Characteristics of Ethacrynic Acid Highly Sensitive Mg2+-ATPase in Microsomal Fractions of the Rat Brain: Functional Molecular Size, Inhibition by SITS and Stimulation by Cl-

[摘要] References(42)Cited-By(11)Studies were performed to characterize ethacrynic acid (EA) highly sensitive Mg2+-ATPase isolated from microsomal fractions of the rat brain. The functional molecular sizes of the EA highly sensitive and EA less sensitive Mg2+-ATPases, estimated by a radiation inactivation method, were 480 and 80 kDa, respectively. An anion transport inhibitor, 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene2, 2'-disulfonic acid (SITS) inhibited the EA highly sensitive Mg2+-ATPase activity. The type of inhibition was uncompetitive with respect to ATP, and the inhibition was suppressed by anions such as Cl-, Br- and I-. Chloride ions stimulated enzyme activity with an increase in Vmax, but not in Km, for ATP. Anions tested also increased the enzyme activity in the following order of decreasing potency: Cl- >Br->CH3COO-=I->SO42-=HCO3->SO32-. These results suggest that EA highly sensitive Mg2+-ATPase is a relatively large molecule with anion-sensitive sites that affect the ATP hydrolyzing activity and the SITS binding capacity through anions, with Cl- being the most potent.
