Abstract

A procedure for the purification of Mg2 Ca2 adenosinetriphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.3) from E. coli, yielding relatively large amounts of highly active enzyme, is described. The enzyme consists of 4 non identical subunits. Trypsin treatment of purified enzyme yields a preparation consisting exclusively of the 2 larger subunits, which are sufficient for ATPase activity. Purified enzyme is inhibited by 7 chloro 4 nitrobenzo 2 oxa 1,3 diazole; this inhibition is reversed by dithiothreitol, and the diazole is found preferentially associated with the β subunit of the enzyme. Antibody prepared against the trypsin treated enzyme inhibited various ATP dependent reactions as well as membrane bound ATPase itself.
