| Research Abstract |
In this project, we have investigated the mechanism of incuction of neurite outgrowth (NOG), cell differentiation, growth inhibiton and apoptosis by inhibitors against V-ATPases, such as bafilomycin, concanamycins and prodigiosins, and the mechanism of proton transport in V-ATPases.
We found that (1) V-ATPase inhibitors like bafilomycin induced apoptosis and NOG in new RNA-, protein-syntheses, and serine/threonine kinase-dependent mannaer, and K-252a- or A-kinase-independent manner, but they are different from each other : apoptosis-induction is different from NOG-induction in its insensitivitiy in tyrosin-phosphatase, arachidonate-cascade or Calmodulin-kinase independent manner, (2) apoptosis and NOG are also induced by prodigiosins but they are not induced by its H^+/Cl^- symporting activities, and (3) apoptosis or NOG is not induced by pH-differences between inside and outside of cells, because they are not induced by NH_4Cl, (4) We have succeeded in the synsesis of concanamycin A-photoaffinity probes active in V-ATPase-inhibition. (5) Prodigiosins are H^+/Cl^- symporters that uncoupled ATPases like F-, V-, P-ATPase and electron transport activity, in which prodigiosins inhibited proton-transport but no ATP hydrolysis (or electron transport) activiteis. Prodigiosins also strongly and reversibly uncoupled (H^+/K^+) ATPase-dependent proton-translocation from hog gastric mucosa. (6) We have succeeded in the cloning, proton-pump dependent ATP synthesis, and determation of operon structure of V-ATPase from a eubacterium (Thermus termophilus).
