Abstract
A protocol for isolating milligram quantities of highly purified zymogen granule membranes from calf pancreas was developed. The method provides a fivefold enriched zymogen granule fraction that is virtually free from major isodense contaminants, such as mitochondria and erythrocytes. Isolated granules are osmotically stable in isosmotic KCl buffers with half-lives between 90 and 120 min. They display specific ion permeabilities that can be demonstrated using ionophore probes to override intrinsic control mechanisms. A Cl- conductance, a Cl-/anion exchanger, and a K+ conductance are found in the zymogen granule membrane, as previously reported for rat pancreatic, rat parotid zymogen granules, and rabbit pepsinogen granules. Lysis of calf pancreatic secretory granules in hypotonic buffers and subsequent isolation of pure zymogen granule membranes yield about 5-10 mg membrane protein from approximately 1000 ml pancreas homogenate. The purified zymogen granule membranes are a putative candidate for the rapid identification and purification of epithelial Cl- channels and regulatory proteins, since they contain fewer proteins than plasma membranes.

Abstract
Microsomes isolated from cat pancreas were incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP in the presence or absence of Ca2+. Following fractionation of phosphoproteins by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis a single microsomal protein with an apparent molecular mass of 77,000 dalton (77K) was found to be phosphorylated in a Ca2+-dependent mechanism. Maximal phosphate incorporation into the 77K protein was observed at 10(-6) mol/l [Ca2+] and was 4-fold higher than in the absence of Ca2+. The 77K phosphoprotein showed characteristic of a stable phosphoester rather than an acyl phosphate. Measurable phosphate incorporation into the 77K protein was noted 5 s following addition of [gamma-32P]ATP and reached maximum at 9-10th min. The lack of effect of exogenous cyclic AMP, cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, calmodulin, the calmodulin antagonist trifluoperazine, leupeptin and the suppression of phosphorylation by some phospholipid-interacting drugs suggested that the 77K protein is a substrate for cyclic AMP- and calmodulin-independent, Ca2+-activated phospholipid-sensitive kinase activity. Centrifugation of the pancreatic homogenate in a ficoll-sucrose density gradient indicated that both the 77K protein and enzyme were associated in a fraction enriched in rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
The presence of a coupled Na+/Ca2+ exchange system has been demonstrated in plasma membrane vesicles from rat pancreatic acinar cells. Na+/Ca2+ exchange was investigated by measuring 45Ca2+ uptake and 45Ca2+ efflux in the presence of sodium gradients and at different electrical potential differences across the membrane (= delta phi) in the presence of sodium. Plasma membranes were prepared by a MgCl2 precipitation method and characterized by marker enzyme distribution. When compared to the total homogenate, the typical marker for the plasma membrane, (Na+ + K+)-ATPase was enriched by 23-fold. Markers for the endoplasmic reticulum, such as RNA and NADPH cytochrome c reductase, as well as for mitochondria, the cytochrome c oxidase, were reduced by twofold, threefold and 10-fold, respectively. For the Na+/Ca2+ countertransport system, the Ca2+ uptake after 1 min of incubation was half-maximal at 0.62 mumol/liter Ca2+ and at 20 mmol/liter Na+ concentration and maximal at 10 mumol/liter Ca2+ and 150 mmol/liter Na+ concentration, respectively. When Na+ was replaced by Li+, maximal Ca2+ uptake was 75% as compared to that in the presence of Na+. Amiloride (10(-3) mol/liter) at 200 mmol/liter Na+ did not inhibit Na+/Ca2+ countertransport, whereas at low Na+ concentration (25 mmol/liter) amiloride exhibited dose-dependent inhibition to be 62% at 10(-2) mol/liter. CFCCP (10(-5) mol/liter) did not influence Na+/Ca2+ countertransport. Monensin inhibited dose dependently; at a concentration of 5 X 10(-6) mol/liter inhibition was 80%. A SCN- or K+ diffusion potential (= delta phi), being positive at the vesicle inside, stimulated calcium uptake in the presence of sodium suggesting that Na+/Ca2+ countertransport operates electrogenically, i.e. with a stoichiometry higher than 2 Na+ for 1 Ca2+. In the absence of Na+, delta phi did not promote Ca2+ uptake. We conclude that in addition to ATP-dependent Ca2+ outward transport as characterized previously (E. Bayerdörffer, L. Eckhardt, W. Haase & I. Schulz, 1985, J. Membrane Biol. 84:45-60) the Na+/Ca2+ countertransport system, as characterized in this study, represents a second transport system for the extrusion of calcium from the cell. Furthermore, the high affinity for calcium suggests that this system might participate in the regulation of the cytosolic free Ca2+ level.

Abstract
ATP-dependent 45Ca2+ uptake was investigated in purified plasma membranes from rat pancreatic acinar cells. Plasma membranes were purified by four subsequent precipitations with MgCl2 and characterized by marker enzyme distribution. When compared to the total homogenate, typical marker enzymes for the plasma membrane, (Na+,K+)-ATPase, basal adenylate cyclase and CCK-OP-stimulated adenylate cyclase were enriched by 43-fold, 44-fold, and 45-fold, respectively. The marker for the rough endoplasmic reticulum was decreased by fourfold compared to the total homogenate. Comparing plasma membranes with rough endoplasmic reticulum, Ca2+ uptake was maximal with 10 and 2 mumol/liter free Ca2+, and half-maximal with 0.9 and 0.5 mumol/liter free Ca2+. It was maximal at 3 and 0.2 mmol/liter free Mg2+ concentration, at an ATP concentration of 5 and 1 mmol/liter, respectively, and at pH 7 for both preparations. When Mg2+ was replaced by Mn2+ or Zn2+ ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake was 63 and 11%, respectively, in plasma membranes; in rough endoplasmic reticulum only Mn2+ could replace Mg2+ for Ca2+ uptake by 20%. Other divalent cations such as Ba2+ and Sr2+ could not replace Mg2+ in Ca2+ uptake. Ca2+ uptake into plasma membranes was not enhanced by oxalate in contrast to Ca2+ uptake in rough endoplasmic reticulum which was stimulated by 7.3-fold. Both plasma membranes and rough endoplasmic reticulum showed cation and anion dependencies of Ca2+ uptake. The sequence was K+ greater than Rb+ greater than Na+ greater than Li+ greater than choline+ in plasma membranes and Rb+ greater than or equal to K+ greater than or equal to Na+ greater than Li+ greater than choline+ for rough endoplasmic reticulum. The anion sequence was Cl greater than or equal to Br greater than or equal to 1 greater than SCN greater than NO3 greater than isethionate greater than cyclamate greater than gluconate greater than SO2(4) greater than or equal to glutarate and Cl- greater than Br greater than gluconate greater than SO2(4) greater than NO3 greater than 1 greater than cyclamate greater than or equal to SCN, respectively. Ca2+ uptake into plasma membranes appeared to be electrogenic since it was stimulated by an inside-negative K+ and SCN diffusion potential and inhibited by an inside-positive diffusion potential. Ca2+ uptake into rough endoplasmic reticulum was not affected by diffusion potentials. We assume that the Ca2+ transport mechanism in plasma membranes as characterized in this study represents the extrusion system for Ca2+ from the cell that might be involved in the regulation of the cytosolic Ca2+ level.

Abstract
Basolateral plasma membranes were prepared from rat parotid gland after centrifugation in a self-orienting Percoll gradient. K+-dependent phosphatase [Na+ + K+)-ATPase), a marker enzyme for basolateral membranes, was enriched 10-fold from tissue homogenates. Using this preparation, the transport of alpha-aminoisobutyrate was studied. The uptake of alpha-aminoisobutyrate was Na+-dependent, osmotically sensitive, and temperature-dependent. In the presence of a Na+ gradient between the extra- and intravesicular solutions, vesicles showed an 'overshoot' accumulation of alpha-aminoisobutyrate. Sodium-dependent alpha-aminoisobutyrate uptake was saturable, exhibiting an apparent Km of 1.28 +/- 0.35 mM and Vmax of 780 +/- 170 pmol/min per mg protein. alpha-Aminoisobutyrate transport was inhibited considerably by monensin, but incubating with ouabain was without effect. These results suggest that basolateral membrane vesicles, which possess an active amino acid transport system (system A), can be prepared from the rat parotid gland.

Abstract
We have previously shown that inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) releases Ca2+ from an intracellular calcium store in permeabilized acinar cells of rat pancreas (H. Streb et al., 1983, Nature (London) 306:67-69). This observation suggests that IP3 might provide the missing link between activation of the muscarinic receptor and Ca2+ release from intracellular stores during stimulation. In order to localize the intracellular IP3-sensitive calcium pool, IP3-induced Ca2+ release was measured in isolated subcellular fractions. A total homogenate was prepared from acinar cells which had been isolated by a collagenase digestion method. Endoplasmic reticulum was separated from mitochondria, zymogen granules and nuclei by differential centrifugation. Plasma membranes and endoplasmic reticulum were separated by centrifugation on a sucrose step gradient or by precipitation with high concentrations of MgCl2. IP3-induced Ca2+ release per mg protein in the total homogenate was the same as in leaky cells and was sufficiently stable to make short separation procedures possible. In fractions obtained by either differential centrifugation at 7000 X g, sucrose-density centrifugation, or MgCl2 precipitation there was a close correlation of Ip3-induced Ca2+ release with the endoplasmic reticulum markers ribonucleic acid (r = 0.96, 1.00, 0.91, respectively) and NADPH cytochrome c reductase (r = 0.63, 0.98, 0.90, respectively). In contrast, there was a clear negative correlation with the mitochondrial markers cytochrome c oxidase (r = -0.64) and glutamate dehydrogenase (r = -0.75) and with the plasma membrane markers (Na+ + K+)-ATPase (r = -0.81) and alkaline phosphatase (r = -0.77) in all fractions analyzed. IP3-induced Ca2+ release was distributed independently of zymogen granule or nuclei content of the fractions as assessed by electron microscopy. The data suggest that inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate releases Ca2+ from endoplasmic reticulum in pancreatic acinar cells.

Abstract
Modifications to the two-phase polymer gradient procedure for isolating plasma membrane from mammalian cells have resulted in greatly increased yields of purified plasma membrane. First, the cells were not treated with a membrane stabilizer (ZnCl2) prior to homogenization. This reduced the severity of homogenization required for disruption and allowed a greater proportion of the surface membrane to form large, flattened sheets that are more easily purified than the smaller fragments formed during more severe homogenization. Second, three crude fractions obtained from the homogenate (600g, 2000g, and 12,000g pellets), rather than a single, low-speed pellet (600g) containing only large sheets of membrane, were subjected to gradient centrifugation to obtain plasma membrane. This modification allowed purification of small as well as large fragments of plasmalemma and greatly increased the yield of purified membrane. Mg+2-dependent, Na+-K+-stimulated ATPase, a marker enzyme for plasma membrane, was enriched in the purified fraction by congruent to 17-fold relative to homogenate on a specific activity basis, and the yield of isolated plasma membrane averaged 70%, and was occasionally as high as 90%.

Abstract
Intracellular ATP-dependent Ca2+-sequestration mechanisms were studied in isolated dispersed rat pancreatic acini following treatment with saponin or digitonin to disrupt their plasma membranes. In the presence of 45Ca2+ concentrations less than 10(-6) mol/liter, addition of 5 mmol/liter ATP caused a rapid increase in 45Ca2+ uptake exceeding the control by fivefold. ADP mimicked the ATP effect by 50 to 60%, whereas other nucleotides such as AMP-PNP, AMP-PCP, CTP, UTP, ITP, GTP, cAMP and cGMP did not. Maximal ATP-promoted Ca2+ uptake was obtained at 10(-5) mol/liter Ca2+. Inhibition of Ca2+ uptake by mitochondrial inhibitors was dependent on the Ca2+ concentration, indicating the presence of different Ca2+ storage systems. Whereas the apparent half-saturation constant found for mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake was approximately 4.5 X 10(-7) mol/liter, in the presence of antimycin and oligomycin (nonmitochondrial uptake) it was approximately 1.4 X 10(-8) mol/liter. In the absence of Mg2+ both ATP- and ADP-promoted Ca2+ uptake was nearly abolished. The Ca2+ ionophore and mersalyl blocked Ca2+ uptake, Electron microscopy showed electron-dense precipitates in the rough endoplasmic reticulum of saponin-treated cells in the presence of Ca2+, oxalate and ATP, which were absent in intact cells and in saponin-cells without ATP or pretreated with A23187. The data suggest the presence of mitochondrial and nonmitochondrial ATP-dependent C2+ storage systems in pancreatic acini. The latter is likely to be located in the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
Certain polar epithelial cells have strong transport capacities for protons and can be examined in vitro as part of an intact epithelial preparation. Recent studies in the isolated turtle bladder and other tight urinary epithelial indicate that the apical membranes of the carbonic anhydrase-containing cell population of these tissues contain an electrogenic proton pump which has the characteristics of a proton-translocating ATPase. The translocation of protons is tightly coupled to the energy of ATP hydrolysis. Since the pump translocates protons without coupling to the movement of other ions, it may be regarded as an "ideal" electrogenic pump. The apparent simplicity of the functional properties has led to extensive studies of the characteristics of this pump and of the cellular organization of the secondary acid-base flows in the turtle bladder. Over a rather wide range of electrochemical potential gradients, for protons (delta approximately microH) across the epithelium, the rate of H+ transport is nearly linear with delta approximately microH. The formalisms of equivalent circuit analysis and nonequilibrium thermodynamics have been useful in describing the behavior of the pump, but these approaches have obvious limitations. We have attempted to overcome some of these limitations by developing a more detailed set of assumptions about each of the transport step across the pump complex and to formulate a working model for proton transport in the turtle bladder than can account for several otherwise unexplained experimental results. The model suggests that the real pump is neither a simple electromotive force nor a constant current source. Depending on the conditions, it may behave as one or the other.

Abstract
The localization of the anion-sensitive ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) of bovine corneal endothelium has been investigated. Homogenates were fractionated by differential and density gradient centrifugation, into fractions enriched in plasma membranes and mitochondria. (Na+ + K+)-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) and cytochrome oxidase (EC 1.9.3.1) were used as marker enzymes for these two cell components, and glucose-6-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.5) was used to identify endoplasmic reticulum. 5'-Nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) was also measured but was found not to be exclusively associated with any one cell component. The activity of the anion-sensitive ATPase (HCO3--ATPase) was measured in suspensions that were frozen and thawed before assay in order to expose latent enzyme activity. The fraction containing the greatest amount of (Na+ + K+)-ATPase (35%) contained only 6% of the cytochrome oxidase and HCO3--ATPase. Conversely, the mitochondrial fraction, containing 40% of the cytochrome oxidase, contained about 40% of the HCO3--ATPase, but only 7% of the (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. The recoveries and relative degree of purification of the cytochrome oxidase and HCO3--ATPase were also nearly identical in the other fractions examined. It was concluded that the anion-sensitive ATPase activity of the corneal endothelium is located solely in the mitochondria and not in the plasma membrane. Consequently, any role that the enzymes may have in the transport of bicarbonate across this tissue, which had been suggested in earlier studies, must be an indirect one.

Abstract
1. The responsiveness of adenylate cyclase and enzyme secretin for secretin and the C-terminal octapeptide of pancreozymin has been investigated in particulate fractions of the pancreas of five different species. 2. The adenylate cyclase is sensitive to the C-terminal octapeptide of pancreozymin in all species investigated. 3. The enzyme is much more sensitive to secretin in rat and cat than in mouse and rabbit, whereas with guinea pig intermediate values are obtained. 4. The enzyme secretion is stimulated by secretin in pancreatic fragments of rat and cat, but not in those of mouse and rabbit. 5. These results suggest that in species where secretin stimulated enzyme secretion, it does so by stimulating the adenylate cyclase system.

Abstract
The influence of Ca2+ and other cations on electrolyte permeability has been studied in isolated membrane vesicles from cat pancreas. Ca2+ in the micromolar to millimolar concentration range, as well as Mg2+, Sr2+, Mn2+ and La3+ at a tested concentration 10(-4) M, increased Na+ permeability when applied at the vesicle inside. When added to the vesicle outside, however, they decreased Na+ permeability. Ba2+ was effective from the outside but not from the vesicle inside. When Ca2+ was present at both sides of the membrane, Na+ efflux was not affected as compared to that in the absence of Ca2+. Monovalent cations such as Rb+, Cs+, K+, Tris+ and choline+ decreased Na+ permeability when present at the vesicle outside at a concentration range of 10 to 100 mM. Increasing Na+ concentrations from 10 to 100 mM at the vesicle inside increased Na+ permeability. The temperature dependence of Na+ efflux revealed that the activation energy increased in the lower temperature range (0 to 10 degrees C) when Ca2+ was present at the outside or at both sides, but not when present at the vesicle inside only or in the absence of Ca2+. The results suggest that the Ca2+ outside effect is due to binding of calcium to negatively charged phospholipids with a consequent reduction of both fluidity and Na+ permeability of the membrane. The Ca2+-inside effect most likely involves interaction with proteins with consequent increase in Na+ permeability. The data are consistent with current hypotheses on secretagogue-induced fluid secretion in acinar cells of the pancreas according to which secretagogues elicit NaCl and fluid secretion by liberating Ca2+ from cellular membranes and by stimulating Ca2+ influx into the cell. The increased intracellular Ca2+ concentration in turn increases the contraluminal Na+ permeability which leads to NaCl influx. The luminal sodium pump finally transports Na+ ions into the lumen.

Abstract
The intracellular localization of anion-sensitive Mg2+-ATPase in rat pancreas was studied by differential centrifugation, density gradient centrifugation and by the use of inhibitors of mitochondrial Mg2+-ATPase. The anion-sensitive MG2+-ATPase appears to be localized almost exclusively in a mitochondrial (15 min, 15 000 times g) fraction which shows two peaks after density gradient centrifugation. Both peaks coincide with the highest levels of cytochrome c oxidase activity, but not with alkaline phosphatase, (Na+ plus K+)-ATPase and leucine aminopeptidase activities or RNA. They appear to be equal sensitive to inhibition by oligomycin, aurovertin D and the rat liver mitochondrial inhibitor protein, at least when 1 mM EDTA is present in the isolation media. We conclude that no significant plasma membrane-located anion-sensitive Mg2+-ATPase activity is present in rat pancreas.

Abstract
Transport of alanine was studied in isolated plasma membrane vesicles from cat pancreas using a rapid filtration technique. The uptake is osmotically sensitive and the kinetics of L-alanine transport are biphasic showing a saturable and a nonsaturable component. The saturable component is seen only when a sodium gradient directed from the medium to the vesicular space is present. Under this condition an overshooting uptake of L-but not of D-alanine occurs. The Na+ gradient stimulated uptake of L-alanine is inhibited by L-serine and L-leucine and stimulated when the membrane vesicles had been preloaded with L-alanine, L-serine or L-leucine. The ionophore monensin inhibits stimulation of uptake caused by a sodium gradient. In the presence of valinomycin or carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (CFCCP), the sodium-dependent transport is augmented in vesicles preloaded with K2SO4 or H+ ions (intravesicular pH 5.5), respectively. In the presence of different anions, the Na+-dependent transport is stimulated according to increasing anionic penetration through membrane (lipid solubility). We conclude that a sodium dedpendent electrogenic amino acid transport system is present in pancreatic plasma membranes.
