A microsomal fraction rich in Na+, K+-ATPase (sodium-plus-potassium ion-dependent adenosine triphosphatase) and the corresponding K+-dependent p-nitrophenyl phosphatase from the rectal salt gland of the spiny dogfish was solubilized by treatment with deoxycholate at high ionic strength. On gel filtration through Sepharose 6B, the ATPase apoenzyme could be separated, in apparently soluble form, from the tissue-fraction phospholipids and was almost free of enzymic activity (2% of the p-nitrophenyl phosphatase activity and 0.2% of the ATPase activity being recovered). On mixing the apoenzyme with an activator consisting of cooked ox brain, a large proportion of the original enzymic activity was obtained. Specific activities of the re-activated enzyme were somewhat higher than in the material before gel filtration: values of 1300-1450 mumol and 250-290 mumol/h per mg of protein were obtained for the hydrolysis of ATP and of p-nitrophenyl phosphate respectively. The activity was inhibitible by ouabain.

To assess the possible role of the Na+ pump in mediating physiological responses to thyroid hormone in the rat myocardium, we examined the effects of L-3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3) on the activities of the closely associated enzymes, Na+-K+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (Na-K-ATPase) and K+-dependent p-nitrophenyl phosphatase (K-dep-pNPPase). In hypothyroid rats, administration of T3 (50 microng/100 g body wt) resulted in significant increases (greater than 50%) in Na-K-ATPase and K-dep-pNPPase activities in both crude homogenates and microsomal fractions of the rat ventricle. Significant effects on Na-K-ATPase activity were also attained with low doses (1 microng/100 g body wt) of T3. A method was developed for assaying K-dep-pNPPase activity in cardiac slices. With this technique, enhancement in K-dep-pNPPase activity of 89.2% was found in ventricle slices after treatment of hypothyroid rats with T3 (50 microng/100 g body wt), implying that augmentation of the capacity of the Na+ pump is achieved in vivo. The potent analogue, L-3,5-diiodo-3' isopropyl thyronine (isopropyl T2) had the same effects on cardiac growth and Na-K-ATPase as T3, in hypothyroid rats. In contrast, the relatively inactive isomer, L-3,3',5'-triiodothyronine (reverse T3) had no significant effect on the heart weight-to-body weight ratio or on ventricular Na-K-ATPase activity.

Inorganic lead ion in micromolar concentrations inhibits Electrophorus electroplax microsomal (Na+ + K+)-adenosine triphosphatase ((Na+ + K+)-ATPase) and K+-p-nitrophenylphosphatase (NPPase). Under the same conditions, the same concentrations of PbCl2 that inhibit ATPase activity also stimulate the phosphorylation of electroplax microsomes in the absence of added Na+. Enzyme activity is protected from inhibition by increasing concentrations of microsomes, ATP, and other metal ion chelators. The kinetics follow the pattern of a reversible noncompetitive inhibitor. No kinetic evidence is elicited for interactions of Pb2+ with Na+, K+, Mg2+, ATP, or p-nitrophenylphosphate. Na+- ATPase, in the absence of K+, and (Na+ + K+)-NPPase activity at low [K+] are also inhibited. ATP inhibition of NPPase is not reversed by Pb2+. The calculated concentrations of free [Pb2+] that produce 50% inhibition are similar for ATPase and NPPase activities. Pb2+ may act at a single independent binding site to produce both stimulation of the kinase and inhibition of the phosphatase activities.

Rubratoxin B, an alpha, beta unsaturated lactone containing bisanhydride metabolite of certain toxigenic strains of penicillium molds, significantly inhibited in vitro brain microsomal Na+ - K+ adenosine triphosphatase from swine, mouse, and rat with IC50's of 6.76, 6.67, and 6.80 x 10(-6) M, respectively. Mitochondrial Mg++ oligomycin-sensitive ATPase from mouse liver was also inhibited with an IC50 of 6.30 x 10(-6) M rubratoxin B. Structural modification of the polyfunctional parent compound (rubratoxin B) to rubratoxin A (a gamma lactol replaces one of the anhydride moieties) or formation of the dihydro analogs of rubratoxins A and B (2,3 saturated delta lactone) decreased inhibition to all ATPase systems. The structure-activity relationship relative to ATPase inhibition was rubratoxin B greater than dihydrorubratoxin B greater than rubratoxin A greater than dihydrorubratoxin A. The order of reactivity by these analogs to brain microsomal Na+ -K+ ATPase from 3 mammalian species and to mouse hepatic mitochondrial Mg++ ATPase was similar, indicating no significant species variations. These results suggest that the previously demonstrated in vivo inhibition of adenosine triphosphatase preparations by rubratoxin B was the result of the intact parent compound, because chemical alteration of any one of the functional moieties (either the maleic anhydride ring or conjugated lactone) resulted in significantly decreased inhibition of ATPase activity.

Dual localization of acid phosphatase in lysosomal and extralysosomal sites of the tubule epithelial cells of normal mouse kidney was observed at the light and electron microscope level using a modified Gomori lead-salt method with p-nitrophenylphosphate (pNPP) as substrate. Based on previous biochemical and cytochemical findings, we developed optimal conditions for the enzyme activity in extralysosomal sites. The conditions used for the light microscopic level consisted of 1.5 mM PNPP, 2.0 MM Pb(NO3)2 and 0.05 M acetate buffer (pH 5.8). Those for the electron microscopic study required 3.0 mM PNPP, 3.6 MM Pb(NO3)2 and 0.1 M acetate buffer (pH 5.8). This modified lead-salt technique was highly specific and provided a suitable method for the demonstration of nonlysosomal as well as lysosomal sites of acid phosphatase activity in the tubule epithelial cells of normal mouse kidney. As expected, the enzyme activity appeared in the lysosomes, but the prominent reaction in the brush border, the rough endoplasmic reticulum and basal infolding plasma membranes was not anticipated. We were able to demonstrate in situ organelle precursors of microsomal acid phosphatase such as endoplasmic reticulum, plasma membrane and basal infolding membranes showing the same substrate preference, which had been observed previously in biochemical studies in our laboratory. Since the possible participation of alkaline phosphatases, K+-pNPPase or Na+-K+-adenosine triphosphatase was ruled out by use of appropriate inhibitors, the enzyme-reactive sites can be interpreted as reflecting nonspecific acid phosphatase.

(Na+ + K+)-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (NaK-ATPase) consists of two polypeptide chains, a large polypeptide with a molecular weight of about 100,000, and a sialoglycoprotein with a molecular weight of about 40,000. Cross-linking of purified NaK-ATPase with the (o-phenanthroline)2-cupric ion complex (CP) results in the reversible formation of dimers, trimers, tetramers, and pentamers of the large polypeptide and loss of NaK-ATPase activity. ATPase activity is partially recovered if NaK-ATPase is incubated with beta-mercaptoethanol after treatment with CP. In contrast to these results, if NaK-ATPase is cross-linked in crude canine kidney microsomes, only a dimer of the large polypeptide is formed. No cross-linking of the sialoglycoprotein to the large polypeptide is detected when NaK-ATPase is cross-linked in purified form. However, when NaK-ATPase is reacted with CP in either purified or microsomal form, the sialoglycoprotein cross-links to itself yielding a high molecular weight aggregate. The results show that the functional subunit structure of NaK-ATPase consists of at least two large polypeptides.

In the present study the promoting activity of various PCB and PBB isomers and congeners in rat liver has been studied and compared with a variety of primary xenobiotic-mediated enzymatic changes in this target organ. Female Wistar rats were given diethylnitrosamine (DEN; 10 mg/kg body wt for 10 days) and were subsequently treated once weekly with polychlorinated biphenyls (150 or 15 mumol/kg body wt) for a total of 8 weeks. Additional groups of rats were administered 3,3',4,4'-tetrabromobiphenyl or 3-methylcholanthrene (8 weekly injections of 15 or 150 mumol/kg body wt, respectively) or were given phenobarbital (0.05% in the diet) until the end of the experiment. Reference groups were treated with the various test compounds without prior initiation. One week and 9 weeks after cessation of promoter treatment rats were killed and the volumetric fraction of enzyme-altered foci characterized by changes in adenosine triphosphatase and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase activity was determined as a means to quantitatively assess the extent of preneoplastic response in this organ. Out of the series of polyhalogenated biphenyls tested, promoting effects were seen with the following compounds: 2,2',4,5'-tetrachlorobiphenyl, 3,3',4,4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl, 2,3,4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl, and 3,3',4,4'-tetrabromobiphenyl, whereas no significant effects were obtained with 4-monochlorobiphenyl. In rats not treated with DEN, the two strongly promoting agents 2,3,4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl and 3,3',4,4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl also significantly increased the volume fraction of enzyme-altered foci over the respective controls when analyzed at the second time point of investigation. In parallel experiments, induction of liver growth and of microsomal cytochrome P450 content in liver was found to correlate well with the promoting activity of the various xenobiotics, suggesting that these parameters may be used to predict the promoting activity of polyhalogenated biphenyls in a short term assay.

1. The effects of lorcainide on the myocardial Mg2(+)-dependent, Na+ and K(+)-activated adenosine triphosphatase (Na+, K(+)-ATPase) were compared in guinea-pig heart preparations with those of ouabain, a specific inhibitor of the enzyme activity. 2. Both ouabain and lorcainide inhibited the microsomal Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity in a concentration-dependent fashion. Their inhibitory effective ranges were 0.05-100 microM and 0.15-125 microM, respectively, and the concentrations for half maximal inhibition (IC50 values) were 2.1 +/- 0.3 and 33.5 +/- 7.3 microM, respectively. 3. In a second series of experiments, the combined effects of the two drugs on the enzyme activity were studied. In these experiments, lorcainide produced a concentration-dependent potentiation of the inhibitory effects of ouabain on Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity. 4. The present study demonstrates that lorcainide is a potent inhibitor of myocardial Na+, K(+)-ATPase.

A procedure for the isolation of primate skeletal microsomal membranes was initiated. Membranes exhibited specific enzymatic markers such as 5'-nucleotidase, Ca++,Mg(++)-adenosine triphosphatase and an ATP-dependent calcium uptake. Baboon skeletal microsomes bound specifically with high-affinity potent Ca++ channel blockers such as dihydropyridine, phenylalkylamine and benzothiazepine derivatives. Scatchard analysis of equilibrium binding assays with [3H](+)-PN 200-110, [3H](-)-desmethoxyverapamil [( 3H](-)-D888) and [3H]-d-cis-dilitiazem were consistent with a single class of binding sites for the three radioligands. The pharmacological profile of SR 33557, an original compound with calcium antagonist properties, was investigated using radioligand binding studies. SR 33557 totally inhibited the specific binding of the three main classes of Ca++ channel effectors and interacted allosterically with them. In addition, SR 33557 bound with high affinity to a homogeneous population of binding sites in baboon skeletal muscle.

The inhibitory effects of Ca channel antagonists on gastric acid secretion [[14C]-aminopyrine (AP) uptake ratio] have been analyzed in isolated rabbit parletal cells (PC). Secretagogue-stimulated AP uptake was inhibited by verapamil and diltiazem in a dose-dependent manner with IC50 values of 15 and 100 microM, respectively, both in the presence and absence of extracellular Ca. In contrast, nifedipine had no effect on AP accumulation. Verapamil decreased histamine-stimulated respiration with the same IC50 as observed for AP uptake. Imidazole, a weak base, by buffering the acid spaces in PC, reversed the inhibitory effect of verapamil on respiration. In the bullfrog gastric mucosa, forskolin-stimulated proton transport was inhibited by verapamil (10(-4) M) from the luminal but not the serosal side. This inhibitory effect was reversed by either elevating KCl concentration in, or removing the drug from, the secretory solution. Verapamil inhibited gastric microsomal H+,K(+)-adenosine triphosphatase (H+,K(+)-ATPase) and PC K(+)-stimulated p-nitrophenyl phosphatase activities with a higher potency than diltiazem. Inhibition of these enzymes by verapamil and diltiazem was pH dependent. The drugs competed with K+ in both H+,K(+)-ATPase and K(+)-stimulated p-nitrophenyl phosphatase reactions. Our data suggest that inhibition of the gastric proton pump by verapamil or diltiazem is not due to their Ca channel antagonism but to their interaction with the luminal high affinity K(+)-site of the H+,K(+)-ATPase under acidic conditions.
