Streptococcal cytoplasmic pH is regulated by changes in amount and activity of a proton-translocating ATPase

H Kobayashi, T Suzuki and T Unemoto

The Streptococcus faecalis H+-ATPase (F1 X F0 complex) level was elevated when the cytoplasmic pH was shifted below 7.5. The elevated level was attained by the increase in functional unit (F1 X F0 complex) in membranes, but not by the activation of the enzyme. Our data strongly suggested that the increase in enzyme arises from stimulation of enzyme biosynthesis. When calls growing at pH 7.6 were transferred to an acid medium with a pH below 7, the amount of H+-ATPase increased. The amount of H+-ATPase decreased to the basal level when the medium was alkalized again. Cytoplasmic pH was not controlled normally in cells where a change in the amount of H+-ATPase was inhibited. Based on these findings and previous data (Kobayashi, H. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 72-76), we propose a model for the regulatory mechanism of streptococcal cytoplasmic pH: the pH is regulated by changes in amount and activity of the H+-ATPase, which are dependent on the cytoplasmic pH.
