This paper describes work which begins to define the molecular organization in the region of the membrane that comprises the functional domain of the Na:K pump. The membrane-bound phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) and Na, K-ATPase appear to be directly linked via a compartmentalized form of ATP. Evidence for the membrane pool of ATP is based on the labeling characteristics of the phosphoproteins by [gamma-(32)P]ATP of ghosts incubated under various conditions. Preincubation of ghosts in the presence of ATP at 37 degrees C, but not at 0 degrees C, completely obscures the formation of the Na-phosphoprotein in ghosts washed and subsequently incubated in the presence of [gamma-(32)P]ATP. In contrast to the Na component, the Mg component of phosphorylation is only slightly altered by preincubation with ATP. ATPase activity measured as (32)P(i) liberated during the subsequent incubation at 0 degrees C, reflects completely the differential effects of preincubation with ATP on (32)P incorporation into phosphoprotein. ATP placed within the pool by preincubation can be removed by operating the Na, K-ATPase or the PGK reaction in the reverse direction by use of exogenous substrates. Alternatively, the membrane pool of ATP can be formed also from exogenous substrates by running the PGK reaction in the forward direction. These results, while providing direct support for a membrane compartment of ATP, also indicate the location of this compartment in relation to the PGK and the Na, K-ATPase. In addition, these results also imply that the Mg and Na components are different enzymatic entities since substrate ATP can be derived from separate sources.

1H nuclear magnetic resonance techniques were used to study the binding of uridine 5'-triphosphate to the Ca2+-transport ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles from rabbit skeletal muscle. The nuclear spin relaxation times determined for the bound nucleotide are used to characterize the rotational motion of the ATPase to which the nucleotide is bound. The results, assuming an anisotropic model for the motion of the ATPase in the membrane, place a low upper limit on the rotational correlation time of the ATPase. This indicates that the motion of the ATPase in the membrane is quite rapid when compared, for example, with the motion found for other membrane-bound proteins such as rhodopsin.

A small-colony forming variant of Escherichia coli with a mutation in the ncf gene was analysed. The alternation of the protein composition in the cytoplasmic membrane and the interaction with K and E group colicins indicated a membrane mutation. The effect of this mutation on some membrane-bound processes, the activity of Mg2+-activated ATPase, the growth on different carbon sources and the active transport of amino acids, is described. This mutation does not exert any effect on the electron transport system.

1) Sodium azide and diphenyl phosphorazidate (DPPA) inhibited purified membrane-bound ATPase [coupling factor of oxidative phosphorylation; EC 3.6.1.3] of Escherichia coli non-competitively with Ki values of 39 and 51 micrometer, respectively. 2) Sodium azide and DPPA inhibited the activity of ATPase bound to the membrane as effectively as that of the purified enzyme. 3) The effects of sodium azide on succinate-dependent ATP synthesis, Pi-ATP exchange, and ATP hydrolysis reactions by the membrane vesicles were compared under the same conditions. At concentrations below 1.0 mM, sodium azide inhibited ATP hydrolysis, but Pi-ATP exchange and ATP synthesis were almost unaffected. At 10 mM sodium azide, both Pi-ATP exchange and ATP synthesis reactions were completely inhibited, probably because at this concentration, sodium azide acted as a proton-conducting uncoupler.

The metabolic stabilities of bound adenine nucleotides in a membrane-bound ATPase (EF1) [EC 3.6.1.3] of Escherichia coli were studied by estimating their rates of turnover in vivo. Two-thirds of the bound ATP prelabelled with 32Pi in EF1 molecules was retained after 3 h in a chase medium. The bound ADP was chased rapidly with a half time of decrease of less than 1 h, the rate similar to that of cytoplasmic free nucleotides. These results suggest that bound ATP in the EF1 is not a direct intermediate in oxidative phosphorylation.

Certain new nonionogenic detergents which are hydroxy-polyethoxy-derivatives of dodecane show in vitro bacteriostatic action as related to gram-positive microorganisms. In this respect they are not inferior to chloride cetylpyridinium or sodium dodecyl sulphate. They are similar to chloride cetylpyridinium in their ability to disrupt the osmotic barrier of protoplasts and to inhibit NAD-H-oxidase of membrane fractions of Micrococcus lysodeikticus. Unlike chloride cetylpyridinium and sodium dodecyl sulphate, nonionogenic detergents do not inhibit membrane-bound ATPase of these bacteria.

The effects of the inhibitors dicyclohexyl-carbodiimide (DCCD), bathophenanthroline and tertiary octylcatechol, on some enzyme activities in membranes from strains of Escherichia coli carrying mutations in the uncB or uncC genes have been studied. Membranes prepared from uncC mutants retain a normal DCCD-sensitive Mg2+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase (Mg-ATPase) activity whereas in uncB mutants this enzyme activity is insensitive to DCCD. The membrane-bound Mg-ATPase activity from the uncC mutant strain, as compared with that from the normal strain, is only partially sensitive to the inhibitors bathophenanthroline or tertiary-octylcatechol. Both of these inhibitors stimulate the membrane-bound Mg-ATPase from uncB mutant strains. A DCCD-insensitive Mg-ATPase activity is found in the cytoplasmic fraction following cell disruption of either the uncB or the uncC mutants. The lipophilic chelators bathophenanthroline and tertiary-octylcatechol stimulate the activity of the 'soluble' Mg-ATPase in the uncB mutant but partially inhibit the activity in the uncC mutant. The NADH oxidase activities in membranes from both mutant and normal strains are strongly inhibited by tertiary-octylcatechol and bathophenanthroline but not by DCCD.

The enzymatic properties of membrane-bound Na+ + K+-ATPase from gills of killifish acclimated to fresh water, to 16% sea water, or to 30% sea water appear to be identical, indicating that the same enzyme may function to absorb Na+ in low salinities and excrete Na+ at the gills in high salinities. Ammonium ion is an effective substitute for K+: in the ATPase reaction itself, in blocking phosphorylation of the ATPase protein, and in inhibiting the binding of ouabain to the enzyme. The specific activities of the Na+ + K+-ATPase in the three different salinities are consistent with the expected Na+ pumping rates: higher in fresh water and 30% sea water than in 16% sea water. Within one-half hour after transfer of killifish from one salinity to another, gill Na+ + K+-ATPase activities reach equilibrium levels. The rapid increase in Na+ + K+-ATPase activity in gill microsomes of fish acclimating from fresh water to 30% sea water is accompanied by a slow decrease in the number of binding sites for ouabain, supporting the idea that acclimation to short-term salinity changes may involve modifications in the catalytic rate rather than the number of Na+ + K+-ATPase molecules.

1. Preincubation of MgATP submitochondrial particles with EDTA or Tris.HCl liberated a measurable amount of ATPase inhibitor that could be rapidly purified using only trichloroacetic acid precipitation and heat treatment. 2. In spite of the emergence of high ATPase activity, a considerable amount of ATPase inhibitor was left in the particles. Comparative analysis of other submitochondrial preparations indicated that only AS-particles were effectively depleted. 3. The high ATPase activity of inhibitor-deficient particles, was labile at low temperature provided that the exposure to cold was done in the presence of MgATP. Other nucleotides could not substitute for ATP. Glycerol inhibited and salts enhanced the cold inactivation of membrane-bound F1-ATPase. Isolation of F1-ATPase from cold-inactivated particles yielded a soluble preparation of correspondingly lower activity. 4. It is concluded that together with the increase of ATPase activity, the ATP-dependent cold lability of membrane-bound F1-ATPase and the dislocation of ATPase inhibitor at non operative sites reveal the extent of ATPase complex disorganization.

The effects of the ionophore lysocellin on the movements of Ca2+, Mg2+ and alkali metal cations and its effect on energy utilization by rat liver mitochondria have been investigated. At a concentration of 0.05 micrometer, lysocellin induced dissociation of membrane-bound calcium, and an apparent steady state was established across the inner membrane between energy-linked calcium accumulation and the ionophore-induced depletion of calcium. No detectable efflux of intramitochondrial Ca2+ and Mg2+ was induced by 0.05 micrometer lysocellin, but the uptake of exogenously added calcium was significantly inhibited. The ionophore augmented Mg2+ release from mitochondria induced by Ca2+ addition and also caused rapid release of K+ from mitochondria preloaded with K+ by valinomycin or monazomycin. High levels (0.5 approximately 10 micrometer of lysocellin caused massive depletion of endogenous Ca2+, Mg2+ and K+ from mitochondria, resulting in disruption of mitochondrial functions including release of state 4 respiration, stimulation of ATPase and inhibition of ADP- or DNP-stimulated respiration. Structure-activity studies with chemically modified compounds of lysocellin indicated the important role of terminal carboxylic acid and C21 hydroxyl function in the activity of the ionophore, and there is a good correlation between the effect of lysocellin on mitochondrial cation movements and its ability to complex with cations determined in an organic solvent-water two-phase partition system.
