Chromaffin-granule membranes contain two ATPases, which can be separated by (NH4)2SO4 fractionation after solubilization with detergents, or by phase segregation in Triton X-114. ATPase I (Mr 400000) is inhibited by trialkyltin, quercetin and alkylating agents, and hydrolyses both ATP and ITP. It contains up to five types of subunit, including a low-Mr hydrophobic polypeptide that reacts with dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide; these subunits are unrelated to those of mitochondrial F1F0-ATPase, as judged by size and reaction with antibodies. ATPase II (Mr 140000) is inhibited by vanadate, and is specific for ATP; it has not been extensively purified. Proton translocation by resealed chromaffin-granule ‘ghosts’, measured by uptake of methylamine or by quenching of the fluorescence of 9-amino-6-chloro-2-methoxyacridine, is supported by the hydrolysis of ATP or ITP, and inhibited by quercetin or alkylating agents, but not by vanadate. ATPase I must therefore be the proton translocator involved in the uptake of catecholamines and possibly of other components of the chromaffin-granule matrix, whereas ATPase II does not translocate protons.

1. Highly purified resealed chromaffin-granule ‘ghosts’ were assayed for ATPase and ATP-driven H+-translocation and 5-hydroxytryptamine-uptake activities, and for 5-hydroxytryptamine uptake driven by an imposed transmembrane H+-gradient. The effects of several inhibitors on these activities were studied. 2. Dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide inhibits all of these activities, but not in parallel; at low concentrations it decreases the permeability of the membrane to protons. 3. 4-Chloro-7-nitrobenzofuran (Nbf-Cl) and silicotungstate inhibit ATP-dependent activities, without effect on 5-hydroxytryptamine uptake driven by an imposed H+-gradient. 4. Tributyltin chloride inhibits all of the activities. 5. Treatment of the ‘ghosts’ with low concentrations of urea inhibits 5-hydroxytryptamine uptake and ATP-dependent generation of a transmembrane H+-gradient, without inhibiting ATPase activity. 6. Nbf-Cl and silicotungstate are without effect on the rate of leakage of 5-hydroxytryptamine from preloaded ‘ghosts’, whereas dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide and tributyltin chloride accelerate the rate of leakage. 7. Treatment of the membranes with 14C-labelled Nbf-Cl labels several proteins; membranes treated with dicyclohexyl[14C]carbodi-imide are labelled predominantly in a protein of low molecular weight, which may be analogous to the mitochondrial H+-conducting proteolipid. 8. It is concluded that Nbf-Cl and silicotungstate inhibit the H+-translocating ATPase of the granule membrane; that dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide inhibits the ATPase, and inhibits 5-hydroxytryptamine accumulation by accelerating leakage of the amine; and that the effects of tributyltin chloride are due to inhibition of the ATPase, and collapse of the transmembrane H+-gradient through OH−-anion exchange.

Bovine chromaffin granules were lysed and their membranes resealed to give osmotically sensitive ‘ghosts’. These swell in the presence of salts and MgATP. It is shown that this is due to proton entry accompanied by anions. The rate of swelling depends on the anion present, but swelling is not limited to media containing permeant anions. It is quite marked in solutions of sulphates, phosphates and acetates. It is not uncoupler-sensitive, suggesting that at least one component of swelling is due to coupled proton and anion entry (non-electrogenic proton translocation). Direct measurements of transmembrane pH and potential gradients generated in the presence of MgATP shows that these are rapidly established in sucrose media, and are rather little affected by the presence of salts. They contribute roughly equally to the total protonmotive force. The potential gradient is establihsed very rapidly, but the pH gradient is generated over several minutes. The gradients are not completely dissipated by uncoupler, and it is shown that, in media containing sulphate but no permeant anion, sulphate can be taken up by the ‘ghosts’. There thus appear to be two mechanisms of proton translocation across the membrane, both dependent on ATP hydrolysis: an electrogenic transfer of protons, and proton movement linked to an anion transporter of broad specificity.

A procedure has been developed for the rapid purification and reconstitution into phospholipid vesicles of the proton-translocating ATPase of bovine adrenal chromaffin-granule membranes. It involves fractionation of the membranes with Triton X-114, resolubilization of the ATPase with n-octyl glucoside, addition of purified lipids and removal of detergent by gel filtration. The entire process can be completed within 2 h. H+ translocation was detected by the ATP-dependent quenching of the fluorescence of a permeant weak base. The effect of varying the lipid composition of the vesicles on ATP hydrolysis and H+ translocation by the reconstituted enzyme was examined. ATPase activity was maximally increased about 4-fold by added lipid, but was relatively insensitive to its composition, whereas vesicle acidification was absolutely dependent on the addition of phospholipids and cholesterol.

Abstract Background: Vacuolar ATPases (v-ATPases) are proton pumps for proton translocation across membranes that utilize energy derived from ATP hydrolysis; Previous research revealed Osv-ATPases mediates phytohormes levels and resistance in rice. Osv-ATPase subunit d (Osv-ATPase d) is part of an integral, membrane-embedded V0 complex of V-ATPases complex, whether Osv-ATPase d involves in phytohormes biosynthesis and resistance in rice remains unknown.Finding: The knockout mutant line (line 5) of Osv-ATPase d was generated using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, mutation of Osv-ATPase d did not show any detrimental effect on plant growth or yield productivity. Transcriptomic results showed Osv-ATPase d probably involved in mediating the biosynthesis of plant hormones and resistance in rice. Mutation of Osv-ATPase d significantly increased JA and ABA biosynthesis than wild type. Compared to wild type, mutation of Osv-ATPase d increased the resistance against Southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (SRBSDV), however, decreased the resistance against Rice stripe virus (RSV) in rice. Conclusion: Taken together, our data reveal the Osv-ATPase d mediates phytohormone biosynthesis and virus resistance in rice, which can be selected as a potential target for resistance breeding in rice.
