1. The specific activity of mitochondrial ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) in extracts of Schizosaccharomyces pombe decreased 2.5-fold as the glucose concentration in the growth medium decreased from 50mM to 15mM. 2. During the late exponential phase of growth, ATPase activity doubled. 3. Sensitivity to oligomycin and Dio-9 as measured by values for I50(mug of inhibitor/mg of protein giving 50% inhibition) at pH 6.8 increased sixfold and ninefold respectively during the initial decrease in ATPase activity, and this degree of sensitivity was maintained for the remainder of the growth cycle. 4. Increased sensitivity to NN'-dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide, triethyltin and venturicidin was also observed during the early stage of glucose de-repression. 5. Smaller increases in sensitivity to efrapeptin, aurovertin, 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diaz-le, quercetin and spegazzinine also occurred. 6. The ATPase of glycerol-grown cells was less sensitive to inhibitors than that of glucose-repressed cells; change in values for I50 were not so marked during the growth cycle of cells growing with glycerol. 7. When submitochondrial particles from glycerol-grown cells were tested by passage through Sephadex G-50, a fourfold increase in activity was accompanied by increased inhibitor resistance. 8. Gel filtration of submitochondrial particles from glucose-de-repressed cells gave similar results, whereas loss of ATPase occurred in submitochondrial particles from glucose-repressed cells. 9. It is proposed that alterations in sensitivity to inhibitors at different stages of glucose derepression may be partly controlled by a naturally occuring inhibitor of ATPase. 10. The inhibitors tested may be classififed into two groups on the basis of alterations of sensitivity of the ATPase during physiological modification: (a) oligomycin, Dio-9, NN'-dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide, venturicidin and triethyltin, and (b) efrapeptin, aurovertin, 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole, quercetin and spegazzinine.

The cholinergic agonist carbachol produces a concentration-dependent (half-maximum inhibitory concentration = 0.9 microM) decrease in the Na(+)-K(+)-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity of rabbit cardiac sarcolemma that occurred only in the presence of guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate (0.1 microM GTP gamma S) and reached 40% inhibition. The inhibition is blocked by the muscarinic receptor antagonist atropine (10 microM) and is abolished in sarcolemma treated with pertussis toxin (20 micrograms/ml) in the presence of 100 microM NAD. GTP gamma S alone reduces Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity by 45% (half-maximum inhibitory = 1 microM). The apparent affinity of the enzyme for GTP gamma S is increased approximately 10-fold in the presence of 1 microM carbachol. In sarcolemma solubilized with the zwitterionic detergent 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)-dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS, 10 mM), the GTP gamma S-dependent inhibition of the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase is also observed. Gel filtration of a CHAPS extract of sarcolemma on a Sepharose CL-6B column resulted in a separation of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase and pertussis toxin-sensitive Gi activities. Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity that was separated on the column lost its sensitivity to the inhibitory action of guanine nucleotides. Inhibitory effects (20-30%) of guanosine 5'-triphosphate analogues [Gpp(NH)p, GTP gamma S, or Gpp(CH2)p] at micromolar concentrations were restored when the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity was recombined with fractions that contained the pertussis toxin-sensitive Gi protein(s). Similar concentrations of guanosine 5'-triphosphate, guanosine 5'-diphosphate, guanosine-5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate, or App(NH)p were unable to induce the Gi protein-mediated attenuation of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity in the reconstitution system.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

1. The physical, chemical and enzymic properties of subfragment 1 prepared from myosin of rabbit skeletal muscle by using two different concentrations of insoluble papain were compared. 2. Subfragment 1 prepared by using a myosin/papain ratio of 2000: 1 (by wt.) migrated on electrophoresis in non-dissociating conditions as a single enzymically active band. When prepared with a myosin/papain ratio of 200: 1 the preparation consisted of two enzymically active components of slightly different electrophoretic mobility. 3. The two types of preparation were obtained in similar yield and possessed similar specific adenosine triphosphatase activities when determined in the presence of Ca(2+). 4. Gel electrophoresis in the presence of 8m-urea showed that both preparations contained three light components. The component of molecular weight 15500 was apparently identical with one of the light-chain components of myosin (Ml(1)). The other two light-chain components of subfragment 1 were not identical with any of the light-chain components of myosin. 5. The heavy-chain fraction of subfragment 1 prepared by using low concentrations of papain dissociated into components with molecular weights of 87000, 69000 and 26000 on electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulphate. The heavy-chain fraction of subfragment 1 prepared by using higher concentrations of papain contained components with molecular weights of 69000 and 53000 and relatively increased amounts of the component of molecular weight 26000. 6. The isolated 26000 dalton component had an amino acid composition similar to that of the heavy-chain fraction of subfragment 1 and contained 3-methylhistidine and mono-and tri-N(epsilon)-methyl-lysine. It was homogeneous on electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate but gave two bands on electrophoresis in 8m-urea.

1. The mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) of Acanthamoeba castellanii is Mg2+-requiring (optimum cation: ATP ratio of 1.5) and has two pH optima of activity (at pH 6.6 and 8.1). 2. ATPase activity of submitochondrial particles is effectively inhibited by twelve different inhibitors of energy conservation suggesting similarities in inhibitor-binding sites to other previously characterized complexes. 3. Gel filtration by passage through Sephadex G-50 increases ATPase activity of submitochondrial particles between 1.5 and 3.5 fold indicating the presence of a low molecular weight inhibitor protein. 4. After removal of the inhibitor protein, sensitivity to inhibitors of energy conservation decreases by between 1.5 and 14 fold. Crude F1-inhibitor preparations from A. castellanii, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Tetrahymena pyriformis and bovine heart also inhibit ATPase activity. 5. Large variations in ATPase activity, F1-inhibitor protein activity, and amounts of immunologically-determined ATPase protein were observed during exponential growth, and the correlation between changes in these measurements is discussed. 6. The results are also discussed highlighting the similarities between the mitochondrial ATPase of A. castellanii and other mitochondrial ATPases.

A yeast nuclear pet mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae lacking any detectable mitochondrial F1-ATPase activity was genetically complemented upon transformation with a pool of wild type genomic DNA fragments carried in the yeast Escherchia coli shuttle vector YEp 13. Plasmid-dependent complementation restored both growth of the pet mutant on a nonfermentable carbon source as well as functional mitochondrial ATPase activity. Characterization of the complementing plasmid by plasmid deletion analysis indicated that the complementing gene was contained on adjoining BamH1 fragments with a combined length of 3.05 kilobases. Gel analysis of the product of this DNA by in vitro translation in a rabbit reticulocyte lysate programmed with yeast mRNA hybrid selected by the plasmid revealed a product which could be immunoprecipitated by antisera against the beta subunit of the yeast mitochondrial ATPase complex. A comparison of the protein sequence derived from partial DNA sequence analysis indicated that the beta subunit of the yeast mitochondrial ATPase complex exhibits greater than 70% conservation of protein sequence when compared to the same subunit from the ATPase of E. coli, beef heart, and chloroplast. The gene coding the beta subunit (subunit 2) of yeast mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase is designated ATP2. The utilization of cloned nuclear structural genes of mitochondrial proteins for the analysis of the post-translational targeting and import events in organelle assembly is discussed.

Cross-sectional areas and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activities of muscle fibers in the rat levator ani (LA) and bulbocavernosus (BC) were determined and compared with those of the soleus (SOL) and superficial (TAs) and deep (TAd) portions of the tibialis anterior (TA). In addition, cell body sizes and SDH activities of spinal motoneurons innervating the LA and BC were examined. Histochemical myofibrillar adenosine triphosphatase (mATPase) staining reactions following alkaline and acid preincubations revealed that all the muscle fibers in the LA and BC were type IIB. Gel electrophoresis, however, showed that the LA and BC contained 2.9 and 2.4% type IIx myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform, respectively. Immunohistochemical analyses using MHC antibodies showed that the muscle fibers in the LA and BC had types IIx / IIa (approximately 3%) or type IIb MHC isoforms. The mean fiber cross-sectional areas in the LA and BC were significantly smaller than those in the SOL, TAs, or TAd. The mean fiber SDH activities in the LA and BC were significantly lower than those in the SOL or TAd, and similar to TAs. The population of alpha motoneurons innervating the LA and BC had similar SDH activities, irrespective of their cell body sizes. These data indicate that the LA and BC are comprised of a relatively homogeneous population of small, fast and low oxidative fibers innervated by a relatively homogeneous population of spinal motoneurons. These characteristics of the muscle fibers and motoneurons are consistent with their function in short, high-intensity activities.

The phosphorylated intermediate in the (Na + K)-activated adenosine triphosphatase (Na-K ATPase) has been characterized as an L-glutamyl-gamma-phosphate residue in the enzyme. This has been accomplished by digestion of the phosphorylated and nonphosphorylated forms of the enzyme with pepsin, reaction of the pepsin digests with [2,3-(3)H]N-(n-propyl)hydroxylmine, further digestion of the derivatized peptides with pronase in the presence of carrier L-glutamyl-gamma-N-(n-propyl)hydroxamate and carrier L-aspartyl-N-(n-propyl)hydroxamate, and chromatographic purification. An increment in radioactivity migrated with authentic L-glutamyl-gamma-N-(n-propyl)hydroxamate in a total of seven electrophoretic and chromatographic systems and on gel filtration. No increment in radioactivity was associated with authentic L-aspartyl-beta-N-(n-propyl)hydroxamate in five out of the seven chromatographic and electrophoretic systems. At the last stage of purification the radioactivity from the phosphorylated enzyme which migrated as L-glutamyl-gamma-N-(n-propyl)hydroxamate was 2(1/2) times that from the nonphosphorylated enzyme. On the basis of these results it is concluded that the phosphorylated intermediate in the Na-K ATPase is an L-glutamyl-gamma-phosphate residue. The beef brain Na-K ATPase has been solubilized with the nonionic detergent, Lubrol, and has been purified 10 times over that in the original microsomes. The soluble enzyme remains stable in the presence of ATP and either Na(+) or K(+). If the partially purified enzyme is electrophoresed in 3% polyacrylamide, followed by incubation with ATP, Na(+), K(+), and Mg(++), a single, somewhat diffuse, ATPase band, which is ouabain-sensitive is seen. Protein impurities are also seen on the gel. Gel electrophoresis, after treatment of the partially purified enzyme with phenol-acetic acid-urea, shows about 12 discrete protein bands. Studies on the site-directed alkylation of the (Na + K)-activated adenosine triphosphatase with haloacetate derivatives of cardiotonic steroids are reviewed. Efforts are now underway to specifically alkylate the cardiotonic steroid site of the Na-K ATPase with hellebrigenin 3-[2-(3)H]iodoacetate and to purify the subunit of the enzyme containing the cardiotonic steroid site by following radioactivity. Finally, a working model for the role of the Na-K ATPase in the coupled transport of Na and K is presented.
