ATP markedly stimulated sulphate uptake by rat liver lysosomes that had been treated with N-ethylmaleimide to block the effects of the lysosomal proton-translocating ATPase (H+-ATPase). Maximal stimulation required millimolar concentrations of ATP and neutral buffer pH. ATP-stimulated transport exhibited saturation kinetics with a Km of 175 microM, identical with the Km for lysosomal sulphate uptake at pH 5.0, a process that does not require ATP. The requirement for ATP was specific: other nucleotides such as AMP, ADP, CTP, GTP, ITP and UTP failed to stimulate transport. Adenosine 5'-[beta,gamma-imido]triphosphate, the non-hydrolysable analogue of ATP, also failed to stimulate sulphate uptake, suggesting a requirement for ATP hydrolysis. Lysosomal pH, membrane potential and glucose transport were unchanged by the presence of ATP under the experimental conditions, consistent with a direct effect of ATP on the sulphate transporter. Exposure of lysosomes to protein kinase A and protein kinase C inhibitors did not alter the stimulation of sulphate transport by ATP. The lysosomal sulphate transport protein might be subject to regulation by a phosphorylation pathway that is not dependent on protein kinase A or protein kinase C.
