The kinetics of reduction of the b-type cytochromes in the electron transport particles (ETP) from Mycobacterium phlei were studied with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, reduced form (NADH) or succinate as electron donors. There appeared to be three active cytochromes b in the ETP,bS563 and bS559, which were reducible by either substrate, and bN563, which was reducible by NADH but not by succinate. In the presence of adenosine 5'-triphosphate, a substantial increase in b563 reduction was observed with succinate at anaerobiosis. This was followed by a decrease in absorption. Adenosine 5'-triphosphate did not effect an increase in cytochrome b563 reduction at transition with NADH, but the occurrence of a secondary decrease in absorption was reflected in a decrease in total enzymatic reduction. The adenosine 5'-triphosphate effect was altered in trypsin-treated ETP, and abolished by uncoupling agents or by removal of the coupling factor-latent adenosine triphosphatase. In the presence of a supernatant fraction obtained during the preparation of the ETP, b563 reduction with succinate was greatly increased. A smaller increase was observed with NADH. Cytochrome b reduction was also studied in ETP inhibited by 2-n-nonylhydroxyquinoline-N-oxide, which appears to inhibit at bS563. On the basis of these data the interrelationships among the b-type cytochromes can be described in relation to the M. phlei electron transport chain.

The brain contains two distinct molecular forms of the (Na,K)-ATPase (sodium and potassium ion-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase). They can be resolved by gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate, and can be identified by sodium-dependent, potassium-sensitive phosphorylation by [gamma-32P]ATP. They are present in the brain of every animal species examined, while only one molecular form is detected in the other organs examined. They are located in different kinds of cells within the brain, and can be physically separated while fully active by gentle tissue fractionation procedures. One is the only (Na,K)-ATPase of brain non-neuronal cells (astrocytes), while the other is the only (Na,K)-ATPase of axolemma (plasma membrane of myelinated axons). They differ in at least one kinetic parameter: the affinity for the specific inhibitor strophanthidin. They have similar one-dimensional peptide maps, but differ in their sensitivity to digestion by trypsin and in the number or reactivity of sulfhydryl groups. It is anticipated that they will be found to play functionally different roles in the complex ion transport mechanisms of the brain.

An adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase EC 3.6.1.3) was partially purified from myeloblasts of chicken infected with the avian myeloblastosis virus and some of its molecular, catalytic and immunological properties were compared with that of the ATPase purified from the virus. Both the enzymes possessed almost same electrophoretic mobility, molecular weight, S20,w value, substrate specificity, metal-ion requirement, apparent Km value and sensitivity to inhibitors and activator. Evidence also indicated immunological identity of the two enzymes. The insensitivity of this enzyme to rutamycin or ouabain and extreme sensitivity to most of the detergents, trypsin and mercurials are the remarkable properties of this enzyme.

The sodium- and potassium-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (Na+,K(+)-ATPase) maintains the transmembrane Na+ gradient to which is coupled all active cellular transport systems. The R and S alleles of the gene encoding the Na+,K(+)-ATPase alpha 1 subunit isoform were identified in Dahl salt-resistant (DR) and Dahl salt-sensitive (DS) rats, respectively. Characterization of the S allele-specific Na+,K(+)-ATPase alpha 1 complementary DNA identified a leucine substitution of glutamine at position 276. This mutation alters the hydropathy profile of a region in proximity to T3(Na), the trypsin-sensitive site that is only detected in the presence of Na+. This mutation causes a decrease in the rubidium-86 influx of S allele-specific sodium pumps, thus marking a domain in the Na+,K(+)-ATPase alpha subunit important for K+ transport, and supporting the hypothesis of a putative role of these pumps in hypertension.

Although insulin is known to elicit a positive inotropic effect in cardiac muscle preparations, very little is known concerning the mechanism of this action. In view of the crucial role played by the sarcoplasmic reticular (SR) calcium transport in cardiac contractile events, the effects of insulin on the pig heart SR were investigated. Insulin activated the SR Ca++-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) in a concentration-dependent manner (0.1 mU to 1 U/ml); maximal activation (125%) was seen at 0.1 to 1 U/ml of insulin. Kinetic studies revealed that the insulin-induced activation was due to an increase in the apparent Vmax of Ca++-stimulated ATPase without any alteration in the Km. Insulin was found to bind with SR membranes in a specific manner and this binding was rapid, saturable and displacable. The dose-related increase in the activation of Ca++-stimulated ATPase was related linearly (r = 0.98) to binding of insulin with SR membranes; 50% activation of Ca++-stimulated ATPase was found to occur at 13.5 fmol of insulin binding per mg of SR protein. When insulin was allowed to dissociate by a 100-fold dilution of the insulin-receptor complex, the activity of SR Ca++-stimulated ATPase also declined gradually. Furthermore, proteolytic digestion on the membrane with trypsin (3 micrograms/mg of protein) decreased both insulin binding as well as the increase in Ca++-stimulated ATPase activity by about 50%.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Radiation inactivation technique was employed to measure the functional size of adenosine triphosphatase of spinach chloroplasts. The functional size for acid-base-induced ATP synthesis was 450 +/- 24 kilodaltons; for phenazine methosulfate-mediated ATP synthesis, 613 +/- 33 kilodaltons; and for methanol-activated ATP hydrolysis, 280 +/- 14 kilodaltons. The difference (170 +/- 57 kilodaltons) between 450 +/- 24 and 280 +/- 14 kilodaltons is explained to be the molecular mass of proton channel (coupling factor 0) across the thylakoid membrane. Our data suggest that the stoichiometry of subunits I, II, and III of coupling factor 0 is 1:2:15. Ca2+- and Mg2+-ATPase activated by methanol, heat, and trypsin digestion have a similar functional size. However, anions such as SO3(2-) and CO3(2-) increased the molecular mass for both ATPase's (except trypsin-activated Mg2+-ATPase) by 12-30%. Soluble coupling factor 1 has a larger target size than that of membrane-bound. This is interpreted as the cold effect during irradiation.

1. The action of trypsin, chymotrypsin and subtilisin on the adenosine-triphosphatase and actin-combining activities, as measured by viscometric means, of H-meromyosin were compared. 2. Subfragment 1 produced by prolonged tryptic digestion has a molecular weight of 129000. 3. The preparations isolated by gel filtration and actin combination were shown to be similar. 4. Subfragment-1 preparations possess appreciably higher adenosine-triphosphatase activities than H-meromyosin when related to total nitrogen. 5. Chromatographic and gelfiltration studies indicated that adenosine-triphosphatase activity is not distributed uniformly in all fractions of subfragment 1. 6. The Ca(2+)-activated adenosine triphosphatase of subfragment 1 was stimulated by thiol reagents in a similar fashion to myosin and H-meromyosin. 7. Subfragment 1 differed from myosin and H-meromyosin in that its adenosine triphosphatase was only slightly activated by Mg(2+) in the presence of actin. 8. A subfragment-1-like component was obtained by chymotryptic digestion of H-meromyosin. 9. The results obtained from enzymic and hydrodynamic studies and from amino acid analyses are compatible with the concept of one molecule of H-meromyosin giving rise to one molecule of subfragment 1 on proteolytic digestion.

Membranes of Micrococcus lysodeikticus possess antigens which are distinct from other cellular components such as cytoplasm, ribosomes, and cell walls. Only a few (two to three) components are found when dissociated membranes are examined by immunodiffusion and immunoelectrophoresis techniques. Membranes treated with 0.3% sodium dodecyl sulfate, 0.3% Triton X-100, trypsin, phospholipase A or C, or by sonic oscillation at pH 9.0, all showed the same pattern (three major bands) when examined against membrane antisera by immunoelectrophoresis. Immunological analysis of fractions isolated by sucrose gradient centrifugation or by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis suggests that individual components cross-react. Antibodies to adenosine triphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.3) and fast-moving component are not removed by absorption with protoplasts. Removal of antibody to one of the membrane antigens by protoplast absorption indicated a surface location. Glutaraldehyde fixation of protoplasts resulted in the loss of membrane antigens detectable by immunodiffusion.

The latency of Micrococcus lysodeikticus membrane-bound Mg(2+)-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) is expressed by the ratio of its activity assayed in the presence of trypsin ("total") versus the activity assayed in absence of the protease ("basal"). By isolating membranes in the presence of variable concentrations of Mg(2+) (50 mM, 10 mM, or none) and by washing them with different Mg(2+)- and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid-containing tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane-hydrochloride buffers (pH 7.5), we showed that the enzyme latency was dependent on the environmental concentration of this divalent metal ion. Mg(2+) bound to at least two classes of sites. The binding of Mg(2+) to low-affinity sites (saturation at approximately 40 mM external Mg(2+)) induced a high basal ATPase activity, whereas its binding to medium-affinity sites (saturation at about 2 mM Mg(2+)) correlated with low basal activity and a very high stimulation by trypsin. Membranes with tightly bound Mg(2+) (high affinity?) revealed an intermediate behavior for the latency of M. lysodeikticus ATPase. The Mg(2+)/Ca(2+) antagonism as activators of the membrane ATPase was not directly related to Mg(2+) binding by the membranes. The efficiency of the ATPase release from M. lysodeikticus membrane by 3 mM tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane-hydrochloride buffer (pH 7.5) was inversely proportional to the concentration of external and/or bound Mg(2+). Deoxycholate (DOC) (1%) solubilized the ATPase from all types of membrane. All the soluble ATPases behaved as Ca(2+)-ATPases, but the DOC-soluble fractions showed degrees of latency like those of the original membranes. The DOC-soluble ATPase preparation revealed a vesicular structure and complex protein patterns by sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. We propose that ATPase latency is modulated via a Mg(2+)-ATPase-membrane complex.

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+.
