Kinetics and regulation of the myofibrillar adenosine triphosphatase.

ABSTRACT: 1. The steady-state kinetic behaviour of the ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) of intact myofibrils was studied in the presence of both high and low concentrations of Ca2+ (0.25 mM and less than 10 nM respectively). 2. Kinetic data were collected over the initial linear phase of the assay, which lasts for 20--60s. To obtain consistent data we found it necessary to use either fresh myofibril preparations or preparations that had been stored in the presence of thiol compounds. 3. When assayed in the presence of 0.25 mM-Ca2+, the myofibrillar ATPase obeyed Michaelis-Menten kinetics over the range 0.03--5.0 mM-MgATP (Km 16 +/- 6 micrometer, V 0.4 +/- 0.1 mumol/min per mg). 4. At low Ca2+ concentrations (less than 10 nM) the myofibrillar ATPase displayed pronounced substrate inhibition, which was not observed at high Ca2+ concentrations. Thus increasing the MgATP concentration had the net effect of decreasing the ATPase activity at low Ca2+ relative to that at high Ca2+. This preferential effect of MgATP on the low-Ca2+ ATPase may be important in Ca2+ control. 5. The substrate inhibition that was observed at low Ca2+ was lost on storage or thiol modification of the myofibrils. 6. Under physiological conditions (2 mM-MgATP, I 0.15, pH 7.0), the ATPase of fresh and thiol-protected myofibrils displayed approx. 100-fold activation by Ca2+.

Enzyme kinetics of deoxyuridine triphosphatase from Western corn rootworm.

Project description:ObjectiveThe Western corn rootworm (WCR), Diabrotica virgifera virgifera, is a highly adaptable insect pest that has evolved resistance to a variety of control strategies, including insecticides. Therefore, it is interesting to examine how housekeeping proteins in WCR have been changed under WCR-controlling strategies. In this study, we focused on one of such proteins in WCR, a ubiquitous enzyme 5'-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase (dUTPase). In the thymidine synthetic pathway, dUTPase hydrolyzes deoxyuridine triphosphate (dUTP) and supplies the substrate, deoxyuridine monophosphate, for the thymidylate synthase (TS). It decreases the cellular content of uracil, reducing uracil misincorporation into DNA. Suppressing the dUTPase activity, therefore, contributes to thymineless death. In this study, we investigated the enzymatic properties of dUTPase.ResultsThe WCR dUTPase gene (DUT) was synthesized with the addition of His-tag corresponding DNA sequence and then cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, and the protein product was purified. The product of WCR DUT hydrolyzed dUTP and was designated as dUTPase. WCR dUTPase did not hydrolyze dATP, dTTP, dCTP, or dGTP. WCR dUTPase was analyzed via size-exclusion chromatography and exhibited a molecular weight corresponding to that of trimer. The present format can be interpreted as nuclear trimer type. Possible isomers will be examined once transcriptome analyses are conducted.

Kinetics of interaction of adenosine diphosphate and adenosine triphosphate with adenosine triphosphatase of bovine heart submitochondrial particles.

Project description:The short preincubation of submitochondrial particles with low concentrations of ADP in the presence of Mg2+ results in a complete loss of their ATPase and inosine triphosphatase activities. Other nucleoside diphosphates (IDP and GDP) do not affect the ATPase activity. The ADP-inhibited ATPase can be activated in a time-dependent manner by treatment of submitochondrial particles with the enzyme converting ADP into ATP (phosphoenolpyruvate plus pyruvate kinase). The activaton is a first-order reaction with rate constant 0.2 min-1 at 25 degrees C. The rate constant of activation is increased in the presence of ATP up to 2 min-1, and this increase shows saturation kinetics with Km value equal to that for ATPase reaction itself (10(-4) M at 25 degrees C at pH 8.0). The experimental results obtained are consistent with the model where two alternative pathways of ADP dissociation from the inhibitory site of ATPase exist; one is spontaneous dissociation and the second is ATP-dependent dissociation through the formation of the ternary complex between ADP, the enzyme and ATP. ADP-induced inactivation and ATP-dependent activation of ATPase activity of submitochondrial particles is accompanied by the same directed change of their ability to catalyse the ATP-dependent reverse electron transport from succinate to NAD+. The possible implication of the model suggested is discussed in terms of functional role of the inhibitory high-affinity binding site for ADP in the mitochondrial ATPase.

The effects of environmental temperature on the properties of myofibrillar adenosine triphosphatase from various species of fish.

Project description:1. Myofibrillar adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activities were measured for white myotomal muscle of 19 species of fish. 2. The activity was measured at different temperatures and after periods of preincubation at 37 degrees C. 3. The inactivation half-life at 37 degrees C depended on environmental temperature, increasing as the temperature increased. 4. Cold-water fish had higher myofibrillar adenosine triphosphatase activity at low temperatures than had warm-water fish. 5. The significance of these results is discussed.

Synonymous mutation in adenosine triphosphatase copper-transporting beta causes enhanced exon skipping in Wilson disease.

Project description:Wilson disease (WD) is caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in adenosine triphosphatase copper-transporting beta (ATP7B); however, genetic testing identifies only one or no pathogenic ATP7B variant in a number of patients with WD. Synonymous single-nucleotide sequence variants have been recognized as pathogenic in individual families. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence and disease mechanism of the synonymous variant c.2292C>T (p.Phe764=) in WD. A cohort of 280 patients with WD heterozygous for a single ATP7B variant was investigated for the presence of c.2292C>T (p.Phe764=). In this cohort of otherwise genetically unexplained WD, the allele frequency of c.2292C>T (p.Phe764=) was 2.5% (14 of 560) compared to 7.1 × 10-6 in the general population (2 of 280,964 in the Genome Aggregation Database; p < 10-5 ; Fisher exact test). In an independent United Kingdom (UK) cohort, 2 patients with WD homozygous for p.Phe764= were identified. RNA analysis of ATP7B transcripts from patients homozygous or heterozygous for c.2292C>T and control fibroblasts showed that this variant caused high expression of an ATP7B transcript variant lacking exon 8. Conclusion: The synonymous ATP7B variant c.2292C>T (p.Phe764=) causes abnormal messenger RNA processing of ATP7B transcripts and is associated with WD in compound heterozygotes and homozygotes.

Kinetic mechanism of mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase. ADP-specific inhibition as revealed by the steady-state kinetics.

Project description:1. A substantial increase of the initial rate of ATP hydrolysis was observed after preincubation of bovine heart submitochondrial particles with phosphoenolpyruvate and pyruvate kinase. 2. The activation was accompanied by an increase of Vmax, without change of Km for ATP. 3. The activated particles catalysed the biphasic hydrolysis of ATP in the presence of an ATP-regenerating system; the initial rapid phase was followed by a second, slower, phase in a time-dependent fashion. 4. The higher the ATP concentration used as a substrate, the higher is the rate of transition between these two phases. 5. The particles catalysed the hydrolysis of ITP with a lag phase; after preincubation with phosphoenolpyruvate and pyruvate kinase, ITP was hydrolysed at a constant rate. 6. Qualitatively the same phenomena were observed when soluble mitochondrial ATPase (F1-ATPase) prepared by the conventional method in the presence of ATP was used as nucleotide triphosphatase. 7. A kinetic scheme is proposed, in which the intermediate active enzyme-product complex (E.ADP) formed during ATP hydrolysis is in slow equilibrium with the inactive E*.ADP complex forming as a result of dislocation of ADP from the active site of ATPase to the other site, which is not in rapid equilibrium with the surrounding medium.

Adenosine triphosphatase pontin is overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma and coregulated with reptin through a new posttranslational mechanism.

Project description:UNLABELLED: Reptin and Pontin are related ATPases associated with stoichiometric amounts in several complexes involved in chromatin remodeling, transcriptional regulation, and telomerase activity. We found that Reptin was up-regulated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and that down-regulation of Reptin led to growth arrest. We show here that Pontin messenger RNA (mRNA) is also up-regulated in human HCC 3.9-fold as compared to nontumor liver (P = 0.0004). Pontin expression was a strong independent factor of poor prognosis in a multivariate analysis. As for Reptin, depletion of Pontin in HuH7 cells with small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) led to growth arrest. Remarkably, Pontin depletion led to down-regulation of Reptin as shown with western blot, and vice versa. Whereas siRNAs induced a decrease of their cognate mRNA targets, they did not affect the transcripts of the partner protein. Translation of Pontin or Reptin was not altered when the partner protein was silenced. However, pulse-chase experiments demonstrated that newly synthesized Pontin or Reptin stability was reduced in Reptin- or Pontin-depleted cells, respectively. This phenomenon was reversed upon inhibition of proteasome or ubiquitin-activating enzyme (E1). In addition, proteasome inhibition could partly restore Pontin steady-state levels in Reptin-depleted cells, as shown by western blot. This restoration was not observed when cells were also treated with cycloheximide, thus confirming that proteasomal degradation in this setting was restricted to newly synthesized Pontin. CONCLUSION: Reptin and Pontin protein levels are strictly controlled by a posttranslational mechanism involving proteasomal degradation of newly synthesized proteins. These data demonstrate a tight regulatory and reciprocal interaction between Reptin and Pontin, which may in turn lead to the maintenance of their 1:1 stoichiometry.

MgATP-induced inhibition of the adenosine triphosphatase activity of the chloroform-released mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase.

Project description:1. Preincubation of the ox heart chloroform-released mitochondrial ATPase with MgATP results in a time-dependent inhibition of ATPase activity. No re-activation occurs when MgATP remains in the preincubation medium. The enzyme activity returns when all the MgATP in the preincubation system has been hydrolysed. 2. The mechanism of the MgATP-induced inhibition was examined. Inhibition occurs on incubation with MgATP or other hydrolysable nucleotides. Incubation with MgADP or Pi does not cause any inhibition. Neither freshly bound adenine nucleotide nor Pi is associated with inhibited enzyme. The rate of MgATP-induced inhibition correlates with the rate of ATP hydrolysis in the preincubation medium. Changing the rate of ATP hydrolysis at a fixed concentration of ATP also changes the rate of MgATP-induced inhibition by the same proportion. The inhibition is thus related to the ATP-hydrolysis process itself. 3. We propose that intermediate enzyme species of the ATP-hydrolytic sequence can undergo a conformational change to form inhibited species. The kinetics of the inhibition suggest that a substrate-activation step is involved in ATP hydrolysis and MgATP-induced inhibition. 4. The effects of the nature of the preincubation medium on the process of MgATP-induced inhibition and its reversal were examined.

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.

Deletion of the titin N2B region accelerates myofibrillar force development but does not alter relaxation kinetics.

Project description:Cardiac titin is the main determinant of sarcomere stiffness during diastolic relaxation. To explore whether titin stiffness affects the kinetics of cardiac myofibrillar contraction and relaxation, we used subcellular myofibrils from the left ventricles of homozygous and heterozygous N2B-knockout mice which express truncated cardiac titins lacking the unique elastic N2B region. Compared with myofibrils from wild-type mice, myofibrils from knockout and heterozygous mice exhibit increased passive myofibrillar stiffness. To determine the kinetics of Ca(2+)-induced force development (rate constant kACT), myofibrils from knockout, heterozygous and wild-type mice were stretched to the same sarcomere length (2.3 µm) and rapidly activated with Ca(2+). Additionally, mechanically induced force-redevelopment kinetics (rate constant kTR) were determined by slackening and re-stretching myofibrils during Ca(2+)-mediated activation. Myofibrils from knockout mice exhibited significantly higher kACT, kTR and maximum Ca(2+)-activated tension than myofibrils from wild-type mice. By contrast, the kinetic parameters of biphasic force relaxation induced by rapidly reducing [Ca(2+)] were not significantly different among the three genotypes. These results indicate that increased titin stiffness promotes myocardial contraction by accelerating the formation of force-generating cross-bridges without decelerating relaxation.

Ouabain binding to phospholipid-dependent adenosine triphosphatase.

Project description:The role of phospholipid in the binding of ouabain to the (Na+ + K+)-dependent adenosine triphosphatase was studied. Enzyme preparations obtained from rabbit kidney were treated with Lubrol WX to remove the phospholipid component essential for ATPase activity. Reconstituted enzyme samples were prepared by the addition of phosphatidylserine and sedimentation of an enzymically active lipid-protein complex. The binding of ouabain to both kinds of preparations was measured under equilibrium conditions with the use of 3H-labelled ouabain and initial ouabain concentrations in the range 0.01-1 micrometer. The main findings were: (i) (Mg2+ + Pi) promoted binding of significant quantities of ouabain only to the reconstituted enzyme; (ii) the absence of added Na+, (Mg2+ + ATP) similarly promoted binding only to the reconstituted samples; (iii) the addition of Na+ in the presence of (Mg2+ + ATP) increased the amount of ouabain bound to the reconstituted enzyme when the ouabain concentration was below about 0.1 micrometer, but it had no effect when the ouabain concentration was about 1 micrometer; (iv) (Mg2+ + ATP) induced ouabain binding to the depleted enzyme only when Na+ was also added; (v) the amount of ouabain bound to both depleted and reconstituted enzymes was the same in the presence of (Mg2+ + ATP + Na+); (vi) the reconstituted enzyme appeared to have a greater affinity for Na+ than did the depleted enzyme.
