Incubation of glycerol-extracted, Triton X-100 demembranated Tetrahymena cilia with 2–10 vol % acetone caused an enhancement of ATPase activity by 2- to 3- fold, depending on concentration and time of incubation. Axonemal ATPase activity was also increased upon incubation with bis (4-fluoro-3-nitrophenyl) sulfone (FNS). Acetone and FNS enhanced the activity of solubilized 30S dynein, but slightly inhibited that of 14S dynein. Heating at 38°C, incubation with FNS, and incubation with acetone activated axonemal ATPase to the same extent. Subsequent studies of (1) the effect of time of preincubation with a spin-labeled maleimide (SLM) at 25°C as a function of pH on the ATPase activity, (2) the concentration dependence of the inhibition of ATPase activity by N-ethylmaleimide or SLM, (3) the ratio of ATPase activity assayed at 25°C to that assayed at 0°C, and (4) the ratio of ATPase activity at pH 8.6 to that at pH 6.9 did not reveal any difference in the properties of the axonemal ATPase after near maximal enhancement by the heat, acetone, or FNS treatments. It was concluded that enhancement of ATPase activity by gentle heat treatment, by incubation with acetone (or other organic solvents), or by FNS results from a conformation change of 30S dynein. The effect of acetone and of FNS on the pellet height response (a measure of the increase in height of the pellet of cilia precipitated by brief centrifugation in the presence of ATP as compared to the absence of ATP) was also determined. Enhancement of ATPase by these reagents did not lead to a decrease in pellet height response. This observation, in conjunction with other data, indicates that there are at least 3 states of the cross-bridge cycle of dynein arms in cilia. 相似文献

The effects of N-1-oxyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinyl)maleimide(SLM) on the pellet height response and ATPase activity of glycerinated Triton X-100 extracted cilia of Tetrahymena pyriformis have been studied. Preincubation of cilia with SLM caused complete inhibition of the pellet height response and an initial increase in ATPase activity followed upon longer exposure to SLM by inhibition of ATPase. The effect of SLM on extracted 30S dynein was the reverse of that for whole cilia: ATPase activity was increased when 30S dynein was added to a mixture of ATP and SLM and inhibited when the 30S dynein was preincubated with SLM. The activity of 14S dynein was only inhibited by SLM. Electron spin resonance spectra of ciliary axonemes that had reacted with SLM for various times showed that much of the covalently bound SLM was strongly immobilized even after 1 min of reaction, when ATPase activity increased twofold. The proportion of strongly immobilized label increased with longer times of reaction. Addition of ATP to SLM-labeled axonemes caused a small decrease in the height of the spectral peak corresponding to strongly immobilized label as compared with that of weakly immobilized label, indicating an increase in rotational freedom of some covalently bound label. The results suggest that ATP causes a conformation change affecting a sulfhydryl group(s) involved in the mechanochemical system. It was also shown that beta,gamma-methylene ATP(AMP-PCP) is an inhibitor of dynein ATPase. This analogue of ATP is not hydrolyzed by whole cilia or by the extracted dyneins and does not cause a pellet height response. With Mg2+ as divalent cation, AMP-PCP inhibits 30S dynein more than it inhibits 14S dynein; with Ca2+, the inhibition of 30S dynein is reduced, and there is no inhibition of 14S dynein. Under conditions where AMP-PCP inhibited 30S dynein ATPase it was much less effective than ATP in protecting against the loss of ATPase activity by SLM. Although SLM inhibited Mg2+-activated 14S and 30S dyneins in solution, it did not inhibit ciliary ATPase activity. These results support the view that at least 2 SH groups are involved in ciliary motility and that their reactivity to SH reagents depends on whether the dyneins are in situ or have been extracted. 相似文献

The enhancing effect of low concentrations (eg, 8 μM) of bis(4-fluoro-3-nitrophenyl)sulfone (FNS) on 30S dynein ATPase activity is increased when 1 mM dithiothreitol (DTT) is present. The effect of FNS + DTT is optimal at pH 7.5. Activation of the latent ATPase activity of 30S dynein by FNS + DTT is partially prevented by 1–3 μM ATP. Adenylylimidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP) is less effective than ATP, while β,γ-methylene-adenosine triphosphate (AMP-PCP), though a much stronger inhibitor of ATPase activity than AMP-PNP, does not protect against enhancement. These results demonstrate the presence of a high-affinity ATP-binding site on 30S dynein. 相似文献

An apparent 'triphasic' alteration of 30S dynein ATPase activity was produced by treatment with various amounts of NEM when the modification and susequent ATPase assay were carried out at pH 7.4 and pH 10-10.2, respectively. The Mg-ATPase activity was markedly inhibited by modification of the most reactive SH groups with 10 microM NEM, although the same treatment had no significant effect on the activity when assayed at neutral pH. Increasing the NEM concentration to 0.3 mM largely restored the enzyme activity, but a further increase in NEM concentration inhibited the enzyme activity again. This unusual response of 30S dynein ATPase at pH 10-10.2 was accounted for by the results of Arrhenius plots of the enzyme activity at pH 10.1; the enzyme protein modified with not more than 10 microM NEM was not stable under the assay conditions (pH 10-10.2 at 25 degrees C), whereas modification with 0.3 mM NEM stabilized 30S dynein against the assay conditions. The possible significance of the 10 microM NEM-induced inhibition of the 30S dynein alkaline ATPase activity is discussed in connection with the participation of SH groups of 30S dynein in the enzyme activity. 相似文献

The effects of thioura and of several substituted thioureas–phenylthiourea, α-naphtylthiourea, metiamide, and burimamide–on dynein ATPase have been studied. The substituted thioureas are over 30 times more potent than thiourea in causing enhancement of 30S dynein ATPase activity and inhibition of 14S dynein ATPase activity. The effects of thiourea and phenylthiourea can be prevented by very low concentrations of β-mercaptoethanol or dithiotheritol. Axonemal ATPase is also enhanced by the thioureas, but the reaction proceeds more slowly than for solubilized 30S dynein. Enhancement of 30S dynein ATPase by metiamide is prevented by low (~ 1 μM) concentrations of ATP and, less effectively, by AMP-PNP, but not by AMP-PCP even though the latter is a stronger inhibitor of 30S dynein ATPase than is AMP-PNP. The thioureas inhibit the ATP-induced decrease in turbidity (measured as ΔA350) of axonemal suspensions. Inhibition of the turbidity response is also prevented by low concentrations of β-mercaptoethanol, but, in contrast to the irreversible enhancement of ATPase activity, inhibition of the turbidity response is largely reversible. The ability of 30S dynein to rebind onto twice extracted axonemes is not changed by treatment with phenylthiourea or metiamide. These observations indicate that the thioureas react with at least two sets of SH or S–S groups on axonemes. Reaction with the group(s) on the 30S dynein causes an apparently irreversible enhancement of ATPase activity. Reaction with another group(s) causes a reversible inhibition of the turbidity response. 相似文献

Specific anion effects on ATPase activity, calmodulin sensitivity, and solubilization of dynein ATPases 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The basal ATPase activity of 30S dynein, whether obtained by extraction of ciliary axonemes with a high (0.5 M NaCl) or low (1 mM Tris-0.1 mM EDTA) ionic strength buffer is increased by NaCl, NaNO3, and Na acetate, with NaNO3 causing the largest increase. The calmodulin-activated ATPase activity of 30S dynein is also increased by addition of NaCl, NaNO3, or Na acetate, but the effects are less pronounced than on basal activity, so that the calmodulin activation ratio (CAR) decreases to 1.0 as salt concentration increases to 0.2 M. These salts also reduce the CAR of 14S dynein ATPase to 1.0 but by strongly inhibiting the calmodulin-activated ATPase activity and only slightly inhibiting the basal activity. Sodium fluoride differs both quantitatively and qualitatively from the other three salts studied. It inhibits the ATPase activity of both 14S and 30S dyneins at concentrations below 5 mM and, by a stronger inhibition of the calmodulin-activated ATPase activities, reduces the CAR to 1.0. Na acetate does not inhibit axonemal ATPase, nor does it interfere with the drop in turbidity caused by ATP and extracts very little protein from the axonemes. NaCl and, especially, NaNO3, cause a slow decrease in A350 of an axonemal suspension and an inhibition of the turbidity response to ATP. NaF, at concentrations comparable to those that inhibit the ATPase activities of the solubilized dyneins, also inhibits axonemal ATPase activity and the turbidity response. Pretreatment of demembranated axonemes with a buffer containing 0.25 M sodium acetate for 5 min followed by extraction for 5 min with a buffer containing 0.5 M NaCl and resolution of the extracted dynein on a sucrose density gradient generally yields a 30S dynein that is activated by calmodulin in a heterogeneous manner, ie, the "light" 30S dynein ATPase fractions are more activated than the "heavy" 30S dynein fractions. These results demonstrate specific anion effects on the basal and calmodulin-activated dynein ATPase activities, on the extractability of proteins from the axoneme, and on the turbidity response of demembranated axonemes to ATP. They also provide a method that frequently yields 30S dynein fractions with ATPase activities that are activated over twofold by added calmodulin. 相似文献

Ciliary 30S dynein of Tetrahymena was investigated with regard to modification of the ATPase activity with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) in the presence of ATP. The elevation of enzyme activity due to the modification was largely repressed by addition of ATP at a concentration of 1 mM or more during preincubation of 20 h at 0 degrees C. The repression was highly specific for ATP, though ADP and AMPPNP showed slight repressive effects. After complete hydrolysis of ATP added to the preincubation mixture, however, elevation of 30S dynein ATPase activity occurred. It is suggested that the repression by ATP of NEM-induced elevation of 30S dynein ATPase activity is simply due to a protecting effect of ATP on certain SH group(s) (probably SH1-type group(s)) around the active center of 30S dynein. When 30S dynein was maximally activated by modification with NEM, ATP or ADP did not significantly promote the inactivation of the modified enzyme upon further treatment with NEM, indicating that 30S dynein lacks the characteristics of SH2-type groups. On the other hand, ATP also showed a protective effect against inhibition of native 30S dynein by high concentrations of NEM. High concentrations of ADP and AMPPNP were inhibitory to 30S dynein ATPase activity but inorganic phosphate did not inhibit 14S or 30S dynein ATPase activities at all. 相似文献

Interrelationships between thermal-, N-ethylmaleimide-, and Ca2+-calmodulin-mediated activation/inactivation of dynein ATPase activities 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Interactive effects between calmodulin activation of 30 S dynein ATPase activity and activation by heat or N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) have been studied. Addition of calmodulin during the heat treatment caused a larger increment in ATPase activity (above that caused by heating alone) than did addition of calmodulin after the heat treatment. Similar results were obtained in experiments where activation was caused by NEM treatment. For both the heat and NEM treatments, the synergistic effect of calmodulin when present during the treatment was Ca2+ dependent although activation of ATPase activity by either treatment alone was not Ca2+ dependent. Heating 14 S dynein inhibited its ATPase activity and reduced the effectiveness of calmodulin as an activator. The activating effect of calmodulin added after heat or NEM treatments was about the same as if the calmodulin was present during the treatment, i.e., interactive effects were minimal. Concentrations of NEM that had little effect on the ATPase activity of 14 S dynein largely eliminated the ability of calmodulin to activate its ATPase activity. Chromatography of the heat-treated 14 S dynein on calmodulin-Sepharose 4B indicated that the loss of sensitivity of 14 S dynein ATPase to calmodulin was not due to loss of ability of the dynein to bind to calmodulin. Retention of calmodulin binding ability was also shown for heat-treated 30 S dynein. These results suggest that calmodulin and heat/NEM activate solubilized 30 S dynein ATPase by separate mechanisms which may include a common process. 相似文献

ABSTRACT. Tetrahymena thermophila mutants homozygous for the oad mutation become nonmotile when grown at the restrictive temperature, and axonemes isolated from nonmotile mutants lack approximately 90% of their outer dynein arms. Electrophoretic analyses of axonemes isolated from nonmotile mutants ( oad axonemes) indicate they contain significantly fewer of the 22 S dynein heavy chains that axonemes isolated from wild-type cells (wild-type axonemes) contain. The 22 S dynein heavy chains that remain in axonemes isolated from nonmotile, oad mutants are assembled into 22 S dynein particles that exhibit wild-type levels of ATPase activity. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of oad axonemes show that they are deficient in no proteins other than those proteins thought to be components of 22 S dynein. This report is the first formal proof that outer dynein arms in Tetrahymena cilia are composed of 22 S dynein. 相似文献

When 21S dynein ATPase [EC 3.6.1.3] from sea urchin sperm flagellar axonemes was mixed with the salt-extracted axonemes, the ATPase activity was much higher than the sum of ATPase activities in the two fractions, as reported previously (Gibbons, I.R. & Fronk, E. (1979) J. Biol. Chem. 254, 187-196). This high ATPase level was for the first time demonstrated to be due to the activation of the 21S dynein ATPase activity by the axonemes. The mode of the activation was studied to get an insight into the mechanism of dynein-microtubule interaction. The salt-extracted axonemes caused a 7- to 8-fold activation of the 21S dynein ATPase activity at an axoneme : dynein weight ratio of about 14 : 1. The activation was maximal at a low ionic strength (no KCl) at pH 7.9-8.3. Under these conditions, 21S dynein rebound to the salt-extracted axonemes. The maximal binding ratio of 21S dynein to the axonemes was the same as that observed in the maximal activation of 21S dynein ATPase. The sliding between the outer doublet microtubules in the trypsin-treated 21S dynein-rebound axonemes took place upon the addition of 0.05-0.1 mM ATP in the absence of KCl. During the sliding, the rate of ATP hydrolysis was at the same level as that of the 21S dynein activated by the salt-extracted axonemes. However, it decreased to the level of 21S dynein alone after the sliding. These results suggested that an interaction of the axoneme-rebound 21S dynein with B-subfibers of the adjacent outer doublet microtubules in the axoneme causes the activation of the ATPase activity. 相似文献

A high-resolution sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis system has been used to show the presence, in both whole sperm and isolated flagellar axonemes, of eight polypeptides migrating in the 300,000–350,000 molecular weight range characteristic of the heavy chains of dynein ATPase. Previously, only five such chains have been discernible. Extraction of isolated axonemes for 10 min at 4°C with a solution containing 0.6 M NaCl, pH 7, releases a mixture of particles that separate, in sucrose density gradient centrifugation, into a major peak, dynein 1 ATPase, sedimenting at 21 S and a minor peak at 12–14S. The polypeptide compositions of these two peaks are different. The dynein 1 peak, which contains most of the protein on the gradient, contains approximately equal quantities of two closely migrating heavy chains, with a small amount of a third, more slowly migrating chain; no other heavy chains appear in this peak. Two groups of smaller polypeptides (three intermediate chains, within the apparent molecular weight range 76,000–122,000 and four newly discovered light chains, within the apparent molecular weight range 14,000–24,000) cosediment with the 21 S peak. The heavy chain composition of the 12–14S peak is more complex, all eight heavy chains occurring in approximately the same ratios as occur in intact axonemes. 相似文献

Previous work has shown that the dynein from axonemes of sea urchin sperm consists of two distinct fractions which differ substantially in their extractability by salt. Upon gel electrophoresis of whole demembranated axonemes solubilized with sodium dodecyl sulfate, the dynein fraction shows two closely spaced bands with apparent molecular weights of 520,000 and 460,000; the proteins in these bands are termed the A and B components of the dynein. Similar electrophoresis of the soluble fraction obtained by extracting the axonemes with 0.5 M NaCl shows a single prominent band containing approximately half of the A component of the dynein (A1 component). The residue of extracted axonemes contain the other half of the A component of the dynein (A2 component) and all the B component. Densitometry of the bands indicates that the A1, A2 and B components of the dynein are present in approximately equal molar quantity. Electron microscopic studies show that the A1 component of the dynein constitutes the outer arms on the doublet tubules. Assay of ATPase activity in 0.05 M KCl and l mM ATP indicates about 65% of the total ATPase activity becomes soluble when the A1 component of the dynein is extracted with salt. 相似文献

Axonemes were isolated from sperm of Colobocentrotus by a procedure involving two extractions with 1% Triton X-100 and washing The isolated axonemes contained 7 x 1015 g protein per µm of their length. Treatment of the axonemes with 0 5 M KCl for 30 min extracted 50–70% of the flagellar ATPase protein, dynein, and removed preferentially the outer arms from the doublet tubules. Almost all of the dynein (85–95%) could be extracted from the axonemes by dialysis at low ionic strength. In both cases the extracted dynein sedimented through sucrose gradients at 12–14S, and no 30S form was observed The enzymic properties of dynein changed when it was extracted from the axonemes into solution. Solubilization had a particularly marked effect on the KCl- and pH-dependence of the ATPase activity. The pH-dependence of soluble dynein was fairly simple with a single peak extending from about pH 6 to pH 10. The pH-dependence of bound dynein was more complex. In 0.1 M KCl, the bound activity appeared to peak at about pH 9, and dropped off rapidly with decreasing pH, reaching almost zero at pH 7; an additional peak at pH 10 0 resulted from the breakdown of the axonemal structure and solubilization of dynein that occurred at about this pH. A similar curve was obtained in the absence of KCl, except for the presence of a further large peak at pH 8 Measurement of the kinetic parameters of soluble dynein showed that both Km and Vmax increased with increasing concentrations of KCl up to 0.5 M When bound dynein was assayed under conditions that would induce motility in reactivated sperm (0 15 M KCl with Mg++ activation), it did not obey Michaelis-Menten kinetics, although it did when assayed under other conditions. The complex enzyme-kinetic behavior of bound dynein, and the differences between its enzymic properties and those of soluble dynein, may result from its interactions with tubulin and other axonemal proteins 相似文献

ABSTRACT. The effects of organic solvents on the ATPase activity and the sliding disintegration of axonemes from Chlamydomonas were investigated. The axonemal ATPase was markedly activated by methanol accompanying with marked inhibition of the sliding disintegration of axonemes. On the contrary, glycerol inhibited the ATPase activity without serious inhibition of the sliding disintegration. As far as the axonemes are not irreversibly denatured by extremely high concentration of solvents, the effects of solvents both on the ATPase and the ability of sliding are reversible. Therefore, the inhibition of sliding accompanied by the activation of ATPase is probably due to an inability to couple the hydrolysis of ATP to sliding between dynein and microtubule in the presence of methanol. The axonemal ATPase was less sensitive to vanadate inhibition after exposure to methanol. This indicates that methanol makes the dyneinADP.Pi complex unstable and increases product release. On the other hand, glycerol and ethylene glycol seem to stabilize the force generation responsible for the sliding through stabilizing the dynein.ADP.Pi complex. 相似文献

Half of the adenosine triphosphatase (dynein) activity of starfish sperm tail axonemes was extracted with 0.6 m KCl-10 mm Tris · HCl (pH 7.8)-0.1 mm EDTA-0.5 mm dithiothreitol (KCl-EDTA), while with 1 mm Tris · HCl (pH 7.8)-0.1 mm EDTA-0.5 mm dithiothreitol (Tris-EDTA) around 90% of the activity was extracted. The main adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) in the KCl-EDTA extract had a sedimentation coefficient of 20S and that in the Tris-EDTA extract had a sedimentation coefficient of 12S. The effects of divalent cations, pH, and an SH-blocking reagent and the Km for ATP were different for the activities of the two forms of dynein ATPase. These two forms of dynein can interconvert to some extent when the ionic strength of the medium is changed. In a medium suitable for recombination of dynein to outer doublet microtubules (recombination buffer, 20 mm Tris-HCl (pH 7.6)-2 mm MgCl2-0.5 mm dithiothreitol), the 20S ATPase converted to a 24S ATPase. Recombination of the ATPase activity from the KCl-EDTA extract was almost complete while that from the Tris-EDTA extract was around 50%. Outer arms disappeared preferentially by the treatment with KCl-EDTA, and the extracted arms could be reconstituted in the recombination buffer. In the case of the Tris-EDTA extraction, both the outer and inner arms disappeared and the reconstitution of the arms could not be confirmed. From the above results it can be considered that the 20 or 24S dynein represented the arm structure. The 20 or 24S ATPase fraction contained two large polypeptide chains as main components having electrophoretic mobilities in the presence of sodium dodecylsulfate similar to those of Tetrahymena ciliary dyneins and of sea urchin sperm flagellar dyneins. The relationship between these chains and dynein subunits is discussed. 相似文献

The effects of N-ethylmaleimide and p-hydroxymercuribenzoate on the ATPase activity of glycerinated Tetrahymena cilia, of 30 S dynein extracted from the cilia, and on the residual ATPase remaining after extraction were studied and correlated with the effects of these reagents on the pellet height response of these cilia. Simultaneous addition of N-ethylmaleimide and ATP to cilia caused a slight inhibition of ATPase activity. Preincubation of the cilia with low N-ethylmaleimide in the absence of ATP, however, enhanced the ATPase activity; the enhancement decreased with increasing time of preincubation. Preincubation of cilia with high N-ethylmaleimide caused increasing inhibition. p-Hydroxymercuribenzoate was more potent than N-ethylmaleimide, usually causing only an inhibition which increased if the cilia were preincubated with p-hydroxymercuribenzoate in the absence of ATP.The pellet height response of these cilia, which serves as a convenient assay of some events related to ciliary motility, was inhibited about 50% by high concentrations of N-ethylmaleimide in the presence of ATP. Preincubation of the cilia with low concentrations of N-ethylmaleimide led to complete loss of the pellet height response. p-Hydroxymercuribenzoate was a more potent inhibitor of the pellet height response than N-ethylmaleimide; complete inhibition was attained even in the presence of ATP, while preincubation with a low concentration of p-hydroxymercuri-benzoate caused a very rapid loss of pellet height response.The ATPase activity of the crude dynein obtained by extraction of cilia and removal of the axonemes was approximately doubled by preincubation with N-ethylmaleimide. 30 S Dynein, obtained from the crude dynein by sedimentation on a sucrose density gradient, was slightly inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide; p-hydroxy-mercuribenzoate was more potent. The residual ATPase activity remaining on the axonemes after two extractions was also only inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide and by p-hydroxymercuribenzoate.These results demonstrated that SH groups influence both the ATPase activity of dynein and the pellet height response of glycerinated cilia. The possible significance of the similarity in enhancing effect of N-ethylmaleimide on cilia ATPase and on myosin ATPase was discussed. 相似文献

Strikingly low ATPase activities in flagellar axonemes of a Chlamydomonas mutant missing outer dynein arms 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The ATPase activities in Chlamydomonas axonemes were compared between wild type and a mutant (oda) that lacks entire outer dynein arms, at various ionic strengths and pH values, and in the presence of different concentrations of high-molecular-mass dextran. Over a 0-0.2 M KCl concentration range, the ATPase activity of oda axonemes was found to be 5-12 times lower than that of the wild-type axonemes. The low activity in oda is surprising since outer arm-depleted axonemes of sea urchin sperm have been reported to retain about 50% of the normal activity. In both wild type and oda, the ATPase activity of dynein was higher when contained within the axoneme than when released from it with 0.6 M KCl. The ATPase activation within the wild-type axoneme was inhibited by high ionic strengths or by the presence of dextran. The activation in oda axonemes, on the other hand, was not inhibited by these factors. These significantly different ATPase properties suggest that the inner and outer dynein arms perform somewhat different functions in this organism. 相似文献

Cilia from Tetrahymena pyriformis were extracted twice with Tris-EDTA. The first extraction increased the total ATPase activity by about one-third. No increase in activity occurred as a result of the second extraction, but 40% of the original ATPase activity remained in the pellet. The activity remaining in the pellet differed in its substrate specificity, its thermostability, and its sensitivity to monovalent cation chlorides from the solubilized dynein. Several of the properties of the ATPase activity of whole cilia differed from those computed for a mixture of 40% pellet ATPase + 60% solubilized dynein ATPase. From these differences it was deduced that dynein in situ is more thermostable than is solubilized dynein and, in contrast to solubilized dynein, is slightly inhibited by KCl, NaCl, LiCl, and NH4Cl. The increase in total activity upon solubilization of the dynein and the changes in thermostability and in sensitivity to monovalent cations indicates that dynein ATPase in situ is modified by interaction with other components of the axonemal bend generating system.The pellet remaining after extraction of dynein by two dialyses against Tris-EDTA was treated with 0.4% Triton X-100 to solubilize ciliary membranes. Less than half of the ATPase activity was solubilized by this treatment. The possibility that the activity remaining in the Tris-EDTA- and Triton X-100-extracted residue represents an additional ATPase of cilia is discussed. 相似文献

Cilia from the protozoan Tetrahymena pyriformis were demembranated and then extracted for 5 min with a buffer containing 0.5 M NaCl. The briefly extracted axonemal pellet was then reextracted for about 20 hr. The soluble material obtained from each extraction was resolved into 14S and 30S dynein ATPases by sedimentation on sucrose density gradients and tested for sensitivity to added calmodulin. The 14S dynein obtained by a 5-min extraction was generally insensitive to added calmodulin, whereas that obtained by 20-hr extraction of the 5-min extracted axonemes was activated by calmodulin, the activation being much larger in the “light” 14S fractions than in the “heavy” fractions. The 30S dynein ATPase obtained by a 5-min extraction was generally activated over 1.6-fold by added calmodulin, whereas that obtained by the subsequent long extraction was usually activated only 1.3-fold. After further purification of the 5-min extracted 30S dynein and of the 5-min to 20-hr-extracted 14S dynein on DEAE-Sephacel, these dyneins retained much of their calmodulin activatability. The ATPase activity of both 14S and 30S dyneins was inhibited more strongly by erythro-9-[3-(2-hydroxynonyl)] adenine and by vanadate in the presence of added calmodulin than in its absence. These data suggest that the only ATPase activity present in the fractions studied is that of the dyneins and demonstrate that both the 14S and 30S dynein ATPases may be obtained in forms mat are activated by added calmodulin as well as in forms that are insensitive to added calmodulin. 相似文献

The ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) activity of 30 S dynein from Tetrahymena cilia was remarkably stimulated by porcine brain tubulin at pH 10. The activity increased with increasing concentration of tubulin until the molar ratio of tubulin dimer to 30 S dynein reached approx. 10. The optimum of the ATPase activity of 30 S dynein in the presence of tubulin was 1?2 mM for MgCl2 and 2 mM for CaCl2. Increasing ionic strength gradually inhibited the stimulation effects of tubulin. Activation energies of 30 S dynein in the presence and absence of tubulin were almost the same. At the temperatures beyond 25 °C stimulation effects of tubulin disappeared. ATP was a specific substrate even in the presence of tubulin. In kinetic investigations parallel reciprocal plots were observed in a constant ratio of divalent cations to ATP of 2, indicating that tubulin was less tightly bound to 30 S dynein in the presence of ATP than in the absence. The similar results were obtained at pH 8.2. 14 S dynein and the 12 S fragment which have poor ability to recombine with outer fibers were also activated with brain tubulin. 相似文献
