Abstract
The significance of the H(+)-ATPase in iron absorption by rabbit reticulocytes is explored using isolated endosomes, effects of inhibitors, and the purified proton pump. We have recently reported H(+)-ATPase-mediated iron transfer across a liposomal membrane (Li et al., 1994). In this report, the effect of H(+)-ATPase inhibitors on iron mobilization is investigated at pH 6.0 in the presence of 15 microM FCCP in order to dissociate 59Fe(III) from transferrin and eliminate the kinetic effects of acidification by the ATPase. Iron transport by isolated endosomes is decreased 50% by the cation pore inhibitor dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) for ascorbate-mediated iron mobilization and increased by 40-50% when NADH and ferrocyanide are used as electron donors. In contrast, the ATPase hydrolysis inhibitors N-methylmaleimide (NEM) and 7-chloro-4-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD) increase iron mobilization when NADH and ferrocyanide are used as reductants but have negligible effects for ascorbate. The differential inhibition or enhancement by DCCD, NEM, and NBD with respect to the reductants used for mobilization indicates that the H(+)-ATPase may be involved in the multiple pathways or iron transport found in isolated rabbit reticulocyte endosomes. Effects of inhibitors of ATP hydrolysis suggest significant structural interactions between the proton pump and sites for iron binding and/or reduction. The isolated H(+)-ATPase binds iron as revealed by using nondenaturing electrophoretic and chromatographic methods. One class of iron binding sites is suggested to be the 17.5 kDa proton pore subunits of the H(+)-ATPase which also covalently react with DCCD.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Highly sensitive differential scanning calorimetry has been employed to study the phase transitions of A. laidlawii membrane. The DSC curves obtained show five distinct transitions between 20 and 80 degrees C which contain a reversible lipid thermotropic transition at about 37 degrees C and four irreversible denaturation transitions of the membrane proteins occurred at about 44 degrees C, 52 degrees C, 62 degrees C, and 67 degrees C, respectively. Total enthalpy of the thermal denaturation of membrane proteins is 3.4 +/- 0.5 cal/g. Further study of A. laidlawii membrane preparations by means of thermal gel analysis and enzyme activity measurements at various temperatures provided information that the third peak (C transition) of the DSC curve involved primarily with Mg(2+)-ATPase on A. laidlawii membranes.

Abstract
Recent progress in membrane bioenergetics studies has resulted in the important discovery that Na+ can effectively substitute for H+ as the energy coupling ion. This means that living cells can possess three convertible energy currencies, i.e. ATP, protonic and sodium potentials. Analysis of interrelations of these components in various types of living cells allows bioenergetic laws of universal applicability to be inferred.

Abstract
The glycolipids of Acholeplasma laidlawii AIH089 membranes were identified and purified. The effect of monoglucosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) and diglucosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG) on the thermotropic behavior of multilamellar vesicles of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPG) has been investigated by high sensitivity differential scanning calorimetry. The main transition peaks were broadened, the enthalpies were decreased. DGDG caused the decrease in the transition temperatures of DPPC, DPPG liposomes by 3.08 degrees C, 4.18 degrees C, respectively. MGDG did not cause the alteration of the transition temperature of DPPC liposomes but caused the decrease of the transition temperatures of DPPG liposomes by 2.20 degrees C. ESR experiments indicate that MGDG decreased the rotational correlation time of DPPC and DPPG liposomes.

Abstract
The (Na+ + Mg2+)-ATPase purified from Acholeplasma laidlawii B membranes was reconstituted into large, unilamellar vesicles formed from dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and varying amounts of cholesterol or epicholesterol. The ATP hydrolytic activity of the reconstituted enzyme was then determined over a range of temperatures and the phase state of the DMPC in the ATPase-containing vesicles was characterized by high-sensitivity differential scanning calorimetry. In the vesicles containing only DMPC, the ATPase activity is higher in association with lipids in the liquid-crystalline state than with gel-state phospholipids, resulting in a curvilinear, biphasic Arrhenius plot with a pronounced change in slope at the elevated gel to liquid-crystalline phase transition temperature of the DMPC. The incorporation of increasing amounts of cholesterol into the DMPC vesicles results in a progressively greater degree of inhibition of ATPase activity at higher temperatures but a stimulation of activity at lower temperatures, thus producing Arrhenius plots with progressively less curvature and without an abrupt change in slope at physiological temperatures. As cholesterol concentration in the ATPase-DMPC vesicles increases, the calorimetric phase transition of the phospholipid is further broadened and eventually abolished. The incorporation of epicholesterol into the DMPC proteoliposomes results in similar but less pronounced effects on ATPase activity, and its effect on the phase behavior of the DMPC-ATPase vesicles is also similarly attenuated in comparison with cholesterol. Moreover, cholesterol added to the purified enzyme in the absence of phospholipid does not show any significant effect on either the activity or the temperature dependence of the detergent-solubilized ATPase. These findings are consistent with the suggestion that cholesterol exerts its effect on the ATPase activity by altering the physical state of the phospholipid, since the ordering effect of cholesterol (or epicholesterol) on liquid-crystalline lipid results in a reduction of ATPase activity while the disordering of gel-state lipid results in an increase in activity.

Abstract
The purified (Na+ + Mg2+)-ATPase from Acholeplasma laidlawii B membranes was reconstituted with dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine using a cholate solubilization and dialysis procedure. The incorporation of this enzyme into the phospholipid bilayer is accompanied by an enhancement of its specific activity and by a restoration of its lipid phase state-dependent properties which were lost during solubilization and purification from native membranes. Moreover, reconstitution of this ATPase with phospholipid also stabilizes it against cold inactivation at low temperatures (approximately equal to 0 degrees C), oxidative degradation at room temperature, and thermal denaturation at elevated temperatures (approximately equal to 55 degrees C). The elution profile from a Sepharose 4B-CL column indicates that all of the ATPase protein is associated with the phospholipid vesicles and that the Stoke's radius of the proteoliposomes formed is smaller than that of the lipid vesicles formed in the absence of any protein. The latter conclusion is supported by sedimentation velocity measurements and by an electron microscopic examination of negatively stained preparations. The electron microscopic studies demonstrate that sealed vesicles are formed only at low protein-to-lipid ratios. These observations indicate that the Acholeplasma laidlawii B (Na+ + Mg2+)-ATPase has been structurally and functionally reconstituted into lipid vesicles and that the proteoliposomes formed are amenable to studies aimed at the clarification of its proposed role as a sodium ion pump.

Abstract
An electron microscopic study of the basal bodies of the Vibrio albinolyticus flagellum revealed a four-disc structure. The diameters of the two discs localized closer to the cytoplasmic membrane proved to be about 2-fold shorter than those of the two others. In this respect the basal body of V. alginolyticus resembles very much that of V. cholerae described by Ferris and co-workers. The sequence of the V. alginolyticus ribosomal 5S-RNA showed that it is similar to those of V. cholerae, V. harveyi and some other vibriones. On the basis of the 5S-RNA sequences, a dendrogram of prokaryotes is presented. It confirmed the suggestion that V. alginolyticus is a typical representative of Vibrionaceae rather than a 'monster' greatly differing from other vibriones. Possible evolutionary relation of various bacterial species possessing the primary Na+ pumps is discussed.

Abstract
The purified, lipid-reconstituted (Na+ + Mg2+)-ATPase from Acholeplasma laidlawii B was treated with a variety of reagents which specifically modify various amino acid residues on the enzyme. In all cases reaction of this enzyme with any of the reagents tested results in at least a partial inactivation of its activity. The modification of one reactive lysine by dinitrofluorobenzene, of one reactive arginine by phenylglyoxal, or of two tyrosine residues by 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole or fluorosulfonylbenzoyl adenosine results in a complete inactivation of the enzyme. Partial inactivation of enzymatic activity with N-ethylmaleimide, p-chloromercuribenzene sulfonic acid, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, and Woodward's reagent K suggests an indirect involvement of sulfhydryl and carboxylic acid groups in the maintenance of enzymatic activity, although inhibition by these reagents may also be the result of nonspecific effects such as subunit crosslinking. These studies also show that all of the subunits of the ATPase can be labeled by aqueous-phase reagents directed at amino groups and phenolic groups, and provide evidence for a specific affinity labeling of the alpha subunit of the enzyme by a nucleotide analog directed at phenolic and/or sulfhydryl groups.

Abstract
In membranes of the cell-wall-less prokaryote Acholeplasma laidlawii most proteins are of the integral type. A substantial fraction of these proteins are enriched in hydrophilic amino acid residues. Approximately 20 different major as well as minor proteins were found to be covalently modified with acyl chains. The same set of proteins are acylated when cells are grown in different fatty-acid-supplemented media. In individual proteins the ratio of palmitoyl/oleoyl acyl chains was 12-14 times larger than the acyl chain ratio in polar membrane lipids. The transmembrane protein D12 has close to two acyl chains per molecule. Proteins T2 and T4a, localized in the outer and inner leaflet of the membrane, respectively, occur each as pairs with a difference in relative molecular mass within each pair of approximately 2000. Each of these proteins as well as the other acyl proteins, except the light form of T4a, has close to one acyl chain per molecule. The extent of acylation was increased for certain proteins and decreased for others by treatment with globomycin or phenethylalcohol. The relative amounts of the T2 and T4a pairs were affected by these drugs. It is concluded that the mechanism of acylation is different from that in Escherichia coli lipoprotein and Bacillus penicillinase. The mean hydrophobicity [Kyte & Doolittle (1982) J. Mol. Biol. 157, 105-132] of the A. laidlawii acyl proteins are similar to those of other bacterial acyl proteins but significantly lower than for non-acylated integral membrane proteins, supporting an anchoring function of the acyl chains. The number of membrane acyl proteins in A. laidlawii and two other mycoplasmas are at least twice that in other bacteria.

Abstract
The purified membrane (Na+ + Mg2+)-ATPase of Acholeplasma laidlawii B was reconstituted into vesicles composed of phospholipids containing a photoactivatable aryl nitrene-generating fatty acyl group. The reconstitution with phospholipid resulted in an enhancement of ATPase activity and a reduction in the sensitivity of the enzyme to radiation inactivation. The incorporation of the enzyme into the lipid vesicles results in a broadening of the gel-to-liquid-crystalline phase transition of the photolabeled phospholipid and the appearance of two partially resolved endotherms in the calorimetric traces. The temperatures and the total enthalpy of these overlapping transitions are higher than in the absence of incorporated enzyme. After photolysis of the lipid-reconstituted ATPase and separation of the polypeptide subunits by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) gel electrophoresis, a significant labeling of the alpha-subunit of the enzyme was demonstrated. These results indicate that at least the alpha-subunit of this ATPase must penetrate into or traverse the phospholipid bilayer.

Abstract
The concept is developed according to which Na+, like H+, can play the role of a coupling ion in energy-transducing biomembranes. This idea is based on observations that (i) Na+ can be extruded from the cell by primary pumps (Na-motive NADH-quinone reductase, decarboxylase or ATPase), and (ii) the downhill Na+ flux into the cell can be coupled with the performance of all the three types of membrane-linked work i.e. chemical (ATP synthesis), osmotic (accumulation of solutes) and mechanical (motility). Marine alkalotolerant Vibrio alginolyticus represents the first example of such a complete sodium cycle pattern. Simplified versions of the sodium cycle or some of its constituents are found in the cytoplasmic membrane of a great variety of taxa including anaerobic, aerobic and photosynthetic bacteria, cyanobacteria and animals; this fact indicates that Na+ energetics should be regarded as a common case, rather than a rare exception applied to some natural niches only.

Abstract
The membrane-bound ATPase of Mycoplasma gallisepticum selectively hydrolyzed purine nucleoside triphosphates and dATP. ADP, although not a substrate, inhibited ATP hydrolysis. The enzyme exhibited a pH optimum of 7.0 to 7.5 and an obligatory requirement for divalent cations. Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide at a concentration of 1 mM inhibited 95% of the ATPase activity at 37 degrees C, with 50% inhibition occurring at 22 microM dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Sodium or potassium (or both) failed to stimulate activity by greater than 37%. Azide (2.6 mM), diethylstilbestrol (100 micrograms/ml), p-chloromercuribenzoate (1 mM), and vanadate (50 microM) inhibited 50, 91, 89, and 60%, respectively. The ATPase activity could not be removed from the membrane without detergent solubilization. Although most detergents inactivated the enzyme, the dipolar ionic detergent N-dodecyl-N,N-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propanesulfonate (0.1%) solubilized approximately 70% of the enzyme with only a minor loss in activity. The extraction led to a twofold increase in specific activity and retention of inhibition by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and ADP. Glycerol greatly increased the stability of the solubilized enzyme. The properties of the membrane-bound ATPase are not consistent with any known ATPase. We postulate that the ATPase functions as an electrogenic proton pump.
