[Biochemical mechanisms for the effect of alcohol on the brain].

This paper reviews and discusses basic knowledge of biochemical mechanisms of action of ethanol upon the central nervous system, the emphasis being on effects upon cerebral membrane structures and processes as well as mechanisms of chemical synaptic transmission. Results of detailed studies into material and steric changes in membranes, ion-dependent adenosine triphosphatases, variations in ion balance, effects upon cyclic nucleotides, influences on special transmitter systems, and mechanisms of formation of morphine-analogous condensation products are presented. In addition, open questions are derived and formulated in problem complexes.

Reversible inactivation of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase by use of a cleavable bifunctional reagent.

1. Purified (Na+ + K+)-ATPase, prepared from rabbit kidney outer medulla, is incubated with the bifunctional NH2-directed reagent dimethyl 3,3'-dithiobis-propionimidate. This results in a cross-link between the subunits of the enzyme and a simultaneous reduction of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and K+-stimulated p-nitrophenylphosphatase activities. 2. The most abundant cross-link product is a dimer of the two different subunits of the enzyme. 3. Reduction of the disulfide cross-link by dithioerythritol results in partial recovery of the original subunit structure of the enzyme and of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase and K+-stimulated p-nitrophenylphosphatase activities. 4. These results suggest that a free mobility of the subunits of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase system relative to each other is essential for proper functioning of both enzyme activities.

Recurrent ATP1A1 variant Gly903Arg causes developmental delay, intellectual disability, and autism.

ATP1A1 encodes a sodium-potassium ATPase that has been linked to several neurological diseases. Using exome and genome sequencing, we identified the heterozygous ATP1A1 variant NM_000701.8: c.2707G>A;p.(Gly903Arg) in two unrelated children presenting with delayed motor and speech development and autism. While absent in controls, the variant occurred de novo in one proband and co-segregated in two affected half-siblings, with mosaicism in the healthy mother. Using a specific ouabain resistance assay in mutant transfected HEK cells, we found significantly reduced cell viability. Demonstrating loss of ATPase function, we conclude that this novel variant is pathogenic, expanding the phenotype spectrum of ATP1A1.

Possible molecular mechanism of mirex-induced hepatobiliary dysfunction.

Male Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with mirex, po, at 0, 5, 10, and 50 mg/kg/day in 0.4 ml of corn oil for 3 days. Forty-eight hours after the last treatment, the biliary excretion of exogenously provided polar metabolites of 14C-imipramine was suppressed at all levels of mirex in a dose-dependent manner. Biliary excretion of phenolphthalein glucuronide was suppressed at high doses of mirex. These effects of impaired biliary excretion were accompanied by increased bile flow. Persistence of the mirex-induced biliary excretory dysfunction toward otherwise readily excretable, preformed metabolites suggests aberration of transport of these substances from the liver to bile. Whereas mitochondrial Mg++-ATPase and microsomal Na+-K+-ATPase activities were both inhibited by exposure to mirex in a dose-dependent manner, the latter activity was consistently inhibited to a higher degree. These results are suggestive of mirex-induced interference with energy production and utilization in the manifestation of hepatobiliary dysfunction.

Solubilization and molecular weight determination of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase from rectal glands of Squalus acanthias.

The membrane-bound (Na+ + K+)-activated ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) system was treated with the nonionic detergent octaethylene-glycoldodecyl ether, yielding a transparent supernatant after centrifugation. The supernatant was highly active with both ATPase and p-nitrophenylphosphatase, with initial specific activities of 2300 mumol Pi released . mg-1 protein. h-1 and 350 mumol p-nitrophenol released.mg-1 protein.h-1, respectively. The supernatant was purified to 95--100%, with respect to the 96 000 dalton and the 56 000 dalton peptides. The solubilized enzyme was gel filtered in Sepharose 4B-Cl and displayed 2 peaks, both with catalytic activity. The low molecular weight particles eluted at Kav = 0.54, corresponding to a molecular weight of approximately 500 000 daltons and the particles had a specific activity of 2100 mumol Pi.mg-1 protein.h-1. Both peaks contained phospholipid with 60 mol phospholipid bound per 300 000 g protein. The low molecular weight particles had a molecular weight of 276 000 as determined by sedimentation equilibrium analysis.

Biallelic Variants in ATP1A4 Are Associated with Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia and Male Infertility.

Male infertility, often caused by structural and functional sperm defects, remains genetically unexplained in a substantial proportion of cases. ATP1A4 encodes a testis-specific isoform of the Na+, K+-ATPase, a membrane enzyme crucial for maintaining cellular ionic homeostasis. Previous studies on Atp1a4 knockout mice have demonstrated severe defects in sperm motility and flagellar architecture; however, the contribution of ATP1A4 variants to human male reproduction remains to be elucidated. In this study, we identified compound biallelic variants in ATP1A4, a missense variant (c.2578 T>A, p.Tyr860Asn) and a frameshift variant (c.2582del, p.Gly861Aspfs*5), in a patient presenting with severe oligoasthenoteratozoospermia. Both variants markedly affected ATP1A4 protein expression. Morphological analyses revealed coiled and folded flagella, disrupted mitochondrial sheaths, and irregular head morphology in the patient's spermatozoa. Expression profiling revealed that ATP1A4 was highly enriched in post-meiotic spermatids and localized along the entire flagellum of mature sperm in both humans and mice, indicating a critical role in flagellar assembly and structural integrity. Notably, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in this patient resulted in low fertilization efficiency and failed implantation, suggesting a potential adverse impact of ATP1A4 deficiency on sperm functional competence beyond motility. These findings broaden the genetic spectrum of oligoasthenoteratozoospermia and highlight ATP1A4 as a potential gene associated with human male infertility.

Effect of neuroleptic drugs on lithium uptake by the human erythrocyte.

We studied the effects of neuroleptic and antidepressant drugs on Li+ uptake in human red cells to examine the reported neurotoxicity reported for lithium-neuroleptic combination treatment and its relationship to altered tissue Li+ levels. All the phenothiazines increased Li+ influx in red cells and steady-state Li+ distribution ratio in vitro. This effect was not observed with other drugs studied. It is suggested that increased levels of Li+ in the tissue caused by phenothiazines may be related to neurotoxic effects observed during Li+ -phenothiazine therapy.

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+.

Subcellular distribution of nucleotide cyclases in rat intestinal epithelium.

The subcellular distributions of adenylate cyclase and guanylate cyclase were determined for the mature enterocyte from the rat duodenum. Brush-border and basolateral membranes were prepared from isolated cells by an analytical isolation procedure, and multiple linear regression analysis was used to obtain a quantitative estimate of the distribution of recovered cyclase activities between the brush borders and basolateral membranes. Adenylate cyclase was largely confined to the basolateral surface of the epithelium, whereas guanylate cyclase was found on the brush-border and basolateral membrane fractions in the ratio 2.4:1. There was no evidence for the presence of nucleotide cyclases in the cytosol. Guanylate cyclase in both the brush-border and basolateral membranes was stimulated by epinephrine, insulin, and Triton X-100, but not by carbachol. Adenylate cyclase was not influenced by epinephrine, but was markedly stimulated by NaF and vasoactive intestinal peptide. These results are discussed in relation to the effects of hormones on transport across the small intestine.

Cyclic nucleotide-dependent phosphorylation of rat intestinal microvillus and basal-lateral membrane proteins by an endogenous protein kinase.

Both the microvillus and basal-lateral membrane components of intestinal epithelial cells were found to contain endogenous cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinases and their endogenous protein substrates. The phosphorylation of either membrane component using [gamma-32P]ATP as substrate, occurred very rapidly, reaching maximal levels at 1 min. Both cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP were shown to stimulate the phosphorylation of the microvillus and basal-lateral membranes; the approximate concentrations of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP required for half-maximal stimulation of phosphorylation were 2 x 10(-7) M and 1.7 x 10(-8) M, respectively, for the basal-lateral membranes, and 2 x 10(-7) M and 3.2 x 10(-8) M, respectively, for the microvillus membranes. Although both membrane components were phosphorylated by an endogenous protein kinase, the microvillus membrane was consistently phosphorylated to a greater extent at maximally effective concentrations of either cyclic nucleotide. The microvillus and basal-lateral membranes were also found to contain a phosphoprotein phosphatase; however, the rate of removal of [32P]phosphate from the microvillus membrane was found to be more rapid. Neither cyclic AMP nor cyclic GMP altered the activity of the enzyme in either membrane. The present results together with earlier studies are compatible with the possibility that the regulation of water and electrolyte transport in the small intestine by cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP may be mediated through modulation of the phosphorylation of protein components of the microvillus and basal-lateral membranes.
