The early kinetic steps of actomyosin subfragment 1 (acto-S1) adenosine triphosphatase have been investigated by simultaneous monitoring of fluorescence and light scattering and also by observation of the time course of the production of phosphate. The results show that fluorescence enhancement occurs after the dissociation of actomyosin and that the rate of enhancement is similar to the maximum rate of enhancement for S1 alone, under similar conditions of pH and temperature. The maximum rate of the phosphate burst for acto S1 is also approximately the same as that for S1 alone. The maximum rates for fluorescence enhancement or phosphate formation are reached at much lower adenosine triphosphate concentrations for acto-S1 than for S1. An extension of the actomyosin scheme is presented which accounts for these results.

Rate constants were determined for the reaction of actin with subfragment 1 (S1), S1-product complex, heavy meromyosin (HMM), and HMM-products complex for a range of temperatures, pH's, and ionic strengths. For actin concentrations up to 10 muM, the rate of reassociation of the product intermediate was equal to the rate of actomyosin subfragment 1 (acto-S1) or acto-HMM adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase). Therefore, under these conditions, the only important pathway for adenosine triphosphate hydrolysis is through the dissociation and recombination of S1 or HMM. The apparent rate constants for the association of S1 and S1-product with actin showed a similar large ionic strength dependence. The S1-product reaction had a large temperature dependence paralleling the rate of acto-S1 ATPase, while the reaction with S1 had a much smaller variation with temperature. The low value of the rate constant for the S1-product reaction and its relationship to the s1 areaction suggests that the apparent rate constant does not measure a simple second-order reaction. A plausible mechanism is a rapid equilibrium for the binding step, followed by a transition (product release) which increases the association constant. A refractory state could also reduce the apparent rate constant of recombination. An approximate assignment of equilibrium constants for the acto-S1 ATPase reaction was made based on the interpretation of the present evidence and equilibrium constnats for the S1 ATPase.

The membrane-bound adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity of Acholeplasma laidlawii B differs in many respects from the common (Mg2+, Ca2+)-ATPase activity of higher bacteria, most notably in that it is specifically activated by Mg2+ and strongly and specifically stimulated by Na+ (or Li+). Various inhibitors diminish the ATPase activity with a concentration dependence which suggests that a single enzyme species is responsible for all of the observed ATP hydrolytic activity (both basal and Na+ stimulated). The Km for ATP is influenced by temperature but not by membrane lipid fatty acid composition. Vmax is influenced by both of these factors, showing a break in Arrhenius plots which falls below the lipid phase transition midpoint but well above the lower boundary when a phase transition occurs within the temperature range studied. The apparent energy of activation for Vmax is strongly influenced by lipid fatty acid composition both above and below the break. When whole cells of A. laidlawii B are incubated in KCl or NaCl buffers, they rapidly swell and lyse if deprived of an energy source or treated with ATPase inhibitors at concentrations which significantly inhibit enzyme activity in isolated membranes, whereas in sucrose or MgSO4 buffers of equal osmolarity, the cells are stable under these conditions. These results suggest that the membrane ATPase of A. laidlawii B is intimately associated with the membrane lipids and that it functions as a monovalent cation pump which regulates intracellular osmolarity as the (Na+, K+)-ATPase does in eucaryotes.

Homogenates of Tritrichomonas foetus exhibited a Mg2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity, with a pH optimum in Tris buffers of 8.2 to 8.3. The activity was not sensitive to oxygen. At high concentrations, quercetin and 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan inhibited ATPase activity in the cytoplasmic extract by 20 and 70%, respectively, whereas oligomycin, venturicidin, triethyltin, leucinostatin, dibutylchloromethyltin chloride, spegazzinine, efrapeptin, citreoviridin and sodium azide had no effect and N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide stimulated the activity somewhat. The activity was localized in a population of small cytoplasmic particles which also contained an acid phosphatase. There was no indication of an association of ATPase with hydrogenosomes. The ATPase activity (or activities) in this aerotolerant anaerobe is different from the ATPases characteristic of mitochondria or of anaerobic bacteria.

Sodium glycocholate was shown to remove a Ca2+-activated adenosine triphosphatase from the external surface of the rat mast cell without causing lysis. Sensitized mast cells pretreated with sodium glycocholate showed a decrease in histamine-releasing capacity when triggered with antigen, Synacthen and ATP. Release induced by calcium ionophore A23187 was unaffected.

Transport properties of membrane vesicles isolated from two adenosine triphosphatase-deficient mutants of Escherichia coli, NR70 and DL54, were compared with those of vesicles prepared from the corresponding parental strains. As reported previously (Rosen, 1973; Altendorf et al., 1974), vesicles prepared from these mutants grown under aerobic conditions exhibited defective amino acid transport, and activity was restored after treatment with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. In sharp contrast, however, vesicles isolated from the same mutants grown anaerobically in the presence of nitrate exhibited completely normal transport activity when assayed under either anaerobic or aerobic conditions. Suppression of the transport defect was not due to the manner by which the vesicles were prepared, and the adenosine triphosphatase deficiency was not ameliorated by anaerobic growth in the presence of nitrite. Finally, the transport activity of vesicles prepared from the mutants grown under aerobic conditions was relatively resistant to the effect of 1.0 M guanidine hydrochloride extraction, whereas the activity of vesicles prepared from mutants grown anaerobically was totally refractory to the effect of the chaotrope.

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.

Tissues from mice were fixed in 1.5% glutaraldehyde, treated for the ultrastructural localization of alkaline phosphatase or Mg++-dependent adenosine triphosphatase, post-fixed in osmium tetroxide, dehydrated and embedded in plastic for electron microscopy. The sites of reaction were visualized in 1-mu plastic sections counterstained with toluidine blue, using a phase contrast microscope. The data show a close correlation between the sites of reaction observed with the phase contrast microscope and the sites studied with the electron microscope. The use of this technique for the study of these phosphatases in normal and pathologic tissues is recommended in order to achieve a high degree of accuracy in selecting a portion of the tissue sample for electron microscopy and to obtain greater resolution in the localization of these enzymes with the light microscope.

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.
