Abstract
A Mg2+-ATPase-enriched fraction was obtained from solubilized human erythrocyte membranes by ammonium sulphate precipitation and anion-exchange chromatography. The solubilized enzyme, of apparent molecular weight 120 kDa, requires phosphatidylserine to be fully active. Phosphatidylethanolamine but not other anionic phospholipids can only partially restore the activity. The Mg-ATPase has a low affinity for Mg2+-ATP and is inhibited by fluoride, vanadate, vanadyl and calcium ions. From these characteristics, we infer that this Mg2+-ATPase is the same protein as the aminophospholipid translocase which regulates the membrane phospholipid transverse distribution in human erythrocytes by actively transporting aminophospholipids from the outer to the inner monolayerKeywords
