Mutants of Streptococcus faecalis sensitive to alkaline pH lack Na(+)-ATPase.
Alkali-sensitive mutants which grow at pH 7.5 but not at pH 9.5 in Na(+)-rich media were isolated from Streptococcus faecalis ATCC 9790. One of the mutants, designated Nak1, lacked activities of both Na(+)-stimulated ATPase and KtrII (active K+ uptake by sodium ATPase). These activities were restored in a spontaneous revertant designated Nak1R. Active sodium extrusion from Nak1 was observed at ...
متن کاملThe effects of pH on Type VII-NA Bovine Intestinal Mucosal Alkaline Phosphatase Activity
A standard assay for measuring alkaline phosphatase activity is detecting the production of nitrophenol from the artificial substrate p-nitrophenol phosphate. Nitrophenol absorbs light at 420 nm, which provides a convenient detection method. However, the absorbance of nitrophenol varies with pH. This variation complicates the use of the colorimetric assay to study the pH-dependence of alkaline ...
متن کاملAmplification 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 کاملRegulation of endocytic pH by the Na+,K+-ATPase in living cells.
Acidification of endocytosed ligands destined for lysosomes is biphasic, with a rapid drop to pH 6, followed by a slow decrease to pH 5. Continuous measurements of transferrin acidification have confirmed that the pH minimum in early (presorting) endosomes is approximately pH 6. On the basis of measurements of endosomal acidification in vitro, it has been proposed that the pH in the early endos...

1 A specific and essential role for Na,K-ATPase α3 in neurons co-expressing α1 and α3* Background: Neurons express two Na,K-ATPase isoforms, the ubiquitous α1 and neuron-specific α3. Result: α3 is important for control of membrane potential and is fully responsible for restoration of large [Na + ] i increases. Conclusion: α1 and α3 are required for basal neuronal function, but α3 controls resto...
