Properties of the anion ATPase from rat red blood cell membranes were investigated. Diethyl ether treated membranes exhibited the increased activity of the anion ATPase. Na+, K+- and Ca2+-ATPase activities were not found in these preparations. The pH optimum of the anion ATPase was at pH 8.5. The enzyme was stimulated by methanol and inhibited by glycerol. Among the inorganic anions stimulators, inhibitors and indifferent substances were observed. Anions of thiocyanate, sulfite and bicarbonate altered noncompetitively the ATPase activity. Sulfite stimulated and thiocyanate inhibited the ATP hydrolysis in presence of magnesium, calcium, zinc, cobalt, manganese and nickel. Reactions with ATP, ITP, GTP but not with ADP and AMP used as substrates were sensitive to sulfite and thiocyanate. EGTA did not change the stimulation and inhibition effects of the anions on the ATPase activity. The similarity of properties of erythrocyte and mitochondrial ATPases is discussed.

Distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) is a significant clinical expression of Sjögren's syndrome (SS). While SS-related dRTA is traditionally linked to impaired H-ATPase, we report a unique case demonstrating selectively decreased anion exchanger 1 (AE1) expression with preserved H-ATPase expression. A 16-year-old girl with SS presented with muscle weakness, difficulty in ambulation, and severe hypokalemia.

Capsaicin, a polyphenol, is known to regulate energy expenditure and thermogenesis in adipocytes and muscles. However, its role in modulating uncoupling proteins (UCPs) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent thermogenesis in muscles remains unclear. This study investigated the mechanisms underlying the role of capsaicin in modulating the UCP- and ATP-dependent thermogenesis in C2C12 myoblasts, as well as the gastrocnemius (GM) and soleus muscles (SM) of mice.

The aim of this study was to decipher the reprogramming of protective machineries and sulfur metabolism, as responses to time-dependent effect of fluoride stress for 10 and 20days in two indica rice (Oryza sativa ) varieties. Unregulated accumulation of fluoride via chloride channels (CLC1 and CLC2) in 10-day-old (cv. Khitish) and 20-day-old (cv.

By revealing that the grape berry loses one H+ per accumulated sucrose at the inception of ripening, adopting a single fruit paradigm elucidates the fundamentals of the malate-sugar nexus, previously obscured by asynchrony in population-based models of ripening. More broadly, the development of the individual fruit was revisited from scratch to capture the simultaneous changes in gene expression and metabolic fluxes in a kinetically relevant way from flowering to overripening. Dynamics in water, tartrate, malate, hexoses, and K+ fluxes obtained by combining individual single fruit growth and concentration data allowed to define eleven sub-phases in fruit development, which distributed on a rigorous curve in RNAseq PCA.
