Addition of the synthetic chemotactic factor, formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylala-nine (F-Met-Leu-Phe) to medium containing magnesium, sodium, and potassium results in a doubling of the "Na+, K+"-ATPase activity of the plasma membrane fraction from polymophonuclear leukocytes (PMN). This activation is sensitive to ouabain inhibition and is dose dependent, maximal activity occuring at 10(-9)MF-Met-Leu-Phe. Equivalent activation was observed with the nonformylated derivative Met-Leu-Phe at 10(-9)M. The dipeptide, carbobenzoxy-methionylphenylalanine, which acts as an antagonist for F-Met-Leu-Phe, prevents the stimulation of the "Na+, K+"-ATPase by F-Met-Leu-Phe.

Antibodies directed against the purified calmodulin-binding (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase [(Ca2+ + Mg2+)-dependent ATPase] from pig erythrocytes and from smooth muscle of pig stomach (antral part) were raised in rabbits. Both the IgGs against the erythrocyte (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase and against the smooth-muscle (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase inhibited the activity of the purified calmodulin-binding (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase from smooth muscle. Up to 85% of the total (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity in a preparation of KCl-extracted smooth-muscle membranes was inhibited by these antibodies. The (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity and the Ca2+ uptake in a plasma-membrane-enriched fraction from this smooth muscle were inhibited to the same extent, whereas in an endoplasmic-reticulum-enriched membrane fraction the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity was inhibited by only 25% and no effect was observed on the oxalate-stimulated Ca2+ uptake. This supports the hypothesis that, in pig stomach smooth muscle, two separate types of Ca2+-transport ATPase exist: a calmodulin-binding ATPase located in the plasma membrane and a calmodulin-independent one present in the endoplasmic reticulum. The antibodies did not affect the stimulation of the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity by calmodulin.

The influence of Co 2+ ions on the activities of Na+/K+-ATPase and Mg2+ -ATPase, enzymes from rat brain synaptic plasma membrane, was studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the inhibition of both ATPases activities byexposure tocobalt ions as a function of experimentally added CoSO4. The "free" Co2+ concentrations in the reaction mixturewere also calculated and discussed. CoSO4 induced a dose-dependent inhibition of both enzymes. The IC50 values of Co 2+, as calculated from the experimental curves, were 168 mM for Na+/K+-ATPase and 262 mMfor Mg 2+-ATPase, and for the recalculated free Co 2+ concentration 75.4 mM for Na+/K+-ATPase and 136 mM for Mg 2+-ATPase. The obtained linear Dixon's plot for Na+/K+-ATPase implies equilibium binding of cobalt with inhibitory sites on the enzyme. The kinetic parameters for both enzymes in presence and absence of CoSO4 were calculated from the experimental data. The results of the kinetic analysis show that inhibition of Na+/K+-ATPase induced by CoSO4 is non-competitive, and for Mg 2+-ATPase that there are two sites of different sensitivities or two different enzymes.

Hela S3

A plasma membrane fraction of HeLa S3 cells, consisting of ghosts, is characterized more fully. A simple procedure is described which permits light and electron microscope study of the plasma membrane fraction through the entire depth of the final product pellet and through large areas parallel to the surface. Contamination by nuclei is 0.14%, too little for DNA detection by the diphenylamine reaction. Contamination by rough endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes is small, a single ghost containing about 3% of the RNA in a single cell. Mitochondria were not encountered. Electron microscopy also shows (a) small vesicles associated with the outer surface of the ghosts, and (b) a filamentous web at the inner face of the ghost membrane. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel analysis shows that of the many Coomassie Blue-stained bands two were prominent. One, 43,000 daltons, co-migrated with purified rabbit muscle actin and constituted about 7.5% of the plasma membrane protein. The other major band, 34,000 daltons, was concentrated in the plasma membrane fraction. Two major glycoproteins detected by autoradiography of [14C]fucose-labeled glycoproteins on the gels, had apparent molecular weights of 35,000 daltons and 32,000 daltons. These major bands did not stain with Coomassie Blue. There were many other minor glycoprotein bands in the 200,000- to 80,000-dalton range. Ouabain-sensitive, Na+, K+-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity of the ghost fraction is purified 9.1 (+/- 2.2) times over the homogenate; recover of the activity is 12.0 (+/- 3.8%) of the homogenate. Enrichment and recovery of fucosylglycoprotein parallel those for ouabain-sensitive Na+, K+-ATPase activity. Fucosyl glycoprotein is recovered more than the enzyme activity in a smooth membrane vesicle fraction probably containing the bulk of plasma membrane not recovered as ghosts.

The transport properties of the rabbit peritoneal polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) plasma membrane to Na+, K+, and Ca2+ have been characterized. The use of a silicone oil centrifugation technique provided a rapid and reliable method for measuring ion fluxes in these cells. Na+ and K+ movements across PMN membranes were found to be rapid. The value for the unifirectional steady-state fluxes (in meq/liter cell X min) were of the order of 3.0 for Na+ and 7.4 for K+. Ouabian inhibited both K+ influx and Na+ efflux, the latter being also dependent on the presence of extracellular potassium. The rate constant (in min-1) for 45Ca influx was found to be .05 and that for 45Ca efflux .04. The synthetic chemotactic factor formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP) was found to affect the fluxes of Na+, K+, and Ca2+ at concentrations as low as 10(-10)M. FMLP induced a large and rapid increase in the permeability of the PMN plasma membrane to 22Na. Smaller and delayed enhancements of 42K influx and 22Na efflux were also noted. Some evidence that the latter findings are a consequence of the increased 22Na influx is presented. 45Ca influx and efflux were also stimulated by FMLP. In the presence of 0.25 mM extracellular calcium, FMLP induced an increase in the steady-state level of cell-associated 45Ca. In the presence of .01 mM extracellular calcium, however, a transient decrease in the steady-state level of cell-associated 45Ca was induced by FMLP. The curves relating the concentration of FMLP to its effects on cation fluxes are very similar to those found for its enhancement of migration.

A plasma membrane-enriched fraction from rat myometrium shows ATP-Mg2+-dependent active calcium uptake which is independent of the presence of oxalate and is abolished by the Ca2+ ionophore A23187. Ca2+ loaded into vesicles via the ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake was released by extravesicular Na+. This showed that the Na+/Ca2+ exchange and the Ca2+ uptake were both occurring in plasma membrane vesicles. In a medium containing KCl, vanadate readily inhibited the Ca2+ uptake (K1/2 5 microM); when sucrose replaced KCl, 400 microM-vanadate was required for half inhibition. Only a slight stimulation of the calcium pump by calmodulin was observed in untreated membrane vesicles. Extraction of endogenous calmodulin from the membranes by EGTA decreased the activity and Ca2+ affinity of the calcium pump; both activity and affinity were fully restored by adding back calmodulin or by limited proteolysis. A monoclonal antibody (JA3) directed against the human erythrocyte Ca2+ pump reacted with the 140 kDa Ca2+-pump protein of the myometrial plasma membrane. The Ca2+-ATPase activity of these membranes is not specific for ATP, and is not inhibited by mercurial agents, whereas Ca2+ uptake has the opposite properties. Ca2+-ATPase activity is also over 100 times that of calcium transport; it appears that the ATPase responsible for transport is largely masked by the presence of another Ca2+-ATPase of unknown function. Measurements of total Ca2+-ATPase activity are, therefore, probably not directly relevant to the question of intracellular Ca2+ control.

We studied the effect of dopamine (DA) on Na+-K+-ATPase activity in proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) segments dissected from perfused rat kidneys. DA inhibited Na+-K+-ATPase activity in a dose-dependent manner. Inhibition was significant with 10(-7) M DA and maximal with 10(-4) M DA. The inhibition was reversible. Enzyme inhibition occurred in the presence of DA and a DA antagonist, metoclopramide, but not when 10(5) M of the DA1 and DA2 agonists fenoldopam mesylate and LY 171555 were added in the absence of DA. In PCT segments incubated with the DA precursor dopa, Na+-K+-ATPase activity was also inhibited. However, dopa did not inhibit the sodium pump if dopa decarboxylase activity was blocked with benserazide. These findings suggest an intracellular site of action of DA. In tubules incubated in different K concentrations, 10(-5) DA decreased the maximal activity (Vmax) and increased the Km. DA 10(-5) M caused an almost immediate swelling of PCT segments. Swelling did not occur in the presence of both DA and 10(-5) M amiloride. The DA-induced tubular swelling was probably due to inhibition of Na+-K+-ATPase-mediated Na+-transport. We conclude that in rat PCT segments, DA causes a rapid and reversible inhibition of apparent Na+-K+-ATPase activity and an apparent reduction in the affinity for K. The site of action appears to be intracellular.
