Sections of primary lung carcinomas, lung metastases, mesotheliomas, and lung metastases of some rare mesenchymal tumors were incubated with different cytokeratin (CK), vimentin, desmin, and tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA) antibodies and with antibodies reactive with different hormones (ACTH, PTH, alpha-HCG, Calcitonin CT), CEA, carcinoma-associated antigen (CA1), secretory component (SC), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), alpha-1-antitrypsin (alpha-1-AT), lysozyme (lyso), and S-100 protein (S 100). CK antibodies derived from a 49 kD (reactive with simple epithelia [SE]) and a 67 kD CK polypeptide fraction (reaction with complex epithelia [CE] were useful differentiation markers for the four major groups of lung carcinomas. In one half of small cell carcinomas a positive reaction with NSE antibodies was found. S 100 and SC were good markers for papillary and bronchioloalveolar adenocarcinomas, whereas CEA was less important because of its reactivity with different types of lung carcinomas. To discern clear cell carcinomas of lung and renal origin a positive reaction with vimentin antibodies (some renal but not lung types) and with CA1 (no renal but all lung types) seemed to be useful. All hormone antibodies were of no importance as markers for difficult differential diagnosis, because positive reactivities were found in cases from every major carcinoma group. In addition, a Ca2+-activated adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) was found in mesotheliomas but not in papillary adenocarcinomas.

The pathogenesis of reduced systolic left ventricular function in dilated cardiomyopathy is yet unclear. To analyze a possible involvement of contractile protein, function and structure of left ventricular myofibrils were examined in hearts of patients with advanced cardiomyopathy undergoing heart transplantation and in normal control hearts (from renal transplant donors). Myosin and actin content of the left ventricular myocardium was slightly reduced in cardiomyopathic hearts. Myofibrillar polypeptide composition was determined using two-dimensional electrophoresis and immunoblotting. No differences in constituting polypeptides were apparent, including Z-line proteins and proteins of the endosarcomeric lattice. M-line-bound creatine kinase was identical in both groups. Further, basal and maximal myofibrillar adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activities were unaltered in dilated cardiomyopathy. The structure of purified myosin was identical in both groups by the following criteria: electrophoretic mobility of native myosin, identical pattern of light chains after isoelectric focusing, identical cleavage peptides of myosin's heavy chain, and identical patterns after immunoblotting of heavy chain cleavage peptides using polyclonal antibodies generated against myosin from normal and cardiomyopathic ventricles. Ca2+-activated, K+-EDTA-activated and actin-activated myosin ATPase activities were identical in control and cardiomyopathic hearts. A structural alteration or functional defect of myofibrils does not seem to be primarily involved in the pathogenesis of reduced myocardial contractility in dilated cardiomyopathy.

The proton-translocating adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) of bovine chromaffin granules contains up to five different polypeptides. Its activity is inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide, and ATP protects the enzyme from inhibition. After treatment of membranes with N-[2-3H]ethylmaleimide, only one polypeptide is strongly radiolabelled: this is the largest (70 kDa) subunit of the proton-translocating ATPase. This subunit therefore contains the ATP-hydrolysing site. Two-dimensional electrophoresis reveals heterogeneity in this polypeptide.

The calcium-regulating enzyme calcium adenosine triphosphatase (Ca-ATPase) was localized in the epithelium of amphibian urinary bladder by the one-step electron microscopic cytochemical procedure. The enzyme was identified along the basolateral border of the epithelial cells that comprise the bladder mucosa. The electron-dense precipitate indicating Ca-ATPase activity was seen in association with the outer leaflet of the basolateral plasmalemmae. Intracellularly, Ca-ATPase activity was seen in association with the mitochondrial matrix of the mitochondria-rich cells. Ca-ATPase was not seen along the apical microvillated border. Enzyme activity was also not seen after incubation in substrate-free media, calcium-free media, or incubation in the presence of vanadate. However, Ca-ATPase activity was evident when the calcium in the standard reaction medium was deleted in favor of magnesium. Addition of antidiuretic hormone (ADH; vasopressin) increased both the basolateral Ca-ATPase reaction and the mitochondrial reaction. Such data appear to indicate further that changes in cytosolic calcium ion concentration take place during the response of amphibian urinary bladder to the polypeptide hormone vasopressin.

The denatured catalytic polypeptide of mouse brain (Na+ + K+)-adenosine triphosphatase(ATPase) was separated from microsomal membranes on polyacrylamide gels and used as an immunogen. The antiserum, characterized by immunoblots, recognizes the polypeptide corresponding to the catalytic unit in various fractions of mouse brain and cross-reacts with the catalytic unit from lamb kidney, duck salt gland, and electroplax. The same polypeptide in brain and salt gland is recognized by antiserum raised against purified lamb kidney enzyme. Light microscopy was performed with the peroxidase-conjugated second antibody method. In mouse cerebellum, immunochemical staining outlines Purkinje cell and granule cell perikarya. Intense activity is associated with regions of high synaptic content including the pericellular basket meshes and preaxonal regions of Purkinje cells and the glomeruli in the granular layer. In the molecular layer, the neuropil is diffusely reactive with distinct vertically oriented processes evident. White matter exhibits light stain deposition. Choroid plexus presents abundant reaction product only at ependymal apical surfaces, while the ependymal lining of the fourth ventricle displays little or no immunoreactivity. Specificity of the antiserum was demonstrated further in mouse kidney where staining conforms to the well-characterized localization of the enzyme along basolateral surfaces of cortical and medullary tubules. The biochemical and immunocytochemical data show the efficacy of generating antisera to brain (Na+ + K+)-ATPase using catalytic polypeptide as an immunogen.

Polyadenylated RNA prepared from neonatal rat muscle was translated in a rabbit reticulocyte cell-free system. Two sarcoplasmic reticulum proteins, the Ca2+ + Mg2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) and calsequestrin, were isolated from the translation mixture by immunoprecipitation, followed by electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. The [35S]methionine-labeled translation products were characterized by molecular weight, peptide mapping, and NH2-terminal sequence analysis. The ATPase synthesized in the cell-free system was found to have the same molecular weight (Mr = 100,000) and [35S]-methionine-labeled peptide map as the mature ATPase. The methionine residue present at the NH2 terminus of the mature ATPase was donated by initiator methionyl-tRNArMet and it became acetylated during translation. These results suggest that the ATPase was synthesized without an NH2-terminal signal sequence. Calsequestrin (Mr - 63,000) was synthesized as a higher molecular weight precursor (Mr = 66,000) that contained an additional [35S]methionine-labeled peptide when compared to mature calsequestrin. The NH2-terminal sequence of the precursor was different from the mature protein. The precursor was processed to a polypeptide with a molecular weight identical with mature calsequestrin when microsomal membranes prepared from canine pancreas were included during translation. These results show that calsequestrin is synthesized with an NH2-terminal signal sequence that is removed during translation. These data add to the evidence that the ATPase and calsequestrin follow distinctly different biosynthetic pathways, even though, ultimately, they are both located in the same membrane.

Two different Mg2+-dependent adenosine 5'-triphosphate-hydrolyzing activities were detected in membranes of Vibrio costicola, a novel 5'-nucleotidase and an N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-sensitive adenosine triphosphatase. The former and the latter had different requirements for Mg2+ and were selectively assayed in the membranes by using, respectively, 20 and 2 mM Mg2+. The two enzymes were extracted with a combination of Triton X-100 and octylglucoside, separated on a diethylaminoethyl cellulose column, and purified on glycerol gradients. The purified 5'-nucleotidase consisted of one major polypeptide of 70,000 daltons when analyzed on polyacrylamide gels in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The purified 5'-nucleotidase was similar in substrate specificities, divalent cation specificities, and pH profiles to the membrane-bound N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-insensitive nucleotide-phosphohydrolyzing activity. The enzyme hydrolyzed nucleoside 5'-tri, 5'-di, and 5'-monophosphates at comparable rates. Inorganic pyrophosphate, p-nitrophenyl phosphate, glucose 6-phosphate, beta-glycerophosphate, adenosine 5'-diphosphate glucose, adenosine 3'-monophosphate, and cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate were not hydrolyzed, either im membranes or by the purified 5'-nucleotides. Actions of NaCl and KCl on the activity of the 5'-nucleotidase were studied. The enzyme was activated by both NaCl and KCl; the activation profiles however, were different for the membrane-bound and purified 5'-nucleotidase. The purified enzyme, unlike the membrane-bound enzyme, was markedly stimulated by high concentrations of NaCl (up to 3 M).

The complete amino acid sequence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC)-binding subunit of proton adenosine triphosphatase from glycolysing bacteria Streptococcus faecalis was established. Isolation of the protein from subbacterial particles was carried out by using extraction with a chloroform/methanol mixture and following gel-filtration on Sephadex LH-60 and Bio-gel P-30. To establish the primary structure, use was made of cyanogen bromide and hydroxylamine cleavages, trypsin and partial acid hydrolyses. Separation of the peptide fragments obtained from cyanogen bromide and hydroxylamine cleavages and partial acid hydrolysis was performed by gel-filtration on Bio-gel P-10 and reversed-phase HPLC. Peptide structures were determined mainly with the aid of 4-N,N-dimethylaminoazobenzene-4'-isothiocyanate. The polypeptide chain of the protein consists of 71 amino acid residues (mol. wt. 7291). The primary structure of the protein from S. faecalis shares all common features of the structural organization of other H+-ATPase DCC-binding subunits and shows a high degree of homology with the corresponding subunit of thermophilic bacterium PS-3. Inactivation of H+-ATPase with DCC was due to modification of Glu54 of the polypeptide chain.

Sodium and potassium ion-activated adenosine triphosphatase is known to be composed of at least two different polypeptides, alpha and beta. When a detergent-treated supernatant preparation of the enzyme is reacted with the cross-linking reagent, cupric phenanthroline, a single, covalent heterodimer is formed. This product is formed from one of each of the two polypeptides. The remaining, unreacted alpha and beta chains maintain a constant ratio to each other throughout the reaction. The same heterodimer is formed in membrane-bound enzyme when reacted with several other cross-linking reagents. The protein mass ratio between the chains in the native enzyme, determined by two methods, is 2.15 +/- 0.16. Using this value and a value of 121,000 +/- 6,000 for the molecular weight of the larger polypeptide, a molecular weight of 56,000 +/- 7,000 can be calculated for the protein portion of the smaller polypeptide. Upon removal of a substantial portion of the carbohydrate from the smaller polypeptide, a change in its electrophoretic mobility is observed, while that of the larger polypeptide remains unaffected. The apparent length of this unglycosylated small chain is 450 residues, corresponding to a molecular weight of 51,000. Taken together, these results demonstrated that the two polypeptides of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase exist in an equimolar, noncovalent association in the native enzyme, and that the protein molecular weight of the minimum asymmetric unit is 177,000 +/- 13,000, Previous results which address the question of the quaternary structure of the ATPase are re-examined in light of these determinations.

The catalytic subunit of sodium and potassium ion transport adenosine triphosphatase was isolated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide electrophoresis and was subjected to isoelectric focussing on 3.5% acrylamide in 2% Triton X-100, 9 M urea, and 2% Bio-Lyte 3/10 from Bio-Rad Laboratories. At 20 degrees C this resolved 2 equal and closely spaced bands centered at pH 5.5 about 0.04 pH unit apart. The distribution of the polypeptide between the 2 bands came to a temperature-dependent equilibrium during focussing. At 15 degrees C predominantly the acidic band and at 25 degrees C predominantly the alkaline band appeared. Perhaps association of the nonionic detergent with the polypeptide resulted in its partitioning into bands corresponding to different physical states. A change of phase in a polypeptide-detergent complex might have altered its charge. To test functional homogeneity of the subunit in the native enzyme, the active center for ATP binding was covalently labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate, an acidic ligand. Isoelectric focussing of the derivatized subunit at 20 degrees C showed displacement of all of the alkaline band to the position of the acidic band, which was fluorescent. Isoelectric focussing at 25 degrees C showed displacement of almost half of the alkaline band to the position of the acidic band, and both bands were fluorescent. The results suggest that all of the subunit accepted the fluorescent label and that derivatization slightly raised the temperature at which the polypeptide equilibrated between the 2 states. A few experiments on the calcium-dependent ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum indicated that it responded similarly.
