1. The activity of the ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) of phosphorylating particles prepared by sonication of bovine heart mitochondria in the presence of MgCl2 and ATP is influenced by the isolation method for the mitochondria used in the preparation of particles. Type-I particles, made from mitochondria isolated in a medium lacking succinate, have a lower ATPase activity than to Type-II particles, which are prepared from mitochondria isolated in a medium containing succinate. 2. Centrifugation under appropriate energized conditions increases the ATPase activity of Type-I particles almost to that of the Type-II particles. The ATPase activity of Type-II particles was only slightly stimulated by this procedure. These data are interpreted as indicating a higher content of the ATPase-inhibitor protein in the Type-I particles. 3. A comparison was made of the ATP-driven enhancement of 8-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulphonate fluorescence and the exchange of the endogenous tightly bound nucleotides of the ATPase in Type-I and Type-II particles. The effect of exogenous inhibitor protein on both these reactions was also studied. 4. The time-scale on which the inhibitor protein can exchange between ATPase molecules is discussed.

In order to learn whether the kinetics of transient phosphorylation of sodium plus potassium ion transport adenosine triphosphatase was compatible with the hydrolysis of ATP, computer simulation of experimental data was studied. The enzyme mechanism was described in terms of first order and pseudo-first order reactions. The resulting system of linear first order differential equations was solved by a Runge-Kutta method. Phosphorylation kinetics was studied by means of a rapid mixing apparatus at 21 degrees in the presence of 100 micron ATP, 3 mM MgCl2, 120 mM NaCl, and 10 mM KCl. Computer simulation gave a close fit to experimental data with a model of the reaction mechanism which included a sequence of two dephospho forms and two phospho forms of the enzyme. With this model, rate constants obtained by computer simulation were in agreement with constants which had been determined in separate phosphorylation and dephosphorylation experiments. Within experimental limits, the net flux of reaction in each partial step was compatible with the (Na+,K+)-stimulated hydrolysis of ATP (about 324 and 300 nmol-mg-1-min-1, respectively).

The steady state kinetics of ATP hydrolysis by partially purified adenosine triphosphatase preparations of sarcoplasmic reticulum was investigated at 0 degrees C and pH 7.0 in 2.0 mM MgCl2, 20 microM [gamma-32P]ATP, 20 microM CaCl2, and various concentrations of KCl in the presence and absence of 12% dimethyl sulfoxide. The steady state phosphoenzyme formed under these conditions could be resolved kinetically into ADP-sensitive and ADP-insensitive forms. These steady state kinetic data were analyzed according to a scheme in which the ADP-sensitive and ADP-insensitive phosphoenzymes occur sequentially, and Pi is derived from the latter. The KCl-dependent turnover rate of the ADP-insensitive phosphoenzyme that was estimated according to this scheme was in good agreement with the directly measured hydrolysis rate constant of the ADP-insensitive phosphoenzyme. In addition, the time course of the decomposition of the total amount of phosphoenzyme, measured after a steady state level was reached in 20 mM KCl and further phosphorylation was prevented by addition of excess ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid, was also in agreement with that calculated according to this scheme using values of the rate constants estimated from the amounts of the ADP-sensitive and ADP-insensitive phosphoenzymes and the rate of ATP hydrolysis. These results, together with our previous findings, support the view that this scheme describes the mechanism of ATP hydrolysis in the presence of KCl.

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.

Pb2+-stimulated phosphorylation of Electrophorus electricus electroplax (Na+ + K+)-adenosine triphosphatase is prevented by stoichiometric quantities of 2,3-dimercaptopropanol. The chelator in the same low concentrations does not block Na+-dependent phosphorylation. Both Pb2+-and Na+-dependent phosphorylation reactions show the same dependence on MgCl2. Phosphorylation in the presence of both Na+ and Pb2+ is cumulative suggesting that Pb2+ and Na+ bind at separate, independent sites. The enthalpy change due to binding of Pb2+ is about -1.76 kcal/mol. 32P-phosphopeptides obtained from pronase or pepsin digests of Pb2+-and Na+-dependent phosphoproteins are electrophoretically identical. Pb2+ does not stimulate but does inhibit ATP-ADP exchange activity under the conditions in which this activity is stimulated by Na+. Since the phosphorylation sites are identical, it is concluded that the differences in reactivity of the Na+- and Pb2+-phosphoenzymes are due to different conformational changes produced by binding of Na+ and Pb2+. The Pb2+-sensitive conformation is critical for Na+ specificity of phosphorylation, reversibility of phosphorylation, and for phosphatase activity but not for acceptor site phosphorylation by ATP. These findings have implications for enzyme reaction models.

The rats were given potassium bichromate (K2Cr2O7) in dose of 2 and 5 mg/kg of body weight and magnesium chloride (MgCl2) in dose of 500 mg/kg for a period of 30 days. The two compounds were also given conjointly (K2Cr2O7-5 mg+MgCl2-500 mg). There were carried out histopathological as well as histochemical examinations of acid phosphatase activity, alkaline phosphatase activity and adenosine triphosphatase activity in the liver. With small doses (2 mg) of potassium bichromate no changes have been stated. With larger doses (5 mg) of potassium bichromate an increase of histochemical reaction to acid phosphatase as well as forming of histopathological changes such as parenchymatous degeneration, steatosis of hepatocytes and their necrobiosis have been observed. There has not been found any protective action of magnesium chloride on the cytotoxic activity of potassium bichromate on the liver cell.

The outer membranes (OMs) from serovars a, b, and c of Treponema denticola, originally isolated from periodontal patients, were prepared. Dialysis of the OMs against 20 mM MgCl2 yielded the aggregable (A) and the nonaggregable (NA) moieties of the OMs. The absence of muramic acid, adenosine triphosphatase, hexokinase, and nucleic acid as well as electron microscopy indicated that the OM preparations were homogeneous. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the A and NA moieties of the OMs showed approximately 25 Coomassie brilliant blue R-250 stain-positive bands or 47 silver-stained polypeptides. The relative molecular masses ranged between 14 and 97 kDa. The electrophoretic polypeptide profiles of the A and NA moieties shared many similarities among serovars a, b, and c. However, they exhibited variation in the overall pattern, intensity, or location of the polypeptide stained zones. This was especially true for serovar b. Two-dimensional electrophoretic studies showed an excess of 100 silver-stained spots with isoelectric points of 4.6 to 7.0 and relative molecular masses in the 14- to 97-kDa range. The OMs contained simple proteins, glycoproteins, and lipoproteins. The NA moieties of the OMs contained 4 to 6, 10 to 12, and 4 to 6 glycopeptides as well as two, seven, and two lipoprotein bands for serovars a, b, and c, respectively. The A moieties of the OMs showed 7 to 9, 11 to 13 and 5 to 6 glycopeptides as well as four, five, and three lipoprotein bands for serovars a, b, and c, respectively. Lipopolysaccharide was detected in the OMs of the three serovars following removal of proteins with proteinase K, pronase and silver staining of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, or removal of lipopolysaccharide from the OMs by hot phenol extraction. The 66- and 53-kDa bands were present in serovars b and c, while a band with a relative molecular mass of 45 kDa was present only in serovar c. Endotoxin-like activity was also shown in the OMs of the three serovars by the Limulus amebocyte clotting assay and the chick embryo lethality test. This is the first report on selected biochemical properties of the OM macromolecules of three known serovars of T. denticola.

We employed a modification of our previously reported cerium-based cytochemical method for ouabain-sensitive, K-dependent p-nitrophenylphosphatase (Na-K ATPase) activity to detect ouabain-insensitive, K-stimulated p-nitrophenylphosphatase (K-pNPPase) activity in rat gastric glands. Biochemically, the enzyme activity of gastric glands incubated in a medium containing 50 mM Tricine buffer (pH 7.5), 50 mM KCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 2 mM CeCl3, 2 mM p-nitrophenylphosphate (pNPP), 2.5 mM levamisole, 10 mM ouabain, and 0.00015% Triton X-100, was optimal at pH 7.5-8.0 and decreased above pH 8.5. The amount of p-nitrophenol after incubation increased linearly in proportion to the amount of tissue in the medium. The enzyme activity was inhibited by omeprazole, sodium flouride (NaF), N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD). Heat-treated specimens had no enzyme activity. The enzyme activity increased with addition of K ions up to the concentration of 50 mM, and became constant above 50 mM. Cytochemically, the parietal cells of the gastric glands reacted positively for ouabain-insensitive K-pNPPase activity. Intense reaction was observed at the microvilli of the luminal surface and the intracellular canaliculi. The tubulovesicular system showed weak enzyme activity. The reaction products were found as fine, granular, electron-dense deposits in the cytoplasm just beneath the plasma membrane. The ouabain-insensitive K-pNPPase activity detected in this study appears, therefore, to be associated with that of H-transporting, K-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase (H-K ATPase).

Sodium and potassium ion-transport adenosine triphosphatase from dog kidney was incubated with 0.4-2 mM Ca2+ at 23 degrees C for more than 2 min in the absence of monovalent inorganic cations, cooled to 0 degrees C, and phosphorylated from 1 mM Pi with 2.4 mM MgCl2. The resultant phosphoenzyme resembled that obtained by incubating the enzyme with K+ in place of Ca2+ in six respects. It was concluded that Ca2+ can occupy the monovalent cation-binding center for K+. The rate constant for release of Ca2+ from the dephosphoenzyme at 0 degrees C was 0.17 s-1. The rate of release from the phosphoenzyme was at least 7-fold slower. Phosphorylation stabilized the binding of Ca2+ to the enzyme in contrast to its destabilization of the corresponding K X enzyme complex. K-sensitive phosphoenzyme did not respond to free Ca2+. Thus Ca2+ was not easily accepted by nor released from the phosphoenzyme and would not be an effective substrate for transport. A selective barrier against Ca2+ between the monovalent cation binding center and the extracellular solution is proposed. Release of calcium from the dephosphoenzyme yielded a conformation that was not phosphorylated from Pi. The enzyme changed the conformation of its center for phosphorylation before or at the same time that it changed the conformation of its center for ion transport.

We have developed a new cytochemical method for detecting the ouabain-sensitive, potassium-dependent p-nitrophenylphosphatase (K-NPPase) activity of the sodium-potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase (Na-K ATPase) complex. The incubation medium contains p-nitrophenylphosphate (p-NPP) as substrate, cerium chloride as capture agent, Tricine buffer, MgCl2, and KCl. Tricine buffer protected against the medium turbidity caused by non-enzymatic reaction at pH 7.5. Biochemically, the accumulation of p-nitrophenol and phosphate in the reaction precipitate was proportionally related to the enzyme concentration. Ultracytochemically, the reaction products of the K-NPPase activity were localized as fine and uniform electron-dense deposits in the cytoplasmic side of specialized basolateral plasma membranes of cells of kidney distal convoluted tubules, secretory cells of salt gland, and marginal cells of stria vascularis. This method has the advantage of being useful at physiological pH.
