A Ca2+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase in Golgi-enriched membranes of lactating murine mammary tissue.

ABSTRACT: A membrane fraction isolated from lactating murine mammary tissue and enriched for the Golgi membrane marker enzyme galactosyltransferase exhibited Ca2+-stimulated ATPase activity (Ca-ATPase) in 20 microM-free Mg2+ and 10 microM-MgATP, with an apparent Km for Ca2+ of 0.8 microM. Exogenous calmodulin did not enhance Ca2+ stimulation, nor could Ca-ATPase activities be detected in millimolar total Mg2+ and ATP. When assayed with micromolar Mg2+ and MgATP the Ca-ATPases of skeletal-muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum and of calmodulin-enriched red blood cell plasma membranes were half-maximally activated by 0.1 microM- and 0.6 microM-Ca2+ respectively. All three Ca-ATPases were inhibited by similar micromolar concentrations of trifluoperazine, but the Golgi activity was unaffected by quercetin in concentrations which completely inhibited both the sarcoplasmic-reticulum and red-blood-cell enzymes. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that the high-affinity Ca-ATPase is responsible for the ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport exhibited by Golgi-enriched vesicles derived from lactating mammary gland [Neville, Selker, Semple & Watters (1981) J. Membr. Biol. 61, 97-105; West (1981) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 673, 374-386].

Permeability of lactating-rat mammary gland Golgi membranes to monosaccharides.

Project description:The Golgi-membrane vesicles present in particulate preparations of lactating rat mammary gland were biosynthetically loaded with [14C]lactose. This lactose was effectively retained by particles sedimented after exposure to 0.25 M-disaccharide, but was partly lost after exposure to 0.25 M-glucose or other solutes of similar size. Loss of lactose was time-, concentration- and temperature-dependent and varied with the solute structure. This behaviour is ascribed to the presence of protein in the Golgi membrane, forming a specific carrier or channel that serves to supply glucose for lactose synthesis.

Composition, stability and electrolyte permeability of Golgi membranes from lactating-rat mammary gland.

Project description:1. Golgi membrane vesicles, isolated from lactating-rat mammary gland and greatly enriched in galactosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.22), contained over 40 separate bands of protein, including some periodic acid)(Schiff-staining material and free thiol groups, when analysed by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. 2. The membrane lipids were enriched in phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine and unesterified cholesterol. 3. Membrane fluidity, as monitored by the fluorescence polarization of 1,6-diphenylhexa-1,3,5-triene, increased linearly over 5-37 degrees C. 4. The vesicle membranes were impermeable to lactose over a wide pH range, but admitted electrolytes of molecular weight below about 300. 5. These properties are discussed with respect to other cellular membranes and the secretion of milk products.

Ca2+ transport and Ca2+-dependent ATP hydrolysis by Golgi vesicles from lactating rat mammary glands.

Project description:Ca2+ transport across mammary-gland Golgi membranes was measured after centrifugation of the membrane vesicles through silicone oil. In the presence of 2.3 microM free Ca2+ the vesicles accumulated 5.8 nmol of Ca2+/mg of protein without added ATP, and this uptake was complete within 0.5 min. In the presence of 1 mM-ATP, Ca2+ was accumulated at a linear rate for 10 min after the precipitation of intravesicular Ca2+ with 10 mM-potassium oxalate. ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake exhibited a Km of 0.14 microM for Ca2+ and a Vmax. of 3.1 nmol of Ca2+/min per mg of protein. Ca2+-dependent ATP hydrolysis exhibited a Km of 0.16 microM for Ca2+ and a Vmax. of 10.1 nmol of Pi/min per mg of protein. The stoichiometry between ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake and Ca2+-stimulated ATPase varied between 0.3 and 0.7 over the range 0.03-8.6 microM-Ca2+. Both Ca2+ uptake and Ca2+-stimulated ATPase were strongly inhibited by orthovanadate, which suggests that the major mechanism by which Golgi vesicles accumulate Ca2+ is through the action of the Ca2+-stimulated ATPase. However, Ca2+ uptake was also decreased by the protonophore CCCP (carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone), indicating that it may occur by other mechanisms too. The effect of CCCP may be related to the existence of transmembrane pH gradients (delta pH) in these vesicles: the addition of 30 microM-CCCP reduced delta pH from a control value of 1.06 to 0.73 pH unit. Golgi vesicles also possess a Ca2+-efflux pathway which operated at an initial rate of 0.5-0.57 nmol/min per mg of protein.

The effect of calmodulin on the phosphoprotein intermediate of Mg2+-dependent Ca2+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase in human erythrocyte membranes.

Project description:The effect of calmodulin on the formation and decomposition of the Ca2+-dependent phosphoprotein intermediate of the (Mg2+ + Ca2+)-dependent ATPase in erythrocyte membranes was investigated. In the presence of 60 microM-Ca2+ and 25 microM-MgCl2, calmodulin (0.5-1.5 microgram) did not alter the steady-state concentration of the phosphoprotein, but increased its rate of decomposition. Higher calmodulin concentrations significantly decreased the steady-state concentration of phosphoprotein. Calmodulin (0.5-1.7 microgram) increased Ca2+-transport ATPase activity by increasing the turnover rate of its phosphoprotein intermediate. Increasing the MgCl2 concentration from 25 microM to 250 microM increased the (Mg2+ + Ca2+)-dependent ATPase activity, but decreased the concentration of the phosphoprotein intermediate. Similarly to calmodulin, MgCl2 increased the turnover rate of the Ca2+-transport ATPase complex (about 3-fold). At the higher MgCl2 concentration calmodulin did not further affect the decomposition of the phosphoprotein intermediate. It was concluded that both calmodulin and MgCl2 increase the turnover of the Ca2+-pump by enhancing the decomposition of the Ca2+-dependent phosphoprotein intermediate.

Ecto-enzymes of mammary gland and its tumours. Ca2+- or Mg2+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase and its perturbation by concanavalin A.

Project description:Intact viable 13762 mammary-adenocarcinoma ascites cells hydrolyse added ATP. The localization of hydrolysis product and inactivation by the slowly penetrating chemical reagent diazotized sulphanilic acid indicate that this ATPase is at the external surface of the cell. A number of features differentiate this enzyme from mitochondrial, myosin and cation-transport ATPases. It is stimulated by either Ca2+ or Mg2+ and has little or no activity in their absence. It is insensitive to ouabain, oligomycin and azide. It is the major ATPase activity found in homogenates of gently disrupted 13762 cels. The ATPase activity is inhibited at high substrate concentrations and shows an apparent stimulation by concanavalin A in isolated membranes, but not in intact cells. The stimulation by concanavalin A results predominantly from a release from substrate inhibition.

Erythrocyte-ghost Ca2+-stimulated Mg2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Project description:The Ca2+-stimulated Mg2-dependent ATPase activities (Ca2+-ATPase) of erythrocyte-ghost membranes from patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and carriers of DMD were compared with activities of normal controls. The Ca2+-ATPase activity of DMD-patient ghost preparations was found to follow the same pattern of activation by Ca2+ as the control membranes. However, the Ca2+-ATPase activity in DMD and some DMD-carrier preparations was substantially elevated compared with controls. To characterize further the elevated Ca2+-ATPase activity found in DMD-patient ghost membrane preparations, we estimated kinetic parameters using both fine adjustment and weighting methods to analyse our experimental data. It was established that in both DMD and DMD-carrier preparations the increase in Ca2+-ATPase activity was reflected by a significant increase in Vmax. rather than by any change in Km. The response of the membrane Ca2+-ATPase activity to changes in temperature was also investigated. In all preparations a break in the Arrhenius plot occurred at 20 degrees C, and in DMD and DMD-carrier preparations an elevated Ca2+-ATPase activity was detected at all temperatures. Above 20 degrees C the activation energy for all types of preparation was the same, whereas below this temperature there appeared to be an elevated activation in DMD and DMD-carrier preparations compared with normal controls. The concept that a generalized alteration in the physicochemical nature of the membrane lipid domain may be responsible for the many abnormal membrane properties reported in DMD is discussed.

Incorporation into phospholipid vesicles of pore-like properties from Golgi membranes of lactating-rat mammary gland.

Project description:The ability of rat mammary-gland Golgi membranes to produce monosaccharide-specific pores in phospholipid vesicles was investigated. The apparent ability of Triton X-100 extracts of Golgi membranes to form such pores was re-evaluated, since we have now found that an apparent pore is produced by the detergent alone. We therefore incorporated intact Golgi membranes (1 mg of protein) into egg-yolk phospholipid vesicles by direct sonication in the absence of any detergent. These vesicles retained about 0.6% of the total sucrose, but demonstrated selective permeability towards glucose compared with sucrose, with 19.8% of the glucose being lost during gel filtration on Sepharose 4B. This phenomenon seemed to be enhanced by the presence of acidic phospholipids and lysophosphatidylcholine, but was inhibited by inclusion of cholesterol in the vesicles. The best mixture of phospholipids comprised 6.5 mg of egg-yolk phospholipid, 1 mg of phosphatidylserine and 0.05 mg of lysophosphatidylcholine, where 32.9% of the glucose was lost. By using this optimum phospholipid mixture the pores were shown to be permeable to both glucose and mannitol, whereas sucrose and lactose were retained by the vesicles. Chaps (3- [(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio] propane-1-sulphonate)-solubilized membranes produced similar permeability in vesicles produced by dialysis of a solution of the phospholipids mixed with the membrane extract. This technique resulted in a greater loss of glucose, 33% loss requiring about 0.25 mg of protein. The pore-forming ability of both intact Golgi membranes and Chaps extracts was sensitive to boiling and proteolysis, indicating that a membrane protein was likely to be involved in pore formation.

MicroRNA-275 targets sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ adenosine triphosphatase (SERCA) to control key functions in the mosquito gut.

Project description:The yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti is the major vector of arboviruses, causing numerous devastating human diseases, such as dengue and yellow fevers, Chikungunya and Zika. Female mosquitoes need vertebrate blood for egg development, and repeated cycles of blood feeding are tightly linked to pathogen transmission. The mosquito's posterior midgut (gut) is involved in blood digestion and also serves as an entry point for pathogens. Thus, the mosquito gut is an important tissue to investigate. The miRNA aae-miR-275 (miR-275) has been shown to be required for normal blood digestion in the female mosquito; however, the mechanism of its action has remained unknown. Here, we demonstrate that miR-275 directly targets and positively regulates sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ adenosine triphosphatase, which is implicated in active transport of Ca2+ from the cytosol to the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum. We utilized a combination of the gut-specific yeast transcription activator protein Gal4/upstream activating sequence (Gal4/UAS) system and miRNA Tough Decoy technology to deplete the endogenous level of miR-275 in guts of transgenic mosquitoes. This gut-specific reduction of miR-275 post blood meal decreased SERCA mRNA and protein levels of the digestive enzyme late trypsin. It also resulted in a significant reduction of gut microbiota. Moreover, the decrease of miR-275 and SERCA correlated with defects in the Notch signaling pathway and assembly of the gut actin cytoskeleton. The adverse phenotypes caused by miR-275 silencing were rescued by injections of miR-275 mimic. Thus, we have discovered that miR-275 directly targets SERCA, and the maintenance of its level is critical for multiple gut functions in mosquitoes.

Identification and characterization of glucose transport proteins in plasma membrane- and Golgi vesicle-enriched fractions prepared from lactating rat mammary gland.

Project description:Plasma membrane- and Golgi vesicle-enriched membrane fractions were prepared from day-10 lactating rat mammary glands. Each fraction was found to contain a single set of D-glucose-inhibitable cytochalasin B-binding sites: plasma membranes and Golgi vesicles bound 20 +/- 2 and 53 +/- 4 pmol of cytochalasin/mg of membrane protein (means +/- S.E.M.), with dissociation constants of 259 +/- 47 and 520 +/- 47 nM respectively. Anti-peptide antibodies against the C-terminal region (residues 477-492) of the rat brain/human erythrocyte glucose transporter labelled a sharp band of apparent Mr 50,000 on Western blots of both fractions. Treatment with endoglycosidase F before blotting decreased the apparent Mr of this band to 38,000, indicating that it corresponded to a glycoprotein. Confirmation that this immunologically cross-reactive band was a glucose transporter was provided by the demonstration that it could be photoaffinity-labelled, in a D-glucose-sensitive fashion, with cytochalasin B. Quantitative Western blotting studies yielded values of 28 +/- 5 and 23 +/- 3 pmol of immunologically cross-reactive glucose transporters/mg of membrane protein in the plasma membrane and Golgi vesicle fractions respectively. From comparison with the concentration of cytochalasin B-binding sites, it is concluded that a protein homologous to the rat brain glucose transporter constitutes the major glucose transport species in the plasma membranes of mammary gland epithelial cells. Glucose transporters are also found in the Golgi membranes of these cells, at least half of them being similar, if not identical, to the transporters of the plasma membrane. However, their function in this location remains unclear.
