The Relationship

The relationship between tonoplast-bound ATPase activity and the magnitude of the electrochemical proton gradient has been investigated on tightly sealed vesicles prepared from rubber-tree (Hevea brasiliensis) latex. A variety of methods have been used to modify, either alone or together, the two components of the electrochemical proton gradient (delta mu H+). When the delta pH component was decreased either by titration with (NH4)2SO4 or by addition of protonophores or nigericin in the presence of K+, ATPase activity was stimulated. On the other hand, when the delta psi component was decreased either by addition of lipophilic cations or by addition of valinomycin in the presence of K+, ATPase activity decreased. It is concluded that activity of the tonoplast-bound ATPase is regulated by changes in the electrochemical proton gradient across the tonoplast, so that, once the maximum proton gradient is established across the tonoplast, any perturbation of the equilibrium state should result in the increased rate of ATP hydrolysis as the enzyme attempts to re-establish the initial gradient.

Stimulation Of

The effect of Cl- and other anions on the tonoplast H+-translocating ATPase (H+-ATPase) from Hevea brasiliensis (rubber tree) latex was investigated. Cl- and other anions stimulated the ATPase activity of tightly sealed vesicles prepared from Hevea tonoplast, with the following decreasing order of effectiveness: Cl- greater than Br- greater than SO4(2-) greater than NO3-. As indicated by the changes of the protonmotive potential difference, anion stimulation of tonoplast H+-ATPase was caused in part by the ability of these anions to dissipate the electrical potential. This interpretation assumes not a channelling of these anions against a membrane potential, negative-inside, but a modification of the permeability of these ions through the tonoplast membrane. In addition, Cl- and the other anions stimulated the ATPase activity solubilized from the tonoplast membrane. Consequently, the tonoplast H+-pumping ATPase can be considered as an anion-stimulated enzyme. These results are discussed in relation to various models described in the literature for the microsomal H+-ATPase systems claimed as tonoplast entities.

Cytochemical Demonstration

The lead salt method introduced by Wachstein and Meisel (12) for the cytochemical demonstration of ATPase activity was modified and used to determine sites of activity on red cell ghost membranes. Preliminary studies showed that aldehyde fixation and standard concentrations of the capture reagent Pb(NO3)2 resulted in marked inhibition of the ATPase activity of these membranes. By lowering the concentration of Pb2+ and incubating unfixed red cell ghosts, over 50% of the total ATPase activity, which included an ouabain-sensitive, Na-K-activated component, could be demonstrated by quantitative biochemical assay. Cytochemical tests, carried out under the same conditions, gave a reaction product localized exclusively along the inner surfaces of the ghost membranes for both Mg-ATPase and Na-K-ATPase. These findings indicate that the ATPase activity of red cell ghosts results in the release of Pi on the inside of the ghost membrane at sites scattered over its inner aspect. There were no deposits of reaction product on the outer surface of the ghost membrane, hence no indication that upon ATP hydrolysis Pi is released outside the ghosts. Nor was there any clear difference in the localization of reaction product of Mg-ATPase as opposed to that of Na-K-ATPase.

1. The function of mitochondria, sarcotubular membranes (heavy microsomes), sarcolemma and myofibrils from the hind-leg skeletal muscle of about 60- and 150-day-old normal and myopathic (UM-X7.1) hamsters was examined. 2. The mitochondrial calcium uptake as well as mitochondrial phosphorylation and respiratory rates were lower in 60-day-old myopathic skeletal muscle, unlike 150-day-old myopathic animals, when pyruvate-malate and glutamate-malate were used as substrates. However, mitochondria from 150-day-old myopathic animals showed depressed glutamate-dependent respiratory and phosphorylation rates and succinate-supported initial rate of calcium uptake. 3. The microsomal calcium-uptake, but not calcium-binding, and Ca2+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity of the 150-day-old myopathic skeletal muscle were lower than the control values. Although microsomal calcium-binding, calcium-uptake and ATPase activities of the 60-day-old myopathic muscle were not depressed significantly, the initial rate of calcium uptake was less than the control. 4. The sarcolemmal Ca2+-ATPase, but not Mg2+-ATPase or Na+ +K+-ATPase, activity was higher in 60-day-old myopathic muscle whereas the activities of all these enzymes from 150-day-old myopathic animals were higher than the control. On the other hand, the Na+ +K+-ATPase activities from 60- and 150-day-old myopathic animals were inhibited by ouabain to a lesser extent in comparison with the respective control values. 5. The myofibrillar Ca2+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase activities as well as inhibition of Mg2+-ATPase due to Na+ and K+ in myopathic muscle were no different from the control values. 6. The results reported here give further support to the view that different membrane systems of the dystrophic muscle are defective.

The location of adenosine triphosphatase in the brain has been studied in rapidly frozen-dried cerebral tissues of the Wistar rat. It is found that adenosine triphosphatase is an almost exclusively nuclear enzyme. Two tissue fractions of the cerebrum were separated, so that one sample was made up of vascular elements, and the other of neural elements. The two fractions were then studied for their adenosine triphosphatase activity, and compared with the histochemical findings. The two tissue fractions were found not to differ in the absence of bivalent cations. When Ca++ were added to the cerebral vascular suspension, ATPase activity was increased approximately 15 times, and only 3 times in the presence of Mg++. Conversely, the addition of Mg++ increased the ATPase activity of the neural fraction 200%; whereas, Ca++ was responsible for a 60% increase. This fact was detectable microscopically when Ca++ was found to intensify vascular nuclear staining, and Mg++ to increase the neuronal and glial nuclear staining. The results, histochemical and biochemical, are mutually confirmatory.

Dense granules, the storage organelles for 5-hydroxytryptamine in blood platelets, have been isolated from porcine platelets and are shown to transport 5-hydroxytryptamine in response to a transmembrane proton gradient (delta pH). Transport in the absence of delta pH is minimal, and it is shown that a rapid increase in transport takes place as delta pH increases. Direct measurements with [14C]methylamine show a delta pH of 1.1 units (acid inside) for intact granules. Osmotically active ghosts of dense granules from which 95% of the endogenous 5-hydroxytryptamine content has been released have also been prepared. Ghosts swell in the presence of ATP and Mg2+, and this swelling is shown to be due to the entry of protons via a process linked to ATP hydrolysis. Proton entry is also apparently linked to anion penetration in ghosts. Steady-state 5-hydroxytryptamine transport in ghosts is stimulated approx. 3-fold on the addition of ATP to the incubation medium, and the stimulation of 5-hydroxytryptamine transport in ghosts correlates with the formation of a transmembrane delta pH. Ghosts generate a delta pH of 1.1-1.3 pH units (acid inside) in the presence of 5 mM-ATP/2.5 mM-MgSO4. delta pH is generated within 3 min at 37 degrees C and is dissipated by the ionophore nigericin and by NH4Cl. It is shown that an Mg2+-stimulated ATPase activity is present on the ghost membrane, and inhibition of the ATPase leads to a corresponding decrease in 5-hydroxytryptamine transport. The results presented support the idea that 5-hydroxytryptamine transport into platelet dense granules is dependent on the presence of a transmembrane delta pH and, together with previous findings by others, suggest a generalized mechanism for biogenic amine transport into subcellular storage organelles.

Abstract Breeding program of rubber tree to produce elite clones is hampered by the length of selection cycles. On the other hand, attempts to increase production by extensification of the plantation area is also facing a problem from the availability of the rootstock, causing the occurence of fake clones without any information of their origin. Therefore, the availability of molecular markers to be used as DNA fingerprint of rubber tree clones is needed. This will help the breeder to shorten the length of selection program and to identify the purity of the clone. This research was aimed to evaluate 18 SSR primer pairs that had been published to identify 17 rubber clones. Pure genomic DNAs were isolated from 17 clones, followed by experiment to optimize annealing tempe-rature for each primer to obtain the best amplification product. Initially, the PCR product was run in both the agarose and polyacrylamide gels. However, the analysis of all PCR products were then conducted on SDS polyacrylamide gel, since this gel can separate DNA fragments with only a few bases differences. The results showed that 14 clones have been identified specifically using 11 primers. Four out of 18 primer pairs used could identify 12 rubber tree clones, which are PR 107, PR 261, SP 217, PB 330, PB 340, IRR 5, IRR 112, IRR 118, IRR 220, GT 1, BPM 101 and RRIM 712. Each clone can be distinguished from each other using only one primer pair. Identification of the other tree clones (PB 5/51, PB 260, and RRIC 110) has to be conducted by combining the several PCR products using different primer pairs. Although these results showed that SSR markers had high potential to be used as DNA fingerprint on rubber tree clones, the set of the primer pairs should be tested among other clones, as well as other SSR primers should be tested to identify the clones which could not be identified using the 18 primer pairs in this experiment.Abstrak Pemuliaan tanaman karet untuk menghasilkan klon-klon unggul baru menghadapi masalah lamanya siklus seleksi.

Demikian pula primer lain perlu diuji untuk mengidentifikasi klon-klon yang belum teridentifikasi menggunakan 18 primer dalam penelitian ini.
