1. The function of mitochondria, sarcotubular membranes (heavy microsomes), sarcolemma and myofibrils from the hind-leg skeletal muscle of about 60- and 150-day-old normal and myopathic (UM-X7.1) hamsters was examined. 2. The mitochondrial calcium uptake as well as mitochondrial phosphorylation and respiratory rates were lower in 60-day-old myopathic skeletal muscle, unlike 150-day-old myopathic animals, when pyruvate-malate and glutamate-malate were used as substrates. However, mitochondria from 150-day-old myopathic animals showed depressed glutamate-dependent respiratory and phosphorylation rates and succinate-supported initial rate of calcium uptake. 3. The microsomal calcium-uptake, but not calcium-binding, and Ca2+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity of the 150-day-old myopathic skeletal muscle were lower than the control values. Although microsomal calcium-binding, calcium-uptake and ATPase activities of the 60-day-old myopathic muscle were not depressed significantly, the initial rate of calcium uptake was less than the control. 4. The sarcolemmal Ca2+-ATPase, but not Mg2+-ATPase or Na+ +K+-ATPase, activity was higher in 60-day-old myopathic muscle whereas the activities of all these enzymes from 150-day-old myopathic animals were higher than the control. On the other hand, the Na+ +K+-ATPase activities from 60- and 150-day-old myopathic animals were inhibited by ouabain to a lesser extent in comparison with the respective control values. 5. The myofibrillar Ca2+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase activities as well as inhibition of Mg2+-ATPase due to Na+ and K+ in myopathic muscle were no different from the control values. 6. The results reported here give further support to the view that different membrane systems of the dystrophic muscle are defective.

A particulate subcellular fraction from Escherichia coli K-12 induced in anaerobic sn-glycerol 3-phosphate (G3P) dehydrogenase and fumarate reductase can catalyze under anaerobic conditions the transfer of hydrogens from G3P to fumarate, with attendant generation of high-energy phosphate. The phsophorylation process is more sensitive than the transhydrogenation process to inhibition by the detergent Triton X-100. The same is true with respect to sensitivity to sodium azide, carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone and N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Such a preparation derived from cells with beta-galactoside permease can accumulate thiomethyl beta-D-galactoside anaerobically, and the accumulation can be stimulated twofold by adding G3P and fumarate. Mutants lacking the membrane-associated Mg2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase cannot grow anaerobically on glycerol with fumarate as the hydrogen acceptor, although they can grow aerobically on glycerol alone.

The specific activity of sodium-potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase in the mucosa of the colon rises when the dietary load of potassium is increased. The change in enzymatic activity depends on the presence of intact adrenal glands, since adrenalectomy abolishes the response of Na-K-ATPase to potassium loading. The increased secretory rate of aldosterone normally evoked by potassium loading appears to mediate at least in part of the effect of potassium loading, since aldosterone induces a discernible increase in the specific activity of Na-K-ATPase in the colon of adrenalectomized rats.

Mesonephroi of sheep embryos ranging from 12 to 100 mm C.R. length were examined for the occurrence and localization of transport-ATPase. Native cryostat sections were incubated according to the technique of Guth and Albers for demonstrating the nitrophenylphosphatase activity of Mg2+-Na+-K+-adenosine triphosphatase. The basal cytoplasm of the collecting tubule of the narrow segment of the distal tubule exhibit strong activity, the wide segment of the distal tubule is moderately active. Glomeruli, proximal tubule, and Wolffian duct remain unstained. The basal labyrinths of the reactive nephron segments are believed to be the sites of a Na+-K+ exchange pump. In mature and regressing mesonephroi, the findings fully agree with biochemical data; in maturating mesonephroi, whose basal labyrinth is not yet fully established, the biochemical assay proves to be more sensitive. The specifity of the reaction was ascertained by diverse inhibitors and activating ions. The localization of Mg2+-ATPase is different to the above mentioned reaction pattern, as it shows moderate activity in the proximal tubule, too (mature mesonephros). Mesonephroi of very young embryos exhibit strongest Mg2+-ATPase activity in the proximal tubule; here the distal and collecting tubule stain only moderately.

1. The effects of anticonvulsants, and other drugs on the Na+, K+-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) (ouabain-sensitive) and Mg++-ATPase activities of synaptosomes and their components have been determined. 2. The Mg++-ATPase activity of synaptosomes was not affected by the drugs but the Na+, K+-ATPase activity was inhibited by phenytoin (diphenylhydantoin), ethosuximide and diazepam. 3. Fractions containing mainly membranes, mitochondria or synaptic vesicles, were prepared from synaptosomes by osmotic shock and subsequent density gradient centrifugation. Inhibition of Na+, K+-ATPase activity by phenytoin, ethosuximide and diazepam was apparent only in the membrane fraction. 4. The fraction containing synaptic vesicles exhibited pronounced Md++-ATPase but no Na+, K+-ATPase activity. In contrast to the enzymes of the membranes and mitochondria, the Mg++-ATPase of the vesicles was inhibited by diazepam and all of the anticonvulsants tested.

Vasodilator responses to acute intra-arterial infusions of K+ are attenuated in dogs with chronic one-kidney perinephritic hypertension in rats with chronic two-kidney Goldblatt hypertension, and in men with essential hypertension. There is evidence that K+ evokes vasodilation by stimulating vascular smooth muscle membrane Na+-K+-activated adenosine triphosphatase, thereby increasing activity of the cellular Na+-K+ electrogenic pump. We therefore proposed that there may be an underlying decrease in the operation of this pump in vascular smooth muscle of hypertensives. The operation of the cellular Na+-K+ pump may be estimated by measurement of rubidium uptake. Thus, so further investigate our hypothesis, we measured 86Rb uptake in small mesenteric arteries and splanchnic veins from 12 dogs with chronic uncomplicated one-kidney perinephritic hypertension and from 12 normotensive control dogs. Vessels were excised under thiamylal anesthesia and incubated in cold medium (plasma or Krebs-Henseleit solution) for sodium loading and then the velocity of 86Rb uptake was estimated in the absence of or in the presence of ouabain, a specific inhibitor of the Na+-K+ pump. In neither arteries nor veins was there evidence for differences between hypertensives and normotensives in the ouabain-insensitive uptake of 86Rb. In contrast, the ouabain-sensitive 86Rb uptake was depressed by 42% in arteries (P less than 0.05) and by 49% in veins (P less than 0.01) from hypertensive dogs, if incubated in the dog's own plasma. These results indicate that the activity of a ouabain-sensitive Na+-K+ pump may be depressed in vascular tissue from dogs with chronic one-kidney perinephritic hypertension. Because the Na+-K+ pump in vascular smooth muscle is probably electrogenic, such an abnormality, by partially depolarizing the muscle cell membrane, would help to account for the elevated vascular resistance found in these dogs.

The nature of the protein components and their location in the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane were studied using sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles isolated from rat skeletal muscle and purified by a density gradient centrifugation system. On the basis of analysis by means of sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis, the protein components appear to be similar if not identical with those reported by others for rabbit sarcoplasmic reticulum, and the relative amount of each component is also similar to that found with rabbit sarcoplasmic reticulum. Evidence is presented that radioiodine-labeled diazotized diiodosulfanilic acid is a nonpermeant labeling agent of the protein components of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles; this agent minimally disturbs the functional activities of these membranes. By means of this labeling agent and perturbing agents, it is concluded that the protein components with molecular weights greater than 120,000 and the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-adenosine triphosphatase partially or totally reside on or at the external surface of the sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles. In the case of the adenosine triphosphatase, highly controlled trypsin treatment cleaves the molecule into two products, a 65,000 molecular weight fragment and a 56,000 molecular weight fragment. The evidence indicates that the 65,000 molecular weight component of the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-adenosine triphosphatase is located in a more exposed fashion on the external surface of the vesicles than the 56,000 molecular weight compoenet and that some adenosine triphosphatase molecules have a more exposed position on the external surface of the vesicle than others. The protein components designated by MacLennan (MacLennan, D. H. (1975) Can. J. Biochem. 53, 251-261) as "calsequestrin" and "high affinity Ca2+ binding protein" are shown not to be on the external surface of the rat sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicle but rather to reside either within the core of the membrane or on the inside surface of the vesicle. The results of this study are in agreement with the model for the organization of the protein components of the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrene recently proposed by MacLennan (MacLennan, D. H. (1975) Can. J. Biochem. 53, 251-261).

1. The effect of treating rats with digoxin and thyroxine for 45 days has been studied. 2. Animals fed with digoxin gained significantly more weight than the control animals. 3. Treatment with digoxin, thyroxine or both produced a similar significant increase in the amount of Na+ + K+ -dependent adenosine triphosphatase in liver without an additive effect. 4. It is suggested that digoxin resistance in thyrotoxicosis may be related to this similarity in action.

Mg-dependent and (Na+ + K+)-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase (ATP-ase) activities were assayed in butanol extracts of duodenal tissue from germ-free, specific-pathogen-free, and ex-germfree mice associated with an indigenous microflora from specific-pathogen-free mice. In the germfree mice the levels of both ATPase activities were significantly higher than the levels in specific-pathogen-free mice. By contrast, the ex-germfree animals colonized by an entire indigenous microflora, the values fell to levels close to those for specific-pathogen-free animals. (Na+ + K+)-stimulated ATPase was not inhibited by ouabain in extracts from any of the three kinds of mice. These findings show that the indigenous microbial flora influences the intestinal ATPase activity of mice and, because of the connection between (Na+ + K+-stimulate ATPase and active transpoort, undoubtedly affects the process of absorption in the intestinal tract.

Membranes were isolated and purified from nutrient broth-yeast extract- and hexadecane-grown cells of Acinetobacter sp. strain HO1-N. Two membrane fractions were isolated from nutrient broth-yeast extract-grown cells, the cytoplasmic membrane and the outer membrane. In addition to these two membrane fractions, a unique membrane fraction was isolated from hexadecane-grown cells (band 1) and characterized as a lipid-rich, low-density membrane containing high concentrations of hexadecane. The outer membrane preparations of Acinetobacter, obtained from nutrient broth-yeast extract- and hexadecane-grown cells, exhibited a low ratio of lipid phosphorus to protein and contained phospholipase activity and 2-keto-3-deoxyoctulosonic acid. Phosphatidic acid cytidyltransferase, adenosine triphosphatase, and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide oxidase were recovered almost exclusively in the cytoplasmic membrane fractions. The cytoplasmic membrane fractions contained 20 to 25 polypeptide species on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, and the outer membrane fractions contained 15 to 20 polypeptide species. A major polypeptide species with an apparent molecular weight of approximately 42,000 to 44,000 was found for all outer membrane fractions. The buoyant densities of the cytoplasmic membrane fractions and the outer membrane fractions were closely similar, necessitating their separation by differential centrifugation. Band 1 of hexadecane-grown cells had a ratio of lipid phosphorus to protein that was almost twice that of cytoplasmic membrane and a correspondingly low buoyant density (1.086 g/cm3). Enzyme activities associated with band 1 were identical to those associated with the cytoplasmic membrane. The electrophoretic banding pattern of band 1 was essentially identical to the banding pattern of the cytoplasmic membrane. The phospholipid and neutral lipid compositions of the isolated membrane fractions were determined as qualitatively similar, with significant quantitative differences. The ultrastructure characteristics of the respective membrane fractions were examined by the negative-stain technique.
