  • In the present study, the underlying mechanisms for diabetic functional derangement and insulin effect on diabetic cardiomyopathy were investigated with respect to sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$ and phospholamban at the transcriptional and translational levels. The maximal $Ca^{2+}$ uptake and the affinity of $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$ for $Ca^{2+}$ were decreased in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat cardiac SR, however, even minimal amount of insulin could reverse both parameters. Levels of both mRNA and protein of phospholamban were significantly increased in diabetic rat hearts, whereas the mRNA and protein levels of SR $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$ were significantly decreased. In case of phospholamban, insulin treatment reverses these parameters to normal levels. Minimal amount of insulin could reverse the protein levels; however, it could not reverse the mRNA level of SR $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$ at all. Thus, the decreased SR $Ca^{2+}$ uptake appear to be largely attributed to the decreased SR $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$ level, which is further impaired due to the inhibition by the increased level of phospholamban. These results indicate that insulin is involved in the control of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ in the cardiomyocyte through multiple target proteins via multiple mechanisms for the decrease in the mRNA for both SR $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$ and phospholamban which are unknown and needs further study.

  • The effects of sodium azide, cAMP, G-strophanthin and dicumarol on the ATP-ase activity and Ca uptake of the fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum of skeletal muscle were studied and the effects were compared with respect to the enzymatic activity and Ca transport. Sodium azide (0.05 mM) and G-strophanthin (0.25mM) caused no inhibition on either ATPase activity or Ca uptake. cAMP($1\\times10^{-6}\\sim5\\times10^{-4}$) had no effect on ATPase activity while inhibited Ca uptake. Dicumarol (0.05 mM) did not inhibit ATPase activity but caused a decreased Ca uptake of heavier fraction (8,000-12,000xG) of the reticulum fragments.

  • Actomyosine prepared from Yellowtail fish(seriola quinqueradiata) were stored at $0^{\circ}C$(ice-cooling) -3.5$^{\circ}C$(partial freeaing) and -2$0^{\circ}C$(freezing) Another actomyosin samples were prepared from the fish previously stored at the temperatures for a week as the maximum .Remaining activity of {{{{ {Ca }^{2+ } }}}}-and {{{{ {Mg }^{2+ } }}}}- dependent adenosine triphosphatase(ATPase) activity was measured fronm the actomyosin preparations. Specific activity of {{{{ {Mg }^{2+ } }}}}-ATPase of actomy-osin before storagew was 0.253$\mu$ mole pi/min/mg of protein and it was 1.5 times higher than that of {{{{ {Ca }^{2+ } }}}} -ATPase. The enzyme activities were markedly decreased during early period of storage. However no significant differences in the enzyme activity were revealed among the samples stored at different temperature. The enzyme of actomyosin prepared from the fish previously stored at the temperatures for a week revealed an acitivity of 2-3 times higher than that of freezing. Apparent denaturation constant of {{{{ {Mg }^{2+ } }}}} -ATPase of actomyosin was between 0.810-1.139 per day and it was about 1.5 times hgiher than that of {{{{ {Ca }^{2+ } }}}} -ATPase. But the constant of {{{{ {Mg }^{2+ } }}}} ATPase of actomyosin extracted from the fist stored for a week at each temperature was between 0.176-0.356 per day. This constant was 4 times higher than that of {{{{ {Ca }^{2+ } }}}}- ATPase in frozen stored fish. It was presumed from these results that denaturation of ATPase is largely accorded to the structural changes of actomyosin.

  • Previously, we reported two types of vanadate-sensitive ATPases in the micro somes of tracheal epithelial cells, a high-affinity one and a low-affinity one. The low affinity vanadate-sensitive (LAVS) ATPase was sensitive to thapsigargin and cyclopiazonic acid, specific antagonists of ER-type Ca$\^$2+/-ATPase, and mediated microsomal $\^$45/Ca$\^$2+/ uptake, implying that the LAVS-ATPase is an ER/SR-type Ca$\^$2+/-ATPase.(omitted)

  • It has been reported that the luteal function may be regulated by the intracellular $Ca^{++}$ level which may be adjusted partially by the high affinity $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ in luteal cell membranes. Then, one may expect that luteotropic and/or luteolytic agents, such as gonadotropins, prostaglandin $F_{2{\alpha}}\;(PGF_{2{\alpha}})$ and ouabain, affect the intracellular $Ca^{++}$ level. In this present study, therefore, we examined the effects of luteinizing hormone (LH, or human chorionic gonadotropin, hCG), $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ and ouabain on the kinetic properties of the high affinity $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ in light membrane, heavy membrane, and microsomal fractions from the highly luteinized ovary. LH (or hCG) increased the affinity and the Vmax for $Ca^{++}$ both in light membrane and heavy membrane. $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ increased the Vmax in light membrane and decreased the Km in heavy membrane for $Ca^{++}$ at low concentration $(5\;{\mu}g/ml)$. At higher concentration, however, $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ oppositly affected on kinetic properties, that shown at low concentration. Ouabain, a potent inhibitor of $Na^+-K^+-ATPase$, increased the Km at high concentration $(10^{-4}\;M)$, however, decreased the Vmax for $Ca^{++}$ in light membrane at low concentration $(10^{-6}\;M)$. Also, ouabain increased the Km for $Ca^{++}$ in heavy membrane without changes in the Vmax at both concentrations. It seems that LH and low dose of $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ increase the intracellular $Ca^{++}$ level and cause in activation of $Ca^{++}-ATPase$, however, higher dose of $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ and ouabain inhibit directly $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ activity and result in increase in intracellular $Ca^{++}$ level. According to the above results, we suggest that luteotropic and/or luteolytic agents regulate the luteal progesterone $(P_4)$ production through two different pathways; one is cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent and another is $Ca^{++}-dependent$. Intracellula. $Ca^{++}$ level regulated by the high affinity $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ may affect both pathways in a time-dependent fashion. LH (or hCG) acts on the luteal $P_4$ production via both pathways. The initial step is $Ca^{++}$ dependent, and the late step is cAMP dependent. $PGF_{2{\alpha}}$ and ouabain increase the intracellular $Ca^{++}$ concentration so that basal luteal $P_4$ production is increased and LH-stimulated $P_4$ production is inhibited by the inhibiting LH-dependent adenylate cyclase activity.

  • 토끼의 골격근 homogenate에서 23,000$\times$G, 60 분간의 원심분리와 얻은 근 microsome의 ATPase 활성, 근수축에 대한 이완작용, 및 Ca 의 흡수작용을 여러 가지 조건에서 측정하였다. ATPase 활성은 Ca++ Mg++ 양 이온의 존재에 의하여 활성화되며 , 5 mM Mg++ 의 존재하에서는 Ca++ 의 최적농도는 0.1mM이다. Oxalate의 존재하에서는 1 mM 의 Ca++ 이 최적농도이므로 oxalate의 작용은 불용성 Ca-oxalate의 작용은 불용성 Ca-oxalate를 microsome vesicle so 및 medium 내에 침전시켜 유리 Ca++ 농도를 저하시키는 것이라고 생각된다. Microsome의 이완작용은 조제후 120 시간까지 시간에 따라 감소되어 가나, 그이 ATPase 활성은 거의 변화가 없는 것으로 보아 Ca++ + Mg++ -의존성 ATPase 는 이완작용에는 직접 관련이 없는 것으로 해석된다. Oxalatedmlwhswo는 microsome의 Ca++ 흡수량을 현저히 증대시키며 동시에 흡수포화에 도달하는 시간을 지연시킨다. Oxalate의 이러한 효과도 Ca-oxalate의 형성에 기인하는 것으로 해석된다. Microsome 내에 축적되는 Ca 의 량은 ATP 농도가 커질수록 많아진다. 그러나 축적된 Ca 의 량과 ATP 농도사이에 화학정량론적 관계는 없는 것같다.

  • The author investigated the effect of $Mg^#$, $Ca^#$, $Na^+$, $K^+$ and creatine phosphate on the ATPase activity of microsomal fraction isolated from rabbit uterus and obtained the following results : 1) The uterine microsomal fraction contained the $Na^+-$ and $K^+-$ activated ATPase in the presence of $Mg^#$. The ATPase activity increased with protein content in the fraction. 2) The maximum ATPase activity was obtained at $Na^+$ and $K^+$ concentraction of 100 mM respectively. 3) In the absence of $Mg^#$, the ATPase was not activated by $Na^+$ and $K^+$, but inhibited. 4) Car stimulated the $Na^+-$ and $K^+-$ activated ATPase in the presence of $Mg^#$. However, in the absence of $Mg^#$, the ATPase was not activated by $Ca^#$. 5) The $K^+-$ activated ATPase activity was greater than the $Na^+-activated$ ATPase under all conditions. 6) The $Na^+-$ and $K^+$ activated ATPase activity was increased by addition of creatine phosphokinase and creatine phosphate to the reaction mixture.

  • This study was undertaken to clarify the effects of electrical stimulation on the biochemical properties of plaice sarcoplasmic reticulum and myofibrils at early period of death. The plaices were electrically stimulated (110V/60 Hz) In sea water bath for 15, 35, and 60 seconds, and killed instantly by spiking at the head. Killed samples were investigated for the changes in $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase activity of FSR (fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum), LSR (light SR), HSR (heavy SR), and SDS-PAGE pattern of FSR. $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase activity of FSR increased until $45^{\circ}C$ and inactivated over $50^{\circ}C$. $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase activity of FSR remarkably decreased according to the duration of electrical stimulation. Myofibrillar $Mg^{2+}$-ATPase activity of electrically stimulated plaices in the presence of $Ca^{2+}$ was higher than that of sample instantly killed by spiking. $Mg^{2+}$-ATPase activity of myofibrils increased by electrical stimulation and the activity decreased during storage at $5^{\circ}C$. Myofibrillar $Mg^{2+}$-ATPase activity in sample killed by spiking was not affected by $Ca^{2+}$ ion. Myofibrillar $Mg^{2+}$-ATPase activity of electrically stimulated sample in the absen-re of $Ca^{2+}$ decreased during storage at $5^{\circ}C$, whit $Mg^{2+}$-ATPase activity in unstimulated sample did not show any change. $Ca^{2+}$-sensitivity of myofibrils showed no differences between electrically stimulated sample and sample killed by spiking, and the was no change during at $5^{\circ}C$.

  • Myofibrillar protein(myofibil) was prepared from Yellowtail fish (Seriola quinqueradiata), and then, it was stored at $0^{\circ}C$(ice-cooling), $-3.5^{\circ}C$(partial freezing) and $-20^{\circ}C$(freezing). Another myofibrils were prepared from the fish stored with ice-cooling, partial freezing and freezing for a week as the maximum. Denaturation of muscle protein during the storage was investigated by the measurement of $Ca^{2+}-$ and $Mg^{2+}-ATPase$ activity. Specific activity of $Ca^{2+}-\;and\;Mg^{2+}-ATPase$ associated with Yellowtail myofibrils was 0.155 and $0.149\;{\mu}\;mole$ Pi/min/mg of protein, respectively, before storgae. ATPase activity of myofibils did not show any significant difference between $0^{\circ}C$ and $-3.5^{\circ}C$ whereas it was decreased faster at $-20^{\circ}C$ than at $0^{\circ}C$ or $-3.5^{\circ}C$. ATPase activity of myofibirls extracted from the fish stored for a week was 1.2-1.8 times higher than myofibils stored with ice-cooling or partial freezing while it was 2.5-3 times higher than that with freezing. Apparent denaturation constant of $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$ of myofibrils was between 0.48-0.65, and it was 2-3 times higher than that of $Mg^{2+}-ATPase$. The constant of myofibrils extracted from the fish did not show significant difference between $Ca^{2+}-\;and\;Mg^{2+}-ATPase$.

  • In order to investigate the mechanisms of epithelial ion transports, microsomes of soybean roots were prepared and the activity of microsomal ATPases was measured by an enzyme-coupled assay. The effects of various ions were evaluated on the total activity of microsomal ATPases and the average activity was 190 nmol/min/mg protein in the control solution containing $10\;mM\;Na^+\;and\;120\;mM\;K^+$. The activities were increased to 150% and decreased to 63% of the control activity in the solution containing $130\;mM\;K^+$ without $Na^+$ and in the solution containing $130\;mM{\;}Na^+$ without $K^+$, respectively. In general, the activity of microsomal ATPase was increased by$K^+$ in a concentration-dependent manner The activity was also increased at lower pH and relatively higher activities were observed in the pH range of $6{\sim}7$. However, the activity was decreased at weak alkaline $pH\;and{\sim}80%$ of the activity was inhibited at pH 9. Since intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ has been known to control the activity of various enzymes, we have investigated the effects of intra-and extrarnicrosomal $Ca^{2+}$ on the activity of microsomal ATPases. The maximal activity was obtained at the extrarnicrosomal $Ca^{2+}$ concentrations below 1 nM. The activity was gradually decreased by increasing $‘Ca^{2+}’$ concentration and 50% inhibition was observed at ${\sim}500{\;}{\mu}M{\;}Ca^{2+}$. The increase in luminal $Ca^{2+}$ concentration also inhibited the activity of microsomal ATPase. When the influx of external $Ca^{2+}$ was induced by $Ca^{2+}$ ionophore A23187 treatment, the activity was decreased by 30%; however, it was recovered by EGTA-induced chelation of $Ca^{2+}$. These results suggest that the presence of $Ca^{2+}$ regulation sites on both cytoplasmi and luminal sides of microsomal ATPases.
