Abstract

The purified tonoplast H+-ATPase from oat roots (Avena sativa L. var. Lang) consists of at least three different polypeptides with masses 72, 60, and 16 kDa. We have used covalent modifiers (inhibitors) and polyclonal antibodies to identify the catalytic subunit of the H+-pumping ATPase. The inactivation of ATPase activity by 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (Nbd-Cl, an adenine analog) was protected by MgATP or MgADP, and showed kinetic properties consistent with active site-directed inhibition. Under similar conditions, [14C]Nbd-Cl preferentially labeled the 72-kDa polypeptide of the purified ATPase. This binding was reduced by MgATP or 2' (3')-)O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl) ATP. Nbd-Cl probably modified cysteinyl--SH or tyrosyl--OH groups, as dithiothreitol reversed both ATPase inactivation and [14C]Nbd-Cl binding to the 72-kDa subunit. The finding that N-ethylmaleimide inhibition of ATPase activity was protectable by nucleotides is consistent with the idea of sulfhydryl groups in the ATP-binding site. Polyclonal antibody made to the 72-kDa polypeptide specifically reacted (Western blot) with a 72-kDa polypeptide from both tonoplast-enriched membranes and the purified tonoplast ATPase, but it did not cross-react with the mitochondrial or Escherichia coli F1-ATPase. The antibody inhibited tonoplast ATPase and H+-pumping activities. We conclude from these results that the 72-kDa polypeptide of the tonoplast H+-ATPase contains an ATP- (or nucleotide-) binding site that may constitute the catalytic domain.
