Purification of a putative K+-ATPase from Streptococcus faecalis
Abstract
We have purified a novel membrane ATPase from Streptococcus faecalis by the following procedure: extraction of membranes with Triton X-100 followed by fractionation of the extract by successive DEAE-cellulose chromatography, hydroxylapatite chromatography and Cm-Sepharose chromatography. The overall yield was 5%. The purified ATPase appears to consist of a single polypeptide component of Mr = 78,000. The Triton-solubilized purified enzyme has a specific activity of approximately 50 mumol of ATP hydrolyzed per min per mg, is dependent on phospholipids for activity, and is strongly inhibited by vanadate (I50 = 3 microM). Maximal ATPase activity is displayed at pH 7.3. Mg2+-ATP, for which the enzyme has a Km of 60 microM, is the best substrate. The ATPase forms an acylphosphate intermediate that can also be detected in native membranes as the major acylphosphate component. The purified ATPase, when reconstituted into soybean phospholipid vesicles, exhibits coupling, e.g. the ATPase activity can be stimulated at least 8-fold by valinomycin in the presence of potassium. Based on these observations we conclude that the enzyme we have purified is an ion-motive ATPase, most likely a K+-ATPase.
