The soluble protein fraction of the extremely halophilic archaeonHaloarcula japonicaexhibits substantial inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) hydrolysis activity in the presence of 2–4 M NaCl (Wakai et al, J Biol Chem 288:29247–29251, 2013), which provides high ionic strength (2–4). In this study, much higher PPi hydrolysis activity was unexpectedly detected, even with 0 M NaCl in the presence of 100–200 mM MgSO4, providing a much lower ionic strength of 0.4–0.8, in the same protein fraction. Na+and Mg2+ions were required for activity under high and low ionic strength conditions, respectively. A recombinantH. japonicapyrophosphatase (HjPPase) exhibited PPi hydrolysis activity with the same broad ionic strength range, indicating that the activity associated with such a broad ionic strength range could be attributed to a single enzyme. Thus, we concluded that the broad ionic strength range of HjPPase may contribute to adaptation for both Na+and Mg2+which are abundant but variable in the unstable living environments ofH. japonica.
