Abstract: | Changes in the Mg-ATPase and Na, K-ATPase activity of the rat erythrocyte and Candida guilliermondii membranes under the effect of roseofungin were studied. The antibiotic was totally bound to the isolated plasmatic membranes of Candida guilliermondii, up to 3 micrograms of the antibiotic per 1 microgram of the yeast protein. The Mg-APTase activity of these membranes was slightly inhibited by the antibiotic. The activity of Na, K-ATPase was almost completely inhibited even at 0.04 mg of roseofungin per 1 mg of protein. Much higher concentrations of the antibiotic inhibited the Mg-ATPase and Na, K-ATPase activity of the erythrocyte membranes to a less extent. |
