Organization of thiol groups of electric-eel electric-organ sodium-plus-potassium ion-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase studied with bifunctional reagents.

ABSTRACT: The reactions of three bifunctional thiol-blocking reagents of differing cross-linking spans and two monofunctional thiol-blocking reagents with the Na+ + K+-stimulated ATPase of the electric-eel electric organ were examined. 1,5-Difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene with a cross-linking span of 0.3--0.5 nm (3--5 A) and high solubility in non-polar solvent was the most efficient inhibitor of enzyme activity; thus essential thiol groups exist in a non-polar environment and are approx. 0.3--0.5 nm (3--5 A) from their nearest thiol-group neighbours. Ligands promoting phosphorylation of the Na+ + K+-stimulated ATPase decreased the number of thiol groups bridged by 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene and by 4,4'-difluoro-3,3'-dinitrodiphenyl sulphone [0.7--1.0 nm (7--10 A) span]. Phosphorylation is associated with a conformational change in the enzyme.

Phosphorylation states of the (Na+ + K+)-transporting ATPase in preparations from lamb kidney and electric-eel (Electophorus electricus) electric organ.

Project description:Phosphorylation states of the (Na+ + K+)-transporting ATPase were studied in highly purified preparations isolated from electric-eel electric organ and from lamb kidney. The steady-state level of phosphorylated lamb kidney enzyme, obtained by reaction with [gamma-32P]ATP, was not appreciably reduced in the presence of ADP unless oligomycin was present. The phosphorylated form of the electric-eel electric-organ enzyme was reduced by at least 95% under the same conditions, suggesting that the E1P state in the kidney enzyme is more transitory than that in electric organ. The level of phosphorylation from [32P]Pi was higher in the lamb kidney preparation than in the electric-organ preparation, and the difference in stimulation of phosphorylation by ouabain in the two preparations was striking. Ouabain increased the level of phosphorylation by 35% in the kidney preparation and 734% in the electric-organ preparation. The E2P state seems to be stabilized by ouabain in the latter preparation. These findings, as well as the different reactivities of the thiol groups to blocking reagents in these preparations, suggest that the tertiary structure in the enzyme isolated from these two sources is different.

Lipid requirement of the membrane sodium-plus-potassium ion-dependent adenosine triphosphatase system.

Project description:The dependence of the (Na-++K-+)-dependent ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) (EC 3.6.1.3) on lipid has been examined in a number of different ways, with the use of various preparations from kidney tissue. The main findings were as follows. (1) The ATPase activities of the preparations examined were closely correlated with their total phospholipid content. (2) Extraction of the ATPase with deoxycholate or Lubrol W, combined with suitable salt-fractionation and washing procedures, removed phospholipid, cholesterol and enzymic activity in parallel; but activity was completely lost before all lipid had been removed. (3) The loss of activity could not be attributed to inhibition by residual detergent. (4) No selective removal of any particular phospholipid class by detergent could be detected. (5) Consistent reactivation of the Lubrol-extracted enzymes was obtained by adding dispersions of exogenous phospholipid, but only some, bearing a net negative charge, such as phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylglycerol, were effective. (6) The degree of reactivation was correlated with the amount of residual activity remaining after lipid depletion. (7) Partial purification of the ATPase, giving a 50-fold increase in specific activity, was not accompanied by selective enhancement of any particular class of phospholipid. We conclude that although the ATPase is dependent on phospholipid, only the reactivation results provide evidence for specificity.

Chemical modification of a cerebral sodium-plus-potassium ion-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase preparation.

Project description:1. A particulate Na(+)+K(+)-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase preparation obtained by treatment of bovine cerebral microsomes with a sodium iodide reagent has been further treated with acid anhydrides likely to convert amino groups into acidic derivatives. 2. The extent of acylation of amino groups was determined by reaction of the remaining amino groups with 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulphonic acid. The unmodified preparation contains about 1.2 muequiv. of amino groups/mg of protein of which only about 0.5 muequiv. are accounted for by protein amino groups. Kinetics of the trinitrobenzenesulphonic acid reaction with the unmodified preparation are complex and are altered by ATP or ouabain. 3. The compounds examined cause loss of Na(+)+K(+)-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase activity when relatively few amino groups are modified but ATP was found to afford partial protection against inactivation by methylmaleic anhydride. Na(+)+K(+)-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase activity is partly restored to the dimethylmaleylated preparation by hydrolysis of the dimethylmaleyl-amide bonds but not if more than about 20% of the amino groups have been acylated. 4. Supernatants obtained by high-speed centrifugation of the dimethylmaleylated preparation contained up to 45% of the total protein with less than 10% of the total phospholipid. Methylmaleyl and benzenetricarboxylyl derivatives of the enzyme preparation behaved similarly but tetrafluorosuccinylated material was almost entirely deposited by centrifugation.

THE ACTION OF THIOL REAGENTS ON THE ADENOSINE-TRIPHOSPHATASE ACTIVITIES OF HEAVY MEROMYOSIN AND L-MYOSIN.

Project description:1. The Ca(2+)-activated adenosine triphosphatase of heavy meromyosin is maximally stimulated by lower relative molar concentrations of phenylmercuric acetate than are required with myosin. 2. Stimulation of the Ca(2+)-activated adenosine triphosphatase of both heavy meromyosin and myosin by thiol reagents is markedly affected by ionic strength, the effects being greater with the former than with the latter. In particular, N-ethylmaleimide strongly inhibits the Ca(2+)-activated adenosine triphosphatase of heavy meromyosin at ionic strength below about 0.2. 3. The precise behaviour of the thiol reagents at low ionic strength is slightly modified by the age of the heavy meromyosin and myosin preparations. 4. Stimulation of the Mg(2+)-activated adenosine triphosphatase of heavy meromyosin by thiol reagents is relatively insensitive to ionic strength. 5. The adenosine triphosphatases of heavy meromyosin and myosin activated by potassium chloride in the absence of bivalent activators are inhibited by thiol reagents over the range of ionic strength at which stimulation occurs in the presence of calcium chloride as activator. 6. The modifying effects of potassium chloride and sodium chloride are qualitatively different when heavy-meromyosin adenosine triphosphatase is stimulated with phenylmercuric acetate. No such difference is observed when the enzyme is stimulated with N-ethylmaleimide.

Arylsulfonylacetamides as bifunctional reagents for alkene aminoarylation.

Project description:Alkene aminoarylation with a single, bifunctional reagent is a concise synthetic strategy. We report a catalytic protocol for the addition of arylsulfonylacetamides across electron-rich alkenes with complete anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity and excellent diastereoselectivity to provide 2,2-diarylethylamines. In this process, single-electron alkene oxidation enables carbon-nitrogen bond formation to provide a key benzylic radical poised for a Smiles-Truce 1,5-aryl shift. This reaction is redox-neutral, exhibits broad functional group compatibility, and occurs at room temperature with loss of sulfur dioxide. As this process is driven by visible light, uses readily available starting materials, and demonstrates convergent synthesis, it is well suited for use in a variety of synthetic endeavors.
