Fragmente dsarcoplasmic reticulum of rabbit skeletal muscle was prepared and biochemical properties of its ATPase activity were studied. The ATPase of the fragments could be distinguished as $Mg^++ - ATPase and (Mg^++ - Ca^++)$-ATPase. The activity of $(Mg^++ - Ca^++)$-ATPase was predominant over that of $Mg^++$-ATPase in the temperature range of $0 \\sim 40^\\circ C$ and in the pH 6.4$\\sim$7.6. At higher temperatures the predominance of $(Mg^++ - Ca^++)$-ATpase was far greater. The apparent energies of activation were 14 kcal/mole for $Mg^++$-ATPase, 21kcal/mole for $(Mg^++ - Ca^++)$-ATPase, and 18kcal/mole for total ATPase. Changes in pH and Mg concentration did not alter the energies of activation of these ATPases. The Km values of these ATPases were found to be 0.36 mM for $Mg^++$-ATPase, 2.20 mM for $(Mg^++ - Ca^++)$-ATpase, and 0.86 mM for total ATPase.

To explore the action mechanism of Ijintang in the brain, the authors investigated the effects of Ijintang fractions on MgNaK ATPase and MgCa ATPase in rat brain synaptosomes prepared from cerebral cortex. The activities of MgNaK ATPase and MgCa ATPase were assayed by the level of inorganic phosphate liberated from the hydrolysis of ATP. Fraction WH-95-7 at the concentration of $10^{-2}%$ decreased the activity of MgNaK ATPase about 34.1% and also reduced the activity of MgCa ATPase about 49.3% But, other fractions (WB-95-7, WC-95-7, MB-95-7, MC-95-7, MH-95-7) did not significantly changed the activities of the MgNaK ATPase and MgCa ATPase The decreased activity of MgNaK ATPase by WH-95-7 will decrease the rate of $Ca^{2+}$ efflux, probably via an Na-Ca exchange mechanism and will increase the rate of $Ca^{2+}$ entry by the depolarization of nerve terminals. The reduced activity of MgCa ATPase by WH-95-7 will result in the decreased efflux of $Ca^{2+}$. As a conclusion, it can be speculated that lithium elevates the intrasynaptosomal $Ca^{2+}$ concentration via inhibition of the activities of MgNaK ATPase and MgCa ATPase. and this increased $[Ca^{2+}]i$ will cause the release of neurotransmitters.

$H^+-ATPase$ located on plasma and vacuolar membranes play major roles in various cellular physiological processes. In order to investigate the physiological roles of $H^+-ATPase$, microsomes were prepared from tomato roots and the effects of various anions were measured on the activities of $H^+-ATPase$. $H^+-ATPase$ was inhibited by various anions. Citrate and phosphate were chosen to investigate detailed inhibitory mechanisms on $H^+-ATPase$ since they showed different levels of inhibition. Inhibitory effect of citrate was observed at the concentrations above 3 mM. When 20 mM citrate was added, the ATPase activity was decreased by 50-60%. However, the inhibitory effect of citrate was decreased by increasing the concentration of$Mg^{2+}$ The citrate-induced inhibited activity was recovered by the addition of $Mg^{2+}$ Addition of 7 mM $Mg^{2+}$ completely removed the inhibitory effect of citrate and the activity recovered to the level of the control experiment. These results imply that citrate chelates $Mg^{2+}$ and thus inhibits $H^+-ATPase$. Meanwhile, the inhibitory effect of phosphate was observed at the concentration above 3 mM and the activity was decreased by 50% in the presence of 30 mM phosphate. Further addition of $Mg^{2+}$ showed no recovery on the activity. These results imply that the inhibitory effect of phosphate is not dependent upon the concentration of $Mg^{2+}$.

Seasonal changes in the activity and charaderistics of brain Na+, K+-ATPase and Mg2+-AWase were investigated in frog (Rana dybowskii) The brain Na+, K+-ATPase adivity during hibernation was similar to that in active period in frogs. The Na+, K+-AWase activity increased in December and March, when the frogs enter into and awake from the hibernation. Over 5-35$^{\circ}C$ temperature range, Na+, K+-ATPase showed non4inear Arrhenius kinetics throughout the year. The brain Mg2+-ATPase activity decreased during hibernation, but markedly increased in March. The Arrhenius plots for Mg2+-AWase activity were linear in frogs both in torpid and active state. The ratio of Na+, K+-AWase activity at 15~C to at 35~C did not change during hibernation. The sensitivity of Na+, K+-AWase to ouabain was also unchanged throughout the year. These results indicate that the activity and charaderistics of brain Na+, K+-AWase remain unchanged during hobernadon in frog.

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.

The sensor to determine ATPase activities was consisted of an immobilized enzyme membrane(purine nucloside phosphoryrase and xanthine oxidase) and an oxygen electrode. The proposed sensor was used for the determination of $K^+-, Ca^{2}+- and Mg^{2+}-$ATPase activities in several fish muscle proteins such as Thunnus albacares(Yellowfin tuna), Tetrapturus audax(Striped marlin), Prognichthys agoo(Japanese flyingfish), and Cypvinus carpio(Carp). $K^+-, Ca^{2}-$ATPase activities measured by the proposed sensor system were in good agreement with the results obtained by a conventional colorimetric assay. One cycle of assay could be completed within 3mlnutes.

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.

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 $Ca^{2+}-\;and\;Mg^{2+}-ATPase$.
