The mode of inhibition by calcium of cell-membrane adenosine-triphosphatase activity.

ABSTRACT: 1. The mechanism of the inhibition of Na(+)-plus-K(+)-activated adenosine triphosphatase by calcium was investigated with an enzyme preparation from rabbit kidney cortex and with membranes of human erythrocytes. 2. CaATP, rather than ionic Ca(2+), acts as a competitive inhibitor, competing with MgATP in the Na(+)-plus-K(+)-activated adenosine-triphosphatase reaction. 3. There appears to be no competition between calcium and Na(+) for the activation of adenosine triphosphatase. 4. The inhibition of Na(+)-plus-K(+)-activated adenosine triphosphatase of cell membranes by low concentrations of CaATP and the consequent need of intact cells to keep the cytoplasmic concentration of calcium low relative to that of magnesium suggests a raison d'être for the mitochondrial calcium pump.

Calcium ion-dependent adenosine triphosphatase activity and plasma-membrane phosphorylation in the human neutrophil.

Project description:A plasma-membrane fraction was isolated from a post-nuclear extract of human neutrophils by centrifugation through a linear sucrose density gradient. This fraction exhibited a Ca2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity that could be differentiated from mitochondrial or myosin ATPase and from plasma-membrane Mg2+-dependent ATPase. When assayed in the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP, the Ca2+-dependent ATPase reaction resulted in the formation of an acid-resistant hydroxylamine-sensitive bond between the gamma-[32P] phosphate group and a membrane protein subunit with an apparent mol.wt. of 135000. Half-maximal activating effect of Ca2+ was found at 82nM and 0.18 microM for the ATPase and the formation of the 32P-membrane complex respectively. Generation of the phosphorylated product attained the steady state at 0 degrees C by about 30s, and was rapidly reversed by ADP. These results suggest that the Ca2+-activated ATPase reaction occurs through the formation of a phosphoprotein intermediate, similar to that described for some Ca2+-dependent ATPase enzymes associated with Ca2+ transport. The possibility thus exists that the neutrophil Ca2+-dependent ATPase catalyses a process of Ca2+ extrusion from the cell, thereby participating in the regulation of several Ca2+-dependent neutrophil functions.

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.

MgATP-induced inhibition of the adenosine triphosphatase activity of submitochondrial particles.

Project description:1. The ATP-hydrolytic activity of ox heart submitochondrial particles can be increased from 2-3 mumol/min per mg of protein to 10-12 mumol/min per mg of protein by incubation in media containing 50 mM-Na2B4O7. This process appears to be due to the partial release of inhibitor protein from the particles. 2. The ATPase activity of submitochondrial particles can be inhibited by incubation with the substrate, MgATP. This inhibition is not due to the accumulation of the hydrolysis products, MgADP and Pi, but could involve the process of ATP hydrolysis. 3. The mechanism of MgATP-induced inhibition of ATPase activity is proposed to involve a conformational change in one of the intermediate enzyme species of the ATP-hydrolytic sequence. 4. MgATP inhibits the ATPase activity of control submitochondrial particles at a higher rate and to a greater extent than it does that of inhibitor-protein-depleted submitochondrial particles, suggesting that the conformational change involves the endogenous inhibitor protein.

Effects of triphenylsulphonium ions on mitochondria. Inhibition of adenosine triphosphatase activity.

Project description:Triphenylsulphonium ions inhibit mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and adenosine triphosphatase activity. The site of action is on the soluble F1 adenosine triphosphatase component. Triphenylsylphonium ions also inhibit electron transfer in the NAD-cytochrome b region of the respiratory chain. In both types of inhibition, triphenylsulphonium ions are effective at low concentrations, half-maximal inhibition being produced by a concentration of about 20-30 muM. These effects resemble the effects of alkylguanidines on mitochondria and are discussed in relation to the effects of alkylguanidines and other lipophilic cations such as ethidium and dibenzyldimethylammonium ions. A modification of the purification procedure for the soluble mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase [Beechey, Hubbard, Linnett, Mitchell & Munn (1975) Biochem. J. 148, 533-537] IS DESCRIBED, WHICH YIELDS A PREPARATION WITH A HIGHER SPECIFIC ACTIVITY AND SHOWING FEWER BANDS IN GEL ELECTROPHORESIS.

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.

Inhibition of the membrane-bound adenosine triphosphatase of Escherichia coli by dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide.

Project description:The inhibition of the membrane-bound adenosine triphosphatase of Escherichia coli by DCCD (dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide) is studied under conditions of varying KCl concentration. An increase in K+ concentration and in other cations causes an increase in the DCCD sensitivity of the enzyme, as well as significant changes in the kinetic parameters.

Calcium ion-dependent p-nitrophenyl phosphate phosphatase activity and calcium ion-dependent adenosine triphosphatase activity from human erythrocyte membranes.

Project description:In the presence of ATP and of Mg(2+), human erythrocyte membranes show a phosphatase activity towards p-nitrophenyl phosphate which is activated by low concentrations of Ca(2+). The effect of Ca(2+) is strongly enhanced if either K(+) or Na(+) is also present. Activation of the p-nitrophenyl phosphate phosphatase by Ca(2+) reaches a half-maximum at about 8mum-Ca(2+) and is apparent only when the ion has access to the inner surface of the cell membrane. Ca(2+)-dependent phosphatase activity can only be observed if ATP is at the inner surface of the cell membrane, and the presence of ATP seems to be absolutely necessary, since either its removal or its replacement by other nucleoside triphosphates abolishes the activating effect of Ca(2+). The properties of the (ATP+Ca(2+))-dependent phosphatase are very similar to those of the Ca(2+)-dependent ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase), also present in erythrocyte membranes, which probably is involved in Ca(2+) transport in erythrocytes. The similarities suggest that both activities may be properties of the same molecular system. This view is further supported by the fact that p-nitrophenyl phosphate inhibits to a similar extent Ca(2+)-dependent ATPase activity and ATP-dependent Ca(2+) extrusion from erythrocytes.

Characterization of calcium-ion-activated adenosine triphosphatase in the plasma membrane of rat mast cells.

Project description:The properties of a Ca2+ activated adenosine triphosphatase shown to be present in homogenates of purified rat peritoneal mast cells were investigated. The enzyme was activated by Ca2+, Mg2+, and to a lesser extent by Mn2+ and Co2+. Ca2+ alone was necessary for full activity and the further addition of Mg2+ did not have any effect. The chelating agents EGTA (ethanedioxybis(ethylamine)tetra-acetate) and EDTA completely inhibited the reaction. The pH optimum was 7.8. Reduced glutathione, cysteine, dithiothreitol, N-ethylmaleimide, urea, ADP, NaF, increasing ionic strength and Triton X-100 all inhibited the reaction. On subcellular fractionation of mast-cell homogenates by density-gradient centrifugation, the distribution of Ca2+ activated adenosine triphosphatase resembled that of 5'-nucleotidase, but differed from that of the other markers used, suggesting localization in the plasma membrane. Further experiments indicated that the enzyme is present on the external surface of the plasma membrane.

THE ADENOSINE-TRIPHOSPHATASE ACTIVITY OF ADRENAL CHROMAFFIN GRANULES.

Project description:1. The preparation of a fraction containing highly purified chromaffin granules from the bovine adrenal medulla is described. 2. The fraction contains an adenosine-triphosphatase activity that is stimulated by Mg(2+) and that cannot be explained by contamination with mitochondria or microsomes. 3. It is suggested that the adenosine-triphosphatase activity is related to the uptake of cate-cholamines by the chromaffin granules.

Activation of membrane-bound high-affinity calcium ion-sensitive adenosine triphosphatase of human erythrocytes by bivalent metal ions.

Project description:The Ca2+-sensitive ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) of human erythrocyte membranes is activated, not only by Ca2+ ions, but also by a series of other bivalent metal ions including Sr2+, Ba2+, Mn2+, Ni2+, Co2+, Cd2+, Cu2+, Zn2+ and Pb2+. The degree of activation is dependent on the radius of the ion rather than on its nature, in contrast with the dissociation constant of the enzyme--metal ion complex.
