Abstract
The kdpABC operon codes for the high affinity K(+)-translocating Kdp complex (P-type ATPase) of Escherichia coli. Upon expression of this operon in minicells, a so far unrecognized small hydrophobic polypeptide, KdpF, could be identified on high resolution SDS-polyacrylamide gels in addition to the subunits KdpA, KdpB, and KdpC. Furthermore, it could be demonstrated that KdpF remains associated with the purified complex. As determined by mass spectrometry, this peptide is present in its formylated form and has a molecular mass of 3100 Da. KdpF is not essential for growth on low K(+) (0.1 mM) medium, as shown by deletion analysis of kdpF, but proved to be indispensable for a functional enzyme complex in vitro. In the absence of KdpF, the ATPase activity of the membrane-bound Kdp complex was almost indistinguishable from that of the wild type. In contrast, the purified detergent-solubilized enzyme complex showed a dramatic decrease in enzymatic activity. However, addition of purified KdpF to the KdpABC complex restored the activity up to wild type level. It is interesting to note that the addition of high amounts of E. coli lipids had a similar effect. Although KdpF is not essential for the function of the Kdp complex in vivo, it is part of the complex and functions as a stabilizing element in vitro. The corresponding operon should now be referred to as kdpFABC.

Abstract
Potassium transport across synaptosomes was studied under the influence of two synthetic pyrethroids, (Permethrin, without the cyano group) and Cypermethrin (CPM, with the cyano group). Synaptosomes were isolated from rat brain cerebral cortex and incubated with 40 microM of PM and CPM for 15 min at 37 degrees C. K+ release was monitored by a K(+)-sensitive electrode. CPM caused more K+ release from synaptosomes compared to PM. K+ transport is regulated by Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, K(+)-ATPase and K+ channels. To understand the mode of action, synaptosomes were preincubated with 9.5 x 10(-3) M ouabain (inhibitor of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase), 1.7 x 10(-2) M N-ethylmaleamide (K(+)-ATPase inhibitor), and 9.5 x 10(-5) M quinine sulfate (K(+)-channel blocker) for 15 min at 37 degrees C. In the presence of ouabain and N-ethylmaleamide, PM- and CPM-induced K+ release was decreased and in the presence of quinine sulfate, there was no release of K+. Furthermore, the studies indicated that PM and CPM significantly decreased K+ uptake.

Abstract
The P-type Ca2+-ATPase from Flavobacterium odoratum has been purified to homogeneity and characterized. Inside-out membrane vesicles were extracted with C12E8, followed by ammonium sulfate fractionation, centrifugation through two successive 32-48% glycerol gradients, and DE52 ion exchange chromatography. The purified Ca2+-ATPase consists of a single polypeptide. It migrates electrophoretically with an apparent molecular mass of 60,000 Da, consistent with the phosphorylation pattern originally reported in membrane vesicles. This single polypeptide is functional and capable of calcium-dependent vanadate-sensitive ATP hydrolysis and of forward and reverse phosphorylation. Maximum hydrolysis activity occurs at pH 8.0, with a specific activity of approximately 75 micromol of ATP hydrolyzed min-1 mg-1 protein. The purified Ca2+-ATPase has an apparent Km for calcium of 1.5 microM and for ATP of 90 microM. Vanadate strongly inhibits the activity with an IC50 of 0.6 microM. The prokaryotic Ca2+-ATPase is insensitive to the SR Ca2+-ATPase inhibitors fluorescein isothiocyanate, thapsigargin, and cyclopiazonic acid. It is rapidly phosphorylated by [gamma-32P]ATP in a calcium-dependent vanadate-inhibited manner and can be phosphorylated by Pi in both the presence and absence of calcium.

Abstract
During growth on low-K+ medium (1 mM K+), Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum accumulated K+ up to concentration gradients ([K+]intracellular/[K+]extracellular) of 25,000- to 50,000-fold. At these gradients ([K+]extracellular of < 20 microM), growth ceased but could be reinitiated by the addition of K+ or Rb+. During K+ starvation, the levels of a protein with an apparent molecular weight of 31,000 increased about sixfold. The protein was associated with the membrane and could be extracted by detergents. Cell suspensions of M. thermoautotrophicum obtained after K+-limited growth catalyzed the transport of both K+ and Rb+ with apparent Km and Vmax values of 0.13 mM and 140 nmol/min/mg, respectively, for K+ and 3.4 mM and 140 nmol/min/mg, respectively, for Rb+. Rb+ competitively inhibited K+ uptake with an inhibitor constant of about 10 mM. Membranes of K+-starved cells did not exhibit K+-stimulated ATPase activity. Immunoblotting with antisera against Escherichia coli Kdp-ATPase did not reveal any specific cross-reactivity against membrane proteins of K+-starved cells. Cells of M. thermoautotrophicum grown at a high potassium concentration (50 mM) catalyzed K+ and Rb+ transport at similar apparent Km values (0.13 mM for K+ and 3.3 mM for Rb+) but at significantly lower apparent Vmax values (about 60 nmol/min/mg for both K+ and Rb+) compared with K+-starved cells. From these data, it is concluded that the archaeon M. thermoautotrophicum contains a low-affinity K+ uptake system which is overproduced during growth on low-K+ medium.

Abstract
The ATP-generating system described by Hugenholtz, J., Hong, J.-S. and Kaback, H.R. ((1981) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 78, 3446-3449) has been used to synthesize ATP up to 1.8 mM in right-side-out membrane vesicles from Escherichia coli. This ATP level was sufficient to drive uptake of potassium ions via the Kdp-ATPase. In the kdp wild type strain about 110 nmoles K+/mg membrane protein were accumulated. This process was still partially sensitive to the well-known inhibitors of P-type ATPases, orthovanadate and bafilomycin B1.

Abstract
Various ATPases have been tested for their sensitivity to naturally occurring unusual macrolides and their chemically modified derivatives, which are structurally related to bafilomycin A1 (1), the first specific inhibitor of vacuolar ATPases. The structure-activity study showed that in general the concanamycins, 18-membered macrolides, are better and more specific inhibitors than the bafilomycins of this class of membrane-bound ATPases. The additional carbohydrate residue is not responsible for the improved activity. The importance of an intact hemiketal ring, which is part of an intramolecular hydrogen-bonding network, and the effects of the size of the macrolactone ring are discussed. The structurally related elaiophylin (13), a C2-symmetric macrodiolide antibiotic, proved to be inactive on vacuolar ATPases but still retained its inhibitory effect on P-type ATPases.

Abstract
The potassium-translocating Kdp-ATPase of Escherichia coli shares common functional properties with eukaryotic P-type ATPases. The KdpB subunit has been identified as the catalytic subunit forming the phosphorylated intermediate. Substitution of Asp-307 in KdpB by Glu, Asn, Gln, Tyr, His, Ala or Ser by site-directed mutagenesis and the subsequent transfer of the point mutations to the chromosome revealed that the mutants were not functioning with respect to cell growth at low K+ concentrations and ATPase activity as well as phosphorylation capacity of the purified Kdp complex. These findings indicate that Asp-307 in KdpB is the phosphorylation site of the Kdp-ATPase. In contrast, replacement of the close but non-conserved Asp-300 by Asn or Glu has no immediate influence on the enzyme functions tested. However, the Km for K+ of the ATPase activity has been increased 30-fold compared with the wild-type enzyme.

Abstract
Cells of the purple nonsulfur bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides express a high-affinity K+ uptake system when grown in media with low K+ concentrations. A vanadate-sensitive, K(+)-stimulated and Mg(2+)-stimulated ATPase was purified from membranes of these cells by solubilization with decyl-beta-D-maltoside in the presence of Escherichia coli phospholipids followed by triazine-dye affinity chromatography. This primary transport system has a substrate specificity and an inhibitor sensitivity closely similar to those of the Kdp ATPase from E. coli and is composed of three subunits with molecular masses of 70.0, 43.5, and 23.5 kDa.

Abstract
Cells of the thermoacidophilic bacterium Bacillus acidocaldarius express a high-affinity K+-uptake system when grown at low external K+. A vanadate-sensitive, K+- and Mg2+-stimulated ATPase was partially purified from membranes of these cells by solubilization with a non-ionic detergent followed by ion-exchange chromatography of the extract. Combinations of non-denaturing and denaturing electrophoretic separation methods revealed that the ATPase complex consisted of three subunits with molecular weights almost identical to those of the KdpA, B and C proteins, which together form the Kdp high-affinity, K+-translocating ATPase complex of Escherichia coli. The affinity of the partially purified ATPase from B. acidocaldarius for its substrates K+ (Km 2-3 microM) and ATP (Km 80 microM), its stimulation by various divalent cations, and its inhibition by vanadate (Ki 1-2 microM), bafilomycin A1 (Ki 20 microM), DCCD (Ki 200 microM) or Ca2+ were also similar to those of the E. coli enzyme, indicating that the two K+-translocating ATPases have almost identical properties.

Abstract
The capacity of organisms to respond to fluctuations in their osmotic environments is an important physiological process that determines their abilities to thrive in a variety of habitats. The primary response of bacteria to exposure to a high osmotic environment is the accumulation of certain solutes, K+, glutamate, trehalose, proline, and glycinebetaine, at concentrations that are proportional to the osmolarity of the medium. The supposed function of these solutes is to maintain the osmolarity of the cytoplasm at a value greater than the osmolarity of the medium and thus provide turgor pressure within the cells. Accumulation of these metabolites is accomplished by de novo synthesis or by uptake from the medium. Production of proteins that mediate accumulation or uptake of these metabolites is under osmotic control. This review is an account of the processes that mediate adaptation of bacteria to changes in their osmotic environment.

Abstract
The Kdp system from Escherichia coli is a derepressible high-affinity K+-uptake ATPase. Its membrane-bound ATPase activity was approximately 50 mumol g-1 min-1. The Kdp-ATPase complex was purified from everted vesicles by solubilization with the nonionic detergent Aminoxid WS 35 followed by DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B chromatography at pH 7.5 and pH 6.4 and gel filtration on Fractogel TSK HW-65. The overall yield of activity was 6.5% and the purity at least 90%. The isolated KdpABC complex had a high affinity for its substrates K+ (Km app. = 10 microM) and Mg2+-ATP (Km = 80 microM) and a narrow substrate specificity. The ATPase activity was inhibited by vanadate (Ki = 1.5 microM), fluorescein isothiocyanate (Ki = 3.5 microM), N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (Ki = 60 microM) and N-ethylmaleimide (Ki = 0.1 mM). The purification protocol was likewise applicable to the isolation of a KdpA mutant ATPase which in contrast to the wild-type enzyme exhibited an increased Km value for K+ of 6 mM and a 10-fold lowered sensitivity for vanadate. Starting from the purified Kdp complex the single subunits were obtained by gel filtration on Bio-Gel P-100 in the presence of SDS. Both the native Kdp-ATPase and the SDS-denatured polypeptides were used to raise polyclonal antibodies. The specificity of the antisera was established by immunoblot analysis. In functional inhibition studies the anti-KdpABC and anti-KdpB sera impaired ATPase activity in the membrane-bound as well as in the purified state of the enzyme. In contrast, the anti-KdpC serum did not inhibit enzyme activity.

Abstract
Various membrane ATPases have been tested for their sensitivity to bafilomycin A1, a macrolide antibiotic. F1F0 ATPases from bacteria and mitochondria are not affected by this antibiotic. In contrast, E1E2 ATPases--e.g., the K+-dependent (Kdp) ATPase from Escherichia coli, the Na+,K+-ATPase from ox brain, and the Ca2+-ATPase from sarcoplasmic reticulum--are moderately sensitive to this inhibitor. Finally, membrane ATPases from Neurospora vacuoles, chromaffin granules, and plant vacuoles are extremely sensitive. From this we conclude that bafilomycin A1 is a valuable tool for distinguishing among the three different types of ATPases and represents the first relatively specific potent inhibitor of vacuolar ATPases.
