BiP, immunoglobulin binding protein, is an ER homologue of Hsp70. However, unlit other Hsp70 proteins, regulatory protein(s) for BiP has not been identified. Here, we demo strafed the presence of potential regulatory proteins for BiP using a pull -down assay. Since BiP can bind any unfolded protein, only the ATPase domain of BiP was used for the pull -down assay in order to minimize nonspecific binding. The ATPase domain was cloned to produce recombinant protein, which was then conjugated to CNBr-activated agarose. The structural conformation and ATP hydrolysis activity of the recombinant ATPase domain were similar to those of the native protein, light proteins from metabolically labeled mouse plasmacytoma cells specifically bound to the recombinant ATPase protein. The binding of these proteins was inhibited by excess amounts of free ATPase protein, and was dependent on the presence of ATP. These proteins were eluted by ADP. Of these proteins, Grp170 and BiP where identified. while the other were not identified as known ER proteins, from Western blot analyses. The presence of the ATPase-binding proteins for BiP was first demonstrated in this study, and our data suggest similar regulatory machinery for BiP may exist in the ER, as found in prokaryotes and other cellular compartments.

목적 : 생물학적 성질이 potassium과 유사하고 핵의학분야에서 널리 이용되고 있으며 쉽게 구할 수 있는 T1-201을 이용하여 $Na^+-K^+$ ATPase의 활성도를 측정할 수 있는지를 알아보고자, 배양한 백서 대동맥평활근세포와 사람의 제대동맥 평황근세포에서 $Na^+-K^+$ ATPase의 활성도를 측정하곤 기존의 Rb-86으로 측정한 방법과 비교하였다. 또한 T1-201로 측정한 활성도에 대한 포도당, 인슐린 및 PMA의 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: Sprague-Dawley 백서의 흉부대동맥과 인체태반의 제대동맥에서 얻은 평활근세포를 배양하여 사용하였고. ouabain첨가로 억제되는 Rb-86과 T1-201의 섭취율을 $Na^+-K^+$ ATPase에 의한 섭취율로 계산하여 활성도로 간주하였다. 결과: 배양된 백서대동맥 평활근세포에서 $Na^+-K^+$ ATPase 활성도는 고포도당배양액(22 mM) 상태에서 생리적 농도의 저포도당배양액(5 mM) 상태에 비하여 평균 28%의 저하를 보였으며, 인슐린 100 nM을 첨가하였을 때는 50%의 증가를 보였다. PKC효소를 활성화시키는 PMA는 20%의 증가를 나타내었다. 인체제대동맥의 평활근세포에서도 유사한 변화를 보였다. T1-201로 측정한 $Na^+-K^+$ ATPase의 활성도치의 변화는 Rb-86을 이용한 측정에서도 동일하게 나타났다. 결론: T1-201을 이용하여 측정한 $Na^+-K^+$ ATPase 황성도는 Rb-86을 이용한 측정치와 유사하여, T1-201은 세포막 $Na^+-K^+$ ATPase 활성도의 측정에 사용할 수 있으리라 판단된다. 인슐린과 PKC효소 자극제는 $Na^+-K^+$ ATPase 활성도를 증가시키고, 고농도의 포도당은 활성도를 감소시키는 것으로 사료된다.

The effects of ginseng saponin on the activity, phosphorylation, [$^{3}$H] ouabain binding and light scattering (disruption) of purified $Na^{+}$ ,$K^{+}$ -ATPase isolated from the outer medulla of sheep kidney were compared to those of gypsophila saponin, sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), and Triton X-100 on the same parameters. $Na^{+}$ , $K^{+}$ -ATPase activity, phosphorylation, and [$^{3}H$] ouabain binding were inhibited by ginseng saponin (triol>total>diol), SDS, or Triton X-100, but increased by gypsophila saponin. Low doses of ginseng saponin (3.mu.g saponin/.mu.g protein) decreased phosphorylation sites and ouabain binding site concentration (Bmax) without any change of turnover number and affinity for ouabain binding which were decreased by high dose of ginseng saponin (over 10.mu.g saponin/.mu.g protein), SDS or Triton X-100. On the other hand, gypsophila saponin increased the affinity without any change of Bmax for ouabain binding. Inhibition of $Na^{+}$ ,$K^{+}$ -ATPase activity by ginseng saponin and SDS or Triton X-100 appeared before and after decrease in light scattering, respectively. These data suggest that ginseng saponins (total, diol, triol saponin) inhibit $Na^{+}$ , $K^{+}$ -ATPase activity by specific direct and general detergent action at low and high concentrations, respectively, and this inhibitory action of ginseng sapornin to $Na^{+}$ , $K^{+}$ -ATPase is not general action of all saponins.

The effect of ginseng on the ATPase activity of rabbit ref cell membrane has been investigated. The experiments were also designed to determine whether the components of ginseng could be attributed to the effect on ATPase activity which dependent upon sodium plus potassium and is sensitive to ouabain. The following results were observed. 1. The activity of the $Na^{+}-K^{+}-ATPase$ from red cell membrane is stimulated by ginseng, and the concentration of ginseng for half-maximal activity is about 15 mg%. The pH optimum for the ginseng sensitive component is 7.6. 2. The portion of the enzyme activity stimulated by ginseng is completely abolished by ouabain. 3. The activating effect of ginseng on the ATPase, with a given concentration of sodium in the medium, is increased by raising the potassium concentration but activity ratio is decreased. 4. The activating effect of ginseng on the ATPase, with a given concentration of potassium in the medium, is increased by raising the sodium concentration but the activity ratio is decreased. 5. The ATPase activity is increased by small amounts of calcium but inhibited by larger amounts and the rate of activity by ginseng is constant. 6. The action of ginseng on the ATPase activity was not related to the sulfhydryl group of cysteine, the amino group of lysine, the imidazole group of histidine, the quanidinium group of arginine, the carboxyl group of aspartic acid, or the hydroxyl group of threonine. 7. The activating effect of ginseng on the ATPase activity may be not due to a saponin which is contained in ginseng.

It has been reported that the luteal function may be regulated by the intracellular calcium in luteal cells (Higuchi et al, 1976; Dorflinger et at, 1984; Gore and Behrman, 1984) which is adjusted partially by $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ activities in luteal cell membranes (Verma and Pennistion, 1981). However, the physicochemical and kinetic properties of $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ in luteal membranes were not fully characterized. This study was, therefore, undertaken to partially characterize the physicochemical and kinetic properties of $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ system in luteal membranes and microsomal fractions, known as an one of the major $Ca^{++}$ storge sites (Moore and Pastan, 1978), from the highly luteinized ovary Highly luteinized ovaries were obtained from PMSG-hCG injected immautre female rats. Light membrane and heavy membrane fractions and microsomal fractions were prepared by the differential and discontinuous sucrose density gradient centrifugation method desribed by Bramley and Ryan (1980). Light membrane and heavy membrane fractions and microsomal fractions from highly luteinized ovaries are composed of the two different kinds of $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ system. One is the high affinity $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ which is activated in low $Ca^{++}$ concentration (Km, 10-30 nM), the other is low affinity $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ activated in higher $Ca^{++}$ concentration $(K_{1/2},\;40\;{\mu}M)$. At certain $Ca^{++}$ concentrations, activities of high and low affinity $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ are the highest in light membrane fractions and are the lowest in microsomal fractions. It appeares that high affinity $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ system have 2 binding sites for ATP (Hill's coefficient; around 2 in all membrane fractions measured) and the positive cooperativity of ATP bindings obviously existed in each membrane fractions. The optimum pH for high affinity $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ activation is around S in all membrane fractions measured. The lipid phase transition temperature measured by Arrhenius plots of high affinity $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ activity is around $25^{\circ}C$. The activation energies of high affinity $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ below the transition temperature are similar in each membrane fractions, but at the above transition temperature, it is the hightest in heavy membrane fractions and the lowest in microsomal fractions. According to the above results, it is suggested that intracellular $Ca^{++}$ level, which may regulate the luteal function, may be adjusted primarily by the high affinity $Ca^{++}-ATPase$ system activated in intracellular $Ca^{++}$ concentration range $(below\;0.1\;{\mu}M)$.

The 70 kDa heat-shock protein (Hsp70) involved in various cellular functions, such as protein folding, translocation and degradation, regulates apoptosis in cancer cells. Recently, it has been reported that the green tea flavonoid (−)-epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG) induces apoptosis in numerous cancer cell lines and could inhibit the anti-apoptotic effect of human Hsp70 ATPase domain (hATPase). In the present study, docking model between EGCG and hATPase was determined using automated docking study. Epi-gallo moiety in EGCG participated in hydrogen bonds with side chain of K71 and T204, and has metal chelating interaction with hATPase. Hydroxyl group of catechin moiety also participated in metal chelating hydrogen bond. Gallate moiety had two hydrogen bondings with side chains of E268 and K271, and hydrophobic interaction with Y15. Based on this docking model, we determined two pharmacophore maps consisted of six or seven features, including three or four hydrogen bonding acceptors, two hydrogen bonding donors, and one lipophilic. We searched a flavonoid database including 23 naturally occurring flavonoids and 10 polyphenolic flavonoids with two maps, and myricetin and GC were hit by map I. Three hydroxyl groups of B-ring in myricetin and gallo moiety of GC formed important hydrogen bonds with hATPase. 7-OH of A-ring in myricetin and OH group of catechin moiety in GC are hydrogen bond donors similar to gallate moiety in EGCG. From these results, it can be proposed that myricetin and GC can be potent inhibitors of hATPase. This study will be helpful to understand the mechanism of inhibition of hATPase by EGCG and give insights to develop potent inhibitors of hATPase.

$H^+-ATPase$ 활성을 조절할 수 있는 물질을 찾기 위하여 토마토 뿌리조직으로부터 마이크로솜을 분리하고 $La^{3+}$의 효과를 조사하였다. 원형질막 및 액포막에 위치하는 $H^+-ATPase$의 활성은 각각의 선택적 저해제인 vanadate와 $NO_3-$의 처리시 감소하여, $La^{3+}$이 원형질막 및 액포막 $H^+-ATPase$ 활성을 모두 저해함을 확인하였다. 원형질막과 액포막 $H^+-ATPase$ 활성을 50% 저해하는 $La^{3+}$ 농도인 Ki 값은 각각 57, $78\;{\mu}M$이었다. $La^{3+}$에 의한 저해효과는 Triton X-100을 처리한 leaky 마이크로솜에서도 얻어져, $La^{3+}$이 이온채널의 존재와 관계없이 $H^+-ATPase$의 활성을 직접적으로 저해함을 확인하였다. 한편, Lak의 활성저해 효과는 ATP 농도 증가로 감소하였고, ATP의 효과는 농도 의존적으로 나타났으며, 7 mM ATP 의해 $La^{3+}$에 의한 $H^+-ATPase$ 활성 저해가 완전히 억제되었다. 이러한 결과로부터 $La^{3+}$은 원형질막과 액포막의 $H^+-ATPase$들에 결합하여 ATP 결합친화력을 감소시킴으로써 활성을 저해하며, 뿌리조직 $H^+-ATPase$의 활성조절제로 이용이 가능함을 확인하였다.

This study was undertaken to determine whether Buthus exract(BTE) affects Na^+-K^+-ATPase$ activity of nervous tissues. The enzym activity was measured in synaptosomal fraction prepared from rabbit brain cortex. Na^+-K^+-ATPase$ activity was inhibited by BTE over concentration range of 0.05-0.5% in a dose-dependent manner. The enzyme activity was increased by an increase in $Na^+$ concentration from 5 to 100mM, $K^+$ concentration from 0.5 to 10mM, and $Mg^{2+}$ concentration from 0.2 to 5mM. These changes in ion concentrations did not produce any effect on the inhibitory effect of BTE on $Na^+-K^+-ATPase$ activity. An increase in ATP concentration from 0.1 to 3mM caused an increase in the enzyme activity. The inhibition of the enzyme activity by BTE were not different between two ATP concentrations. A sulfhydryl group protector DTT prevented PCMB-induced inhibition of $Na^+-K^+-ATPase$ activity, but the BTE-induced inhibition was not altered by DTT. The inhibition of enzyme activity by combination of ouabain and BTE was not different from that by Buthus alone. These results suggest that Buthus exerts inhibitory effect on $Na^+-K^+-ATPase$ activity in cerebral synaptosomes, and the action mechansim is similar to that of ouabain.

미토콘드리아에서 생성하는 ATP는 미토콘드리아의 속막에 존재하는 전자전달계 효소(electron transferase)에 의해 생성되며, 이러한 전자전달계 효소는 복합체 I, II, III, IV, V로 구성되어 있다고 알려져 있다. ATP는 ATPase에 의해 생성되며, ATPase는 $F_0$와 $F_1$ 소복합체로 구성되어 있다. 미토콘드리아의 외막에는 Porin 또는 VDAC(voltage-dependent anion-selective channel)이라고 알려져 있는 미세한 구멍 형태의 단백질이 존재하며, 세포질에 존재하는 succinate, malate, ATP와 같은 음전하용질 또는 전자를 선택적으로 통과시키는 역할을 수행하는 것으로 보고된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 소의 심근 미토콘드리아에 존재하고 있는 porin과 ATPase의 기능과 분포의 관계를 알아보기 위하여, porin과 ATPase Ⅴ-${\beta}$ 항체를 면역반응법을 이용한 광학현미경과 이중면역반응법을 이용한 형광현미경으로 확인하고, 심근 미토콘드리아의 두 단백질 분포를 면역황금표지법을 이용한 전자현미경으로 관찰하였다. 미토콘드리아에서 porin 항체에 대한 미토콘드리아 조직항원의 발색은 조직내에서 전반적으로 관찰할 수 있었으며, ATPase 항체에 대한 조직항원의 발색은 세로면에서 관찰되었다. 이중면역응법에서 porin 항체와 ATPase는 각각 다른 조직에서 발색이 관찰되거나, 같은 조직 내에서 관찰되었다. 면역황금표지법에서 porin 항체는 미토콘드리아의 바깥막에서 황금입자가 표지된 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, ATPase는 미토콘드리아의 속막에서 황금입자가 표지된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 ATPase 항체가 황금입자로 표지되지 않은 미토콘드리아도 확인되었다. 이러한 결과로 porin 항체와 ATPase 항체는 미토콘드리아의 바깥막과 속막에 각각 분포양상을 확인하였다. porin 항체의 발색으로 인한 조직 내의 미토콘드리아가 존재하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며, ATPase 항체의 발색으로 인한 ATP를 생성하는 미토콘드리아를 확인할 수 있었다. 하지만 porin 항체의 반응으로 확인된 미토콘드리아가 반드시 ATP를 생성하는 것은 아니라는 것을 추측할 수 있었다.
