Abstract

ATPase activity of the plasma membrane fraction from primary roots of corn (Zea mays L. WF9 x M14) was activated by Mg(2+) and further stimulated by monovalent cations (K(+) > Rb(+) > Cs(+) > Na(+) > Li(+)). K(+)-stimulated activity required Mg(2+) and was substrate-specific. Maximum ATPase activity in the presence of Mg(2+) and K(+) was at pH 6.5 and 40 C. Calcium and lanthanum (<0.5 mm) were inhibitors of ATPase, but only in the presence of Mg(2+). Oligomycin was not an inhibitor of the plasma membrane ATPase, whereas N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide was. Activity showed a simple Michaelis-Menten saturation with increasing ATP.Mg. The major effect of K(+) in stimulating ATPase activity was on maximum velocity. The kinetic data of K(+) stimulation were complex, but similar to the kinetics of short term K(+) influx in corn roots. Both K(+)-ATPase and K(+) influx kinetics met all criteria for negative cooperativity. The results provided further support for the concept that cation transport in plants is energized by ATP, and mediated by a cation-ATPase on the plasma membrane.
