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.

1. The uptakes of Pi and serine by whole cells of mutant strains of Escherichia coli K12, grown under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, were studied. 2. Uptake by aerobic cells was low in a ubiquinone-less mutant but normal in two mutant strains unable to couple phosphorylation to electron transport. 3. One of these uncoupled strains, carrying the unc-405 allele, does not form a membrane-bound Mg2+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase aggregate, and it is concluded that the Mg2+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase does not serve a structural role in the aerobic active transport of Pi or serine. 4. The other uncoupled strain, in which aerobic uptake is unaffected, carries a mutation in the uncB gene, thus distinguishing this gene from the etc gene, previously shown to be concerned with the coupling of electron transport to active transport. 5. The uptakes of Pi and serine by anaerobic cells were normal in the ubiquinone-less mutant, but defective in both the uncoupled strains. 6. The uptake of Pi and serine by anaerobic cells of the uncB mutant could be increased by the addition of fumarate to the uptake medium. The unc-405 mutant, however, required the addition of fumarate for growth and for uptake. 7. The uncB mutant, unlike the unc-405 mutant, is able to grow anaerobically in a minimal medium with glucose as sole source of carbon. Similarly a strain carrying a mutation in the frd gene, which is the structural gene for the enzyme fumarate reductase, is able to grow anaerobically in a glucose-minimal medium. However, a mutant strain carrying mutations in both the uncB and frd genes resembles the unc-405 mutant in not being able to grow under these conditions.

The ATP-energy transducing system in membranes of Escherichia coli is inhibited by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The protein component of this complex with which carbodiimides covalently react to inhibit function was previously identified by labeling wild type and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-resistant mutants with dicyclohexyl[14C]carbodiimide (Fillingame, R. H. (1975) J. Bacteriol. 124, 870-883). This specific carbodiimide-reactive protein has now been purified. The protein was extracted from the membrane with chloroform:methanol and chromatographed on DEAE-cellulose and hydroxypropyl Spehadex G-50 in this sulvent mixture. The resultant 700-fold purification yielded a protein that was homogeneous on dodecyl sulfate-acrylamide gel electrophoresis and virtually free of phospholipid. It remained soluble in neutral chloroform:methanol throughout the purification procedure. The amino acid composition of the purified protein was extraordinary in that only 16% of the amino acids present could be considered polar. Histidine, serine, cysteine, and tryptophan were not found. Abnormally high contents of methionine, glycine, alanine, and leucine were present. One mole of lysine and threonine were found/mole of dicyclohexyl[14C]carbodiimide bound. The minimum molecular weight based on the amino acid composition was 8400. The specific carbodiimide-reactive protein has also been purified without prior modification by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The unmodified protein eluted from DEAE-cellulose at a higher salt concentration than the dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-modified form, which suggested that the reaction with the carbodiimide neutralized the negative charge. Only one-third of the total carbodiimide-reactive protein in the membrane was modified by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide under conditions which maximally inhibited adenosine triphosphatase activity. These results rais the possibility that the carbodiimide-reactive protein may be present as an oligomer in the energy-transducing complex. The purification of the unmodified carbodiimide-reactive protein should permit assessment of tis biological function, particularly its role in the protein-translocation process that is catalyzed by this energy-transducing complex.

We have cloned and sequenced over 9 kb of the mitochondrial genome from the sea star Pisaster ochraceus. Within a continuous 8.0-kb fragment are located the genes for NADH dehydrogenase subunits 1, 2, 3, and 4L (ND1, ND2, ND3, and ND4L), cytochrome oxidase subunits I, II, and III (COI, COII, and COIII), and adenosine triphosphatase subunits 6 and 8 (ATPase 6 and ATPase 8). This large fragment also contains a cluster of 13 tRNA genes between ND1 and COI as well as the genes for isoleucine tRNA between ND1 and ND2, arginine tRNA between COI and ND4L, lysine tRNA between COII and ATPase 8, and the serine (UCN) tRNA between COIII and ND3. The genes for the other five tRNAs lie outside this fragment. The gene for phenylalanine tRNA is located between cytochrome b and the 12S ribosomal genes. The genes for tRNA(glu) and tRNA(thr) are 3' to 12S ribosomal gene. The tRNAs for histidine and serine (AGN) are adjacent to each other and lie between ND4 and ND5. These data confirm the novel gene order in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of sea stars and delineate additional distinctions between the sea star and other mtDNA molecules.

Phospholipids were found to be a constant component of rat glomerular basement-membrane preparations. The concentration fell during preparation of basement membrane by sonication of whole glomeruli, but then remained constant despite continued sonication. The proportions of the individual phospholipids were different from those of whole renal tissue or of isolated glomeruli. The basement-membrane preparations had no (Na(+)+K(+))-activated adenosine triphosphatase activity, an enzyme that is bound to plasma membranes. The concentration of lipid P was decreased on exposure in vivo or in vitro to antiserum against basement membrane; 7 days after injection of antiserum there was a change in the phospholipid composition, with a relative increase in phosphatidylcholine and a decrease in sphingomyelin content. The metabolic turnover rate of the lipid P remaining in the membrane was normal, as determined by (32)P incorporation. The loss of phospholipid was associated with decreases in the relative concentrations of hydroxyproline, hydroxylysine and glycine, and relative increases in proline, lysine, serine, threonine and valine. Administration of aminonucleoside and daunomycin produced proteinuria but did not cause a decrease in lipid P. Anticollagen and anti-lymphocyte sera that attached to the basement membrane but failed to produce proteinuria, also failed to affect the phospholipid content.

Phosphorus-31 nuclear magnetic resonance (31P-NMR) analysis was performed on normal (line 412) and dystrophic (line 413) superficial pectoralis muscles excised from chickens between 15 and 116 days after hatching. An apparent alteration in dystrophic muscle energy metabolism was abolished by pretreatment with curare and was attributed to muscle hyperexcitability. Time-dependent 31P-NMR studies demonstrated no apparent difference in the overall tissue adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity of dystrophic as compared to normal muscle. After 55 days of age, a resonance signal attributed to serine ethanolamine phosphodiester (SEPDE) was observed only in dystrophic muscle. Adding the paramagnetic cation Mn2+ to the buffer surrounding the muscle resulted in an approximate 80% decrement in the dystrophic SEPDE signal without apparent alteration of the other phosphatic signals in either the normal or dystrophic muscle. This would argue against any generalized membrane defect in dystrophic chicken muscle and suggest that SEPDE is in a compartment accessible to Mn2+.

The hepatitis C virus (HCV) nonstructural (NS) 3 protein has been shown to possess at least two enzymatic domains. The amino terminal third contains a serine-protease domain, whereas the carboxy terminal two thirds is comprised of an adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase)/helicase domain. These domains are essential for the maturation of the carboxy-terminal portion of the HCV polyprotein and catalyze the cap synthesis of the RNA genome. In this report, human and murine antibody responses induced by NS3 were characterized using a recombinant full-length NS3 (NS3-FL) protein, or the isolated protease or ATPase/ helicase domains, expressed and purified from Escherichia coli. Sera from 40 patients with chronic HCV infection were assayed in enzyme-linked immunoassays (EIAs) for antibody binding to the panel of NS3 proteins. Virtually all patient sera contained antibodies specific for NS3-FL and the ATPase/helicase domain, whereas only 10% of sera reacted with the protease domain of NS3. Human antibodies reactive with NS3-FL were highly restricted to the immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) isotype and were inhibited by soluble ATPase/helicase, but not by the protease domain. The anti-NS3 (ATPase/helicase) reactivity decreased on denaturation by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and beta-mercaptoethanol (2ME), suggesting the recognition of nonlinear or conformational B-cell determinants. Similar to infected humans, mice immunized with NS3-FL developed high-titered primary antibody responses to the NS3 ATPase/ helicase domain, whereas an anti-NS3 protease response was not observed after primary or secondary immunizations. Thus, the human and murine humoral immune responses to the HCV NS3 protein are focused on the ATPase/helicase domain, are restricted to the IgG1 isotype in humans, and are conformationally dependent. Unexpectedly, in both species, the NS3 protease domain, present in the context of the full-length NS3, appears to possess low intrinsic immunogenicity in terms of antibody production.

Thyroid hormone exerts predictable effects on the contractile performance of the heart in part by regulating the transcription of genes encoding specific calcium transporter proteins. In a rat model of hypothyroidism, left ventricular (LV) contractile function as measured by ejection fraction was decreased by 22% (P < 0.05), and this was returned to control values with T3 treatment. In confirmation of prior studies, LV phospholamban (PLB) protein content was significantly decreased by 25% and 40% compared with hypothyroid LV when the animals were treated with T3 at two doses, 2.5 and 7.0 microg/day, respectively. The ratio of sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium adenosine triphosphatase (SERCA2) to PLB protein content was thus increased by 171% and 207%, respectively (P < 0.01). Resolution of the phosphorylated PLB pentamers by SDS-PAGE showed that T3 infusion at 2.5 and 7.0 microg/day decreased (P < 0.001) the amount nonphosphorylated pentamers by 82% and 95%, respectively, in a dose-dependent manner. T3 treatment produced an increase in the proportion of highly phosphorylated PLB pentamers (more than five phosphates) when expressed as a fraction of total pentameric molecules (P < 0.05). Site-specific antibodies showed that the T3-induced increase in phosphorylated PLB pentamers was the result of an increase in both serine 16 and threonine 17 phosphorylation. We conclude that thyroid hormone, in addition to regulating the expression of cardiac PLB, is able to alter the degree of PLB phosphorylation, which correlates with enhancement of LV contractile function. These studies suggest that T3 may augment myocyte calcium cycling via changes in both cAMP- and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase activities.

Phosphorylation of the alpha-subunits of Na(+),K(+)-adenosine triphosphatase in response to insulin, high extracellular glucose concentration, and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate was investigated in isolated rat soleus muscle. All three stimuli increased alpha-subunit phosphorylation approximately 3-fold. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate- and high glucose-induced phosphorylation of the alpha-subunit was completely abolished by the PKC inhibitor GF109203X, whereas insulin-stimulated phosphorylation was only partially reduced. Notably, insulin stimulation resulted in phosphorylation of the alpha-subunit on serine, threonine, and tyrosine residues, whereas high extracellular glucose or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate stimulation mediated phosphorylation only on serine and threonine residues. Insulin stimulation resulted in translocation of Na(+),K(+)-adenosine triphosphatase alpha(2)-subunit to the plasma membrane and increased Na(+),K(+)-adenosine triphosphatase activity in the same membrane fraction. High glucose had no effect on alpha-subunits distribution. Immunoprecipitation with antiphosphotyrosine antibody and subsequent Western blot analysis with anti-alpha(1)- and -alpha(2)-subunit antibodies revealed that both alpha(1)- and alpha(2)-subunit isoforms underwent phosphorylation on tyrosine residues in response to insulin, although with different time course and magnitude. Thus, we show that insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of Na(+),K(+)-adenosine triphosphatase alpha-subunit occurs via a PKC- and tyrosine kinase-dependent mechanism, whereas high glucose-induced phosphorylation is only PKC-dependent. Phosphorylation of Na(+),K(+)-adenosine triphosphatase alpha-subunits may be involved in regulation of Na(+),K(+)-adenosine triphosphatase activity by insulin or high extracellular glucose in skeletal muscle.

It has been shown that the Hepatitis C virus nonstructural NS3 protein possesses at least two enzymatic domains: a serine-protease domain and an adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase)/helicase domain. In this report, a truncated fragment of NS3 (26 kDa), representing main epitopes from the (ATPase)/helicase domain, has been expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant protein was purified by Ion Metal Affinity Chromatography (IMAC) with more than 90% purity. The recognition of B-cell linear epitopes in the NS3 protein was evaluated by immunoblot. The recombinant NS3 protein was reduced and carboxymethylated, and the recognition of either conformational and/or linear B-cell determinants was evaluated by ELISA. The inclusion of the recombinant NS3 protein in a third-generation diagnostic system UltraMicroELISA (UMELISA) allowed an increase in the sensitivity, due to the detection of a new variety of false-negative sera in blood donor test samples.
