It has been reported that the $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase and the $Ca^{2+}-Na^+$ exchanger play an important role for the regulation of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ in somatic cells, the $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase located in the plasma membrane helps the $Ca^{2+}$ concentration in maintain low $[Ca^{2+}]_i$. Roldan & Fleming reported that the spermatozoan $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase plays an important role in the capacitation and acrosome reaction. We used to assess $Ca^{2+}$ changes by chlortetracycline (CTC) patterns in the capacitation and acrosome reaction of human and hamster spermatozoa. In the present study applying quercetin which has been known as an ATPase antagonist, the enzymatic effect of $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase on capacitation and acrosome reaction was found to be remarkable: a significant increase of the transformation from the original type to the B type and the AR type of spermatozoa. This finding suggests that $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase play an important role in the efflux and the influx of the $Ca^{2+}$ which have been known to be an essential factor for the capacitation and acrosome reaction, and that the inhibitory action of the $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase might be a prerequsit step toward the capacitation and acrosome reaction. In conclusion, this study suggest the considerable evidence as follows: the increment of the intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ concentration occurred by controlling the slope of $Ca^{2+}$ concentration through $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase activites in both the intracellular and extracellulr fluid may be important procedures for the capacitation and the acrosome reaction, and finally for fertilization of the sperm and ovum.

중추신경계의 혈관폐쇄 또는 충격손상에 의한 허혈병소에서 진행되는 병리적 변화에 산소유리라디칼이 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 시사되고 있다. 저자는 산소유리라디칼이 뇌조직에 미치는 영향 중 특히 신경세포 정지막전위 유지에 중요한 $Na^+-K^+-ATPase$의 활성도에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위하여 산틴산화효소 반응계와 뇌조직미크로좀을 이용하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 미크로좀분획(microsomal fraction)을 산틴과 산틴산화효소와 함께 반응시켰을 때, 분획의 $Na^+-K^+-ATPase$의 활성도는 현저한 불활성화를 보인 반면, $Mg^{++}-ATPase$의 활성도는 별로 영향을 받지 않았다. 이 불활성화는 산틴과 신틴산화효소 중 어느 한 물질이라도 반응계에 존재하지 않는 경우에는 나타나지 않았고, 두 물질이 같이 반응계에 존재할 때 나타났다. 산틴과 산틴산화효소의 반응에서 생성되는 산소유리라디칼들 중, 어떤 것이 $Na^+-K^+-ATPase$불활성화에 관계하고 있는가를 알아보기 위하여, 산수유리라디칼 각각에 대하여 제독작용을 가진 효소나 화학물질을 사용하여 불활성화의 저해유무를 관찰하였다. $O_{\bar{2}}{\cdot}$의 제독효소인 superoxide dismutase, $H_2O_2$의 제독효소인 catalase와 $^1O_2$의 제독물질인 1,4-diazabixyclo(2,2,2)octane을 각각 사용하였을 때, 이들 물질들이 농도에 비례하여 $Na^+-K^+-ATPase$의 불활성화가 저해되었다. 그러나 $OH{\cdot}$의 제독물질인 mannitol은 뚜렷한 효과를 보이지 못했다. 이상의 결과는 산소유리라디칼들 중 $O_{\bar{2}}{\cdot},\;H_2O_2$ 및 $^1O_2$가 $Na^+-K^+-ATPase$의 불활성화에 관계하고 있고, $OH{\cdot}$는 거의 관계하지 않는다는 것을 시사하여 주었다. 이로 미루어, 산소유리라디칼에 의한 뇌조직 $Na^+-K^+-ATPase$의 불활성화는 뇌 허혈병소에서 관찰되는 신경세로의 기능적 장해를 유발시키는 한 요인으로 사료되었다.

The effects of various sedative cyclopeptides and peptide alkaloids from the Zizyphus species on calmodulin-dependent $Ca^{2+}$ -ATPase and phosphodiesterase were Investigated. Calmodulin-induced activation of $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase was strongly inhibited by sanjoinine-A dialdehyde (IC_{50}$, 2.3$\mu\textrm{m}$), -Ah1 (IC_{50}$, 4.0$\mu\textrm{m}$), -A (IC, 4.6$\mu\textrm{m}$), and -G2 (IC_{50}$, 7.2$\mu\textrm{m}$), while calmodulin-induced activation of phosphodiesterase was strongly inhibited by both deachuine- S10 (IC_{50}$, 4.9$\mu\textrm{m}$) and sanjoinine-D (IC_{50}$, 9.0$\mu\textrm{m}$). The inhibitory activity of the various cyclopeptides and peptide alkaloids on $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase was found to correlate well with their Sedative activity.

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.

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.

Phytolaccae Radix (PR), Brunella Herba (BH), Akebiae Lignum (AL) and Atractylis Rhizoma (AR) are some of the diuretic agents used in Chinese medicine and folk remedy. Water or methanol extracts of them (100mg/kg) were intravenously injected to rabbits in order to re-evaluate the effects on renal function. PR water extract elicited moderate diuresis while water extracts of BH, AL and methanol extract of AR had antidiuretic effects. Influence of PR on renal hemodynamics and $Na^+-K^+$-ATPase activity in rabbit kidney were observed in vivo and in vitro. The results were as follows: 1) Clearances of inulin and p-aminohippuric acid increased significantly after 15 minutes following the administration of PR water extract, but Na+ reabsorption rate was not changed. 2) The increase of $Na^+-K^+$-ATPase activity in renal cortex, outer and inner medulla was observed at 15 minutes after PR water fraction was given intravenously, and the change was most prominent in cortical area. 3) More than 50% of decrease in $Na^+-K^+$-ATPase activity in renal tissues was observed with PR water fraction $(10^{-2}g/ml)$ in vitro experiments. However, the inhibition of $Na^+-K^+$-ATPase activity was reversed with lower concentrations $(10^{-4}g/ml,\;10^{-6}g/ml)$ of PR water fraction in outer and inner medullary zone. These results suggest the diuretic effect of PR is due to improved renal hemodynamics, and contradictory reults concerning $Na^+-K^+$-ATPase activity require further investigation.

Everted membrane vesicles of Helicobacter pylori were prepared and the membrane-resided ATPases were characterized. For comparison, Escherichia coli membrane ATPases and hog gastric mucosal H,K-ATPase were employed. ATPase assay revealed that the composite enzyme pool was relatively low in specific activities, below 1/10 times than that found in E. coli. According to their inhibitory specificities, most of the ATPase pool appeared to belong to the P-type ATPase, sensitive to vanadate but not to azide. The enzyme pool was extraordinarily resistant against treatment by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD). Certain monovalent cations, e.g., $K^+$ or $NH_4^{+}$ stimulated the whole enzyme pool only in the presence of $Mg^{2+}$. On the contrary, $Ni^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ increased enzyme activity rather effectively without the aid of $Mg^{2+}$. Under a defined condition employed, H. pylori cells could retain the membrane ATPase pool to the extent of $17{\%}$ at pH 3.2. Moreover, its activity was most stable in acidic conditions (pH 5.4-6.4). However, cytoplasmic or peripheral ATPase pools were hardly detected under acidity (below pH 4.6).

생선회의 육질을 향상시키는 연구의 일환으로 어육에 있어서 전기자극에 의한 근수축의 증대원인을 밝히고자 전기자극처리가 근소포체의 특성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 넙치 근소포체의 $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase는 $50^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서 실활되었으며, 전기자극시킨 경우 즉살한 것에 비하여 낮은 $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase활성을 나타내었다. 근육을 $5^{\circ}C$에 저장하였을때 시간이 길어질수록 근소포체의 $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase는 치사직후에 비하여 저하되는 경향을 보였으며, 전기자극 시간이 길어질수록 빠르게 저하되었고. 35초와 60초간 전기 자극시킨 것은 비슷한 저하속도를 나타내었다. SDS-PAGE 결과, 97kDa과 68kDa의 성분이 주된 구성단백질이었으며. 전기자극 시킨것은 즉살시킨 것에 비하여 97kDa의 성분이 감소되었고 전기자극 시간이 길어질수록 현저하였다. LSR은 $27\~32\%$ sucrose 농도에서, HSR은 $38\~45\%$의 농도에서 얻을 수 있었다. LSR의 $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase는 전기자극에 의하여 실활되었으며, HSR은 큰 영향을 받지 않았다 근원섬유의 $Mg^{2+}$-ATPase 활성은 전기자극처리에 의하여 증가되었으며 자극시간이 길어질수록 저장 중 $Mg^{2+}(+Ca^{2+}$)-ATPase 활성의 저하는 즉살한 것에 비하여 빠르게 진행되었다. $Mg^{2+}(-Ca^{2+}$)-ATPase 활성의 변화는 $Mg^{2+}(+Ca^{2+}$)-ATPase 활성과 비슷한 경향을 나타내었으며, 전기자극한 것은 저장 중 저하되었으나 즉살한 것은 치사 직후와 비교하여 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 근원섬유의 $Ca^{2+}$-감수성은 즉살과 전기자극한 것 사이에 차이를 나타내지 않았으며, 저장 중에도 변화를 보이지 않았다.
