(Ca-2+ + Mg-2+)-Activated ATPase in the plasma membrane mouse liver cells.
1. Purified plasma membranes from dissociated adult mouse liver cells posses a (Ca-2+ + Mg-2+)-stimulated ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) activity. 2. Enzyme activity is at a maximum with the addition of 0.3 mM Ca-2+ and 3 mM Mg-2+. 3. Using medium devoid of alkali metal ions (Ca-2+ + Mg-2+)-ATPase enzyme activity was observed with Km1 = 0.35 - 10-3 M at a substrate concentration of 1 mM or less and an apparent Km2 = 0.88 - 10-3 M at higher substrate concentrations. 4. In the presence of Na+ and 4 mM ATP, an increase in activity was seen, suggesting the presence of a (Ca-2+ + Mg-2+ + Na+)-activated ATPase. 5. In the presence of both Na+ and K+ the (Ca-2+ + Mg-2+)-dependent enzyme activity was further increased, indicating that a (Ca-2+ +Mg-2+ + K+)-stimulated ATPase may also be present.
