1. Subcellular fractions obtained from epimastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi, disrupted by three different procedures, contained in addition to the already known Mg2+-activated adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase; E.C.3.6.1.4), a Ca2+-ATPase activity. 2. The Ca2+-ATPase (a) was activated by low concentrations of CaCl2 (apparent Ka, 80 microM); (b) had a Km for ATP of 0.6 mM (at 1 mM CaCl2, pH 8.0); (c) presented a broad pH curve (optimum 7.1-8.6); and (d) was insensitive to oligomycin concentrations which inhibited the Mg2+-ATPase present in the same preparations. 3. All attempts to find a (Na+-K+)-activated, ouabain-inhibited, ATPase have been unsuccessful, in spite of the fact that living epimastigoes of T. cruzi are able to concentrate K+ and exclude Na+ from the medium.

1. Grinding of epimastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi with glass powder in a mortar yielded a Mg2+-activated adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) preparation which was highly sensitive to oligomycin. 2. Chloroform treatment of the particles resulted in the solubilization of an ATPase which was (a) activated by MgCl2; (b) slightly inhibited by CaCl2; (c) activated by sulphite and bisulphite; (d) had an optimum pH of 7.6; and (e) had a Km for ATP of 2.1 mM (in the presence of 4 mM MgCl2). 3. The solubilized enzyme was insensitive to oligomycin and leucinostatin, which inhibited the membrane-bound ATPase, though inhibited by efrapeptin and quercetin. 4. The results indicate that the chloroform-extracted enzyme is a soluble F1-ATPase similar to those isolated from mammalian mitochondria.

Plasma membranes were isolated from the yeast and mycelial forms of Candida albicans as described previously (Marriott, 1975) and examined for the presence of several enzymes. Measurement of specific activities showed enrichment of Mg2+-dependent and Ma+/K+-stimulated Mg2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase and mannan synthetase, in the plasma membrane fractions from both morphological forms of the organism. However, acid and alkaline phosphatase, NADH oxidase and 5'-nucleotidase showed no such specific location.

From transient kinetic studies of the Mg2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase of myosin subfragment 1, prepared from rabbit skeletal muscle, a seven-step mechanism has been proposed. Features of this mechanism include two-step processes for ATP and ADP binding in which the binary complex isomerizes in addition to a rapid nucleotide association step. In the case of ATP a large negative standard free energy change is associated with the isomerization. An overall rate-limiting isomerization of the myosin-product complex prior to product release has been identified. Studies on the mechanism of cleavage of ATP bound to the active site indicate the process is readily reversible and can account for the observation that more than one oxygen of the product phosphate arises from water. This proposal has been substantiated by the finding that the oxygen atoms of the gamma-phosphoryl group of bound ATP also undergo extensive exchange with water.

The effect of the boiled supernatant on synaptosomal adenyl cyclase activity of rat cerebral cortex was investigated. The boiled supernatant markedly increased the accumulation of cyclic AMP in synaptosomes when added to adenyl cyclase system by a mechanism presumably unrelated to inhibition of cyclic AMP phosphod iesterase or adenosine triphosphatase. Magnesium ion was required for synaptosomal adenyl cyclase activity and its stimulation by the boiled supernatant. The result discerned by doubl reciprocal plots showed an increase in Vmax value of adenyl cyclase by addition of the boiled supernatant without significantly altering the affinity for substrate. The enzyme activity was not stimulated by dopamine, histamine and serotonin in either the absence and presence of the boiled supernatant.

1. A series of defined peptides which span the complete sequence were produced from troponin I isolated from white skeletal muscle of the rabbit. 2. Two peptides, CF1 (residues 64-133) and CN4 (residues 96-117) inhibited the Mg2+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase of desensitized actomyosin. This inhibition was potentiated by tropomyosin and the Mg2+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase of desensitized actomyosin. This inhibition, unlike that of troponin I and peptides derived from it, was not potentiated by tropomyosin. 4. The most active inhibitor, peptide CN4, was 45-75% as effective as troponin I when compared on a molar basis. The inhibitory peptide, CN4, and also whole troponin I were shown by affinity chromatography to interact specifically with actin. 5. A strong interaction with troponin C was demonstrated with peptide CF2 (residues 1-47), from the N-terminal region of troponin I. Somewhat weaker interactions were shown with peptides CN5 (residues 1-21) and with the inhibitory peptide CN4. 6. The significance of these interactions for the mechanisms of action of troponin I is discussed.

5' -Nucleotidase activity was determined in rat thyroid and some other organs employing a specific assay method. During the course of methylthiouracil (MTU) treatment, thyroid 5'-nucleotidase activity decreased significantly. This decrease was specific for this enzyme since the activity of neutral phosphatase did not change and the activity of alkaline phosphatase and Mg2+-activated adenosine triphosphatase increased markedly. The 5'-nucleotidase activity of the adenohypophysis also decreased following MTU treatment. This enzyme activity of the liver, heart and whole brain remained unchanged after the treatment. The role of this enzyme was discussed in relation to tissue growth and increased contents of RNA and DNA in the thyroid and adenohypophysis.

1. Incubation of human and rat hepatoma cells with insulin (1 mU/10(6) cells) decreases their content of adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate by more than half after 1 h and by about a quarter after 4 h. 2. The activities of the ATP-metabolising enzymes, adenylate kinase and Mg2+-adenosine triphosphatase are significantly increased by insulin within 1 h and after 4 h. Activity of succinate dehydrogenase and lactic dehydrogenase showed no change at either time interval. 3. Insulin markedly stimulated glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity within 1 h but by 4 h the increase was less apparent. Glutamate dehydrogenase activity by contrast was not increased by 1 h but was elevated at 4 h.

1. Enzymes, proteins, glycoproteins and lipids of rodent bile were compared with those of a plasma-membrane subfraction originating from the hepatocyte bile-canalicular membrane. 2. Three bile-canalicular glycoprotein enzyme activities were detected in bile. Comparison of the pH optimum and immunoinhibition properties of membrane and bile 5'-nucleotidase activity indicated that they were the same enzyme. Correspondence between membrane and bile alkaline phosphodiesterases also suggested that they were the same enzymes. Activities of Mg2+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase, a lipid-dependent intrinsic membrane protein, and galactosyltransferase, a Golgi membrane marker, were not detected in bile. 3. Rodent bile contained 15 polypeptide bands that differed radically from those of bile-canalicular membranes. Bands that may correspond in molecular weight to liver plasma-membrane glycoproteins were present at low staining intensities in bile. A major protein of apparent molecular weight 49 500 was present, and albumin was detected by immunodiffusion. 4. The lipid composition of bile and bile-canalicular membrane also differed. Phosphatidylcholine accounted for 82% of rat bile phospholipids, and only trace amounts of phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylserine and sphingomyelin were present. 5. The results indicate that in healthy animals, the bile-canalicular membrane is refractory to the action of bile acids during the secretory process. The presence of only small amounts of bile-canalicular membrane components, especially glycoprotein enzymes located at the outer face of the membrane, suggests that these are released from the membrane by bile acids after secretion of bile into the canalicular spaces.

Membrane vesicles of Escherichia coli prepared by osmotic lysis of lysozyme ethylenediaminetetracetate (EDTA) spheroplasts have approximately 60% of the total membrane-bound reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) dehydrogenase (ED 1.6.99.3) and Mg2+-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) (EC 3.6.1.3) activities exposed on the outer surface of the inner membrane. Absorption of these vesicles with antiserum prepared against the purified soluble Mg2+-ATPase resulted in agglutination of approximately 95% of the inner membrane vesicles, as determined by dehydrogenase activity, and about 50% of the total membrane protein. The unagglutinated vesicles lacked all dehydrogenase activity and may consist of outer membrane. Lysozyme-EDTA vesicles actively transported calcium ion, using either NADH or adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) as energy source. However, neither D-lactate nor reduced phenazine methosulfate energized calcium uptake, suggesting that the observed calcium uptake was not due to a small population of everted vesicles. Transport of calcium driven by either NADH or ATP was inhibited by simultaneous addition of D-lactate or reduced phenazine methosulfate. Proline transport driven by D-lactate oxidation was inhibited by either NADH oxidation or ATP hydrolysis. These results suggest that the portion of the total population of vesicles capable of active transport, i.e., the inner membrane vesicles, are functionally a homogeneous population but cannot be categorized as either right-side-out or everted, since activities normally associated with only one side of the inner membrane can be found on both sides of the membrane of these vesicles. Moreover, the data indicate that oxidation of NADH or hydrolysis of ATP by externally localized NADH dehydrogenase or Mg2+-ATPase establishes a protonmotive force of the opposite polarity from that established through D-lactate oxidation.
