    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Beim isolierten Sarkolemm vom Rattenherzen wurde die Färbung mit kolloidalem Eisen, Ca-Bindung und Enzym-Aktivitäten untersucht. Die Färbung mit kolloidalem Eisen zeigte eine hohe Dichte negativ geladener Stellen an der Zelloberfläche. Es wurde festgestellt, daß diese Membranfraktion über Ca-Bindungsaktivität sowohl bei niedriger (0,1 mM) als auch bei hoher (1,25 mM) Ca-Konzentration verfügt. Vorbehandlung des Sarkolemms mit Trypsin, Phospholipase C oder Neuraminidase führte sowohl zu einer Abnahme der Färbung mit kolloidalem Eisen als auch zu einer verminderten Bindungsaktivität für Calcium bei hohen Ca-Konzentrationen. Die Ca-Bindung bei niedrigen Konzentrationen wurde sowohl durch Trypsin als auch durch Neuraminidase vermindert. Die Aktivität der Mg2+-ATPase, Ca2+-ATPase und Na+−K+-ATPase wurde durch Neuraminidase und Trypsin-Behandlung verändert, während Behandlung mit Phospholipase C nur die Na+−K+-ATPase beeinflußte. Es ergibt sich die Schlußfolgerung, daß sowohl den negativen Oberflächenladungen als auch den Ca-Bindungsstellen des isolierten Sarkolemms vom Rattenherzen ein Mosaik von Biomolekülen zugrunde liegt, welches Proteine, Phospholipide und Glycoproteine enthält, und daß Änderungen der Oberflächenladung die Aktivität membrangebundener Enzyme beeinflussen können.
    Notes: Summary Colloidal iron staining, calcium binding and enzyme activities were studied in the isolated rat heart sarcolemma. Colloidal iron staining of the sarcolemma revealed a high density of negatively charged sites associated with the cell surface. This membrane fraction was found to have calcium binding activity at both low (0.1 mM) and high (1.25 mM) concentrations of calcium. Pretreatment of the sarcolemma with either trypsin, phospholipase C or neuraminidase, was associated with a reduction in colloidal iron staining as well as decreased calcium-binding activity at high concentrations of calcium. Calcium binding at low concentrations was decreased by both trypsin and neuraminidase. Mg2+ ATPase, Ca2+ ATPase, and Na+−K+ ATPase activities were altered by neuraminidase and trypsin treatments, whereas phospholipase C treatment altered Na+−K+ ATPase only. It is concluded that both surface negative charge and calcium-binding sites associated with the isolated rat heart sarcolemma are contributed by a mosaic of biomolecules including proteins, phospholipids and glycoproteins, and alterations in the surface charge may influence the activities of membrane-bound enzymes.

    Notes: Summary A non-failing hypertrophy of the left ventricle was produced in the pig heart by supravalvular banding of aorta for 4, 8 and 12 weeks and the myosin and myofibrillar adenosine triphosphatase activities were measured. A significant increase in myosin Ca2+-ATPase activity was seen at 4 weeks of hypertrophy, but at 8 and 12 weeks this activity was significantly decreased compared to sham control. Similar changes were also seen in actin-activated myosin ATPase activities at 4, 8 and 12 weeks of hypertrophy. There were no changes in the K+- and NH4 +-EDTA-stimulated ATPase activities of myosin. Basal ATPase activities of myofibrils were decreased at 4 and 8 weeks of hypertrophy and there was no change in this activity at 12 weeks of hypertrophy. Ca2+ stimulated ATPase activity of myofibrils was significantly increased at 4 weeks, normal at 8 weeks and significantly reduced at 12 weeks of hypertrophy. The changes in ATPase activities were not due to any alterations of proteins by high concentrations of salts during the purification of myosin. The non-hypertrophied right ventricle from the banded animals did not show any change in the basal or Ca2+ stimulated myofibrillar ATPase activities. It is suggested that hypertrophy of the myocardium is accompanied by specific changes in the enzyme activities of the contractile proteins and the biphasic responses may correlate with the functional state of the myocardium subjected to a chronic increase in pressure.
