Metal (Me) and MeATP interactions with adenylate cyclases associated with rabbit ventricular particles and with a detergent-dispersed preparation from rat cerebellum have been studied. data were simulated to fit kinetic models in which an inhibitor (HATP or ATP) is added in constant proportion to the variable substrate (MeATP). The specific models considered were that the enzyme binds (a) MeATP as the substrate; (b) MeATP as the substrate and HATP or ATP as an inhibitor; (c) MeATP as the substrate and free Me as an activator; and (d) MeATP as the substrate, free Me as an activator, and HATP or ATP as an inhibitor. Both equilibrium-ordered and random (rapid equilibrium assumption) types of sequential kinetic models were considered. The various models were tested using cardiac particulate adenylate cyclase in the presence of either a phosphoenolpyruvate-pyruvate kinase or a creatine phosphate-creatine kinase ATP-regeneration system. Although the enzyme with either system appeared to bind Mg2+ as an activator, one or both ATP-regeneration systems also seemed to interact directly with adenylate cyclase, making clear interpretations difficult. With the phosphoenolpyruvate-pyruvate kinase system, kinetic patterns on double reciprocal plots were linear as a function of MgATP, but with creatine phosphate-creatine kinase, kinetic patterns were concave downward. The kinetic models were further tested using the detergent-dispersed cerebellar enzyme, a preparation with low adenosine triphosphatase activity and not requiring the addition of an ATP-regeneration system. Reciprocal plots were linear and intersecting as a function of either MeATP or Me (Me = Mg2+ or Mn2+), and secondary replots of slopes and intersecting as function of either MeATP or Me (Me = Mg2+ or Mn2+), and secondary replots of slopes and intercepts also were linear. These data indicate that the brain detergent-dispersed enzyme conforms to a bireactant, sequential mechanism where free cation is a required activator and free ATP is not a potent inhibitor.

To elucidate the mechanism of hyperkalemia in diabetic patients without renal failure, we investigated (Na(+)-K+) adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity in erythrocyte membrane, erythrocyte Na+ and K+ content, and plasma endogenous digitalis-like substance in control subjects (n = 16) and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) patients (n = 62). NIDDM patients were divided into normokalemic patients (NKDM, n = 48) and hyperkalemic patients (HKDM, n = 14). There was no difference in plasma glucose or hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels, plasma renin activity (PRA), and plasma aldosterone concentrations (PAC) between NKDM and HKDM patients. (Na(+)-K+)ATPase activities in NIDDM patients were significantly reduced compared with those in control subjects (0.336 +/- 0.016 mumol-inorganic phosphate [Pi]/mg protein/h, mean +/- SEM, P less than .05), and (Na(+)-K+)ATPase activities in HKDM patients (0.243 +/- 0.015 mumol Pi/mg protein/h) were significantly reduced compared with those in NKDM patients (0.295 +/- 0.008 mumol Pi/mg protein/h, P less than .01). Plasma K+ content had a significant negative correlation with (Na(+)-K+)ATPase activity in diabetic patients (r = -.365, P less than .01). Erythrocyte Na+ content had a significant negative correlation with (Na(+)-K+)ATPase activity in control subjects (r = -.619, P less than .05). There was no difference in plasma endogenous digitalis-like substance among the three groups. (Na(+)-K+)ATPase activity was not significantly correlated with plasma endogenous digitalis-like substance in control subjects and diabetic patients. These findings suggest that the reduction of (Na(+)-K+)ATPase activity, which was not related to plasma digitalis-like substance, may be partly responsible for hyperkalemia in diabetic patients.

A protein kinase, stimulated by cytidine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate, is conventionally assayed by monitoring the incorporation of radiolabelled phosphate from adenosine triphosphate into a histone substrate. Here the assay of the protein kinase is carried out by positive-ion fast-atom bombardment mass spectrometric analysis of the enzyme incubation mixture after the reaction has been terminated. The data so obtained show good agreement with data obtained by the conventional radiometric assay: the intrinsic advantage of the mass spectrometric assay is the capacity for multiple component monitoring; the ability of the kinase to bind competing cyclic nucleotides together with integral adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) and phosphodiesterase activity can also be assessed.

Phosphate depletion (PD) causes a rise in basal level of cytosolic calcium ([Ca2+]i) of pancreatic islets, a decrease in their basal and stimulated ATP content, a reduction in the maximum velocity (Vmax) of Ca2+ adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) and Na(+)-K+ ATPase, impaired glucose-induced calcium signal and decreased glucose-induced insulin secretion. The sequence of events that lead to these derangements during the evolution of PD are not defined. The present study examined this issue by measuring the metabolic and functional profile of pancreatic islets weekly during the evolution of PD over a period of 6 weeks, and whether phosphate repletion reverses these abnormalities. The results show that initial abnormalities are a rise in Vmax of Ca2+ ATPase and modest rise in basal [Ca2+]i. This was followed by a fall in basal and stimulated ATP content. With the fall in ATP content, the Vmax of Ca2+ ATPase and Na(+)-K+ ATPase decreases and the rise in [Ca2+]i becomes more pronounced. A decrease in glucose-induced insulin secretion becomes evident with the fall in ATP, the decrease in glucose-induced calcium signal, and/or delta[Ca2+]i/basal[Ca2+]i. All functional and metabolic derangements of the pancreatic islets returned to normal after phosphate repletion. Taken together, our data are consistent with the notion that PD is associated with an initial increase in calcium influx into the islets. This is followed by modest but significant rise in [Ca2+]i which, in turn, would inhibit mitochondrial oxidation and ATP generation leading to a decrease in ATP content. The latter compromises the activity of Ca2+ ATPase and Na(+)-K+ ATPase which are involved, directly or indirectly, in calcium extrusion out of the islets. The increased influx of calcium combined with decreased calcium extrusion is followed by a further rise in basal levels of [Ca2+]i. This sequence of events continues until a steady state is reached and is characterized by reduced basal and stimulated ATP content, reduced Vmax of Ca2+ ATPase and Na(+)-K+ ATPase and elevated basal level of [Ca2+]i. Phosphate repletion reverses all these abnormalities.

In vitro alterations induced by a 10 micrograms/ml and 50 micrograms/ml dose each of thiophenate and fenbendazole on the absorptive surfaces of Haemonchus contortus (Nematoda: Trichostrongylidae) were studied. The most significant changes were induced in the gut epithelium. Alkaline phosphatase and adenosine triphosphatase activities were decreased, succinic dehydrogenase activity was increased, while acid phosphatase and glucose-6-phosphatase were completely lost from the intestinal epithelium after treatment with either of the drugs. A stimulatory effect of these two anthelmintics was observe on lactic dehydrogenase and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide diaphorase distribution. Thiophenate caused an increase in the activities of glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) and nonspecific esterases and a decrease in reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate diaphorase (NADPH-D) activity. Fenbendazole treatment led to the inhibition of GDH, while G-6-PD, NADPH-D, cytochrome oxidase, monoamine oxidase and nonspecific esterase activity remained unaltered in the epithelium.

In the energy transduction of muscle contraction, it is important to know the nature and extent of conformational changes of the head portion of the myosin molecules. In the presence of magnesium adenosine triphosphate (MgATP), fairly large conformational changes of the myosin head [subfragment-1 (S1)] in solution were observed by small-angle x-ray scattering with the use of synchrotron radiation as an intense and stable x-ray source. The presence of MgATP reduced the radius of gyration of the molecule by about 3 angstrom units and the maximum chord length by about 10 angstroms, showing that the shape of S1 becomes more compact or round during hydrolysis of MgATP. Comparison with various nucleotide-bound S1 complexes that correspond to the known intermediate states during ATP hydrolysis indicates that the shape of S1 in a key intermediate state, S1-bound adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and phosphate [S1**.ADP.P(i)], differs significantly from the shape in the other intermediate states of the S1 adenosine triphosphatase cycle as well as that of nucleotide-free S1.

Ciliary epithelium was isolated from the rabbit eye and used as a source of plasma membrane material for sodium, potassium-adenosine triphosphatase (Na,K-ATPase) measurements. In the presence of 12(R)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid [12(R)HETE], Na,K-ATPase (ouabain-sensitive ATPase) activity was reduced from 22.5 to 16.3 microM phosphate released/mg protein/hr. Ouabain-insensitive ATPase activity was not altered by 12(R)HETE. No changes in ciliary epithelium ATPase activity were observed in the presence of 12(S)HETE. In parallel studies with conscious rabbits, 12(R)HETE applied topically to the eye was found to lower intraocular pressure (IOP). It is possible that the IOP-lowering effect of 12(R)HETE may be, in part, associated with its ability to suppress the Na,K-ATPase activity of the ciliary epithelium.

Intact human erythrocytes, initially depleted of Mg2+ by EDTA incubation in the presence of A23187, exhibit Mg(2+)-dependent phosphate production of around 1.5 mmol per liter cells.h, half-maximally activated at around 0.4 mM added free Mg2+. This appears to correspond to Mg(2+)-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase (Mg(2+)-ATPase) activity found in isolated membranes, which is known to have a similar activity and affinity for Mg2+. Vanadate (up to 100 microM) inhibited Mg(2+)-dependent phosphate production and ATP breakdown in intact cells. Over a similar concentration range vanadate (3-100 microM) transformed intact cells from normal discocytes to echinocytes within 4-8 h at 37 degrees C, and more rapidly in Mg(2+)-depleted cells. The rate of Ca(2+)-induced echinocytosis was also enhanced in Mg(2+)-depleted cells. These results support previous studies in erythrocyte ghosts suggesting that vanadate-induced shape change is associated with inhibition of Mg(2+)-ATPase activity localized in the plasma membrane of the red blood cell.

Haemonchus contortus, incubated in 10 micrograms/ml and 50 micrograms/ml concentrations of Nilzan and albendazole in Tyrode solution were stained for histoenzymatic demonstration of various phosphatases, oxido-reductases and esterases. The intestine showed major alterations after drug treatments. The alkaline phosphatases (AkPase), adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), glucose-6-phosphatase, succinic dehydrogenase (SDH), glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate diaphorase and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide diaphorase showed a decreased activity in intestine after Nilzan treatment, whereas lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) and monoamine oxidase resisted increased reaction. The albendazole treatment resulted in altered distribution pattern of the AkPase, ATPase, SDH, and GDH; while LDH, G-6-PD, and non-specific esterases exhibited slightly enhanced activity in the epithelium. The functional significance of these changes has been fully discussed.

Red blood cell (RBC) calcium, calcium 45 influx, and calcium extrusion as indicated by Ca-stimulated, Mg-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (CaATPase) was determined in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF), patients with CRF receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) treatment, and controls. Cell calcium, which in the controls was 5.5 mumol/L of cells, was elevated in patients with CRF--30.6 +/- 6.8 mumol/L of cells (p less than 0.002)--and in patients receiving CAPD-23.6 +/- 6.7 mumol/L of cells (p less than 0.02). Basal CaATPase activity in controls was 850.7 +/- 66.7 nmol inorganic phosphate per milligram of protein per hour. It was suppressed in patients with CRF and patients receiving CAPD: 504.9 +/- 34.4 nmol inorganic phosphate per milligram of protein per hour and 618.2 +/- 47.3 nmol inorganic phosphate per milligram of protein per hour, respectively (p less than 0.01). Calmodulin-stimulated CaATPase revealed a pattern similar to that of CaATPase basal activity. RBC calcium showed an inverse correlation with CaATPase activity (r = -0.935, p less than 0.005) in patients with CRF. Calcium influx was increased in patients with CRF and in patients receiving CAPD: 12.00 +/- 1.34 mumol/L of cells per hour and 13.60 +/- 1.70, respectively, compared with 4.61 +/- 0.39 mumol/L of cells per hour in controls (p less than 0.001). Patients with CRF have elevated RBC calcium levels mainly related to decreased extrusion and to increased influx. CAPD fails to improve substantially these abnormalities. Plasma vanadium levels were markedly elevated in patients undergoing hemodialysis and marginally in patients receiving CAPD.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
