A mixed membrane preparation obtained from turtle bladder epithelial cells contains (Na+ + K+)-ATPase, adenylate cyclase and protein kinase, which interact with ouabain, norepinephrine and cyclic AMP, respectively. When such a preparation is obtained from bladders which had been preexposed to serosal fluids containing the tritiated form of 4,4'-diisothiocyano-2,2'-disulfonic stilbene, the subsequently isolated membrane proteins are enriched in tritium as well as in the afore-mentioned enzymes, none of which is inhibited. Free-flow electrophoresis separates the mixed membrane preparation into two distinguishable groups: one, construed as apical membranes, is enriched in norepinephrine-sensitive adenylate cyclase and cyclic AMP-sensitive protein kinase; the other, construed as basal-lateral membranes, is enriched in ouabain-sensitive ATPase and 4,4'-diisothiocyano-2,2'-disulfonic stilbene-binding proteins. The physiological counterparts of these enzymatically defined membrane markers are the mucosal sidedness of the transport effects of norepinephrine and cyclic AMP derivatives and the serosal sidedness of the transport effects of ouabain and disulfonic stilbenes in the intact turtle bladder. The discreteness and ion selectivity of each membrane-bound, transport-related element are discussed in relation to the corresponding characteristics of each transport process in vivo; the possibility of regulation of anion transport by adenylate cyclase-protein kinase system is also discussed.

The role and pharmacological regulation of the ATP-adenylate-cyclase--cAMP system were studied in the mucosa of the gastric fundus, and in the forestomach, of pylorus-ligated rats to elucidate the development of gastric hypersecretion and ulceration. (1) cAMP content of the tissue of the fundus mucosa and of the forestomach decreased before the significant increase of gastric H+ output and ulcer development; (2) the gastric H+ outputs depended on the breakdown of ATP in the fundus mucosa; (3) the gastric H+ secretion was inhibited in a dose-dependent way by theophylline, epinephrine and cimetidine; (4) the inhibition of gastric H+ secretion by epinephrine , theophylline or epinephrine plus theophylline associated with a significant increase in the mucosal cAMP of the gastric fundus (5) the significant increase in gastric H+ secretion due to histamine associated with a significant decrease in fundic mucosal cAMP; (6) the gastric H+ secretion could be inhibited dose-dependently by ADP, AMP, cyclic 2', 3'-AMP and cAMP; (7) the inhibition of gastric H+ secretion by cimetidine developed without and with histamine application in pylorus-ligated rats; (8) the histamine on gastric H+ secretion could not be stimulated further with theophylline (9) no significant correlation was found between the mucosal cAMP level and the gastric H+ secretion and/or between the decrease of mucosal cAMP content and gastric H+ secretion. It has been concluded that in pylorus-ligated rats (1) the gastric H+ secretion is an ATP-dependent process; (2) the cAMP system has an inhibitory effect as regards the development of gastric hypersecretion and of ulceration; (3) histamine and cimetidine show no close correlation with the cAMP system; (4) an extracellular and intracellular feed-back mechanism system exists between th ATP-membrane-bound ATPase-ADP and the ATP--adenylate cyclase--cAMP systems in the background of the development of gastric hypersecretion and ulceration.

Histamine and epinephrine stimulate the activity of guinea pig heart adenylate cyclase [ATP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing) EC 4.6.1.1], in part, by decreasing the requirement for Mg2+ as an activator. This effect may represent an increase in affinity for Mg2+ and/or a decrease in sensitivity of the enzyme towards inhibition by free ATP. Both of these inotropic hormones also increase maximum velocity. Pretreatment of the membrane-bound enzyme with EDTA, to remove available divalent cations, almost eliminates persistent stimulation by guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate [Gpp(NH)p]. Addition of Mg2+ to the preincubation medium restores the capacity of Gpp(NH)p to acutely activate the enzyme. These results indicate that Mg2+ interacts with the nucleotide (GTP) regulatory site. Persistent stimulation of the enzyme by either Gpp(NH)p or fluoride ion also involves a decrease in the requirement for Mg2+ and an increase in maximum velocity.

The interaction of cardiac adenylate cyclase [ATP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing); EC 4.6.1.1] with a variety of nucleotide affinity resins was systematically investigated. None of these resins effectively bound the native, detergent-solubilized enzyme. However, after hydrophobic resolution on an uncharged resin consisting of long-chain alkyl groups linked to agarose via ether bonds, 40% of the adenylate cyclase activity biospecifically adsorbed to an ATP affinity resin. Gel filtration without detergent after hydrophobic chromatography demonstrated that the enzyme eluted in the identical position as the native enzyme chromatographed in the presence of detergent. This preparation almost completely biospecifically adsorbed to the same ATP-resin and was not eluted with 5 mM cyclic AMP, pyrophosphate, or GTP. If the GTP-washed immobilized enzyme was subsequently desorbed with ATP, then expected Gpp(NH)p (5'-guanylyliminodiphosphonate) sensitivity persisted. A preliminary purification scheme that resulted in an approximate 5000-fold increase in specific activity is presented. These observations indicate that a membrane-bound enzyme may appear to be intrinsically hydrophobic only by virtue of aggregation with other hydrophobic constituents and that prior separation of hydrophobic chromatography may permit such proteins to be fractionated subsequently by methods conventionally applied to hydrophilic proteins.

Addition of 0.1% casein hydrolysate to a minimal growth medium decreased membrane-bound transhydrogenase activity in Escherichia coli by about 80%. Of the amino acids added individually to the growth medium, only leucine and, to a lesser extent, methionine and alanine were effective, alpha-Ketoisocaproate- and leucine-containing peptides repressed the activity, and leucine also repressed activity in adenyl cyclase-deficient and relaxed strains. Derepression of transhydrogenase followed the removal of leucine from the growth medium and was sensitive to rifampin and chloramphenicol. A phosphoglucoisomerase-deficient strain that was forced to use the hexose monophosphate shunt exclusively had normal levels of transhydrogenase, which was repressed by leucine. Transhydrogenase activity doubled in mutants lacking either of the shunt dehydrogenases but was still repressed by leucine. In strains constitutive for the leucine biosynthetic operon, transhydrogenase was repressed by leucine but in strains livR and lst R, with leucine transport resistant to leucine repression, transhydrogenase was not repressed by leucine. These data suggest that transhydrogenase may have a function in the transport of branched-chain amino acids. In a hisT strain (which has altered leucyl-tRNA), transhydrogeanse was at a repressed level without the addition of leucine, suggesting that leucyl-tRNA may be involved in the regulation.

The Michaelis constant of membrane-bound adenylate cyclase increased from 1.1 to 1.8 mM between 7 and 38 degrees C (delta H = 13 kJ/mol). Over this temperature range, the maximum velocity increased 10-fold, and the Arrhenius plot was nearly linear, with an average delta H* of 51 kJ/mol. The temperature-dependence of the reaction rate at 2 mM-ATP was examined in more detail: for Lubrol-dispersed enzyme, Arrhenius plots were nearly linear with average delta H* values of 45 and 68 kJ/mol, respectively, for untreated and gel-filtered enzymes; for membrane-bound enzyme, delta H changed from 40 kJ/mol above about 21 degrees C to 62 kJ/mol below 21 degrees C, but this behaviour does not necessarily indicate an abrupt, lipid-induced, transition in the reaction mechanism.

At extremely low concentrations, in the picomole and the nanomole range, bradykinin produces contraction and relaxation of smooth muscle in the gastrointestinal and the urogenital tract. At the target organ, bradykinin interacts with discriminator proteins of the plasma membranes and triggers, via changes in certain membrane functions, its biological response:--The binding to the discriminator makes specific conformative and constitutional demands on the nonapeptide. The binding results from an angular conformation which exists in the solution. The complete sequence is responsible for this specific conformation. Consequently, the biological activity of partial sequences is low. The conformational analysis of analogues used in studies on the mechanism of action showed but slight differences from bradykinin. The interaction of these analogues with the discriminator protein is disturbed to a varying extent by modifications at positions 1, 5, 8 and 9 in the side chains. The affinity for the discriminator is affected, dependently on the respective configuration, by substitution on the beta-C atom in the two phenylalanine residues.--Bradykinin is not only bound to, but also degraded at, the plasma membranes of the rat uterus and duodenum. The bradykinin-degrading enzyme has been characterized as a kininase II with the aid of various inhibitors. The conformative and configurative prerequisites decisive for enzymatic degradation are others than those decisive for binding to the discriminator.--The changes in the activities of the membrane-bound adenylate and guanylate cyclases (produced by the bradykinin-discriminator complex) that take place at the rat duodenum and uterus in the presence of extracellular calcium ions contrast with each other: At the duodenum, the ratio between these two cyclic nucleotides is changed in favour of adenylate cyclase; and at the uterus, in favour of guanylate cyclase; Substances which increase or decrease the cAMP level may also potentiate or inhibit the relaxation of the duodenum. These bradykinin-induced changes in enzyme activity must be considered in connection with other effectors, e.g. prostaglandins and calcium ions.--The calcium-ion-dependence of the effect of bradykinin on the guinea-pig ileum and the rat uterus indicates the importance of these ions as additional second messengers. Bradykinin stimulates the influx of calcium ions into the ileum; it is ineffective if no extracellular calcium ions into the ileum; it is ineffective if no extracellular calcium ions are available. It seems that intracellular and membranal calcium is mobilized in the uterus, which is evidenced by results from experiments with EGTA on the isolated organ and by the release of calcium from plasma membranes after application of bradykinin. It is assumed that the observed changes in membrane functions are induced by the peptide-discriminator complex simultaneously and not in the form of a causal chain.

Both prostaglandin E1 and nicotinic acid markedly reduce 3',5'-cyclic AMP-accumulation and lipolysis in adipose tissue. These effects were assumed to be mediated via inhibition of the fat cell adenylate cyclase. Therefore, the effects of prostaglandin E1 and nicotinic acid on the human fat cell adenylate cyclase were compared. Prostaglandin E1 caused a dose-dependent stimulation of the enzyme, whereas nicotinic acid was found to act as an unspecific inhibitor depressing all expressions of enzyme activity including prostaglandin E1-stimulated rates of 3',5'-cyclic AMP formation. It is concluded that the common metabolic effects of nicotinic acid and prostaglandin E1 are unlikely to be mediated via the membrane-bound adenylate cyclase in human adipose tissue.

Adenylate cyclase of human fat cell ghosts shows a biphasic response towards prostaglandin E2 with inhibition occurring at nanomolar concentrations of the hormone and stimulation at concentrations beyond 10(-6) mol/liter. The expression of the inhibitory effect is critically dependent on GTP. Under the conditions employed (1 mmol/liter ATP, 5 mmol/liter Mg2+, 30 degrees C) the inhibitory component of prostaglandin E2 became apparent at GTP concentrations exceeding 10(-6) mol/liter. The prostaglandin E2-induced inhibition displayed characteristic features of prostaglandin action in intact fat cells with respect to the effective concentrations and degree of inhibition. It is concluded that prostaglandin E2 is capable of inducing antagonistic effects upon lipolysis via interaction with the membrane-bound adenylate cyclase.

A "random-hit" matrix model is proposed to account for the dynamic and steady state relationship between occupation of bovine renal medullary membrane receptors by [Lys8]vasopressin (LVP) and neurohypophyseal hormones (NHH) and the associated activation of membrane-bound adenylate cyclase. The model was developed by systematic introduction of specific rules concerning receptor coupling into a general structural model which consists of two square matrices of identical size, one composed of homogeneous R ("receptor") units, the second of homogeneous C ("cyclase") units. R units are either occupied (RO) or unoccupied (RU); C units are either active (CA) or inactive (CI). Hormone molecules are envisioned to "collide" with R units randomly; collision with RU leads to "binding", and occupation is maintained for a characteristic mean occupancy time, TO. In this structure, each R unit has an "interaction field" which consists of the "twin" unit in the "C" matrix, and the 4 nearest neighbor C units surrounding the twin. Occupation of an R unit leads to activation of all CI units in the interaction field of that R; CA units in the interaction field are refractory. Thus binding at a given R may "recruit" a variable number of inactive neighboring C units (5, 4, 3, 2, 1, or 0). The model requires that there be individual coupling delays between the moment of binding at a given R and subsequent activation of CI units (mean coupling delay (Td) approximately 10% To). Activation of C units persists as long as the "parent" R is occupied and is maintained for an additional short time interval (Tp) after RO reverts to RU, corresponding to hormone dissociation from receptor. The model accounts for the following previously demonstrated relations between LVP occupation of receptors and adenylate cyclase activation in bovine renal medullary membranes: 1) the shape of the nonlinear steady state relation between normalized (percentage maximal) receptor occupation (O) and cyclase activation (A), uniformly observed in different membrane preparations: 2) variable hormone concentration-dependent trajectories of approach to the final steady state A:O value (A:Oss) which may be either monophasic or biphasic; 3) the loss of intrinsic adenylate cyclase activity observed in bovine membranes for a series of NHH analogs with progressively diminishing affinity for receptors. The model represents an explicit theory of coupling where a successive series of temporal events are quantitatively related to each other and privide major constraints to any interpretation of the molecular organization of receptors and adenylate cyclase units in membranes. The model excludes a number of mechanistic proposals and suggests a new hypothesis for membrane coupling with features which may be generally applicable to other hormone-sensitive adenylate cyclase systems.
