Characterization of transport Na+-ATPases in gills of freshwater tilapia

Branchial plasma membranes from the freshwater cichlid teleostOreochromis mossambicus (tilapia) contain two Na⁺-dependent ATPases: Na⁺/K⁺ ATPase, and an amiloride-sensitive ATPase which is postulated to operate as a Na⁺/H⁺ (–NH₄ ⁺) ATPase. It is suggested that both enzyme activities are located in the basolateral membrane system of the chloride cells. K⁺ has opposing effects on the two enzymes: it stimulates Na⁺/K⁺ ATPase and inhibits Na⁺/H⁺ (–NH₄ ⁺) ATPase activity. Na⁺/H⁺ ATPase appears more sensitive to NH₄ ⁺ at low concentrations than Na⁺/K⁺ ATPase and the stimulatory effect by NH₄ ⁺ ions on the first enzyme could be important in facilitating NH₄ ⁺ excretion by tilapia gills under physiological conditions.In vitro maximum stimulation by NH₄ ⁺ is similar for the two enzymes (200%). In contrast to Na⁺/K⁺ ATPase, Na⁺/H⁺ ATPase activity is inhibited by supra-physiological (>20 mM) concentrations of NH₄ ⁺.     

Characterization of fast skeletal myosin from white croaker in comparison with that from walleye pollack

ABSTRACT:   Enzymatic and structural properties of white croaker fast skeletal muscle myosin were determined and compared with those of walleye pollack counterpart. Ca²⁺-ATPase activity of white croaker myosin was decreased to approximately 70% of the original activity during 1 day of storage at 0°C and pH 7.0 in 0.5 M KCl and 0.1 mM dithiothreitol, whereas that of walleye pollack was decreased to approximately 20% under the same condition. The activation energy ( E _a) for inactivation of white croaker myosin calculated by the Arrhenius plot for inactivation rate constant (K_D) was 1.2-fold higher than that of walleye pollack. While Ca²⁺-ATPase showed a similar KCl-dependency for the two species, the maximal activity was observed at pH 6.2 and 6.3 for white croaker and walleye pollack, respectively. Actin-activated myosin Mg²⁺-ATPase activity of white croaker was approximately half that of walleye pollack at 0.05 M KCl and pH 7.0, although the two myosins showed a similar affinity to F-actin with K _m of 1.7 and 1.4, respectively. Limited proteolysis with α-chymotrypsin cleaved heat-denatured white croaker myosin mainly at heavy meromyosin/light meromyosin (HMM/LMM) junction, whereas walleye pollack myosin was cleaved at several sites in LMM as well as at the HMM/LMM junction.     

Changes in enzymatic and structural properties of grass carp fast skeletal myosin induced by the laboratory-conditioned thermal acclimation and seasonal acclimatization

ABSTRACT:   Myosins were prepared from fast skeletal muscles of grass carp thermally acclimated to 10, 20 and 30°C in the laboratory as well as from those seasonally acclimatized and collected in January (winter) 2003 and May (spring), August (summer) and November (autumn) 2002. The maximal initial velocities ( V _max) of actin-activated Mg²⁺-ATPase activity for myosins from the 10°C-acclimated and winter grass carp were 1.7–1.8-fold as high as those from the 30°C-acclimated and summer fish. The inactivation rate constant ( K _D) of Ca²⁺-ATPase for myosin from the 10°C-acclimated grass carp was three to fourfold higher than those for myosins from the fish acclimated to 20°C and 30°C, whereas myosin from winter grass carp was about sevenfold as high as that for myosin from summer fish. Myosins from spring and autumn fish showed K _D values comparable to those of the fish acclimated to 30°C and 10°C, respectively. In differential scanning calorimetry analysis, the transition temperature ( T _m) was observed near 38°C and 45–46°C with most myosins. However, the lowest T _m at 32–33°C was given as one of the major endotherms in myosins from the 10°C-acclimated, autumn and winter fish. These responses of grass carp to changed environmental temperatures were almost similar to those for common carp reported previously.     

Oxidative metabolism in a teleost,Anabas testudineus Bloch: effect of testosterone and estradiol-17β on hepatic enzyme activities

Testosterone (T) administration to maleAnabas testudineus significantly stimulated the activities of cytochrome oxidase, -glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (-GPDH) and Mg²⁺ adenosine triphosphatase (Mg²⁺ ATPase) and inhibited lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), cytosolic and mitochondrial malate dehydrogenases (MDH). The activities of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH) and catalase were unaffected by testosterone treatment. Administration of estradiol-17 (E2) in female fish, significantly stimulated cytochrome oxidase activity, inhibited Mg²⁺ ATPase, SDH, catalase and cytosolic and mitochondrial MDH activity, and was without effect on other enzymes studied.The simultaneous injections of actinomycin D or chloramphenicol and T or E2 prevented the hormonal influence on hepatic enzyme activities. The present study demonstrates that inA. testudineus sex steroids influence hepatic oxidative metabolism by a mechanism sensitive to the action of inhibitors of protein synthesis.     

Inhibition of P-glycoprotein ATPase and its transport function of Helicoverpa armigera by morin, quercetin and phloroglucinol

Flavonoids (morin, quercetin and phloroglucinol) were tested for their ability to modulate the function of P-glycoprotein ATPase of the insecticide resistant pest Helicoverpa armigera (Ha-Pgp). Flavonoids in the presence of ethylparaoxon or cypermethrin significantly reduced both larval weight as well as survival rate 40-50%. Morin and quercetin inhibited the activity of Ha-Pgp ATPase by 80-90%, whereas phloroglucinol inhibited ATPase activity by 40% at 100 μM concentration. These flavonoids inhibited the verapamil, ethylparaoxon and cypermethrin-stimulated Ha-Pgp ATPase activity. Morin, quercetin and phloroglucinol binding were quantitated by quenching of the intrinsic Trp fluorescence of purified Ha-Pgp ATPase. Drug transport was monitored in proteoliposomes containing Ha-Pgp ATPase using the high affinity fluorescent substrate tetramethylrosamine (TMR) in real time. Addition of the morin and quercetin mediated the collapse of the TMR concentration gradient generated by Ha-Pgp ATPase. The inhibition studies on Ha-Pgp ATPase activity may contribute towards understanding new strategies of the pest to overcome insecticide resistance.     

EDDS对印度芥菜Cu积累的影响及与P-ATPase的关系研究

通过水培的方法研究了可降解螯合剂EDDS对印度芥菜对Cu积累的影响,分析了根系中与Cu主动排出有关的P型ATPase的活性及其基因表达。结果表明:根系中Cu的积累量随外界浓度的升高而升高,但Cu在茎杆与叶片中的积累量则变化不大。随着外加EDDS浓度的增加,根、茎、叶中的Cu的积累量均出现下降的趋势。上述结果表明,根系以Cu离子为主要的吸收形式,而不是EDDS-Cu。通过对印度芥菜根系细胞膜上P型ATPase活性及基因表达分析后发现,不加EDDS时,随着外界Cu浓度的升高,ATPase活性增强,而当Cu达到16μmol L-1时出现降低的趋势。但是,ATPase活性随着外加EDDS的浓度增加而降低,这是因为EDDS降低了外界的Cu活度。RT-PCR分析结果表明,该ATPase的基因(BjHMA)在转录水平上的表达与活性变化一致。由于P型ATPase的作用是将Cu排出细胞,因此上述结果说明,其活性大小以及转录水平的变化受到外界Cu离子活度的影响,在一定的范围内可以调节植物对Cu的积累。
