Abstract
The geographical distribution of aquatic crustaceans is determined by ambient factors like salinity that modulate their biochemistry, physiology, behavior, reproduction, development and growth. We investigated the effects of exogenous pig FXYD2 peptide and endogenous protein kinases A and C on gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity, and characterized enzyme kinetic properties in a freshwater population of Macrobrachium amazonicum in fresh water (<0.5 ‰ salinity) or acclimated to 21 ‰S. Stimulation by FXYD2 peptide and inhibition by endogenous kinase phosphorylation are salinity-dependent. While without effect in shrimps in fresh water, the FXYD2 peptide stimulated activity in salinity-acclimated shrimps by ≈50 %. PKA-mediated phosphorylation inhibited gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase activity by 85 % in acclimated shrimps while PKC phosphorylation markedly inhibited enzyme activity in freshwater- and salinity-acclimated shrimps. The (Na+, K+)-ATPase in salinity-acclimated shrimp gills hydrolyzed ATP at a Vmax of 54.9 ± 1.8 nmol min-1 mg-1 protein, corresponding to ≈60 % that of freshwater shrimps. Mg2+ affinity increased with salinity acclimation while K+ affinity decreased. (Ca2+, Mg2+)-ATPase activity increased while V(H+)- and Na+- or K+-stimulated activities decreased on salinity acclimation. The 120-kDa immunoreactive band expressed in salinity-acclimated shrimps suggests nonspecific α-subunit phosphorylation by PKA and/or PKC. These alterations in (Na+, K+)-ATPase kinetics in salinity-acclimated M. amazonicum may result from regulatory mechanisms mediated by phosphorylation via protein kinases A and C and the FXYD2 peptide rather than through the expression of a different α-subunit isoform. This is the first demonstration of gill (Na+, K+)-ATPase regulation by protein kinases in freshwater shrimps during salinity challenge.

Abstract
We review 50 years of use of 2',3'-O-trinitrophenyl (TNP)-ATP, a fluorescently tagged ATP analog. It has been extensively used to detect binding interactions of ATP to proteins and to measure parameters of those interactions such as the dissociation constant, Kd, or inhibitor dissociation constant, Ki. TNP-ATP has also found use in other applications, for example, as a fluorescence marker in microscopy, as a FRET pair, or as an antagonist (e.g., of P2X receptors). However, its use in protein binding studies has limitations because the TNP moiety often enhances binding affinity, and the fluorescence changes that occur with binding can be masked or mimicked in unexpected ways. The goal of this review is to provide a clear perspective of the pros and cons of using TNP-ATP to allow for better experimental design and less ambiguous data in future experiments using TNP-ATP and other TNP nucleotides.

Abstract
Although known as a Na,K-ATPase inhibitor, several other cellular and systemic actions have been ascribed to the steroid Ouabain (Oua). Particularly in the immune system, our group showed that Ouabain acts on decreasing lymphocyte proliferation, synergizing with glucocorticoids in spontaneous thymocyte apoptosis, and also lessening CD14 expression and blocking CD16 upregulation on human monocytes. However, Ouabain effects on dendritic cells (DCs) were not explored so far. Considering the peculiar plasticity and the importance of DCs in immune responses, the aim of our study was to investigate DC maturation under Ouabain influence. To generate immature DCs, human monocytes were cultured with IL-4 and GM-CSF (5 days). To investigate Ouabain role on DC activation, DCs were stimulated with TNF-α for 48 h in the presence or absence of Ouabain. TNF-induced CD83 expression and IL-12 production were abolished in DCs incubated with 100 nM Ouabain, though DC functional capacity concerning lymphocyte activation remained unaltered. Nevertheless, TNF-α-induced antigen capture downregulation, another maturation marker, occurred even in the presence of Ouabain. Besides, Ouabain increased HLA-DR and CD86 expression, whereas CD80 expression was maintained. Collectively, our results suggest that DCs respond to Ouabain maturating into a distinct category, possibly contributing to the balance between immunity and tolerance.

Abstract
ATP-activated P2Y receptors play an important role in renal sodium excretion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the modulation of ATPase-driven sodium reabsorption in the proximal tubule by ATP or adenosine (Ado). LLC-PK1 cells, a model of porcine proximal tubule cells, were used. ATP (10(-6)M) or Ado (10(-6)M) specifically stimulated Na(+)-ATPase activity without any changes in (Na(+)+K(+))-ATPase activity. Our results show that the Ado effect is mediated by its conversion to ATP. Furthermore, it was observed that the effect of ATP was mimicked by UTP, ATPγS and 2-thio-UTP, an agonist of P2Y2 and P2Y4 receptors. In addition, ATP-stimulated Na(+)-ATPase activity involves protein kinase C (PKC). Our results indicate that ATP-induced stimulation of proximal tubule Na(+)-ATPase activity is mediated by a PKC-dependent P2Y2 and/or P2Y4 pathway. These findings provide new perspectives on the role of the effect of P2Y-mediated extracellular ATP on renal sodium handling.

The effect of saponins from Ampelozizyphus amazonicus Ducke on the renal Na+ pumps' activities and urinary excretion of natriuretic peptides. Altern Ther Health Med 2012; 12:40.

Abstract
Background In a previous study, we showed that a saponin mixture isolated from the roots of Ampelozizyphus amazonicus Ducke (SAPAaD) reduces urine excretion in rats that were given an oral loading of 0.9 % NaCl (4 ml/100 g body weight). In the present study, we investigated whether atrial natriuretic peptides (ANP) and renal ATPases play a role in the SAPAaD- induced antidiuresis in rats. Methods To evaluate the effect of SAPAaD on furosemide-induced diuresis, Wistar rats (250-300 g) were given an oral loading of physiological solution (0.9 % NaCl, 4 ml/100 g body weight) to impose a uniform water and salt state. The solution containing furosemide (Furo, 13 mg/kg) was given 30 min after rats were orally treated with 50 mg/kg SAPAaD (SAPAaD + Furo) or 0.5 ml of 0.9 % NaCl (NaCl + Furo). In the SAPAaD + NaCl group, rats were pretreated with SAPAaD and 30 min later they received the oral loading of physiological solution. Animals were individually housed in metabolic cages, and urine volume was measured every 30 min throughout the experiment (3 h). To investigate the role of ANP and renal Na+ pumps on antidiuretic effects promoted by SAPAaD, rats were given the physiological solution (as above) containing SAPAaD (50 mg/kg). After 90 min, samples of urine and blood from the last 30 min were collected. Kidneys and atria were also removed after previous anesthesia. ANP was measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA) and renal cortical activities of Na+- and (Na+,K+)-ATPases were calculated from the difference between the [32P] Pi released in the absence and presence of 1 mM furosemide/2 mM ouabain and in the absence and presence of 1 mM ouabain, respectively. Results It was observed that SAPAaD inhibited furosemide-induced diuresis (at 90 min: from 10.0 ± 1.0 mL, NaCl + Furo group, n = 5, to 5.9 ± 1.0 mL, SAPAaD + Furo group n = 5, p < 0.05), increased both Na+-ATPase (from 25.0 ± 5.9 nmol Pi.mg-1.min-1, control, to 52.7 ± 8.9 nmol Pi.mg-1.min-1, p < 0.05) and (Na+,K+)-ATPase (from 47.8 ± 13.3 nmol Pi.mg-1.min-1, control, to 79.8 ± 6.9 nmol Pi .mg-1.min-1, p < 0.05) activities in the renal cortex. SAPAaD also lowered urine ANP (from 792 ± 132 pg/mL, control, to 299 ± 88 pg/mL, p < 0.01) and had no effect on plasma or atrial ANP. Conclusion We concluded that the SAPAaD antidiuretic effect may be due to an increase in the renal activities of Na+- and (Na+,K+)-ATPases and/or a decrease in the renal ANP.

3-Bromopyruvate inhibits calcium uptake by sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles but not SERCA ATP hydrolysis activity. Int J Biochem Cell Biol 2012; 44:801-7.

Abstract
3-Bromopyruvate (3BrPA) is an antitumor agent that alkylates the thiol groups of enzymes and has been proposed as a treatment for neoplasias because of its specific reactivity with metabolic energy transducing enzymes in tumor cells. In this study, we show that the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium (Ca(2+)) ATPase (SERCA) type 1 is one of the target enzymes of 3BrPA activity. Sarco/endoplasmic reticulum vesicles (SRV) were incubated in the presence of 1mM 3BrPA, which was unable to inhibit the ATPase activity of SERCA. However, Ca(2+)-uptake activity was significantly inhibited by 80% with 150 μM 3BrPA. These results indicate that 3BrPA has the ability to uncouple the ATP hydrolysis from the calcium transport activities. In addition, we observed that the inclusion of 2mM reduced glutathione (GSH) in the reaction medium with different 3BrPA concentrations promoted an increase in 40% in ATPase activity and protects the inhibition promoted by 3BrPA in calcium uptake activity. This derivatization is accompanied by a decrease of reduced cysteine (Cys), suggesting that GSH and 3BrPA increases SERCA activity and transport by pyruvylation and/or S-glutathiolation mediated by GSH at a critical Cys residues of the SERCA.

Abstract
In recent decades, evidence has confirmed the crucial role of albumin in the progression of renal disease. However, the possible role of signaling pathways triggered by physiologic concentrations of albumin in the modulation of proximal tubule (PT) sodium reabsorption has not been considered. In the present work, we have shown that a physiologic concentration of albumin increases the expression of the α1 subunit of (Na(+) + K(+))-ATPase in LLC-PK1 cells leading to an increase in enzyme activity. This process involves the sequential activation of PI3K/protein kinase B and protein kinase C pathways promoting inhibition of protein kinase A. This integrative network is inhibited when albumin concentration is increased, similar to renal disease, leading to a decrease in the α1 subunit of (Na(+) + K(+))-ATPase expression. Together, the results indicate that variation in albumin concentration in PT cells has an important effect on PT sodium reabsorption and, consequently, on renal sodium excretion.

Guanine-induced inhibition of renal Na(+)-ATPase activity: evidence for the involvement of the Gi protein-coupled receptor. Arch Biochem Biophys 2011; 513:126-30.

Abstract
There is some evidence to show a possible role of guanosine in the modulation of cellular function, in particular, in the neuronal system. However, nothing is known about the role of guanine in renal function. The aim of the present work was to investigate the role of guanine on modulation of Na+-ATPase activity in isolated basolateral membrane (BLM) of the renal cortex. Guanine inhibited the enzyme activity in a dose-dependent manner with maximal effect (56%) obtained at 10⁻⁶ M. This effect was reversed by DPCPX (8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine), an antagonist of A₁ receptors, but it was not changed by 10⁻⁸ M DMPX (3,7-dimethyl-1-propargylxanthine) or 10⁻⁸ M MRS (2,3-diethyl-4,5-dipropyl-6-phenylpyridine-3-thiocarboxylate-5-carboxylate), antagonists of A₂ and A₃ receptors, respectively. Furthermore, it was observed that guanine increased [γ-³⁵S]GTP-specific binding with the maximal effect observed at 10⁻⁶ M and this effect was abolished by 10⁻⁶ M GDPβS. The inhibitory effect of 10⁻⁶ M guanine on Na+-ATPase activity was reversed by 10⁻⁶ M GDPβS, 10⁻⁶ M forskolin, 10⁻⁶ M pertussis toxin and 10⁻⁸ M cholera toxin. These results indicate that guanine binds to a DPCPX-sensitive receptor promoting the activation of Gi protein and leading to a decrease in cAMP level and, consequently, inhibition of BLM Na+-ATPase activity.

Abstract
Trinitrophenyl derivatives of adenine nucleotides are widely used for probing ATP-binding sites. Here we describe crystal structures of Ca(2+)-ATPase, a representative P-type ATPase, in the absence of Ca(2+) with bound ATP, trinitrophenyl-ATP, -ADP, and -AMP at better than 2.4-Å resolution, stabilized with thapsigargin, a potent inhibitor. These crystal structures show that the binding mode of the trinitrophenyl derivatives is distinctly different from the parent adenine nucleotides. The adenine binding pocket in the nucleotide binding domain of Ca(2+)-ATPase is now occupied by the trinitrophenyl group, and the side chains of two arginines sandwich the adenine ring, accounting for the much higher affinities of the trinitrophenyl derivatives. Trinitrophenyl nucleotides exhibit a pronounced fluorescence in the E2P ground state but not in the other E2 states. Crystal structures of the E2P and E2 ∼ P analogues of Ca(2+)-ATPase with bound trinitrophenyl-AMP show that different arrangements of the three cytoplasmic domains alter the orientation and water accessibility of the trinitrophenyl group, explaining the origin of "superfluorescence." Thus, the crystal structures demonstrate that ATP and its derivatives are highly adaptable to a wide range of site topologies stabilized by a variety of interactions.

Abstract
Many proteins that hydrolyze ATP or GTP have comparable amino acid residues for which specific roles have been proposed in a mechanism for the chemistry of hydrolysis. These roles include polarization by a glutamate residue of a water molecule for the attack on the γ-phosphoryl group of the nucleotide, stabilization of the transition state by an arginine finger, discrimination between bound nucleoside triphosphate and diphosphate by a γ sensor residue, and coordination by an aspartate of the Mg(2+) that accompanies the substrate nucleotide. We mutated four candidate residues for these roles in the Escherichia coli transcription termination factor Rho, E211, R366, R212, and D265, and characterized the resulting proteins for oligomerization state, ligand binding, RNA-dependent ATP hydrolysis, and, in rapid mix/chemical quench experiments, achievement of the chemistry step of hydrolysis. All four mutant proteins behaved as expected for Rhos lacking the proposed mechanistic roles. The results provide firm biochemical evidence in support of the proposed model for hydrolysis chemistry.

Abstract
The mechanism of nucleotide binding to the active site of Thermotoga maritima CheA was investigated using stopped-flow fluorescence experiments that monitored binding of ATP and TNP-ATP to the catalytic domain (P4) of CheA that had been engineered to include a tryptophan residue as a fluorescent reporter group at the active site (P4(F487W)). Rapid decreases in protein intrinsic fluorescence and increases in TNP-ATP fluorescence were observed during binding reactions, and time courses were analyzed to define the kinetic mechanisms for ATP and TNP-ATP binding. This analysis indicated that binding of ATP(Mg(2+)) to P4(F487W) involves a single reversible step with a k(on) of 0.92 +/- 0.09 microM(-1) s(-1), a k(off) of 1.9 +/- 0.4 s(-1), and a K(d) of 1.5-2.1 microM (all values determined at 4 degrees C). Binding of TNP-ATP(Mg(2+)) to P4(F487W) involves a more complicated mechanism, requiring at least three sequential steps. Computer simulations and nonlinear regression analysis were used to estimate the rate constants of the forward and reverse reactions for each of the three steps in the reaction scheme [Formula: see text] Similar analysis indicated that an alternative reaction scheme, involving a rate-limiting conformational change in P4 prior to TNP-ATP binding, did an equally good job of accounting for all of the kinetics results:[Formula: see text] In both models, steps 2 and 3 have slow reversal rates that contribute to the high affinity of the active site for TNP-ATP (K(d) = 0.015 microM). These results highlight the dramatic effect of the TNP moieties on CheA-nucleotide interactions, and they provide the first detailed information about the kinetic mechanism underlying interaction of a protein histidine kinase with this tight-binding inhibitor.

Abstract
The signaling pathway mediating modulation of Na(+)-ATPase of proximal tubule cells by atrial natriuretic peptides (ANP) and urodilatin through receptors located in luminal and basolateral membranes (BLM) is investigated. In isolated BLM, 10(-11)M ANP or 10(-11)M urodilatin inhibited the enzyme activity (50%). Immunodetection revealed the presence of NPR-A in BLM and LLC-PK1 cells. Both compounds increased protein kinase G (PKG) activity (80%) and this effect did not occur with 10(-6)M LY83583, a specific inhibitor of guanylyl cyclase. The inhibitory effect of these peptides on Na(+)-ATPase activity did not occur after addition of 10(-6)M KT5823, a specific inhibitor of PKG. LLC-PK1 cells were used to investigate if ANP and urodilatin change the activity of sodium pumps by luminal receptor interaction. ANP and urodilatin inhibited Na(+)-ATPase activity (50%), with maximal effect at 10(-10)M, similar to 10(-7)M db-cGMP, and did not occur with 10(-7)M LY83583, a guanylyl cyclase inhibitor. ANP and urodilatin specifically inhibit Na(+)-ATPase activity by activation of the cGMP/PKG pathway through NPR-A located in luminal membrane and BLM, increasing understanding of the mechanism of natriuretic peptides on renal sodium excretion, with proximal tubule Na(+)-ATPase one possible target.

Abstract
We showed previously that angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)] reversed stimulation of proximal tubule Na+-ATPase promoted by angiotensin II (Ang II) through a D-ala(7)-Ang-(1-7) (A779)-sensitive receptor. Here we investigated the signaling pathway coupled to this receptor. According to our data, Ang-(1-7) produces a MAS-mediated reversal of Ang II-stimulated Na+-ATPase by a Gs/PKA pathway because: (1) the Ang-(1-7) effect is reversed by GDPbetaS, an inhibitor of trimeric G protein and Gs polyclonal antibody. Cholera toxin, an activator of Gs protein, mimicked it; (2) in the presence of Ang II, Ang-(1-7) increased the PKA activity 10-fold; (3) the peptide inhibitor of PKA blocked the Ang-(1-7) effect on Ang II-stimulated Na+-ATPase; (4) Ang-(1-7) reverses the Ang II-stimulated PKC activity; (5) cAMP mimicked the Ang-(1-7) effect on the Ang II-stimulated Na+-ATPase. Our results provide new understanding about the signaling mechanisms coupled to MAS receptor-mediated renal Ang-(1-7) effects.

Abstract
To define the molecular mechanism by which ATP hydrolysis powers the 5'-->3' travel of homohexameric Escherichia coli transcription termination factor Rho along RNA, rates for association and dissociation of non-RNA substrates and products were measured. Rapid mix/chemical quench and stopped-flow spectrofluorometry measurements were carried out with Rho and [gamma-(32)P]ATP, mantADP, or fluorescently tagged E. coli phosphate-binding protein. The results indicate that the P(i) off-rate is not rate limiting, but at approximately 90 s(-1), the ADP dissociation rate is comparable to the 30 s(-1) k(cat). Previous results indicate that the chemistry step of ATP hydrolysis by Rho is at least 10-fold faster than the overall catalytic cycle. The as yet unmeasured RNA dissociation step, which could be associated with a protein conformation change, might also be a rate-limiting factor.

Abstract
The cellular actions of ouabain are complex and involve different pathways, depending on the cell type and experimental conditions. Several studies have reported that Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cellular sensitivity to ouabain is not related to Na-K-ATPase inhibition, and others showed that some cell types, such as Ma104, are resistant to ouabain toxicity albeit their Na-K-ATPase isoforms possess high affinity for this glycoside. We describe here that the effects of ouabain and ouabagenin also diverge in MDCK and Ma104 cells, being MDCK cells more resistant to ouabagenin, while Ma104 cells are resistant to both molecules. This feature seems to correlate with induction of cell signaling, since ouabain, but not ouabagenin, induced an intense and sustained increase in tyrosine phosphorylation levels in MDCK cells. Moreover, ouabain-induced phosphorylation in Ma104 cells was approximately half than that observed in MDCK cells. The proportion between alpha and beta subunits of Na-K-ATPase was similar in MDCK cells, though Ma104 cells presented more alpha subunits, located mainly at the cytoplasm. Furthermore, a fluorescent ouabain-analog labeled mainly the cytoplasm of Ma104 cells, the opposite of that seen in MDCK cells, corroborating the results using anti-Na-K-ATPase antibodies. Hence, the results suggest that ouabain and ouabagenin differ in terms of Na-K-ATPase inhibition and cell signaling activation in MDCK cells. Additionally, MDCK and Ma104 cell lines respond differently to ouabain, perhaps due to an intrinsic ability of this glycoside to selectively reach the cytoplasm of Ma104 cells.

Abstract
In a previous paper we demonstrated that Ang-(3-4) counteracts inhibition of the Ca(2+)-ATPase by Ang II in the basolateral membranes of kidney proximal tubules cells (BLM). We have now investigated the enzymatic routs by which Ang II is converted to Ang-(3-4). Membrane-bound angiotensin converting enzyme, aminopeptidases and neprilysin were identified using fluorescent substrates. HPLC showed that Plummer's inhibitor but not Z-pro-prolinal blocks Ang II metabolism, suggesting that carboxypeptidase N catalyzes the conversion Ang II--> Ang-(1-7). Different combinations of bestatin, thiorphan, Plummer's inhibitor, Ang II and Ang-(1-5), and use of short proteolysis times, indicate that Ang-(1-7)--> Ang-(1-5)--> Ang-(1-4)--> Ang-(3-4) is a major route. When Ang III was combined with the same inhibitors, the following pathway was demonstrated: Ang III--> Ang IV--> Ang-(3-4). Ca(2+)-ATPase assays with different Ang II concentrations and different peptidase inhibitors confirm the existence of these pathways in BLM and show that a prolyl-carboxypeptidase may be an alternative catalyst for converting Ang II to Ang-(1-7). Overall, we demonstrated that BLM have all the peptidase machinery required to produce Ang-(3-4) in the vicinity of the Ca(2+)-ATPase, enabling a local RAS axis to effect rapid modulation of active Ca(2+) fluxes.

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that adenosine is deaminated to inosine in the isolated basolateral membrane (BLM) of kidney proximal tubules. This work investigates the possible effect of inosine on proximal tubule Na(+)-ATPase activity. Inosine reduced Na(+)-ATPase activity by 70%. This effect of inosine was completely attenuated by 10(-8) M DPCPX, an A(1) receptor-selective antagonist, but it was not affected by either 10(-8) M DMPX or 10(-7) M MRS1523, A(2) and A(3) receptor-selective antagonists, respectively. The inhibitory effect of inosine was blocked by: (1) 10(-6) M GDPbetaS, a trimeric G protein inhibitor; (2) 1microg/ml pertussis toxin, a Gi protein inhibitor; (3) 10(-6) M forskolin, an adenylyl cyclase activator; (4) 10(-9) M cholera toxin, a Gs protein activator; (5) 10(-6)M cAMP. Our results demonstrate that the inhibitory effect of inosine on the sodium pump is mediated by the A(1) receptor/Gi/cAMP pathway.

Abstract
The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is composed of two fractions, the heavy fraction that contains proteins involved in Ca2+ release, and the light fraction enriched in Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA), an enzyme responsible for Ca2+ transport from the cytosol to the lumen of SR. It is known that in red muscle thyroid hormones regulate the expression of SERCA 1 and SERCA 2 isoforms. Here we show the effects of thyroid hormone on SERCA expression and distribution in light and heavy SR fractions from rabbit white and red muscles. In hyperthyroid red muscle there is an increase of SERCA 1 and a decrease of SERCA 2 expression. This is far more pronounced in the heavy than in the light SR fraction. As a result, the rates of Ca(2+)- ATPase activity and Ca(2+)-uptake by the heavy vesicles are increased. In hypothyroidism we observed a decrease in SERCA 1 and no changes in the amount of SERCA 2 expressed. This promoted a decrease of both Ca(2+)-uptake and Ca(2+)-ATPase activity. While the major differences in hyperthyroidism were found in the heavy SR fraction, the effects of hypothyroidism were restricted to light SR fraction. In white muscle we did not observe any significant changes in either hypo- or hyperthyroidism in both SR fractions. Thus, the regulation of SERCA isoforms by thyroid hormones is not only muscle specific but also varies depending on the subcellular compartment analyzed. These changes might correspond to the molecular basis of the altered contraction and relaxation rates detected in thyroid dysfunction.

Abstract
Clinical and experimental data show an increase in sodium reabsorption on the proximal tubule (PT) in essential hypertension. It is well known that there is a link between essential hypertension and renal angiotensin II (Ang II). The present study was designed to examine ouabain-insensitive Na(+)-ATPase activity and its regulation by Ang II in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). We observed that Na(+)-ATPase activity was enhanced in 14-week-old but not in 6-week-old SHR. The addition of Ang II from 10(-12) to 10(-6) mol/L decreased the enzyme activity in SHR to a level similar to that obtained in WKY. The Ang II inhibitory effect was completely reversed by a specific antagonist of AT(2) receptor, PD123319 (10(-8) mol/L) indicating that a system leading to activation of the enzyme in SHR is inhibited by AT(2)-mediated Ang II. Treatment of SHR with losartan for 10 weeks (weeks 4-14) prevents the increase in Na(+)-ATPase activity observed in 14-week-old SHR. These results indicate a correlation between AT(1) receptor activation in SHR and increased ouabain-insensitive Na(+)-ATPase activity. Our results open new possibilities towards our understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the increased sodium reabsorption in PT found in essential hypertension.

Abstract
1. Intrauterine malnutrition has been linked to the development of adult cardiovascular and renal diseases, which are related to altered Na(+) balance. Here we investigated whether maternal malnutrition increases placental oxidative stress with subsequent impact on renal ATP-dependent Na(+) transporters in the offspring. 2. Maternal malnutrition was induced in rats during pregnancy by using a basic regional diet available in north-eastern Brazil. Placental oxidative stress was evaluated by measuring thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances, which were 35-40% higher in malnourished dams (MalN). Na(+) pumps were evaluated in control and prenatally malnourished rats (at 25 and 90 days of age). 3. Identical Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase activity was found in both groups at 25 days (approximately 150 nmol P(i)/mg per min). However, although Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase increased by 40% with growth in control rats, it remained constant in pups from MalN. 4. In juvenile rats, the activity of the ouabain-insensitive Na(+)-ATPase was higher in MalN than in controls (70 vs 25 nmol P(i)/mg per min). Nevertheless, activity did not increase with kidney and body growth: at 90 days, it was 50% lower in MalN than in controls. The maximal stimulation of the Na(+)-ATPase by angiotensin (Ang) II was 35% lower in MalN than in control rats and was attained only with a much higher concentration of the peptide (10(-10) mol/L) than in controls (10(-14) mol/L). 5. Protein kinase C activity, which mediates the effects of AngII on Na(+)-ATPase was only one-third of normal values in the MalN group. 6. These results indicate that placental oxidative stress may contribute to fetal undernutrition, which leads to later disturbances in Na(+) pumps from proximal tubule cells.

Abstract
We previously demonstrated that Ang II inhibits the renal plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase. In the present work we have studied the effect of Ang II, at concentrations similar to those found in the renal interstitium, on the Ca(2+)-ATPase from proximal tubule cells. High Ang II concentration (5 x 10(-7) mol/L) led to the recovery of Ca(2+)-ATPase activity previously inhibited by 50% at low Ang II concentration (10(-10) mol/L). Reactivation occurred in parallel with: (i) formation of only two dead-end metabolites [Ang-(3-4) and Tyr] after incubation of isolated membranes with micromolar Ang II; and (ii) dissociation of constitutive AT(1)R/AT(2)R heterodimers, which are preserved with 10(-10) mol/L Ang II. When the membranes were incubated with 10(-14) mol/L Ang-(3-4), inhibition by 10(-10) mol/L Ang II was no longer observed. The counteracting effect of Ang-(3-4) was abolished by PD123319, an antagonist of AT(2)R, and mimicked by CGP42112A, an agonist of AT(2)R. Ang-(1-7) is an intermediate in the formation of Ang-(3-4) via a pathway involving angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), and complete dipeptide breakdown to Tyr and Val is impaired by low Ang II. We conclude that Ang-(3-4) may be a physiological regulator of active Ca(2+) fluxes in renal proximal cells by acting within the renin-angiotensin axis.

Abstract
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is involved in rat and mice thermoregulation, and heat produced by BAT depends on the concerted action of thyroid hormones and catecholamines. Little is known about cold-induced thermogenesis in mammals that have little or no BAT, such as rabbits. In these animals, thermogenesis primarily occurs in skeletal muscle. In this work, we have studied the effect of cold acclimation (4 C for 10 d) in normal and hypothyroid rabbits. It is known that hypothyroid rats die after a few hours of cold exposure. We now show that, different from rats, hypothyroid rabbits sustain their body temperature and survive after 10 d cold exposure. When compared with rabbits kept at room temperature, the muscles of cold-exposed rabbits showed a dark red color characteristic of oxidative muscle fibers. According to this pattern, we observed that in both normal and hypothyroid rabbits, cold exposure promotes an increase in oxygen consumption by skeletal muscle mitochondria. Moreover, in red muscle, cold acclimation induces an increase in the expression and activity of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) ATPase isoform 1 (SERCA1), one of the muscle enzymes involved in heat production. We conclude that rabbit cold tolerance is probably related to increased muscle oxidative metabolism and heat production by SERCA1 and that these changes are not completely dependent on normal thyroid function.

Abstract
ATP synthase, a double-motor enzyme, plays various roles in the cell, participating not only in ATP synthesis but in ATP hydrolysis-dependent processes and in the regulation of a proton gradient across some membrane-dependent systems. Recent studies of ATP synthase as a potential molecular target for the treatment of some human diseases have displayed promising results, and this enzyme is now emerging as an attractive molecular target for the development of new therapies for a variety of diseases. Significantly, ATP synthase, because of its complex structure, is inhibited by a number of different inhibitors and provides diverse possibilities in the development of new ATP synthase-directed agents. In this review, we classify over 250 natural and synthetic inhibitors of ATP synthase reported to date and present their inhibitory sites and their known or proposed modes of action. The rich source of ATP synthase inhibitors and their known or purported sites of action presented in this review should provide valuable insights into their applications as potential scaffolds for new therapeutics for human and animal diseases as well as for the discovery of new pesticides and herbicides to help protect the world's food supply. Finally, as ATP synthase is now known to consist of two unique nanomotors involved in making ATP from ADP and P(i), the information provided in this review may greatly assist those investigators entering the emerging field of nanotechnology.

[PMID: 18682265 DOI: 10.1016/j.peptides.2008.07.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2008] [Revised: 07/03/2008] [Accepted: 07/07/2008] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that adenosine (Ado) reverses the stimulatory effect of angiotensin II (Ang II) on Na(+)-ATPase activity via the A(2A) receptor. In this work, the molecular mechanism involved in Ado-induced shutdown in the signaling pathway triggered by 10(-8)M Ang II was investigated. It was observed that: (1) both 10(-12)M PMA (a PKC activator) and 5x10(-8)M U73122 (an inhibitor of PI-PLCbeta) prevent the reversion effect induced by 10(-6)M Ado (only observed in the presence of 10(-6)M DPCPX (an A(1) receptor antagonist)) on Ang II-stimulated Na(+)-ATPase and PKC activities; (2) Ang II-stimulated PKC activity was reversed by 10(-6)M forskolin (an adenylyl cyclase activator) or 10(-8)M PKA inhibitory peptide and 10(-8)M DMPX (an A(2) receptor-selective antagonist). Considering that PMA prevents the inhibitory effect of Ado on Ang II-stimulated Na(+)-ATPase and PKC activities, it is likely that the PMA-induced effect, i.e. PKC activation, is downstream of the target for Ado-induced reversion of Ang II stimulation of Na(+)-ATPase activity. We investigated the hypothesis that PI-PLCbeta could be the target for Ado-induced PKA activation. Our data demonstrate that Ang II-stimulated PI-PLCbeta activity was reversed by Ado or 10(-7)M cAMP; the reversibility of the Ado-induced effect was prevented by either DMPX or PKA inhibitory peptide. These data demonstrate that Ado-induced PKA activation reduces Ang II-induced stimulation of PI-PLCbeta.

Abstract
In a previous study, we observed that angiotensin(1-7) (Ang(1-7)) stimulates proximal tubule Na+-ATPase activity through the angiotensin receptor type 1 (AT1R). Here we aimed to study the signalling pathways involved. Our results show that the stimulatory effect of Ang(1-7) on Na+-ATPase activity through AT1R involves a Gq protein-phosphatidyl inositol-phospholipase Cbeta (PI-PLCbeta) pathway because: (1) the effect was reversed by GDPbetaS, a non-hydrolysable GDP analogue, and by a monoclonal Gq protein antibody; (2) the effect was similar and not additive to that of GTPgammaS, a non-hydrolysable GTP analogue; (3) Ang(1-7) induced a rapid decrease (30 s) in phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate levels, a PI-PLCbeta substrate; and (4) U73122, a specific inhibitor of PI-PLCbeta, abolished Ang(1-7)-induced stimulation of Na+-ATPase activity. Angiotensin(1-7) increased the protein kinase C (PKC) activity similarly to phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA), an activator of PKC. This effect was reversed by losartan, a specific antagonist of AT1R. The stimulatory effects of Ang(1-7) and PMA on Na+-ATPase activity are similar, non-additive and reversed by calphostin C, a specific inhibitor of PKC. A catalytic subunit of PKC (PKC-M) increased the Na+-ATPase activity. These data show that Ang(1-7) stimulates Na+-ATPase activity through the AT1R-Gq protein-PI-PLCbeta-PKC pathway. This effect is similar to that described for angiotensin II, showing for the first time that these compounds could have similar effects in the renal system.

Abstract
Euryhaline crustaceans rarely hyporegulates and employ the driving force of the Na,K-ATPase, located at the basal surface of the gill epithelium, to maintain their hemolymph osmolality within a range compatible with cell function during hyper-regulation. Since polyamine levels increase during the adaptation of crustaceans to hyperosmotic media, we investigate the effect of exogenous polyamines on Na,K-ATPase activity in the posterior gills of Callinectes danae, a euryhaline swimming crab. Polyamine inhibition was dependent on cation concentration, charge and size in the following order: spermine>spermidine>putrescine. Spermidine affected K(0.5) values for Na(+) with minor alterations in K(0.5) values for K(+) and NH(4)(+), causing a decrease in maximal velocities under saturating Na(+), K(+) and NH(4)(+) concentrations. Phosphorylation measurements in the presence of 20 microM ATP revealed that the Na,K-ATPase possesses a high affinity site for this substrate. In the presence of 10 mM Na(+), both spermidine and spermine inhibited formation of the phosphoenzyme; however, in the presence of 100 mM Na(+), the addition of these polyamines allowed accumulation of the phosphoenzyme. The polyamines inhibited pumping activity, both by competing with Na(+) at the Na(+)-binding site, and by inhibiting enzyme dephosphorylation. These findings suggest that polyamine-induced inhibition of Na,K-ATPase activity may be physiologically relevant during migration to fully marine environments.

Abstract
This report is divided in two parts. The first section shows that vesicles derived from the sarcoplasmic reticulum of rats skeletal muscle can cleave ATP at a faster rate and produce more heat that the vesicles derived from rabbit skeletal muscle. In the second part, we compared the rates of Ca(2+) transport and ATP hydrolysis by rats and rabbits heart sarcoplasmic reticulum. It is shown that the two vesicles preparations are able to use glucose 6-phosphate and hexokinase as an ATP regenerative system. The rates of Ca(2+)-uptake and ATP hydrolysis measured with glucose 6-phosphate and hexokinase is four to six times slower than that measured with phosphoenolpyruvate and pyruvate kinase as ATP regenerative system.

Abstract
ATP synthase uses a unique rotary mechanism to couple ATP synthesis and hydrolysis to transmembrane proton translocation. The F(1) subcomplex has three catalytic nucleotide binding sites, one on each beta subunit, with widely differing affinities for MgATP or MgADP. During rotational catalysis, the sites switch their affinities. The affinity of each site is determined by the position of the central gamma subunit. The site with the highest nucleotide binding affinity is catalytically active. From the available x-ray structures, it is not possible to discern the high-affinity site. Using fluorescence resonance energy transfer between tryptophan residues engineered into gamma and trinitrophenyl nucleotide analogs on the catalytic sites, we were able to determine that the high-affinity site is close to the C-terminal helix of gamma, but at considerable distance from its N terminus. Thus, the beta(TP) site in the x-ray structure [Abrahams JP, Leslie AGW, Lutter R, Walker JE (1994) Nature 370:621-628] is the high-affinity site, in agreement with the prediction of Yang et al. [Yang W, Gao YQ, Cui Q, Ma J, Karplus M (2003) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 100:874-879]. Taking into account the known direction of rotation, the findings establish the sequence of affinities through which each catalytic site cycles during MgATP hydrolysis as low --> high --> medium --> low.

Abstract
In the central nervous system (CNS), a number of different pathological processes such as necrosis, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases are related to disturbance in calcium homeostasis associated with oxidative stress. Here we compare the susceptibility of rat brain plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (PMCA) and sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase (SERCA) isoforms to in vitro oxidative stress, and investigate a putative role of trifluoperazine (TFP), an antipsychotic drug that is also a powerful inhibitor of Ca(2+)-transporter proteins, in protecting these enzymes. It is shown that, in rat brain, PMCA is very sensitive to the damage induced by preincubation with Fe(2+)-ascorbate, or Fe(2+)-ascorbate plus H2O2, while SERCA is resistant. Inhibition of PMCA activity promoted by Fe(2+)/ascorbate medium is fully prevented by the presence of microM concentrations of either butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) or TFP, but only partially protected, or reversed, by dithiothreitol (DTT), pointing to some protein cysteine(s) as one of the main targets for a lipid peroxidation-dependent damaging mechanism. However, when 0.5-1 mM H2O2 is added together with Fe(2+)/ascorbate, both BHT and TFP only partially prevent ATPase activity inhibition, and DTT does not confer any protection, suggesting two possible additional mechanisms involving both lipid peroxidation and direct damage to PMCA at amino acid residues other than cysteines. A possible use of micromolar concentrations of TFP as a direct antioxidant protector for PMCA under oxidative stress conditions is discussed.

Effect of a disulfide bond on mevalonate kinase. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-PROTEINS AND PROTEOMICS 2007; 1774:1571-81.

Abstract
Mevalonate kinase is one of ATP-dependent enzymes in the mevalonate pathway and catalyzes the phosphorylation of mevalonate to form mevalonate 5-phosphate. In animal cells, it plays a key role in regulating biosynthesis of cholesterol, while in microorganisms and plants, it is involved in the biosynthesis of isoprenoid derivatives that are one of the largest groups of natural products. Crystal structure and sequence alignment show that a unique disulfide bond exists in mevalonate kinase of thermostable species Methanococcus jannaschii, but not in rat mevalonate kinase. In the present study, we investigated the effect of the disulfide bond in M. jannaschii mevalonate kinase and an engineered disulfide bond in rat mevalonate kinase mutant A141C on the properties of enzymes through characterization of their wild-type and variant enzymes. Our result suggests that the Cys107-Cys281 disulfide bond is important for maintaining the conformation and the thermal activity of M. jannaschii mevalonate kinase. Other interactions could also have contributions. The thiol-titration and fluorescence experiment further indicate that rat mevalonate kinase A141C variant enzyme has a new disulfide bond, which makes the variant protein enhance its thermal activity and resist to urea denaturation.

Abstract
Irradiation of blood derivatives is employed in blood banks to avoid transfusion-associated graft-vs-host disease. As irradiation can damage membranes and membrane proteins by generation of reactive oxygen species, we investigated whether the membrane permeability, Na(+),K(+)-ATPase, and Ca(2+)-ATPase from red blood cell plasma membranes were altered by gamma-irradiation. Whole blood was collected from healthy donors and concentrated to 90% cell fraction. Within 24 h of collection, blood concentrates were irradiated with 25 Gy of gamma-radiation. At days 1, 7, 14, and 28 post-irradiation, fractions were removed and centrifuged. Na(+),K(+)-ATPase and Ca(2+)-ATPase activities from ghost membranes were assessed by gamma-(32)P-ATP hydrolysis. The Na(+),K(+)-ATPase was not immediately affected by irradiation, but it was inhibited by 40% by day 14 and until day 28. The Ca(2+)-ATPase was unaltered by irradiation. The rate and the maximal (45)Ca(2+) uptake from re-sealed inside-out vesicles were reduced, and the passive efflux of (45)Ca(2+) was increased. Thus, irradiation of blood concentrates increased the plasma membrane permeability to monovalent and divalent cations and would change ion homeostasis and cell function. We recommend the use of irradiated blood within a period shorter than 14 days after irradiation.

Abstract
In the present work, we demonstrate that adenine reduced Na(+)-ATPase activity in isolated basolateral membrane (BLM) of proximal tubule in a dose-dependent manner. Adenine metabolism was ruled out by TLC analysis of the potential [(3)H]adenine derived-metabolites. Specific binding of [(3)H]adenine to isolated BLM was observed in a dose-dependent manner with K(d) and B(max) of 242.6+/-27.6 nM and 2749.9+/-104.9 fmolmg(-1), respectively. Adenine increased the [(35)S]GTPgammaS specific binding and it was completely abolished by 10(-6)M GDPbetaS (G protein inhibitor) but it was not modified by DPCPX, DMPX and MRS1523, selective antagonists for A(1), A(2) and A(3) receptors, respectively. Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of adenine on the Na(+)-ATPase activity was blocked by 10(-6)M GDPbetaS, 1 microg/ml pertussis toxin (Gi protein inhibitor), 10(-6)M foskolin (adenylyl cyclase activator) and 10(-8)M cAMP. These data demonstrate that adenine inhibits the proximal tubule Na(+)-ATPase activity through the Gi protein-coupled receptor.

Abstract
We show that MDCK I cells express, besides the classical (Na(+)+K(+))ATPase, a Na(+)-stimulated ATPase activity with the following characteristics: (1) K(0.5) for Na(+) 7.5+/-1.5 mM and V(max) 23.12+/-1.1 nmol Pi/mg per min; (2) insensitive to 1 mM ouabain and 30 mM KCl; and (3) inhibited by furosemide and vanadate (IC(50) 42.1+/-8.0 and 4.3+/-0.3 microM, respectively). This enzyme forms a Na(+)-stimulated, furosemide- and hydroxylamine-sensitive ATP-driven acylphosphate phosphorylated intermediate with molecular weight of 100 kDa. Immunoprecipitation of the (Na(+)+K(+))ATPase with monoclonal anti-alpha(1) antibody reduced its activity in the supernatant by 90%; the Na(+)-ATPase activity was completely maintained. In addition, the formation of the Na(+)-stimulated, furosemide- and hydroxylamine-sensitive ATP-driven acylphosphate intermediate occurred at the same magnitude as that observed before immunoprecipitation. These data suggest that Na(+)-ATPase and (Na(+)+K(+))ATPase activities are independent, with Na(+)-ATPase belonging to a different enzyme entity.

Abstract
The sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) ATPase 1 (SERCA 1) is able to handle the energy derived from ATP hydrolysis in such a way as to determine the parcel of energy that is used for Ca(2+) transport and the fraction that is converted into heat. In this work we measured the heat production by SERCA 1 in the two sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) fractions: the light fraction (LSR), which is enriched in SERCA and the heavy fraction (HSR), which contains both the SERCA and the ryanodine Ca(2+) channel. We verified that although HSR cleaved ATP at faster rate than LSR, the amount of heat released during ATP hydrolysis by HSR was smaller than that measured by LSR. Consequently, the amount of heat released per mol of ATP cleaved (DeltaH(cal)) by HSR was lower compared to LSR. In HSR, the addition of 5 mM Mg(2+) or ruthenium red, conditions that close the ryanodine Ca(2+) channel, promoted a decrease in the ATPase activity, but the amount of heat released during ATP hydrolysis remained practically the same. In this condition, the DeltaH(cal) values of ATP hydrolysis increased significantly. Neither Mg(2+) nor ruthenium red had effect on LSR. Thus, we conclude that heat production by SERCA 1 depends on the region of SR in which the enzyme is inserted and that in HSR, the DeltaH(cal) of ATP hydrolysis by SERCA 1 depends on whether the ryanodine Ca(2+) channel is opened or closed.

Abstract
Our aim was to determine the presence of sodium pumps in Entamoeba histolytica. It is shown through the measurement of ouabain-sensitive ATPase activity and immunoblotting that E. histolytica does not express (Na(+)+K(+))ATPase. On the other hand, we observed a Na(+)-ATPase with the following characteristics: (1) stimulated by Na(+) or K(+), but these effects are not addictive; (2) the apparent affinity is similar for Na(+) and K(+) (K(0.5) = 13.3 +/- 3.7 and 15.4 +/- 3.1mM, respectively), as well as the V(max) (24.9 +/- 1.5 or 27.5 +/- 1.6 nmol Pi mg(-1)min(-1), respectively); (3) insensitive up to 2mM ouabain; and (4) inhibited by furosemide with an IC(50) of 0.12 +/- 0.004 mM. Furthermore, this enzyme forms a Na(+)- or K(+)-stimulated, furosemide- and hydroxylamine-sensitive ATP-driven acylphosphate phosphorylated intermediate.

Abstract
In kidney, Na+, K+-ATPase is an oligomer (alphabeta gamma) with equimolar amounts of essential alpha and beta subunits and one small hydrophobic FXYD protein (gamma subunit). This report describes gamma subunit as an activator of pig kidney outer medulla Na+, K+-ATPase in aqueous medium. The effects of gamma subunit on Na+, K+-ATPase were dose-dependent and preincubation-dependent. Changes in alphabeta/gamma stoichiometry did not alter Km1 for ATP, and slightly increased Km2, but Vmax was increased at both catalytic and regulatory sites. Hydroxylamine treatment of enzyme phosphorylated by ATP (E-P), in the presence of additional gamma subunit, revealed that 52% of the E-P accumulation was not via acyl-phosphate formation. The gamma subunit was phosphorylated by endogenous kinases and by commercial catalytic subunit of protein kinase A (PKA). Additionally, we demonstrated that PKA phosphorylation of gamma subunit increased its capacity to stimulate ATP hydrolysis. These results suggest that gamma subunit can act as an intrinsic Na+, K+-ATPase regulator in kidney.

FEBS Lett 2006; 580:3075-82.

Abstract
In order to understand the functional significance of the transmembrane domain of TrwB, an integral membrane protein involved in bacterial conjugation, the protein was purified in the native, and also as a truncated soluble form (TrwBDeltaN70). The intact protein (TrwB) binds preferentially purine over pyrimidine nucleotides, NTPs over NDPs, and ribo- over deoxyribonucleotides. In contrast, TrwBDeltaN70 binds uniformly all tested nucleotides. The transmembrane domain has the general effect of making the nucleotide binding site(s) less accessible, but more selective. This is in contrast to other membrane proteins in which most of the protein mass, including the catalytic domain, is outside the membrane, but whose activity is not modified by the presence or absence of the transmembrane segment.

Abstract
In brown adipose tissue (BAT) adrenaline promotes a rise of the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration from 0.05 up to 0.70 mum. It is not known how the rise of Ca(2+) concentration activates BAT thermogenesis. In this report we compared the effects of Ca(2+) in BAT and liver mitochondria. Using electron microscopy and immunolabeling we identified a sarco/endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca(2+)-ATPase bound to the inner membrane of BAT mitochondria. A Ca(2+)-dependent ATPase activity was detected in BAT mitochondria when the respiratory substrates malate and pyruvate were included in the medium. ATP and Ca(2+) enhanced the amount of heat produced by BAT mitochondria during respiration. The Ca(2+) concentration needed for half-maximal activation of the ATPase activity and rate of heat production were the same and varied between 0.1 and 0.2 mum. Heat production was partially inhibited by the proton ionophore carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone and abolished by thapsigargin, a specific ER Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor, and by both rotenone and KCN, two substances that inhibit the electron transfer trough the mitochondrial cytochrome chain. In liver mitochondria Ca(2+) did not stimulate the ATPase activity nor increase the rate of heat production. Thapsigargin had no effect on liver mitochondria. In conclusion, this is the first report of a Ca(2+)-ATPase in mitochondria that is BAT-specific and can generate heat in the presence of Ca(2+) concentrations similar to those noted in the cell during adrenergic stimulation.

Biochem J 2006; 395:183-90. [PMID: 16390332 PMCID: PMC1409686 DOI: 10.1042/bj20051455] [Citation(s) in RCA: 62] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2005] [Revised: 12/20/2005] [Accepted: 01/04/2006] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
The molecular mechanisms involved in the Ang-(1-7) [angiotensin-(1-7)] effect on sodium renal excretion remain to be determined. In a previous study, we showed that Ang-(1-7) has a biphasic effect on the proximal tubule Na+-ATPase activity, with the stimulatory effect mediated by the AT1 receptor. In the present study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms involved in the inhibition of the Na+-ATPase by Ang-(1-7). All experiments were carried out in the presence of 0.1 nM losartan to block the AT1 receptor-mediated stimulation. In this condition, Ang-(1-7) at 0.1 nM inhibited the Na+-ATPase activity of the proximal tubule by 54%. This effect was reversed by 10 nM PD123319, a specific antagonist of the AT2 receptor, and by 1 muM GDP[beta-S] (guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate), an inhibitor of G protein. Ang-(1-7) at 0.1 M induced [35S]GTP[S] (guanosine 5'-[gamma-[35S]thio]triphosphate) binding and 1 mug/ml pertussis toxin, an inhibitor of G(i/o) protein, reversed the Ang-(1-7) effect. Furthermore, it was observed that the inhibitory effect of Ang-(1-7) on the Na+-ATPase activity was completely reversed by 0.1 microM LY83583, an inhibitor of guanylate cyclase, and by 2 muM KT5823, a PKG (protein kinase G) inhibitor, and was mimicked by 10 nM d-cGMP (dibutyryl cGMP). Ang-(1-7) increased the PKG activity by 152% and this effect was abolished by 10 nM PD123319 and 0.1 microM LY83583. Taken together, these data indicate that Ang-(1-7) inhibits the proximal tubule Na+-ATPase by interaction with the AT2 receptor that subsequently activates the G(i/o) protein/cGMP/PKG pathway.

Abstract
Euryhaline crustaceans tolerate exposure to a wide range of dilute media, using compensatory, ion regulatory mechanisms. However, data on molecular interactions occurring at cationic sites on the crustacean gill (Na+,K+)-ATPase, a key enzyme in this hyperosmoregulatory process, are unavailable. We report that Na+ binding at the activating site leads to cooperative, heterotropic interactions that are insensitive to K+. The binding of K+ ions to their high affinity sites displaces Na+ ions from their sites. The increase in Na+ ion concentrations increases heterotropic interactions with the K+ ions, with no changes in K0.5 for K+ ion activation at the extracellular sites. Differently from mammalian (Na+,K+)-ATPases, that from C. danae exhibits additional NH4+ ion binding sites that synergistically activate the enzyme at saturating concentrations of Na+ and K+ ions. NH4+ binding is cooperative, and heterotropic NH4+ ion interactions are insensitive to Na+ ions, but Na+ ions displace NH4+ ions from their sites. NH4+ ions also displace Na+ ions from their sites. Mg2+ ions modulate enzyme stimulation by NH4+ ions, displacing NH4+ ion from its sites. These interactions may modulate NH4+ ion excretion and Na+ ion uptake by the gill epithelium in euryhaline crustaceans that confront hyposmotic media.
