From the There has been considerable debate as to whether
adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is compartmentalized within cells and, in
particular, whether the ATP concentration directly beneath the plasma
membrane, experienced by membrane proteins, is the same as that of the
bulk cytoplasm. This issue has been difficult to address because there is no indicator of cytosolic ATP, such as those available for Ca2+, capable of resolving the submembrane ATP
concentration ([ATP]sm) in real time within a single
cell. We show here that mutant ATP-sensitive K+ channels
can be used to measure [ATP]sm by comparing the increase in current amplitude on patch excision with the ATP dose-response curve. In Xenopus oocytes, [ATP]sm was
4.6 ± 0.3 mM (n = 29) under resting
conditions, slightly higher than that measured for the bulk cytoplasm
(2.3 mM). In mammalian (COSm6) cells, [ATP]sm
was slightly lower and averaged 1.4 ± 0.1 mM
(n = 66). Metabolic poisoning (10 min of 3 mM azide) produced a significant fall in
[ATP]sm in both types of cells: to 1.2 ± 0.1 mM (n = 24) in oocytes and 0.8 ± 0.11 mM for COSm6 cells. We conclude that
[ATP]sm lies in the low millimolar range and that there
is no gradient between bulk cytosolic and submembrane
[ATP].
