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.

The specific activity and the content of ATPase in mitochondria of rat liver and Zajdela hepatoma were compared. The specific activity of ATPase in sonicated mitochondria and in mitochondrial membrane fraction of rat liver was almost two times higher than the specific activity in the corresponding fraction of Zajdela hepatoma. Accordingly, the autovertin binding capacity of rat liver mitochondrial membrane fraction as well as the yield of F1-ATPase from this fraction were about two times higher than those of the mitochondrial membrane fraction of Zajdela hepatoma. The results show that mitochondria of Zajdela Hapatoma possess about half amount of ATPase present in rat liver mitochondria.

Two types of plasma membrane were purified from canine distal renal medulla by the techniques of differential and zonal density-gradient centrifugation followed by free-flow electrophoresis. One group of plasma membranes was identified as basal-laterally derived based on a 30-fold enrichment of Na-K-ATPase, a 20-fold enrichment of vasopressin-stimulated adenylate cyclase, and a 33-fold enrichment of [3H]vasopressin binding sites. The second type of plasma membrane was free of these markers, but had a cholesterol and phospholipid composition similar to them. Alkaline phosphatase also had a similar distribution in the two fractions. This lighter membrane fraction contained a membrane-bound cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase as well as substrate for this kinase. In addition there was a 26-fold enrichment of specific activity of an anion (SO32-)-activated ATPase which was insensitive to mitochondrial ATPase inhibitor protein, in contrast to the mitochondrial fraction of the tissue. Based on the relative preponderance of collecting duct tissue in the distal medulla and the yield of membrane protein, these membranes are tentatively identified as containing apical membranes of the collecting duct.

To study ESR absorption of mitochondrial ATPase a special flow system was developed allowing to maintain surviving conditions for mitochondria. It has been shown that ESR free radical signal of mitochondria observed at room temperature (g-factor 2.00 and halfwidth of about 15 Gs) depends on their metabolic state. An increase of free radical content during mitochondrial energization can be associated with operation of ATPsynthetase. It is supposed that free radicals take part in the reaction of ADP phosphorylation and that a molecule of ADP itself bound in the active centre of ATPase can become a free radical to facilitate the process of inorganic phosphate incorporation.

1. Evidence is presented which indicates that inactivation of the mitochondrial ATPase from bovine heart by the reagent 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan results from modification of one tyrosine residue per enzyme molecule. Activity can be restored by a variety of sulphydryl reagents. 2. In sodium dodecyl sulphate, the nitrogenzofurazan group on tyrosine is transfered to newly exposed sulphydryl groups on the enzyme. 3. The rate of transfer of the nitrobenzofurazan moiety from theenzyme to sulphydryl compounds is compared with that for transfer from the model compound N-acetyl-tyrosine-0(7-nitrobenzo-furazan) ethyl ester, the synthesis and properties of which are also described. 4. The ligands ATP and ADP exert a protective effect on the rate of reaction between the mitochondrial ATPase and 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan. The variation in rate of this reaction with change in pH has also been examined and a pKa of 9.5 estimated for the tyrosine residue. 5. The modification does not prevent substrate binding as judged by changes in the fluorescence of aurovertin, an antibiotic with specific affinity for mitochondiral ATPases. 6. When the ATPase activity of submitochondrial particles is inhibited by 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzo-furazan, there is a parallel decrease in the extent of the energy-linked fluorescence enhancement of 1-anilino-naphthalene-8-sulphonate induced by ATP hydrolysis. Both ATPase activity and the fluorescence enhancement are restored by sluphydryl reagents.
