Amplification of the Streptococcus faecalis proton-translocating ATPase by a decrease in cytoplasmic pH.
When Streptococcus faecalis was grown in the presence of protonophores , an ATPase activity of the membrane was increased at a pH below 8.0 but not at a pH above 8.0. Characteristics of this increased ATPase were identical to those of a proton-translocating ATPase (H+-ATPase) located on the membrane of normal cells. The cytoplasmic pH was regulated at 7.6 to 7.8 but was not regulated in the pre...
متن کاملA proton-translocating H+-ATPase is involved in C6 glial pH regulation.
Glial cells extrude acid equivalents to maintain pHi. Although four mechanisms have been described so far, pHi-control under physiological conditions is still not sufficiently explained. We therefore investigated whether a H+-translocating ATPase is involved in glial pHi homeostasis using an established glial cell line (C6 glioma). In the absence of bicarbonate, the inhibition of H+-ATPases by ...
متن کاملLowering of cytoplasmic pH is essential for growth of Streptococcus faecalis at high pH.
The growth of Streptococcus faecalis at high pH was significantly stimulated by carbonate. In the absence of added carbonate the cells were unable to grow at a pH above 9.5, but in media containing 50 mM HCO3- they grew even at pH 10.5. Both rate and yield of growth at pH 9.5 were significantly stimulated by as little as 5 mM carbonate. The cytoplasmic pH in growing cells was maintained at abou...
متن کاملLocalization of a proton-translocating ATPase on sucrose gradients.
Ionophore-stimulated ATPase activity and ATP-dependent quinacrine quench were enriched in parallel when microsomal vesicles were prepared from corn (Crow Single Cross Hybrid WF9-Mo17) roots and collected on a cushion of 10% dextran. Activities were highest in the apical 1.5 centimeters of the roots. Vesicles collected on the dextran cushion also contained NADH cytochrome c reductase (enriched i...
متن کاملTopology of the yeast plasma membrane proton-translocating ATPase.
Four proteases have been used to assess the topology of the H+-ATPase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae reconstituted into phosphatidylserine vesicles. Limited proteolysis by trypsin and alpha-chymotrypsin inactivates the enzyme and produces stable, membrane-bound fragments. Sequence analyses of these peptides have located the peptide bonds hydrolyzed. The labile bonds are on opposite sides of a ce...
