Atpase Localization

Adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity has been shown to be associated with numerous physiological processes in both plants and animal cells. Biochemical studies have shown that in higher plants ATPase activity is high in cell wall preparations and is associated with the plasma membrane, nuclei, mitochondria, chloroplasts and lysosomes. However, there have been only a few ATPase localization studies of higher plants at the electron microscope level. Poux (1967) demonstrated ATPase activity associated with most cellular organelles in the protoderm cells of Cucumis roots. Hall (1971) has demonstrated ATPase activity in root tip cells of Zea mays. There was high surface activity largely associated with the plasma membrane and plasmodesmata. ATPase activity was also demonstrated in mitochondria, dictyosomes, endoplasmic reticulum and plastids.

Intercalated cells (ICs) from kidney collecting ducts contain proton-transporting ATPases (H+-ATPases) whose plasma membrane expression is regulated under a variety of conditions. It has been shown that net proton secretion occurs in the distal nephron from chronically K+-depleted rats and that upregulation of tubular H+- ATPase is involved in this process. However, regulation of this protein at the level of individual cells has not so far been examined. In the present study, H+-ATPase activity was determined in individually identified ICs from control and chronically K+-depleted rats (9–14 days on a low-K+ diet) by monitoring K+- and Na+-independent H+ extrusion rates after an acute acid load. Split-open rat cortical collecting tubules were loaded with the intracellular pH (pHi) indicator 2′,7′-bis(2-carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein, and pHiwas determined by using ratiometric fluorescence imaging. The rate of pHi recovery in ICs in response to an acute acid load, a measure of plasma membrane H+-ATPase activity, was increased after K+ depletion to almost three times that of controls. Furthermore, the lag time before the start of pHirecovery after the cells were maximally acidified fell from 93.5 ± 13.7 s in controls to 24.5 ± 2.1 s in K+-depleted rats. In all ICs tested, Na+- and K+-independent pHi recovery was abolished in the presence of bafilomycin (100 nM), an inhibitor of the H+-ATPase. Analysis of the cell-to-cell variability in the rate of pHi recovery reveals a change in the distribution of membrane-bound proton pumps in the IC population of cortical collecting duct from K+-depleted rats. Immunocytochemical analysis of collecting ducts from control and K+-depleted rats showed that K+-depletion increased the number of ICs with tight apical H+ATPase staining and decreased the number of cells with diffuse or basolateral H+-ATPase staining. Taken together, these data indicate that chronic K+ depletion induces a marked increase in plasma membrane H+ATPase activity in individual ICs.

Cargo Sorting

The vacuolar proton-translocating ATPase (V-ATPase) plays a major role in organelle acidification and works together with other ion transporters to maintain pH homeostasis in eukaryotic cells. We analyzed a requirement for V-ATPase activity in protein trafficking in the yeast secretory pathway. Deficiency of V-ATPase activity caused by subunit deletion or glucose deprivation results in missorting of newly synthesized plasma membrane proteins Pma1 and Can1 directly from the Golgi to the vacuole. Vacuolar mislocalization of Pma1 is dependent on Gga adaptors although no Pma1 ubiquitination was detected. Proper cell surface targeting of Pma1 was rescued in V-ATPase-deficient cells by increasing the pH of the medium, suggesting that missorting is the result of aberrant cytosolic pH. In addition to mislocalization of the plasma membrane proteins, Golgi membrane proteins Kex2 and Vrg4 are also missorted to the vacuole upon loss of V-ATPase activity. Because the missorted cargos have distinct trafficking routes, we suggest a pH dependence for multiple cargo sorting events at the Golgi.

AbstractThe effectiveness of ATPase in germinated seed may play an important role in the vigour of germination. The activities of tonoplast and plasma membrane ATPases in two maize (Zea mays L.) lines with different vigour of germination were determined. ATP hydrolysis was measured in microsomal fractions from coleoptiles along with the responses to specific inhibitors for the plasma membrane, tonoplast and mitochondrial ATPases as well as for acid phosphatase. Nitrate-sensitive ATPase activity was 1.5–3.0 times lower in the low-vigour line than in the high-vigour line. Kinetic analysis of ATP hydrolysis at different substrate concentrations revealed the existence of two enzymes in the microsomal fractions of the two lines. The Vmax of enzyme 1 in the low-vigour line was a third of that in the high-vigour line. This enzyme was identified as the nitrate-sensitive or tonoplast ATPase on the basis of measurements of ATP hydrolysis in the presence of specific inhibitors at high (8.12mm) and low (0.77mm) ATP concentrations.

Phi Regulation

The role of plasma membrane V-ATPase activity in the regulation of cytosolic pH (pHi) was determined for resident alveolar and peritoneal macrophages (m theta) from sheep. Cytosolic pH was measured using 2',7'-biscarboxyethyl-5,6-carboxyfluorescein (BCECF). The baseline pHi of both cell types was sensitive to the specific V-ATPase inhibitor bafilomycin A1. Bafilomycin A1 caused a significant (approximately 0.2 pH units) and rapid (within seconds) decline in baseline pHi. Further, bafilomycin A1 slowed the initial rate of pHi recovery (dpHi/dt) from intracellular acid loads. Amiloride had no effects on baseline pHi, but reduced dpHi/dt (acid-loaded pHi nadir < 6.8) by approximately 35%. Recovery of pHi was abolished by co-treatment of m theta with bafilomycin A1 and amiloride. These data indicate that plasma membrane V-ATPase activity is a major determinant of pHi regulation in resident alveolar and peritoneal m theta from sheep. Sheep m theta also appear to possess a Na+/H+ exchanger. However, Na+/H+ exchange either is inactive or can be effectively masked by V-ATPase-mediated H+ extrusion at physiological pHi values.
