Abstract

Plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was isolated and purified in its two forms, the activated A-ATPase from glucose-metabolising cells, and the basal-level B-ATPase from cells with endogenous metabolism only. Structure of the two enzyme forms and the effects of beta, gamma-imidoadenosine 5'-triphosphate (AMP-PNP) and of diethylstilbestrol (DES) thereon were analysed by FT-IR spectroscopy. IR spectra revealed the presence of two populations of alpha-helices with different exposure to the solvent in both the A-ATPase and B-ATPase. AMP-PNP did not affect the secondary structure of A-ATPase while DES affected the ratio of the two alpha-helix populations. Thermal denaturation experiments suggested a more stable structure in the B-form than in the A-form. AMP-PNP stabilised the A-ATPase structure while DES destabilised both enzyme forms. IR spectra showed that 60% of the amide hydrogens were exchanged for deuterium in both forms at 20 degrees C. The remaining 40% were exchanged at higher temperatures. The maximum amount of H/D exchange was observed at 50-55 degrees C for both enzyme forms, while in the presence of DES it was observed at lower temperatures. The data do not contradict the possibility that ...Continue Reading
