A selective deficit in ouabain-sensitive adenosine triphosphatase has been shown in unilaterally obstructed dog kidneys; the deficit correlates inversely with Na+ and K+ excretion following relief of obstruction. It is postulated that the enzymatic defect may play a role in the etiology of postobstructive diuresis.

2,4,3',5'-tetrahydroxystilbene (THS) wa s found to inhibit rat liver mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity induced by various concentrations of 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP). The I50 was found to be 17 nmoles/mg mitochondrial protein. The maximum inhibitory effects of oligomycin and atractyloside on the DNP-activated mitochondrial ATPase activity can be enhanced by adding THS. The atractyloside-insensitive ATPase activity of Lubrol-treated rat liver mitochondria was also inhibited by low concentration of THS. The tetramethoxyderivative of THS was much less effective than the parent compound in depressing the ATPase activity of both intact and Lubrol-treated mitochondria. These observations suggest that the phenolic groups are essential for the mitochondrial actions of THS, and this compound most probably acts by a mechanism different from oligomycin on the mitochondrial ATPase complex.

The composition and function of fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum from pig skeletal muscle was examined in the period immediately post mortem. Muscle was defined as being either slowly glycolysing or rapidly glycolysing on the basis of colour, pH and concentrations of glycogen and lactate. The microsomal fraction was separated on a discontinuous gradient of 35, 40 and 45% (w/v) sucrose into heavy and intermediate fractions which sedimented to the interfaces, and a light fraction which remained on the surface of the 35%-sucrose layer. The sarcoplasmic reticulum from rapidly glycolysing muscle had a lower buoyant density than had that from slowly glycolysing muscle. This was reflected in the consistent lack of material in the heavy fraction and a greater proportion in the light fraction. The latter material had significantly lower ratios (w/w) of protein to phospholipid (2.3:1 versus 3.8:1) and of protein to cholesterol (10.4:1 versus 15.6:1). There were no gross differences in phospholipid content or in fatty acid composition of individual phospholipid classes in the membranes from the two types of muscle. Analysis of membrane proteins by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis showed that ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) was a major component of each fraction and that its contribution to the total protein content of the membrane was greater in rapidly glycolysing muscle, suggesting a loss of non-ATPase proteins. The two fractions of sarcoplasmic reticulum prepared from rapidly glycolysing muscle had approximately one-third the normal activities of Ca(2+) binding and Ca(2+) uptake in the presence of ATP and one-half the passive Ca(2+)-binding capacity in the absence of ATP of the fractions from slowly glycolysing muscle. However, the (Ca(2+)+Mg(2+))-stimulated ATPase activities were similar. Efflux from actively loaded vesicles, after the addition of EDTA, consisted of a rapid and a slow phase. Vesicles from rapidly glycolysing muscle lost 60% of associated Ca(2+) (approx. 0.10mumol of Ca(2+)/mg of protein) during the rapid phase, compared with 30% (approx. 0.17mumol of Ca(2+)/mg of protein) in those from slowly glycolysing muscle. The efflux rate during the slower phase was comparable in both types of vesicles. Analysis of the temperature-dependence of (Ca(2+)+Mg(2+))-stimulated ATPase activity revealed that a high-activation-energy process operating in the temperature range 31-45 degrees C in the intermediate and light fractions from slowly glycolysing muscle was not apparent in vesicles from rapidly glycolysing muscle. Conditions that result in the prolonged activation of glycogenolysis in pig muscle post mortem primarily affect the protein components of the sarcoplasmic-reticular membrane, giving rise to a loss of loosely associated proteins. The function of the membranes observed under these conditions does not appear to be due to enhanced permeability of the membrane to Ca(2+) and may be the result of a defect in the transport of Ca(2+) into the vesicles.

1. The fatty acid composition of the ole-1 and ole-1 petite mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was manipulated by growing the organism in the presence of defined supplements of Tween 80 or by allowing cells that had first been grown in the presence of Tween 80 to deplete their unsaturated fatty acids by sequent growth in the absence of Tween 80. 2. The transition temperature of Arrhenius plots of mitochondrial ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) increases as the unsaturated fatty acid content is lowered. 3. Cells require larger amounts of unsaturated fatty acids to grow on ethanol at lower temperatures. 4. Cells that stop growing owing to unsaturated fatty acid depletion at low temperatures are induced to grow further by raising the temperature and this results in a further depletion of unsaturated acids. This is due to a higher rate, but not a greater efficiency, of mitochondrial ATP synthesis. 5. Arrhenius plots of the passive permeability of mitochondria to protons between 4 and 37 degrees C are linear. The rate and the Arrhenius activation energy of proton entry increase greatly as the unsaturated fatty acid content is lowered. 6. Unsaturated fatty acid depletion has the same effects on the proton permeability of ole-1 petite mitochondria, indicating that the mitochondrially synthesized subunits of the ATPase are not involved in the enhanced rates of proton entry. 7. The adenylate energy charge of depleted ole-1 cells is greatly decreased by growth on ethanol medium. 8. The adenylate energy charge of isolated mitochondria is also lowered by unsaturated fatty acid depletion. 9. The results confirm that unsaturated fatty acid depletion uncouples oxidative phosphorylation in yeast both in vivo and in vitro, and is a consequence of changes in the lipid part of the membrane.

1. The synthesis of dibutylchloromethyltin chloride, a new covalent inhibitor of the mitochondrial ATP synthase [oligomycin-sensitive ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase)] complex is described, together with a method for preparing dibutylchloro[(3)H]methyltin chloride. 2. Studies with the yeast mitochondrial oligomycin-sensitive ATPase complex show that dibutylchloromethyltin chloride inhibits both the membrane-bound enzyme and also the purified Triton X-100-dispersed preparation. 3. F(1)-ATPase is not inhibited even at 500nmol of dibutylchloromethyltin chloride/mg of protein, and the general inhibitory properties are similar to those of triethyltin, oligomycin and dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide, known energy-transfer inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation. 4. Binding studies with yeast submitochondrial particles show that dibutylchloromethyltin chloride antagonizes the binding of triethyl[(113)Sn]tin, indicating that there is an interaction between the two inhibitor-binding sites. 5. Unlike triethyltin, inhibition by dibutylchloromethyltin chloride is due to a covalent interaction which titrates a component of the inner mitochondrial membrane present at a concentration of 8-9nmol/mg of protein. 6. All of the labelled component can be extracted with chloroform/methanol (2:1, v/v), and sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of the chloroform/methanol extract indicates that the labelled component has an apparent mol.wt. of 6000-8000. However, t.l.c. reveals the presence of only one labelled component which is lipophilic and non-protein and is distinct from the free inhibitor, mitochondrial phospholipids and the dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide-binding protein (subunit 9). 7. Inhibition of mitochondrial ATPase and oxidative phosphorylation is correlated with specific interaction with a non-protein lipophilic component of the mitochondrial inner membrane which is proposed to be a co-factor or intermediate of oxidative phosphorylation.

Primary and secondary fragments of the Ca2+-adenosine triphosphatase from sarcoplasmic reticulum are resistant to complete denaturation by guanidinium hydrochloride, a property characteristic of many intrinsic membrane proteins. None of the fragments display a single cooperative transition from ordered structure to random coil suggesting each fragment contains several domains of differing resistance to guanidinium hydrochloride denaturation. The data suggest that the native enzyme has at least three membrane-embedded domains, with an externally accessible link between each.

The pattern of response of the intestinal enzymes Ca2+-activated adenosine triphosphatase and alkaline phosphatase in the chick to 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol is consistent with a role for the former but not the latter enzyme in the vitamin D-dependent absorption of calcium.

Human erythrocyte and bovine brain calmodulins were indistinguishable by tryptic peptide mapping, indicating that the primary sequence of the two proteins is either very similar or identical. Calcium binding determinations of human erythrocyte calmodulin, by equilibrium dialysis and fluorescence titration, were in close agreement with previous studies on other calmodulins. The calcium-activated adenosine triphosphatase which is stimulated by calmodulin was shown to be firmly associated with smooth erythrocyte plasma membranes devoid of spectrin and actin. Kinetic titration demonstrated that there are 4500 calmodulin binding sites per erythrocyte and that the turnover number of this calcium-activated adenosine triphosphatase is 3000 mumol of Pi . (mumol of site)-1 . min-1 which is similar to the turnover numbers of other transport adenosine triphosphatases. Furthermore, calmodulin stimulates calcium-activated adenosine triphosphatase by a simple enzyme-ligand association.

Nasal biopsy specimens were obtained from 5 normal subjects and from 7 patients with immotile cilia syndrome. Of the latter, 3 had Kartagener's syndrome, one had Kartagener's forme fruste, and 3 had bronchiectasis and sinusitis. An in vitro motility test was used to assess ciliary movement. Exogenous adenosine triphosphate and adenosine triphosphatase activated the immotile cilia to levels equal to or slightly greater than the spontaneous activity seen in normal subjects. Absence of dynein arms on ciliary peripheral microtubule doublets was a consistent finding in the patients' specimens and is suggested to be the basic defect in this syndrome that is responsible for immotility and absence of mucociliary clearance.

Distinct morphological regions, initial, middle and terminal segments, were distinguishable histologically; the middle segment was further subdivided into proximal, intermediated and distal parts. PAS-positive, diastase-resistant reaction was detected in the blood vessels, subepithelial tissue and stereocilia of all segments. Acid phosphatase was demonstrated in the epithelial cells with the highest activity being in the proximal part of the middle segment. Non-specific esterase gave a similar reaction but the strongest activity was in the terminal segment. Alkaline phosphatase, adenosine triphosphatase and adenosine monophosphatase were of similar activity in the subepithelial tissue, blood vessels, stereocilia and luminal contents; the strongest reaction occurred in the middle segment. Lactate, succinate, glutamate and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenases were examined; LDH was more active than the others particularly in the terminal segment. Some reaction was found in the epithelial cells, subepithelial tissue and luminal contents.
