The oligomeric size of the H,K-ATPase was determined in frozen gastric microsomal vesicles irradiated with high energy electrons. Target sizes of various catalytic activities associated with H,K-ATPase function fell into two distinct groups. The lower group of target sizes described the radiation-induced loss of steady-state phosphoenzyme and structural monomer: the MgATP-dependent formation of a beta-aspartyl phosphate exhibited a size range of 133-147 kDa; the size range for the structural measurement (i.e. loss of H,K-ATPase monomer on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels) was 92-143 kDa. In contrast, a larger group of target sizes described the loss of full cycle catalytic activities (i.e. K+-dependent stimulation of p-nitrophenyl phosphate and ATP hydrolysis). The K+-phosphatase and K+-stimulated ATPase exhibited target sizes fo 200 +/- 13 and 232 +/- 23 kDa, respectively. The lower target size group represents the first evidence that a monomer of the catalytic subunit maintains partial enzyme function. The larger group of target sizes describing K+-phosphatase and ATPase activities suggest that subunit interactions contribute to full cycle catalytic activity. Subunit interactions appear to be involved in all ion transport activities. Passive Rb+ exchange and active H+ transport in reconstituted proteoliposomes exhibited target sizes of 233n = 2 and 388 +/- 48 kDa, respectively. H+ transport appears to require a subunit arrangement more complex than that associated with catalytic activity or passive ion transport.

D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008861	Microsomes	Artifactual vesicles formed from the endoplasmic reticulum when cells are disrupted. They are isolated by differential centrifugation and are composed of three structural features: rough vesicles, smooth vesicles, and ribosomes. Numerous enzyme activities are associated with the microsomal fraction.
