Abstract: | The presence of an energy-dependent calcium uptake system in adipocyte endoplasmic reticulum (D. E. Bruns, J. M. McDonald, and L. Jarett, 1976, J. Biol. Chem.251, 7191–7197) suggested that this organelle might possess a calcium-stimulated transport ATPase. This report describes two types of ATPase activity in isolated microsomal vesicles: a nonspecific, divalent cation-stimulated ATPase (Mg2+-ATPase) of high specific activity, and a specific, calcium-dependent ATPase (Ca2+ + Mg2+-ATPase) of relatively low activity. Mg2+-ATPase activity was present in preparations of mitochondria and plasma membranes as well as microsomes, whereas the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity appeared to be localized in the endoplasmic reticulum component of the microsomal fraction. Characterization of microsomal Mg2+-ATPase activity revealed apparent Km values of 115 μm for ATP, 333 μm for magnesium, and 200 μm for calcium. Maximum Mg2+-ATPase activity was obtained with no added calcium and 1 mm magnesium. Potassium was found to inhibit Mg2+-ATPase activity at concentrations greater than 100 mm. The energy of activation was calculated from Arrhenius plots to be 8.6 kcal/mol. Maximum activity of microsomal (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase was 13.7 nmol 32P/mg/min, which represented only 7% of the total ATPase activity. The enzyme was partially purified by treatment of the microsomes with 0.09% deoxycholic acid in 0.15 m KCl which increased the specific activity to 37.7 nmol 32P/mg/min. Characterization of (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity in this preparation revealed a biphasic dependence on ATP with a Hill coefficient of 0.80. The apparent Kms for magnesium and calcium were 125 and 0.6–1.2 μm, respectively. (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase activity was stimulated by potassium with an apparent Km of 10 mm and maximum activity reached at 100 mm potassium. The energy of activation was 21.5 kcal/mol. The kinetics and ionic requirements of (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase are similar to those of the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase in sarcoplasmic reticulum. These results suggest that the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase of adipocyte endoplasmic reticulum functions as a calcium transport enzyme. |
