식물세포의 세포질 $Ca^{2+}$ 이동과 관련된 $Ca^{2+}$ 수송 특성을 조사하기 위하여, 토마토 뿌리조직으로부터 마이크로솜을 분리하고, $^{45}Ca^{2+}$ 흡수 실험을 수행하였다. 반응용액에 P-type ATPase의 선택적 저해제인 1 mM vanadate와 액포막 $H^+-ATPase$의 선택적 저해제인 50 mM $NO_3^-$를 첨가하였을 때, $^{45}Ca^{2+}$ 흡수는 각각 20%와 33%가 저해되었고, 두 가지 저해제를 동시에 첨가하였을 때, 약 47%가 저해되었다. 이러한 저해효과의 특성을 밝히기 위하여 protonophore인 gramicidin을 처리하여 막을 경계로 형성된 $H^{+}$의 농도기울기를 감소시켰을 때, $^{45}Ca^{2+}$ 흡수는 30% 가량 저해되어, 토마토 뿌리조직 마이크로솜에 $Ca^{2+}/H^+$ antiporter가 존재할 가능성을 확인하였다. Gramicidin의 저해효과는 vanadate에 의한 $^{45}Ca^{2+}$ 흡수 저해 이후에도 대조실험과 같은 정도로 얻어져 vanadate의 저해효과와는 무관한 것이 확인되었다. 그러나, $NO_3^-$를 처리하여 $^{45}Ca^{2+}$ 흡수를 저해시킨 후, gramicidin에 의한 추가저해는 거의 관측되지 않았다. 한편, 동물조직 ER/SR-type $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$의 선택적 저해제인 thapsigargin은 마이크로솜 $^{45}Ca^{2+}$ 흡수를 농도 의존적으로 저해하였으며, $10\;{\mu}M$ 농도에서 최대 저해효과를 나타냈다. Thapsigargin에 의한 저해효과는 $NO_3^-$를 사용하여 액포막 $H^{+}-ATPase$ 활성을 저해하였을 때와 gramicidin을 사용하였을 때, 현저하게 감소하였으며 , vanadate의 효과와는 무관하였다. 이러한 결과는 vanadate가 직접적으로 $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$를 저해하며, $NO_3^-$와 thapsigargin은 액포막에 위치한 $H^{+}-ATPase$의 활성을 저해하여 간접적으로 $Ca^{2+}/H^+$ antiporter를 저해함을 의미한다. 결론적으로, 본 연구의 결과는 토마토 뿌리조직에 $Ca^{2+}$ 이동을 유발하는 주요 효소로서 $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$와 액포막 $Ca^{2+}/H^+$ antiporter가 존재함을 보여준다.

The present study was examined the effects of Bojungchiseup-tang water extract on the renal expression of renal function regulatory proteins including aquaporin 2 (AQP 2), aquaporin 3 (AQP 3), Na, K-ATPase α1 subunit, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (ecNOS), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in rats. The renal expression of AQP 3 was attenuated in rats administered with Bojungchiseup-tang water extract without altered expression of AQP 2, while ecNOS was up-regualted. Oral administration of Bojungchiseup-tang water extract (40 ㎕/100 g) also attenuated the renal expression of Na, K-ATPase α1-subunit and iNOS protein. These results suggest that the diuretic and natriuretic effects of Bojungchiseup-tang maybe causely related with a decreased expression of AQP 3 and increased expression of ecNOS.

Objectives ; This study was undertaken to determine whether Carthami-Flos aquacapuncture (CFA) exerts protective effect against oxidant-induced inhibition of $Na^+-K^+$-ATPase activity in cerebral synaptosomes. Methods and Results ; The enzyme activity was dependent on incubation time and enzyme protein concentrations. An oxidant t-butylhydroperoxide (tBHP) at 1 mM concentration caused a significant inhibition of $Na^+-K^+$-ATPase activity, which was prevented by addition of 0.01% CFA. tBHP inhibition and CFA protection were independent on incubation time or enzyme protein concentrations. The enzyme activity was increased by ATP in a dose dependent manner. Effects of tBHP and CFA were not affected by ATP cocentrations. tBHP (1 mM) produced a significant increase in lipid peroxidation in cerebral synaptosomes, which was prevented by 0.01% CFA. CFA decreased oxygen free radicals generated induced by the phorbol-ester in a dose-dependent manner in human neutrophil. Conclusions ; These results suggest that CFA exerts protective effect against tBHP-induced inhibition of $Na^+-K^+$-ATPase activity, which is due to by an antioxidant action resulting from a direct scavenging effect of oxygen free radicals in the cerebral synaptosomes.

Cylinder-like crystals of $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$ provide views parallel to the lamellar plane, from which parameters of lamellar stacking can be directly measured. These parameters were measured using different preparation methods. Assuming that molecular packing is the same, data from lamellar plane could supplement those obtained by tilting large, thin plate-like crystals. However, base on data obtained .by electron microscopy and x-ray powder patterns, the plate-like crystal may have another scheme for stacking the lamellar. The projection map (h, 0, 1) from cylinder-like crystals using cryoelectron microscopy suggest the lamellar spacing can be variable.

Myofibril and actomyosin were prepared from red muscle and white muscle of fresh water fish and sea water fish, and their biochemical characteristics and SDS PAGE patterns of myofibril were compared. SDS PAGE analysis showed that electrophoretic patterns of myofibril were similar be tween white muscle and red muscle, while difference of 30kDa component of myofibril was detected between fresh water fish and sea water fish. When myofibril were treated with trypsin, difference in hydrolysis of heavy chain was observed between white muscle and red muscle. In activities of Ca ATPase, Mg ATPase, EDTA ATPase and ATPase activity pH curve, myofibrillar protein from fresh water fish showed higher specific activity than those from sea water fish.

산 강직근과 알카리 강직근의 사후 자장중 물리, 화학적 변화를 비교 검토하였다. 근섬유의 소편화도는 산강직근이 알카리 강직근에 비하여 저장 3일째부터 월등히 높았다. $Mg^{2+}$-ATPase 활성은 알카리 강직근이 저장 전기간 동안 산 강직근 보다 높았으며, 산 강직근은 저장 1일째, 알카리 강직근은 저장 3일째에 가장 높았다. $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase 활성에 있어서 산 강직근과 알카리 강직근 모두 전 저장기간 동안 약간 증가하는 경향이었으나 산 강직근은 알카리 강직근 보다 전기간 동안 활성도가 낮았다. Actomyosin의 용해성이나 myofibril의 전기영동상은 강직 형태에 따른 유의한 차이가 없었다.

Chronic exposure to cadmium (Cd) results in an inhibition of protein endocytosis in the renal proximal tubule, leading to proteinuria. In order to gain insight into the mechanism by which Cd impairs the protein endocytosis, we investigated the effect of Cd on the acidification of renal cortical endocytotic vesicles (endosomes). The endosomal acidification was assessed by measuring the pH gradient-dependent fluorescence change, using acridine orange or FITC-dextran as a probe. In renal endosomes isolated from Cd-intoxicated rats, the $V_{max}$ of ATP-driven fluorescence quenching ($H^+-ATPase$ dependent intravesicular acidification) was significantly attenuated with no substantial changes in the apparent $K_m,$ indicating that the capacity of acidification was reduced. When endosomes from normal animals were directly exposed to free Cd in vitro, the $V_{max}$ was slightly reduced, whereas the $K_m$ was markedly increased, implying that the biochemical property of the $H^+-ATPase$ was altered by Cd. In endosomes exposed to free Cd in vitro, the rate of dissipation of the transmembrane pH gradient after $H^+-ATPase$ inhibition appeared to be significantly faster compared to that in normal endosomes, indicating that the $H^+-conductance$ of the membrane was increased by Cd. These results suggest that in long-term Cd-exposed animals, free Cd ions liberated in the proximal tubular cytoplasm by lysosomal degradation of cadmium-metallothionein complex (CdMT) may impair endosomal acidification 1) by reducing the $H^+-ATPase$ density in the endosomal membrane, 2) by suppressing the intrinsic $H^+-ATPase$ activity, and 3) possibly by increasing the membrane conductance to $H^+$ ion. Such effects of Cd could be responsible for the alterations of proximal tubular endocytotic activities, protein reabsorption and various transporter distributions observed in Cd-exposed cells and animals.

We investigate the effects of cryoprotectant mixtures on the quality of sand lance surimi (SLS) during storage at $-30^{\circ}C$. We monitored freeze-induced denaturation of myofibrillar protein in SLS and examined the texture profile of SLS gel. Freeze-induced denaturation was assessed by evaluating SLS $Ca^{+2}$-ATPase activity. SLS gels prepared with sorbitol or sucrose and a mixture of both as cryoprotectant. Higher concentrations of cryoprotectants resulted in significantly higher residual SLS $Ca^{+2}$-ATPase activity at the same storage time (P < 0.05). Residual $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase activity of SLS prepared with sorbitol was higher than that of sucrose when cryoprotectant concentration and storage period were same. A blend of sorbitol and sucrose resulted in a stronger cryoprptective effect of SLS myofibrillar protein than did sorbitol or sucrose alone. The presence of a phosphate compound in SOP (3% sorbitol + 0.2% phosphate compound) resulted in higher SLS $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase activity than that of did 5% sorbitol. The hardness, brittleness, and elasticity values and a folding test of the SLS gels were significantly affected by cryoprotectant concentrations and the storage time. Preference scores and acceptance for texture in a sensory evaluation of the SLS gels increased with increasing sorbitol or sucrose concentration.

Endosomes lower their internal pH by an ATP-driven proton pump, which is critical to dissociation of many receptor-ligand complexes, the first step in the intracellular sorting of internalized receptors and ligands. Endosomes are known to exhibit n great range of pH values that can vary between 5.0 and 7.0 within a single cell although the factors that regulate endosomal pH remain uncertain. To evaluate the morphological and topological differences of endosomes in the different stages, confocal microscopy was used. The early endosomes labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran for 10 min at $37^{\circ}C$ were identifiable at the peripheral and tubule-vesicular endosome compartment. In contrast, the late endosomes formed by 10 min pulse and 20 min trace were located deeper in the cytoplasm and showed more vesicular features than early endosomes. For the purpose of determining whether ATP-dependent acidification was heterogeneous and whether the differences in acidification were attributed to differences in the activity of $Na^{+}-K^{+}$-ATPase and/or $Cl^{-}$ channel, endocytic compartments were fractionated into subpopulation using percoll gradient and measured ATP-dependent acidification. While all fractions exhibited ATP-dependent acidification activity, both the initial rate of acidification and extent of proton translocation were lower in early endosomes and gradually increased in late endosomes. Phosphorylation by PKA and ATP enhanced ATP-dependent acidification in both early and late endosomes, hut there was no difference in the degree of enhancement by phosphorylation between two subpopulations. When ATP-dependent acidification was determined in the presence or absence of vanadate ($Na_{3}VO_{4}$) or ouabain, only early endosomes exhibited the vanadate or ouabain dependent stimulation of acidification activity, suggesting the inhibition of $Na^{+}-K^{+}$-ATPase. Therefore, it seems probable that the inhibition of early endosome acidification by $Na^{+}-K^{+}$-ATPase observed in vitro at least in part plays a physiological role in controlling the acidification of early endosomes in vivo.
