Membrane enzyme systems responsible for the Ca(2+)-dependent phosphorylation of Ser(27), the independent phosphorylation of Tyr(10) and Tyr(7), and the dephosphorylation of these phosphorylated residues in the alpha-chain of H/K-ATPase.

Abstract

H/K-ATPase preparations (the G1 membrane) from pig stomach contain both kinases and phosphatases and show reversible phosphorylation of Tyr(7), Tyr(10), and Ser(27) residues of the alpha-chain of H/K-ATPase. The Tyr-kinase is sensitive to genistein and quercetin and recognized by anti-c-Src antibody. The Ser-kinase is dependent on Ca(2)(+) (K(0.5) = 0.9 microM), sensitive to a PKC inhibitor, and recognized by antibodies against PKCalpha and PKCbetaII. The addition of 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propane-sulfonic acid (CHAPS) caused a dramatic increase in the phosphorylation of added synthetic copolymer substrates and permitted the phosphorylation of maltose-binding proteins fused with the N-terminal domain of alpha-chains. The phosphotyrosine phosphatase was inhibited by vanadate. The phosphoserine phosphatase was inhibited by okadaic acid and by inhibitor-2. The presence of protein phosphatase-1 was immunologically detected. Column chromatographic separation of CHAPS-solubilized G1 membrane and others indicate the apparent molecular weight of the Src-kinase to be approximately 60 kDa, the PKCalpha and/or PKCbII to be approximately 80 kDa, the Tyr-phosphatase to be 200 kDa, and PP-1 to be approximately 35 kDa. These data show that these membrane-bound enzyme systems are in sufficiently close proximity to be responsible for reversible phosphorylation of Tyr(7), Tyr(10), and Ser(27) of the catalytic subunit of membrane H/K-ATPase in parietal cells, the physiological role of which is unknown.
