1. Some effects of sodium salicylate upon anaerobic glycolysis have been studied in normal human erythrocytes incubated for up to 6 h at 37 degrees C in autologous sera. 2. Both glucose consumption and lactate production were stimulated by concentrations of salicylate up to 60 mmol/l but at the highest concentration used (90 mmol/l) an initial stimulus was followed by inhibition of glycolysis. 3. Losses occurred of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP), adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP) and adenosine 5'-phosphate(AMP)at higher concentrations of salicylate and there was a concomitant increase of inorganic phosphate. 4. Other phosphate esters underwent concentration changes at higher concentrations of salicylate that reflected inadequate concentrations of ATP for glycolysis. 5. The rates of sodium efflux from, and potassium influx into, erythrocytes were unaffected by the presence of salicylate at concentrations sufficient to stimulate glycolysis.

Extracts of fasted rat diaphragms, previously treated with or without insulin were assayed for glycogen synthase, protein kinase and cyclic [3H]-AMP binding. Treatment with insulin produced an elevation in the % of glycogen synthase I and a concurrent decrease in cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity and cyclic [3H]-AMP binding. Analysis of extracts by disc gel electrophoresis demonstrated the inhibition of cyclic [3H]-AMP binding to involve the Type I protein kinase holoenzyme. Inhibition of protein kinase activity was most apparent in the presence of 0.2 micrometer cyclic AMP, with enzymatic activity of the insulin-treated extracts typically 60--65% of control. Higher assay concentrations diminished the difference between control and insulin-treated extracts and concentrations greater than 20 micrometer abolished it. The inhibition of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity after insulin was a transient and labile phenomenon. The effect was independent of ATP concentration in the assay, but was sensitive to the pH of tissue extraction, requiring a pH of 7.0 to 8.4 to be observed. Insulin-mediated inhibition of protein kinase activity was reversed upon preincubation of extracts at 0--2 degrees. Relatively concentrated homogenates (less than 4 microliter buffer/mg tissue) yielded extracts which exhibited little or no inhibition of protein kinase activity compared to extracts prepared from more dilute (6--10 microliter/mg) homogenates. A model for the inhibition of the cyclic-AMP dependent protein kinase by an insulin-generated inhibitor which becomes directly associated with the Type 1 holoenzyme is proposed.

HTC cell variants chosen for their lack of tyrosine aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.5) (TAT) induction by glucocorticoids were tested for interrelated effects on other glucocorticoid responses: TAT induction by dibutyryl cyclic AMP (dBcAMP) +/- dexamethasone, glutamine synthetase (GS) induction, cyclic nucleotide phosphodieterase (PDE) suppression, inhibition of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid (AIB) uptake, inhibition of plasminogen activator (PA), and induction of mouse mammary tumor virus (MTV). Loss of TAT induction by steroid was accompanied by loss of TAT induction by dBcAMP and of PDE suppression by steroid. In addition, subclones of MTV-infected cells were examined for the effect of the virus on glutamine synthetase (GS) and TAT induction. The virus had no effect on their induction in wild-type cells and no effect on GS induction in the variants. One MTV-infected subclone from a TAT variant, however, showed significant return of TAT induction.

Using gel filtration chromatography, we find a single peak of deoxythymidine phosphorylating activity in Chlamydomonas reinhardti. This activity has characteristics of a thymidine kinase, in that (1) it will utilize ATP (or dATP) or CTP (or dCTP) as phosphoryl donor, but not AMP or phenyl phosphate, and (2) it is inhibited by dTTP (and less so by dTDP, dUTP, and dUDP) but is unaffected by 3'-5' cyclic AMP. Partially purified chlamydomonas thymidine kinase has a pH optimum near 8.5, and a molecular weight of 80,000 to 85,000 daltons. Kinetic studies indicate a ping-pong mechanism with a Km for thymidine of 1.5 x 10(-7) moles per liter. 5-Bromo- and 5-fluorodeoxyuridine, and to a lesser degree deoxyuridine, are competitive inhibitors, but significant phosphorylation of these nucleotides could not be demonstrated in vitro by thymidine kinase. While thymidine is phosphorylated to dTMP by crude Chlamydomonas extracts, greater than 80% of the product formed by the partially purified enzyme is dTTP. Further, the gel filtration elution position of the single deoxythymidylate kinase activity present in cell extracts coincides with that of thymidine kinase. These results suggest that a multifunctional enzyme, rather than three separate phosphorylating activities, may be responsible for dTTP formation.

Histochemical observations were made of the activities of nucleosidephosphatases splitting ATP, ADP, IDP, and AMP and exopeptidases splitting l-alanine, l-leucine and l-glycyl-proline in the spleen sinuses of man, mouse, rat, hamster, and rabbit. Of the exopeptidases, only glycylprolyl-naphthylamidase could be proved histochemically, and that only in man and rat. Nucleosidephosphatases showed only traces of activity except in the rabbit where there was highly active AMP-ase, the others being moderately active.

Populations of normal anterior pituitary cells enriched in thyrotrophs or mammotrophs prepared by velocity sedimentation were used to investigate the effect of modulators of TSH and prolactin secretion on cyclic AMP accumulation. In both thyrotroph-enriched and mammotroph-enriched fractions, IBMX increased cyclic AMP accumulation. In the presence of IBMX, TRH invoked an increase in cyclic AMP suggesting that TRH modulates cyclic AMP accumulation in both of these cell types from normal pituitary glands. In the mammotroph-rich fraction, dopamine inhibited the increase in cyclic AMP induced by TRH. In contrast however, in the thyrotroph-enriched fraction dopamine lowered neither cyclic AMP concentration nor TSH secretion. Thus the inhibiting effect of dopamine on cyclic AMP appears to be specific for prolactin-secreting cells.

Thyroid hormones regulate lipid metabolism by affecting lipogenesis as well as lipolysis. The present paper discusses the way thyroidectomy induced an enhancement in lipogenesis in rat fat cells. The doubling in the conversion of glucose to CO2 and fatty acids seen after thyroidectomy was found to be due to a modification in the actual pathway of glucose metabolism: there was a preferential stimulation of the conversion of glucose to CO2 by the pentose cycle (utilisation of [1-14C]glucose) while the production of fatty acids and glyceride-glycerol proceeded, respectively, much more, or only slightly more, via the pathway of [6-14C]glucose metabolism. Studies employing the phosphodiesterase inhibitor MIX, or the cyclic AMP analogue, DBcAMP showed that the lipogenic process depends on cyclic AMP. As the stimulatory effect of thyroidectomy was not abolished, however, lipogenesis must be under the independent control of both cyclic AMP and absence of thyroid hormones. Insulin, a further mediator of lipogenesis was found to further enhance the already preexisting high conversion of glucose to CO2 in fat cells from thyroidectomized rats. It is concluded that at least three factors modify lipogenesis: thyroidectomy, cyclic AMP and insulin; each achieving its effect in an independent manner.

Effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH) upon cyclic AMP and calcium efflux in isolated renal cortical tubules from hamsters were investigated. PTH caused a rapid rise in cyclic AMP levels, temporally preceding an increase in calcium efflux. Increases in both cyclic AMP levels and calcium efflux were noted over an identical PTH concentration range 0.007--0.7 U/ml). Other peptide hormones tested which had no effect upon cyclic AMP levels did not enhance efflux of calcium. The phosphodiesterase inhibitor methyl isobutylxanthine (MIX) was utilized in other studies to potentiate the cyclic AMP response, and produce a range of cyclic AMP concentrations in response to PTH. In these experiments a range of calcium efflux responses was noted which closely paralleled changes in cyclic AMP. Direct addition of cyclic AMP or dibutyryl cyclic AMP to isolated renal tubules caused increased efflux of calcium, while addition of 5'-AMP did not. These results indicate a role for cyclic AMP as a mediator of PTH-induced calcium efflux in this system and suggest that cyclic AMP may mediate the action of this hormone in enhancing renal conservation of calcium in vivo.

Antibodies against purine nucleotides were obtained from rabbits immunized with conjugates of bovine serum albumine with AMP or GMP. The antibodies purified by affinity chromatography on nucleoside monophosphate-human serum albumine-Sepharose columns inhibited RNA synthesis on native T4 phage DNA by E. coli RNA polymerase. The inhibition of transcription was due mainly to inhibition of the initiation stage of RNA synthesis.

Previous studies by others have indicated that the synthesis of secreted enzymes is unusually sensitive to many translation inhibitors and resistant, for about 30 min, to rifampicin. We have studied the sensitivity of secreted (periplasmic) phosphatases to such inhibitors. Alkaline phosphatase synthesis is more sensitive than total protein synthesis to tetracyclin and spectinomycin, but not to sparsomycin, streptomycin, chloramphenicol, kasugamycin, blasticidin S or thiostrepton; it is slightly more resistant than total protein synthesis to the latter two antibiotics. Acid hexose-phosphatase was also preferentially sensitive to tetracyclin and spectinomycin and also to kasugamycin. beta-galactosidase was also included in the study, as an intracellular enzyme, and was found to be preferentially inhibited ("repressed"), sometimes transiently, by all eight translation inhibitors. This effect did not seem to be mediated through cyclic AMP or guanosine tetraphosphate; the "repression" was still evident in mutants with altered rho factor indicating that it may also not be related to artificial polarity. Synthesis of both periplasmic phosphatases was immediately inhibited by rifampicin. These results differ from those found in previous studies with other organisms and suggest a reappraisal of the usual interpretation of these phenomena.
