The brush border membrane of the insect midgut is an initial site fbr interaction of insecticidal proteins. We have investigated the possibility that it may contain a target site for two insecticidal fungal toxins, destruxin and efrapeptin, both of which are ATPase inhibitors. We have studied the effects of the toxins on the hydrolytic activity of a vacuolar type ATPase (V-ATPase) that we have identified from Galleria mellonella midgut columnar cell brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) by its cation and pH dependence, sensitivity to proton pump inhibitors and K-m (0.49 mM ATP). Efrapeptin strongly inhibited the BBMV V-ATPase but destruxin had little effect. We compared the effects of the inhibitors on known plant membrane hydrolytic enzymes, and although the vacuolar pyrophosphatase and plasma membrane ATPase were not inhibited by the toxins, the V-ATPase from mung bean, but not barley, was inhibited (50%) by 10 muM concentrations of both compounds. Different forms of the toxins were tested on the ATPases and destruxin B and efrapeptin F were the most effective. Kinetic analysis showed that the purified forms of both compounds inhibited the V-ATPases uncompetitively and modelling of data for inhibition of the BBMV V-ATPase by efrapeptin at concentrations of 0.06-12 muM yielded a K-i of 0.125 muM.
