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.

우리나라에서 사육되는 오리고기로 부터 Myofibrillar protein 을 추출하여 생채 촉매인 ATPase의 활성을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. Mg- activated ATPase 활성은 이온 강도가 낮을때 활성은 증가하고 이온농도가 높으면 활성은 감소되었으며 바다오리와 사육장오리고기 사이에 차이가 있었다. 2. Myofibrillar protein 의 ATPase 활성에 EDTA의 영향은 $4.6{\mu}g$ 을 넣었을때 ATPase 활성은 오히려 증가 되었으나 $6.9{\mu}g$ 이상인때 활성이 감소되었다. 3. Myofibrillar protein의 ATPase 활성에 $Ca^{++}$ 의 영향은 $3{\mu}g$ 이상을 첨가할때 활성이 현저히 감소되었다. 4. Myofibrillar protein의 ATPase 활성에 $Mg^{++}$의 영향은$3.6{\mu}g$ 을 첨가하면서 활성은 현저히 감소되었다. 사사: 본 실험을 수행하는데 수고한 조교 임경애의 노고에 감사한다.

The effects of ginseng saponins on the sarcolemmal $Na^{+}$, $K^{+}$-ATPase were compared to gypsophila saponin, sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), and Triton X-100 to elucidate whether the effects are due to the membrane distruption, using a highly enriched preparation of cardiac sarcolemma prepared from dog ventricular myocardium. About 26% and 29% of vesicles in the preparation, enriched in ouabain-sensitive $Na^{+}$, $K^{+}$-ATP ase, $\beta$-adrenergic and muscarinic receptors are rightside-out and inside-out orientation, respectively. Ginseng saponins (triol>total> diol) inhibited $Na^{+}$, $K^{+}$-ATP ase activity, $Na^{+}$, $K^{+}$-ATPase activity and [$^{3}$H]ouabain binding of sarcolemmal vesicles. However, gypsophila saponin, SDS (0.4$\mu$g/$\mu$g protein) and Triton X-100 (0.6 $\mu$g/$\mu$g protein) caused about 1.35 and 1.40-fold increase in $Na^{+}$, $K^{+}$-ATPase activity and [$^{3}$H] oubain binding, respectively. Especially, the activating effect of gypsophila saponin on membrane Na+, K+ ATPase was detected at gypsophila saponin to sarcolemmal protein ratios as high as 100. Low dose of ginseng saponin (3$\mu$g/$\mu$g protein) decreased the phosphorylation sites and the concentration of ouabain binding sites (Bmax) without affecting the turnover number and affinity for ouabain binding, while gypsophila saponin, SDS(0.4 ug/ug protein), ahd Triton X-100 (0.6$\mu$g/$\mu$g protein) increased the Bmax. The results suggest that ginseng saponins cause a decrease in the number of active sites by interacting directly with $Na^{+}$, $K^{+}$-ATPase before disruption of membrane barriers of sarcolemmal vesicles.

It has been demonstrated that vanadate causes nephrotoxicity. Vanadate inhibits renal sodium potassium adenosine triphosphatase (Na, K-ATPase) activity and this is more pronounced in injured renal tissues. Cardiac cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is enhanced by vanadate, while increased cAMP suppresses Na, K-ATPase action in renal tubular cells. There are no in vivo data collectively demonstrating the effect of vanadate on renal cAMP levels; on the abundance of the alpha 1 isoform (${\alpha}_1$) of the Na, K-ATPase protein or its cellular localization; or on renal tissue injury. In this study, rats received a normal saline solution or vanadate (5 mg/kg BW) by intraperitoneal injection for 10 days. Levels of vanadium, cAMP, and malondialdehyde (MDA), a marker of lipid peroxidation were measured in renal tissues. Protein abundance and the localization of renal ${\alpha}_1-Na$, K-ATPase was determined by Western blot and immunohistochemistry, respectively. Renal tissue injury was examined by histological evaluation and renal function was assessed by blood biochemical parameters. Rats treated with vanadate had markedly increased vanadium levels in their plasma, urine, and renal tissues. Vanadate significantly induced renal cAMP and MDA accumulation, whereas the protein level of ${\alpha}_1-Na$, K-ATPase was suppressed. Vanadate caused renal damage, azotemia, hypokalemia, and hypophosphatemia. Fractional excretions of all studied electrolytes were increased with vanadate administration. These in vivo findings demonstrate that vanadate might suppress renal ${\alpha}_1-Na$, K-ATPase protein functionally by enhancing cAMP and structurally by augmenting lipid peroxidation.

Using differential hybridization, a cDNA clone was isolated fortuitously from Amaranthus viridis and sequenced. This nucleotide sequence exhibited 55.1% identity with vma6 which encodes the 36-kD subunit of the vacuolar proton transporting ATPase in Saccharmoyces cerevisiae. The predicted open reading frame encodes a protein of 221 amino acid sequence with a calculated molecular weight of 25,452 and reveals high levels of similarity with subunit D polypeptide of vacuolar H -ATP(e.g., 48.5, 52.1 and 49.3% identity to the vacuolar 36-kD chain of yeast, vacuolar 32-kD polypeptide IV of human and vacuolar 28-kD protein of bovine chromaffin granules, respectively). The hydropathy index computation revealed that this predicted protein is a peripheral protein. These results indicated that the predicted protein may play a sturctural role in the vaculor H -ATPase as does gamma subunit in V-type ATPase.

본 실험에서는 MRF가 다량 존재하는 RBL-2H3 세포주에 다양한 PKC isotype별 억제제를 처리하여 in vitro상에서 Na, K-ATPase $\alpha$1L3를 이용한 pull-down assay와 RBL-2H3 세포를 이용한 membrane fractionation을 실시하였다. 그 결과 HRF는 in vitro에서 $\alpha$1L3와 결합한다는 사실을 재확인 할 수 있었고 실제 세포주 내에서 Na,K-ATPase와 결합한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 사용한 약물로부터 PKC $\alpha,\;\beta,\;\delta$뿐 아니라 protein phosphatase 2B(PP2B)도 HRF와 $\alpha$1L3의 결합에 관여한다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 또한 이들 PKC, PP2B에 의해 인산화된 HRF 분자는 cytosolic fraction으로 이행할 수 있으며 이러한 결과는 탈인산화된 HRF가 Na,K-ATPase와 결합하여 Na, K-ATPase의 기능을 조절한다고 추정할 수 있다. 그러나 약물자체가 histamine 분비에 영향을 미칠 수 있으며 cytosolic HRF보다 exocytosis된 HRF가 histamine를 더 분비하도록 할 수 있으므로, 약물을 전처리한 세포에 외부에서 HRF를 첨가하여 histamine이 유리되는 정도가 어떻게 변화하는지를 HRF를 가하지 않은 결과와 비교해야 할 것이다.

The multifunctional triple gene block protein 1 (TGB1) of the Potexvirus Alternanthera mosaic virus (AltMV) has been reported to have silencing suppressor, cell-to-cell movement, and helicase functions. Yeast two hybrid screening using an Arabidopsis thaliana cDNA library with TGB1 as bait, and co-purification with TGB1 inclusion bodies identified several host proteins which interact with AltMV TGB1. Host protein interactions with TGB1 were confirmed by biomolecular fluorescence complementation, which showed positive TGB1 interaction with mitochondrial ATP synthase delta' chain subunit (ATP synthase delta'), light harvesting chlorophyll-protein complex I subunit A4 (LHCA4), chlorophyll a/b binding protein 1 (LHB1B2), chloroplast-localized IscA-like protein (ATCPISCA), and chloroplast ${\beta}$-ATPase. However, chloroplast ${\beta}$-ATPase interacts only with $TGB1_{L88}$, and not with weak silencing suppressor $TGB1_{L88}$. This selective interaction indicates that chloroplast ${\beta}$-ATPase is not required for AltMV movement and replication; however, TRV silencing of chloroplast ${\beta}$-ATPase in Nicotiana benthamiana induced severe tissue necrosis when plants were infected by AltMV $TGB1_{L88}$ but not AltMV $TGB1_{L88}$, suggesting that ${\beta}$-ATPase selectively responded to $TGB1_{L88}$ to induce defense responses.

$Na^+/K^+$-ATPase is a membrane protein and plays a key role in osmotic regulation in living organisms. In the present study, a cDNA sequence encoding the $Na^+/K^+$-ATPase alpha subunit from the monogonont rotifer, Brachionus koreanus was cloned by rapid amplification of cDNA ends technique. To investigate the role of this enzyme in osmotic stress, enzymatic activities of $Na^+/K^+$-ATPase were measured after exposure to different salinities for 48 h. The full-length Bk $Na^+/K^+$-ATPase cDNA was 3069 bp-long, encoding a 1022-amino acid polypeptide. Bk $Na^+/K^+$-ATPase possesses eight membrane spanning regions and five conserved domains. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Bk $Na^+/K^+$-ATPase had high identity with those of other species, and was closely clustered with other Brachionus sp. These findings indicate that this protein was conserved both structurally and functionally. B. koreanus $Na^+/K^+$-ATPase activity was stimulated in both hyposaline (6 psu) and hypersaline (32 psu) conditions, suggesting that this protein may play a role in osmoregulation. This study would provide better understanding of the physiology of B. koreanus and this enzyme may be useful as a molecular marker for evaluation of osmotic stress in aquatic environment.

Blue light (BL) induces stomatal opening through activation of H$^{+}$ pump, which creates electrical gradient across the plasma membrane for $K^{+}$ uptake into guard cells. The pump is the plasma membrane H$^{+}$ -ATPase and is activated via phosphorylation of the C-terminus with concomitant binding of the 14-3-3 protein. The opening is initiated by the perception of BL through phototropin (phot), which are recently identified as BL receptors in stomatal guard cells. In this study, we provide the biochemical evidence for phots as BL receptors in stomatal guard cells. vfphot was phosphorylated reversibly by BL, and phosphorylation levels of vfphot increased earlier than those of the plasma membrane W-ATPase. BL-dependent phosphorylations of vfphot and H$^{+}$-ATPase showed similar fluence dependency. Staurosporin, an inhibitor of serine/threonine protein kinase, and diphenyleneiodonium chloride (DPI), an inhibitor of flavoprotein, inhibited BL-dependent phosphorylations of vfphot and H$^{+}$ -ATPase. These results indicate that vfphot acts as a BL-receptor mediating stomatal opening.l opening.
