Microsomal membrane vesicles and purified plasma membranevesicles obtained from coleoptiles of maize (Zea mays L.) weresubjected to pH shifts from pH 7.8 to 4.7. In the presence of ATPaseinhibitors such as vanadate, net accumulation of radiolabelled butyricand indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) remained higher than in controls. When 2min after the pH shift, at 4°C, the microsomal vesicles weredenatured the amount of ATP could be determined using theluciferin/luciferase assay. Significantly increased ATP production overcontrol values – no pH-shift or ionophore treatment – wasfound. Therefore, such vesicles might produce ATP for in vitrotransport processes such as auxin efflux. 相似文献

Membrane vesicles isolated from oxalategrown cells of Pseudomonas oxalaticus accumulated oxalate by an inducible transport system in unmodified form against a concentration gradient. This accumulation was dependent on the presence of a suitable electron donor system such as ascorbate-phenazinemethosulphate. In the presence of this energy source, steady state levels of accumulation of oxalate were 10–20-fold higher than in its absence. The oxalate transport system involved showed a high affinity for oxalate (K
m
=11 M) and was highly specific. Oxalate transport was not affected by the presence of other dicarboxylic acids, such as malate, succinate and fumarate and only partly inhibited by acetate. The energy requirement for oxalate transport is discussed and it is concluded that this requirement is most likely equivalent to 1 mole of ATP per mole of oxalate.Abbreviation PMS

The yield coefficients forDesulfovibrio vulgaris andD. gigas varied with the electron donoracceptor combinations and with the bacterial strain. The only evidence for electron transport coupled formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) was with sulfate as the electron acceptor. WithD. vulgaris the ATP formation coupling to electron flow with pyruvate oxidation was 1:4 electrons and with lactate oxidation was 1:8 electrons. WithD. gigas these ratios were 1:8 electrons and 1:16 electrons for the oxidation of pyruvate and lactate. The clearest resolution of energy coupling was withD. vulgaris growing on formatesulfate medium where 2 ATP appear to be formed with the transfer of electrons from formate to adenosine phosphosulfate and one ATP with the transfer of electrons from formate to sulfite. 相似文献

The effects of the local anesthetic dibucaine on coupling between electron transport and ATP synthesis-hydrolysis by the coupling-factor complex (CF0CF1 ATPase) were investigated in thylakoid membranes from Spinacia oleracea L. cv. Monatol. Evidence is presented that inhibition of ATP synthesis was produced by a specific uncoupling mechanism which was based on dibucaine-membrane surface interactions rather than on the interaction of dibucaine with the ATPase complex. Dibucaine reduced the osmotic space of thylakoid vesicles. At low pH of the medium it stimulated ATP hydrolysis beyond the rates obtained with optimum concentrations of ‘classical’ uncouplers. After addition of dibucaine, there was displacement of membrane-bound Mg2+ and strong thylakoid stacking in the presence of only low Mg2+ concentrations. Inhibition of ATP synthesis and transmembrane pH gradient increased with medium pH. Hydrolysis of ATP by isolated CF1 and the CF0CF1 complex was only slightly affected by dibucaine. The data are discussed assuming the involvement of localized proton channels on the membrane surface in protonic coupling of electron transport and ATP synthesis. A hypothesis for the mechanisms of action of local anesthetics at the thylakoid membrane is presented. 相似文献

Norepinephrine (NE):adenosinetriphosphate (ATP) ratios were studied in a highly purified fraction of large dense core vesicles isolated from the bovine splenic nerve. Vesicles prepared from nerves chilled ~10 and 30 min post mortem were compared. The NE:ATP molar ratio decreased from 6.3 to 4.8, p < 0.005; NE decreased from 61 to 42 nmol, while ATP decreased only from 9.6 to 8.8 nmol/mg protein. Animals weighing 180-360 kg were compared with heavier ones weighing 400-700 kg. NE increased from 42 to 68 nmol and ATP increased from 5.9 to 13.2 nmol/mg protein, while the NE:ATP molar ratio decreased from 7.2 to 5.2, p < 0.005. Changes during vesicle maturation were studied by comparing vesicles identically prepared from equal weights of a proximal nerve segment close to the coeliac ganglion and a distal, intrasplenic segment. NE increased from 45 to 70 nmol while ATP remained unchanged at 10.0 nmol/mg protein and the NE:ATP molar ratio increased from 4.5 to 7.0, p < 0.005. It was interpreted that vesicle ATP content, like dopamine β-hydroxylase, was established early in the cell body and remained unchanged during axoplasmic transport. ATP was in a complex which was relatively stable to post mortem hydrolysis at least between 10 and 30 min prior to chilling the nerves. The addition of newly synthesized NE into a readily releasable pool during axoplasmic transport occurs without ATP and can account for the increased ratio above 4:1 in the distal segment vesicles. 相似文献

1. ADP/ATP transport has been reconstituted by incorporation of the purified carrier protein in liposomes filled with ATP. The transport was assayed by uptake of [14C]ADP into the liposomes, and by release of ATP as determined by a luminescence technique. [14C]ADP uptake was strictly dependent on internal ATP. 2. The simplest phospholipid system capable of yielding high rates of ADP/ATP transport was a mixture of phosphatidylethanolamine and cariolipin (92: 8, w/w). 3. ADP/ATP transport in the reconstituted system proceeded by exchange-diffusion with a 1/1 stoichiometry. The specificity for aDP and ATP was absolute. The capacity and the rate of exchange depended on the concentration of ATP present in liposomes. The rate of transport at 20 degrees C, at 20 mM internal ATP, routinely ranged between 300 and 1000 nmol of nucleotide exchanged per min/mg of added carrier protein. The apparent Km value for external ADP was around 10 microM. 4. The ADP/ATP exchange in the reconstituted system was rather stable to ageing. It dropped by only 20% after 1 day of ageing at 20 degrees C. Divalent cations (Mg2+, Mn2+, Ca2+) at concentrations higher than 1 to 2 mM had a deleterious effect on ADP/ATP transport, concomitant with the release of internal ATP and accumulation of multilamellar vesicles. 5. Atractyloside behaved as a competitive inhibitor and carboxyatractyloside as a non-competitive inhibitor. Bongkrekic acid required a slightly acidic pH to be inhibitory. The data concerning atractyloside, carboxyatractyloside and bongkrekic acid were similar to those obtained with whole mitochondria, suggesting that the carrier protein in liposomes has the same asymmetrical arrangement as in the mitochondria. 6. The percentage of competent carrier protein in liposomes was calculated from dose-response data concerning the inhibition of ADP/ATP transport by atractyloside or carboxyatractyloside, and from the amount of bound [3H]-atractyloside removable by ADP. By both methods, 3 to 6% of the added carrier protein was found to be competent in ADP/ATP transport, based on the assumption that the binding of one atractyloside or carboxyatractyloside molecule per 30000 molecular weight carrier unit results in complete inhibition of transport. 7. Freeze-fracture electron microscopy showed that the ADP/ATP carrier protein-lipid preparations are formed by small vesicles, most of which give rise to smooth fracture faces (probably pure lipid vesicles). Only a small percentage of the vesicles (2 to 4% depending on the amount of carrier protein added) were clearly particulated. About 90% of the particulated vesicles showed no more than 2 particles per vesicle and only 5% more than 5 particles per vesicle. The distribution of the particles between convex and concave fracture faces was asymmetric; about 2/3 of the protein molecules were anchored at the external surface of the vesicles and only 1/3 at the internal one... 相似文献

Vibrio succinogenes which gains all the ATP by anaerobic electron transport phosphorylation, was grown in continuous culture on a defined medium with formate and fumarate as sole energy sources. The growth yield at infinite dilution rate (Y
max) was obtained by extrapolation from the growth yields measured at various dilution rates. With formate as the growth limiting substrate, Y
max was found as 14 g dry cells/mol formate. Under these conditions growth was limited by the rate of energy supply, because formate is used only as a catabolic substrate (Bronder et al. 1982). The Y
ATP
max
calculated from the ATP requirement for cell synthesis was 18 g dry cells/mol ATP. This gives an ATP/2e ratio of 0.8. The ATP/2e ratio in vitro had been measured as 1 (Kröger and Winkler 1981). It is concluded that growing V. succinogenes gain at least 80% the stoichiometrically possible amount of ATP, when growth is limited by energy supply. 相似文献

Sucrose uptake into tonoplast vesicles, which were prepared from red beet (Beta vulgaris L.) vacuoles isolated by two different methods, was stimulated by MgATP. Using the same medium as for osmotic disruption of vacuoles, membrane vesicles were prepared from tissue homogenates of dormant red beet roots and separated by high-speed centrifugation through a discontinuous dextran gradient. A low-density microsomal fraction highly enriched in tonoplast vesicles could be further purified from contaminating ER vesicles by inclusion of 5 mM MgCl2 in the homogenization medium. These vesicles were able to transport sucrose in an ATP-dependent manner against a concentration gradient, whereas vesicles from regions of other densities lacked this feature, indicating that ATP stimulation of sucrose uptake took place only at the tonoplast membrane. Sucrose uptake was optimal at pH 7 in the presence of MgATP and could be stimulated by superimposed pH gradients (vesicle interior acidic) in the absence of MgATP, which is consistent with the operation of a sucrose/H+-antiporter at the tonoplast. Tonoplast vesicles, obtained in high yield from tissue homogenates of red beet roots, exhibited sugar-uptake characteristics comparable to those of intact vacuoles; these characteristics included similarities in K
m (1.7 mM), sensitivity to inhibitors and specificity for sucrose.Many experiments were carried out at the Experiment Station of the HSPA, Aiea, Hawaii and financed by an NSF grant to Dr. Maretzki and Mrs. M. Thom. 相似文献

A protocol for the isolation of functional thylakoids from Arabidopsis thaliana leaves was developed. The critical factor in obtaining active, coupled and stable preparation is the inclusion of EDTA and
EGTA in the grinding buffer. Preparations were characterized with respect to the whole or partial electron transport chain,
ATP/NADPH, ATP/O2 and PS II/chlorophyll ratios. Sensitivity to a light-chill photoinhibitory treatment was also determined by evaluating the
decrease in both maximal photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm) and in electron transport rate.

Summary Higher plant plasma membranes contain ab-type cytochrome that is rapidly reduced by ascorbic acid. The affinity towards ascorbate is 0.37 mM and is very similar to that of the chromaffin granule cytochromeb
561. High levels of cytochromeb reduction are reached when ascorbic acid is added either on the cytoplasmic or cell wall side of purified plasma membrane vesicles. This result points to a transmembrane organisation of the heme protein or alternatively indicates the presence of an effective ascorbate transport system. Plasma membrane vesicles loaded by ascorbic acid are capable of reducing extravesicular ferricyanide. Addition of ascorbate oxidase or washing of the vesicles does not eliminate this reaction, indicating the involvement of the intravesicular electron donor. Absorbance changes of the cytochromeb -band suggest the electron transfer is mediated by this redox component. Electron transport to ferricyanide also results in the generation of a membrane potential gradient as was demonstrated by using the charge-sensitive optical probe oxonol VI. Addition of ascorbate oxidase and ascorbate to the vesicles loaded with ascorbate results in the oxidation and subsequent re-reduction of the cytochromeb. It is therefore suggested that ascorbate free radical (AFR) could potentially act as an electron acceptor to the cytochrome-mediated electron transport reaction. A working model on the action of the cytochrome as an electron carrier between cytoplasmic and apoplastic ascorbate is discussed.Abbreviations AFR

Many effects of ascorbate center on its interactions with membranes from plant and animal cells. These actions can be studied using vesicles produced from phospholipid components (liposomes), by isolating naturally occurring vesicles, or by purifying particular membranes that form vesicles during the extraction process. Liposomes have provided information concerning the anti- and prooxidant properties of ascorbate and about how the water-soluble vitamin can have effects within the phospholipid bilayer. The involvement of ascorbate in transmembrane electron transport has been characterized in vesicles normally found in certain cells, such as, chromaffin granules, synaptosomes, glyoxisomes, peroxisomes, and clathrincoated vesicles. Redox activity using reducing power associated with ascorbate/ascorbate free radical (AFR) has been characterized in some of these vesicles and it appears to be mediated by ab-type cytochrome. Ascorbate also participates in the reduction of iron within clathrin-coated vesicles. Vesicles appearing during purification of plasma membranes have transmembrane electron transport, oxidoreductase activity with ascorbate/AFR as redox agents, and an ascorbate-reducibleb-type cytochrome. It is also possible that ascorbate-related redox activity exists at the tonoplast of plant cells. 相似文献

Highly purified “heavy” synaptic vesicles were isolated from rat heart by differential centrifugation. Because of the high intravesicular concentrations of proteins, catecholamine, and ATP, resealed vesicle ghosts were prepared and used to study the detailed kinetics of catecholamine transport. ATP stimulated the uptake of /-norepinephrine and was saturable with a Km for l-norepinephrine at 3.3 μM and 1.8 mM for ATP. The ghosts also accumulated 5-hydroxytryptamine and l-epinephrine via an ATP-dependent mechanism. Uptake was stereospecific for the l-form. A functional catecholamine transporter could be solubilized by the detergent octyl-glucoside and incorporated into phospholipid vesicles, which, after detergent removal, generated proteoliposomes that accumulated l-norepinephrine. Reserpine- and l-propranolol-sensitive accumulation against a concentration gradient is achieved by artificially creating a pH gradient across the membrane, and lends further support to the idea that at least the initial phase of catecholamine transport is driven by the trans-membrane pH gradient created by the proton-translocating ATPase. 相似文献

Stable membrane proteins and lipids are convenient to study biomembranes. Two stable proton translocating proteins were purified and reconstituted into vesicles capable of proton translocation. One was a thermostable ATPase (TF0-F1) of thermophilic bacterium PS3 and the other was rhodopsin of Halobacterium halobium. TF0-F1 was composed of a proton pump moiety (TF1) and a proton channel moiety (TF0). TF1 was the first membrane ATPase which was crystallized and reconstituted from its five polypeptides. Like TF0 and TF1, the rhodopsin in purple membrane was highly stable against dissociating agents, acids and alkali. Phospholipids of these biomembranes were also stable and contained no unsaturated fatty acyl groups. The molecular species of the phospholipids of PS3 were determined by mass chromatography. Measurements were made of the difference in electrochemical potential of protons (deltamicronH+) across the membrane of the reconstituted vesicles. The deltamicronH+ attained was 312 mV in TF0-F1 vesciles and was 230 mV in the rhodopsin vesicles. To conclude that electron transport components are not necessary for ATP synthesis in energy yielding biomembranes, two experiments were performed: The ATP synthesis was observed i) on acid-base treatment of TF0-F1 vesicles, and ii) on illumination of the rhodopsin-TF0-F1 vesicles. 相似文献

A detailed functional characterization of reconstituted sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicles with similar lipid content as normal SR was obtained by studies of ATPase activity and calcium transport in transient state, steady state, and equilibrium conditions. For this purpose, enzyme phosphorylation with ATP, hydrolytic activity, calcium transport, phosphorylation with Pi, and ATP synthesis by reversal of the pump were measured, and utilized to demonstrate function and orientation of catalytic sites. The preparations used in these studies displayed the highest activity reported for reconstituted sarcoplasmic reticulum systems. The rates of phosphoenzyme formation from ATP and hydrolysis as well as steady state levels matched the values obtained with normal SR vesicles. Calcium transport and repeated cycles of ATP synthesis by reversal of the pump were also obtained. However, the efficiency of transport and ATP synthesis from a Ca2+ gradient was approximately three times lower than in native vesicles. This deficiency could not be attributed to passive calcium leak from the reconstituted vesicles but, in part, can be explained by the bidirectional alignment of the calcium pump in reconstituted SR. It is suggested that vectorial transport requires a more complex level of protein structure than that for sustaining simple ATPase activity. Time resolution of the phosphorylation reaction by rapid quench methods can be used to estimate the orientation of the calcium pump in the membrane. Such studies indicate that the calcium pump protein is largely bidirectionally oriented in reconstituted SR vesicles. 相似文献

Electron transport-coupled phosphorylation with fumarate as terminal acceptor inWolinella succinogenes yields less than 1 ATP/2 electrons. The
generated by the electron transport is 0.18V and the H+/electron ratio is 1. The electron transport chain is made up of two dehydrogenases (hydrogenase and formate dehydrogenase) that catalyze the reduction of menaquinone, and fumarate reductase which catalyzes the oxidation of menaquinol.C-type cytochromes are not involved. The phosphorylative electron transport with sulfur as terminal acceptor inW. succinogenes orDesulfuromonas acetoxidans does not involve known quinones. The ATP yields should be even smaller than those with fumarate. Succinate oxidation by sulfur, which is a catabolic reaction inD. acetoxidans, is accomplished by reversed electron transport. 相似文献

Particulate fractions of Thiobacillus denitrificans catalyse the phosphorylation of ADP to ATP during the oxidation of various inorganic sulphur compounds or NADH via an electron transport chain. On the other hand, a soluble cell-free fraction synthesized ATP from APS and inorganic phosphate.The production of ATP was verified either by the firefly luciferin-luciferase enzyme system or by the incorporation of 32Pi into ATP. During the oxidation of sulphide, sulphite and NADH the production of ATP from ADP by particulate fractions is inhibited by compounds that inhibit electron transfer and by uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation. However, these compounds had little effect on the production of ATP from AMP during the oxidation of sulphite by the soluble fraction. NADH was the most effective electron donor for oxidative phosphorylation. The soluble fraction contained high activities of ATP sulphurylase, inorganic pyrophosphatase and adenylate kinase but ADP sulphurylase activity was relatively low. The effects of inhibitors on ATP production from APS and Pi are compared with those on adenylate kinase and ATP sulphurylase.Abbreviations APS

Ca2+ pump and Ca2+/H+ antiporter in plasma membrane vesicles isolated by aqueous two-phase partitioning from corn leaves 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Summary Plasma membrane vesicles, which are mostly right side-out, were isolated from corn leaves by aqueous two-phase partitioning method. Characteristics of Ca2+ transport were investigated after preparing inside-out vesicles by Triton X-100 treatment.45Ca2+ transport was assayed by membrane filtration technique. Results showed that Ca2+ transport into the plasma membrane vesicles was Mg-ATP dependent. The active Ca2+ transport system had a high affinity for Ca2+(K

which is known to inhibit the H+ pump associated with the plasma membrane, canceled almost all of the Cl–-stimulated Ca2+ uptake. Furthermore, artificially imposed pH gradient (acid inside) caused Ca2+ uptake into the vesicles. These results suggest that the Cl–-stimulated Ca2+ uptake is caused by the efflux of H+ from the vesicles by the operation of Ca2+/H+ antiport system in the plasma membrane. In Cl–-free medium, H+ transport into the vesicles scarcely occurred and the addition of CCCP caused only a slight inhibition of the active Ca2+ uptake into the vesicles. These results suggest that two Ca2+ transport systems are operating in the plasma membrane from corn leaves, i.e., one is an ATP-dependent active Ca2+ transport system (Ca2+ pump) and the other is a Ca2+/H+ antiport system. Little difference in characteristics of Ca2+ transport was observed between the plasma membranes isolated from etiolated and green corn leaves. 相似文献

Plasma membrane vesicles prepared from unadhered monocytes: Characterization of calcium transport and the calcium ATPase 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
We have purified unadhered human monocytes in sufficient quantities to prepare monocyte plasma membrane vesicles and study vesicular calcium transport. Monocytes were isolated from plateletpheresis residues by counterflow centrifugal elutriation. By combining this source and procedure, 7 x 10(8) monocytes of over 90% purity were obtained. The membranes, isolated on a sucrose step gradient, had an 18-fold enrichment in Na,K-ATPase, a 29-fold diminution of succinate dehydrogenase activity and were vesicular on transmission electron micrographs. The membrane vesicles loaded with oxalate accumulated calcium only in the presence of Mg and ATP. Calcium uptake did not occur if ATP was replaced by any of five nucleotide phosphates or if Mg was omitted. Calcium transport had a maximal velocity of 4 pmoles calcium/micrograms vesicle protein/min and a Km for calcium of 0.53 microM. The ionophore A23187 completely inhibited calcium accumulation while 5 mM sodium cyanide and 10 microM ouabain had no effect. A calcium-activated ATPase was present in the same plasma membrane vesicles. The calcium ATPase had a maximal velocity of 18.0 pmoles calcium/micrograms vesicle protein/min and a Km for calcium of 0.60 microM. Calcium-activated ATPase activity was absent if Mg was omitted or if (gamma - 32P) GTP replaced (gamma - 32P) ATP. Monocyte plasma membranes that were stripped of endogenous calmodulin by EGTA treatment showed a reduced level of calcium uptake and calcium ATPase activity. The addition of exogenous calmodulin restored the transport activity to that of unstripped monocyte plasma membranes. Thus, monocyte plasma membrane vesicles contain a highly specific, ATP-dependent calcium transport system and a calcium-ATPase with similar high calcium affinities. 相似文献

A monomeric form of the isolated cytochrome b6f complex from spinach chloroplast membranes has been isolated after treatment of the dimeric complex with varying concentrations of Triton X-100. The two forms of the complex are similar as regards electron transfer components and subunit composition. In contrast to a previous report (Huang et al. (1994) Biochemistry 33: 4401–4409) both the monomer and dimer are enzymatically active. However, after incorporation of the respective complexes into phospholipid vesicles, only the dimeric form of the cytochrome complex shows uncoupler sensitive electron transport, an indication of coupling of electron transport to proton translocation. The absence of this activity with the monomeric form of the cytochrome complex may be related to an inhibition by added lipids.Abbreviations CCCP-

Membranes from the facultative photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus can be fused by sonication in vitro to form hybrid membranes, some of which are vesicles. The organization of the redox complexes involved in alternative-oxidase dependent electron transport of R. capsulatus can be studied by testing for in vitro complementation of this activity lacking in membranes from genetic mutants. The results obtained in complementation tests between well characterized mutants support current models of organization of electron transport components in R. capsulatus and confirm the in situ existence of independent functional entities such as NADH-dehydrogenase, reaction center, bacteriochlorophyll light-harvesting complexes and alternative-oxidase (cyt. o). The demonstration that artefactual mixing between different membrane entities may only be induced by treatments such as ultrasonic irradiation promoting intervesicular recombination has been taken as evidence that photorespiratory processes truly reflect an in vivo situation. 相似文献
