Abstract
Mg-ATPase activity was demonstrated in isolated beetroot vacuoles. Phosphatase and Mg-ATPase activities were distinguished by inhibition of the phosphatase with molybdate. Phosphatase activity was found to be confined to the vacuolar sap, while ATPase activity was found in both the sap and the tonoplast membrane pellet. The Mg-ATPase was inhibited by N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) but not by ouabain and oligomycin. Mg-ATPase activity was enhanced by chlorides of various monovalent organic and inorganic cations. The pH optimum of Mg-ATPase activity was 7.0-7.5.
