dc.description.abstract | Carbon-13 spin-lattice relaxation times, T1, have been measured in whole adrenal medullary tissue slices, in suspensions of isolated chromaffin granules, in the reconcentrated chromaffin granule lysate, and in various model solutions containing catecholamines, ATP, chromogranins and Ca2+. Reorientational correlation times have been calculated at 10[deg]C using T1 data and nuclear Overhauser enhancemments for protonated carbons on both catecholamines and nucleotides. Correlation times in all media are relatively short and characteristic of highly fluid aqueous phases. Adrenalin and ATP exhibit substantial differences in correlation times in all media, however, the ratio [gamma]R(ATP):[gamma]R(catecholamine) ranging from 2.4 in simple 3:1 adrenalin-ATP solutions to 4 in intact chromaffin granules. This difference, as well as the relatively high absolute reorientational mobilities of both components, confirms the importance of labile ionic interactions between ATP and catecholamines, but rules out the presence of high concentrations of base-stacked structures. Participation of the chromogranins in ternary complexes with catecholamines and ATP appears to be of minor importance. Ionic interactions to the protein are not reflected in either 13C T1 values or chemical shifts of arginine or glutamate sidechain resonances, or in the 13C chemical shifts of ATP or catecholamines. Very labile protein-ATP binding appears to be reflected in the correlation time measurements, however, which show selective immobilization of ATP relative to catecholamine in the presence of soluble protein. Osmotic measurements indicate that solutions containing adrenaline, ATP and Ca2+ are highly nonideal, but probably not sufficiently so to account fully for the osmotic stabilization of the chromaffin granule aqueous phase. Even in the absence of specific intermolecular complexation, the chromogranins, through their polyelectrolyte properties, exert a significant influence on the intragranular osmolality. The osmotic lowering due to polyion-counterion interactions has been estimated semiquantitatively using a theory developed by Oosawa. | en_US |
