Popis: A Mg2+-NTPase has been partially purified from the inner membrane of the pea chloroplast envelope. Isolated envelope membranes were solubilized with Triton X-100 and fractionated by DEAE-Sephadex chromatography, followed by ultrafiltration and sucrose density gradient centrifugation. An approximate 35-fold increase in the specific activity of the vanadate and sodium fluoride sensitive NTPase was obtained. Analysis of the partially purified NTPase by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed a single 37-kDa polypeptide that appeared to be associated with the activity. In support of this identification, it is demonstrated that the 37-kDa polypeptide can be photolabeled with 8-azido-ATP.
