Measurements have been made of the ATP-dependent membrane potential (delta psi) and pH gradient (delta pH) across the membranes of the synaptic vesicles purified from bovine cerebral cortex, using the voltage-sensitive dye bis[3-propyl-5-oxoisoxazol-4-yl]pentamethine oxanol and the delta pH-sensitive fluorescent dye 9-aminoacridine respectively. A pre-existing small delta pH (inside acidic) was detected in the synaptic vesicles, but no additional significant contribution by MgATP to delta pH was observed. In contrast, delta psi (inside positive) increased substantially upon addition of MgATP. This ATP-dependent delta psi was reduced by thiocyanate anion (SCN-), a delta psi dissipator, or carbonyl cyanide p-(trifluoromethoxy)phenylhydrazone (FCCP), a protonmotive-force dissipator. Correspondingly, a substantially larger glutamate uptake occurred in the presence of MgATP, which was inhibited by SCN- and FCCP. A nonhydrolysable analogue of ATP, adenosine 5'-[beta gamma-methylene]triphosphate, did not substitute for ATP in either delta psi generation or glutamate uptake. The results support the hypothesis that a H+-pumping ATPase generates a protonmotive force in the synaptic vesicles at the expense of ATP hydrolysis, and the protonmotive force thus formed provides a driving force for the vesicular glutamate uptake. The delta psi generation by ATP hydrolysis was not affected by orthovanadate, ouabain or oligomycin, but was inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide, quercetin, trimethyltin, 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole and 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid. These results indicate that the H+-pumping ATPase in the synaptic vesicle is similar to that in the chromaffin granule, platelet granule and lysosome.
