Growth of Clostridium perfringens was inhibited by compounds which dissipate or prevent the formation of electrochemical proton gradients. Membrane vesicles prepared from this organism exhibited Mg2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity sensitive to N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Mg2+-ATPase activity was optimal of 50 degrees C, but no discrete pH optimum was observed. Adenosine triphosphate-dependent quenching of the fluorescence of the weak base quinacrine by everted membrane vesicles suggested that the Mg2+-ATPase is a proton pump capable of generating an electrochemical proton gradient. Adenosine triphosphate-dependent transport of Ca2+ by everted vesicles was sensitive to uncouplers and inhibitors of the Mg2+-ATPase.

The plasma membrane of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has a Mg2+-dependent ATPase which is distinct from the mitochondrial Mg2+-ATPase and at the pH optimum of 5.5 has a Km for ATP of 1.7 mM and a Vmax of 0.42 mumol of ATP hydrolyzed/mg/min. At least three protein components of the crude membrane (Mr = 210,000, 160,000 and 115,000) are labeled with [gamma"32P]ATP at pH 5.5. These phosphoproteins form rapidly in the presence of Mg2+, rapidly turn over the bound phosphate when unlabeled ATP is added, and dephosphorylate after incubation in the presence of hydroxylamine. Vanadate, an inhibitor of the Mg2+-ATPase activity, blocks the phosphorylation of the 210,000- and 115,000-dalton proteins. At pH 7.0, only the 210,000- and 160,000-dalton proteins are phosphorylated. While these three phosphorylated intermediates have not been unambiguously identified as components of the Mg2+-ATPase, the finding of such phosphorylated components in association with that activity implies that this enzyme differs in mechanism from the mitochondrial proton pump and that it is similar in mechanism to the metal ion pumps ((Na+-K+)-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase) of the mammalian plasma membrane.

ATPase activity in highly purified rat liver lysosome preparations was evaluated in the presence of other membrane cellular ATPase inhibitors, and compared with lysosome ATP-driven proton translocating activity. Replacement of 5 mM Mg2+ with equimolar Ca2+ brought about a 50% inhibition in divalent cation-dependent ATPase activity, and an 80% inactivation of ATP-linked lysosomal H+ pump activity. In the presence of optimal concentrations of Ca2+ and Mg2+, ATPase activity was similar to that seen in an Mg2+ medium. Mg2+-dependent ATPase activity was greatly inhibited (from 70 to 80%) by the platinum complexes; cis-didimethylsulfoxide dichloroplatinum(II) (CDDP) at approximately 90 microM and cis-diaminedichloroplatinum(II) at twofold higher concentrations. Less inhibition, about 30 and 45%, was obtained with N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and N-ethylmaleimide, and the maximal effect occurred in the 50-100 microM and 0.1-1.5 mM ranges, respectively. The concentration dependence of inhibition by the above drugs was determined for both proton pumping and ATPase activities, and half-maximal inhibition concentration of each activity was found at nearly similar values. A micromolar concentration of carbonylcyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP) prevented ATP from setting up a pH gradient across the lysosomal membranes, but stimulated Mg2+-ATPase activity significantly. ATPase activity in Ca2+ medium was also inhibited by CDDP and stimulated by FCCP, but both effects were two- to threefold less than those observed in Mg2+ medium. FCCP failed to stimulate ATPase activity in a CDDP-supplemented medium, thus suggesting that the same ATPase activity fraction was sensitive to both CDDP and FCCP. Mg2+-ATPase activity, like the proton pump, was anion dependent. The lowest activity was recorded in a F-medium, and increased in the order of F- less than SO2-4 less than Cl- approximately equal to Br-. The CDDP-sensitive ATPase activity observed, supported by Mg2+ and less so by Ca2+, may be related to lysosome proton pump activity.

The Mg2+-ATPase activities of bovine adrenal chromaffin granules were studied in highly purified preparations of granule ghosts and in intact organelles. The overall ATPase activity (150-250 nmol ADP min-1 mg-1) of the granule ghost preparations was inhibited less than 5% by the bathophenanthroline chelate of Fe(II), a potent inhibitor of mitochondrial F1-ATPase. This small inhibition can be accounted for by a very minor contamination with mitochondria or mitochondrial fragments. The overall ATPase activity of native granule ghosts was inhibited about 75% by N-ethylmaleimide, with half-maximal inhibition at about 20 microM. The titration curve was slightly shifted towards higher concentrations as compared to the inhibition curve for the proton pump activity, which was completely inhibited at 25 microM. N,N'-Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide inhibited the overall ATPase activity by 75-80% at 1.1 mumol/mg protein, a concentration that completely abolished the proton pump activity. Low concentrations (10 microM) of vanadate inhibited the overall ATPase activity by about 15% but had no effect on the proton pump activity, which was partly inhibited only at higher vanadate concentrations. Our attempts to assign a function to the vanadate-sensitive and N-ethylmaleimide-insensitive ATPase have so far been unsuccessful. In particular, our assay for ATP diphosphohydrolase activity was negative, although the chromaffin granule ghosts revealed a low Mg2+-ADPase activity (11.8 nmol AMP min-1 mg-1 protein). In intact chromaffin granules the specific Mg2+-ATPase activity (50-70 nmol ADP min-1 mg-1) was stimulated 2-fold by uncouplers, as compared to 1.6-1.7-fold in granule ghosts. The degree of energy coupling was rather independent of the external pH (6.5 less than pH less than 8.0) and temperature (20-45 degrees C). As expected, partial inhibition (about 15%) of the overall ATPase activity by 10 microM vanadate increased the ATPase control ratio. ADP was found to be a potent inhibitor of the proton pump activity with MgATP as the substrate, and the effect can partly be explained by a competitive type of inhibition of the hydrolytic reaction. This effect of ADP explains some of the kinetic data reported for MgATP-dependent (H+-ATPase-dependent) reactions in this organelle, notably the energy-dependent accumulation and storage of catecholamines.

Diethylstilbestrol (DES) was found to inhibit reversibly the hydrolysis of MgATP (80% at 100 microM) and proton pump activity (I50 approximately equal to 15 microM, complete at 100 microM) in chromaffin granule ghosts. The parallel inhibition suggests a tight kinetic coupling between the two activities. The Mg2+-ATPase activity, but not proton pumping, was partially restored by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, indicating that the two inhibitors in combination cause a partial uncoupling. The non-competitive type of inhibition shows that the action of DES is distal to the site of ATP binding and hydrolysis. Although unspecific, the interaction of DES with the chromaffin granule membrane seems primarily to affect the H+-ATPase.

Endosome fractions were isolated from rat liver homogenates on the basis of the subcellular distribution of circulating ligands, e.g. 125I-asialotransferrin internalized by hepatocytes by a receptor-mediated process. The distribution of endocytosed 125I-asialotransferrin 1-2 min and 15 min after uptake by liver and a monensin-activated Mg2+-dependent ATPase activity coincided on linear gradients of sucrose and Nycodenz. The monensin-activated Mg2+-ATPase was enriched relative to the liver homogenates up to 60-fold in specific activity in the endosome fractions. Contamination of the endosome fractions by lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, plasma membranes and Golgi-apparatus components was low. By use of 9-aminoacridine, a probe for pH gradients, the endosome vesicles were shown to acidify on addition of ATP. Acidification was reversed by addition of monensin. The results indicate that endosome fractions contain an ATP-driven proton pump. The ionophore-activated Mg2+-ATPase in combination with the presence of undegraded ligands in the endosome fractions emerge as linked markers for this new subcellular organelle.

An efficient method is described permitting the encapsulation of membrane-impermeable compounds at the interior of intestinal microvilli during vesicle formation. Rat intestinal epithelial cells were isolated by high-frequency vibration and exposed transiently to iso-osmotic medium containing 5 mM-EDTA. Vesiculation of microvilli was effected by freeze-thawing instead of mechanical fragmentation or hypo-osmotic lysis. Solutes to be entrapped were mixed with the extracellular medium before freezing in liquid N2. Microvillous vesicles were isolated from thawed cell suspensions by Ca2+- or Mg2+-aggregation of contaminants and differential centrifugation. The yield, purity, orientation and transport properties of the vesicles were similar, or superior, to preparations described in the literature. A high loading efficiency was demonstrated for small impermeants (cyclic GMP, ATP, Arsenazo III) as well as proteins (albumin); in contrast, loading of isolated vesicles by hypo-osmotic shock was only partially effective (cyclic GMP, ATP) or ineffective (albumin). Entrapment of an ATP-regenerating system could partially block a Mg2+-dependent conversion of intravesicular ATP into ADP. No evidence was obtained for the contribution of a proton pump to the intrinsic Mg2+-ATPase of the vesicle. Potential applications of the vesicle-loading technique in studies of brush-border transport regulation by intramicrovillar factors are discussed.

Throughout its erythrocytic cycle the plasmodial parasite modifies the plasma membrane of its host cell. Some changes derive from parasite metabolism. Intraerythrocytic forms use glucose at more than 10-fold normal red cell rates. The H+ accompanying the lactate end-product is exported into the host cell cytoplasm by an electrogenic proton pump in the parasite membrane. This maintains a pH greater than 7.0 in the parasite cytoplasm, but lowers erythrocyte cytoplasmic pH from approximately 7.2 to 6.5. Ca2+ transport across parasite membranes is coupled to the proton pump, possibly a Ca2+/H+ antiporter. The Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase and Na+,K+-ATPase activities of erythrocyte membranes from schizont-infected erythrocytes have been studied. Under optimal assay conditions (pH = 7.0; [ATP] = 1 mM; +/- calmodulin) membranes from infected cells showed a 30% reduction in Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase activity but no difference from normal in Na+,K+-ATPase activity. The calmodulin levels of infected cells were depressed by about 30%. The [ATP] in the cytoplasm of infected erythrocytes was only 0.2 mM (as against 1.3 mM in normals) and at this ATP concentration the activities of both ATPases are only 30% of normal. Shifting the pH from 7.0 to 6.5 decreases Na+,K+-ATPase activity by an additional 50% but is without effect on the Ca2+,Mg2+-ATPase. The results provide a partial explanation for the increased Ca2+ permeability and altered Na+/K+ content of plasmodia-infected erythrocytes.

The ATP-dependent proton pump which was previously identified in clathrin-coated vesicles isolated from calf brain (Forgac, M., Cantley, L., Wiedenmann, B., Altstiel, L., and Branton, D. (1983) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 80, 1300-1303) is further characterized. 7-Chloro-4-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD-Cl) was identified as a potent inhibitor of both ATP-dependent proton uptake and Mg2+-ATPase activity of coated vesicles. Thus, incubation with 10 microM NBD-Cl for 10 min at 23 degrees caused the loss of 80% of the Mg2+-ATPase activity and 95% of the proton pumping activity. The observed protection from NBD-Cl inhibition by ATP suggests that NBD-Cl may react at the catalytic site, and reversal of NBD-Cl inhibition by 2-mercaptoethanol is consistent with reaction at either a tyrosine or cysteine residue. In addition, no stable phosphorylated intermediate was observed during turnover of the coated vesicle proton pump and neither Na+ nor K+ was countertransported by the pump during ATP-dependent proton uptake.

Cholinergic synaptic vesicles from the electric organ of Torpedo marmorata are associated with a Mg2+-ATPase insensitive to ouabain and oligomycin. Treatment of vesicle membranes with dichloromethane releases a Mg2+-ATPase with apparent molecular mass of around 250 kDa as determined by gel filtration. The vesicular ATPase resembles the mitochondrial F1-ATPase in these properties. Gel electrophoresis of the solubilized ATPase shows however that only a single 50-kDa band is present as compared to the alpha-subunit (52 kDa) and beta-subunit (50 kDa) of electric organ mitochondrial F1-ATPase present in this range of molecular mass range. In agreement, covalent photoaffinity labelling of isolated vesicles with azido-ATP shows a 50-kDa band. Vesicle ghosts were found to accumulate [14C]methylamine in an ATP-dependent manner indicating the presence of an inwardly directed proton pump. We conclude that cholinergic vesicles contain a proton pump probably driven by the Mg2+-ATPase here described, which generates an electrochemical gradient across the vesicle membrane and is necessary for uptake and storage of acetylcholine within the vesicles.
