Membrane-bound (H+ + K+)-ATPase purified from hog gastric mucosa was exposed to limited papain digestion. Such treatment resulted in a rapid inhibition of the K+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase and p-nitrophenyl phosphatase activities, with about 90% of these activities lost after 3 min incubation at 37 degrees C with 0.1 units of papain per mg of enzyme protein. Parallel to the inhibition of the enzyme activities, there was a production of a 77 kDa membrane-bound fragment containing the aspartyl phosphate residue of the phospho-intermediate. This fragment accounted for about 45% of the total enzyme protein after the 3 min papain treatment. The digestion barely affected the steady-state level of phosphorylation, allowed the aspartyl phosphate of the 77 kDa fragment to undergo the transition to the E2P form, and did not significantly alter the fraction of ADP-sensitive phosphoenzyme. The presence of KCl, however, depressed the steady-state level of phosphoenzyme formed from [gamma-32P]ATP considerably less than that of the control enzyme. With further exposure to papain the 77 kDa peptide became fragmented into a 28 kDa soluble peptide that retained the phosphorylating site. Binding of fluorescein 5'-isothiocyanate (FITC) to the native enzyme did not affect the sites of papain hydrolysis because the same peptide fragments were obtained. The FITC reaction site was also in the 28 kDa soluble peptide fragment.

Microsomes from guinea-pig cerebral cortex contain a system capable of exchanging ADP with ATP at rates of about 20mumoles/mg. of protein/hr. The ADP-ATP-exchange reaction requires Mg(2+) for activity. The reaction is not stimulated by Na(+) or K(+) and is not inhibited by ouabain, in contrast with the Na(+)-plus-K(+)-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase. The pH optimum also differs from that of the adenosine triphosphatase. The ADP-ATP-exchange reaction is stimulated two- to three-fold by non-ionic, anionic and cationic detergents, even when these agents are inhibiting the adenosine-triphosphatase reaction. This reaction may represent a component of the Na(+)-plus-K(+)-stimulated adenosine-triphosphatase reaction but is more likely to be due to other enzyme systems present in microsomal subfractions.

1. A microsomal fraction from ox cerebral cortex catalysed [(14)C]ADP-ATP exchange at a speed similar to that at which it liberated P(i) from ATP in the presence of Na(+), K(+) and Mg(2+). 2. Repeated washing the fraction with MgATP solutions solubilized most of the exchange activity and left the adenosine triphosphatase insoluble and little changed in activity. The exchange activity was accompanied by negligible adenosine-triphosphatase activity and was enriched by precipitation at chosen pH and by DEAE-Sephadex. At no stage was its activity affected by Na(+), K(+) or ouabain. 3. The washed microsomal fraction was exposed to a variety of reagents; a sodium iodide-cysteine treatment increased both adenosine-triphosphatase and exchange activities, as also did a synthetic zeolite. Preparations were obtained with exchange activities less than 3% of their Na(+)-plus-K(+)-stimulated adenosine-triphosphatase activity. Some contribution to the residual exchange activity was made by an adenylate kinase. 4. Thus over 95% of the microsomal ADP-ATP-exchange activity does not take part in the Na(+)-plus-K(+)-stimulated adenosine-triphosphatase reaction. Participation of some of the residual 3% of the ADP-ATP-exchange activity has not been excluded, but there appears no firm evidence for its participation in the adenosine triphosphatase; the bearing of this conclusion on mechanisms proposed for the Na(+)-plus-K(+)-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase is indicated.

Transient kinetic studies of Mg(2+)-dependent heavy-meromyosin ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) were done by monitoring the release of both ADP and P(i) into the reaction medium by using linked assay systems. The release of P(i) was monitored by its quantitative transfer to ADP, with concomitant reduction of NAD(+) in the presence of d-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, d-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase and phosphoglycerate kinase. The dissociation rates of the products, ADP and P(i), from heavy meromyosin were shown to be faster than the rate-controlling process, which occurs after the initial bond cleavage of ATP. The chromophoric ATP analogue, 6-mercapto-9-beta-d-ribofuranosylpurine 5'-triphosphate (thioATP) was used as a substrate and spectral changes associated with a single turnover of heavy meromyosin could be assigned to elementary processes of the mechanism. It was shown that the dissociation rate of thioADP was not the rate-controlling process of the thioATPase, whose catalytic-centre activity was 7.6 times that of the ATPase at pH8. The dissociation rate of ADP from heavy meromyosin was measured by using thioATP as displacing agent and was found to be 2.3s(-1), which is about 50 times the catalytic-centre activity of the ATPase at pH8. Transient kinetic studies with chromophoric adenosine phosphate analogues have general application for kinases and ATPases both in characterizing the chemical states of the intermediates and in delineating the elementary processes of the enzyme mechanism.

A mixture of purified muscle glycolytic enzymes was reconstituted and the mixture shown to behave in a fashion analogous to that occurring in vivo. Glycolysis leads to ATP production in muscle and results in the phosphorylation of creatine. The extent of this phosphorylation by anaerobic glycolysis was shown to depend to a small extent on the relative proportions of available P(i) and creatine initially, but more importantly on the first step in glycolysis, in this case the enzyme phosphorylase. With less than 0.1% of the phosphorylase in the a form, only about one-third of the creatine was phosphorylated in 30min, whereas with 4% or more of phosphorylase a, 90% of the creatine was phosphorylated within this time. Inclusion of an adenosine triphosphatase decreased the steady-state concentration of phosphocreatine in the system. Calculations of the theoretical concentrations of ADP and AMP showed that phosphorylase b was almost inactive even in the presence of 9mum-AMP, because of ATP inhibition. With phosphorylase a present, glycolysis was able to continue at least until the calculated concentration of MgADP(-) was only 7mum, and AMP in the sub-mumolar range. The relation of these values to measured concentrations of nucleotides and to phosphorylase a percentages in intact muscle is discussed.

Evidence is presented that the myosin subfragment-1-ADP complex, generated by the addition of Mg(2+) and ADP to subfragment 1, is an intermediate within the myosin Mg(2+)-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) turnover cycle. The existence of this species as a steady-state intermediate at pH8 and 5 degrees C is demonstrated by fluorescence measurements, but its concentration becomes too low to measure at 21 degrees C. This arises because there is a marked temperature-dependence on the rate of the process controlling ADP dissociation from subfragment 1 (rate=1.4s(-1) at 21 degrees C, 0.07s(-1) at 5 degrees C). In the ATPase pathway this reaction is in series with a relatively temperature-insensitive process, namely an isomerization of the subfragment-1-product complex (rate=0.055s(-1) at 21 degrees C, 0.036s(-1) at 5 degrees C). By means of studies on the P(i) inhibition of nucleotide-association rates, a myosin subfragment-1-P(i) complex was characterized with a dissociation equilibrium constant of 1.5mm. P(i) appears to bind more weakly to the myosin subfragment-1-ADP complex. The studies indicate that P(i) dissociates from subfragment 1 at a rate greater than 40s(-1), and substantiates the existence of a myosin-product isomerization before product release in the elementary processes of the Mg(2+)-dependent ATPase. In this ATPase mechanism Mg(2+) associates as a complex with ATP and is released as a complex with ADP. In 0.1m-KCl at pH8 1.0mol of H(+) is released/mol of subfragment 1 concomitant with the myosin-product isomerization or P(i) dissociation, and 0.23 mol of H(+) is released/mol of subfragment when ATP binds to the protein, but 0.23 mol of H(+) is taken up again from the medium when ADP dissociates. Within experimental sensitivity no H(+) is released into the medium in the step involving ATP cleavage.

1. Homogenates of neural lobes of bovine pituitary glands were fractionated by differential and density-gradient ultracentrifugation and the distribution of adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity was studied. It was shown that all the activity was membrane-bound. 2. On the basis of ionic requirements the ATPase activity was grouped into three categories: (a) Mg(2+)-dependent, (b) Ca(2+)-dependent and (c) Mg(2+)+Na(+)+K(+)-dependent (ouabain-sensitive) ATPases. The activity in the absence of bivalent cations was negligible. The ratio between the activities of the three ATPases varied between the different subcellular fractions. 3. Preincubation of the subcellular fractions with deoxycholate increased the activity of the Mg(2+)+Na(+)+K(+)-dependent enzyme, whereas the Mg(2+)- and Ca(2+)-activated ATPases were either unaffected or slightly inhibited. Triton X-100 solubilized the Mg(2+)- and Ca(2+)-ATPases; however, the activity of the Mg(2+)+Na(+)+K(+)-ATPase was abolished by the concentration of Triton X-100 used. 4. All the subfractions displayed unspecific nucleotide triphosphatase activity towards GTP, ITP and UTP. These substrates inhibited the hydrolysis of ATP by all three ATPases. ADP also inhibited the ATPases. 5. Polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of extracts containing the Mg(2+)- and Ca(2+)-dependent ATPase activity solubilized by Triton X-100 revealed the presence of two enzymes; one activated by either Mg(2+) or Ca(2+) and the other activated only by Ca(2+). 6. In sucrose density gradients the distribution of vasopressin was different from that of all three types of ATPases. It is therefore suggested that the neurosecretory granules do not possess ATPase activity.

A study was made of the enzyme content of the isolated cell walls and of a plasma-membrane preparation obtained by centrifugation after enzymic digestion of the cell walls of baker's yeast. The isolated cell walls showed no hexokinase, alkaline phosphatase, esterase or NADH oxidase activity. It was concluded that these enzymes exist only in the interior of the cell. Further, only a negligible activity of deamidase was detectable in the cell walls. Noticeable amounts of saccharase, phosphatases hydrolysing p-nitrophenyl phosphate, ATP, ADP, thiamin pyrophosphate and PP(i), with optimum activity at pH3-4, and an activity of Mg(2+)-dependent adenosine triphosphatase at neutral pH, were found in the isolated cell walls. During enzymic digestion, the other activities appearing in the cell walls were mostly released into the medium, but the bulk of the Mg(2+)-dependent adenosine triphosphatase remained in the plasma-membrane preparation. Accordingly, it may be assumed that the enzymes released into the medium during digestion are located in the cell wall outside the plasma membrane, whereas the Mg(2+)-dependent adenosine triphosphatase is an enzyme of the plasma membrane. This enzyme differs from the phosphatases with pH optima in the range pH3-4 with regard to location, pH optimum, substrate specificity and different requirement of activators.

Characteristics of inorganic pyrophosphate synthesis from inorganic orthophosphate were examined in chromatophores of Rhodospirillum rubrum. The application of an ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase-trapping system has shown in an unequivocal fashion that pyrophosphate is a product of a light-dependent reaction utilizing P(i) as the substrate. Only very limited pyrophosphate synthesis takes place in the dark. The rates of synthesis of both ATP and pyrophosphate were studied under conditions in which the membrane-bound adenosine triphosphatase and pyrophosphatase activities would normally make these substances unstable. The maximum rate of pyrophosphate synthesis was 25% of that for ATP synthesis, with maximum activation of pyrophosphate synthesis occurring at a lower light-intensity than that required for ATP synthesis. As a result, at low light-intensity the rate of pyrophosphate formation approached that of ATP. Maximal rates of synthesis of both pyrophosphate and ATP were attained only on the addition of an exogenous reducing agent. Conditions for optimum pyrophosphate synthesis required about one-half of the concentration of the reductant required for maximum ATP synthesis. Consistent with previous reports, oligomycin inhibited ATP synthesis, but had little influence on the rate of pyrophosphate synthesis. In membrane particles that retained pyrophosphatase activity but were treated to remove adenosine triphosphatase activity and the ability to photophosphorylate ADP, oligomycin stimulated light-dependent pyrophosphate synthesis by nearly 250%. The influence of Mg(2+) concentration, pH and various inhibitors and uncouplers on pyrophosphate synthesis was studied. The results are discussed with respect to the mechanism and function of electron-transport-coupled energy conservation in R. rubrum chromatophores.

Treatment of an isoenzyme of potato apyrase of high adenosine triphosphatase/adenosine diphosphatase (ATPase/ADPase) ratio with iodine, N-acetylimidazole or tetranitromethane inactivates the ATPase activity of this enzyme faster than its ADPase activity. There was protection by substrates with the two last-named substances. This and the appearance of nitrotyrosine suggests the participation of tyrosyl residues in both enzymic activities of potato apyrase. The participation of thiol groups is excluded by the insensitivity of apyrase to p-chloromercuribenzoate. Also, 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl bromide or carboxymethylation produce the same rate of inactivation of ATPase and ADPase activities. Substrates protect both activities from inactivation. Hydrogen peroxide and photo-oxidation inactivate ATPase activity faster than ADPase activity. There is no protection by substrates. Analysis of pH effects on V(max.) and K(m) suggest different pK values for the amino acid residues at the ATP and ADP sites.
