Purification and properties of the adenosine triphosphatase released from the liver mitochondrial membrane by chloroform.

ABSTRACT: 1. Soluble ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) activity is released when rat liver submitochondrial particles are shaken with chloroform, provided that ATP or glycerol is present in the suspending medium. The extraction is very rapid and appears to be complete. 2. The ATPase of the chloroform extract is about 50% pure and can be readily purified to a specific activity of 60-70mumol/min per mg of protein by (NH(4))(2)SO(4) fractionation and column chromatography on Sephadex G-200. 3. The particulate and soluble ATPases have many similar properties, including their K(m) values for ATP, activation by various metal ions, hydrolytic activity with other nucleotides and stimulation by bicarbonate ions. 4. Unlike the particulate enzyme, the soluble enzyme is cold-labile and insensitive to oligomycin. 5. The molecular weight indicated by the mobility of the soluble ATPase on Sepharose 6B is 360000. 6. The soluble ATPase combines very readily with liver submitochondrial particles depleted of ATPase by salt extraction, and oligomycin-sensitivity is restored. Very little recombination of the enzyme occurs with chloroform-extracted particles. 7. The soluble enzyme contains orcinol-reactive material, suggesting that it may be a glycoprotein. The carbohydrate content was estimated to be 1-2% by weight. 8. It is concluded that the liver ATPase obtained by the chloroform extraction method of Beechey, Hubbard, Linnett, Mitchell & Munn [(1975) Biochem. J.148, 533-537] is similar to other preparations described previously and that this method is superior in simplicity and speed.

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.

Effect of streptozotocin-diabetes on rat liver mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase turnover.

Project description:The apparent turnover rates of some mitochondrial enzymes can be modified in diabetes. We studied the effect of streptozotocin-diabetes on the half-life of a protein tightly bound to the inner membrane, ATPase. The half-life (t 1/2), measured by the double-isotope technique, decreased by approx. 20% in diabetes (from approximately equal to 2.56 days in controls to approximately equal to 2.06 days in diabetic rats). These results suggest that diabetes produces an increase in degradation of ATPase by a mechanism which is not yet clear, possibly influenced by alterations induced by diabetes in hepatic lysosomes that are associated with hepatic autophagy.

A bacterial chloroform reductive dehalogenase: purification and biochemical characterization.

Project description:We report herein the purification of a chloroform (CF)-reducing enzyme, TmrA, from the membrane fraction of a strict anaerobe Dehalobacter sp. strain UNSWDHB to apparent homogeneity with an approximate 23-fold increase in relative purity compared to crude lysate. The membrane fraction obtained by ultracentrifugation was solubilized in Triton X-100 in the presence of glycerol, followed by purification by anion exchange chromatography. The molecular mass of the purified TmrA was determined to be 44.5 kDa by SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF/TOF. The purified dehalogenase reductively dechlorinated CF to dichloromethane in vitro with reduced methyl viologen as the electron donor at a specific activity of (1.27 ± 0.04) × 103 units mg protein-1 . The optimum temperature and pH for the activity were 45°C and 7.2, respectively. The UV-visible spectrometric analysis indicated the presence of a corrinoid and two [4Fe-4S] clusters, predicted from the amino acid sequence. This is the first report of the production, purification and biochemical characterization of a CF reductive dehalogenase.

Phospholipid association with the bovine cardiac mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase.

Project description:The association of different phospholipids with a lipid-depleted oligomycin-sensitive ATPase from bovine cardiac mitochondria [Serrano, Kanner & Racker (1976) J. Biol. Chem. 251, 2453-2461] has been examined using three approaches. First, reconstitution of the ATPase with different synthetic diacyl phospholipids resulted in a 2-10-fold stimulation of ATPase specific activity depending upon the particular phospholipid employed. The phospholipid headgroup region displayed the following order of ATPase reactivation potential: dioleoylphosphatidylglycerol greater than dioleoylphosphatidic acid greater than dioleoylphosphatidylcholine. Furthermore, the ATPase showed higher levels of specific activity when reconstituted with dioleoyl phospholipid derivatives compared with dimyristoyl derivatives. Second, examination of the phospholipid remaining associated with the lipid-depleted ATPase upon purification showed that phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and diphosphatidylglycerol were present. No relative enrichment of any of these phospholipids (compared with their distribution in submitochondrial particles) was noted. Therefore, no preferential association between the ATPase and any one phospholipid could be found in the mitochondrial ATPase. Third, the sodium cholate-mediated phospholipid exchange procedure was employed for studying the phospholipid requirements of the ATPase. Replacement of about 50% of the mitochondrial phospholipid remaining with the lipid-depleted ATPase could be achieved utilizing either synthetic phosphatidic acid or phosphatidylcholine. Examination of the displaced mitochondrial phospholipid showed that phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and diphosphatidylglycerol were replaced with equal facility.

Partial purification and properties of rat liver mitochondrial polynucleotide phosphorylase.

Project description:1. Polynucleotide phosphorylase was partially purified from the inner membrane of rat liver mitochondria. 2. The partially purified particulate enzyme catalyses phosphorolysis of poly(A), poly(C), poly(U) and RNA to nucleoside diphosphates. 3. It is devoid of nucleoside diphosphate-polymerization activity. 4. Variable amounts of ADP/P(i)-exchange activity are associated with the polynucleotide phosphorylase and are probably due to a different enzyme. 5. ADP is the preferred substrate for exchange, and little or no reaction occurs with other nucleoside diphosphates, but ATP/P(i)-exchange takes place at one-third the rate observed with ADP. 6. The partially purified enzyme is free from the phosphatases found in the crude mitochondrial inner membrane, but is associated with an endonuclease activity and some adenylate kinase activity; no cytidylate kinase activity analogous to the latter was detectable.

The mother-cell-membrane adenosine triphosphatase of sporulating Clostridium pasteurianum.

Project description:1. Sporulation of Clostridium pasteurianum effects several changes in its proton-translocating cell-membrane H(+)-ATPase. Notable among these are the acquisition of susceptibility to activation by trypsin and a changed protein subunit composition. 2. A protein was isolated from the mother-cell membrane that inhibited the ATP phosphohydrolase activity of purified vegetative-cell-membrane H(+)-ATPase [BF(0)F(1) complex, which consists of soluble ATPase (BF(1)) and the proton-channel component (BF(0))] and rendered it susceptible to trypsin activation. 3. This trypsin-sensitive inhibitor protein had a molecular weight of 10000 and on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis was indistinguishable from the novel protein subunit e of the mother-cell-membrane ATPase 4. In bacteriorhodopsin-containing everted membrane vesicles, the specific ATP synthetase activity of the mother-cell-membrane ATPase was significantly greater than that of the vegetative-cell-membrane ATPase. 5. Treatment with trypsin-sensitive inhibitor protein of artificial proteoliposomes containing bacteriorhodopsin and vegetative-cell-membrane H(+)-ATPase (BF(0)F(1)) significantly increased the specific ATP synthetase activity of this enzyme. 6. The ATP synthetase activity of crude cell-membrane preparations from cultures of Clostridium pasteurianum increased during that period in the course of sporulation when the membrane ATP phosphohydrolase was both most rapidly decreasing in specific activity and acquiring its susceptibility to activation by trypsin.

Immunosuppression via adenosine receptor activation by adenosine monophosphate released from apoptotic cells.

Project description:Apoptosis is coupled with recruitment of macrophages for engulfment of dead cells, and with compensatory proliferation of neighboring cells. Yet, this death process is silent, and it does not cause inflammation. The molecular mechanisms underlying anti-inflammatory nature of the apoptotic process remains poorly understood. In this study, we found that the culture supernatant of apoptotic cells activated the macrophages to express anti-inflammatory genes such as Nr4a and Thbs1. A high level of AMP accumulated in the apoptotic cell supernatant in a Pannexin1-dependent manner. A nucleotidase inhibitor and A2a adenosine receptor antagonist inhibited the apoptotic supernatant-induced gene expression, suggesting AMP was metabolized to adenosine by an ecto-5'-nucleotidase expressed on macrophages, to activate the macrophage A2a adenosine receptor. Intraperitoneal injection of zymosan into Adora2a- or Panx1-deficient mice produced high, sustained levels of inflammatory mediators in the peritoneal lavage. These results indicated that AMP from apoptotic cells suppresses inflammation as a 'calm down' signal. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.02172.001.

Purification and properties of adenosine 5'-triphospae-D-glucose 6-phosphotransferase from rat liver.

Project description:1. An 870-fold purification of glucokinase from rat liver is described which involves ammonium sulphate fractionation and the use of DEAE-Sephadex, DEAE-cellulose and polyacrylamide columns. 2. The preparation is free of any interfering enzymes and has a specific activity of 8mumoles/min./mg. of protein. 3. Glucokinase catalyses the phosphorylation of glucose, mannose and 2-deoxyglucose. 4. The enzyme is inhibited by high concentrations of glucose 6-phosphate only; ADP is an inhibitor whose effect depends on the Mg(2+) concentration. 5. The properties of glucokinase are compared briefly with those of other phosphotransferases.
