A calcium ion-dependent adenosine triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolase in plasma membrane from rat liver. Demonstration that the adenosine triphosphate analogues adenosine 5'-[betagamma-imido]triphosphate and adenosine 5'-[betagamma-methylene]-triphosphate are substrates for the enzyme.

ABSTRACT: An ATP pyrophosphohydrolase in a rat liver plasma-membrane subfraction was studied with respect to specific Ca2+ activation of the beta-phosphate bond hydrolysis. ATP and, in addition, adenosine 5'-[betagamma-imido]triphosphate and adenosine 5'-[betagamma-methlylene]triphosphate were substrates for Ca2+-stimulated enzymic hydrolysis of the beta-phosphate bond. A 15-fold activation was observed by raising the free Ca2+ concentration from 10(-7) to 10(-5) M. Mg2+ had little effect. Solubilization in 1% deoxycholate and partial purification on a sucrose density gradient resulted in a 5-fold increase in specific activity with unaltered Ca2+-stimulation pattern. The possible importance of the enzyme in Ca2+ transport is discussed.

Effects of cholera toxin and guanosine 5'-[betagamma-imido]triphosphate on beta-adrenergic-receptor affinity.

Project description:A comparison was made of the effects of cholera toxin and p[NH]ppG on the binding affinity of beta-adrenergic receptors in toad erythrocyte membranes. This was determined by studying the ability of isoproterenol and propranolol to compete for the receptor with (-)-[3H]dihydroalprenolol. p[NH]ppG decreased the receptor affinity for the agonist isoproterenol (i.e. a 'right' shift in the displacement-concentration curve), but was without effect on the affinity for the antagonist propranolol. Toad erythrocyte membranes after treatment with cholera toxin exhibited increased receptor affinity for isoproterenol (i.e. a 'left' shift in the displacement curve), but did not affect the affinity for propranolol. p[NH[ppG was able to exert its right shift even in cholera-toxin treated membranes. The ability of cholera toxin to alter beta-adrenergic-receptor affinity is interpreted as further evidence that the toxin affects the nucleotide-regulatory component of adenylate cyclase. The regulatory component affected may be the catecholamine-sensitive guanosine triphosphatase.

Potassium ion-stimulated and sodium ion-dependent adenosine diphosphate-adenosine triphosphate exchange activity in a kidney microsomal fraction.

Project description:1. K(+) did not affect the Mg(2+)-dependent transphosphorylation but markedly increased the Na(+)-stimulated ADP-ATP exchange rate mediated by a microsomal fraction from guinea-pig kidney. 2. Rb(+), Cs(+), NH(4) (+) and Li(+) were equally effective in stimulating the Na(+)-dependent ADP-ATP exchange activity. 3. Treatment of the microsomal fraction with N-ethylmaleimide or increased concentrations of Mg(2+) prevented stimulation of the Na(+)-dependent exchange reaction by K(+). 4. Ouabain (2.5mum) inhibited ATP hydrolysis by 33% but did not decrease the K(+)-stimulated Na(+)-dependent ADP-ATP exchange rate. 5. A possible mechanism for stimulation of exchange activity by K(+) is discussed.

Amorphous calcium phosphate nanoparticles using adenosine triphosphate as an organic phosphorus source for promoting tendon-bone healing.

Project description:BackgroundRotator cuff tear (RCT) is a common problem of the musculoskeletal system. With the advantage of promoting bone formation, calcium phosphate materials have been widely used to augment tendon-bone healing. However, only enhancing bone regeneration may be not enough for improving tendon-bone healing. Angiogenesis is another fundamental factor required for tendon-bone healing. Therefore, it's necessary to develop a convenient and reliable method to promote osteogenesis and angiogenesis simultaneously, thereby effectively promoting tendon-bone healing.MethodsThe amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) nanoparticles with dual biological activities of osteogenesis and angiogenesis were prepared by a simple low-temperature aqueous solution method using adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as an organic phosphorus source. The activities of osteogenesis and angiogenesis and the effect on the tendon-bone healing of ACP nanoparticles were tested in vitro and in a rat model of acute RCT.ResultsThe ACP nanoparticles with a diameter of tens of nanometers were rich in bioactive adenosine. In vitro, we confirmed that ACP nanoparticles could enhance osteogenesis and angiogenesis. In vivo, radiological and histological evaluations demonstrated that ACP nanoparticles could enhance bone and blood vessels formation at the tendon-bone junction. Biomechanical testing showed that ACP nanoparticles improved the biomechanical strength of the tendon-bone junction and ultimately promoted tendon-bone healing of rotator cuff.ConclusionsWe successfully confirmed that ACP nanoparticles could promote tendon-bone healing. ACP nanoparticles are a promising biological nanomaterial in augmenting tendon-bone healing.

Kinetic co-operativity of wheat-germ RNA polymerase II with adenosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate as substrate.

Project description:A kinetic study of productive RNA chain elongation indicates that adenosine 5'-[beta gamma-imido]triphosphate can serve as substrate in reactions catalysed by purified wheat-germ RNA polymerase II on a poly[d(A-T)] template. However, in contrast with the results obtained with the natural substrate ATP, the double-reciprocal plots, 1/velocity versus 1/[nucleotide], are not linear but characteristic of apparent negative co-operativity. The extent of the kinetic co-operativity is modified when the reactions are conducted in the additional presence of fixed amounts of an alternative substrate such as ATP or inhibitors such as dATP or cordycepin triphosphate. Analogous results are obtained whether the reactions are carried out in the presence of Mg2+ or Mn2+ as the metal ion cofactor. However, the data show that with Mn2+ the RNA polymerase is less specific in substrate recognition than with Mg2+. Tentative kinetic models are proposed to account for the rate measurements.

Transition State Analysis of Adenosine Triphosphate Phosphoribosyltransferase.

Project description:Adenosine triphosphate phosphoribosyltransferase (ATP-PRT) catalyzes the first step in histidine biosynthesis, a pathway essential to microorganisms and a validated target for antimicrobial drug design. The ATP-PRT enzyme catalyzes the reversible substitution reaction between phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate and ATP. The enzyme exists in two structurally distinct forms, a short- and a long-form enzyme. These forms share a catalytic core dimer but bear completely different allosteric domains and thus distinct quaternary assemblies. Understanding enzymatic transition states can provide essential information on the reaction mechanisms and insight into how differences in domain structure influence the reaction chemistry, as well as providing a template for inhibitor design. In this study, the transition state structures for ATP-PRT enzymes from Campylobacter jejuni and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (long-form enzymes) and from Lactococcus lactis (short-form) were determined and compared. Intrinsic kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) were obtained at reaction sensitive positions for the reverse reaction using phosphonoacetic acid, an alternative substrate to the natural substrate pyrophosphate. The experimental KIEs demonstrated mechanistic similarities between the three enzymes and provided experimental boundaries for quantum chemical calculations to characterize the transition states. Predicted transition state structures support a dissociative reaction mechanism with a DN*AN‡ transition state. Weak interactions from the incoming nucleophile and a fully dissociated ATP adenine are predicted regardless of the difference in overall structure and quaternary assembly. These studies establish that despite significant differences in the quaternary assembly and regulatory machinery between ATP-PRT enzymes from different sources, the reaction chemistry and catalytic mechanism are conserved.

Adenosine triphosphate stimulates Aquifex aeolicus MutL endonuclease activity.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Human PMS2 (hPMS2) homologues act to nick 5' and 3' to misincorporated nucleotides during mismatch repair in organisms that lack MutH. Mn(++) was previously found to stimulate the endonuclease activity of these homologues. ATP was required for the nicking activity of hPMS2 and yPMS1, but was reported to inhibit bacterial MutL proteins from Thermus thermophilus and Aquifex aeolicus that displayed homology to hPMS2. Mutational analysis has identified the DQHA(X)(2)E(X)(4)E motif present in the C-terminus of PMS2 homologues as important for endonuclease activity. METHODOLOGIES/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS:We examined the effect ATP had on the Mn(++) induced nicking of supercoiled pBR322 by full-length and mutant A. aeolicus MutL (Aae MutL) proteins. Assays were single time point, enzyme titration experiments or reaction time courses. The maximum velocity for MutL nicking was determined to be 1.6+/-0.08x10(-5) s(-1) and 4.2+/-0.3x10(-5) s(-1) in the absence and presence of ATP, respectively. AMPPNP stimulated the nicking activity to a similar extent as ATP. A truncated Aae MutL protein composed of only the C-terminal 123 amino acid residues was found to nick supercoiled DNA. Furthermore, mutations in the conserved C-terminal DQHA(X)(2)E(X)(4)E and CPHGRP motifs were shown to abolish Aae MutL endonuclease activity. CONCLUSIONS:ATP stimulated the Mn(++) induced endonuclease activity of Aae MutL. Experiments utilizing AMPPNP implied that the stimulation did not require ATP hydrolysis. A mutation in the DQHA(X)(2)E(X)(4)E motif of Aae MutL further supported the role of this region in endonclease activity. For the first time, to our knowledge, we demonstrate that changing the histidine residue in the conserved CPHGRP motif abolishes endonucleolytic activity of a hPMS2 homologue. Finally, the C-terminal 123 amino acid residues of Aae MutL were sufficient to display Mn(++) induced nicking activity.

Separation of adenosine diphosphate--adenosine triphosphate-exchange activity from the cerebral microsomal sodium-plus-potassium ion-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase.

Project description: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.

The magnesium ion-dependent adenosine triphosphatase of myosin. Two-step processes of adenosine triphosphate association and adenosine diphosphate dissociation.

Project description:The kinetics of protein-fluorescence change when rabbit skeletal myosin subfragment 1 is mixed with ATP or adenosine 5'-(3-thiotriphosphate) in the presence of Mg(2+) are incompatible with a simple bimolecular association process. A substrate-induced conformation change with DeltaG(0)<-24kJ.mol(-1) (i.e. DeltaG(0) could be more negative) at pH8 and 21 degrees C is proposed as the additional step in the binding of ATP. The postulated binding mechanism is M+ATPright harpoon over left harpoonM.ATPright harpoon over left harpoonM*.ATP, where the association constant for the first step, K(1), is 4.5x10(3)m(-1) at I 0.14m and the rate of isomerization is 400s(-1). In the presence of Mg(2+), ADP binds in a similar fashion to ATP, the rate of the conformation change also being 400s(-1), but with DeltaG(0) for that process being -14kJ.mol(-1). The effect of increasing ionic strength is to decrease K(1), the kinetics of the conformation change being essentially unaltered. Alternative schemes involving a two-step binding process for ATP to subfragment 1 are possible. These are not excluded by the experimental results, although they are perhaps less likely because they imply uncharacteristically slow bimolecular association rate constants.

Synthesis of a Biologically Important Adenosine Triphosphate Analogue, ApppD.

Project description:The chemical synthesis of a adenosine triphosphate analogue, 1-adenosin-5'-yl 3-(3-methylbut-2-enyl) triphosphoric acid diester (ApppD), is described. ApppD is known to be an active metabolite of the mevalonate pathway in the human body like its structural isomer isopentenyl ester of ATP (ApppI). Very recently, ApppI has been found to possess novel function(s); now it will also be possible to examine the effects of ApppD more precisely because it can be synthesized in reasonable amounts. 1-Adenosin-5'-yl 3-(3-methylbut-2-enyl) diphosphoric acid diester (AppD; a adenosine diphosphate analogue) was also isolated from the synthesis mixture. Both ApppD and AppD were characterized by 1H, 13C, 31P NMR and mass spectrometry methods.

Calcium ion-induced uptakes and transormations of substrates in liver mitochondria.

Project description:Substrate-depleted rat liver mitochondria will reaccumulate malate, succinate, oxoglutarate, beta-hydroxybutyrate and glutamate if provided with an energy source and Ca(2+) (or Ca(2+) and Mn(2+)). The energy requirement for ion uptake by fresh mitochondria causes a transient oxidation of their NADH and presumably this leads to an increased oxaloacetate concentration. A consequence is the promotion of formation of citrate, which tends to remain in the particles, provided the pH is above 7. Analyses made of systems blocked with fluorocitrate show that citrate accumulates when Ca(2+) is added with the following substrates; (a) pyruvate in the presence of ATP or malate, (b) palmitoyl-l(-)-carnitine in presence of malate and (c) oxoglutarate. Lowering the pH, even to 6.8, causes the citrate to emerge. This could be the basis of a cellular control mechanism. The generation of citrate in response to Ca(2+) can explain the stoichiometry of one proton ejected per Ca(2+) ion taken up. The new carboxyl group formed from acetyl-CoA when it condenses with oxaloacetate provides an internal anionic charge and a proton to emerge when Ca(2+) enters.
