1. Subcellular fractions obtained from epimastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi, disrupted by three different procedures, contained in addition to the already known Mg2+-activated adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase; E.C.3.6.1.4), a Ca2+-ATPase activity. 2. The Ca2+-ATPase (a) was activated by low concentrations of CaCl2 (apparent Ka, 80 microM); (b) had a Km for ATP of 0.6 mM (at 1 mM CaCl2, pH 8.0); (c) presented a broad pH curve (optimum 7.1-8.6); and (d) was insensitive to oligomycin concentrations which inhibited the Mg2+-ATPase present in the same preparations. 3. All attempts to find a (Na+-K+)-activated, ouabain-inhibited, ATPase have been unsuccessful, in spite of the fact that living epimastigoes of T. cruzi are able to concentrate K+ and exclude Na+ from the medium.

1. Grinding of epimastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi with glass powder in a mortar yielded a Mg2+-activated adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) preparation which was highly sensitive to oligomycin. 2. Chloroform treatment of the particles resulted in the solubilization of an ATPase which was (a) activated by MgCl2; (b) slightly inhibited by CaCl2; (c) activated by sulphite and bisulphite; (d) had an optimum pH of 7.6; and (e) had a Km for ATP of 2.1 mM (in the presence of 4 mM MgCl2). 3. The solubilized enzyme was insensitive to oligomycin and leucinostatin, which inhibited the membrane-bound ATPase, though inhibited by efrapeptin and quercetin. 4. The results indicate that the chloroform-extracted enzyme is a soluble F1-ATPase similar to those isolated from mammalian mitochondria.

The effects of the alkaline phosphatase inhibitors levamisole and R 8231 on p-nitro-phenylphosphatase, inorganic pyrophosphatase and adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activities in dentingenically active odontoblasts were studied. The p-nitrophenylphosphatase and inorganic pyrophosphatase activities were inhibited, while 40% of the ATP-splitting enzyme activity remained under the assay condition used. This finding, togeather with earlier studies, indicates that at least two different phosphatase are active at alkaline pH in hard tissue-forming cells; on nonspecific alkaline phosphatase and one specific ATPase. The ATPase activity is uninfluenced by ouabain and ruthenium red and is activated by Ca-2+ ions.

1. A study is presented of the mitochondrial NADH content during controlled (state 4) and active (state 3) pyruvate oxidation by blowfly flight-muscle mitochondria. The results confirm and extend those of an earlier study (Hansford, 1972), which indicated an increased reduction in state 3. Nicotinamide nucleotide is normally highly oxidized during state 4; however, there can be substantial reduction in the presence of carnitine or high concentrations of proline, or on lengthy incubation in the presence of either of the systems used to generate intramitochondrial tricarboxylate-cycle intermediate. 2. Omission of phosphate leads to substantial reduction and this can be reversed by adding phosphate or acetate. 3. Estimations of NAD-+ and NADH in fly thoraces show a marked increase in NADH on flight, tending to corroborate the results of mitochondrial experiments and testifying to the importance of dehydrogenase activation in this tissue. 4. Determination of intramitochondrial adenine nucleotides reveals a total of 4-5 nmol/mg of protein, and an ADP content of less than 0.1 nmol/mg during state 4 oxidation of pyruvate and proline. ATP content is found to increase slowly during state 4 and this is attributed to the net phosphorylation of AMP. 5. The uncoupling agent carbonyl cyanide p=trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone leads to hydrolysis of some, but not all, of the mitochondrial ATP. Studies of mitochondrial ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase), measured by external pH change, show that it is inactive unless the mitochondria are allowed to respire for several minutes in state 4 in the presence of phosphate before the addition of carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone. It is suggested that phosphate uptake is essential for maximal ATPase activity. 6. Studies of the fluorescence of the fluorochrome 8-anilino-1-naphthalensulphonic acid suggest that the energy status of the mitochondrion is high during state 4-pyruvate oxidattion, and decrease slightly in state 3. The implications of these findings are discussed.

From transient kinetic studies of the Mg2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase of myosin subfragment 1, prepared from rabbit skeletal muscle, a seven-step mechanism has been proposed. Features of this mechanism include two-step processes for ATP and ADP binding in which the binary complex isomerizes in addition to a rapid nucleotide association step. In the case of ATP a large negative standard free energy change is associated with the isomerization. An overall rate-limiting isomerization of the myosin-product complex prior to product release has been identified. Studies on the mechanism of cleavage of ATP bound to the active site indicate the process is readily reversible and can account for the observation that more than one oxygen of the product phosphate arises from water. This proposal has been substantiated by the finding that the oxygen atoms of the gamma-phosphoryl group of bound ATP also undergo extensive exchange with water.

A microsomal fraction rich in Na+, K+-ATPase (sodium-plus-potassium ion-dependent adenosine triphosphatase) and the corresponding K+-dependent p-nitrophenyl phosphatase from the rectal salt gland of the spiny dogfish was solubilized by treatment with deoxycholate at high ionic strength. On gel filtration through Sepharose 6B, the ATPase apoenzyme could be separated, in apparently soluble form, from the tissue-fraction phospholipids and was almost free of enzymic activity (2% of the p-nitrophenyl phosphatase activity and 0.2% of the ATPase activity being recovered). On mixing the apoenzyme with an activator consisting of cooked ox brain, a large proportion of the original enzymic activity was obtained. Specific activities of the re-activated enzyme were somewhat higher than in the material before gel filtration: values of 1300-1450 mumol and 250-290 mumol/h per mg of protein were obtained for the hydrolysis of ATP and of p-nitrophenyl phosphate respectively. The activity was inhibitible by ouabain.

1. The proton-translocating adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) of bovine heart mitochondria was highly purified by extraction of submitochondrial particles with cholate, fractionation with ammonium sulfate, and sucrose gradient centrifugation in the presence of methanol, deoxycholate, and lysolecithin. 2. The preparation had a very low content of phospholipids, respiratory components, and adenine nucleotide transporter. The ATPase activity (14 o 16 micromoles/min/mg at 30 degrees) was dependent on addition of phospholipids. The purified enzyme was reconstituted with phospholipids, coupling factor 1 (F1), and the oligomycin sensitivity-conferring protein (OSCP) yielding vesicles with highly active 32Pi-ATP exchange (up to 260 nanomoles/min/mg at 30 degrees), and a proton pump driven by ATP. Site III oxidative phosphorylation was reconstituted when purified cytochrome oxidase was included. 3. The 32Pi-ATP exchange of the reconstituted vesicles was sensitive to both rutamycin and dichylohexylcarbodiimide but the ATPase activity was sensitive to rutamycin and not to dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. 4. In sodium dodecyl sulfate-acrylamide gel scans of the complex, the subunits of F1, OSCP, and three other major bands with apparent molecular weights of 32,000, 23,000, and about 11,000 were noted. Three other minor bands with estimated molecular weights of 80,000, 70,000, and 52,000 were also detected. These bands apparently represent residual trace amounts of respiratory components. Quantitative assays of individual respiratory components revealed between 0 and 3% contamination. 5. We conclude that the rutamycin-sensitive ATPase complex functions as a reversible ATP-driven proton pump.

1. Incubation of human and rat hepatoma cells with insulin (1 mU/10(6) cells) decreases their content of adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate by more than half after 1 h and by about a quarter after 4 h. 2. The activities of the ATP-metabolising enzymes, adenylate kinase and Mg2+-adenosine triphosphatase are significantly increased by insulin within 1 h and after 4 h. Activity of succinate dehydrogenase and lactic dehydrogenase showed no change at either time interval. 3. Insulin markedly stimulated glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity within 1 h but by 4 h the increase was less apparent. Glutamate dehydrogenase activity by contrast was not increased by 1 h but was elevated at 4 h.

Changes in adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity of the peripheral blood leukocytes were investigated in patients with bronchial asthma. Estimation of the leukocyte Mg++- and Ca++- dependent ATPases was carried out according to Hadden's method, incubating ATP with the membrane fraction of the leukocyte. The leukocyte ATPase activity was significantly elevated among asthmatic patients compared with control subjects. This elevated ATPase was seen in all asthmatics irrespective of acute attacks or the drug treatment. There was no clear correlation between the activity of ATPase and the percentage of leukocytes, neutrophils and eosinophils. There was no relationship between ATPase activity and adenyl cyclase activity of the same leukocytes from asthmatic patients.

Fibre-type classification of human skeletal muscle into type I and type II fibres is mostly based on their slight or strong staining with the myosin adenosine triphosphatase reaction. In order to evaluate the reliability of this screening technique a combined histochemical and biochemical study was performed on normal and diseased skeletal muscle of human subjects. In the present investigation activities of enzymes which play a role in the aerobic and anaerobic pathways and which can characterize fibre type, were examined in muscle specimens, with no apparent disease of the neuromuscular system. Special attention is given to the maximal activities of phosphofructokinase and fructose-1,6-diphosphatase, the rate limiting enzymes for the regulation of the glycolysis and glyconeogenesis, respectively. A most important feature of the biochemical findings is the constancy of the activity ratios of the examined enzymes. From these results and from the histochemical results it can be concluded that in apparently normal adult human skeletal muscle the ATP-ase technique for type I and type II typing is reliable. For fibres with an intermediate intensity of staining with the myosin ATPase technique of typing it is also necessary to apply other enzyme histochemical techniques.
