Notes

ATPase Assay Kit (Colorimetric) (ab234055) provides a quick and easy method for monitoring ATPase activity in cell and tissue lysates.

ATPase assay principle
In the ATPase assay protocol, ATPase hydrolyzes ATP releasing ADP and a free phosphate ion, and through linked reactions, a strong, stable chromophore is generated (OD 650 nm).
ATPases catalyzes the decomposition of ATP into ADP and a free phosphate ion. This assay can be used in the study of the many classes of ATPases including Na+ /K+ -ATPase, H + /K+ -ATPase, Ca2+ -ATPase, etc.

ATPase assay protocol summary
- Prepare all samples, controls and standards.
- Add Reaction Mix to each well containing Positive Control, Reagent Control and test samples.
- Incubate at 25°C for 30 min. Do not add Reaction Mix to the Standards.
- Add ATPase Assay Developer to all standards, ATPase Positive Control, Test Samples and Sample Background Controls.
- Incubate at 25°C for 30 minutes.
- Measure OD at 650 nm in Endpoint mode.

Activity summary

ATPase also known as Adenosine Triphosphatase functions as an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP into ADP and inorganic phosphate. This process releases energy which is essential for various cellular activities. ATPases come in various forms including F-type V-type and P-type each with specific roles in cellular energy metabolism. These enzymes are expressed widely in cellular membranes and organelles such as mitochondria chloroplasts and the plasma membrane. The typical molecular mass of ATPase depends on the specific type but it generally ranges from 70 to 100 kDa for individual subunits.

Biological function summary

Enzymes in the ATPase family provide energy required for transport processes signal transduction and muscle contraction. They are essential components of large protein complexes. For example the F1F0 ATP synthase complex in mitochondria and chloroplasts is a pivotal participant in ATP production through oxidative phosphorylation and photophosphorylation. ATPase activity is measured using various assays such as malachite green assay to determine ATPase function by detecting released inorganic phosphate.

Pathways

ATPases are important for energy transduction in key biological pathways like cellular respiration and photosynthesis. They participate in the ATP synthase pathway in mitochondria and chloroplasts and the calcium signaling pathway. These pathways involve interaction with proteins like cytochrome c oxidase in the electron transport chain and calmodulin in calcium homeostasis. ATPase activity assays such as the ATP hydrolysis assay assist researchers in understanding these pathways better by quantifying ATPase activity.

Associated diseases and disorders

ATPases show associations with conditions like Alzheimer's disease and cystic fibrosis. Abnormalities in ATPase function can disrupt cellular energy balance or ion transport leading to neurological and respiratory pathologies. Mutations in ATP7B a copper-transporting ATPase relate to Wilson's disease leading to improper copper homeostasis. Analyzing ATPase activity and function in disease models helps researchers unveil these molecular mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.

    Khilazheva et al used Lactate assay kit L-Lactate Assay Kit (Colorimetric/Fluorometric) ab65330 and ATPase assay kit ab234055 to investigate how an inducible Slc4a11 KO mouse leads to corneal edema by disruption of the pump and barrier functions of the corneal endothelium (CE).

    Changes in the pump function in the inducible Slc4a11 KO. Stomal lactate content; relative values versus control; mean ± SEM, n = 3, *: p < 0.05. Na+-K+ ATPase activity at 14 days of Tm treatment; mean ± SEM, n = 3 (Ctrl) and n = 5 (Tm), *: p < 0.05.

    Stromal Lactate

    Corneas were obtained, and the epithelium and endothelium were removed. Individual stromas were placed in pre-weighed Eppendorf tubes, pulverized in liquid nitrogen, and homogenized in 30 µL of PBS using a plastic disposable pestle. The sample was centrifuged at 15,000× g for 15 min at 4 °C. The supernatant was recovered. The remaining pellet was dried at 60 °C in a vacuum centrifuge for two hours, then weighed (dry weight). Lactate was measured in the supernatant, n 3 for Ctrl and Tm, using a fluorescent kit (Abcam #L-Lactate Assay Kit (Colorimetric/Fluorometric) ab65330, Cambridge, UK) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

    Na+-K+ ATPase Activity

    Two corneal endothelial-Descemet membrane (CEDM) peelings from the same mouse were pooled and homogenized in 30 µL assay buffer, provided in the ATPase Assay kit (Abcam #ab234055), using a plastic disposable pestle. After sonication, the sample was centrifugated at 10,000× g for 10 min at 4 °C. The supernatant was recovered, and the phosphates in the sample were depleted by incubation in 40 µL of PiBind resin (Innova Biosciences #501-0015, Montluçon, France) for 15 min at room temperature in a rotary device. After centrifugation at 1000× g for two minutes, the sample was recovered, and ATPase activity was measured in 5 µL of sample in the presence or absence of 1 mM ouabain. Na+-K+ ATPase activity (n 3 for Ctrl and Tm) was obtained by subtracting the activity in presence of ouabain from the total activity. Protein was measured using the BCA method.
