ATPases with similar kinetic properties have been identified in the plasma membranes of Neurospora crassa [1, 2], Schizosaccharomyces pombe [3] andSaccharomyces cerevisiae [4]. In these fungal cells the active transport of nutrients is coupled to the proton gradient and therefore it has been suggested that this ATPase operates as a proton pump [5-71. In order to obtain direct evidence for this important physiological role it would be necessary to purify the enzyme, incorporate it into liposomes and look for ATP-driven proton transport in these structures [8]. The purification of membrane enzymes requires in most cases their solubilization with detergents and, as stated in [9], the optimal detergent for a particular membrane protein has to be found empirically. The plasma membrane ATPase of SchizosaccharomJlces pombe has been solubilized with lysolecithin [lo] but this agent. as well as many other conventional detergents were inoperative in our hands for the solubilization of the enzyme from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
