The action of trypsin on the gastric (H+ + K+)-ATPase.
The effect of trypsin on gastric (H+ + K+)-ATPase and K+-phosphatase was studied. Loss of both enzymic activities was biphasic, consisting of a fast and slow phase. Several peptides were produced from the original 105,000-dalton region of the sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoretic separation, but only two, 87,000 and 47,000 daltons, were labeled following incubation with [gamma-33P]ATP. After a 30-min hydrolysis, 35% of the original peptide remained unaltered and appeared to be a glycoprotein. ATP and ADP abolished the second phase of tryptic inactivation of both activities and only two peptides, of 78,000 and 30,000 daltons, were found on the acrylamide gel in addition to the original 105,000-dalton region, neither of which was labeled by [gamma-33P]ATP. The protection was specific for these nucleotides, AMP, beta, gamma-methylene ATP, TTP, and pNPP being ineffective. Na+ and K+ at high concentrations reduced the rate of loss of activity but no change in the peptides produced was found. The level of phosphoenzyme was increased 2-fold by trypsin treatment, whereas the quantity of K+-sensitive phosphoenzyme remained relatively constant. Thus, the 105,000-dalton region is heterogeneous, consisting of a catalytic subunit (the active site is on a 47,000-dalton fragment), a glycoprotein, and another 105,000-dalton peptide. The action of trypsin is initially to prevent interconversion of a K+-insensitive to a K+-sensitive form of the phosphoenzyme, thus inhibiting hydrolysis.
