Resumo

This investigation examines the kinetic characteristics and effect of acclimation to a brackish medium (21 parts per thousand S) on gill V(H+)-ATPase activity in two hololimnetic populations of M. amazonicum. We also investigate the cellular immunolocalization of the enzyme. Immunofluorescence findings demonstrate that the V(H+)-ATPase c-subunit is distributed in the apical pillar cells of shrimps in fresh water but is absent after acclimation to 21 parts per thousand S for 10 days. V(H+)-ATPase activity from the Tiete River population is approximate to 50% greater than the Grande River population, comparable to a wild population from the Santa Elisa Reservoir, but is 2-fold less than in cultivated shrimps. V (H+)-ATPase activity in the Tiete and the Grande River shrimps is abolished after 21 parts per thousand S acclimation. The apparent affinities of the V(H+)-ATPase for ATP (0.27 +/- 0.04 and 0.16 +/- 0.03 mmol L-1, respectively) and Mg2+ (0.28 +/- 0.05 and 0.14 +/- 0.02 mmol L-1, respectively) are similar in both populations. The absence of V(H+)-ATPase activity in salinity-acclimated shrimps and its apical distribution in shrimps in fresh water underpins the importance of the crustacean V(H+)-ATPase for ion uptake in fresh water.
