Electrophoretic Patterns

In plasma membranes of intact cells an enzymatic pump actively transports sodium ions inward and potassium ions outward. In preparations of broken membranes it appears as an adenosine triphosphatase dependent on magnesium, sodium, and potassium ions together. In this adenosine triphosphatase a phosphorylated intermediate is formed from adenosine triphosphate in the presence of sodium ions and is hydrolyzed with the addition of potassium ions. The normal intermediate was not split by adenosine diphosphate. However, selective poisoning by N-ethylmaleimide or partial inhibition by a low magnesium ion concentration yielded an intermediate split by adenosine diphosphate and insensitive to potassium ions. Pulse experiments on the native enzyme supported further a hypothesis of a sequence of phosphorylated forms, the first being made reversibly from adenosine triphosphate in the presence of sodium ion and the second being made irreversiblyfrom the first and hydrolyzed in the presence of potassium ion. The cardioactive steriod inhibitor, ouabain, appeared to combine preferentially with the second form. Phosphorylation was at the same active site according to electrophoretic patterns of proteolytic phosphorylated fragments of both reactive forms. It is concluded that there is a conformational change in the active center for phosphorylation during the normal reaction sequence. This change may be linked to one required theoretically for active translocation of ions across the cell membrane.

1. Both the monomer arginine kinase from lobster muscle and the dimer arginine kinase from Holothuria forskali catalyse the ATP-ADP partial exchange reaction at rates equal to 3 and 0.6% of the normal rate of transphosphorylation respectively. The Mg2+-nucleotide complex is the substrate for this as it is for the kinase reaction. 2. Analogues of arginine inhibit the exchange reaction of the lobster enzyme but enhance that of the Holothuria enzyme. 3. With the lobster enzyme NO3- has no effect on the exchange reaction alone and inhibit only slightly the apparent enhancement of the exchange reaction produced by the addition of arginine. This is compatible with previous findings for this enzyme that formation of the anion-stabilized dead-end complex, enzyme-arginine-MgADP-NO3-, does not occur to any marked degree. 4. About 80% of the ADP-ATP exchange reaction of the lobster enzyme remains after inhibition with iodoacetamide. This is further decreased to 65% by the addition of L-arginine, indicating that this substrate does bind to the thiolmodified enzyme. 5. It is concluded that the partial exchange reaction is a genuine phenomenon not mediated by trace amounts of arginine. From the effects of arginine and related compounds it would appear that during the normal kinase reaction the partial ATP-ADP exchange reaction is suppressed in the lobster enzyme but enhanced in the Holothuria enzyme. This reflects a remarkable evolutionary divergence of two homologous enzymes.

Mechanistic Basis

Kinesin-4 motors play important roles in cell division, microtubule organization, and signaling. Understanding how motors perform their functions requires an understanding of their mechanochemical and motility properties. We demonstrate that KIF27 can influence microtubule dynamics, suggesting a conserved function in microtubule organization across the kinesin-4 family. However, kinesin-4 motors display dramatically different motility characteristics: KIF4 and KIF21 motors are fast and processive, KIF7 and its Drosophila melanogaster homologue Costal2 (Cos2) are immotile, and KIF27 is slow and processive. Neither KIF7 nor KIF27 can cooperate for fast processive transport when working in teams. The mechanistic basis of immotile KIF7 behavior arises from an inability to release adenosine diphosphate in response to microtubule binding, whereas slow processive KIF27 behavior arises from a slow adenosine triphosphatase rate and a high affinity for both adenosine triphosphate and microtubules. We suggest that evolutionarily selected sequence differences enable immotile KIF7 and Cos2 motors to function not as transporters but as microtubule-based tethers of signaling complexes.

1. K+ did not affect the Mg2+-dependent transphosphorylation but markedly increased the Na+-stimulated ADP–ATP exchange rate mediated by a microsomal fraction from guinea-pig kidney. 2. Rb+, Cs+, NH4+ and Li+ were equally effective in stimulating the Na+-dependent ADP–ATP exchange activity. 3. Treatment of the microsomal fraction with N-ethylmaleimide or increased concentrations of Mg2+ prevented stimulation of the Na+-dependent exchange reaction by K+. 4. Ouabain (2.5μm) inhibited ATP hydrolysis by 33% but did not decrease the K+-stimulated Na+-dependent ADP–ATP exchange rate. 5. A possible mechanism for stimulation of exchange activity by K+ is discussed.
