Alterations of cardiovascular function associated with various thyroid states have been studied. In hyperthyroidism left ventricular contractility and relaxation velocity were increased, whereas these parameters were decreased in hypothyroidism. The mechanisms for these changes have been suggested to include alterations in the expression and/or activity levels of various proteins; ${\alpha}-myosin$ heavy chain, ${\beta}-myosin$ heavy chain, ${\beta}-receptors,$ the guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein, and the sarcolemmal $Ca^{2+}-ATPase.$ All these cellular alterations may be associated with changes in the intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ concentration. The most important regulator of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ concentration is the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), which serves as a $Ca^{2+}$ sink during relaxation and as a $Ca^{2+}$ source during contraction. The $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$ and phospholamban are the most important proteins in the SR membrane for muscle relaxation. The dephosphorylated phospholamban inhibits the SR $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$ through a direct interaction, and phosphorylation of phospholamban relieves the inhibition. In the present study, quantitative changes of $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$ and phospholamban expression and the functional consequences of these changes in various thyroid states were investigated. The effects of thyroid hormones on (1) SR $Ca^{2+}$ uptake, (2) phosphorylation levels of phospholamban, (3) SR $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$ and phospholamban protein levels, (4) phospholamban mRNA levels were examined. Our findings indicate that hyperthyroidism is associated with increases in $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$ and decreases in phospholamban levels whereas opposite changes in these proteins occur in hypothyroidism.

Agents that activate or inhibit the $Ca^{2+}$ release channel in cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) were tested for their abilities to affect the activity of the SR $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase. Vesicles of junctional SR (heavy SR, HSR) from terminal cisternae were prepared from porcine cardiac muscle by density gradient centrifugation. The steady-state activity of $Ca^{2+}$-ATPases in intact HSR vesicles was/$347{\pm}5\;nmol/min{\cdot}mg$ protein (${\pm}$ SD). When the HSR vesicles were made leaky, the activity was increased to $415{\pm}5\;nmol/min{\cdot}mg$ protein. This increase is probably due to the uncoupling of HSR vesicles. Caffeine (10 mM), an agonist of the SR $Ca^{2+}$ release channel, increased $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase activity in the intact HSR vesicle preparation to $394{\pm}30\;nmol/min{\cdot}mg$ protein. However, caffeine had no significant effect in the leaky vesicle preparation and in the purified $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase preparation. The effect of caffeine on SR $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase was investigated at various concentrations of $Ca^{2+}$. Caffeine increased the pump activity over the whole range of $Ca^{2+}$ concentrations, from $1\;{\mu}M$ to $250\;{\mu}M$, in the intact HSR vesicles. When the SR $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase was inhibited by thapsigargin, no caffeine effect was observed. These results imply that the caffeine effect requires the intact vesicles and that the increase in $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase activity is not due to a direct interaction of caffeine with the enzyme. We propose that the activity of SR $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase is linked indirectly to the activity of the $Ca^{2+}$ release channel (ryanodine receptor) and may depend upon the amount of $Ca^{2+}$ released by the channels.

D. radiodurans RecA 단백질은 DNA에 결합한 DNA-단백질 복합체만이 ATPase 활성을 나타내며. 보통의 낮은 염 농도조건에서는 DNA가 존재하지 않으면 RecA 단백질에 의한 ATP 가수분해는 거의 일어나지 않았으나 이러한 ATP 가수분해현상은 높은 농도의 염을 첨가하게 되면 1,000배 활성화 되었으며 1.6 M KCl이 존재할 때 ATP 혹은 dATP를 가수분해 하였다. DNA가 존재하지 않을 때 염에 의해 촉진되는 활성은 RecA 단백질 농도에 비례하였고, 더 높은 염농도에서 더 높은 ATP 가수분해 활성이 나타났다. 이러한 활성화 현상을 다양한 종류의 이온 형태에서 분석하였을 때 1.6 M Cl 음이온이 존재할 때 양이온의 형태에 따른 활성화 정도는 $K^+{\geq}Na^+$> $NH_4^+$의 경향을 보였으며, 1.6 M의 K 양이온 존재할 때 음이온의 형태에 따른 활성화는 glutamate > $Cl^-$ > acetate > $PO_4^-$의 순서로 높게 나타났다. 고농도의 염이 존재하는 조건에서 DNA 비의존성 ATPase의 활성은 비교적 넓은 범위 최적 조건인 pH7과 pH 8 사이에서 최대 활성을 보였고, 기질에 대한 친화도면에서도 외가닥 DNA 의존성 활성보다는 이중가닥 DNA 의존성 활성형태를 보였다. 고농도의 염이 첨가되고 DNA가 존재하지 않을 때 RecA 단백질에 의한 ATP 가수분해를 위한 RecA 단백질의 활성 종 형태는 최소 3개의 RecA 단백질이 결합되어 있는 과량체로 작용하는 것으로 나타났다.

$Na^+,K^+$-ATPase activity, $Na^+$-dependent phosphorylation, and $[^3H]$ ouabain binding in sarcolemma prepared from 4 week old spontaneously hypertensive rat(SHR) ventricles were compared to the same parameters in sarcolemma from age matched nomotensive Wister-Kyoto (WKY) rat ventricles to examine whether the reduced myocardial $Na^+$-pump activity in SHR is an inherited enzymatic defect or a second phenomenon due to sustained hypertension. The total body weights, ventricular weights, and blood pressures were the same for SHR and WKY. No significant differences in sarcolemmal protein content and protein recovery were noted between the two groups. Sarcolemma isolated from SHR ventricles showed significantly less $Na^+,K^+$-ATPase activity ande number of phosphorylation sites when compared to sarcolemma from the WKY ventricles. Equilibrium binding of $[^3H]$ouabain and the tumover number of myocardial $Na^+,K^+$-ATPase, however, were the same for both groups. These reults indicate that the low affinity $(\alpha,\;or\;\alpha^1)\;\alpha$ isoform is the same in ventricles of SHR and WKY. The reduced amount of isoform of the $Na^+,K^+$-ATPase inprehypetensive SHR ventricles may play some role in the development of hypertension.

소포체는 세포막의 합성뿐만 아니라 세포막에 존재하거나 세포외로 분비되어져야 할 단백질을 합성하는 세포내 소기관이다. 소포체에서 단백질이 합성되어질 경우 이황화결합이 형성되고 glycosylation 등의 수식이 일어나며, 이와 동시에 folding과 assembly과정을 거쳐 삼차원적 구조로 성숙이 되는데 이 과정은 folding enzyme과 molecular chaperone의 도움을 받아 이루어진다. 소포체 내에 존재하는 molecular chaperone 중 가장 잘 알려진 것으로 BiP이 있다. BiP의 기능은 N-terminus의 ATPase domain에 의해 조절되고 ATPase domain은 이것과 선택적으로 결합하는 조절인자에 의해 ATPase의 활성이 영향을 받는다. BiP의 핵산치환조절인자로서 발견된 BAP은 ATPase domain에 결합된 ADP를 ATP로 치환하는 것으로 기능이 알려져 있다. 이 BAP의 핵산치환기능이 BiP의 샤페론 작용에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 in vitro에서 항체 heavy chain을 이용하여 알아보았다. BAP은 ATP보다 ADP가 결합되어 있는 BiP과 더 잘 결합을 하며, in vitro에서 BiP과 결합하고 있는 unfolded 단백질을 BAP은 BiP으로부터 해리하였다. 또한 소포체내에 존재하는 Hsp70 homologue chaperone인 BiP과 Grp170에 대한 BAP의 결합특이성을 anti-Grp170과 anti-BAP 항체로 co-immunoprecipitation을 하여 확인한 결과 BAP은 Grp170과 결합을 하지 않았다. 따라서 BAP은 ER내에 존재하는 동일한 family group에 속하는 Grp170과 BiP에 대하여 BiP에만 특이성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다.

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.

토끼의 골격근 小胞體의 ATPase 活性과 Ca吸收能에 미치는 caffeine의 영향을 조사 하였다. 遠心分離로 分劃된 小胞體에서 $2,000 \\sim 8,000 \\times G$ 分劃의 ATPase 活性은 caffeine에 의하여 增大되지만 $8,000 \\times G$ 以上의 分劃에서는 아무 영향도 받지 않았다. Caffeine에 의한 이 活性增大는 이 分劃에 混在하는 mitochondria의 ATPase 活性이 增大 된 結果라고 해석된다. 小胞體의 $2,000 \\sim 10,000 \\times G$ 分劃과 $10,000 \\sim 20,000 \\times G$ 分劃의 Ca吸收能도은 反應液內 Ca의 농도가 200 nmoles/mg protein 정도 이상일 때는 caffeine에 의하여 현저히 阻害되지만, Ca의 농도가 이 以上이 때는 2,000$\\sim$10,000 分劃에서만 이 阻害現象을 볼 수 있다. 低農度 Ca에서의 이 阻害現象은 caffeine에 의하여 mitochondira의 Ca吸收도 阻害되기 때문에 나타나는 것으로 해석된다. Caffiene에 의한 筋收縮의 誘發 및 逕縮現象은 筋小胞體의 Ca 吸收가 이 特質에 의하여 阻害되고 또 蓄積된 Ca이 放出되기 때문에 일어나는 것으로 해석된다.
