Convoluted Tubules

The distribution of several phosphatases in three segments of the proximal tubules was studied in frozen sections of glutaraldehyde-fixed rat kidneys. Two segments of the convoluted tubules were identified by in vivo injection of trypan blue. By increasing the concentration of adenosine triphosphate to 3 mM in the Wachstein and Meisel ATPase medium, a clear segmental differentiation in the reaction pattern of the brush border, cytoplasmic bodies and basal infoldings of the proximal tubules was obtained. The specificity of the reaction was investigated by substituting adenosine diphosphate, adenosine monophosphate or β-glycerophosphate for adenosine triphosphate in the incubation medium and by employing cyanide or fluoride as inhibitors. The reaction pattern was also compared with the localization of acid and alkaline phosphatase activities. In addition, the distribution of glucose 6-phosphatase activity was studied which showed differences in the three segments of the proximal tubules.

Reduced Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide

The effect of adenosine triphosphate, adenosine diphosphate, adenosine monophosphate and inorganic phosphate on the reduction of 2-(p-iodophenyi)-3-p-nitrophenyl-5-phenyl tetrazolium chloride (INT) to its formazan by reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (NADH) was studied in pigeon-heart mitochondria. Formazan production was followed at 540 mμ in 2.2 ml medium containing 0.4–0.5 mg mitochondrial protein, 0.22 M mannitol, 0.067 M sucrose, 0.02 M Tris–chloride, 0.02 mM EDTA, 0.5–3.0 mM INT, and 38 μM NADH at pH 7.2 and 28 °C. By means of the respiratory inhibitors Amytal, rotenone, antimycin A, and cyanide, it was shown that INT diverts electrons from the respiratory chain principally at the flavoprotein level. In contrast to its inhibitory effect on "the O2-linked oxidation of NADH, 10 mM adenosine triphosphate stimulated the reaction rate and formazan yield in the present system. Equimolar inorganic phosphate also increased the initial velocity but adenosine diphosphate and adenosine monophosphate did not. Preliminary kinetic studies suggest that NADH, but not INT, combines with the form of NADH dehydrogenase in the respiratory chain with which adenosine triphosphate reacts.

SummaryThe addition of the tri alkyl tins to stirred platelet rich plasma produces after a delay, gross platelet aggregation. The delay is decreased by Adenosine triphosphate and increased by Adenosine monophosphate. The tri alkyl tins may liberate Adenosine diphosphate from the platelets, possibly by stimulating an ATP-ase. Plasma as well as platelets can inactivate Adenosine diphosphate.

Gold nanoparticles covered with a mixture of ligands of which one type contains solubilizing triethylene glycol residues and the other peripheral zinc(II)–dipicolylamine (DPA) complexes allowed the optical detection of hydrogenphosphate, diphosphate, and triphosphate anions in water/methanol 1:2 (v/v). These anions caused the bright red solutions of the nanoparticles to change their color because of nanoparticle aggregation followed by precipitation, whereas halides or oxoanions such as sulfate, nitrate, or carbonate produced no effect. The sensitivity of phosphate sensing depended on the nature of the anion, with diphosphate and triphosphate inducing visual changes at significantly lower concentrations than hydrogenphosphate. In addition, the sensing sensitivity was also affected by the ratio of the ligands on the nanoparticle surface, decreasing as the number of immobilized zinc(II)–dipicolylamine groups increased. A nanoparticle containing a 9:1 ratio of the solubilizing and the anion-binding ligand showed a color change at diphosphate and triphosphate concentrations as low as 10 μmol/L, for example, and precipitated at slightly higher concentrations. Hydrogenphosphate induced a nanoparticle precipitation only at a concentration of ca. 400 μmol/L, at which the precipitates formed in the presence of diphosphates and triphosphates redissolved. A nanoparticle containing fewer binding sites was more sensitive, while increasing the relative number of zinc(II)–dipicolylamine complexes beyond 25% had a negative impact on the limit of detection and the optical response. Transmission electron microscopy provided evidence that the changes of the nanoparticle properties observed in the presence of the phosphates were due to a nanoparticle crosslinking, consistent with the preferred binding mode of zinc(II)–dipicolylamine complexes with phosphate anions which involves binding of the anion between two metal centers. This work thus provided information on how the behavior of mixed monolayer-protected gold nanoparticles is affected by multivalent interactions, at the same time introducing a method to assess whether certain biologically relevant anions are present in an aqueous solution within a specific concentration range.
