This is the first report of a natural product mediating the tight and apparently nonsaturable binding of a membrane potential probe to subcellular compartments. The potentiated TPP+ accumulation was dose dependent, nonsaturable, and not a result of hyperpolarization across the plasma membrane. Cyclopiazonic acid-potentiated accumulation was completely inhibited by the protonophore carbonylcyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP). Dinitrophenol (DNP), tetrahexylammonium (THA), and n-ethylmaleimide (NEM) were also effective inhibitors of CPA-potentiated TPP+ accumulation. Although CPA-potentiated TPP+ uptake appeared to be energy dependent, TPP+ efflux (in the presence of CCCP) from CPA-treated cells was incomplete and most of the TPP+ accumulated in the presence of CPA was tightly bound. Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), verapamil, and monensin also stimulated TPP+ accumulation, but the TPP+ which accumulated in the presence of these compounds was not tightly bound. As with controls, fractionation of cells which had accumulated TPP+ in the presence of DCC, verapamil, or monensin always resulted in near complete recovery (greater than 93%) of the TPP+ in the cytosolic fraction, whereas with CPA, greater than 88% of the TPP+ was recovered noncovalently bound in the plasma membrane and mitochondrial fractions. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that CPA-potentiated TPP+ accumulation is a result of potentiated partitioning of TPP+ into the plasma membranes and mitochondria of LLC-PK1 cells.</p>","PeriodicalId":15255,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biochemical toxicology","volume":"1 4","pages":"13-29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/jbt.2570010403","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14398496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present studies were initiated to evaluate the mechanism of inhibition of Ca2+-ATPase by Plictran. Data on substrate and cationic activation kinetics of Ca2+-ATPase indicated alteration of Vmax and Km by Plictran (1 and 5 X 10(-8) M), suggesting a mixed type of inhibition. The beta-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol increased Vmax of both ATP- and Ca2+-dependent enzyme activities. However, the Km of enzyme was decreased only for Ca2+. Plictran inhibited isoproterenol-stimulated Ca2+-ATPase activity by altering both Vmax and Km of ATP as well as Ca2+-dependent enzyme activities, suggesting that after binding to a single independent site, Plictran inhibits enzyme catalysis by decreasing the affinity of enzyme for ATP as well as for Ca2+. Preincubation of enzyme with 15 microM cAMP or the addition of 2mM ATP to the reaction mixture resulted in slight activation of Plictran-inhibited enzyme. Pretreatment of SR with 5 X 10(-7) M propranolol and 5 X 10(-8) M Plictran resulted in inhibition of basal activity in addition to the loss of stimulated activity. Preincubation of heart SR preparation with 5 X 10(-5) M coenzyme A in combination with 5 X 10(-8) M Plictran partly restored the beta-adrenergic stimulation. These results suggest that some critical sites common to both basal- and beta-adrenergic-stimulated Ca2+-ATPase are sensitive to binding by Plictran, and the resultant conformational change may lead to inhibition of beta-adrenergic stimulation.</p>","PeriodicalId":15255,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biochemical toxicology","volume":"1 4","pages":"55-66"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/jbt.2570010406","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13992889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
