1. Isolated outer membranes from rat spleen mitochondria can be stored in liquid N(2) for several weeks without significant loss of ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) activity. 2. The ATPase reaction has a broad pH optimum centering on neutral pH, with little significant activity above pH9.0 or below pH5.5. 3. A sigmoidal response of the ATPase activity to temperature is observed between 0 and 55 degrees C, with complete inactivation at 60 degrees C. The Arrhenius plot shows that the activation energy above the transition temperature (22 degrees C) (E(a)=144kJ/mol) is one-third of that calculated for below the transition temperature (E'(a)=408kJ/mol). 4. The outer-membrane ATPase (K(m) for MgATP=50mum) is inactive unless Mg(2+) is added, whereas the inner-membrane ATPase (K(m) for ATP=11mum) is active without added Mg(2+) unless the mitochondria have been depleted of all endogenous Mg(2+) (by using ionophore A23187). 5. The substrate for the outer-membrane ATPase is a bivalent metal ion-nucleoside triphosphate complex in which Mg(2+) (K(m)=50mum) can be replaced effectively by Ca(2+) (K(m)=6.7mum) or Mn(2+), and ATP by ITP. Cu(2+), Co(2+), Sr(2+), Ba(2+), Ni(2+), Cd(2+) and Zn(2+) support very little ATP hydrolysis. 6. Univalent metal ions (Na(+), K(+), Rb(+), Cs(+) and NH(4) (+), but not Li(+)) stimulate the MgATPase activity (<10%) at low concentrations (50mm), but, except for K(+), are slightly inhibitory (20-30%) at higher concentrations (500mm). 7. The Mg(2+)-stimulated ATPase activity is significantly inhibited by Cu(2+) (K(i)=90mum), Ni(2+) (K(i)=510mum), Zn(2+) (K(i)=680mum) and Co(2+) (K(i)=1020mum), but not by Mg(2+), Ca(2+), Ba(2+) or Sr(2+). 8. The outer-membrane ATPase is insensitive to the inhibitors oligomycin, NN'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, NaN(3), ouabain and thiol-specific reagents. A significant inhibition is observed at high concentrations of AgNO(3) (0.5mm) and NaF (10mm). 9. The activity towards MgATP is competitively inhibited by the product MgADP (K(i)=0.7mm) but not by the second product P(i) or by 5'-AMP.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis catalyzed by the plasma membrane (Na+,K+)ATPase isolated from several sources was inhibited by Mg+, provided that K+ and ATP were also present. Phosphorylation of the adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) by ATP and by inorganic phosphate was also inhibited, as was p-nitrophenyl phosphatase activity. (Ethylenedinitrilo)tetraacetic acid (EDTA) and catecholamines protected from and reversed the inhibition of ATP hydrolysis by Mg2+, K+ and ATP. EDTA was protected by chelation of Mg2+ but catecholamines acted by some other mechanism. The specificities of various nucleotides as inhibitors (in conjunction with Mg2+ and K+) and as substrates for the (Na+, K+) ATPase were strikingly different. ATP, ADP, beta,gamma-CH2-ATP and alpha,beta-CH2-ADP were active as inhibitors, whereas inosine, cytidine, uridine, and guanosine triphosphates (ITP, CTP, UTP, and GTP) and adenosine monophosphate (AMP) were not. On the other hand, ATP and CTP were substrates and beta,gamma-NH-ATP was a competitive inhibitor of ATP hydrolysis, but not an inhibitor in conjunction with Mg2+ and K+. The Ca2+-ATPase from sarcoplasmic reticulum and F1, the Mg2+-ATPase from the inner mitochondrial membrane, were also inhibited by Mg2+. Catecholamines reversed inhibition of the Ca2+-ATPase, but not that of F1.

The aurovertin-F1 complex was used to monitor fluorescence changes of the mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase during multi- and uni-site ATP hydrolysis. It is known that the fluorescence intensity of the complex is partially quenched by addition of ATP or Mg2+ and enhanced by ADP (Chang, T., and Penefsky, H. S. (1973) J. Biol. Chem. 248, 2746-2754). In the present study low concentrations of ATP (0.03 mM) induced a marked fluorescence quenching which was followed by a fast fluorescence recovery. This recovery could be prevented by EDTA or an ATP regenerating system. The rate of ATP hydrolysis by the aurovertin-F1 complex and the reversal of the ATP-induced fluorescence quenching were determined in these various conditions. ITP hydrolysis also resulted in fluorescence quenching that was followed by a recovery of fluorescence intensity. Under conditions for single site catalysis, fluorescence quenching was observed upon the addition of ATP. This strongly indicates that fluorescence changes in the aurovertin-F1 complex are due to the binding and hydrolysis of ATP at a catalytic site. Therefore the resulting ADP molecule bound at this catalytic site possibly induces the fluorescence recovery observed.

Previous organ culture investigations into the pathogenesis of renal cyst formation have demonstrated that glucocorticoid-induced proximal tubular cyst formation is associated with increases in renal sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (Na-K-ATPase) activity. To explore the relationship between cyst production and transport enzyme induction, we examined the effects of the potent inducer of Na-K-ATPase activity, L-3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3), on renal tubular morphologic and enzymatic development in murine metanephric organ culture. The addition of T3 (2 X 10(-8) mol/L) to completely characterized, serum-free growth medium produced striking proximal tubular cystic abnormalities. Frank cyst development was preceded by ultrastructural alterations consisting of basolateral intercellular spreading, which increased with progressive tubular dilation. Ultrastructural analysis demonstrated no abnormalities of tubular cyst wall basal laminae, and immunohistologic staining with affinity-purified antibodies to the basal lamina glycoproteins fibronectin, laminin, and entactin, revealed no differences between cystic and control tissue. With use of an enzyme-linked kinetic microassay, T3-induced cystic organ culture explants (CY) showed significant increases in Na-K-ATPase when compared with controls from 72 to 120 hours of organ culture incubation. The initial differences in CY Na-K-ATPase occurred contemporaneously with the earliest ultrastructural evidence of cyst formation, and subsequent increases paralleled progressive tubular cyst formation. Tubular cyst formation in CY could be largely prevented by daily incubation of explants with ouabain, 0.2 mmol/L (final concentration) for 120 minutes without deleterious effects on overall metanephric development. We conclude that T3 induces proximal tubular cyst formation in metanephric organ culture, and that T3-induced increases in Na-K-ATPase have a primary role in the pathogenesis of tubular cyst formation in this model system.

1. At low ionic strength, when turbidity and viscosity measurements indicated dissociation of acto-heavy-meromyosin, its adenosine triphosphatase was strongly activated by Mg(2+) and Ca(2+). 2. The characteristics of the adenosine triphosphatase of dissociated acto-heavy-meromyosin in the presence of Mg(2+) were similar to those reported for myofibrils and actomyosin. 3. In the presence of Ca(2+) the adenosine-triphosphatase activity was much less sensitive to ionic strength than was the case with Mg(2+). 4. At low ionic strength Mg(2+) was more effective in maintaining the dissociation of acto-heavy-meromyosin in the presence of ATP than was Ca(2+). This difference was not apparent when ATP was replaced by ITP. 5. Although the recovery of viscosity was complete on reassociation of acto-heavy-meromyosin the turbidity did not return to the original value. 6. The general implications of Mg(2+) activation of acto-heavy-meromyosin when classical interpretation indicates dissociation of the complex are discussed.

1. Homogenates of neural lobes of bovine pituitary glands were fractionated by differential and density-gradient ultracentrifugation and the distribution of adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity was studied. It was shown that all the activity was membrane-bound. 2. On the basis of ionic requirements the ATPase activity was grouped into three categories: (a) Mg(2+)-dependent, (b) Ca(2+)-dependent and (c) Mg(2+)+Na(+)+K(+)-dependent (ouabain-sensitive) ATPases. The activity in the absence of bivalent cations was negligible. The ratio between the activities of the three ATPases varied between the different subcellular fractions. 3. Preincubation of the subcellular fractions with deoxycholate increased the activity of the Mg(2+)+Na(+)+K(+)-dependent enzyme, whereas the Mg(2+)- and Ca(2+)-activated ATPases were either unaffected or slightly inhibited. Triton X-100 solubilized the Mg(2+)- and Ca(2+)-ATPases; however, the activity of the Mg(2+)+Na(+)+K(+)-ATPase was abolished by the concentration of Triton X-100 used. 4. All the subfractions displayed unspecific nucleotide triphosphatase activity towards GTP, ITP and UTP. These substrates inhibited the hydrolysis of ATP by all three ATPases. ADP also inhibited the ATPases. 5. Polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of extracts containing the Mg(2+)- and Ca(2+)-dependent ATPase activity solubilized by Triton X-100 revealed the presence of two enzymes; one activated by either Mg(2+) or Ca(2+) and the other activated only by Ca(2+). 6. In sucrose density gradients the distribution of vasopressin was different from that of all three types of ATPases. It is therefore suggested that the neurosecretory granules do not possess ATPase activity.

1. The effects of Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) on the enzymic activity of myosin were studied with myosin preparations treated by the ion-exchange resin Chelex-100. A reaction mixture containing 0.05m-potassium chloride was chosen in which the effects of univalent ions such as K(+), Na(+) and Cl(-) do not change significantly with small variations in their concentrations. 2. The relationship between the rate of hydrolysis of ATP or ITP and the concentration of Ca(2+) suggests that a relatively weak binding of Ca(2+) either to myosin or to the substrate nucleotide is responsible for the activation of the enzymic activity. According to the experiments with an ultrafiltration technique, the binding of Ca(2+) to myosin proceeds in at least two steps, the first occurring at one site on every 500000 atomic mass units of myosin with an apparent association constant, K(app.), 1.3x10(6)m(-1), and the second seeming to be so weak that its binding parameters cannot be determined by the method used. The first type of Ca(2+) binding is not observable with N-ethylmaleimide-modified myosin, yet this modified myosin shows activation by Ca(2+) of its adenosine triphosphatase and inosine triphosphatase. 3. The inhibition by Mg(2+) can be related to a binding reaction of Mg(2+) with myosin having K(app.) approximately 10(6)m(-1). Mg(2+) replaces the Ca(2+) bound tightly to myosin. The K(app.) for Mg(2+)-myosin binding calculated by assuming a competition between Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) for the same site is 2.1x10(5)-3.0x10(5)m(-1). When myosin is modified with a thiol reagent (p-mercuribenzoate) at a certain ratio to myosin, the inhibition by Mg(2+) becomes unobservable. 4. The behaviour of the hydrolytic activity of myosin on ATP or ITP in the presence of both Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) is consistent with the explanation that the inhibition by Mg(2+) is due to the tight binding of Mg(2+) to myosin, whereas the activation by Ca(2+) is caused either by a weak binding of Ca(2+) to myosin or by CaATP(2-) or by both.

A Mg-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activated by submicromolar free Ca2+ was identified in detergent-dispersed rat liver plasma membranes after fractionation by concanavalin A-Ultrogel chromatography. Further resolution by DE-52 chromatography resulted in the separation of an activator from the enzyme. The activator, although sensitive to trypsin hydrolysis, was distinct from calmodulin for it was degraded by boiling for 2 min, and its action was not sensitive to trifluoperazine; in addition, calmodulin at concentrations ranging from 0.25 ng-25 micrograms/assay had no effect on enzyme activity. Ca2+ activation followed a cooperative mechanism (nH = 1.4), half-maximal activation occurring at 13 +/- 5 nM free Ca2+. ATP, ITP, GTP, CTP, UPT, and ADP displayed similar affinities for the enzyme; K0.5 for ATP was 21+/- 9 microM. However, the highest hydrolysis rate (20 mumol of Pi/mg of protein/10 min) was observed at 0.25 mM ATP. For all the substrates tested kinetic studies indicated that two interacting catalytic sites were involved. Half-maximal activity of the enzyme required less than 12 microM total Mg2+. This low requirement for Mg2+ of the high affinity (Ca2+-Mg2+)ATPase was probably the major kinetic difference between this activity and the nonspecific (Ca2+ or Mg2+)ATPase. In fact, definition of new assay conditions, i.e. a low ATP concentration (0.25 mM) and the absence of added Mg2+, allowed us to reveal the (Ca2+-Mg2+)ATPase activity in native rat liver plasma membranes. This enzyme belongs to the class of plasma membrane (Ca2+-Mg2+)ATPases dependent on submicromolar free Ca2+ probably responsible for extrusion of intracellular Ca2+.

Rat liver plasma membranes contained two types of calcium-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (Ca2+-ATPase, EC 3.6.1.3) activities. One of them had a high affinity for free calcium (Ca2+) with an apparent half maximal saturation constant (K0.5) of 0.2 microM (high affinity Ca2+-ATPase), and the other exhibited a low affinity with a K0.5 of 50 microM for Ca2+ (low affinity Ca2+-ATPase). The high affinity Ca2+-ATPase showed: independence from free magnesium (Mg2+), a wide range of optimum pH (7.2-7.5), inhibition by a large amount of calmodulin, and substrate preference for ATP, GTP and ITP. On the other hand, the low affinity Ca2+-ATPase showed: stimulation by Mg2+ as well as Ca2+, an optimum pH of 8, mild stimulation by calmodulin, reversible inhibition by calmodulin-antagonists, inhibition by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, and substrate preference for UTP and GTP. Both Ca2+-ATPases were insensitive to Na+, K+, ouabain, NaN3 and KCN. Orthovanadate, a potent inhibitor for many ATPases, had no effect on both ATPases over a wide range of concentrations (7 nM-1.7 mM). The Ca2+-ATPases could be separated by gel filtration on a Sepharose 4B column after solubilization with Triton X-100. The high affinity Ca2+-ATPase showed a Stokes radius of about 49 A and a sedimentation coefficient of about 7.0 S with a molecular weight of 1.4 X 10(5). The frictional ratio was 1.4. The results suggest that the high affinity Ca2+-ATPase may be a possible candidate for an ATPase with Ca2+ pumping activity, and that the high affinity enzyme is distinct from the low affinity Ca2+-ATPase in the rat liver plasma membranes.

The catalytic and allosteric sites of proton translocating adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) were studied by measuring the binding of nucleotides to the ATPase, and its alpha and beta subunits purified from thermophilic bacterium PS3, with a circular dichroic spectrometer. In contrast to mesophilic ATPases, this thermophilic enzmye contained no tightly bound nucleotides, and its subunits were stable after their purification. These properties were advantageous for analyzing both catalytic and allosteric sites. The former site showed rapid and loose binding, but the latter slow (t 1/2 = 1 h, for ADP) and tight binding. When a nucleotide was bound, the beta subunits showed a negative ellipticity at 275 nm corresponding to a tyrosyl residue, while the alpha subunits showed an ellipticity change corresponding to the absorption curve of the bound nucleotide. This difference enabled us to distinguish the binding sites in ATPase. At a low concentration, ADP selectively bound to alpha subunits in the ATPase, while at a high concentration, it bound to both subunits. This finding suggests that the tight binding sites are located in the alpha subunits. Although ADP and ATP bound to both the purified alpha and beta subunits, CTP did not bind to beta but only to alpha subunits, and ITP bound to beta but hardly to alpha. These nucleotide specificities also supported the idea that the catalytic sites are located in the beta subunits and the allosteric sites are located in the alpha subunits.
