Plant PM (plasma membrane) H+-ATPase, a major consumer of cellular ATP, is driven by the MgATP complex which may dissociate at low cytosolic Mg2+ activity. We investigated whether hydrolytic activity of PM H+-ATPase is inhibited at ATP concentrations exceeding the Mg2+ concentration. Activity in isolated maize PMs was measured at pH 6.5 in the presence of 5 mM Mg2+ (high) or 2 mM Mg2+ (low), whereas K+ was applied at concentrations of 155 mM (high) or 55 mM (low). In all experiments, with membrane vesicles either from roots or leaves, the enzyme activity decreased in the presence of Mg2+-free ATP. At inhibitory ATP concentrations, the activity was not influenced by the K+ concentration. The activity was restored after increasing the Mg2+ concentration. ATP inhibition also occurred at pH 7.5. Kinetic modelling shows that Mg2+-free ATP acted as a competitive inhibitor with a Ki in the range of the Km. Ki decreased by 75% at low K+ concentration. Ki was one order of magnitude lower at pH 7.5 compared with pH 6.5. The observed inhibition is consistent with a concept in which down-regulation of the cytosolic Mg2+ activity is involved in (phyto)hormonal stress responses.

Glutathione (GSH) S-transferases (GSTs) have an important role in the detoxification of (+)-anti-7,8-dihydroxy-9,10-oxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene [(+)-anti-BPDE], which is the ultimate carcinogen of benzo[a]pyrene. However, the fate and/or biological activity of the GSH conjugate of (+)-anti-BPDE [(-)-anti-BPD-SG] is not known. We now report that (-)-anti-BPD-SG is a competitive inhibitor (Ki 19 µM) of Pi-class isoenzyme mGSTP1-1, which among murine hepatic GSTs is most efficient in the GSH conjugation of (+)-anti-BPDE. Thus the inhibition of mGSTP1-1 activity by (-)-anti-BPD-SG might interfere with the GST-catalysed GSH conjugation of (+)-anti-BPDE unless one or more mechanisms exist for the removal of the conjugate. The results of the present study indicate that (-)-anti-BPD-SG is transported across canalicular liver plasma membrane (cLPM) in an ATP-dependent manner. The ATP-dependent transport of (-)-anti-[3H]BPD-SG followed Michaelis–Menten kinetics (Km 46 µM). The ATP dependence of the (-)-anti-BPD-SG transport was confirmed by measuring the stimulation of ATP hydrolysis (ATPase activity) by the conjugate in the presence of cLPM protein, which also followed Michaelis–Menten kinetics. In contrast, a kinetic analysis of ATP-dependent uptake of the model conjugate S-[3H](2,4-dinitrophenyl)-glutathione ([3H]DNP-SG) revealed the presence of a high-affinity and a low-affinity transport system in mouse cLPM, with apparent Km values of 18 and 500 µM respectively. The ATP-dependent transport of (-)-anti-BPD-SG was inhibited competitively by DNP-SG (Ki 1.65 µM). Likewise, (-)-anti-BPD-SG was found to be a potent competitive inhibitor of the high-affinity component of DNP-SG transport (Ki 6.3 µM). Our results suggest that GST-catalysed conjugation of (+)-anti-BPDE with GSH, coupled with ATP-dependent transport of the resultant conjugate across cLPM, might be the ultimate detoxification pathway for this carcinogen.

Abscisic acid (ABA) is one of the most important phytohormones involved in abiotic stress responses, seed maturation, germination, and senescence. ABA is predominantly produced in vascular tissues and exerts hormonal responses in various cells, including guard cells. Although ABA responses require extrusion of ABA from ABA-producing cells in an intercellular ABA signaling pathway, the transport mechanisms of ABA through the plasma membrane remain unknown. Here we isolated an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter gene, AtABCG25, from Arabidopsis by genetically screening for ABA sensitivity. AtABCG25 was expressed mainly in vascular tissues. The fluorescent protein-fused AtABCG25 was localized at the plasma membrane in plant cells. In membrane vesicles derived from AtABCG25-expressing insect cells, AtABCG25 exhibited ATP-dependent ABA transport. The AtABCG25-overexpressing plants showed higher leaf temperatures, implying an influence on stomatal regulation. These results strongly suggest that AtABCG25 is an exporter of ABA and is involved in the intercellular ABA signaling pathway. The presence of the ABA transport mechanism sheds light on the active control of multicellular ABA responses to environmental stresses among plant cells.

Bilirubin and phthalein dyes are taken up by the liver via a carrier-mediated mechanism operated at least in part by bilitranslocase (BTL). Because they also undergo renal transport, the presence and function of BTL was investigated in rat renal tubular plasma membrane vesicles. Transport of sulfobromophthalein (BSP) was enriched in basolateral domain of plasma membrane and followed the distribution pattern of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase but not of gamma-glutamyltransferase. BSP uptake was inhibited by addition of monospecific antibodies raised against hepatic BTL. As in liver vesicles, BSP transport was electrogenic, being greatly accelerated by addition of valinomycin in presence of an inwardly directed K+ gradient. Apparent Km of BSP transport was 17 +/- 2 microM (n = 3 expts), one order of magnitude higher than that measured in liver; however, Vmax was similar to that described in liver vesicles (429 +/- 18 nmol BSP.mg protein-1.min-1, n = 3 expts). Competitive inhibition was observed with both unconjugated bilirubin (Ki, 2.9 +/- 0.2 microM) and rifamycin SV (Ki, 76 +/- 10 microM), known competitors for hepatic BTL-mediated transport of BSP. Immunoblotting studies with anti-BTL monospecific antibodies revealed presence of a single positive band only in basolateral-enriched membrane fraction; its apparent molecular mass was 37 kDa, virtually identical to that of hepatic protein. Immunohistochemistry confined presence of BTL to renal proximal tubules (RPT) We conclude that BTL is present in basolateral plasma membrane of RPT cells. Lower affinity of renal, compared with hepatic protein, for substrates might explain the marginal role of kidney in plasma clearance of bilirubin and cholephilic dyes.

Plasma membrane H+-ATPase is known to be detected in detergent-resistant sterol-enriched fractions, also called “raft” domains. Studies on H+-ATPase reconstituted in artificial or native membrane vesicles have shown both sterol-mediated stimulations and inhibitions of its activity. Here, using sealed isolated plasma membrane vesicles, we investigated the effects of sterol depletion in the presence of methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD) on H+-ATPase activity. The rate of ATP-dependent ∆µH+ generation and the kinetic parameters of ATP hydrolysis were evaluated. We show that the relative sterols content in membrane vesicles decreased gradually after treatment with MβCD and reached approximately 40% of their initial level in 30 mM probe solution. However, changes in the hydrolytic and H+-transport activities of the enzyme were nonlinear. The extraction of up to 20% of the initial sterols was accompanied by strong stimulation of ATP-dependent H+-transport in comparison with the hydrolytic activity of enzymes. Further sterol depletion led to a significant inhibition of active proton transport with an increase in passive H+-leakage. The solubilization of control and sterol-depleted vesicles in the presence of dodecyl maltoside negated the differences in the kinetics parameters of ATP hydrolysis, and all samples demonstrated maximal hydrolytic activities. The mechanisms behind the sensitivity of ATP-dependent H+-transport to sterols in the lipid environment of plasma membrane H+-ATPase are discussed.
