Abstract

ABSTRACTSeveral divalent cation‐dependent ATP phosphohydrolases associated with cilia, ciliary axonemes, ciliary membranes, pellicles, trichocysts, nuclei, mitochondria, microsomes, and soluble peripheral cell surface fractions of Paramecium tetraurelia were resolved in this study. Fifteen different activity bands were detected in whole cell sonicates or subcellular fractions by Triton polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and ATPase activity staining. The ciliary surface membrane contained two major ATPase activities that were distinct from the enzymes associated with all other cell fractions.
