Abstract

The function of the Mg 2+ -requiring KCl-stimulated ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) of higher plants in active ion transport was investigated by using a purified microsomal fraction containing sealed plasma membrane vesicles. (Sze, H. (1980) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 77, 5904-5908). A transmembrane electrical potential (+30 to +44 mV), monitored by uptake of a permeant anion ( 35 SCN - ), was generated specifically by ATP in purified microsomal vesicles of tobacco callus. ATP-dependent 35 SCN - uptake required Mg 2+ , was optimal at pH 6.75, and showed similar ATP concentration dependence as the Mg 2+ -requiring KCl-stimulated ATPase activity. Plasma membrane ATPase inhibitors ( N,N ′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and vanadate) inhibited generation of the ATP-dependent electrical potential. A proton conductor (carbonyl cyanide m -chlorophenylhydrazone), but not a K + ionophore (valinomycin), completely collapsed the electrical potential. The results provide in vitro evidence that the Mg 2+ /KCl-ATPase of higher plants is an electrogenic pump. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that an electrogenic H + pump is catalyzed by the plasma membrane ATPase of plants.
