Characterization of a P-type copper-stimulated ATPase from mouse liver.
Mouse liver microsomes treated with octylthioglucoside (OTG-microsomes) were examined for copper-stimulated ATPase activity. The activity was about 1 micromol Pi/mg protein/hr under optimal conditions [300 mM KCl, 3 mm MgSO4, 10 mM GSH, 0.5 micron CuSO4, 3 mM ATP and 50 mM acetate buffer at pH5.0]. A reducing agent such as GSH or dithiothreitol was required for the activity, and removal of Cu+ from the reaction mixture by bathocuporinedisulfonate resulted in a complete loss of copper-stimulated ATPase activity. Vanadate inhibited the copper-stimulated ATPase activity. The OTG-microsomes were phosphorylated in a hydroxylamine-sensitive and copper-stimulated way. Iron used instead of copper also stimulated both ATPase and phosphorylation. These results suggest that microsomes from mouse liver contain copper/iron-stimulated P-type ATPase.
