Nicotinamide nucleotide is normally highly oxidized during state 4; however, there can be substantial reduction in the presence of carnitine or high concentrations of proline, or on lengthy incubation in the presence of either of the systems used to generate intramitochondrial tricarboxylate-cycle intermediate. 2. Omission of phosphate leads to substantial reduction and this can be reversed by adding phosphate or acetate. 3. Estimations of NAD-+ and NADH in fly thoraces show a marked increase in NADH on flight, tending to corroborate the results of mitochondrial experiments and testifying to the importance of dehydrogenase activation in this tissue. 4. Determination of intramitochondrial adenine nucleotides reveals a total of 4-5 nmol/mg of protein, and an ADP content of less than 0.1 nmol/mg during state 4 oxidation of pyruvate and proline. ATP content is found to increase slowly during state 4 and this is attributed to the net phosphorylation of AMP. 5. The uncoupling agent carbonyl cyanide p=trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone leads to hydrolysis of some, but not all, of the mitochondrial ATP. Studies of mitochondrial ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase), measured by external pH change, show that it is inactive unless the mitochondria are allowed to respire for several minutes in state 4 in the presence of phosphate before the addition of carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone. It is suggested that phosphate uptake is essential for maximal ATPase activity. 6. Studies of the fluorescence of the fluorochrome 8-anilino-1-naphthalensulphonic acid suggest that the energy status of the mitochondrion is high during state 4-pyruvate oxidattion, and decrease slightly in state 3. The implications of these findings are discussed.

The effect of temperature on the activation energies of mitochondrial enzymes of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was examined. Non-linear Arrhenius plots with discontinuities in the temperature range 14-19 degrees C and 19-22 degrees C were observed for the respiratory enzymes and mitochondrial ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) respectively. A straight-line Arrhenius plot was observed for the matrix enzyme, malate dehydrogenase. The activation energies of the enzymes associated with succinate oxidation, namely, succinate oxidase, succinate dehydrogenase and succinate-cytochrome c oxidoreductase, were in the range 60-85kJ/mol above the transition temperature and 90-160kJ/mol below the transition temperature. In contrast, the corresponding enzymes associated with NADH oxidation showed significantly lower activation energies, 20-35kJ/mol above and 40-85kJ/mol below the transition temperature. The discontinuities in the Arrhenius plots were still observed after sonication, treatment with non-ionic detergents or freezing and thawing of the mitochondrial membranes. Discontinuities for cytochrome c oxidase activity were only observed in freshly isolated mitochondria, and no distinct breaks were observed after storage at -20 degrees C. Mitochondrial ATPase activity still showed discontinuities after sonication and freezing and thawing, but a linear plot was observed after treatment with non-ionic detergents. The results indicate that the various enzymes of the respiratory chain are located in a similar lipid macroenvironment within the mitochondrial membrane.

Closed protein-phospholipid particles (proteoliposomes), obtained by self-assembly method, are capable to generate and to maintain the membrane potential in the case if their protein complex is represented by: a) a complex of mitochondrial ATPase; b) a complex of cytochrome oxidase and cytochrome c and c) bacteriorhodopsin from Halobacterium halobium; and their phospholipid component is represented by phosphatidylethanolamine or by a mixture of mitochondrial phospholipids. Only cytochromoxidase and bacteriorhodopsin (but not ATPase) proteoliposomes with phosphatidylserine are active. Cardiolipin also is not active in experiments with ATPase. Phosphatidylcholine produces in all the cases proteoliposomes incapable of maintaining the membrane potential. It is concluded that the inefficiency of phosphatidylcholine in the formation of proteoliposomes, generating the membrane potential, is due to the impossibility of obtaining closed membrane forms with a high electric resistance. The inefficiency of phosphatidylserine and cardiolipine, in the case of ATPase protein component of proteoliposomes, may be due to a specific requirement of this generator of the membrane potential in phosphatidylethanolamine.

Three ATP-dependent reactions catalyzed by the inner membrane of rat liver mitochondria and the ATPase reaction catalyzed by purified mitochondrial ATPase (F1), were studied with respect to kinetic properties, substrates specificity, and sensitivity to bicarbonate. The ATP-dependent transhydrogenase reaction (reduction of NADP+ by NADH) catalyzed by inner membrane vesicles displays typical Michaelis-Menten kinetics in both Tris-Cl and Tris-bicarbonate buffers, with Km (ATP) values of 0.035 mM and 0.054 mM respectively. The Vmax of transhydrogenase activity (25 nmol min-1 mg-1) is the same in Tris-bicarbonate or Tris-Cl buffer. ITP and GTP readily substitute for ATP in the transhydrogenase reaction. The ATP-P1 exchange reaction catalyzed by inner membrane vesicles displays typical Michaelis-Menten kinetics in both Tris-Cl and Tris-bicarbonate buffers with Km (ATP) values of 1.0 mM and 1.4 mM respectively. The Vmax of exchange (200 nmol min-1 mg-1) is the same in either buffer. ITP and GTP do not effectively replace ATP in the exchange reaction.

Treatment of either beef heart or rat liver mitochondrial ATPase with the arginine reagent, 2,3-butanedione, resulted in enzyme inactivation. The reaction followed pseudo-first order kinetics until 90 to 95% of the enzyme had been inactivated, and prolonged incubation with butanedione resulted in complete inactivation. When the modification reaction was performed in the presence of ATP, the rate of inactivation was significantly decreased. The kinetics of inactivation indicates that the reaction of 1 molecule of reagent per active site of beef heart mitochondrial ATPase is necessary for inactivation. The loss of ATPase activity was also observed when submitochondrial particles were treated with butanedione. Studies with beef heart mitochondrial ATPase indicated that the inactivation was not due to enzyme dissociation into subunits. Kinetic studies with partially inactivated enzyme demonstrated that the Km values of ITP and of ATP in the presence of HCO3-were similar to the same constants for the control enzyme. When ATP was used as the substrate in the absence of anion activator, the partially inactivated enzyme still exhibited negative cooperativity. Inactivation was also observed when beef heart mitochondrial ATPase was treated with another arginine reagent, phenylglyoxal. The loss of ATPase activity was analyzed in terms of [14C]phenylglyoxal incorporation. From the present studies it is concluded that arginyl residues play an essential role in mitochondrial ATPase, probably at the hydrolytic site.

(1) The histochemical staining pattern of succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) does not show unequivocal differentiation between the type I red and type II red fibres in mammalian striated muscles. (2) Since high biochemical activity of beta-hydroxybutyric dehydrogenase (beta-HOBDH) occurs in mitochondria of the type I red fibres, the histochemical localization of this enzyme may show a pattern of staining reciprocal to that seen for myofibrillar ATPase. (3) It remains to be confirmed that the type I red fibres, which are possibly slow-twitch physiologically, possess the highest concentration of myoglobin. The histochemical correlation of myoglobin and myofibrillar ATPase in serial sections should be studied. (4) In order to achieve a more realistic picture, various glycolytic and glycogenolytic enzymes should be incubated according to the gelatin film technique, or semipermeable membrane technique or collagen polypeptide technique. A histochemical correlation of phosphorylase, LDH, PFK, alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, and myofibrillar ATPase in adjacent muscle sections may throw light on the histochemical characteristics of the different fibre-types. (5) The specific histochemical demonstration of AMPase is achieved following preincubation of tissue sections. (6) ADPase has been demonstrated by the calcium precipitation technique only (GUTH and YELLIN, 1971). A number of studies claim, however, that ADPase is not demonstrable histochemically in muscle fibres. (7) The presence of magnesium ions is a prerequisite for the adequate histochemical demonstration of mitochondrial ATPase. The latter is inhibited almost completely by 40 mM Ca++ (when Mg++ is not added) at both neutral and alkaline pH values. (8) The histochemical activity of SR-AT-Pase seen as continuous reticula but without punctuate and sub-sarcolemmal staining possibly represents the extra ATPase of SR. (9) On the basis of myofibrillar ATPase reaction, an inherent heterogeneity, between the type II red and type II white may be recognized. In addition, the above fibre-types possess their respective sub-populations. (10) Following diK+ EDTA preincubation, some type II red fibres show selective lability. These are the mitochondria-rich fibres. Thus in the total absence of both punctuate and subsarcolemmal staining, the presence of mitochondrial ATPase activity under the histochemical conditions for myofibrillar ATPase is unlikely. (11) The reaction pattern of CK/ATPase (coupled reaction) at pH 6.9 is distinctly intermyofibrillar and unlike SDH-pattern. This reticular reaction is associated mainly with the SR and hence the importance of transphosphorylation in this organelle for the Ca++ uptake and muscle relaxation. (12) The CK/ATPase reaction at pH8.0 has shown important histoenzymatic characteristics. At this pH value the type I red fibres and slow-twitch soleus show myofibrillar reaction pattern. This identical histochemical behaviour suggests that type I red fibres are possibly slow-contracting...

Anti-inflammatory mechanism of 2-(2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl) propionic acid (Flurbiprofen, FP-70) was studied by various analysis in comparison with other drugs. It was found in the test of rat edema induced by various phlogists that carrageenin and yeast-induced edemas were markedly inhibited by FP-70, whereas dextran, formalin, serotonin and bradykinin-induced edemas were scarcely inhibited by FP-70. The action of FP-70 was similar to that of soy bean trypsin inhibitor. However, FP-70 showed no effects on kinin synthetase and kininase. FP-70 showed a marked inhibition on prostaglandin synthesis. The inhibitory effect of FP-70 was 10.1, 96.5 and 2280.6 times as large as indomethacin, ibuprofen and acetylsalicylic acid, respectively. FP-70 did not inhibit the permeability of dye induced by prostaglandin E2 in the rat skin. FP-70 inhibited the acid phosphatase and beta-glucuronidase activities of isolated lysosome of rat liver and also suppressed the release of acid phosphatase from the lysosome. These effects were similar to those of indomethacin. On the other hand, FP-70 suppressed markedly the heat-induced hemolysis of dog erythrocytes. The effect was similar to that of indomethacin and was 10 times stronger than those of ibuprofen, ibufenac and phenylbutazone. Activation of rat liver mitochondrial ATPase by FP-70 at a concentration of 10 muM was 74.7%, while indomethacin showed 37.8% activation at the same concentration. FP-70 as well as ibuprofen and phenylbutazone uncoupled the oxidative phosphorylation in rat liver mitochondria. From the above and previously reported results, it is suggested that the potent anti-inflammatory action of FP-70 is the result of the following effects; inhibition on the protein and leucocyte migration, inhibition on the prostaglandin synthesis, stabilization of the cell membrane and activation of ATPase.
