Abstract: | H+-translocating ATPase and pyrophosphatase (PPase) associatedwith the tonoplast of Chara corallina were isolated with theaid of a perfusion technique, and the effects of ions on theiractivities were studied. All the alkali metal cations testedstimulated the ATPase and ATPdependent H+ pumping activitiesonly by 10 to 40%. Anions, on the other hand, strongly affectedthe activities. Potassium salts of Cl- and Br- stimulated them,while F- and NO3- inhibited them. By contrast, the H+-translocatingPPase was insensitive to anions but sensitive to cations. Theorder of cation stimulation was Rb+=K+>Cs+>Na+=Li+>choline+.NO3- (50 mil), thought to be a specific inhibitor of the tonoplast-typeH+-ATPase, inhibited the ATPdependent H+ pumping almost completelybut the ATPase activity by only about 50%. Na+ inhibited thePP1-dependent H+ pumping (I5O=5OmM) in the presence of 50 mMKCl but not the ATP-dependent one. The PPase was more sensitiveto F- (I50=400µM) than the ATPase. Both the H+-ATPaseand the H+-PPase required Mg2+ for their activities, althoughan excess was inhibitory to both. The different sensitivitiesof the PP1-dependent and the ATP-dependent H+- pumping enzymesto ions correspond to the tonoplast enzymes of higher plantsand may be used as "markers" to distinguish between these enzymesin characean cells (Received October 2, 1987; Accepted May 18, 1988) |
