Recognition of AMP, ADP and ATP through Cooperative Binding by Cu(II) and Zn(II) Complexes Containing Urea and/or Phenylboronic-Acid Moieties. Molecules 2018; 23:molecules23020479. [PMID: 29470445 PMCID: PMC6017333 DOI: 10.3390/molecules23020479] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2018] [Revised: 02/16/2018] [Accepted: 02/20/2018] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
We report a series of Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes with different ligands containing a dipicolyl unit functionalized with urea groups that may contain or not a phenylboronic acid function. These complexes were designed for the recognition of phosphorylated anions through coordination to the metal ion reinforced by hydrogen bonds involving the anion and NH groups of urea. The complexes were isolated and several adducts with pyrophosphate were characterized using X-ray diffraction measurements. Coordination of one of the urea nitrogen atoms to the metal ion promoted the hydrolysis of the ligands containing 1,3-diphenylurea units, while ligands bearing 1-ethyl-3-phenylurea groups did not hydrolyze significantly at room temperature. Spectrophotometric titrations, combined with 1H and 31P NMR studies, were used in investigating the binding of phosphate, pyrophosphate (PPi), and nucleoside 5′-polyphosphates (AMP, ADP, ATP, CMP, and UMP). The association constants determined in aqueous solution (pH 7.0, 0.1 M MOPS) point to a stronger association with PPi, ADP, and ATP as compared with the anions containing a single phosphate unit. The [CuL4]2+ complex shows important selectivity for pyrophosphate (PPi) over ADP and ATP.

Neurochemical measurement of adenosine in discrete brain regions of five strains of inbred mice. PLoS One 2014; 9:e92422.

Abstract
Adenosine (ADO), a non-classical neurotransmitter and neuromodulator, and its metabolites adenosine triphosphate (ATP), adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and adenosine monophosphate (AMP), have been shown to play an important role in a number of biochemical processes. Although their signaling is well described, it has been difficult to directly, accurately and simultaneously quantitate these purines in tissue or fluids. Here, we describe a novel method for measuring adenosine (ADO) and its metabolites using high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ECD). Using this chromatographic technique, we examined baseline levels of ADO and ATP, ADP and AMP in 6 different brain regions of the C57BL/6J mouse: stratum, cortex, hippocampus, olfactory bulb, substantia nigra and cerebellum and compared ADO levels in 5 different strains of mice (C57BL/6J, Swiss-Webster, FVB/NJ, 129P/J, and BALB/c). These studies demonstrate that baseline levels of purines vary significantly among the brain regions as well as between different mouse strains. These dissimilarities in purine concentrations may explain the variable phenotypes among background strains described in neurological disease models.

Enzymatic oxidation of NADP+ to its 4-oxo derivative is a side-reaction displayed only by the adrenodoxin reductase type of ferredoxin-NADP+ reductases. FEBS J 2007; 274:3998-4007.

Abstract
We have previously shown that Mycobacterium tuberculosis FprA, an NADPH-ferredoxin reductase homologous to mammalian adrenodoxin reductase, promotes the oxidation of NADP(+) to its 4-oxo derivative 3-carboxamide-4-pyridone adenine dinucleotide phosphate [Bossi RT, Aliverti A, Raimondi D, Fischer F, Zanetti G, Ferrari D, Tahallah N, Maier CS, Heck AJ, Rizzi M et al. (2002) Biochemistry41, 8807-8818]. Here, we provide a detailed study of this unusual enzyme reaction, showing that it occurs at a very slow rate (0.14 h(-1)), requires the participation of the enzyme-bound FAD, and is regiospecific in affecting only the C4 of the NADP nicotinamide ring. By protein engineering, we excluded the involvement in catalysis of residues Glu214 and His57, previously suggested to be implicated on the basis of their localization in the three-dimensional structure of the enzyme. Our results substantiate a catalytic mechanism for 3-carboxamide-4-pyridone adenine dinucleotide phosphate formation in which the initial and rate-determining step is the nucleophilic attack of the nicotinamide moiety by an active site water molecule. Whereas plant-type ferredoxin reductases were unable to oxidize NADP(+), the mammalian adrenodoxin reductase also catalyzed this unusual reaction. Thus, the 3-carboxamide-4-pyridone adenine dinucleotide phosphate formation reaction seems to be a peculiar feature of the mitochondrial type of ferredoxin reductases, possibly reflecting conserved properties of their active sites. Furthermore, we showed that 3-carboxamide-4-pyridone adenine dinucleotide phosphate is good ligand and a competitive inhibitor of various dehydrogenases, making this nucleotide analog a useful tool for the characterization of the cosubstrate-binding site of NADPH-dependent enzymes.

On selectivity and sensitivity of synthetic multifunctional pores as enzyme sensors: discrimination between ATP and ADP and comparison with biological pores. Biopolymers 2004; 76:55-65.

Abstract
This report delineates scope and limitation of the selectivity of synthetic multifunctional pores as enzyme sensors using glycolytic enzymes as example (G. Das, P. Talukdar, and S. Matile, Science, 2002, Vol. 298, pp. 1600-1602). Unproblematic detectability of hexokinase and phosphofructokinase demonstrates that the selectivity of synthetic multifunctional pore (SMPs) sensors suffices to sense ATP in mixed analytes containing ADP, whereas detection of the isomerization of glucose 6-phosphate into fructose 6-phosphate by phosphoglucose isomerase is not possible with confidence. The sensitivity of SMP sensors is sufficient for end-point detection of one picomole poly-L-glutamate hydrolyzed by papain in unoptimized assay format; the sensitivity of melittin as representative biological pore of similar charge and aggregation number to detect the same reaction is more than four orders of magnitude inferior.

Abstract
Incubation of the MoFe protein (Kp1) and Fe protein (Kp2), the component proteins of Klebsiella pneumoniae nitrogenase, with BeF(3)(-) and MgADP resulted in a progressive inhibition of nitrogenase activity. We have shown that at high Kp2 to Kp1 molar ratios this inhibition is due to the formation of an inactive complex with a stoichiometry corresponding to Kp1.{Kp2.(MgADP.BeFx)2}2. At lower Kp2:Kp1 ratios, an equilibrium between this 2:1 complex, the partially active 1:1 Kp1.Kp2.(MgADP. BeFx)2 complex, and active nitrogenase components was demonstrated. The inhibition was reversible since incubation of the 1:1 complex in the absence of MgADP and beryllium resulted in complete restoration of activity over 30 h. Under pseudo-first-order conditions with regard to nitrogenase components and MgADP, the kinetics of the rate of inhibition with increasing concentrations of BeF(3)(-) showed a square dependence on [BeF(3)(-)], consistent with the binding of two Be atoms by Kp2 in the complex. Analytical fplc gel filtration profiles of Kp1.Kp2 incubation mixtures at equilibrium resolved the 2:1 complex and the 1:1 complex from free Kp1. Deconvolution of the equilibrium profiles gave concentrations of the components allowing constants for their formation of 2.1 x 10(6) and 5.6 x 10(5) M(-1) to be calculated for the 1:1 and 2:1 complexes, respectively. When the active site concentration of the different species was taken into account, values for the two constants were the same, indicating the two binding sites for Kp2 are the same for Kp1 with one or both sites unoccupied. The value for K(1) we obtain from this study is comparable with the value derived from pre-steady-state studies of nitrogenase. Analysis of the elution profile obtained on gel filtration of a 1:1 ratio incubation mixture containing 20 microM nitrogenase components showed 97% of the Kp2 present initially to be complexed. These data provide the first unequivocal demonstration that Fe protein preparations which may contain up to 50% of a species of Fe protein defective in electron transfer is nevertheless fully competent in complex formation with MoFe protein.

Abstract
The human P2Y1 purinoceptor has been expressed in Jurkat cells and the effects of HPLC purified nucleotides on calcium movements were measured. The most potent agonist was 2-methylthio-ADP followed by ADP. ATP, Sp-ATPalphaS and beta,gamma-methylene-ATP were competitive antagonists. Suramin and PPADS inhibited the effects of ADP. This pharmacological profile is the same as that of the so-called P2T purinoceptor responsible for platelet aggregation, which has not yet been identified. Using PCR we found the P2Y1 receptor to be present in blood platelets and megakaryoblastic cell lines. These data suggest that the P2Y1 receptor may be the elusive P2T receptor.

Abstract
ADP is an important platelet agonist which initiates platelet shape change, aggregation, exposure of fibrinogen receptors, and calcium mobilization. Because of the limitations of previously used affinity analogs and photo-labeling studies as well as controversies surrounding the identity of an ADP receptor on platelets, we have used an affinity label capable of alkylating a putative exofacial receptor on platelets. We now report that 8-(4-bromo-2,3-dioxobutylthio)adenosine-5'-diphosphate (8-BDB-TADP), which is an analog of the natural ligand ADP, blocked ADP-induced platelet shape change, aggregation, exposure of fibrinogen-binding sites, secretion, and calcium mobilization. Following modification by 8-BDB-TADP, the rates of aggregation of platelets induced by thrombin, a calcium ionophore (A23187) or a stimulator of protein kinase C (phorbol myristate acetate) were minimally affected. However, the 8-BDB-TADP-modified platelets exhibited decreased rates of aggregation in response to ADP, as well as collagen and a thromboxane mimetic (U46619), both of which partially require ADP. Autoradiograms of the gels obtained by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of solubilized platelets modified by either [beta-32P]8-BDB-TADP, or 8-BDB-TADP and NaB[3H]4 showed the presence of a single radiolabeled protein band at 100 kDa. The intensity of this band was reduced when platelets were preincubated with ADP, ATP, and 8-bromo-ADP prior to labeling by the radioactive 8-BDB-TADP. The results show that 8-BDB-TADP selectively and covalently labeled aggregin (100 kDa), a putative ADP receptor, resulting in a loss of ADP-induced platelet responses.

Abstract
The tissue concentrations of adenosine nucleotides in the sea anemone Anthopleura elegantissima were determined during laboratory manipulations simulating natural environmental stresses: desiccation at low and high air temperatures, increased seawater temperature, mechanical disturbance causing column contraction, and starvation. The levels of adenylates significantly decreased during anemone desiccation, column contraction, and starvation. Variations in adenylate energy charge, the ratio of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and the ratio of ATP to total adenylates were compared with changes in absolute adenylate concentrations to determine the usefulness of these ratios in indicating changes in metabolic activity and physiological stress. The changes in the adenylate levels were far greater than the changes in adenylate ratios. The usefulness of adenylate energy charge, or the other adenylate ratios, as single or exclusive indices of metabolic stress in A. elegantissima is questionable, given these results. Changes in absolute adenylate levels do indicate significant metabolic changes in the anemones associated with desiccation, column contraction, and starvation.

Abstract
Tubulin, widely recognized as a GTP/GDP-binding protein, has been isolated in its polymerized state from rat PC12 cells and embryonic chick dorsal root ganglion neurons by Triton X-100 detergent extraction of the cytoskeletal fraction. Perchloric acid extraction and deproteinization of this fraction permitted subsequent analysis of nucleotide identity and content by high performance liquid chromatography. PC12 cells grown in the absence of nerve growth factor (NGF) contained ADP, ATP, GDP, and GTP at levels consistent with the actin and tubulin content of the cytoskeletal fraction. Microtubules from PC12 cells cultured in the presence of NGF contain an additional nucleotide that we have identified as dGTP. Analysis of whole cell nucleotide extracts from PC12 cells grown in the absence or presence of NGF revealed no evidence for the presence of dGTP at 4 and 14 days, respectively. We have determined that embryonic chick dorsal root ganglion neurons also contain this deoxyribonucleotide, and we found virtually no ADP or ATP in the extracted dorsal root ganglion cytoskeletal fraction. On the basis of metabolic labeling studies with [14C] guanine, we have inferred that the presence of dGTP in NGF-treated PC12 cells probably arises either from binding to the nonexchangeable nucleotide site of tubulin undergoing dynamic assembly/disassembly or from binding to the exchangeable site of tubulin subsequently incorporated into highly stabilized microtubules.

Purification and identification of the heat-stable factor required for pregnenolone-binding protein activity. Evidence that the factor is adenosine 3',5'-diphosphate. J Biol Chem 1992; 267:10982-7.

Abstract
This paper presents data identifying adenosine 3',5'-diphosphate (3',5'-ADP) as the small heat-stable factor essential for the active steroid binding complex of the adrenocortical pregnenolone-binding protein (PBP). Factor activity obtained from the boiled supernatant of partially purified PBP was isolated by high performance liquid chromatography using weak anion-exchange and hydrophobic (C18) chromatography sequentially. The purified material retained characteristic factor activity and presented a UV spectrum identical to that for authentic 3',5'-ADP. Mass spectroscopic analysis of the isolated factor revealed an M-H ion of appropriate mass (m/z = 426) and a decomposition pattern for the M-H ion that was consistent with the structure of 3',5'-ADP. The studies presented here demonstrate that authentic 3',5'-ADP can categorically substitute for factor prepared from the soluble fraction of the guinea pig adrenal. Specifically, 3',5'-ADP potentiated ligand binding of partially purified native PBP and restored binding capacity to alkaline phosphatase-inactivated PBP in a dose-dependent manner. As is the case for adrenocortical factor activity, these effects were negated by pretreating the 3',5'-ADP with calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase. Other nucleotides similarly tested, including ADP isomers, were ineffective as factor substitutes. The sulfated form of 3',5'-ADP (i.e. 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate) demonstrated some potential for restoring binding capacity to phosphatase-inactivated PBP; however, this compound was clearly inhibitory rather than stimulatory for native PBP activity. Taken collectively, the data overwhelmingly demonstrate that 3',5'-ADP is in fact the molecule required by the PBP for high affinity steroid binding complex formation. It is not yet known whether 3',5'-ADP acts allosterically or contributes directly to the structure of the steroid binding site.

Abstract
Intact ejaculated bovine sperm incorporate 32Pi into ADP to a specific activity two to three times higher than into ATP. This contrasts with other cell types where ATP specific activity is higher than that of ADP. Predominant labeling of ADP may be partially due to compartmentation of ATP, but removal of cytosolic ATP does not change the relative labeling of ADP and ATP. Dilution of extracellular 32Pi following labeling resulted in loss of 70% of label from ADP but only 50% loss from gamma-ATP at 26 min. ADP was labeled in the absence of detectable ATP in the presence of rotenone plus antimycin. Fractionation of ejaculated sperm yielded midpieces that are depleted of adenylate kinase and have coupled respiration. ATP was labeled with 32Pi, but ADP was not in midpieces. Evidence for mitochondrial substrate level phosphorylation-supported incorporation of 32Pi into nucleotides was observed for intact sperm incubated with pyruvate and inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation, but this activity did not occur in midpieces and does not appear to explain disproportionate labeling of ADP. We conclude that labeling of ADP in intact and permeabilized cells occurs by two pathways; one involves adenylate kinase, and the other is an unknown pathway which may be independent of ATP.

Abstract
The effect of adenosine (ADO) on the recovery of cellular adenine nucleotides (AN) was evaluated in the cultured cells deprived of oxygen and substrates (ischemia) and in nonischemic cells (control). The primary cultured cells were obtained from microdissected rabbit proximal straight tubules. Ten-day-old cultured cells were made ischemic for 6 hr, and allowed to recover for 24 hr. At the end of ischemia, cells were incubated with ADO, theophylline (T), dipyridamole (D), coformycin (C) or combined agents for 3 hr. Total AN (TAN) were determined after 3 and 24 hr of recovery. The results, after 3 hr of incubation, suggest that in both control and ischemic cells, ADO is taken up by cultured cells and is preferentially converted to nucleotides. This effect is blocked by D, which inhibits ADO uptake, uninfluenced by C, which inhibits ADO deaminase and potentiated by T, which inhibits 5'-nucleotidase. After 24 hr of recovery, the beneficial effects of ADO alone or combined D, C, or T, on TAN were not seen in control cells. In contrast, in the ischemic cells, after 24 hr of recovery, ADO + T normalized ATP, ADP and TAN to the preischemic levels. T alone significantly increased ATP after 24 hr of recovery. To demonstrate further that the beneficial effect of T is due to inhibition of 5'-nucleotidase, cells were treated with adenosine alpha, beta-methylene diphosphate in the same manner as T. Combined ADO + adenosine alpha, beta-methylene diphosphate normalized ATP, ADP and TAN after 24 hr of recovery. This finding suggests that inhibition of 5'-nucleotidase improves postischemic AN.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The effect of variation in the concentration of inorganic phosphate and of the pyridine precursors nicotinamide (NAm) and nicotinic acid (NA) on pyridine nucleotide synthesis was studied using intact human erythrocytes. A wide range of incubation times was employed. The results showed that under physiological conditions the rate of synthesis of NAD from NAm exceeded that from NA twofold, while the reverse situation pertained at higher and unphysiological substrate levels. The two pathways had different regulation points. For NAm the rate-limiting factor was the initial step, namely its conversion into the mononucleotide, while for NA it lay at the second step, conversion of NA mononucleotide (NAMN) to its adenine dinucleotide. At physiological substrate levels the uptake of NA and conversion to NAMN were rapid, while the uptake and conversion of NAm were time dependent. This process was stimulated significantly by inorganic phosphate only for NAm. These results indicate that while NA is the predominant precursor of human erythrocyte NAD at high (unphysiological) substrate and phosphate levels, NAm is more efficient as an NAD precursor under physiological conditions, suggesting an important and hitherto unrecognized role for nicotinamide in NAD synthesis in vivo.

Abstract
Actin is the major ATP and ADP binding protein in platelets, 0.9-1.3 nmol/10(8) cells, 50-70% in the unpolymerized state. The goal of these experiments was to develop a method for extracting all protein-bound ATP and ADP from undisturbed platelets in plasma. Extraction of actin-bound ADP is routine while extraction of actin-bound ATP from platelets in buffer has been unsuccessful. Prior to extraction the platelets were exposed to 14-C adenine, to label the metabolic and actin pools of ATP and ADP. The specific activity was determined from the actin-bound ADP in the 43% ethanol precipitate. Sequential ethanol and perchlorate extractions of platelet rich plasma, and the derived supernatants and precipitates were performed. ATP concentrations were determined with the luciferase assay, and radioactive nucleotides separated by TLC. A total of 1.18 nmol/10(8) cells of protein-bound ATP and ADP was recovered, 52% ATP (0.61 nmol). The recovery of protein-bound ADP was increased from 0.3 to 0.57 nmol/10(8) cells. This approach for the first time successfully recovered protein bound ATP and ADP from platelets in a concentration expected for actin.

Abstract
Cellular extraction and high-performance liquid chromatographic methods were developed for the isolation of etheno adducts from nucleotide pools formed in vivo following exposure to the chemical carcinogen ethyl carbamate. These techniques were employed to detect etheno adduct formation using BDF1 mice and rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) as test species following inter-peritoneal injection of the chemical. Ethenoadenine was detected in splenocyte nucleotide pools of mice after acute (24 h) exposure and chronic (two weeks) exposure. Several etheno adducts (i.e. ethenoadenine, etheno-AMP, etheno-ADP and etheno-ATP) were also detected in total spleen cell nucleotide pools of trout following acute ethyl carbamate exposure.

Abstract
The efficiency factor, the number of moles of ATP generated per mole of glucose fermented, was determined in anaerobic, non-carbon-limited N2-fixing cultures of Bacillus polymyxa, Bacillus macerans, Bacillus azotofixans, and Clostridium butyricum through identification and quantitation of the fermentation products by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and measurement of acetate kinase activities. All three Bacillus species had acetate kinase activities and produced acetate and ethanol as the major fermentation products. The maximum amounts of ATP generated per mole of glucose fermented were 2.70, 2.64, and 2.88 mol in B. polymyxa, B. macerans, and B. azotofixans, respectively, compared with 3.25 mol in C. butyricum. Thus, in the N2-fixing Bacillus species, the efficiency factors are lower than that in C. butyricum. Steady-state ATP/ADP concentration ratios were measured in non-carbon-limited N2-fixing cultures of B. polymyxa and B. azotofixans through separation and quantitation of the adenylates in cell extracts by ion-pair reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The observed ATP/ADP ratios were 4.5 and 3.8, and estimated energy charges were 0.81 to 0.86 and 0.81 to 0.83, respectively, for B. polymyxa and B. azotofixans. The results suggest that under these growth conditions, the rate of ATP regeneration is adequate to meet the energy requirement for N2 fixation in the Bacillus species, in contrast to N2-fixing Clostridium pasteurianum and Klebsiella pneumoniae, for which substantially lower steady-state ATP/ADP ratios and energy charges have been reported. Implications of the results are discussed in relation to possible differences between Bacillus and Clostridium species in energy requirements for N2 fixation and concomitant ammonia assimilation.

Abstract
Two new nucleotide antibiotics, fosfadecin and fosfocytocin, have been isolated from the culture filtrates of Pseudomonas viridiflava PK-5 and Pseudomonas fluorescens PK-52, respectively. These antibiotics were purified by column chromatographies using adsorption, gel filtration and ion exchange resins. On the basis of the spectroscopic and degradation studies, the chemical structures of fosfadecin and fosfocytocin were determined. These antibiotics were either enzymatically or chemically hydrolyzed to generate fosfomycin and a new antibiotic, fosfoxacin, which are also produced in the culture filtrates. They showed antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The antibacterial activity of these nucleotide antibiotics was weaker than that of fosfomycin and fosfoxacin.

Abstract
Aluminum fluoride and beryllium fluoride complexes have previously been shown to bind tightly to F-ADP-actin and GDP-microtubules in competition with Pi and to mimic the XDP-Pi transient state of the polymerization. The structure of the bound complexes is investigated here in further detail. Using a fluoride ion-specific electrode, the number of fluoride atoms per aluminum or beryllium atom in the bound complex could be determined. The results indicate that AIF-4 and either BeF2(OH)-.H2O or BeF3-.H2O are the tightly bound species in both F-actin and microtubules. The dependences of the binding on pF and pH are consistent with this conclusion. The possible geometries of aluminum and beryllium fluorides in the gamma-phosphate subsite of the nucleotide are discussed in correlation with the catalytic mechanism of nucleotide hydrolysis.

Biosynthesis of a novel bile acid nucleotide and mechanism of 7 alpha-dehydroxylation by an intestinal Eubacterium species. J Biol Chem 1987; 262:4701-7.

Abstract
Eubacterium species V.P.I. 12708 has inducible bile acid 7-dehydroxylase activity that can use either 7 alpha or 7 beta bile acids as substrates. Cell extracts prepared from bacteria grown in the presence of cholic acid catalyzed the rapid conversion of free bile acids into a highly polar bile acid metabolite (HPBA). This conjugation activity co-eluted with bile acid 7-dehydroxylase activity on high performance gel filtration chromatography (GFC). The HPBA was purified by a combination of high performance GFC and reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The intact HPBA eluted earlier from reverse-phase HPLC than deoxycholyl-CoA and had a Mr of 1102 by Bio-Gel P-2 (GFC). The HPBA had an absorption peak at 255 nm and was sensitive to treatment with phosphodiesterase I or nucleotide pyrophosphatase. The HPBA has a free phosphate as shown by an increase in elution volume on reverse-phase HPLC following treatment with alkaline phosphatase. Treatment of the purified HPBA with nucleotide pyrophosphate plus alkaline phosphatase yielded adenosine, whereas, treatment with nucleotide pyrophosphatase alone generated 5',3'-ADP. A bile acid metabolite was also generated by nucleotide pyrophosphatase treatment. The bile acid metabolite had different chromatographic properties (HPLC and TLC) than the corresponding free bile acid. Gas liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry showed the bile acid metabolite to be 12 alpha-hydroxy-3-oxo-4-cholenoic acid. We hypothesize that the HPBA is an intermediate in 7-dehydroxylation and consists of this compound linked at the C-24 with an anhydride bond to the beta phosphate (5') of ADP-3'-phosphate. These results suggest a novel mechanism of bile acid 7 alpha/7 beta-dehydroxylation in Eubacterium sp. V.P.I. 12708.

Nucleotide exchange between cytosolic ATP and F-actin-bound ADP may be a major energy-utilizing process in unstimulated platelets. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF BIOCHEMISTRY 1986; 156:677-84.

Abstract
About 40% of the cytosolic ADP of human platelets is tightly bound to protein and the complex is precipitated from the cells by 43% ethanol. We show here that this ADP is bound to F-actin by three criteria (a) copurification with F-actin, (b) specific extraction with water and (c) by specific interaction with DNase I. Platelets contain 0.3 mumol/10(11) cells of this F-actin--ADP complex compared to the total actin content of 0.8 mumol/10(11) cells, which is consistent with the view that actin is maintained in different pools (F-actin--ADP, profilactin, G-actin). In intact platelets the F-actin-bound ADP turns over rapidly and we have determined a turnover rate at 37 degrees C of 0.1 +/- 0.025 s-1 by using a double-labelling procedure. This rapid turnover indicates that F-actin in intact platelets is in a very dynamic state, which may be necessary for rapid responses to stimuli. If it is assumed that the source of the ADP bound to F-actin is cytosolic ATP, the turnover of F-actin ADP measured represents an ATP-consuming process that would account for up to 50% of total ATP consumption in resting platelets.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle ADP-G-actin was prepared from ADP-F-actin, which had been freed of residual ATP by repeated sonication, by depolymerization in 5 mM Tris-HCl, 0.2 mM ADP, 0.2 mM dithiothreitol, 0.1 mM CaCl2, 0.1 mM MgCl2, and 0.01% NaN3, pH 8.0. The ADP had been freed of traces of ATP by DEAE-chromatography, and 5 microM diadenosine pentaphosphate was added to inhibit myokinase activity. The kinetics of the spontaneous polymerization of ADP-actin in 1 mM MgCl2 + 0.1 M KCl were compatible with the simple nucleation-elongation model previously used to explain the polymerization of ATP-actin. The critical concentrations of ADP-actin were 8.0 and 2.0 microM in 1 mM MgCl2 and 1 mM MgCl2 + 0.1 M KCl, respectively. These values are 20-30-fold higher than the corresponding values in ATP. Using cross-linked actin trimers to nucleate polymerization, the association rate constants were found to be 0.8 and 0.9 microM-1 S-1 in MgCl2 and MgCl2 + KCl, respectively, which are 0.4 and 0.2 times the values for ATP-actin. The dissociation rate constants, calculated from the critical concentrations and the association rate constants, were 6.4 and 1.8 S-1, respectively, which are 10 and 5 times the corresponding values for ATP-actin.

Abstract
An ultramicro phospho-L-arginine (Arg-P) assay for nanoliter-volume biological samples is described. The assay and method is demonstrated to be reliable and reproducible for the detection of subpicomole quantities of both Arg-P and ATP in serial samples of cytoplasm from a single, isolated giant nerve fiber from the crayfish Procambarus clarkii. The assay for Arg-P is based on the ATP:L-arginine Nw-phosphotransferase (EC 2.7.3.3.)-catalyzed phosphorylation of ADP to ATP. The generated ATP is measured with a standard luciferin-luciferase bioluminescence method. Arg-P and ATP concentrations of pure axoplasmic samples from resting nerve were found to be approximately 13 and 2 mM, respectively. There was no evidence that substances present in the biological sample interfered with the assay. Recovery of added Arg-P and ATP were approximately 100%. Arg-P and ATP concentrations of isolated biological samples were found to be stable for 1 h at room temperature. The techniques described here are useful for the study of energy metabolism in single, isolated giant cells, and could be easily modified for the study of a variety of metabolic intermediates in situ in functioning tissues and organs.

Abstract
A new method for determination of 32Pi-ATP and [14C]ADP-ATP exchange rates is described. It is based upon separation of nucleotides and Pi by thin-layer chromatography on commercial aluminum or plastic sheets precoated with silica gel. The method permits avoiding special procedures for stopping of the reaction and for preparation of aliquots for thin-layer chromatography separation. It also allows to separate all adenine nucleotides and Pi in one chromatography procedure, and to work with a double label. The volume of the reaction mixture was 50-100 microliters. Aliquots (2-6 microliters) of the reaction mixture were taken at various moments without stopping the reaction and were layered immediately on a heated silica gel sheets. The nucleotides and Pi were separated in a solvent system which consisted of dioxane, isopropanol, 25% ammonia, and water (4:2:3:4, v/v). The nucleotide spots were detected in ultraviolet light, cut out, and their radioactivity was measured with a liquid scintillation counter. The method for measurement of kinetics of exchange reactions catalyzed by reconstituted into liposomes H+-ATPase complexes from beef heart mitochondria and high plant chloroplasts, is described.

Abstract
A simple fluorimetric assay for the determination of carbamoyl phosphate in tissue extracts is described. In the assay, production of ATP from carbamoyl phosphate and ADP by carbamate kinase is coupled to the formation of NADPH, using glucose, hexokinase, NADP+, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Production of NADPH in this system proved to be equal to the amount of carbamoyl phosphate present.

Abstract
1. The purified ATP synthetase complex (F1F0) from Escherichia coli was adsorbed to immobilized poly-(L-lysine)-deoxycholic acid. About 0.7 mg F1F0 were bound per ml of settled gel. The hydrophilic F1 part was dissociated from the complex by treatment with 7 M urea. F0 was eluted in high yield either with deoxycholate (6 mM) or taurodeoxycholate (10 mM). About 14% of the total protein bound to the column was eluted as F0, which corresponds to 64% of the total F0 in the F1F0 complex. 2. The purified F0 preparation obtained was composed of three different kinds of subunits with apparent molecular weights of 24000 (a), 19000 (b) and 8300 (c), respectively as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. 3. After incorporation into liposomes and the generation of a potassium diffusion potential by valinomycin, the F0 preparation mediated H+ translocation. This H+ uptake is inhibited by either dicyclohexylcarbodiimide or purified F1 ATPase. 4. Incubation of F0-containing liposomes with F1 led to the reconstitution of an ATP-driven quenching of acridine-dye fluorescence. The quenching was abolished by uncoupler and prevented by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide.

Abstract
1. A method is described to prepare an ATPase-ATP synthase complex from pig heart mitochondria exhibiting a very high ATP-32Pi exchange activity (1.6 mumol/min per mag protein in optimal conditions). 2. The preparation is virtually devoid of nucleoside diphosphokinase and adenylate kinase activities. 3. Freeze-fracture studies show that the ATPase-ATP synthase complex is integrated in lipid vesicles of 400-600 A in diameter. 4. It contains the endogenous natural proteic inhibitor which seems to behave as a coupling factor. 5. The rate of ATP hydrolysis catalyzed by the ATPase-ATP synthase complex is competitively inhibited by ADP, while the presence of ADP increases the initial rate of 32Pi incorporation into ATP. 6. The 32Pi incorporation into ATP can occur at a rate almost equal to that of nucleoside triphosphate (NTP) hydrolysis provided that the rate of NTP hydrolysis is kept low and that the ADP concentration is high enough. In these conditions, a very high coupling between NTP hydrolysis and ATP synthesis can be demonstrated.

Abstract
Adenine nucleotides in Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were extracted using 10 different methods. Extracts were assayed for adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP), adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP), and adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP) by the firefly method using an improved procedure. Analytical interference by bacterial enzymes not inactivated during the extraction was found to be a major problem. However, these enzymes were inactivated to a considerable extent by the inclusion of ethylenediaminetetraacetate in the extraction reagent. The 10 extraction methods were compared with respect to yield of adenine nucleotides, interference with the enzymic assay, reproducibility of the method, and stability of the extracts. Results indicated that extraction with trichloroacetic acid was the method most closely reflecting actual levels of ATP, ADP and AMP in intact bacterial cells. However, for the extraction of ATP in some bacterial strains several other methods may be used and may be advantageous from a practical point of view.

Abstract
Poly(ADP-ribose) bound to histones has been isolated from rat liver. When [14C]ribose was administered intraperitoneally to rats at a dosage of 300-750 mug (100-250 muCi)/10o g, approximately 1% of the radioactivity was recovered in the acid (5% CLCCCOOH)-INSOLUBLE MATERIAL OF THE LIVER NUCLEI 2 HR AFTER INJECTION. Of the acid-insoluble radioactivity, 4.5-9% was extractable with 0.25 N HCL. Carboxymethyl-cellulose column chromatography of the HCl-extracted material revealed that the radioactivity cochromatographed with histone subfractions f1 and, to a lesser extent, f2 and f3. Part of the protein-bound radioactivity was rendered acid-soluble by treatment with either snake venom phosphodiesterase or neutral NH2OH. From the enzyme digest, 5'-AMP and psiADP-ribose [2'-(5"-phosphoribosyl)-5'-AMP] were recovered, while the NH2OH treatment yielded ADP-ribose monomer and, presumably, oligomer. These observations indicate that ADP-ribose is attached to histones in vivo and is present both as a monomer and a polymer.
