The steady-state kinetics of the K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+-activated adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activities of rabbit skeletal myosin were investigated in the substrate concentration range from 0.05 microM to 5 mM and found not to follow Michaelis-Menten kinetics but rather to display biphasic behavior. The Ca2+-ATPase activity of myosin chymotryptic subfragment-1 (S-1), which has only one active site, also exhibits biphasic kinetics, thus excluding the possibility that the biphasic behavior is caused by negative cooperativity between the two active sites of myosin. Myosin K+ and Mg2+-ATPase are both activated by 5'-adenyl methylenediphosphonate (AdoPP[CH2]P) in a competitive manner at high substrate concentrations; i.e. the maximal velocity observed at high substrate concentrations is independent of the AdoPP[CH2]P concentration. This result provides evidence for substrate activation via binding to a regulatory site. Pyrophosphate inhibits myosin ATPase in a competitive manner at low substrate concentrations and in an uncompetitive manner at high substrate concentrations, with the uncompetitive Ki being smaller than the competitive Ki; i.e. pyrophosphate binds more tightly to the effector site than to the active site.

Pyrophosphate, p-nitrophenyl phosphate and a variety of pyrimidine and purine nucleotides are hydrolyzed by the solubilized membrane-bound enzymes of the brush border plasma membrane of Hymenolepis diminuta. The pH optima (or ranges) for hydrolysis of substrates are 8.0 (pyrophosphate), 8.8 (p-nitrophenyl phosphate), 8.4-8.9 (nucleoside monophosphates), and 7.1-8.1 (nucleoside triphosphates); all substrates, with the exception of nucleoside triphosphates, have a higher affinity for the solubilized enzyme at pH 7.4 than at their optimal pH for hydrolysis. ATP is degraded completely by the enzyme preparation to adenosine and inorganic phosphate, but since neither ADP nor ATP accumulate in the incubation medium it is not known whether ATP hydrolysis involves the sequential hydrolysis of terminal phosphate groups. Isoelectric focusing and various chromatographic procedures (gel permeation, ion-exchange and hydrophobic interaction chromatography) fail to separate the alkaline phosphatase, phosphodiesterase, 5'-nucleotidase, adenosine triphosphatase and ribonuclease activities associated with the solubilized membrane preparation. Additionally, inhibitor studies indicate that only a single enzyme with low substrate specificity is involved in the hydrolysis of nucleotides, p-nitrophenyl phosphate, pyrophosphate and hexose phosphate esters. Purines and pyrimidines and their nucleosides interact with the active site, and in some instances activity of the enzyme is stimulated by an unknown mechanism.

Proton pump (H(+)/K(+)-adenosine triphosphatase) inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used to treat patients with acid-related disorders because they are generally perceived to be safe and effective. However, as with any pharmacologic agent, they have the potential for side effects. Many studies have examined the side effects of long-term or short-term PPI exposure. We review the mechanism of action of PPIs, focusing on recently released products that might have greater risks of adverse effects than older products because of increased potency and/or duration of action. We summarize the data available on the putative adverse effects of PPI therapy and propose guidelines for clinicians who prescribe these agents to limit the potential for adverse outcomes in users of these effective therapeutic agents.
