There is evidence that phosphatidylcholine secretion in type II pneumocytes is stimulated by adenosine and adenine nucleotides and that the effect of adenosine is mediated by the A2 subtype of the P1 purinoceptor. To determine if the effect of ATP is also mediated by the same receptor following its catabolism to adenosine or by the P2 purinoceptor we compared the effects of adenosine and ATP. Adenosine and terbutaline stimulated phosphatidylcholine secretion approx. 2-fold, while ATP stimulated it by more than 3-fold, essentially to the same extent as the protein kinase C activator, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate. The stimulatory effect of adenosine but not of ATP was abolished by adenosine deaminase. The effect of ATP was markedly diminished by the P2 desensitizing agent alpha,beta-methylene ATP, but only slightly by the P1 antagonist 8-phenyltheophylline. Adenosine increased the cAMP content of type II cells while ATP had little effect. The effects of ATP and terbutaline were additive while those of adenosine and terbutaline were not. These data show that ATP and adenosine stimulate phosphatidylcholine secretion via different mechanisms. Therefore, the effect of ATP is not mediated via catabolism to adenosine. Metabolically resistant analogs of ATP also stimulated secretion in a concentration-dependent manner although none were as potent as ATP. The order of potency was ATP greater than beta,gamma-methylene ATP = 2-methylthio ATP = 2-deoxy ATP greater than or equal to 8-bromo ATP greater than alpha,beta-methylene ATP. The facts that ATP analogs also stimulate secretion and that the effect of ATP was antagonized by alpha,beta-methylene ATP suggest that the stimulatory effect of ATP is mediated by the P2 purinoceptor. 相似文献

The interaction of phosphorothioate analogues of ATP with phosphomevalonate kinase. Kinetic and 31P NMR studies 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The diastereomers of adenosine 5'-O-(1-thiotriphosphate) (ATP alpha S), adenosine 5'-O-(2-thiotriphosphate) (ATP beta S), and adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (ATP gamma S) could act as substrates for phosphomevalonate kinase in the presence of Mg2+ and Cd2+ as activating divalent metal cations. The Sp diastereomer of ATP alpha S was the preferred substrate regardless of the metal ion used, consistent with the metal ion not binding to the alpha-phosphate. With ATP beta S, the Sp diastereomer was the preferred substrate with Mg2+, and the Rp diastereomer was the preferred substrate with Cd2+. The reversal of specificity establishes that the metal is chelated through the beta-phosphate in the active site of the phosphomevalonate kinase reaction. A comparison of the Vmax values as a function of substitution of oxygen by sulfur showed the order for Mg2+ to be: ATP greater than ATP alpha S(Sp) greater than ATP alpha S(Rp) greater than ATP beta S(Sp) greater than ATP gamma S greater than ATP beta S(Rp). With Cd2+ as the activating metal ion, the order was: ATP greater than ATP alpha S(Sp) greater than ATP alpha S(Rp) greater than ATP beta S(Rp) greater than ATP gamma S greater than ATP beta S(Sp). It is concluded that the chelate structure of metal ATP substrate in the phosphomevalonate kinase reaction is the delta, beta, gamma-bidentate complex. 31P NMR measurements and radioassay with [2-14C] phosphomevalonate were used to measure the equilibrium of the reaction catalyzed by phosphomevalonate kinase with ATP and phosphorothioate analogues of ATP as the phosphoryl group donor. The order as a phosphate donor as determined by both methods in the phosphomevalonate kinase reaction is ATP beta S greater than ATP alpha S greater than ATP greater than ATP gamma S. Except for ATP gamma S, the equilibrium is shifted in the direction of formation of ADP alpha S and ADP beta S relative to ADP formation. Thus, ATP beta S rather than ATP would be effective for the synthesis of diphosphomevalonate. The phosphomevalonate kinase reaction could also be used to synthesize mevalonate 5-(2-thiodiphosphate) using ATP gamma S as the phosphoryl group donor. 相似文献

The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a chloride channel that is regulated by phosphorylation of the R domain and ATP hydrolysis at two nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs). It is controversial whether CFTR conducts ATP or whether CFTR might be closely associated with a separate ATP conductance. To characterize ATP channels associated with CFTR, we analyzed Cl- and ATP single channel-currents in excised inside-out membrane patches from MDCK epithelial cells transiently expressing CFTR. With 100 mM ATP in the pipette and 140 mM Cl- in the bath, ATP channels were associated with CFTR Cl- channels in two-thirds of patches that included CFTR. CFTR Cl- channels and CFTR-associated ATP channels had slope conductances of 7.4 pS and 5.2 pS, respectively, and had distinct reversal potentials and sensitivities to channel blockers. CFTR-associated ATP channels exhibited slow gating kinetics that depended on the presence of protein kinase A and cytoplasmic ATP, similar to CFTR Cl- channels. Gating kinetics of the ATP channels as well as the CFTR Cl- channels were similarly affected by non-hydrolyzable ATP analogues and mutations in the CFTR R domain and NBDs. Our results indicate that phosphorylation- and nucleotide-hydrolysis-dependent gating of CFTR is directly involved in gating of an associated ATP channel. However, the permeation pathways for Cl- and ATP are distinct and the ATP conduction pathway is not obligatorily associated with the expression of CFTR. 相似文献

The copper-transporting ATPases, menkes and wilson disease proteins, have distinct roles in adult and developing cerebellum 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Copper is essential for brain metabolism, serving as a cofactor to superoxide dismutase, dopamine-beta-hydroxylase, amyloid precursor protein, ceruloplasmin, and other proteins required for normal brain function. The copper-transporting ATPases ATP7A and ATP7B play a central role in distribution of copper in the central nervous system; genetic mutations in ATP7A and ATP7B lead to severe neurodegenerative disorders, Menkes disease and Wilson disease, respectively. Although both ATP7A and ATP7B are required, their specific roles and regulation in the brain remain poorly understood. Using high-resolution imaging and functional assays, we demonstrate that ATP7A and ATP7B show cell-specific distribution in adult cerebellum, have distinct enzymatic characteristics, and are regulated differently during development. ATP7B is continuously expressed in Purkinje neurons (PN) where it delivers copper to the ferroxidase ceruloplasmin. ATP7A is a faster copper transporter than Wilson disease protein as evidenced by faster rates of catalytic reactions. The expression of ATP7A switches during development from PN to Bergmann glia, the cells supporting PN function in adult brain. Inactivation of ATP7B (Wilson disease protein) by gene knock-out induces a striking shift in the expression of the ATP7B target protein, ceruloplasmin, from PN to Bergmann glia, where ATP7A (Menkes disease protein) is present. The induced cell-specific change in expression restores copper delivery to ceruloplasmin via ATP7A. Overall, the results provide evidence for distinct functions of ATP7A and ATP7B in the cerebellum and illustrate a tight link between copper homeostasis in PN and Bergmann glia. 相似文献

Human Cu-ATPases ATP7A and ATP7B maintain copper homeostasis through regulated trafficking between intracellular compartments. Inactivation of these transporters causes Menkes disease and Wilson disease, respectively. In Menkes disease, copper accumulates in kidneys and causes tubular damage, indicating that the renal ATP7B does not compensate for the loss of ATP7A function. We show that this is likely due to a kidney-specific regulation of ATP7B. Unlike ATP7A (or hepatic ATP7B) which traffics from the TGN to export copper, renal ATP7B does not traffic and therefore is unlikely to mediate copper export. The lack of ATP7B trafficking is not on account of the loss of a kinase-mediated phosphorylation or simultaneous presence of ATP7A in renal cells. Rather, the renal ATP7B appears 2–3 kDa smaller than hepatic ATP7B. Recombinant ATP7B expressed in renal cells is similar to hepatic protein in size and trafficking. The analysis of ATP7B mRNA revealed a complex behavior of exon 1 upon amplification, suggesting that it could be inefficiently translated. Recombinant ATP7B lacking exon 1 traffics differently in renal and hepatic cells, but does not fully recapitulate the endogenous phenotype. We discuss factors that may contribute to cell-specific behavior of ATP7B and propose a role for renal ATP7B in intracellular copper storage. 相似文献

The dependence on intracellular ATP concentration of ATP-sensitive K-channels and of Na,K-ATPase in intact HIT-T15 beta-cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
We have studied the effects of changes of intracellular ATP concentration ([ATP]i) on the activity of ATP-sensitive K-channels (IK(ATP] and of Na,K-ATPase in intact cells of the insulin-secreting cell-line HIT-T15. Pre-exposure of HIT beta-cells to oligomycin caused a dose-dependent reduction in [ATP]i. Marked activation of IK(ATP) activity was found when ATP was lowered below 3 mM. Na,K-ATPase was progressively inhibited as ATP was lowered to 1.5 mM. These data demonstrate that changes in intracellular ATP in the millimolar range markedly influence the activity of two beta-cell membrane proteins having affinities for ATP in the micromolar range. This suggests that submembrane [ATP] may be considerably below the measured bulk cytosolic concentration. The findings also support the proposed role of intracellular ATP in mediating effects of changes in glucose concentration on the activity of beta-cell IK(ATP) and insulin secretion. 相似文献

ATP is required for the binding of precursor proteins to chloroplasts 总被引:30,自引:0,他引:30

One of the first steps in the transport of nuclear-encoded, cytoplasmically synthesized precursor proteins into chloroplasts is a specific binding interaction between precursor proteins and the surface of the organelle. Although protein translocation into chloroplasts requires ATP hydrolysis, binding is generally thought to be energy independent. A more detailed investigation of precursor binding to the surface of chloroplasts showed that ATP was required for efficient binding. Protein translocation is known to require relatively high levels (1 mM or more) of ATP. As little as 50-100 microM ATP caused significant stimulation of precursor binding over controls with no ATP. Several different precursors were tested and all showed increased binding upon addition of low levels of ATP. Nonhydrolyzable analogs of ATP did not substitute for ATP, indicating that ATP hydrolysis was required for binding. A protonmotive force was not involved in the energy requirement for binding. Other (hydrolyzable) nucleotides could substitute for ATP but were less effective at stimulating binding. Binding was stimulated by ATP generated inside chloroplasts even when an ATP trap was present to destroy external ATP. We conclude that internal ATP is required for stimulation of precursor binding to chloroplasts. 相似文献

ADP and adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (ATP gamma S) inhibit recA protein promoted ATP hydrolysis by fundamentally different mechanisms. In both cases, at least two modes of inhibition are observed. For ADP, the first mode is competitive inhibition. The second mode is manifested by dissociation of recA protein from DNA. These are readily distinguished in a comparison of ATP hydrolyses that are activated by (a) DNA and (b) high (approximately 2 M) salt concentrations. Competitive inhibition with a significant degree of cooperativity is observed under both sets of conditions, although the DNA-dependent activity is more sensitive to ADP than the high-salt reaction. The reaction in the presence of poly(deoxythymidylic acid) or duplex DNA ceases when about 60% of the available ATP is hydrolyzed, reflecting an ADP-mediated dissociation of recA protein from the DNA that is governed by the ADP/ATP ratio. In contrast, ATP hydrolysis proceeds nearly to completion at high salt concentrations. At high concentrations of ATP and ATP gamma S, ATP gamma S also acts as a competitive inhibitor. At low concentrations of ATP gamma S and ATP, however, ATP gamma S activates ATP hydrolysis. These patterns are observed for recA-mediated ATP hydrolysis with either high salt concentrations or a poly(deoxythymidylic acid) [poly(dT)] cofactor, although the activation is observed at much lower ATP and ATP gamma S concentrations when poly(dT) is used. ATP gamma S can also relieve the inhibitory effect of ADP under some conditions. ATP gamma S and ADP are antagonistic inhibitors, reinforcing the idea that they stabilize different conformations of the protein and suggesting that these conformations are mutually exclusive. The ATP gamma S (ATP) conformation is active in ATP hydrolysis. The ADP conformation is inactive. 相似文献

ATP7A and ATP7B are P-type ATPases required for copper homeostasis and involved in the etiology of Menkes and Wilson diseases. We used heterologous expression of ATP7A or ATP7B in COS-1 cells infected with adenovirus vectors to characterize differential features pertinent to each protein expressed in the same mammalian cell type, rather than to extrinsic factors related to different cells sustaining expression. Electrophoretic analysis of the expressed protein, before and after purification, prior or subsequent to treatment with endoglycosidase, and evidenced by protein or glycoprotein staining as well as Western blotting, indicates that the ATP7A protein is glycosylated while ATP7B is not. This is consistent with the prevalence of glycosylation motifs in the ATP7A sequence, and not in ATP7B. ATP7A and ATP7B undergo copper-dependent phosphorylation by utilization of ATP, forming equal levels of an "alkali labile" phosphoenzyme intermediate that undergoes similar catalytic (P-type ATPase) turnover in both enzymes. In addition, incubation with ATP yields an "alkali stable" phosphoprotein fraction, attributed to phosphorylation of serines. Alkali stable phosphorylation occurs at lower levels in ATP7A, consistent with a different distribution of serines in the amino acid sequence. Immunostaining of COS-1 cells sustaining heterologous expression shows initial association of both ATP7A and ATP7B with Golgi and the trans-Golgi network. However, in the presence of added copper, ATP7A undergoes prevalent association with the plasma membrane while ATP7B exhibits intense trafficking with cytosolic vesicles. Glycosylation of ATP7A and phosphorylation of ATP7B apparently contribute to their different trafficking and membrane association when expressed in the same cell type. 相似文献

Glucose generates sub-plasma membrane ATP microdomains in single islet beta-cells. Potential role for strategically located mitochondria 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Increases in the concentration of free ATP within the islet beta-cell may couple elevations in blood glucose to insulin release by closing ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels and activating Ca2+ influx. Here, we use recombinant targeted luciferases and photon counting imaging to monitor changes in free [ATP] in subdomains of single living MIN6 and primary beta-cells. Resting [ATP] in the cytosol ([ATP]c), in the mitochondrial matrix ([ATP]m), and beneath the plasma membrane ([ATP]pm) were similar ( approximately 1 mM). Elevations in extracellular glucose concentration (3-30 mM) increased free [ATP] in each domain with distinct kinetics. Thus, sustained increases in [ATP]m and [ATP]pm were observed, but only a transient increase in [ATP]c. However, detectable increases in [ATP]c and [ATP]pm, but not [ATP]m, required extracellular Ca2+. Enhancement of glucose-induced Ca2+ influx with high [K+] had little effect on the apparent [ATP]c and [ATP]m increases but augmented the [ATP]pm increase. Underlying these changes, glucose increased the mitochondrial proton motive force, an effect mimicked by high [K+]. These data support a model in which glucose increases [ATP]m both through enhanced substrate supply and by progressive Ca2+-dependent activation of mitochondrial enzymes. This may then lead to a privileged elevation of [ATP]pm, which may be essential for the sustained closure of KATP channels. Luciferase imaging would appear to be a useful new tool for dynamic in vivo imaging of free ATP concentration. 相似文献

Adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) hydrolysis by dynein 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The interaction of dynein with ATP gamma S, a phosphorothioate analogue of ATP, has been investigated in depth. The hydrolyses of ATP gamma S and of ATP were shown to be mutually competitive. ATP gamma S induced complete dissociation of the microtubule-dynein complex such that the time course of dissociation monitored by stopped-flow light-scattering methods followed a single exponential. The ATP gamma S concentration dependence of the rate of dissociation was hyperbolic, indicating that the dissociation is at least a two-step process: M.D + ATP gamma S in equilibrium M.D.ATP gamma S----M + D.ATP gamma S. The fit to the hyperbola gives an apparent Kd = 0.5 mM for the binding of ATP gamma S to the microtubule-dynein complex, and the maximal rate of 45 s-1 defines the rate of dissociation of the ternary M.D.ATP gamma S complex. Rapid quench-flow experiments demonstrated that the hydrolysis of ATP gamma S by dynein exhibited an initial burst of product formation. The size of the burst was 1.2 mol/10(6) g of dynein, comparable to that in the case of ATP hydrolysis. The steady-state rate of ATP gamma S turnover by dynein was activated by MAP-free microtubules. Because the rate of ATP gamma S turnover is severalfold (4-8) slower than ATP turnover, the rate-limiting step must be release of thiophosphate, not ADP. Thus, microtubules can activate the rate of thiophosphate release. The stereochemical course of phosphoric residue transfer was determined by using ATP gamma S stereospecifically labeled in the gamma position with 18O.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Adenosine-5’-triphosphate (ATP) is generally regarded as a substrate for energy currency and protein modification. Recent findings uncovered the allosteric function of ATP in cellular signal transduction but little is understood about this critical behavior of ATP. Through extensive analysis of ATP in solution and proteins, we found that the free ATP can exist in the compact and extended conformations in solution, and the two different conformational characteristics may be responsible for ATP to exert distinct biological functions: ATP molecules adopt both compact and extended conformations in the allosteric binding sites but conserve extended conformations in the substrate binding sites. Nudged elastic band simulations unveiled the distinct dynamic processes of ATP binding to the corresponding allosteric and substrate binding sites of uridine monophosphate kinase, and suggested that in solution ATP preferentially binds to the substrate binding sites of proteins. When the ATP molecules occupy the allosteric binding sites, the allosteric trigger from ATP to fuel allosteric communication between allosteric and functional sites is stemmed mainly from the triphosphate part of ATP, with a small number from the adenine part of ATP. Taken together, our results provide overall understanding of ATP allosteric functions responsible for regulation in biological systems. 相似文献

ATP hydrolysis by ischemic mitochondria 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Cellular ATP levels are determined by the rates of ATP production and ATP hydrolysis. Both phenomena are affected by ischemia. Mitochondrial enzymes are damaged, inhibiting this organelle's ability to make ATP. Mitochondria are also uncoupled by ischemia and have the ability to hydrolyze ATP. We designed a series of experiments to determine whether decreased production or increased hydrolysis of ATP was the primary effect of mitochondrial damage. Rat hearts were subjected to 45 min of warm ischemia in order to induce irreversible cell damage. ATP or ADP was injected into cuvettes containing mitochondria isolated from normal myocardium or myocardium damaged by ischemia. Luciferin-luciferase, which fluoresces in the presence of ATP, was also added to the tubes as an indicator of ATP levels. Mixtures of uncoupled and coupled mitochondria were made and compared with the mitochondria damaged by ischemia. The results showed that mitochondria damaged by prolonged ischemia hydrolyze ATP more rapidly than normal mitochondria; however, normal mitochondria can easily compensate for increased ATP hydrolysis when in mixture with equal amounts of uncoupled mitochondria. These data suggests that the low cellular levels of ATP following irreversible ischemia are primarily due to decreased ATP synthesis and not to increased hydrolysis. 相似文献

The mechanism of ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channel closure by ATP is unclear, and various kinetic models in which ATP binds to open or to closed states have previously been presented. Effects of phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate (PIP2) and multiple Kir6.2 mutations on ATP inhibition and open probability in the absence of ATP are explainable in kinetic models where ATP stabilizes a closed state and interaction with an open state is not required. Evidence that ATP can in fact interact with the open state of the channel is presented here. The mutant Kir6.2[L164C] is very sensitive to Cd2+ block, but very insensitive to ATP, with no significant inhibition in 1 mM ATP. However, 1 mM ATP fully protects the channel from Cd2+ block. Allosteric kinetic models in which the channel can be in either open or closed states with or without ATP bound are considered. Such models predict a pedestal in the ATP inhibition, i.e., a maximal amount of inhibition at saturating ATP concentrations. This pedestal is predicted to occur at >50 mM ATP in the L164C mutant, but at >1 mM in the double mutant L164C/R176A. As predicted, ATP inhibits Kir6.2[L164C/R176A] to a maximum of approximately 40%, with a clear plateau beyond 2 mM. These results indicate that ATP acts as an allosteric ligand, interacting with both open and closed states of the channel. 相似文献

Measurement of extracellular ATP in biological solutions is complicated by protein-binding and rapid enzymatic degradation. We hypothesized that the concentration of extracellular ATP could be determined luminometrically by limiting degradation and measuring the free and protein-bound fractions. ATP was added (a) at constant concentration to solutions containing varying albumin concentrations; (b) at varying concentrations to a physiological albumin solution (4 gm/dL); (c) at varying concentrations to plasma. After centrifugation, a fraction of each supernatant was heated. ATP in heated and unheated samples was measured luminometrically. Blood was drawn into saline or an ATP-stabilizing solution and endogenous plasma ATP measured. ATP-albumin binding was a linear function of albumin concentration (3.5% ATP bound at 100 micromol/L to 33.2% ATP bound at 1000 micromol/L) but independent of ATP concentration (29.3%, 10-1000 nmol/L ATP in 602 micromol/L albumin). Heating released the majority of bound ATP from albumin-containing solutions (94.8 +/- 1.7%) and plasma (97.6 +/- 5.1%). Total endogenous plasma ATP comprised 93 +/- 27 nmol/L (free) and 150 +/- 40 nmol/L (total fraction). Without stabilizing solution, degradation of free endogenous plasma ATP occurred. Within a physiological range (10-1000 nmol/L), ATP binds albumin independently of ATP concentration. Heating releases bound ATP, enabling accurate luminometric measurement of total extracellular ATP (free and bound) in biological samples. 相似文献

Mitochondrial dysfunction is common in cancer and the mitochondrial electron transport chain is often affected in carcinogenesis. To date, little is known about the expression of the ATP synthase subunits in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The NextBio database was used to determine an expression profile of the ATP synthase subunits based on published microarray studies. We observed down-regulation of 23 out of 29 subunits of the ATP synthase. Differential expression was validated exemplarily for 12 genes (ATP5A1, ATP5B, ATPAF1, ATP5C1, ATP5D, ATP5O, ATP5F1, ATP5G1, ATP5G2, ATP5G3, ATP5I, ATP5S; screening cohort ccRCC n = 18 and normal renal tissue n = 10) using real-time PCR. Additional eight genes (ATP5A1, ATP5B, ATPAF1, ATP5F1, ATP5G1, ATP5G2, ATP5G3, ATP5S) were internally validated within an enlarged cohort (ccRCC n = 74; normal renal tissue n = 36). Furthermore, down-regulation of ATP5A1, ATPAF1, ATP5G1/G2/G3 was confirmed on the protein level using Western Blot and immunohistochemistry. We observed that altered expression of ATPAF1 and ATP5G1/G2/G3 was correlated with overall survival in patients with ccRCC. In conclusion, down-regulation of many ATP Synthase subunits occurs in ccRCC and is the basis for the reduced activity of the mitochondrial electron chain. Alteration of the expression of ATP5A1, ATPAF1, and ATP5G1/G2/G3 is characteristic for ccRCC and may be prognostic for ccRCC patients' outcome. 相似文献

The 2-substituted ATP analog 2-Chloro ATP was tested for its capacity to support axonemal movement. The movement of sea urchin axonemes reactivated with 2-Cl ATP appeared very similar to that with ATP. Detailed waveform analysis indicated that bend angle and shear amplitude were not significantly different for ATP and 2-Cl ATP. Although wavelength differs at particular nucleotide concentrations, if normalized to the beat frequency, it is similar for ATP and 2-Cl ATP. The main difference in the movement with the two analogs was seen in beat frequency and sliding velocity. The Vmax for beat frequency and mean sliding velocity was lower for 2-Cl ATP. The apparent Km for beat frequency and sliding velocity was much lower for 2-Cl ATP. The ratio of these two effects, that is, (Vmax/Km) is higher for 2-Cl ATP. Thus 2-Cl ATP is a good substrate for axonemal movement. The significantly lower Km of 2-Cl ATP was also demonstrated by its ability to support oscillatory motion at concentrations below that for ATP. The observations identify the structures and conformation of substrate necessary to support axonemal movement. 相似文献

Endothelial cells (ECs) release ATP in response to shear stress, a mechanical force generated by blood flow, and the ATP released modulates EC functions through activation of purinoceptors. The molecular mechanism of the shear stress-induced ATP release, however, has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we have demonstrated that cell surface ATP synthase is involved in shear stress-induced ATP release. Immunofluorescence staining of human pulmonary arterial ECs (HPAECs) showed that cell surface ATP synthase is distributed in lipid rafts and co-localized with caveolin-1, a marker protein of caveolae. Immunoprecipitation indicated that cell surface ATP synthase and caveolin-1 are physically associated. Measurement of the extracellular metabolism of [(3)H]ADP confirmed that cell surface ATP synthase is active in ATP generation. When exposed to shear stress, HPAECs released ATP in a dose-dependent manner, and the ATP release was markedly suppressed by the membrane-impermeable ATP synthase inhibitors angiostatin and piceatannol and by an anti-ATP synthase antibody. Depletion of plasma membrane cholesterol with methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MbetaCD) disrupted lipid rafts and abolished co-localization of ATP synthase with caveolin-1, which resulted in a marked reduction in shear stress-induced ATP release. Pretreatment of the cells with cholesterol prevented these effects of MbetaCD. Downregulation of caveolin-1 expression by transfection of caveolin-1 siRNA also markedly suppressed ATP-releasing responses to shear stress. Neither MbetaCD, MbetaCD plus cholesterol, nor caveolin-1 siRNA had any effect on the amount of cell surface ATP synthase. These results suggest that the localization and targeting of ATP synthase to caveolae/lipid rafts is critical for shear stress-induced ATP release by HPAECs. 相似文献

The effect of small changes in intracellular ATP on autophagic flux was studied in isolated rat hepatocytes by using inhibitors of ATP production or by varying the metabolic conditions. The following observations were made. There was a linear relationship between endogenous protein degradation and intracellular ATP, the rate of proteolysis declining with decreasing ATP concentrations. 15% of the maximal proteolysis is either independent of ATP or has a very high affinity for this metabolite. There was a linear relationship between the autophagic sequestration of cytosolic [14C]sucrose and intracellular ATP, the sequestration rate decreasing with decreasing ATP concentrations. ATP depletion did not cause release of [14C]sucrose previously sequestered in autophagosomes and lysosomes at high ATP levels. Intracellular accumulation of chloroquine, used as an indicator of the pH inside lysosomes and other acidic cell compartments, diminished with decreasing cellular ATP content. Amino acids inhibited proteolysis without affecting ATP levels or chloroquine accumulation. We conclude from the high sensitivity of autophagy towards relatively small changes in the concentration of intracellular ATP that, besides amino acids, ATP is a very important factor in controlling the rate of autophagy in rat hepatocytes. 相似文献

The ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channel is named after its characteristic inhibition by intracellular ATP. The inhibition is a centerpiece of how the K(ATP) channel sets electrical signaling to the energy state of the cell. In the beta cell of the endocrine pancreas, for example, ATP inhibition results from high blood glucose levels and turns on electrical activity leading to insulin release. The underlying gating mechanism (ATP inhibition gating) includes ATP stabilization of closed states, but the action of ATP on the open state of the channel is disputed. The original models of ATP inhibition gating proposed that ATP directly binds the open state, whereas recent models indicate a prerequisite transition from the open to a closed state before ATP binds and inhibits activity. We tested these two classes of models by using kinetic analysis of single-channel currents from the cloned mouse pancreatic K(ATP) channel expressed in Xenopus oocytes. In particular, we combined gating models based on fundamental rate law and burst gating kinetic considerations. The results demonstrate open-state ATP dependence as the major mechanism by which ATP speeds exit from the active burst state underlying inhibition of the K(ATP) channel by ATP. 相似文献
