1. 1. (Mg2+ + Ca2+) ATPases of microsomal and synaptic membrane preparations from immature and adult rat brain were activated by calcium (0.1–10 μM), maximal activation was found at 3 μM. The increase in (Mg2+ + Ca2+) ATPase seen during development was greatest in the synaptic membrane preparations.
2. 2. At 37°C both Na+ or K+ at concentrations higher than 30 mM inhibited the microsomal Mg2+ ATPase, but the (Mg2+ + Ca2+) ATPase was stimulated by both Na+ and K+. Synaptic membrane Mg2+ ATPase was inhibited by concentrations higher than 100 mM K+; Na+ however stimulated this enzyme at all concentrations. Much of this Na+ stimulated activity was ouabain sensitive. Synaptic membrane (Mg2+ + Ca2+) ATPase was stimulated by Na+ or K+, this stimulation follows approximate saturation kinetics with an apparent Km of 18.8 mM Na+ or K+.
3. 3. Arrhenius plots of microsomal (Mg2+ + Ca2+) ATPase were curvilinear, but two intersecting lines with a break at 20°C could be fitted. The calculated energies of activation from these lines were very similar in immature and adult preparations. The synaptic membrane preparation (adult) also gave a curvilinear plot; but two intersecting lines with a break at 25°C could be fitted to the data. These lines had slopes of 21 and 28 Kcal mole−1 above and below the break, respectively. The immature preparation when made using EDTA gave a Arrhenius plot of very similar form to the adult preparation. Without EDTA however the Arrhenius plot was complex with a plateau at 25–32°C. Pretreatment with EDTA activated the synaptic membrane (Mg2+ + Ca2+) ATPase from both immature and adult brain.
The clostridial solubilized and membrane-bound ATPase showed different properties similar to the “allotopic” properties of mitochondrial and other bacterial ATPases. The membrane-bound ATPase in contrast to the soluble ATPase was sensitive to the ATPase inhibitor dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD). DCCD, at 10-4 M, led to 80% inhibition of the membrane-bound enzyme; oligomycin, ouabain, or NaN3 had no effect. The membrane-bound ATPase could not be stimulated by trypsin pretreatment.
Since none of the mono- or divalent cations had any truly stimulatory effect, and since a pH gradient (interior alkaline), which was sensitive to the ATPase inhibitor DCCD, was maintained during growth of C. pasteurianum, it was concluded that the function of the clostridial ATPase was the same as that of the rather similar mitochondrial enzyme, namely H+ translocation. A H+-translocating, ATP-consuming ATPase appears to be intrinsic equipment of all prokaryotic cells and as such to be phylogenetically very old; in the course of evolution the enzyme might have been developed to a H+-(re)translocating, ATP-forming ATPase as probably realized in aerobic bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts. 相似文献
2. The enzymic properties of myosin trinitrophenylated in the absence of ATP are different from those of myosin treated in the presence of ATP even on trinitrophenylating an equal number of lysyl residues. On trinitrophenylation in the absence of ATP the EDTA-(K+-)activated ATPase and Ca2+-activated ATPase decrease while the Mg2+-activated ATPase considerably increases. In the presence of ATP the enzymic properties of myosin are much less affected by trinitrophenylation.
3. The actin binding capacity of trinitrophenylated myosin does not change, although its enzymic properties may be greatly altered, and even if its property to be activated by actin is completely lost. 相似文献
2. Contraction and relaxation of the fibrils was induced by changing the concentration of Ca2+ from about 5×10−5 to below 1×10−8 M.
3. In all conditions studied, the ATPase activity of relaxed fibrils was about 6–8 times less than that of the contracted fibrils, but it remained a typical actomyosin ATPase.
4. Quantitatively and qualitatively, this ATPase differs from the ATPase of myosin. For instance, its dependence on pH is the reverse of that of the myosin ATPase.
5. Calculation showed that the fibrils are dissociated by 90% in conditions of relaxation. Since the ATPase activity of myosin was merely some 2% of the actomyosin activity, the major part of the ATPase of fibrils, even at a dissociation of 90%, is bound to show the properties of the ATPase of actomyosin.
6. However, a dissociation of 90% cannot be distinguished from a dissociation of 100% by means of physical methods (viscosity, superprecipitation, resistance to stretch, etc.). This explains why physical methods indicate a “full” dissociation of actomyosin although, enzymatically, the ATPase is still of the actomyosin type.
7. The possible reasons are discussed for the discrepancy between the 100-fold increase in the ATP turnover and the 1000-fold increase in energy turnover of the living muscle during the transition from relaxed to active state. The most probable explanation seems to be an ATPase activity of myosin which is too high by a factor of ten as compared to the energy turnover of living muscle at the resting state. This high activity cannot be caused by a contamination of the myosin by Ca2+-insensitive actomyosin. 相似文献
2. The amount of G-actin-bound calcium, as well as the sum of bivalent cation after replacement, not removable by short-time Dowex-50 treatment, accounts to about 1 mole per 50000 g of G-actin.
3. The rate of exchange is of the same order for bivalent cations studied, including calcium.
4. G-actin-bound Ca2+ is fully replaced, besides free Ca2+, by free Mn2+ and Cd2+. The replacement with Mg2+, Co2+, Ni2+ and Zn2+ is not complete, and there is practically no reaction with Ba2+ and Sr2+.
5. Assuming the affinity constant of Ca2+ as 1, the following affinity constants for other bivalent cations were obtained: Mn2+, 0.90; Cd2+, 1.07; Mg2+, 0.27; Zn2+, 0.22; Co2+, 0.18; Ni2+, 0.08.
6. The results obtained show that there exists a close correlation between the ionic radius of a particular bivalent cation, and its ability to replace bound Ca2+. 相似文献
(2) The protein inhibits both the soluble ATPase and the particle-bound ATPase from rat liver mitochondria. It also inhibits ATPase activities of soluble F1, and inhibitor-depleted submitochondrial particles derived from bovine heart mitochondria.
(3) On particle-bound ATPase the inhibitor has its maximal effect if incubated in the presence of Mg2+. ATP at slightly acidic pH.
(4) The inhibitor has a minimal effect on Pi-ATP exchange activity in sonicated submitochondrial particles. However, unexpectedly the inhibitor greatly stimulates Pi-ATP exchange activity in whole mitochondria while the low ATPase activity of the mitochondria is not affected. The possible mechanism of action of the inhibitor on intact mitochondria is offered. 相似文献
2. In the presence of Mg2+ the nitreno-ATP is bound to both the and β subunits, mainly (63%) to the subunits.
3. After successive photolabelling of F1 with 8-azido-ATP (no Mg2+) and 8-azido-ADP (with Mg2+) 4 mol label is bound to F1, 2 mol to the and 2 mol to the β subunits.
4. When the order of photolabelling is reversed, much less 8-nitreno-ATP is bound to F1 previously labelled with 8-nitreno-ADP. It is concluded that binding to the -subunits hinders binding to the β subunits.
5. F1 that has been photolabelled with up to 4 mol label still contains 2 mol firmly bound adenine nucleotides per mol F1.
6. It is concluded that at least 6 sites for adenine nucleotides are present in isolated F1. 相似文献
2. ATPase activity of mitochondria isolated from nuclear gene mutants deficient in a single cytochrome, a, b, or c, respectively, was strongly inhibited by oligomycin. The mitochondria from these mutants, like those from the wild-type strain, were able to incorporate amino acids into protein.
3. Mitochondrial ATPase activity of single nuclear gene mutants deficient in both cytochromes a and b was only slightly inhibited by oligomycin. These mitochondria were incapable of incorporating amino acids into protein. The mitochondria from these nuclear mutants thus resembled mitochondria of cytoplasmic respiration-deficient mutants.
4. The results suggest that mitochondrial cytochromes may be coded by nuclear genes and that product(s) of mitochondrial protein synthesis may be required for integrating the cytochromes a and b and the components of the oligomycin-sensitive ATPase complex into the mitochondrial membranes. 相似文献
2. The ATPase activity of Azotobacter particles and of the soluble factor involved in oxidative phosphorylation is stimulated 10–20-fold by incubation with trypsin. The trypsin-induced ATPase is Mg2+ or Ca2+ dependent, Mg2+ being the more effective cation. The ATPase is stimulated somewhat by 4,5,6,7-tetrachloro-2-trifluoromethylbenzimidazole, desaspidin and carbonyl cyandie m-chlorophenylhydrazone, and inhibited by atebrin and Dio-9.
3. In previous work ADP was shown to stimulate the oxidation of NADH but not of the Site-II substrates malate, lactate or succinate. Stimulation by ADP of oxidation of malate has now been observed by inhibiting electron transport by 2-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide or by increasing the electron flow by adding lactate. The stimulation is, therefore, not confined to phosphorylation Site I. 相似文献
2. Under physiological conditions, it was found that the ATPase activity of rabbit and crab fibrils after an initial increase decreased steeply when the Ca2+ concentration is raised above 1×10−4 M. This is a primary effect of the over-optimal Ca2+ concentration and not a secondary one caused by the influence of accompanying ions.
3. The Ca2+ requirements for ATP splitting by rabbit fibrils remain constant at an ionic strength from 0.1 to 0.2 and for a MgATP concentration in the range from 0.5 to 10 mM. At I = 0.05 it is about 5 times smaller than at 0.1. When the pH is decreased from 8 to 7, the Ca2+ requirements are increased some 10 times but only 3 times when the pH is varied between 7 and 6.
4. In crab fibrils, there is no alteration of the Ca2+ requirements when the ionic strength is varied between 0.05 and 0.2, but a reduction of the pH from 8.0 to 6.0 raises the Ca2+ requirements for half activation and for threshold by a factor of 10. Changing the MgATP concentration increases the Ca2+ requirements only in the range from 1 to 5 mM, while the concentration required in 0.5 mM is identical with that at 1 mM, and 10 mM corresponds to 5 mM.
5. It can be deduced from the experimental results that at a pH above 6.0 maximal activation is always obtained if the Ca2+ concentration is 5×10−5 M. By contrast, relaxation is only achieved when the Ca2+ concentration is below 1×10−7 M for pH 7.0 and I > 0.1 or below 1×10−8 for pH > 7.0 or I < 0.1.
6. To achieve complete relaxation, an ethyleneglycoldiaminotetraacetate (EGTA) concentration of 1 mM is sufficient, even when there is a large degree of contamination by Ca2+ as long as the pH stays above 6.5. 相似文献
2. The inhibitory action of respiratory-chain inhibitors on the ATPase activity, which is independent of the actual inhibitor used, is greatly delayed or prevented by the presence of uncoupler, and, in the case of rotenone, can be reversed completely by the subsequent addition of succinate (in the absence of uncoupler). These results can be explained on the basis of the proposal previously made by others that coupled electron transfer causes a structural change in the ATPase complex that results in a decreased affinity of the ATPase inhibitor for the mitochondrial ATPase.
3. Inorganic phosphate specifically stimulates the ATPase activity at high uncoupler concentrations (> 0.2 μM), but has no effect at low concentrations. The stimulation is prevented or abolished by sufficiently high concentrations of aurovertin.
4. Aurovertin prevents the inhibition of the uncoupler-induced ATPase by high uncoupler concentrations.
5. It is proposed that the steady-state concentration of endogenous Pi may be an important regulator of the turnover of the ATPase in intact mitochondria and that the inhibition of ATPase activity by high concentrations of uncoupler is at least partially mediated via changes in the concentration of endogenous Pi. 相似文献
2. EDTA does not appear to be bound by heart mitochondria. At neutral pH the chelator penetrates into the mitochondrial water volume to the same extent as sucrose and mannitol. At pH 8.1 where the removal of mitochondrial Mg2+ by EDTA is more effective, EDTA penetrates virtually the entire water volume. This penetration requires the presence of a source of energy, a transported cation such as Na+, and a permeant anion. It appears possible that the oscillations in ion uptake and swelling observed in the presence of EDTA at pH 8.1 may be related to the presence of the chelator in the interior compartment under these conditions. 相似文献

2. The mitochondrial ATPase (F1) binds one mole aurovertin/mole F1 with a dissociation constant of 6·10−8 M.
3. The fluorescence of mitochondrion-bound aurovertin is maximal during State-3 respiration and is partially quenched on anaerobiosis, addition of respiratory inhibitor, oligomycin or uncoupler, or transition to State 4. This quenching is still present when the binding site is saturated with aurovertin, showing that the quantum yield of fluorescence is lowered.
4. Aurovertin is bound co-operatively to State-3 mitochondria.
5. The curve relating inhibition of State-3 respiration to aurovertin concentration is more sharply sigmoidal than the binding curve.
6. An analysis of the binding and inhibition data leads to the conclusion that aurovertin induces a conformation change in the binding site on F1 in two ways: (i) directly by acting as an allosteric effector of an oligomeric system, (ii) indirectly by inhibiting State-3 respiration which changes the allosteric constant of the oligomeric system.
7. The concentration of the aurovertin-binding site in both rat-liver and rat-heart mitochondria is about the same as that of the antimycin-binding and oligomycin-binding sites. 相似文献
(2) A light dependent increase in the Mg2+ content of the stroma was detected when chloroplasts were subjected to osmotic shock, amounting to 26 nmol/mg chlorophyll. Furthermore, a rapid and reversible light-dependent efflux of Mg2+ has been observed in intact chloroplasts when the divalent cation ionophore A 23 187 was added, indicating a light-dependent transfer of about 60 nmol of Mg2+ per mg chlorophyll from the thylakoid membranes to the stroma.
(3) CO2 fixation, but not phosphoglycerate reduction, could be completely inhibited when A 23 187 was added to intact chloroplasts in the absence of external Mg2+. If Mg2+ was then added to the medium, CO2 fixation was restored. Half of the maximal restoration was achieved with about 0.2 mM Mg2+, which is calculated to reflect a Mg2+ concentration in the stroma of 1.2 mM. The further addition of Ca2+ strongly inhibits CO2 fixation.
(4) The results suggest that illumination of intact chloroplasts causes an increase in the Mg2+ concentration of 1–3 mM in the stroma. Compared to the total Mg2+ content of chloroplasts, this increase is very low, but it appears to be high enough to have a possible function in the light regulation of CO2 fixation. 相似文献
2. 1-Anilinonaphthalene 8-sulfonate fluorescence was decreased when the mitochondria were oxidizing succinate. Carbonylcyanide-p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone and antimycin reversed the succinate-induced fluorescence diminution. ATP did not induce the fluorescence response.
3. The addition of succinate, NADH or ascorbate/N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine as electron donor induced high ATPase activity in the presence of low concentrations of uncouplers. Stimulating effect of uncouplers was completely abolished by further addition of antimycin.
4. Submitochondrial particles were prepared by sonication. The particles catalyzed a rapid hydrolysis of ATP and carbonylcyanide-p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone at 10-8 M did not stimulate the ATPase activity. Addition of succinate induced uncoupler-stimulated ATPase activity. The effect of succinate was completely abolished by further addition of antimycin.
5. The treatment of submitochondrial particles by trypsin or high pH also induced uncoupler-stimulated ATPase activity.
6. The above results were interpreted to indicate that ATPase inhibitor regulated the back-flow reaction of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. 相似文献
