    The present study was done primarily to compare cation-ATPase dephosphorylation kinetics with a Cl(-)-ATPase's dephosphorylation kinetics because of the paucity of information in this area. Utilizing a proteoliposomal preparation containing Cl(-)-ATPase from Aplysia gut, it was demonstrated that dephosphorylation of this P-type ATPase was absolutely dependent upon Cl(-). Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) concentrations directly stimulated dephosphorylation of Cl(-)-ATPase in the presence of increasing concentrations of Cl(-). It was also shown that the calculated rate constant for E(1)-P disintegration was 20/sec. This rate constant value approximated E(1)-P rate constant disintegration values for other electrogenic, uniport P-type ATPases. Therefore, it was concluded from these results that the Cl(-)-ATPase dephosphorylation kinetics did not differ greatly from cation-ATPase dephosphorylation kinetics.

    1. Pig heart pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphate complex in which all three sites of phosphorylation were completely phosphorylated was re-activated at a slower rate by phosphatase than complex predominantly phosphorylated in site 1. The ratio of initial rates of re-activation was approx. 1:5 with a comparatively crude preparation of phosphatase and with phosphatase purified by gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. 2. The ratio of apparent first-order rate constants during dephosphorylation of fully phosphorylated complex averaged 1/3.8/1.3 for site 1/site 2/site 3. Only site-1 dephosphorylation was linearly correlated with re-activation of the complex throughout dephosphorylation. Dephosphorylation of site 3 was linearly correlated with re-activation after an initial burst of dephosphorylation. 3. Because dephosphorylation of site 1 was always associated with dephosphorylation of site 2, it is concluded that dephosphorylation cannot be purely random. 4. The ratio of apparent first-order rate constants for dephosphorylation of site 1 (partially/fully phosphorylated complexes) averaged 1.72. This ratio is smaller than the ratio of approx. 5 for the initial rates of re-activation. Possible mechanisms involved in the diminished rate of re-activation of fully phosphorylated complex are discussed.
