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.

Project description:1. Microsomes prepared from guinea-pig and ox brain were incubated for periods of a few seconds with low concentrations of Mg-[(32)P]ATP, the reaction was stopped with trichloroacetic acid and determinations were made of the phosphate bound to the acid-washed, and in some cases solvent-extracted, residue. 2. At 20 mum-ATP, at 37 degrees and in the presence of Na(+) ions, 30-50 mumumoles of phosphate/mg. of microsomal protein were bound by the preparation within 1 sec. of starting the reaction; little further change in level occurred until hydrolysis of ATP exceeded 50%, when the bound phosphate began to decline fairly rapidly to the zero-time value. 3. At 20mum-ATP without Na(+) ions present or in the presence of K(+) ions, the level of bound phosphate increased gradually and did not decline as ATP hydrolysis approached completion. 4. Potassium ions either inhibited the formation of Na(+)-dependent bound phosphate or, when added during the course of the reaction, rapidly reduced its level. 5. At 200 mum-ATP the bound phosphate formed in the presence of Na(+) ions appeared to consist of a mixture of the unstable Na(+)-dependent type and the stable type requiring only Mg(2+) ions for its formation. 6. Non-radioactive ATP added during the course of the reaction at 20 mum-ATP with Na(+)ions present rapidly discharged virtually all the bound (32)P counts; at 200 mum-ATP only a proportion of the label was similarly discharged. The Na(+)-dependent bound phosphate is therefore turning over, in contrast with that formed in the absence of Na(+)ions, which proved more stable. 7. The Na(+)-dependent bound phosphate was not in the form of ATP; experiments with [(14)C]ATP instead of [(32)P]ATP showed a small and invariable binding of ATP by the preparation unaffected by Na(+) ions or time of incubation. 8. Under the usual conditions employed in this work ouabain stimulated formation of Na(+)-dependent bound phosphate when Na(+) ions were suboptimum and inhibited it when optimum Na(+) ions were present. 9. The Na(+)-dependent binding reaction under present conditions did not involve incorporation into phosphorylserine groups. 10. The relation of the findings to the (Na(+),K(+))-ATPase of the preparation, and to observations in brain slices appearing to implicate phosphorylserine groups in cation transport, is discussed.

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.

Project description:Delipidated dogfish rectal-gland Na++K+-ATPase (Na++K+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase), almost devoid of hydrolytic activity, is able to bind about 2nmol of ADP/mg of protein. The "affinity" of delipidated enzyme for ADP is not affected by K+ in concentrations that greatly decrease the "affinity" of native Na++K+-ATPase. The K+-sensitivity of the ADP binding is in part restored by relipidation with dioleoyl phosphatidylcholine.

Project description:1. Ox-brain microsomes were incubated with [gamma-(32)P]ATP under various conditions. After the reaction, which was stopped with trichloroacetic acid, a small amount of phosphate remained bound to the washed precipitate. 2. Properties of the bound phosphate were studied by treatment with buffers and solvents. 3. The Na(+)-dependent increment in bound phosphate, predominant at low ATP concentration and features of which suggest involvement in the concomitant adenosine-triphosphatase activity, was rapidly released in both circumstances. 4. In aqueous media the labile phosphate was released entirely as inorganic phosphate at faster rates with increasing alkalinity. 5. In acidified chloroform-alcohol mixtures the released phosphate appeared both as inorganic phosphate and different single (32)P-labelled organic phosphates, which were tentatively identified as the relevant mono-alkyl phosphates, presumably derived by acid-catalysed alcoholysis of a labelled microsomal component, or components. 6. The labile phosphate corresponded to the P exchangeable with non-radioactive ATP added during the enzyme reaction. 7. The possible molecular nature of the labile fraction of the bound phosphate is discussed.

Project description:1. The Na(+)-plus-K(+)-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase [(Na(+),K(+))-ATPase] of microsomal preparations from ox brain was inactivated or diminished in activity by exposure to 2-8m-urea. Similar concentrations of urea diminished the turbidity of the suspensions. 2. Low concentrations (about 2.5mm) of NaATP with the urea gave partial or complete protection of the ATPase, without altering the concomitant change in turbidity. Some protection of the (Na(+),K(+))-ATPase was afforded by tris ATP, but the greatest protection was found with NaATP and in its presence the change in (Na(+),K(+))-ATPase with 3m-urea included a phase in which activity was enhanced by 40%. 3. The protective effect was specific to NaATP: KATP, NaADP, NaAMP and sodium pyrophosphate were without protective effect and in some cases they augmented the action of urea. 4. The turbidity of cerebral microsomal suspensions was diminished also by ultrasonic irradiation; NaATP did not alter this change. After ultrasonic treatment up to 55% of the protein and of the ATPase activity were no longer deposited by centrifugal forces of 4.5x10(6)g-min. 5. Ultrasonic treatment and centrifugation could be carried out with little or no loss of ATPase and ammonium sulphate flocculation of the supernatant then afforded in the first material precipitated a three- to five-fold enrichment of (Na(+),K(+))-ATPase activity. 6. Sodium borohydride and dimethyl sulphoxide also diminished the turbidity of the microsomal fraction but enrichment of the ATPase was not effected by these reagents; ten other compounds were without action on the ATPase. 7. Acetyl phosphate was hydrolysed by the microsomal preparation and this activity was increased by added K(+). Acetyl-phosphatase activity persisted in the ultrasonically treated and ammonium sulphate-fractionated preparations, which were more exacting in their requirements for K(+). 8. The findings are discussed in relation to the mechanism of the (Na(+),K(+))-ATPase.

Project description:1. Adenosine triphosphatase activities of dispersions prepared from bovine cerebral cortex that had been frozen, were greater than those of dispersions prepared from fresh tissue. The subcellular distribution of components of the dispersion was not altered by freezing the tissue and a microsomal fraction enriched in Na(+)+K(+)-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase activity was prepared. 2. The bovine cerebral microsomes were further treated with a 2m-sodium iodide reagent to obtain a particulate preparation with minimal Na(+)+K(+)-independent adenosine triphosphatase activity. Na(+)+K(+)-stimulated activity was increased by the sodium iodide treatment and this preparation was shown to be enriched in lipid constituents. 3. Density-gradient centrifugation of the sodium iodide treated preparation gave three main subfractions each containing approximately equal amounts of phospholipid and protein. Further exposure of the sodium iodide-treated preparation to the 2m-sodium iodide reagent altered the distribution of protein and phospholipid among the fractions obtained by density-gradient centrifugation. Dissociation of phospholipids from protein in the sodium iodide-treated preparation was brought about also by high concentrations of arginine. Concentrated solutions of arginine and sodium thiocyanate brought about dissociation of phospholipids from protein of the microsomal preparation. 4. Many amino acids were found to inhibit Na(+)+K(+)-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase activity when present in high concentrations. The inhibition was complex but resulted, in part at least, from diminished affinity for ATP and Na(+) in the presence of the amino acids. 5. A non-ionic detergent, Lubrol W, solubilized up to 40% of the enzyme activity of the sodium iodide-treated preparation together with 30% of the protein and phospholipid in the preparation. Protein was released from the sodium iodide-treated preparation by pancreatic elastase but Na(+)+K(+)-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase activity of the residue was diminished. Ultrasonic treatment of the sodium iodide-treated preparation failed to release a significant proportion of Na(+)+K(+)-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase activity into a form not deposited by ultracentrifugation.

Project description:The phosphorylation and dephosphorylation steps of the (Na-++K-+)-dependent ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) (EC 3.6.1.3) reaction have been compared in 'normal', lipid-depleted and 'restored' membrane ATPase preparations. Partial lipid depletion was achieved by a single extraction with Lubrol W, and 'restoration' by adding pure phosphatidylserine. Gamma-32-P-labelled ATP was used for phosphorylation. The main findings were as follows. (1) Partial lipid depletion decreased but did not prevent Na-+-dependent phosphorylation, although it virtually abolished both Na-+-dependent and (Na-++K-+)-dependent ATPase activities. (2) 'Restoration' with phosphatidylserine produced an increment in phosphorylation that was the same in the presence and absence of added Na-+. (3) K-+ decreased the extent of Na-+-dependent phosphorylation of the depleted enzyme without producing a corresponding release of Pi. (4) K-+ rapidly decreased the extent of phosphorylation of the 'restored' enzyme to near-background value, with a concomitant release of Pi. (5) Na-+-dependent ATP hydrolysis was not restored. (6) The turnover of the 'restored' enzyme seemed to be higher than that of the 'normal' enzyme. The reaction sequence is discussed in relation to these results and the fact that the depleted enzyme retained about 50% of K-+-dependent phosphatase activity.

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.

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.
