H+-translocating pyrophosphatase (H+-PPase) of the photosynthetic bacteriumRhodospirillum rubrum was expressed in Escherichia coli C43(DE3) cells. Recombinant H+-PPase was observed in inner membrane vesicles, where it catalyzed both PPi hydrolysis coupled with H+ transport into the vesicles and PPi synthesis. The hydrolytic activity of H+-PPase in E. coli vesicles was eight times greater than that in R. rubrum chromatophores but exhibited similar sensitivity to the H+-PPase inhibitor, aminomethylenediphosphonate, and insensitivity to the soluble PPase inhibitor, fluoride. Using this expression system, we showed that substitution of Cys185, Cys222, or Cys573 with aliphatic residues had no effect on the activity of H+-PPase but decreased its sensitivity to the sulfhydryl modifying reagent, mersalyl. H+-PPase lacking all three Cys residues was completely resistant to the effects of mersalyl. Mg2+ and MgPPi protected Cys185 and Cys573 from modification by this agent but not Cys222. Phylogenetic analyses of 23 nonredundant H+-PPase sequences led to classification into two subfamilies. One subfamily invariably contains Cys222and includes all known K+-independent H+-PPases, whereas the other incorporates a conserved Cys573 but lacks Cys222 and includes all known K+-dependent H+-PPases. These data suggest a specific link between the incidence of Cys at positions 222 and 573 and the K+ dependence of H+-PPase.
