The partially purified soluble guanylate cyclase (GTP pyrophosphatelyase(cyclizing), EC 4.6.1.2) from human caudate nucleus is stimulated from 2 to 4-fold by metal chelating agents. EDTA (K 1/2 - 4.8 microM) is more potent than CDTA (K 1/2 = 13.2 microM) or EGTA (K 1/2 = 21.8 microM) at stimulating activity. Stimulation by chelating agents is apparently not due to removal of inhibitory divalent cations which contaminate the enzyme or reaction mixture. EDTA increases guanylate cyclase activity in part by increasing the affinity of the enzyme for the substrate (MgGTP) 10-fold. Dopamine inhibits partially purified guanylate cyclase in the presence or absence of EDTA. Dopamine increases the Ka of guanylate cyclase for the activator, free Mn2+, more than 50-fold, from 3 to 150 microM. 相似文献

A light-sensitive derivative, 2,3-dimethyl-8-[(4-azidophenyl)methoxy]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (DAZIP), of the drug 3-(cyanomethyl)-2-methyl-8-(phenylmethoxy)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine (SCH 28080) has been synthesized and shown to be a K+-competitive inhibitor of gastric H+,K+-ATPase in the dark. The apparent dissociation constants calculated for DAZIP at pH 6.4 and 7.4 were 1.8 +/- 0.2 and 4.7 +/- 1.2 microM, respectively. Inhibition required binding of DAZIP to a luminal-facing site on the enzyme. Irradiation in the presence of DAZIP and 2 mM Mg2+ resulted in irreversible loss of ATPase activity that was more than 2-fold greater at pH 6.4 than at pH 7.4, showing the enhanced efficiency of covalent incorporation at the lower pH. Further photolyses were conducted at pH 6.4 in the presence of either 1,2-diaminocyclohexane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (CDTA), ATP and CDTA, or MgATP. The specificity of light-dependent, covalent insertion of DAZIP for the site of reversible inhibition was shown both by protection against photoinactivation given by K+ (the competing ligand) and by the observation that the amount of K+-protectable photoinactivation approached a maximum limiting value as a function of DAZIP concentration. The effectiveness of K+ in protecting against photoinactivation was 100-fold greater in the presence of ATP and CDTA than in the presence of either Mg2+ or CDTA and suggests the formation of a ternary complex of the apoenzyme with ATP and tightly bound K+. The dissociation constant for DAZIP (2 microM) calculated from photolyses in the presence of MgATP without added K+ agreed with the kinetic experiments and suggests that DAZIP inhibits turnover by binding to E.MgATP. 相似文献

Trypanosoma cruzi is an obligatory intracellular protozoan parasite that causes Chagas' disease in humans. Although a fair amount is known about the biochemistry of certain trypanosomes, very little is known about the enzymic complement of synthesis and processing of glycoproteins and/or functions of the subcellular organelles in this parasite. There have been very few reports on the presence of acid and neutral hydrolases in Trypanosoma cruzi. Here we report the first purification and characterization of a neutral mannosidase from the epimastigote stage of Trypanosoma cruzi. The neutral mannosidase was purified nearly 800-fold with an 8% recovery to apparent homogeneity from a CHAPS extract of epimastigotes by the following procedures: (1) metal affinity chromatography on Co+2-Sepharose, (2) anion exchange, and (3) hydroxylapatite. The purified enzyme has a native molecular weight of 150-160 kDa and is apparently composed of two subunits of 76 kDa. The purified enzyme exhibits a broad pH profile with a maximum at pH 5.9-6.3. It is inhibited by swainsonine (Ki, 0.1 microM), D-mannono-delta-lactam (Ki, 20 microM), kifunensine (Ki, 60 microM) but not significantly by deoxymannojirimycin. The enzyme is activated by Co2+and Ni2+and strongly inhibited by EDTA and Fe2+.The purified enzyme is active against p-nitrophenyl alpha-D-mannoside (km = 87 microM). High-mannose Man9GlcNAc substrate was hydrolyzed by the purified enzyme to Man7GlcNAc at pH 6.1. The purified enzyme does not show activity against alpha1,3- or alpha1,6-linked mannose residues. Antibodies against the recently purified lysosomal alpha-mannosidase from T.cruzi did not react with the neutral mannosidase reported here. 相似文献

1. Adenylyl imidodiphosphate (AMPPNP) binds to (K+ + H+)-ATPase from pig gastric mucosa with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 50 microM for the AMPPNP-enzyme complex. 2. Monovalent cations reduce the amount of AMPPNP bound in the following order of effectiveness Tl+ greater than K+ greater than Rb+ greater than Cs+ greater than Na+, Li+, choline+. 3. AMPPNP binding to the enzyme has a pH optimum at pH 7.0--7.5 in the absence of added ions, which is shifted to pH 8 upon addition of MgCl2. 4. Cyclodiaminotetraacetic acid (CDTA, Tris salt) inhibits binding of AMPPNP. This inhibition is not due to chelation of Mg2+. It may be due to direct binding of CDTA to the enzyme or to removal of stabilizing cations other than Mg2+. 5. Binding curves determined in the presence of various concentrations of Mg2+ show that at low Mg2+ concentrations (less than 0.5 mM), the apparent number of binding sites is reduced, while at higher Mg2+ concentrations (greater than or equal to 0.5 mM), the binding of AMPPNP is inhibited in a competitive way. 6. From these observations it is concluded that the enzyme has two binding sites for AMPPNP and only one for Mg-AMPPNP (or two with strong anti-cooperativity), and that Mg2+ inhibits binding of Mg-AMPPNP. This finding is interpreted in terms of a model involving a dimeric form of the enzyme. 相似文献

The biosynthesis of insulin and betagranin, a 20-21 kDa co-secreted chromogranin A-related protein, were investigated in isolated insulinoma cells and islets. The insulinoma tissue processed proinsulin to insulin with kinetics similar to those reported in islet tissue. Unlike islets, however, the insulinoma released almost one-quarter of the newly synthesized proinsulin into the medium 10-40 min after its formation. Betagranin was initially immunoprecipitated as a 100 kDa precursor form, which was indistinguishable from chromogranin A in size and immunoreactivity and by peptide mapping. After an initial lag of 10-20 min, the precursor was converted progressively into betagranin, which appeared to be a stable end product. Formation of betagranin and insulin from their respective precursors followed a parallel course and could likewise be inhibited by NH4+, chloroquine and monensin, added either before labelling or at any point of time up to 15 min after labelling. As with proinsulin, approximately one-quarter of the betagranin precursor was released 10-40 min after synthesis. It is concluded that betagranin is produced by limited proteolysis from a chromogranin A precursor in pancreatic beta-cells by a cellular pathway indistinguishable from that of insulin from proinsulin. Chromogranin A is highly conserved in the N-terminal region represented by betagranin, further suggesting that the biological activity of chromogranin A may reside in a derived peptide rather than in the parent molecule. 相似文献

The microsomal fraction of rabbit liver contains an endopeptidase that cleaves synthetic peptides that mimic the amino acid sequences of the processing sites of many proproteins, including the vitamin K-dependent proteins. The endopeptidase (M(r) 69,000) was extracted from liver microsomes with 1% Lubrol and purified about 2,700-fold. The substrate employed for isolation and characterization of the enzyme was the decapeptide acetyl-Ala-Arg-Val-Arg-Arg-Ala-Asn-Ser-Phe-Leu (prothrombin peptide), in which hydrolysis occurred on the carboxyl side of the paired Arg-Arg residues. The purified enzyme, whose activity was enhanced 1.8-fold by 0.1 mM CoCl2, has a Km = 80 microM and Vmax = 21,000 nmol.min-1.mg-1 and a pH optimum of 8.7. Proteolytic cleavage of decapeptide substrates was dependent on an arginine residue at positions P1 and P4. The enzyme was completely inhibited by EDTA and 1,10-phenanthroline as well as by p-chloromercuriphenylsulfonic acid and Hg2+. Inhibitors of serine proteases and cysteine proteases had no effect. Based on the substrate preference, the endopeptidase appears to be a good candidate for the enzyme responsible for the precursor processing of the vitamin K-dependent proteins and a number of other proproteins that are synthesized via the secretory pathway in liver and other tissues. 相似文献

Ca2+ inhibits (-)[3H]desmethoxyverapamil, d-cis-[3H]diltiazem and (+/-)[3H]bepridil binding to skeletal muscle transverse-tubule membranes with a half-maximum inhibition constant, K0.5 = 5 +/- 1 microM. This value is close to that of the high affinity Ca2+ binding site which controls the ionic selectivity of the Ca2+ channel found in electrophysiological experiments suggesting that the Ca2+ coordination site which regulates the ionic selectivity is also the one which alters binding of the Ca2+ channel inhibitors investigated here. Ca2+ and (-)D888 bind to distinct sites. Occupation of the Ca2+ coordination site decreases the affinity of (-)D888 for its receptor by a factor of 5. Other divalent cations have the same type of inhibition behavior with the rank order of potency Ca2+ (K0.5 = 5 microM) greater than Sr2+ (K0.5 = 25 microM) greater than Ba2+ (K0.5 = 50 microM) greater than Mg2+ (K0.5 = 170 microM). 相似文献

Proalbumin to albumin conversion by a proinsulin processing endopeptidase of insulin secretory granules 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A lysate of purified insulin secretory granules, which contains two types of proinsulin processing activity (type 1, Arg-Arg-directed and type II, Lys-Arg-directed (Davidson, H.W., Rhodes, C.J., and Hutton, J. C. (1988) Nature 333, 93-96), was found to process proalbumin by specific proteolytic cleavage of the COOH-terminal side of the Arg-2-Arg-1 sequence. The subcellular distribution of proalbumin processing activity in insulinoma tissue paralleled that for proinsulin conversion and occurred principally in a secretory granule fraction. Cleavage appeared to result from the Arg-Arg-directed type 1 proinsulin processing endo-peptidase. It was Ca2+-dependent (K0.5 activation = 1.0-1.5 mM Ca2+), unaffected by group-specific inhibitors of serine, cysteinyl, or aspartyl proteinases, and had an acidic pH optimum (5.5). Active-site inhibitor studies showed this activity had a preference for dibasic over monobasic amino acid sequences and indicated that the sequence of the dibasic site was an important determinant of the susceptibility of the substrate to cleavage. The activity did not process the proalbumin Christchurch mutant (Arg-2-Arg-1 to Arg-2-Gln-1). It was inhibited by the variant alpha 1-antitrypsin Pittsburgh (Met358 to Arg358; K0.5 = 100 nM) but not by other related proteins normally co-secreted with albumin from hepatocytes, namely alpha 1-antitrypsin M, alpha 2-macroglobulin, or antithrombin III. The insulin secretory granule proalbumin processing activity was indistinguishable from a proalbumin endopeptidase reported in rat liver membranes and similar to the yeast KEX-2 protease. These findings suggest that a highly conserved set of proprotein endopeptidases exists, which are specific for a dibasic sequence but broadly specific for proprotein substrates. Such enzymic activities appear to be active within both the constitutive and regulated pathways of secretion. Intraorganellar Ca2+ and pH appear to play a key role in regulating their activities. 相似文献

1. The effect of free Mg2+, MgEDTA and MgCDTA on the phofphorylation of the (Na+ + K+)-activated ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) has been studied. 2. 10 mM trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (CDTA) added simultaneously with [gamma-32P]ATP to a solution containing the enzyme, 1 mM Mg2+ and 150 mM Na+ does not prevent formation of phospho-enzyme. When [gamma-32P]ATP is added after CDTA the level of phospho-enzyme obtained decreases with increase in the time interval between addition of CDTA and ATP. The inability of CDTA to prevent the formation of phospho-enzyme becomes more pronounced when the medium contains MgEDTA. In the presence of CDTA the maximum amount of phospho-enzyme formed increases with the MgEDTA concentration. 3. Without CDTA the steady-state level of phospho-enzyme is directly proportional to the logarithm of free Mg2+ concentration. Neither with suboptimal nor with optimal concentrations of free Mg2+ does MgEDTA have an effect on the level of phospho-enzyme formed. 4. Using the phospho-enzyme level as a measure of free Mg2+ the experiments show that CDTA reacts slower with Mg2+ than does EDTA, but the stability constant of MgCDTA complex is higher than of MgCDTA, complex. 5. Due to the higher stability constant, of MgCDTA, as compared to MgEDTA, addition of CDTA to a medium containing free Mg2+ and MgEDTA will not only chelate the free Mg2+, but it will also shift the equilibrium from MgEDTA towards MgCDTA, i.e. MgEDTA acts as a source of free Mg2+ which is then chelated by CDTA. The experiments show that it takes minutes before Mg2+, EDTA and CDTA come to equilibrium. Provided the dissociation of MgEDTA is faster than the formation of the MgCDTA complex, the medium will contain a concentration of free Mg2+ which at any given instant is near in equilibrium with a slowly decreasing concentration of MgEDTA; this free Mg2+ can support phosphorylation. This can explain why the rate with which CDTA stops phosphorylation decreases with an increase in the MgEDTA concentration. 6. When phosphorylation is stopped by addition of unlabelled ATP, the rate of dephosphorylation is faster than when it is stopped by addition of CDTA both with and without EDTA in the medium. CDTA reacts too slowly with Mg2+ to be used as a chelator in studies where a fast removal of Mg2+ is required. 7. A previous finding has been verified, namely that the rate of spontaneous, of K+-stimulated and of ADP-stimulated dephosphorylation is independent of the Mg2+ concentration during formation of phospho-enzyme. 相似文献

High affinity Ca2+-stimulated Mg2+-dependent ATPase in rat brain synaptosomes, synaptic membranes, and microsomes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

High affinity Ca2+-stimulated Mg2+-dependent ATPase activity of nerve ending particles (synaptosomes) from rat brain tissue appears to be associated primarily with isolated synaptic plasma membranes. The synaptic membrane (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity was found to exhibit strict dependence on Mg2+ for the presence of the activity, a high affinity for Ca2+ (K0.5 = 0.23 microM), and relatively high affinities for both Mg2+ and ATP (K0.5 = 6.0 microM for Mg2+ and KM = 18.9 microM for ATP). These kinetic constants were determined in incubation media that were buffered with the divalent cation chelator trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid. The enzyme activity was not inhibited by ouabain or oligomycin but was sensitive to low concentrations of vanadate. The microsomal membrane subfraction was the other brain subcellular fraction with a high affinity (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity which approximated that of the synaptic plasma membranes. The two membrane-related high affinity (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activities could be distinguished on the basis of their differential sensitivity to vanadate at concentrations below 10 microM. Only the synaptic plasma membrane (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase was inhibited by 0.25-10 microM vanadate. The studies described here indicate the possible involvement of both the microsomal and the neuronal plasma membrane (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase in high affinity Ca2+ transport across membranes of brain neurons. In addition, they suggest a means by which the relative contributions of each transport system might be evaluated based on their differential sensitivity to inhibition by vanadate. 相似文献

The cysteine protease known as "prohormone thiol protease" (PTP) has been identified as a major proenkephalin processing enzyme in secretory vesicles of adrenal medulla (known as chromaffin granules). This study provides the first demonstration that PTP exists as a multicatalytic cysteine protease complex that can be activated by endogenous glutathione present in chromaffin granules. The high molecular mass nature of PTP, of approximately 185 kDa, was demonstrated by elution of a single peak of 35S-enkephalin precursor cleaving activity by Sephacryl S200 gel filtration chromatography and by a single band of 35S-enkephalin precursor cleaving activity detected on radiozymogram gels under native buffer conditions. Importantly, when 0.1% SDS was included in radiozymogram gels, PTP activity was resolved into three bands of proteolytic activity with apparent molecular masses of 88, 81, and 61 kDa. These activities were all cysteine proteases, since they were inhibited by the cysteine protease inhibitor E-64c but not by pepstatin A or EDTA that inhibit aspartyl protease and metalloprotease, respectively. Purification of native PTP by preparative gel electrophoresis indicated that PTP was composed of four polypeptides of 66, 60, 33, and 29 kDa detected on SDS-PAGE gels. These four protein subunits accounted for the three catalytic activities of PTP, as demonstrated on 35S-enkephalin precursor radiozymogram gels. Results also indicated that the electrophoretic mobilities of the four subunits differed under reducing compared to nonreducing conditions. The multicatalytic activities of the PTP complex all require reducing conditions for activity, which can be provided by endogenous reduced glutathione in chromaffin granules. These novel findings provide the first evidence for a role of a multicatalytic cysteine protease complex, PTP, in chromaffin granules that may be involved in the proteolytic processing of proenkephalin and perhaps other precursors into active neuropeptides. 相似文献

A potential role of arachidonic acid in the modulation of insulin secretion was investigated by measuring its effects on calmodulin-dependent protein kinase and protein kinase C in islet subcellular fractions. The results were interpreted in the light of arachidonic acid effects on insulin secretion from intact islets. Arachidonic acid could replace phosphatidylserine in activation of cytosolic protein kinase C (K0.5 of 10 microM) and maximum activation was observed at 50 microM arachidonate. Arachidonic acid did not affect the Ca2+ requirement of the phosphatidylserine-stimulated activity. Arachidonic acid (200 microM) inhibited (greater than 90%) calmodulin-dependent protein kinase activity (K0.5 = 50-100 microM) but modestly increased basal phosphorylation activity (no added calcium or calmodulin). Arachidonic acid inhibited glucose-sensitive insulin secretion from islets (K0.5 = 24 microM) measured in static secretion assays. Maximum inhibition (approximately 70%) was achieved at 50-100 microM arachidonic acid. Basal insulin secretion (3 mM glucose) was modestly stimulated by 100 microM arachidonic acid but in a non-saturable manner. In perifusion secretion studies, arachidonic acid (20 microM) had no effect on the first phase of glucose-induced secretion but nearly completely suppressed second phase secretion. At basal glucose (4 mM), arachidonic acid induced a modest but reproducible biphasic insulin secretion response which mimicked glucose-sensitive secretion. However, phosphorylation of an 80 kD protein substrate of protein kinase C was not increased when intact islets were incubated with arachidonic acid, suggesting that the small increases in insulin secretion seen with arachidonic acid were not mediated by protein kinase C. These data suggest that arachidonic acid generated by exposure of islets to glucose may influence insulin secretion by inhibiting the activity of calmodulin-dependent protein kinase but probably has little effect on protein kinase C activity. 相似文献

To better understand the adaptive strategies that led to freshwater invasion by hyper-regulating Crustacea, we prepared a microsomal (Na+, K+)-ATPase by differential centrifugation of a gill homogenate from the freshwater shrimp Macrobrachium olfersii. Sucrose gradient centrifugation revealed a light fraction containing most of the (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity, contaminated with other ATPases, and a heavy fraction containing negligible (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity. Western blotting showed that M. olfersii gill contains a single alpha-subunit isoform of about 110 kDa. The (Na+, K+)-ATPase hydrolyzed ATP with Michaelis Menten kinetics with K5, = 165+/-5 microM and Vmax = 686.1+/-24.7 U mg(-1). Stimulation by potassium (K0.5 = 2.4+/-0.1 mM) and magnesium ions (K0.5 = 0.76+/-0.03 mM) also obeyed Michaelis-Menten kinetics, while that by sodium ions (K0.5 = 6.0+/-0.2 mM) exhibited site site interactions (n = 1.6). Ouabain (K0.5 = 61.6+/-2.8 microM) and vanadate (K0.5 = 3.2+/-0.1 microM) inhibited up to 70% of the total ATPase activity, while thapsigargin and ethacrynic acid did not affect activity. The remaining 30% activity was inhibited by oligomycin, sodium azide and bafilomycin A. These data suggest that the (Na+, K+)-ATPase corresponds to about 70% of the total ATPase activity; the remaining 30%, i.e. the ouabain-insensitive ATPase activity, apparently correspond to F0F1- and V-ATPases, but not Ca-stimulated and Na- or K-stimulated ATPases. The data confirm the recent invasion of the freshwater biotope by M. olfersii and suggest that (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity may be regulated by the Na+ concentration of the external medium. 相似文献

Interaction of palytoxin and cardiac glycosides on erythrocyte membrane and (Na+ + K+) ATPase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Palytoxin (PTX), at extremely low concentrations (0.01-1 nM), caused K+ release from rabbit erythrocytes. Among the various chemical compounds tested, cardiac glycosides potently inhibited the PTX-induced K+ release. The order of inhibitory potency (IC50) was cymarin (0.42 microM) greater than convallatoxin (0.9 microM) greater than ouabain (2.3 microM) greater than digitoxin (88 microM) greater than digoxin (90 microM). Their corresponding aglycones, even at 10 microM, did not inhibit the K+ release, but competitively antagonized the inhibitory effect of the glycosides. All these cardiotonic steroids inhibited the activity of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase prepared from hog cerebral cortex in narrow concentration ranges (IC50 = 0.15-2.4 microM), suggesting that the inhibition of K+ release is not related to their inhibitory potency on the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity, and the sugar moiety of cardiac glycosides is involved in the inhibition. On the other hand PTX, at higher concentrations (greater than 0.1 microM), inhibited the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase activity. However, this inhibitory effect of PTX was not antagonized by ouabain. It is suggested that, compared with ouabain, PTX has additional binding site(s) on the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. 相似文献

A unique cytoplast preparation from Ehrlich ascites tumor cells (G. V. Henius, P. C. Laris, and J. D. Woodburn (1979) Exp. Cell. Res. 121, 337-345), highly enriched in plasma membranes, was employed to characterize the high-affinity plasma membrane calcium-extrusion pump and its associated adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase). An ATP-dependent calcium-transport system which had a high affinity for free calcium (K0.5 = 0.040 +/- 0.005 microM) was identified. Two different calcium-stimulated ATPase activities were detected. One had a low (K0.5 = 136 +/- 10 microM) and the other a high (K0.5 = 0.103 +/- 0.077 microM) affinity for free calcium. The high-affinity enzyme appeared to represent the ubiquitous high-affinity plasma membrane (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase (calcium-stimulated, magnesium-dependent ATPase) seen in normal cells. Both calcium transport and the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase were significantly stimulated by the calcium-dependent regulatory protein calmodulin, especially when endogenous activator was removed by treatment with the calcium chelator ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether) N,N'-tetraacetic acid. Other similarities between calcium transport and the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase included an insensitivity to ouabain (0.5 mM), lack of activation by potassium (20 mM), and a requirement for magnesium. These similar properties suggested that the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase represents the enzymatic basis of the high-affinity calcium pump. The calcium pump/enzyme system was inhibited by orthovanadate at comparatively high concentrations (calcium transport: K0.5 congruent to 100 microM; (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase: K0.5 greater than 100 microM). Upon Hill analysis, the tumor cell (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase failed to exhibit cooperative activation by calcium which is characteristic of the analogous enzyme in the plasma membrane of normal cells. 相似文献

The effects of KN-62, a specific inhibitor of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CamPKII), on insulin secretion and protein phosphorylation were studied in rat pancreatic islets and RINm5F cells. KN-62 was found to dose-dependently inhibit autophosphorylation of CamPKII in subcellular preparations of RINm5F cells (K0.5 = 3.1 +/- 0.3 microM), but had no effect on protein kinase C or myosin light chain kinase activity. KN-62, but not the inactive analogue KN-04, dose-dependently inhibited glucose-induced insulin release (K0.5 = 1.5 +/- 0.5 microM) in a manner similar to the inhibition of CamPKII autophosphorylation. KN-62 (10 microM) inhibited carbachol (in the presence of 8 mM glucose) and potassium-stimulated insulin secretion from islets by 53% and 59%, respectively. These results support a role of CamPKII in glucose-sensitive insulin secretion. 相似文献

Since Na+,K+-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) of pig kidney modified with a fluorescent sulfhydryl reagent, N-[p-(2-benzimidazolyl) phenyl]maleimide, at Cys-964 of the alpha-chain showed ATP-dependent, reversible, and dynamic fluorescence changes (Nagai, M., Taniguchi, K., Kangawa, K., Matsuo, S., Nakamura, S., and Iida, S. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 13197-13202), we studied the conformational change during Na+,K+-ATPase reaction using the modified enzyme. The addition of K+ to the enzyme increased the fluorescence intensity to 2% in the presence of 160 mM Na+ and 3 mM Mg2+ (K0.5 = 16.4 mM). Addition of low concentrations of ATP immediately increased the intensity to 3.2% (K0.5 less than 0.1 microM) to accumulate fully K+-bound enzyme in the presence of 43 mM K+ with Na+ and Mg2+, but further addition of higher concentrations of ATP diminished the increase (K0.5 = 120 microM). After exhaustion of ATP, the fluorescence intensity decreased to -0.4% (K0.5 = 0.3 microM) and -2% (K0.5 = 20 microM), respectively, in the presence of low and high concentrations of ADP produced from ATP. High concentrations of ATP accelerated Na+,K+-ATPase activity with a simultaneous increase in the amount of ADP-sensitive phosphoenzyme irrespective of the modification. Adenylyl imidodiphosphate and ADP accelerated Na+,K+-ATPase activity in the presence of 2.7 microM ATP by decreasing the extent of the fluorescence without affecting the amount of phosphoenzyme, irrespective of the modification. These data suggest that Na+,K+-ATPase activity was accelerated due to the acceleration of the breakdown of K+-bound enzyme by high concentrations of ATP and ATP analogues. 相似文献

Purified (Na+ + K+)-ATPase from pig kidney was attached to black lipid membranes and ATP-induced electric currents were measured as described previously by Fendler et al. ((1985) EMBO J. 4, 3079-3085). An ATP concentration jump was produced by an ultraviolet-light flash converting non-hydrolysable caged ATP to ATP. In the presence of Na+ and Mg2+ this resulted in a transient current signal. The pump current was not only ATP dependent, but also was influenced by the ATP/caged ATP ratio. It was concluded that caged ATP binds to the enzyme (and hence inhibits the signal) with a Ki of approx. 30 microM, which was confirmed by enzymatic activity studies. An ATP affinity of approx. 2 microM was determined. The addition of the protonophore 1799 and the Me+/H+ exchanger monensin made the bilayer conductive leading to a stationary pump current. The stationary current was strongly increased by the addition of K+ with a K0.5 of 700 microM. Even in the absence of K+ a stationary current could be measured, which showed two Na+-affinities: a high-affinity (K0.5 less than or equal to 1 mM) and a low-affinity (K0.5 greater than or equal to 0.2 M). In order to explain the sustained electrogenic Na+ transport during the Na+-ATPase activity, it is proposed, that Na+ can replace K+ in dephosphorylating the enzyme, but binds about 1000-times weaker than K+. The ATP requirement of the Na+-ATPase was the same (K0.5 = 2 microM) with regard to the peak currents and the stationary currents. However, for the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase the stationary currents required more ATP. The results are discussed on the basis of the Albers-Post scheme. 相似文献

We investigated the response of extracellular phosphatase to heat shock in heterotrophic Chenopodium rubrum L. cell cultures. Surprisingly, in contrast to the generally used acid phosphatase, an extracellular alkaline phosphatase showed the most sensitive response. This phosphatase was characterized as a marker for cellular stimulation by its high correlations with induced changes of extracellular pH: 10microM nigericin (correlation coefficient r=0.91), 100microM salicylic acid (r=0.84), heat shock 5min 37 degrees C (r=0.79), and heat shock after pre-treatment with 5microM fusicoccin (r=0.92) or 0.5% ethanol (r=0.90). Cellular stimulation was estimated with concentrations of acids and bases, yielding similar levels of pH change (0.5 pH) in cell-free supernatant: salicylic acid (200microM), benzoic acid (600microM), HCl (140microM), NaOH (100microM), and KOH (100microM). The Golgi apparatus inhibitor Brefeldin A (200microM) reduced the heat-shock-induced phosphatase (-33%). The pH optimum of heat-shock-induced phosphatase was 3; however, there the proportion of constitutive phosphatase was higher than at pH 8-9.5, indicating different pH dependence of constitutive and induced activity. Thus, heat-shock-induced phosphatase was characterized by alkaline activity with inhibitors (10microM molybdate: -52%, 2.5mM phosphate: -64%, 10microM ZnCl(2): -82%), substrates (2.5mM, tyrosine phosphate: 255pkat g(-1), p-nitrophenyl phosphate: 92pkat g(-1), serine phosphate: 0, threonine phosphate: 0), Hill coefficient (nH=1.4) indicating two binding sites, and the extent of heat-shock stimulation (p-nitrophenyl phosphate: +190%, tyrosine phosphate: +180%). SDS-PAGE showed a correlation of alkaline phosphatase with the heat-shock-induced release of highly N-glycosylated 53kDa protein, detected by peroxidase-labeled concanavalin A affinoblotting after endoglycosidase H treatment. The 53kDa protein showed no in-gel phosphatase activity after SDS-PAGE and regeneration treatment, in contrast to a putative dimer (105kDa). 相似文献
