The histochemical activities of myofibrillar adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) and alpha glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (alpha-GPD) were studied in intrafusal muscle fibres of rat fast and slow muscles. The ATPase reaction was carried out after the three standard acid preincubations. The cold K2-EDTA preincubated ATPase reaction product was similar to that seen following the regular or alkali-preincubated ATPase reaction, except that the intermediate bag fibres exhibited much higher activity after cold K2-EDTA preincubation. Following either acetic acid solution or cold and room temperature K2-EDTA-preincubation, followed by the ATPase reaction, chain fibres of the fast muscles vastus lateralis and extensor digitorum longus exhibited a very low amount of reaction product as compared with those of the slow soleus. Veronal acetate and K2-EDTA preincubations (and equally preincubation in acetic acid solution) resulted in acid stable ATPase activity along the entire length of the typical bag fibres but only in the polar regions of the intermediate bag fibres. On the basis of differing alpha-GPD reaction, two sub populations of nuclear chain fibres were discovered in one spindle. It is a matter of conjecture, to what extent the histochemical differences of intrafusal fibres from fast and slow muscles reflects functional distinctions in the response to stretch of muscle spindles from fast and slow muscles. 相似文献

The properties and localization of ATPase system in nuclei of skeletal muscle of normal rabbit and of those with experimental muscle dystrophy were studied by electron cytochemistry. The product of cytochemical reaction of ATP hydrolysis, which is a marker of ATPase activity localization in nuclear ultrastructures, was detected on the nuclear membrane, in chromatin and in the nucleolus, ATPase activity in the nuclei was detected in the presence of both, Mg2+ and Ca2+. Addition to the incubation medium, originally containing Mg2+, Na+ and K+, resulted in an increased formation of the product reaction in all the nuclear ultrastructures in both in the norm and under experimental muscle dystrophy. However, specific inhibitor of Mg2+, Na+, K+-ATPase--ouabain--suggests the absence in the nuclei of skeletal muscles of rabbit of transport ATPase working in the "Na-pump" system. The results of experiments with a specific complex of Ca2+--EGTA allow to suppose that Mg2+, Ca2+-ATPase of skeletal muscle nuclei of normal rabbits is localized in the nucleoplasm, whereas Mg2+-ATPase is found on the nuclear membrane. Using EGTA we failed to detected the localization of Mg2+, Ca2+-ATPase in nuclear ultrastructures upon experimental muscular dystrophy. 相似文献

The cytochemical localization of ATPase in differentiating and mature phloem cells of Pisum sativum L. has been studied using a lead precipitation technique. Phloem transfer cells at early stages of differentiation exhibit strong enzyme activity in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and some reaction product is deposited on the vacuolar and plasma membranes. As the phloem transfer cells mature and develop their characteristic wall structures, strong enzyme activity can be observed in association with the plasma membranes and nuclear envelopes. Mature phloem transfer cells with elaborate cell-wall ingrowths show ATPase activity evenly distributed on plasma-membrane surfaces. Differentiating sieve elements show little or no enzyme activity. When sieve elements are fully mature they have reaction product in the parietal and stacked cisternae of the ER. There is no ATPase activity associated with P-protein at any stage of sieve-element differentiation or with the sieve-element plasma membranes. It is suggested that the intensive ATPase activity on the plasma membranes of the transfer cells is evidence for a transport system involved in the active movement of photosynthetic products through these cells.Key to labeling in the figures ER

A method is described for the demonstration of ATPase, Cholinesterase and acid phosphatase activity in thin sections of mosquito larvae fixed in 1:9 v/v mixture of acetone and 10% neutral buffered formalin and embedded in hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA). ATPase activity, observed as a black brown precipitate, was found in the brush border of gastric caeca and microvilli of columnar epithelial cells of the hind gut and Malpighian tubules. Some basal cell membrane activity could also be seen. Cholinesterase activity was found in thoracic and abdominal ganglia. The reaction product had a fine particulate appearance and predominated in the axonal processes. Azo dye reaction product indicative of acid phosphatase activity was found in the epithelial cells of the midgut and gastric caeca. Lysosomal and extra-lysosomal activity was observed, the larger secondary lysosomal sources predominating in the perinuclear region. The fixation regime and embedding procedure outlined has enabled a sub-cellular localization of enzymatic activities which is superior to that obtainable with conventional procedures. 相似文献

The specificity of the histochemical localization of the calcium activated adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) at pH 7.4 was studied using a calcium-citro-phosphate technique. The latter involves the splitting of ATP by ATPase producing phosphate ions which then react with calcium and citrate to form an insoluble reaction product. This reaction product was detected by both light and electron microscopy. Light microscopic examination showed a darkly stained continuous reticular pattern of reaction product which surrounded individual myofibrils. This reticular pattern of reaction product was distinctly dissimilar to that found when the histochemical reactions for mitochondrial or myofibrillar ATPase were performed. Ultrastructural investigations demonstrated the presence of discrete foci of electron dense reaction product in close association with the membranes of the SR in striated muscle fibres. Only occasional flecks were seen in the vicinity of mitochondria or myofilaments. The possibility is considered that the reticular pattern of staining achieved by the calcium-citro-phosphate technique may reflect the distribution of the "extra ATPase" of the SR, an enzyme implicated in the process of calcium uptake and muscle relaxation. 相似文献

The RecA protein of Escherichia coli performs a number of ATP-dependent, in vitro reactions and is a DNA-dependent ATPase. Small oligodeoxyribonucleotides were used as DNA cofactors in a kinetic analysis of the ATPase reaction. Polymers of deoxythymidilic acid as well as oligonucleotides of mixed base composition stimulated the RecA ATPase activity in a length-dependent fashion. Both the initial rate and the extent of the reaction were affected by chain length. Full activity was seen with chain lengths > or = 30 nt. Partial activity was seen with chain lengths of 15-30 nt. The lower activity of shorter oligonucleotides was not simply due to a reduced affinity for DNA, since effects of chain length on KmATP and the Hill coefficient for ATP hydrolysis were also observed. The results also suggested that single-stranded DNA secondary structure frequently affects the ATPase activity of RecA protein with oligodeoxyribonucleotides. 相似文献

Standard lead precipitation procedures have been used to examine the localization of ATPase activity during cytomixis in pollen mother cells of Lilium davidii var. willmottiae (Wilson) Roffill. Before cytomixis, cells at this stage of development show ATPase activity on plasma membrane, in the endoplasmic reticulum, dictyosomes, plastids, plasmodesmata, and in part of the groundplasm; however, there is no ATPase activity on the chromatin and nucleolus. During cytomixis, the chromatin substance begin to transfer from one cell to an adjacent cell, reaction product indicating ATPase activity is observed associated with the chromatin and nucleolus. ATPase activity is also found with the cistenae of both endoplasmic reticulum and dictyosomes, and some plastids. There is no deposition of ATPase reaction product associated with the plasm membrane and intercellular spaces. After cytomixis, the chromatin is little or no deposition of enzyme reaction product. ATPase activity, however, is consistenlly found within the intercellular space and on the plasm membrane, and also occur in the endoplasmic reticulum, dictyosome and plastid. The presence or absence of ATPase activity in the cell structure of pollen mother cells before, during or after eytomixis is discussed in relation to the active uptake or export of water for short-distance transport. It is also suggested that the intensive ATPase activity in the nucleus during cytomixis of pollen mother cells is evidence for a transport system involved in the active movement of the intercellular migrating ebromatin substance. 相似文献

The distribution of Mg++-activated ATPase was determined with light and electron microscopy in normal and degenerating seminferous tubules. In the normal animals ATPase was localized in the interface between spermatids and Sertoli cells, in association with the cytoplasmic filaments contained within Sertoli cell processes, and in the lymphatic endothelium. ATPase activity increased in degenerating tubules as observed by light microscopy. Electron microscopic investigations of the degenerating tubules which contained only spermatogonia and Sertoli cells revealed reaction product on the outer surface of the Sertoli cell processes and within the interface between adjacent Sertoli cells. Reactaction product was also observed in the Sertoli cell processes between the cytoplasmic filaments and the cell membrane. Where filaments were absent in Sertoli cell processes, no reaction product was observed. These electron microscopic studies indicate that the increase in ATPase activity in testicular degeneration is probably a relative increase due to a loss of the germinal elements of the tubular epithelium and subsequent apposition of the Sertoli cell processes. We speculate that the ATPase activity localized within the Sertoli cell processes may be involved in providing an energy source for filament motility. 相似文献

In the ATP-dependent carboxylation of biotin that is catalyzed by most biotin-dependent carboxylases, a fundamental mechanistic question is whether the ATP activates bicarbonate (via the formation of carboxyphosphate as an intermediate) or whether the ATP activates biotin (via the formation of O-phosphobiotin). We have resorted to three mechanistic tests using the biotin carboxylase subunit of acetyl-CoA carboxylase from Escherichia coli: positional isotope exchange, intermediate trapping, and 18O tracer experiments on the ATPase activity. First, no catalysis of positional isotope exchange in adenosine 5'-[( alpha, beta-18O, beta, beta-18O2]triphosphate) was observed when either biotin or bicarbonate was absent, nor was any exchange seen in the presence of both N-1-methylbiotin and bicarbonate. Second, the putative carboxyphosphate intermediate could not be trapped as its trimethyl ester, under conditions of incubation and analysis where the authentic triester was shown to be adequately stable. In the third test, however, we showed that the ATPase activity of biotin carboxylase that is seen in the absence of biotin, an activity that is known to parallel the normal carboxylase reaction when biotin is present, occurs with the transfer of an 18O label directly from [18O]bicarbonate into the product Pi. This result suggests that the bicarbonate-dependent biotin-independent ATPase reaction catalyzed by biotin carboxylase goes via carboxyphosphate and that the carboxylation of biotin itself may proceed analogously. 相似文献

Timed pregnancies were obtained in Sprague-Dawley rats, and cardiac tissues from embryos of days 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and from newborn rats were used for the cytochemical localization of ATPase activity utilizing a lead phosphate precipitation procedure. Following incubation with ATP as the substrate, granular deposits of reaction product are discernible on the cell membranes of the embryonic myocardium. There is a noticeable decrease in the intensity of reaction product as visualized in the electron micrographs from the 10th day of gestation to the 14th day. No granular reaction product is recognizable in myofibrils, mitochondria or other organelles in the cytoplasm. It appears that there is a selective deposition of the reaction product on the cell membranes or structures derived from it. The intense ATPase activity seen on 10th and 11th days seems to be correlated with the initial appearance of myofilaments and fibrils in the myocardial cells. 相似文献

Ultracytochemical localization of ATPase activity was carried out using a lead phosphate precipitation technique in the nucellar cells of wheat during degeneration. ATPase was only localized on the plasma membranes of nueellar cells at the. early degenerative stage, then decreased and disappeared at the mid-degenerative stage. Meantime it was also observed in the nuclear chromatin and some cytoplasmic organelles. ATPase activity was only observed in the nuclear chromatin in the extremely degenerated nucellar cells. Two patterns of unclear degeneration was found in the degenerated nucellar cells. A lot of small fragments with ATPase from the degenerated nuclei moved toward the embryo sac. It is suggested that the change of ATPase activity on the plasma membranes is related to the physiological change of nucellar cells, and that in the nuclear chromatin is associated with the stages movement of chromatin during the process of nucellar cells degeneration. 相似文献

Changes in ATPase and SDH reactions of the rat extrafusal and intrafusal muscle fibres after preincubations at different pH 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Summary The dependence of adenosine-triphosphatase (ATPase) and succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) histochemical reactions on the pH of the preincubation medium was studied in serial cross sections of 1- to 6-month-old rat extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and soleus (SOL) muscles.The use of a wide spectrum of pH values confirmed the previous results showing that: (1) according to their ATPase and SDH reactions 3 types of extrafusal muscle fibres, i.e., fast-twitch glycolytic (FG), fast-twitch oxidative-glycolytic (FOG) and slow-twitch oxidative (SO) and 3 types of intrafusal muscle fibres, i.e. typical and intermediate nuclear bag fibres and nuclear chain fibres were observed; (2) only acid preincubation (pH 4.35) is necessary to demonstrate the reversal of the ATPase reaction; while (3) alkali preincubation (pH 10.4) does not provide any new important information as compared with ATPase without preincubation. Furthermore, it was shown that: (4) fast-twitch muscle fibres exhibited high ATPase activity on preincubations at pH 4.9 to 10.4, slow-twitch fibres had very high ATPase activity on preincubation at pH 4.3 and 4.5; (5) after preincubation at pH 4.5 two types of FOG fibres were observed, differing in their ATPase activity; (6) in both muscles there were fibres with intermediate ATPase activity both after acid and/or alkali preincubations; (7) the intrafusal muscle fibres exhibited some specific characteristics when compared with extrafusal fibres.In contrast to the ATPase reactions, SDH activity was decreased equally, in both extra- and intrafusal fibres, with increasing acidity and alkality of the preincubation medium. 相似文献

Immunoelectron microscopic demonstration of estrogen receptors in osteogenic cells of Japanese quail
The localization of estrogen receptors (ERs) in osteogenic cells was immunoelectron microscopically examined in the femurs of female and estrogen-treated male Japanese quail. An electron dense reaction product showing ER localization was observed in the nuclei of osteoblasts and immature osteocytes in the medullary bone of the female quail. However, reaction product was not seen in the osteoclasts. On the endosteal bone surface of male quail, nuclear reaction product was detected in bone lining cells. After 24 h of estrogen treatment, reaction product was observed in the nuclei of preosteoblasts on the endosteal bone surface. After 48 h, the medullary bone partly appeared along the endosteal surface. Nuclear reaction product was seen in osteoblasts on the medullary bone surface. 相似文献

The dependence of adenosine-triphosphatase (ATPase) and succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) histochemical reactions on the pH of the preincubation medium was studied in serial cross sections of 1- to 6-month-old rat extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and soleus (SOL) muscles. The use of a wide spectrum of pH values confirmed the previous results showing that: (1) according to their ATPase and SDH reactions 3 types of extrafusal muscle fibres, i.e., fast-twitch glycolytic (FG), fast-twitch oxidative-glycolytic (FOG) and slow-twitch oxidative (SO) and 3 types of intrafusal muscle fibres, i.e. typical and intermediate nuclear bag fibres and nuclear chain fibres were observed; (2) only acid preincubation (pH 4.35) is necessary to demonstrate the reversal of the ATPase reaction; while (3) alkali preincubation (pH 10.4) does not provide any new important information as compared with ATPase without preincubation. Furthermore, it was shown that: (4) fast-twitch muscle fibres exhibited high ATPase activity on preincubations at pH 4.9 to 10.4, slow-twitch fibres had very high ATPase activity on preincubation at pH 4.3 and 4.5; (5) after preincubation at pH 4.5 two types of FOG fibres were observed, differing in their ATPase activity; (6) in both muscles there were fibres with intermediate ATPase activity both after acid and/or alkali preincubations; (7) the intrafusal muscle fibres exhibited some specific characteristics when compared with extrafusal fibres. In contrast to the ATPase reactions, SDH activity was decreased equally, in both extra- and intrafusal fibres, with increasing acidity and alkality of the preincubation medium. 相似文献

百合花粉母细胞间细胞融合期间腺苷三磷酸酶活性的细胞化学定位及其与染色质胞间转移的关系 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Periodate-oxidized ATP (o-ATP) was prepared as an affinity label of nucleotide binding sites on the chloroform-released ox heart mitochondrial ATPase. In the presence of MgSO4, o-ATP is a substrate for the ATPase. It can act as a reversible, competitive inhibitor of ATPase activity and can also induce an irreversible inhibition of ATPase activity. In parallel with the irreversible inhibition, covalent incorporation of [3H]o-ATP occurs. ATPase has about 1.05 mol of o-ATP bound per mol of ATPase when the enzyme is 50% inhibited. Most of the covalently bound o-ATP is associated with the alpha and beta subunits and is equally distributed between them. The incorporation of o-ATP into the ATPase is reduced, and the irreversible inhibition induced by o-ATP can be prevented totally by MgADP, MgATP, EDTA/ATP, or EDTA. The location, number, and the functional significance of the o-ATP binding sites are discussed. o-ATP can decompose to form an adenosine-containing compound and the tripolyphosphate anion in a beta-elimination reaction mechanism. The structures of the adenine-containing compound and its borohydride reduction product were determined. The adenine-containing elimination product inhibited the mitochondrial ATPase activity at a rate greater than that observed with o-ATP. The nature and mechanism of the inhibition of ATPase activity exerted by o-ATP and the elimination product were examined. The significance of the beta-elimination reaction to the use of periodate-oxidized nucleotides as affinity labels of nucleotide binding sites on other proteins is discussed. 相似文献

Summary HeLa cells in a monolayer culture were synchronized to S, G2 and mitotic phases by use of excess (2.5 mM) deoxythymidine double-block technique. The localizations of Ca++-activated adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) at different phases of the cell cycle were studied using light and electron-microscopic histochemical techniques, and microphotometric comparisons of the densities of reaction products. Enzyme reaction product was always localized in the endoplasmic reticulum, nuclear membrane, mitochondria and Golgi apparatus, but there were qualitative and quantitative differences related to the phases of the cell cycle. In S phase the activity was mainly concentrated in a perinuclear area of the cytoplasm whereas in G2 and mitosis the activity was scattered throughout the cell. The total activity per cell was maximal in G2, was less in S phase and least in mitosis. Activity in the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum was distinctly less in mitosis than in other phases of the cell cycle. The mitochondrial ATPase differed from the ATPase at other sites in ion dependence and sensitivity to oligomycin. The results suggest that there may be several distinct ATPases in proliferating cells. 相似文献

The Pk-rec gene, encoding a RecA/RAD51 homologue from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcussp. KOD1, was expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant Pk-REC was purified to homogeneity and was shown to be in a dimeric form. A striking property of the purified recombinant Pk-REC was the unusual DNase activity on both single- and double-stranded DNAs along with the ATPase activity. The reaction product of this DNase activity was mononucleotides. The optimum temperature and pH for the DNase activity were 60 degrees C and 8-8.5, respectively. In addition, the metal ion requirement for DNase activity was different from that for the ATPase activity. The protein exhibited no DNase activity in the presence of Zn2+ion, which was one of the most preferable divalent cations for ATPase activity. Another unique characteristic of the recombinant protein was that the reaction product of ATPase activity was AMP instead of ADP.Pk-REC may represent a common prototype of the RecA family proteins with high RecA-like activity. 相似文献
