Chromaffin granules isolated from bovine adrenal gland were incubated with (3)H-labelled nucleotides and [(14)C]noradrenaline to study the uptake of these substances. [(3)H]ATP, [(3)H]ADP and [(3)H]AMP are taken up by these organelles by the same temperature-dependent mechanism. The apparent K(m) for ATP and ADP is 1.4mm, and for AMP it is 2.9mm. The uptake of ATP has a flat pH optimum, whereas the catecholamine uptake increases with more alkaline pH. Atractyloside and carboxyatractyloside are competitive and specific inhibitors of nucleotide uptake, whereas reserpine inhibits only that for catecholamines. Mg(2+) ions activate uptake of both catecholamine and nucleotides, whereas EDTA and N-ethylmaleimide inhibit these processes. Nucleotide and catecholamine uptakes are inhibited by uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation and by two ATP analogues. NH(4) (+) ions and nigericin in the presence of KCl inhibit only catecholamine uptake. It is concluded that nucleotide uptake, as proposed previously for catecholamine uptake, depends on an electrochemical proton gradient produced by a proton-translocating adenosine triphosphatase localized in the membrane of chromaffin granules. Furthermore, as suggested by the effect of NH(4) (+) and nigericin, catecholamine uptake apparently depends on the chemical part of this gradient, whereas the results for nucleotide uptake are consistent with its dependence on the electrical component.

The membrane-bound adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity of Acholeplasma laidlawii B differs in many respects from the common (Mg2+, Ca2+)-ATPase activity of higher bacteria, most notably in that it is specifically activated by Mg2+ and strongly and specifically stimulated by Na+ (or Li+). Various inhibitors diminish the ATPase activity with a concentration dependence which suggests that a single enzyme species is responsible for all of the observed ATP hydrolytic activity (both basal and Na+ stimulated). The Km for ATP is influenced by temperature but not by membrane lipid fatty acid composition. Vmax is influenced by both of these factors, showing a break in Arrhenius plots which falls below the lipid phase transition midpoint but well above the lower boundary when a phase transition occurs within the temperature range studied. The apparent energy of activation for Vmax is strongly influenced by lipid fatty acid composition both above and below the break. When whole cells of A. laidlawii B are incubated in KCl or NaCl buffers, they rapidly swell and lyse if deprived of an energy source or treated with ATPase inhibitors at concentrations which significantly inhibit enzyme activity in isolated membranes, whereas in sucrose or MgSO4 buffers of equal osmolarity, the cells are stable under these conditions. These results suggest that the membrane ATPase of A. laidlawii B is intimately associated with the membrane lipids and that it functions as a monovalent cation pump which regulates intracellular osmolarity as the (Na+, K+)-ATPase does in eucaryotes.

Sodium glycocholate was shown to remove a Ca2+-activated adenosine triphosphatase from the external surface of the rat mast cell without causing lysis. Sensitized mast cells pretreated with sodium glycocholate showed a decrease in histamine-releasing capacity when triggered with antigen, Synacthen and ATP. Release induced by calcium ionophore A23187 was unaffected.

A myosin was isolated from the clonal rat glial cell strain C-6 and compared with rat skeletal muscle myosin. After cell extracts were subjected to gel filtration chromatography in the presence of KI and magnesium pyrophosphate the C-6 myosin was rapidly purified by a procedure similar to that used for skeletal muscle myosin. The C-6 myosin resembles muscle myosin both physically and enzymatically. It contains heavy chains of 200,000 daltons and two classes of light chains of 17,000 and 19,000 daltons in approximately equal molar ratios. This myosin forms bipolar thick filaments in 0.1 M KCl and binds reversibly to skeletal muscle F-actin, the binding being inhibited by MgATP. Skeletal muscle F-actin stimulates the C-6 myosin adenosine triphosphatase 2- to 3-fold in the presence of KCl and Mg2+. The action activation of muscle myosin ATPase at low ionic strength is 10-fold greater than that of C-6 myosin. Ca2+ and EDTA stimulated the ATPase activities of both enzymes. When assayed in the presence of 0.6 M KCl and 1 mM EDTA the skeletal muscle myocin ATPase demonstrates substrate saturation while the C-6 myosin enzyme activity is stimulated by ATP concentrations above 2.5 mM.

Sodium and potassium ion-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase ((Na+ + K+)-ATPase) was partially purified from canine brain gray matter and reconstituted into vesicles of phosphatidylcholine. A proportion of the enzyme molecules was reconstituted into sealed vesicles with the ATP-hydrolyzing site facing the outside of the vesicles. ATP was added to the outside of the vesicles after they had equilibrated with radioactive tracer, and the resulting active transport of Na+ and K+ was followed. Unlike the purified kidney renal medulla enzyme used in an earlier study, the brain enzyme transports both Na+ and K+(Rb+). Vesicles were made in solutions with different proportions of NaCl and KCl, and over the range studied, an average of 1.8 Rb+ ions were transported for every 3 Na+ ions. When ATP is depleted, the transported ions diffuse back to their equilibrium level in the vesicles.

The chemical properties of two highly purified preparations of (sodium + potassium)-activated adenosine triphosphatase (NaK ATPase) and their subunits have been compared. One preparation is derived from the rectal gland of the spiny dogfish shark, Squalus acanthias and the other preparation is derived from the electric organ of the electric eel, Electrophorus electricus. Ouabain binding and phosphorylation from [gamma-32-P]ATP for both enzymes ranged from 4000 to 4300 pmol per mg of protein. This gives a stoichiometry for ouabain binding and phosphorylation of 1:1 for both enzymes. The molar ratios of catalytic subunit to glycoprotein was 2:1 for both enzymes, suggesting a minimum molecular weight of 250, 000, which agrees with the molecular weight obtained by radiation inactivation. Assuming that only one of the two catalytic subunits is phosphorylated and binds ouabain per (sodium + potassium)-activated adenosine triphosphatase molecule the data on phosphorylation and ouabain binding also give a molecular weight of 250, 000. The data on phosphorylatiion, ouabain binding, subunit composition, and molecular weight based on radiaion inactivation are thus all internally consistent. A technique has been developed for isolation of pure catalytic subunit and glycoprotein in good yields by preparative sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A variety of chemical studies have been carried out with the purified subunits. The amino acid composition of the catalytic subunit was different from that of the glycoprotein, but the amino acid composition of each of the two subunits was essentially the same for both species. However, the NH2-terminal amino acid for the catalytic subunit was alanine for the rectal gland enzyme and serine for the electric organ enzyme, suggesting some differencesin amino acid sequences for the two species. The NH2-terminal amino acid for the glycoprotein was alanine for the two species. The glycoproteins from both species contained the same carbohydrates but in quite differing amounts. The carbohydrates were glucosamine, sialic acid, fucose, galactose, mannose, and glucose. The release of all the sialic acid from the electric organ enzyme and the release of 40% of the sialic acid from the rectal gland enzyme did not affect (sodium + potassium)-activated adenosine triphosphatase activity. Both enzymes contained the following phospholipids, which accounted for 98 to 100% of the total phospholipid phosphorus: sphingomyelin, lecithin, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylinositol. With the exception of phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylinositol. With the exception of phosphatidylserine, the amount of any phospholipid per mg of enzyme as well as the total phospholipid content were quite different for the two enzymes.

The specificity of the histochemical localization of the calcium activated adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) at pH 7.4 was studied using a calcium-citro-phosphate technique. The latter involves the splitting of ATP by ATPase producing phosphate ions which then react with calcium and citrate to form an insoluble reaction product. This reaction product was detected by both light and electron microscopy. Light microscopic examination showed a darkly stained continuous reticular pattern of reaction product which surrounded individual myofibrils. This reticular pattern of reaction product was distinctly dissimilar to that found when the histochemical reactions for mitochondrial or myofibrillar ATPase were performed. Ultrastructural investigations demonstrated the presence of discrete foci of electron dense reaction product in close association with the membranes of the SR in striated muscle fibres. Only occasional flecks were seen in the vicinity of mitochondria or myofilaments. The possibility is considered that the reticular pattern of staining achieved by the calcium-citro-phosphate technique may reflect the distribution of the "extra ATPase" of the SR, an enzyme implicated in the process of calcium uptake and muscle relaxation.

Electron microscopic cytochemical localization of Mg++-activated adenosine triphosphatase (Mg++-ATPase) and 5-nucleotidase (AMPase) was investigated in bile canaliculus-rich and bile duct-containing fractions isolated from rat liver. Comparative cyochemical studies between prefixed and non-prefixed fractions revealed that the activity of both enzymes could be detected in the fractions under appropriate experimental conditions. However, the cytochemical activity of AMPase was much more sensitive to glutaraldehyde than that of Mg++-ATPase. Mg++-ATPase and AMPase reaction products were localized primarily on bile canalicular microvilli, that is, along the outer (luminal) surface of canalicular plasma membranes, but they were never observed on bile ductal microvilli. AMPase was also detectable on lateral hepatic plasma membranes. Mg++-ATPase demonstrated by the cytochemical technique described is a reliable enzyme marker for isolated bile canalicular membranes. At high magnification, Mg++-ATPase reaction product was also observed on the microfilaments surrounding isolated bile canaliculi. The possibility that the reaction product on the pericanalicular microfilaments may result from the hydrolysis of ATP byan actomyosin ATPase-like enzyme associated with these filaments is briefly discussed.

The phosphorylation and dephosphorylation steps of the (Na-++K-+)-dependent ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) (EC 3.6.1.3) reaction have been compared in 'normal', lipid-depleted and 'restored' membrane ATPase preparations. Partial lipid depletion was achieved by a single extraction with Lubrol W, and 'restoration' by adding pure phosphatidylserine. Gamma-32-P-labelled ATP was used for phosphorylation. The main findings were as follows. (1) Partial lipid depletion decreased but did not prevent Na-+-dependent phosphorylation, although it virtually abolished both Na-+-dependent and (Na-++K-+)-dependent ATPase activities. (2) 'Restoration' with phosphatidylserine produced an increment in phosphorylation that was the same in the presence and absence of added Na-+. (3) K-+ decreased the extent of Na-+-dependent phosphorylation of the depleted enzyme without producing a corresponding release of Pi. (4) K-+ rapidly decreased the extent of phosphorylation of the 'restored' enzyme to near-background value, with a concomitant release of Pi. (5) Na-+-dependent ATP hydrolysis was not restored. (6) The turnover of the 'restored' enzyme seemed to be higher than that of the 'normal' enzyme. The reaction sequence is discussed in relation to these results and the fact that the depleted enzyme retained about 50% of K-+-dependent phosphatase activity.

Sodium and potassium adenosine triphosphatase ((Na + K)-ATPase) consists of two polypeptides, a large molecular weight polypeptide (MW 84,000 to 102,000) and a sialoglycoprotein (MW 35,000 to 57,000). Trypsin treatment of this complex selectively cleaves the large polypeptide into two fragments with molecular weights of 62,000 and 43,000. Simultaneously with the appearance of these fragments, (Na + K)-APTase activity is destroyed. Trypsin treatment of phosphorylated enzyme shows that he 43,000 molecular weight fragment is phosphorylated. If (Na + K)-ATPase is digested with trypsin in the presence of ATP, a 90,000 molecular weight fragment is produced. Disappearance of the large polypeptide, and loss of ATPase activity parallel the production of this fragment. Addition of strophanthidin to this mixture significantly lowers the amount of the 90,000 molecular weight fragment produced. Experiments on (Na + K)-ATPase of the red cell membrane suggest that trypsin is cleaving (Na + K)-ATPase at the interior surface of the plasma membrane.
