Atpase and Protein Kinase in Membranes From Corn Roots: Regulation of Tonoplast Atpase by Calmodulin or by Protein Kinase

A study was conducted to find if microsomal H('+)-ATPases from corn roots are regulated by Ca('2+)- or calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein phosphorylation. This work included: (a) identifying the microsomal H('+)-ATPases; (b) characterizing protein kinase and phosphatase activities in microsomal fractions; (c) finding whether conditions that lead to protein phosphorylation inhibit H('+)-ATPase activities; and (d) purifying the H('+)-ATPase in order to find whether it becomes phosphorylated by a protein kinase.
