Kinetic studies on the ADP-ATP exchange reaction catalyzed by Na+, K+-dependent ATPase. Evidence for the K.S.T. mechanism with two enzyme-ATP complexes and two phosphorylated intermediates of high-energy type.

The kinetic properties of the [3H]ADP-ATP exchange reaction catalyzed by Na+, K+-dependent ATPase [EC 3.6.1,3] were investigated, using NaI-treated microsomes from bovine brain, and the following results were obtained. 1. The rates of the Na+-dependent exchange reaction in the steady state were measured in a solution containing 45 micronM free Mg2+, 100 mMNaCl, 80 micronM ATP, and 160 micronM ADP at pH 6.5 and 4-5 degrees. The rate and amount of decrease in phosphorylated intermediate on adding ADP, i.e., the amount of ADP-sensitive EP, were measured while varying one of the reaction parameters and fixing the others mentioned above. Plots of the exchange rate and the amount of ADP-sensitive EP against the logarithm of free Mg2+ concentration gave bell-shaped curves with maximum values at 50-60 micronM free Mg2+. Plots of the exchange rate and the amount of ADP-sensitive EP against pH also gave bell-shaped curves with maximum values at pH 6.9-7. They both increased with increase in the concentration of NaCl to maximum values at 150-200 mM NaCl, and then decreased rapidly with increase in the NaCl concentration above 200 mM. The dependences of the exchange rate and the amount of ADP-sensitive EP on the concentration of ADP followed the Michaelis-Menten equation, and the Michaelis constants Km, for both were 43 micronM. The dependence of the exchange rate on the ATP concentration also followed the Michaelis-Menten equation, and the Km value was 30 micronM. The amount of ADP-sensitive EP increased with increase in the ATP concentration, and reached a maximum value at about 5 micronM ATP. 2. The N+-dependent [3H]ADP-ATP exchange reaction was started by adding [3H]ADP to EP at low Mg2+-concentration. The reaction consisted of a rapid initial phase and a slow steady phase. The amount of [3H]ATP formed during the rapid initial phase, i.e. the size of the ATP burst, was equal to that of ADP-sensitive EP, and was proportional to the rate in the steady state. At high Mg2+ concentration, the rate of Na+-dependent exchange in the steady state was almost zero, and EP did not show any ADP sensitivity. However, rapid formation of [3H]ATP was observed in the pre-steady state, and the size of the ATP burst increased with increase in the KCl concentration. From these findings, we concluded that an enzyme-ATP complex (E2ATP) formed at low Mg2+ concentration is in equilibrium with EP + ADP, that the rate-limiting step for the exchange reaction is the release of ATP from the enzyme-ATP complex, that the ADP-insensitive EP (formula: see text) produced at high Mg2+ concentration is in equilibrium with the enzyme-ATP complex, and that the equilibrium shifts towards the enzyme-ATP complex on adding KCl. Actually, the ratio of the size of the ATP burst to the amount of EP was equal to the reciprocal of the equilibrium constant of step (formula: see text), determined by a method previously reported by us.

Effects of ATP on the intermediary steps of the reaction of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. IV. Effect of ATP on K0.5 for Na+ and on hydrolysis at different pH and temperature.

The pH optimum for (Na+ + K+)-ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) depends on the combination of monovalent cations, on the ATP concentration and on temperature. ATP decreases the Na+ concentration necessary for half maximum activation, K0.5 for Na+ (Na+ + K+ = 150 mM), and the effect is pH and temperature dependent. At a low ATP concentration a decrease in pH leads to an increase in K0.5 for Na+, while at the high ATP concentration it leads to a decrease. K0.5 for ATP for hydrolysis decreases with an increase in pH. The fractional stimulation by K+ in the presence of Na+ decreases with the ATP concentration, and at a low ATP concentration K+ becomes inhibitory, this being most pronounced at 0 degrees C. The results suggest that (a) ATP at a given pH has two different effects: it increases the Na+ relative to K+ affinity on the internal site (K0.5 for ATP at pH 7.4, 37 degrees C, is less than 10 microM); it increases the molar activity in the presence of Na+ + K+ (K0.5 for ATP at pH 7.4, 37 degrees , is 127 microM), (b) binding of the cations to the external as well as the internal sites leads to pK changes (Bohr effect) which are different for Na+ and for K+, i.e. the selectivity for Na+ relative to K+ depends both on ATP and on the degree of protonation of certain groups on the system, (c) ATP involves an extra dissociable group in the determination of the selectivity of the internal site, and thereby changes the effect of an increase in protonation of the system from a decrease to an increase in selectivity for Na+ relative to K+.

Actin mediated release of ATP from a myosin-ATP complex.

The apparent second-order rate constant, ka-2, of actin binding to a myosin-ATP state (M*.ATP) and releasing ATP to the medium has been determined by two methods. The first was the measurement of the amount of ATP released when actin was added to the intermediate state, M*.ATP; the second was the measurement of oxygen exchange between ATP and HOH. A quantitative treatment of ATP in equilibrium HOH exchange is given to allow extraction of elementary rate constants from the data. Agreement between the two methods was good and at low ionic strength and 23 degrees C, ka-2 is 6 X 10(5) M-1 s-1 which is about one-third the value of the apparent second-order rate constant, ka4, of actin binding to the myosin product state (M**.ADP.Pi). The determination of ka-2 allows a lower limit of 6 s-1 to be placed upon the first-order rate of ATP release from AM.ATP. This is to be compared with a value of less than or equal to 1.5 X 10(-4) s-1 for the equivalent steps of the myosin scheme; thus actin enhances the rate by a factor of 4 X 10(4) or more. A greater proportion of the bound ATP is released to the medium as ATP with increasing actin concentration. This reflects the contribution to rate limitation at saturating actin concentration of steps between myosin states dissociated from actin.

Regulation of the transmembrane potential of isolated chromaffin granules by ATP, ATP analogs, and external pH.

The transmembrane potential of isolated chromaffin granules has been measured using the permeant ions [14C]methylamine and [35S]thiocyanate, as well as the fluorescent probe, 9-aminoacridine. At pH 7.0, the granule membrane had a Nernst proton potential of -45mV, inside negative. This potential was sensitive to the external pH, but was unaffected by K+,Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, or other cations. The pH of zero potential was 6.25 for both methylamine and thiocyanate. Thiocyanate also had a Nernst potential of similar magnitude and sign to that of methylamine at pH 7.0, and was also sensitive to variation in external pH. Mg2+ATP was found to depolarize the granule membrane by a saturable mechanism with a K 1/2 for ATP of 40 muM. Ca2+ was only 30% as effective as Mg2+ in supporting the ATP effect. The pH optimum for this process was 6.25 and appeared to be accompanied by a marked alkalinization of the granule interior. The specificity for ATP was further tested with structural analogs of ATP and GTP. The rate of change of membrane potential in response to changes in external pH or Mg2+ATP was estimated using the fluorescent probe 9-aminoacridine. Changes came to completion in less than 1 s. This suggested that the ATP effects were not dependent on an enzymatic transformation but on an ATP-induced conformational change in the membrane. We conclude that the chromaffin granule exists in at least two proton permeability states, corresponding to the presence or absence of Mg2+ATP. These states may be related to hormone release from granules and regulation of secretion in vivo.

Beyond NAD Depletion: SARM1-Induced ATP Collapse Involves Direct ATP Degradation and Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Is Pharmacologically Reversible.

Sterile alpha and Toll/interleukin-1 receptor motif-containing protein 1 (SARM1) is an inducible NAD-consuming enzyme and execution factor in axon degeneration. Rapid ATP collapse after SARM1 activation, however, is not fully explained by NAD depletion alone. We used SARM1-overexpressing HEK293 cells and the cell-permeant activator CZ-48 to examine SARM1-induced non-apoptotic cell death, termed sarmoptosis. CZ-48 induced cell death that was suppressed by HSP90/70-annotated ATP-competitive compounds, especially geldanamycin and VER-155008 (VER), without reducing SARM1 abundance. VER preserved NAD and ATP during SARM1 activation but failed to rescue FK866-mediated NAD starvation, thereby distinguishing CZ-48/SARM1-driven cytotoxicity from generic NAD depletion. In cell-free assays, purified SARM1 reduced ATP levels; this effect was enhanced by SARM1's activator NMN and attenuated by its pharmacological inhibitors, although the in vitro activity was modest and the reaction products remain to be identified. ATPase-related perturbations, including thapsigargin and bafilomycin A1, also protected cells from CZ-48-induced death, further supporting a central role for ATP collapse in sarmoptosis. iTRAQ proteomics, MitoSOX Red staining, and DiOC6(3) staining revealed that CZ-48 treatment was associated with mitochondrial and metabolic remodeling, mitochondrial ROS accumulation, and mitochondrial depolarization, all of which were mitigated by VER. Collectively, these findings support a convergent ATP-collapse model in which SARM1 activation promotes NAD depletion, directly consumes ATP, and is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction that may amplify ATP-production failure.

ATP hydrolysis and synthesis by the membrane-bound ATP synthetase complex of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum.

The membrane-bound ATP synthetase complex of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum showed maximum activity for ATP hydrolysis at pH 8, at temperatures between 65 and 70 degrees C, and at an ATP-Mg2+ ratio of 0.5. Anaerobic conditions were not prerequisite for enzyme activity. The enzyme showed a Km value for ATP of 2 mM, and activity was Mg2+ dependent; Mn2+, Co2+, Ca2+, and Zn2+ could replace Mg2+ to some extent. Other nucleoside triphosphates could be hydrolyzed. N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide inhibited ATP hydrolysis. A proton-motive force, artificially imposed by a pH shift or valinomycin, resulted in ATP synthesis in whole cells. The ATP synthetase complex of the thermophilic methanogenic bacterium is similar to those described in aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms.

An ATP stimulation of T4 DNA polymerase mediated via T4 gene 44/62 and 45 proteins. The requirement for ATP hydrolysis.

An in vitro replication system reconstituted from six purified T4 bacteriophage proteins, each of which is essential for T4 DNA replication in vivo, requires ATP. Because of the complexity of the complete system, we examine in this report the involvement of ATP in two subsystems of the overall DNA synthesis reaction. One subsystem consists of the T4 DNA polymerase (gene 43 protein) and its "accessory proteins," the gene 44/62 and 45 products. An even simpler subsystem consists of the gene 44/62 and 45 proteins alone, which together have a DNA-dependent ATPase activity. The combination of the 44/62 and 45 proteins hydrolyze ATP to ADP and inorganic phosphate in the presence of DNA. These essential accessory proteins have been previously shown to increase T4 DNA polymerase activity on primed, single-stranded DNA templates. In this report we use nucleotide analogues to demonstrate that this polymerase stimulation requires hydrolysis of the beta,gamma-phosphate bond of ATP. However, our data suggest that the mechanism of accessory protein stimulation is such that less than 1 ATP molecule need be hydrolyzed per 10 deoxyribonucleotides incorporated by the DNA polymerase into DNA.

Incorporation of adenosine into ATP: formation of compartmentalized ATP.

The incorporation of [3H]adenosine, [3H]adenine, and [3H]hypoxanthine into adenine nucleotides of nude (athymic) mouse liver and human hepatoma grown subcutaneously in nude mice was studied. 3H and 32P radioactive labeling in vivo of acid-soluble nucleotides followed by chromatographic procedures indicated that, in contrast to [3H]adenine and [3H]hypoxanthine, [3H]adenosine is preferentially incorporated into ATP in comparison with its incorporation into AMP and ADP. This phenomenon, as well as complementing the recently reported 3-fold increase in total cellular ATP upon treatmen- with 0.5-1.0 mM concentrations of adenosine, indicates the formation from adenosine of compartmentalized ATP that is not produced from either adenine or hypoxanthine. The observed effect is of larger magnitude in the growth-arrested normal liver than in the actively growing tumor.

ATP-sensitive and ATP-insensitive phosphofructokinase in Escherichia coli K-12.

The purification and kinetic characteristics of two phosphofructokinases are described. Aerobic cultures of Escherichia coli exhibit two types of phosphofructokinase. Both types are dimers of mol. wt 150,000 (subunit mol. wt 73,000), whereas the anaerobic culture of E. coli revealed only one type, which is a tetramer of mol. wt 350,000 (subunit mol. wt 90,000). Type 1 of the aerobic enzyme, representing approximately 70% of the total enzyme activity, is ATP-insensitive, whereas type II and the anaerobic enzyme are ATP-sensitive. The addition of AMP stimulates the tetramer, relieving ATP inhibition, and also the type II dimer, which is, however, inhibited at concentrations higher than 0.5 mM AMP. No effect was observed on the type I dimer of the aerobic preparation. ADP stimulates the tetramer and inhibits type I more strongly than type II of the aerobic dimer. The kinetic characteristics together with the effect of metabolites on these phosphofructokinase types are described and discussed in the light of their importance for the regulatory mechanism of the Pasteur effect.

ATP-atp.

It has been known for some years that intra-arterial application of ATP as well as the only treatment with hyperbaric Oxygen is able to influence favorably a sudden hearing loss. In this study the combined application of both agents was used optimally. Up to now only few cases could be treated. The three above mentioned patients have shown remarkable results. A patient with a long lasting sensorineural hearing loss is especially interesting and this is the reason why we now publish the results gathered up to now.
