Multiple deoxyribonucleic acid dependent adenosinetriphosphatases in FM3A cells. Characterization of an adenosinetriphosphatase that prefers poly [d(A-T)] as cofactor.
Four chromatographically distinct DNA-dependent ATPases, B, C1, C2, and C3, have been partially purified from mouse FM3A cell extracts. These ATPases are distinguished from each other by their physical and enzymological properties. DNA-dependent ATPases B, C1, C2, and C3 have sedimentation coefficients in 250 mM KCl of 5.5, 5.3, 7.3, and 3.4 S, respectively. ATPases B, C2, and C3 hydrolyze dATP as efficiently as ATP, whereas C1 does not. ATPase B hydrolyzes other ribonucleoside triphosphates with relatively high efficiency as compared to the other three enzymes. ATPase C3 prefers poly[d(A-T)] to poly(dT) as cofactor, whereas the other three enzymes prefer poly(dT) to poly[d(A-T)]. Among the four ATPases, ATPase C3 has been highly purified and characterized in detail. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the most purified fraction of ATPase C3 showed two major bands corresponding to molecular weights of 66 000 and 63 000. The Km values of the enzyme for ATP and dATP are 0.53 and 0.86 mM, respectively. As cofactor, poly[d(A-T)] is the most effective among the DNAs tested. Heat-denatured DNA and native DNA are also effective but used with less efficiency. Almost no or very little activity has been detected with ribohomopolymers and oligonucleotides. The activity attained with poly(dT) and poly(dA) is 11 and 6% of that with heat-denatured DNA, respectively. When both polymers were added at a molar ratio 1 to 1, very high activity was obtained with these polymers. On the other hand, little activity was observed by the combination of noncomplementary homopolymers such as poly(dT) and poly(dG).
