We have studied the relation between Ca$^{2+}$-ATPase and trigger peptidase(TPase) which are membeane protein well known as their significant role for signal transduction of mating pheromone in heterobasidiomycetous yeast. Rhodosporidium toruloides. We found out that there were Ca $^{2+}$-ATPase and TPase together in isolated calmodulim binding protein(CBP), usion calmodulin affinity column chromatography after solubilization of mation type a cell membrane protein, and that the dependence of enzyme activity of both the enzymes on Ca$^{2+}$, phospholipid and nonionic detergent are similar. However, Ca$^{2+}$-ATPase hed quite absolute dependence on calmodulin and, on the other hand, TPase didn't have any dependence. Judging from the fact that there are both enzymes in CBP which the dependence of calmodulin are quite different, we found out that both enzymes were made to their compound and existed in mating type a cell membrane.

The internal invertase of Rhodosporidium toruloids mating type a cells was purified to a single band on SDS-PAGE from cell-free extract by acid precipitation, ion exchange chromatogaphy andgel filtration. The determined molecular weight of he purified enzyme was about 95,000 by gel filtration and 100,000 daltons on SDS-polyacryamide gel electrophoresis. This enzyme didn't show any activity change by several metal ions except 15.4% decrease by {TEX}$Mn^{2+}${/TEX} and was strongly inhibited by 2-mercaptoethanol and SDS. The invertase maintained its activity at high level until 70℃, but inactivated at 80℃ almost completely. The optimal temperature and pH of the enzyme were about 60℃ and pH 5.0, respectively. The stable pH range of invertase was narrow from pH 3.0 to 6.0. The Km value and isoelectric point of enzyme were 3.4×{TEX}$10^{3}${/TEX} M, pH 4.4, respectively.
