| Research Abstract |
1. Cl^- -translocating ATPase in Acetabularia acetabulum
(1) Biochemical studies : Preparative high-yield electroelution method of proteins after SDS-PAGE was established. Partial amino acid sequences obtained from the a (54 kDa) and b (50 kDa) subunit of the Cl^--ATPase showed 40 to 100% similarity to the and subunit of chloroplast ATPase in higher plants, respectively. The improved reconstitution of the Cl^--ATPase into liposomes revealed that the binding of 2 Cl^- to 1 enzyme was required for the Cl^--transport, and Br^- and F^- diminished the Cl^--transport activity driven by ATP.
(2) Molecular cloning : A putative fragment (ca. 160 bp) encoding the a subunit of the Cl^--ATPase was identified by the use of direct amplification of cDNA library from Acetabularia acetabulum. The deduced amino acid sequence contained the identical sequence with the protein sequence from the N-terminus. Several candidate-fragments encoding the b subunit were also obtained and are now under DNA sequencing.

2. Other cation-translocating ATPases in Acetabularia acetabulum
Chloroplast ATPase, alphabetagamma-complex was purified and characterized. The characteristics were different from the Cl^--ATPase. A vacuolar ATPase and inorganic pyrophosphatase were identified by the H^+-transport activities and immunoreactivities with the antibodies against the large and small subunits of mung bean vacuolar ATPase, and pyrophosphatase. The PCR products encoding the alpha (270 bp) and beta (270 bp) subunits of CF_1-ATPase, and the large (280 bp) and small (690 bp) subunits of vacuolar ATPase were identified, and the deduced amino acid sequences showed the highest similarity (over 90%) to the respective subunit of higher plants.
3. Sulfate permease in Acetabularia acetabulum
Sulfate deprivation for 24 h from the artificial sea water caused. about 3-fold increase in ^<35>so_4^<2-> uptake by grown-up cells. A 359 bp fragment amplified by PCR method showed 55% identities to Anacystis nidulans CysA protein-involved in sulfate permease complex. Less
