title: The effect of HCO3- on anion-stimulated ATPase from rat parotid granules.
abstract: ATPase from isolated secretory granules was stimulated in a concentration-dependent manner by HCO3- above 0.9 mM. Maximal stimulation was found at about 16 mM HCO3- and was about half of that with sulphite (SO3(2-)). The activation site(s) appeared to be similar to at least one class of SO3(2-) sites, HCO3(-)-stimulate ATPase was inhibited by SITS. Furthermore, maximal stimulation with SO3(2-) was not enhanced with HCO3-. At low Mg2+ concentrations, Ca2+ stimulated granule ATPase. At higher concentrations of Mg2+ (0.5 mM and above), Ca2+ at 0.1 mM or less had little effect on HCO3(-)-ATPase, and Ca2+ at 4 mM inhibited HCO3(-)-ATPase. At concentrations of Ca2+ above 0.44 mM, the enzyme was partially stimulated in the absence of Mg2+ and presence of HCO3-. Mitochondrial contamination did not account for the presence of ATPase in the isolated granule fraction. The granule ATPase may be regulated by HCO3- and calcium and this could be related to changes in the granule environment during exocytosis.
