RESUMO
A membrane-bound adenosine triphosphatase (EC 3.6.1.3) that requires Mg++ and that is stimulated by monovalent ions has been purified 7- to 8-fold from homogenates of oat (Avena sativa L. Cult. Goodfield) roots by discontinuous sucrose-gradient centrifugation. The enzyme was substrate specific; adenosine triphosphate was hydrolyzed 25 times more rapidly than other nucleoside triphosphates. The membrane fraction containing adenosine triphosphatase was enriched in plasma membranes, which were identified by the presence of a glucan synthetase (EC 2.4.1.12), a high sterol to phospholipid ratio, and by a stain consisting of periodic acid, chromic acid, and phosphotungstic acid that is specific for plant plasma membranes. Oat-root plasma membranes and the associated adenosine triphosphatase were purified on either a 6-layer discontinuous sucrose gradient or on a simplified gradient consisting of only two sucrose layers.
