1. The turnover of protein-bound phosphorylserine in preparations of membrane fragments from ox brain cortex was studied. 2. Turnover was considered to arise from the action of intrinsic protein kinases and phosphatases on a membrane protein or proteins. 3. Properties of the kinase system were studied by measuring the rate of incorporation of32P from γ-labelled ATP into protein-bound phosphorylserine isolated from partial acid hydrolysates of membrane proteins. 4. Properties of the phosphatase system were studied by observing the rate of loss of32P from membrane preparations pre-labelled with [32P]ATP. 5. Net phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of membrane protein was observed during incubation of membrane preparations with and without ATP. 6. The rate of turnover was about 4nmol of P/h per mg of protein at 20°C; dephosphorylation was considered to be the rate-limiting step.

SummaryOrnithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity, the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of polyamines, can be demonstrated in cultured, bovine, aortic endothelial cells (EC). Serum, serotonin and thrombin produce a rise in ODC activity. The serotonin-induced ODC activity is significantly blocked by imipramine (10-5 M) or Lilly 11 0140 (10-6M). Preincubation of EC with these blockers together almost completely depresses the 5-HT-stimulated ODC activity. These observations suggest a manner by which platelets may maintain EC structural and metabolic soundness.

Kinetics of formation of 2-imino-4-thiazolidone from S-ethoxycarbonylmethylisothiouronium chloride has been studied in aqueous buffers and dilute hydrochloric acid. The reaction is subject to general base catalysis, the β value being 0.65. Its rate limiting step consists in acid-catalyzed splitting off of ethoxide ion from dipolar tetrahedral intermediate. At pH < 2 formation of this intermediate becomes rate-limiting; rate constant of its formation is 2 . 104 s-1.

The cyclization kinetics of N-(2-methylcarbonylphenyl)-N’-methylsulfonamide (IIb) into 3-methyl-(1H)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide (Ib) has been studied in ethanolamine, morpholine, and butylamine buffers and in potassium hydroxide solution. The cyclization is subject to general base and general acid catalysis. The value of the Bronsted coefficient β is about 0.1, which indicates that splitting off of the proton from negatively charged tetrahedral intermediate represents the rate-limiting and thermodynamically favourable step. In the solutions of potassium hydroxide the cyclization of dianion of the starting ester IIb probably becomes the rate-limiting step.
