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.

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.

H+-translocating, Mg2+-ATPase was solubilized from vacuolar membranes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with the zwitterionic detergent N-tetradecyl-N,N-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propanesulfonate and purified by glycerol density gradient centrifugation. Partially purified vacuolar membrane H+-ATPase, which had a specific activity of 18 units/mg of protein, was separated almost completely from acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase. The purified enzyme required phospholipids for maximal activity and hydrolyzed ATP, GTP, UTP, and CTP, with this order of preference. Its Km value for Mg2+-ATP was determined to be 0.21 mM and its optimal pH was 6.9. ADP inhibited the enzyme activity competitively, with a Ki value of 0.31 mM. The activity of purified ATPase was strongly inhibited by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, tributyltin, 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzoxazole, diethylstilbestrol, and quercetin, but was not affected by oligomycin, sodium azide, sodium vanadate, or miconazole. It was not inhibited at all by antiserum against mitochondrial F1-ATPase or mitochondrial F1-ATPase inhibitor protein. These results indicated that vacuolar membrane H+-ATPase is different from either yeast plasma membrane H+-ATPase or mitochondrial F1-ATPase. The vacuolar membrane H+-ATPase was found to be composed of two major polypeptides a and b of Mr = 89,000 and 64,000, respectively, and a N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide binding polypeptide c of Mr = 19,500, whose polypeptide composition was also different from those of either plasma membrane H+-ATPase or mitochondrial F1-ATPase of S. cerevisiae.

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.

Evidence is presented for the presence of both diethylstilbestrol (DES)-sensitive and DES-insensitive Mg2+-ATPase activities in plasma membrane enriched fractions of Dictyostelium discoideum. When removed from the membrane, the DES-sensitive activity is markedly less stable than the DES-insensitive activity, and the two activities display a number of quite distinct properties. The DES-sensitive enzyme has a decided preference for Mg2+ over Ca2+, displays saturation kinetics in response to ATP as substrate (Km = 0.2 mM) and has a narrow pH optimum range. In contrast, the DES-insensitive activity is stimulated equally by Mg2+ or Ca2+, is not saturable by ATP within the mM concentration range and has a much broader pH optimum. The DES-insensitive activity has been purified extensively. The purified enzyme is inhibited by vanadate and fluoride, but is insensitive to N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD), N-ethylmaleimide and thimerosal. In the absence of divalent cations, the enzyme displays a sigmoidal activity curve in response to substrate concentration, which is abolished by addition of either Mg2+ or Ca2+, suggesting a binding site for a divalent cation and a positive cooperative interaction. The enzyme is capable of hydrolyzing other nucleotide triphosphates and ADP, but is without activity on AMP, p-nitrophenyl phosphate and pyrophosphate. The enzyme has an apparent molecular weight of approximately 64,000.

Basal-lateral and brush border membranes from pig kidney cortex were prepared by differential centrifugation followed by free-flow electrophoresis. In each type of membrane, azide-insensitive, low-affinity Ca2+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase activities are demonstrated. A comparative study for both membranes further reveals the following analogies between these ATPases: (a) they show maximal activity between pH 8 and 8.5; (b) they exhibit Km values for Ca-ATP or Mg-ATP in the millimolar range and have a comparable low substrate specificity; (c) they are insensitive to 10 microM of vanadate, N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, e diethylstilbestrol, quercetin, harmaline and amiloride. The partial inhibition by 1 mM of the various compounds is rather aspecific. In view of these similarities it is concluded that only one enzyme entity is responsible for the activity which is measured in both membrane types. The HCO3-stimulated Mg2+-ATPase activity in pig kidney cortex was also studied. This enzyme, however, is clearly of mitochondrial origin since the HCO3-stimulation coincides with the distribution profile of succinate dehydrogenase, a mitochondrial marker; and since it is inhibited by azide.

The properties of Mg2+-ATPase in the vacuole of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were studied, using purified intact vacuoles and right-side-out vacuolar membrane vesicles prepared by the method of Y. Ohsumi and Y. Anraku ((1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 2079). The enzyme requires Mg2+ ion but not Ca2+ in. Cu2+ and Zn2+ ions inhibit the activity. The optimal pH is at pH 7.0. The enzyme hydrolyzes ATP, GTP, UTP, and CTP in this order and the Km value for ATP was determined as 0.2 mM. It does not hydrolyze ADP, adenosyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate, or p-nitrophenyl phosphate. ADP does not inhibit hydrolysis of ATP by the enzyme. The activities of intact vacuoles and of vacuolar membrane vesicles were stimulated 3- and 1.5-fold, respectively, by the protonophore uncoupler 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzilidenemalononitrile and the K+/H+ antiporter ionophore nigericin. Sodium azide at a concentration exerting an uncoupler effect also stimulated the activity. The activity was sensitive to the ATPase inhibitor N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, but not to sodium vanadate. The ATP-dependent formation of an electrochemical potential difference of protons, measured by the flow-dialysis method, was determined as 180 mV, with contribution of 1.7 pH units, interior acid, and of a membrane potential of 75 mV. It is concluded that the Mg2+-ATPase of vacuoles is a new marker enzyme for these organelles and is a N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-sensitive, H+-translocating ATPase whose catalytic site is exposed to the cytoplasm.

Pepsinogen granules were isolated from rabbit stomachs by a combination of differential and isopycnic gradient centrifugation. The isolation procedure utilized 1 M sucrose and alkaline pH to stabilize the granules. The isolated granules were shown to be 8.4-fold enriched in pepsinogen and free of mitochondria and microsome enzyme markers. In addition to pepsinogen, a cation-insensitive but anion-sensitive Mg2+-ATPase co-purified with the zymogen. The enzyme was unaffected by aurovertin, oligomycin, and ouabain, but inhibited by high concentrations of vanadate, N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, and azide. The enzyme activity was stimulated by tetrachlorosalicylanilide and the combination of valinomycin and nigericin in K+-containing media. The similarities between this enzyme and other secretory granule ATPases are discussed.

Sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles from mammalian skeletal muscle have previously been shown to develop a proton gradient (alkaline inside) of 0.15-0.5 pH units during active Ca2+ uptake. We found that dissipation of this gradient by the proton ionophores gramicidin, nigericin, and carbonyl cyanide p-trichloromethoxyphenylhydrazone caused a rapid transient tension in skinned rabbit psoas muscle fibers. Increases, but not decreases, in medium pH of approximately 0.2 units over the range from pH 6.5 to pH 7.5 also elicited transient tensions. In isolated vesicles, physiological levels of Ca2+ (3.3 microM), inhibited pH-induced Ca2+ release. Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide blocked pH- and ionophore-induced Ca2+ release under conditions in which it could bind to sarcoplasmic reticulum proteins but did not inhibit Ca2+ uptake. We propose that a proton gradient generated across sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes during Ca2+ uptake maintains a Ca2+ release channel in a closed conformation and that dissipation of this gradient permits the Ca2+ release channel to open. We further propose that elevated myoplasmic Ca2+ also causes the Ca2+ channel to close, permitting Ca2+ uptake through Ca2+/Mg2+-ATPase to function effectively. As the proteolipids of sarcoplasmic reticulum bind dicyclohexylcarbodiimide under conditions in which Ca2+ release is blocked and as they have previously been shown to have Ca2+ ionophoric activity, we propose that the Ca2+-release channel either resides in the proteolipids or is controlled by H+ fluxes through the proteolipids.
