title: Inhibition of Cl(-)-stimulated ATPase activity in isolated basolateral membranes from Aplysia gut.
abstract: A Cl(-)-stimulated ATPase activity, which is sensitive to both N-ethylmaleimide and p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonate, has been localized to the basolateral membrane of Aplysia enterocytes. Dithiothreitol reversed the inhibition of Cl(-)-stimulated ATPase induced by p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonate. These results suggest that surface sulfhydryl ligands of the ATPase participate in the catalytic activity of the enzyme.
