Abstract
We obtained two kinds of vesicle preparations which were of different density from the same gastric mucosae of hogs stimulated with food before slaughter. Both kinds contained H+,K+-ATPase. The light vesicle preparation differed from the heavy vesicle preparation as follows: the KCl permeability across the membrane of heavy vesicles was larger than that of light vesicles, the actin (46-kDa peptide on SDS-polyacrylamide gel) content of heavy vesicles was much higher than that of light vesicles, and the H+,K+-ATPase activity of heavy vesicles was less sensitive to a monoclonal antibody raised against light vesicles (HK2032) than that of light vesicles. Furthermore, there was a drastic difference in reactivity to SCH 28080, which is an H+,K+-ATPase-specific inhibitor and reacts competitively with the K+-high affinity site. SCH 28080 is more potent in light vesicles than in heavy vesicles. These results suggest that the conformation of H+,K+-ATPase changed during the translocation from tubulovesicles to the apical plasma membrane. On the other hand, H+,K+-ATPase activities in both vesicles had similar pH and [K+] dependences.
