Abundant evidence indicates that ATP and adenosine act as neurotransmitters or co-transmitters, influencing nerve cell physiology in various ways. Therefore, regulation of ATP-metabolizing enzymes is essential for the normal development and function of neuronal tissue. In the present study we have examined the effect of gonadal (OVX) or adrenal (ADX) steroid hormone deprivation on the activity and expression of synaptic membrane ecto-ATPase in three extrahypothalamic brain areas of female rats, primarily not associated with reproductive function. It was shown that OVX significantly increased ecto-ATPase activity and the relative abundance of this enzyme in the hippocampal (Hip) and caudate nucleus (CN), but not in brain stem (BS) membrane preparations. ADX was followed by an upregulation of the enzyme activity and its relative abundance in all the brain areas investigated. The highest enzyme activity and the most profound effects of OVX and ADX were detected in the CN. The results obtained indicate that ADX and OVX upregulate the expression of ecto-ATPase, potentiating the production of adenosine in synaptic cleft thus modulating the activity of numerous neurotransmitter systems in distinct areas of the CNS. 相似文献

An ontogenetic study of ecto-ATPase activity and the content of enzyme proteins was assessed in the caudate nucleus and hippocampal synaptic plasma membranes isolated from rats at various ages (15, 30, 90, 180 and 365 days). The ontogenetic profile revealed that the enzyme activities in both brain areas were the highest on day 30 and 365, while the ecto-ATPase protein abundance was the highest on day 15 after birth. Possible explanation for obtained ontogenetic profile and the discrepancy between activity and abundance may reside in the fact that ecto-ATPase during development could exert additional roles other than those related to metabolism of ATP. It is likely that ecto-ATPase, regulating the concentration of ATP and adenosine in synaptic cleft, has important role in the processes of brain development and aging. 相似文献

The inner layer of the aorta contains the enzyme ATP diphosphohydrolase (ATPDase: EC 3.6.1.5) which catalyzes the sequential phosphorolysis of ATP----ADP----AMP. Two zones of the inner layer, the intima and media, were separated and both were shown to contain ATPDase activity of similar specific activity (0.08 and 0.10 U/mg protein, respectively). However, the media exhibited about 100-times more enzyme activity than the intima. Both preparations were virtually identical with respect to pH optima (7.5), migration patterns after electrophoresis under non-denaturing conditions, relative rates of ATP and ADP hydrolysis and potency to inhibit ADP-induced platelet aggregation in both human platelet-rich plasma and whole blood. The IC50 values for ADP (2 microM)-induced aggregation were 6.8 and 12.9 mU/ml in platelet-rich plasma and whole blood, respectively. Addition of ATPDase to platelets pre-aggregated with ADP resulted in a dose-dependent disaggregation in platelet-rich plasma (IC50 4.9 mU/ml), but not in whole blood. When both ATPDase (5.6-58.7 mU/ml) and ATP (0.5-10 microM) were added to platelet-rich plasma, there was an immediate dose-dependent aggregation of platelets followed by a slowly developing disaggregation. These data show that ATPDase is present in both the intima and media layers of bovine aorta and suggest a dual role for this enzyme in platelet activation. By converting ATP released from damaged cells into ADP, the enzyme could facilitate platelet aggregation at the site of vascular injury, whereas the subsequent conversion of ADP to AMP could inhibit or reverse platelet aggregation. The consequence of these activities would be to control the growth of a platelet thrombus. 相似文献

A mathematical model was built to account for the kinetic of extracellular ATP (ATPe) and extracellular ADP (ADPe) concentrations from goldfish hepatocytes exposed to hypotonicity. The model was based on previous experimental results on the time course of ATPe accumulation, ectoATPase activity, and cell viability [Pafundo et al., 2008].The kinetic of ATPe is controlled by a lytic ATP flux, a non-lytic ATP flux, and ecto-ATPase activity, whereas ADPe kinetic is governed by a lytic ADP flux and both ecto-ATPase and ecto-ADPase activities. Non-lytic ATPe efflux was included as a diffusion equation modulated by ATPe activation (positive feedback) and ADPe inhibition (negative feedback).The model yielded physically meaningful and stable steady-state solutions, was able to fit the experimental time evolution of ATPe and simulated the concomitant kinetic of ADPe. According to the model during the first minute of hypotonicity the concentration of ATPe is mainly governed by both lytic and non-lytic ATP efflux, with almost no contribution from ecto-ATPase activity. Later on, ecto-ATPase activity becomes important in defining the time dependent decay of ATPe levels. ADPe inhibition of the non-lytic ATP efflux was strong, whereas ATPe activation was minimal. Finally, the model was able to predict the consequences of partial inhibition of ecto-ATPase activity on the ATPe kinetic, thus emulating the exposure of goldfish cells to hypotonic medium in the presence of the ATP analog AMP-PCP. The model predicts this analog to both inhibit ectoATPase activity and increase non-lytic ATP release. 相似文献

Ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases (E-NTPDases) comprise a novel family of ectonucleotidases that are important in the hydrolysis of extracellular nucleotides. The related NTPDase1 (ecto-apyrase) and NTPDase2 (ecto-ATPase) share a common membrane topography with a transmembrane domain at both the N- and C-terminus, an extensive extracellular loop with five 'apyrase conserved regions' (ACR1 to ACR5), and a cysteine-rich C-terminal region. Whereas NTPDase1 expressed in CHO cells hydrolyzes ATP and ADP equivalently, NTPDase2 has a high preference for the hydrolysis of ATP over ADP. In addition recombinant NTPDase1 hydrolyzes ATP to AMP with the formation of only minor amounts of free ADP. In contrast, ADP appears as the major free product when ATP is hydrolyzed by NTPDase2. In order to determine molecular domains responsible for these differences in catalytic properties, chimeric cDNAs were constructed in which N-terminal sequences of increasing length of NTPDase1 were substituted by the corresponding sequences of NTPDase2 and vice versa. The turnover points were contained within ACR1 to ACR5. Chimeric cDNAs were expressed in CHO cells and surface expression was verified by immunocytochemistry. ATP and ADP hydrolysis rates and ADP and AMP product formation were determined using HPLC. Amino-acid residues between ACR3 and ACR5 and in particular the cysteine-rich region between ACR4 and ACR5 conferred a phenotype to the chimeric enzymes that corresponded to the respective wild-type enzyme. Protein structure rather than the conserved ACRs may be of major relevance for determining differences in the catalytic properties between the related wild-type enzymes. 相似文献

We have identified and characterized a novel ATP diphosphohydrolase (ATPDase) with features of E-type ATPases from porcine liver. Immunoblotting with a specific monoclonal antibody to this ectoenzyme revealed high expression in liver with lesser amounts in kidney and duodenum. This ATPDase was localized by immunohistochemistry to the bile canalicular domain of hepatocytes and to the luminal side of the renal ductular epithelium. In contrast, ATPDase/cd39 was detected in vascular endothelium and smooth muscle in these organs. We purified the putative ATPDase from liver by immunoaffinity techniques and obtained a heavily glycosylated protein with a molecular mass estimated at 75 kDa. This enzyme hydrolyzed all tri- and diphosphonucleosides but not AMP or diadenosine polyphosphates. There was an absolute requirement for divalent cations (Ca(2+) > Mg(2+)). Biochemical activity was unaffected by sodium azide or other inhibitors of ATPases. Kinetic parameters derived from purified preparations of hepatic ATPDase indicated V(max) of 8.5 units/mg of protein with apparent K(m) of 100 microM for both ATP or ADP as substrates. NH(2)-terminal amino acid sequencing revealed near 50% identity with rat liver lysosomal (Ca(2+)-Mg(2+))-ATPase. The different biochemical properties and localization of the hepatic ATPDase suggest pathophysiological functions that are distinct from the vascular ATPDase/cd39. 相似文献

DNA topoisomerase II uses a complex, sequential mechanism of ATP hydrolysis to catalyze the transport of one DNA duplex through a transient break in another. ICRF-193 is a catalytic inhibitor of topoisomerase II that is known to trap a closed-clamp intermediate form of the enzyme. Using steady-state and rapid kinetic ATPase and DNA transport assays, we have analyzed how trapping this intermediate by the drug perturbs the topoisomerase II mechanism. The drug has no effect on the rate of the first turnover of decatenation but potently inhibits subsequent turnovers with an IC(50) of 6.5 +/- 1 microM for the Saccharomyces cerevisiae enzyme. This drug inhibits the ATPase activity of topoisomerase II by an unusual, mixed-type mechanism; the drug is not a competitive inhibitor of ATP, and even at saturating concentrations of drug, the enzyme continues to hydrolyze ATP, albeit at a reduced rate. Topoisomerase II that was specifically isolated in the drug-bound, closed-clamp form continues to hydrolyze ATP, indicating that the enzyme clamp does not need to re-open to bind and hydrolyze ATP. When rapid-quench ATPase assays were initiated by the addition of ATP, the drug had no effect on the sequential hydrolysis of either the first or second ATP. By contrast, when the drug was prebound, the enzyme hydrolyzed one labeled ATP at the uninhibited rate but did not hydrolyze a second ATP. These results are interpreted in terms of the catalytic mechanism for topoisomerase II and suggest that ICRF-193 interacts with the enzyme bound to one ADP. 相似文献

Extracellular nucleotides regulate critical liver functions via the activation of specific transmembrane receptors. The hepatic levels of extracellular nucleotides, and therefore the related downstream signaling cascades, are modulated by cell-surface enzymes called ectonucleotidases, including nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase-1 (NTPDase1/CD39), NTPDase2/CD39L1, and ecto-5'-nucleotidase/CD73. The goal of this study was to determine the molecular identity of the canalicular ecto-ATPase/ATPDase that we hypothesized to correspond to the recently cloned NTPDase8. Human and rat NTPDase8 cDNAs were cloned, and the genes were located on chromosome loci 9q34 and 3p13, respectively. The recombinant proteins, expressed in COS-7 and HEK293T cells, were biochemically characterized. NTPDase8 was also purified from rat liver by Triton X-100 solubilization, followed by DEAE, Affigel Blue, and concanavalin A chromatographies. Importantly, NTPDase8 was responsible for the major ectonucleotidase activity in liver. The ion requirement, apparent K(m) values, nucleotide hydrolysis profile, and preference as well as the resistance to azide were similar for recombinant NTPDase8s and both purified rat NTPDase8 and porcine canalicular ecto-ATPase/ATPDase. The partial NH(2)-terminal amino acid sequences of all NTPDase8s share high identity with the purified liver canalicular ecto-ATPase/ATPDase. Histochemical analysis showed high ectonucleotidase activities in bile canaliculi and large blood vessels of rat liver, in agreement with the immunolocalization of NTPDase1, 2, and 8 with antibodies developed for this study. No NTPDase3 expression could be detected in liver. In conclusion, NTPDase8 is the canalicular ecto-ATPase/ATPDase and is responsible for the main hepatic NTPDase activity. The canalicular localization of this enzyme suggests its involvement in the regulation of bile secretion and/or nucleoside salvage. 相似文献

Two Ca2+-dependent ATPases in rat liver plasma membrane. The previously purified (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase is not a Ca2+-pump but an ecto-ATPase 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
We have shown that the rat liver plasma membrane has at least two (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPases. One of them has the properties of a plasma membrane Ca2+-pump (Lin, S.-H. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 7850-7856); the other one, which we have purified (Lin, S.-H., and Fain, J.N. (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 3016-3020) and characterized (Lin, S.-H. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 10976-10980) has no established function. In this study we present evidence that the purified (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase is a plasma membrane ecto-ATPase. In hepatocytes in primary culture, we can detect Ca2+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase activities by addition of ATP to the intact cells. The external localization of the active site of the ATPase was confirmed by the observation that the Ca2+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase activities were the same for intact cells, saponin-treated cells, and cell homogenates. Less than 14% of total intracellular lactate dehydrogenase, a cytosolic enzyme, was released during a 30-min incubation of the hepatocytes with 2 mM ATP. This indicates that the hepatocytes maintained cytoplasmic membrane integrity during the 30-min incubation with ATP, and the Ca2+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase activity measured in the intact cell preparation was due to cell surface ATPase activity. The possibility that the ecto-Ca2+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase may be the same protein as the previously purified (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase was tested by comparing the properties of the ecto-ATPase with those of (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase. Both the ecto-ATPase and the (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase have broad nucleotide-hydrolyzing activity, i.e. they both hydrolyze ATP, GTP, UTP, CTP, ADP, and GDP to a similar extent. The effect of Ca2+ and Mg2+ on the ecto-ATPase activity is not additive indicating that both Ca2+- and Mg2+-ATPase activities are part of the same enzyme. The ecto-ATPase activity, like the (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase, is not sensitive to oligomycin, vanadate, N-ethylmaleimide and p-chloromercuribenzoate; and both the ecto-ATPase and purified (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase activities are insensitive to protease treatments. These properties indicate that the previously purified (Ca2+-Mg2+)-ATPase is an ecto-ATPase and may function in regulating the effect of ATP and ADP on hepatocyte Ca2+ mobilization (Charest, R., Blackmore, P.F., and Exton, J.H. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 15789-15794). 相似文献

In rat leukocytes, the total ATP-hydrolyzing activity was highest when determined in cells with an intact plasma membrane. The ecto-ATPase, exhibiting a Km for ATP of 0.3 mM, was inhibited 30% by sulfhydryl reagents, whereas dinitrophenol, oligomycin or Ca2+ had little or no effect. The ouabain inhibitable, Na, K-activated component amounted to 7% of the total ATPase activity in leukocytes. A major characteristic of the ecto-ATPase was its marked inhibition by micromolar concentrations of both phenothiazine tranquilizers and tricyclic antidepressants. 相似文献

Extracellular ATP and adenosine modulate synaptic transmission in hippocampal neurons. ATP released from neural cells is hydrolyzed to adenosine by a chain of ecto-nucleotidases. ATP diphosphohydrolase hydrolyses ATP and ADP nucleotides to AMP and 5'-nucleotidase hydrolyses AMP to adenosine. In this work, we investigated the ATPase and ADPase activities of ATP diphosphohydrolase in cultured hippocampal neurons. The apparent Michaelis-Menten constant (K(m)) was 233.9 +/- 14.6 and 221.8 +/- 63.6 microM, with a calculated maximal velocity (V(max), approximately) of 49.2 +/- 10.7 and 10.9 +/- 5.2 nmol Pi/mg protein/min for ATP and ADP, respectively. The horizontal straight line obtained in the competition plot indicated that only one active site is able to hydrolyze both substrates. Furthermore, we detected the presence of this enzyme using anti-CD39 antibody, which strongly stained the soma of pyramidal and bipolar neurons, but the neurites connecting the cell clusters were also immunopositive. This antibody recognized three bands with a molecular mass close to 95, 80 and 60kDa in immunoblotting analysis. The present results show, for the first time, the kinetic and immunocytochemical characterization of an ATP diphosphohydrolase in cultured hippocampal neurons. Probably, the widespread distribution of this enzyme on the surface of neurons in culture could reflect its functional importance in studies of synaptic plasticity hippocampal. 相似文献

In this work, we describe the ability of living cells of Entamoeba histolytica to hydrolyze extracellular ATP. In these intact parasites, whose viability was determined by motility and by the eosin method, ATP hydrolysis was low in the absence of any divalent metal (78 nmol P(i)/h/10(5) cells). Interestingly, in the presence of 5 mM MgCl(2) an ecto-ATPase activity of 300 nmol P(i)/h/10(5) cells was observed. The addition of MgCl(2) to the extracellular medium increased the ecto-ATPase activity in a dose-dependent manner. At 5 mM ATP, half-maximal stimulation of ATP hydrolysis was obtained with 1.23 mM MgCl(2). Both activities were linear with cell density and with time for at least 1 h. The ecto-ATPase activity was also stimulated by MnCl(2) and CaCl(2) but not by SrCl(2), ZnCl(2), or FeCl(3). In fact, FeCl(3) inhibited both Mg(2+)-dependent and Mg(2+)-independent ecto-ATPase activities. The Mg(2+)-independent ATPase activity was unaffected by pH in the range between 6.4 and 8. 4, in which the cells were viable. However, the Mg(2+)-dependent ATPase activity was enhanced concomitantly with the increase in pH. In order to discard the possibility that the ATP hydrolysis observed was due to phosphatase or 5'-nucleotidase activities, several inhibitors for these enzymes were tested. Sodium orthovanadate, sodium fluoride, levamizole, and ammonium molybdate had no effect on the ATPase activities. In the absence of Mg(2+) (basal activity), the apparent K(m) for ATP(4-) was 0.053 +/- 0.008 mM, whereas at saturating MgCl(2) concentrations, the corresponding apparent K(m) for Mg-ATP(2-) for Mg(2+)-dependent ecto-ATPase activity (difference between total and basal ecto-ATPase activity) was 0.503 mM +/- 0.062. Both ecto-ATPase activities were highly specific for ATP and were also able to hydrolyze ADP less efficiently. To identify the observed hydrolytic activities as those of an ecto-ATPase, we used suramin, a competitive antagonist of P(2) purinoreceptors and an inhibitor of some ecto-ATPases, as well as the impermeant agent 4'-4'-diisothiocyanostylbenzene-2'-2'-disulfonic acid. These two reagents inhibited the Mg(2+)-independent and the Mg(2+)-dependent ATPase activities to different extents, and the inhibition by both agents was prevented by ATP. A comparison among the ecto-ATPase activities of three amoeba species showed that the noninvasive E. histolytica and the free-living E. moshkovskii were less efficient than the pathogenic E. histolytica in hydrolyzing ATP. As E. histolytica is known to have a galactose-specific lectin on its surface, which is related to the pathogenesis of amebiasis, galactose was tested for an effect on ecto-ATPase activities. It stimulated the Mg(2+)-dependent ecto-ATPase but not the Mg(2+)-independent ATPase activity. 相似文献

The ATPase from the inner mitochondrial membrane is known to be inhibited by modification of one of the three catalytic subunits with N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) or 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole. An experimental approach described in this paper shows that most of the residual ATPase activity observed after the usual DCCD or 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole modification is due to the presence of unmodified enzyme, although the large fraction of modified enzyme retains a weak catalytic activity. This weak catalytic activity can be stimulated by methanol or dimethyl sulfoxide. When the modified enzymes are exposed to Mg2+ and [3H]ATP, about equal amounts of [3H]ATP and [3H]ADP appear at catalytic sites. The turnover rate for these enzymes is less than 1/1000 that of the native enzyme when it is calculated from the rate at which the enzyme becomes labeled at the catalytic sites with [3H]ATP and [3H]ADP during steady state hydrolysis. In addition, a higher ATP concentration is required for steady state turnover and, after ATP binding, the principal rate-limiting step is the capacity of the derivatized enzyme to undergo the binding changes necessary for the release of ADP and Pi. When the modified enzymes are not hydrolyzing ATP, they convert to form(s) that show a distinct lag in the replacement of bound nucleotides at catalytic sites. The replacement of bound nucleotides is still promoted by MgATP, even though the enzymes have been converted to sluggish forms. Contrary to a recent suggestion based on the study of the DCCD-modified enzyme (Soong, K.S., and Wang, J.H. (1984) Biochemistry 23, 136-141), our data provide evidence for the existence of catalytic cooperatively between at least two alternating sites in the modified enzyme and are consistent with continued sequential participation of all three sites. 相似文献

The major ectonucleoside triphosphate phosphohydrolase in the chicken gizzard smooth muscle membranes is an ecto-ATPase, an integral membrane glycoprotein belonging to the E-ATPase (or E-NTPDase) family. The gizzard ecto-ATPase is distinguished by its unusual kinetic properties, temperature dependence, and response to a variety of modulators. Compounds that promote oligomerization of the enzyme protein, i.e., concanavalin A, chemical cross-linking agent, and eosin iodoacetamide, increase its activity. Compounds that inhibit some ion-motive ATPases, e.g., sulfhydryl reagents, xanthene derivatives, NBD-halides, and suramin, also inhibit the gizzard ecto-ATPase, but not another E-ATPase, the chicken liver ecto-ATP-diphosphohydrolase, which contains the same conserved regions as the ecto-ATPase. Furthermore, inhibition of the gizzard ecto-ATPase by these compounds as well as detergents is not prevented by preincubation of the membranes with the substrate, ATP, indicating that their interaction with the enzyme occurs at a locus other than the catalytic site. On the other hand, the inhibitory effect of these compounds, except suramin, is abolished or reduced if the membranes are preincubated with concanavalin A. It is concluded that these structurally unrelated modulators exert their effect by interfering with the oligomerization of the ecto-ATPase protein. Our findings suggest that, under physiological conditions, the gizzard smooth muscle ecto-ATPase may exhibit a range of activities determined by membrane events that affect the status of oligomerization of the enzyme. 相似文献

Transglutaminases (TGs) are calcium-dependent enzymes that catalyze the transamidation of glutamine residues to form intermolecular isopeptide bonds. Nine distinct TGs have been identified in mammals, and three of them (types 2, 3, and 5) are regulated by GTP/ATP and are able to hydrolyze GTP, working as bifunctional enzymes. We have isolated a cDNA clone encoding a TG from a cDNA library prepared from the blastula stage of sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus (PlTG). The cDNA sequence has an open reading frame coding for a protein of 738 amino acids, including a Cys active site and two other residues critical for catalytic activity, His and Asp. We have studied its expression pattern by in situ hybridization and have also demonstrated that the in vitro expressed PlTG had GTP- and ATP-hydrolyzing activity; moreover, GTP inhibited the transamidating activity of this enzyme as it does that of human TG2, TG3, and TG5. 相似文献

Properties of H+-translocating adenosine triphosphatase in vacuolar membranes of SAccharomyces cerevisiae 总被引:23,自引:0,他引:23
The properties of Mg2+-ATPase in the vacuole of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were studied, using purified intact vacuoles and right-side-out vacuolar membrane vesicles prepared by the method of Y. Ohsumi and Y. Anraku ((1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 2079). The enzyme requires Mg2+ ion but not Ca2+ in. Cu2+ and Zn2+ ions inhibit the activity. The optimal pH is at pH 7.0. The enzyme hydrolyzes ATP, GTP, UTP, and CTP in this order and the Km value for ATP was determined as 0.2 mM. It does not hydrolyze ADP, adenosyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate, or p-nitrophenyl phosphate. ADP does not inhibit hydrolysis of ATP by the enzyme. The activities of intact vacuoles and of vacuolar membrane vesicles were stimulated 3- and 1.5-fold, respectively, by the protonophore uncoupler 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzilidenemalononitrile and the K+/H+ antiporter ionophore nigericin. Sodium azide at a concentration exerting an uncoupler effect also stimulated the activity. The activity was sensitive to the ATPase inhibitor N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, but not to sodium vanadate. The ATP-dependent formation of an electrochemical potential difference of protons, measured by the flow-dialysis method, was determined as 180 mV, with contribution of 1.7 pH units, interior acid, and of a membrane potential of 75 mV. It is concluded that the Mg2+-ATPase of vacuoles is a new marker enzyme for these organelles and is a N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-sensitive, H+-translocating ATPase whose catalytic site is exposed to the cytoplasm. 相似文献

This work describes the ability of living Trichomonas vaginalis to hydrolyze extracellular ATP (164.0 +/- 13.9 nmol Pi/h x 10(7) cells). This ecto-enzyme was stimulated by ZnCl2, CaCl2 and MgCl2, was insensitive to several ATPase and phosphatase inhibitors and was able to hydrolyze several nucleotides besides ATP. The activity was linear with cell density and with time for at least 60 min. The optimum pH for the T. vaginalis ecto-ATPase lies in the alkaline range. D-galactose, known to be involved in adhesion of T. vaginalis to host cells, stimulated this enzyme by more than 90%. A comparison between two strains of T. vaginalis showed that the ecto-ATPase activity of a fresh isolate was twice as much as that of a strain axenically maintained in culture, through daily passages, for several years. The results suggest a possible role for this ecto-ATPase in adhesion of T. vaginalis to host cells and in its pathogenicity. 相似文献

Fluorescence titrations of the alpha(3)(betaG(156)C/Y(345)W)(3)gamma, alpha(3)(betaE(199)V/Y(345)W)(3)gamma, and alpha(3)(betaY(345)W)(3)gamma subcomplexes of TF(1) with nucleotides show that the betaG(156)C substitution substantially lowers the affinity of catalytic sites for ATP and ADP with or without Mg(2+), whereas the betaE(199)V substitution increases the affinity of catalytic sites for nucleotides. Whereas the alpha(3)(betaG(156)C)(3)gamma and alpha(3)(betaE(199)V)(3)gamma subcomplexes hydrolyze 2 mM ATP at 2% and 0.7%, respectively, of the rate exhibited by the wild-type enzyme, the alpha(3)(betaG(156)C/E(199)V)(3)gamma hydrolyzes 2 mM ATP at 9% the rate exhibited by the wild-type enzyme. The alpha(3)(betaG(156)C)(3)gamma, alpha(3)(betaG(156)C/E(199)V)(3)gamma, and alpha(3)(betaG(156)C/E(199)V/Y(345)W)(3)gamma subcomplexes resist entrapment of inhibitory MgADP in a catalytic site during turnover. Product [(3)H]ADP remains tightly bound to a single catalytic site when the wild-type, betaE(199)V, betaY(345)W, and betaE(199)V/Y(345)W subcomplexes hydrolyze substoichiometric [(3)H]ATP, whereas it is not retained by the betaG(156)C and betaG(156)C/Y(345)W subcomplexes. Less firmly bound, product [(3)H]ADP is retained when the betaG(156)C/E(199)V and betaG(156)C/E(199)V/Y(345)W mutants hydrolyze substoichiometric [(3)H]ATP. The Lineweaver-Burk plot obtained with the betaG(156)C mutant is curved downward in a manner indicating that its catalytic sites act independently during ATP hydrolysis. In contrast, the betaG(156)C/E(199)V and betaG(156)C/E(199)V/Y(345)W mutants hydrolyze ATP with linear Lineweaver-Burk plots, indicating cooperative trisite catalysis. It appears that the betaG(156)C substitution destabilizes the closed conformation of a catalytic site hydrolyzing MgATP in a manner that allows release of products in the absence of catalytic site cooperativity. Insertion of the betaE(199)V substitution into the betaG(156)C mutant restores cooperativity by restricting opening of the catalytic site hydrolyzing MgATP for product release until an open catalytic site binds MgATP. 相似文献

Extracellular ATP stimulates transmembrane ion fluxes in the mouse macrophage cell line J774. In the presence of Mg2+, nonhydrolyzable ATP analogs and other purine and pyrimidine nucleotides do not elicit this response, suggesting the presence of a specific receptor for ATP on the macrophage plasma membrane. One candidate for such a receptor is the ecto-ATPase expressed on these cells. We, therefore, investigated the role of this enzyme in ATP-induced 86Rb+ efflux in J774 cells. The ecto-ATPase had a broad nucleotide specificity and did not hydrolyze extracellular ATP in the absence of divalent cations. 86Rb+ efflux was not blocked by inhibition of the ecto-ATPase and did not require Ca2+ or Mg2+. In fact, ATP-stimulated 86Rb+ efflux was inhibited by Mg2+ and correlated with the availability of ATP4- in the medium. In the absence of divalent cations, the slowly hydrolyzable ATP analogs adenosine 5'-(beta, gamma-imido)triphosphate (AMP-PNP) and adenosine 5'-O-(3-thio)triphosphate (ATP-gamma-S) also stimulated 86Rb+ efflux, albeit at higher concentrations than that required for ATP4-. Exposure of J774 cells to 10 mM ATP for 45 min caused death of 95% of cells. By this means we selected variant J774 cells that did not exhibit 86Rb+ efflux in the presence of extracellular ATP but retained ecto-ATPase activity. These results show that the ecto-ATPase of J774 cells does not mediate the effects of ATP on these cells; that ATP4- and not MgATP2- promotes 86Rb+ efflux from these cells; and that hydrolysis of ATP is not required to effect this change in membrane permeability. These findings suggest that J774 cells possess a plasma membrane receptor which binds ATP4-, AMP-PNP, and ATP-gamma-S, and that the ecto-ATPase limits the effects of ATP on these cells by hydrolyzing Mg-ATP2-. 相似文献

The plasma membrane of cells contains enzymes whose active sites face the external medium rather than the cytoplasm. The activities of these enzymes, referred to as ectoenzymes, can be measured using living cells. In this work we describe the ability of living promastigotes of Leishmania amazonensis to hydrolyze extracellular ATP. In these intact parasites whose viability was assessed before and after the reactions by motility and by trypan blue dye exclusion, there was a low level of ATP hydrolysis in the absence of any divalent metal (5.39 +/- 0.71 nmol P(i)/h x 10(7) cells). The ATP hydrolysis was stimulated by MgCl(2) and the Mg-dependent ecto-ATPase activity was 30.75 +/- 2.64 nmol P(i)/h x 10(7) cells. The Mg-dependent ecto-ATPase activity was linear with cell density and with time for at least 60 min. The addition of MgCl(2) to extracellular medium increased the ecto-ATPase activity in a dose-dependent manner. At 5 mM ATP, half-maximal stimulation of ATP hydrolysis was obtained with 1.21 mM MgCl(2). This stimulatory activity was also observed when MgCl(2) was replaced by MnCl(2), but not by CaCl(2) or SrCl(2). The apparent K(m) for Mg-ATP(2-) was 0.98 mM and free Mg(2+) did not increase the ecto-ATPase activity. In the pH range from 6.8 to 8.4, in which the cells were viable, the acid phosphatase activity decreased, while the Mg(2+)-dependent ATPase activity increased. This ecto-ATPase activity was insensitive to inhibitors of other ATPase and phosphatase activities, such as oligomycin, sodium azide, bafilomycin A(1), ouabain, furosemide, vanadate, molybdate, sodium fluoride, tartrate, and levamizole. To confirm that this Mg-dependent ATPase was an ecto-ATPase, we used an impermeant inhibitor, 4,4'-diisothiocyanostylbene 2',2'-disulfonic acid as well as suramin, an antagonist of P(2) purinoreceptors and inhibitor of some ecto-ATPases. These two reagents inhibited the Mg(2+)-dependent ATPase activity in a dose-dependent manner. A comparison between the Mg(2+)-dependent ATPase activity of virulent and avirulent promastigotes showed that avirulent promastigotes were less efficient than the virulent promastigotes in hydrolyzing ATP. 相似文献
