Peptides generated from enzymatic hydrolysis of chicken enolase and the alpha- and beta-subunits of bovine F1-ATPase were analyzed by mass spectrometry to determine the nature of their modified N-termini. In the case of chicken enolase, a peptide was isolated from a Staphylococcus aureus proteinase digest by HPLC and analyzed directly by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FABMS). In conjunction with mass spectral evidence obtained from the methyl ester derivative and a secondary tryptic peptide, a structure is proposed containing an N-acetyl serine at the N-terminus. The alpha-subunit of bovine mitochondrial ATPase was chromatographed by HPLC after S. aureus proteinase digestion and a single peak was analyzed on the basis of predicted retention times. A Mr 716 was determined by FABMS and pyrrolidone carboxylic acid was deduced on the basis of its amino acid composition and partial Edman sequence data. The beta-subunit of ATPase produced a series of closely eluting peaks on HPLC after limited digestion with trypsin of the alpha 2 beta 2 complex. These peptides were analyzed by both Edman degradation and FABMS. These data showed the N-terminus to be frayed with N-terminal sequences beginning in pyro-Glu-Ala-Ser, Gln-Ala-Ser, Glu-Ala-Ser, Ala-Ser, and Ser but with no N-acetyl-Ser as was previously thought.

The complement fixing antigen of the inner mitochondrial membrane previously shown to be associated with the mitochondrial ATPase could be further purified by subjecting the ATPase extracted from beef heart and brown fat mitochondria to ion exchange and gel filtration chromatography. Although the ATPase activity could be clearly dissociated from the complement fixing activity, subunits of the F1-ATPase complex were always found in the purified fractions. The alpha, gamma, delta and epsilon subunits of the complex could be excluded with high probability as target antigens in contrast to the beta band which was always found in association with the antigen activity. These findings imply that the active centre of the ATPase enzyme is not involved in the antibody reaction but molecules of the ATPase complex may have antigen binding capacity. Treatment of ATPase associated antigen with trypsin did not markedly affect the complement binding, while SMP's treated in the same way lost their antigen activity indicating that sera from patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) may have mitochondrial antibodies of different specificities reacting with trypsin sensitive as well as trypsin insensitive components of the inner membrane. The purified antigen reacted exclusively with sera from patients with PBC and may be therefore used as a marker antigen.

Soluble beef-heart mitochondrial F1-ATPase modified in its alpha-subunit by mild trypsin treatment (alpha'-F1) can no longer bind oligomycin-sensitivity conferring protein (OSCP) but is still capable of binding to F1-depleted submitochondrial particles, giving rise to a maximally oligomycin-sensitive ATPase, provided the particles contain their native complement of OSCP. When OSCP is removed from the particles, alpha'-F1 can still bind to the particles, but added OSCP induces only a low degree of oligomycin sensitivity. The possible role of OSCP in the functional coupling of the catalytic (F1) and H+-translocating (Fo) moieties of mitochondrial ATPase is discussed. The results suggest a functional similarity between the OSCP component of mitochondrial ATPase and the delta-subunit of E. coli ATPase, which is in accordance with the structural homology recently found to exist between the two polypeptides.

The beta-subunit of mitochondrial ATPase is coded by a nuclear gene, synthesized outside the mitochondria as a larger precursor and imported into mitochondria. The beta-subunit precursor was purified from yeast, both as a homogeneous, unlabeled polypeptide and in radiochemically pure form. Both precursor preparations were cleaved to the mature beta-subunit by partially purified processing protease from the mitochondrial matrix. However, import of the radiochemically pure precursor into isolated yeast mitochondria required a cytosolic fraction from yeast or reticulocytes. The cytosolic factor was non-dialyzable and trypsin-sensitive; its apparent mol. wt. was approximately 40 000 as judged by gel filtration. Import of some proteins into mitochondria thus requires proteins of the 'soluble' cytoplasm.

The binding of "oligomycin sensitivity conferring protein" (OSCP) to soluble beef-heart mitochondrial ATPase (F1) has been investigated. OSCP forms a stable complex with F1, and the F1 X OSCP complex is capable of restoring oligomycin- and DCCD-sensitive ATPase activity to F1- and OSCP-depleted submitochondrial particles. The F1 X OSCP complex retains 50% of its ATPase activity upon cold exposure while free F1 is inactivated by 90% or more. Both free F1 and the F1 X OSCP complex release upon cold exposure a part--probably 1 out of 3--of their beta subunits; whether alpha subunits are also lost is uncertain. The cold-treated F1 X OSCP complex is still capable of restoring oligomycin- and DCCD-sensitive ATPase activity to F1- and OSCP-depleted particles. OSCP also protects F1 against modification of its alpha subunit by mild trypsin treatment. This finding together with the earlier demonstration that trypsin-modified F1 cannot bind OSCP indicates that OSCP binds to the alpha subunit of F1 and that F1 contains three binding sites for OSCP. The results are discussed in relation to the possible role of OSCP in the interaction of F1 with the membrane sector of the mitochondrial ATPase system.

The yeast nuclear mutant, pet 936, has previously been shown to be defective in the assembly of a functional mitochondrial ATPase (Todd, R. D., McAda, P. C., and Douglas, M. G. (1979) J. Biol. Chem. 254, 11134-11141). In the present report, trypsin degradation and subunit-specific antibody binding have been used to localize subunits 1, 2, and 3 external to or associated with the outer aspect of the inner mitochondrial membrane in the mutant strain. A similar population of unassembled subunits was found in the parental strain as well. Isotope dilution experiments are compatible with those unassembled subunits being normal intermediates in the assembly pathway of the ATPase complex which are blocked from transport across the inner mitochondrial membrane in the mutant, pet 936.

The hydrophobic sector of the mitochondrial ATPase complex was purified by sequential extraction with cholate and octylglucoside, by further differential solubilization with guanidine and cholate in the presence of phosphatidylcholine, and by fractionation with ammonium sulfate. A polypeptide with a mass of 28,000 dalton was present in the purified hydrophobic section which was cleaved by trypsin, resulting in loss of reconstitution activity. In contrast, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-binding proteolipid remained unimpaired after exposure to trypsin. The 32Pi-ATP exchange activity of the reconstituted ATPase complex was inhibited by p-hydroxymercuribenzoate, which reacted primarily with the 28,000-dalton protein, as monitored by acrylamide gel electrophoresis with 14C-labeled inhibitor. The function of a 22,000-dalton polypeptide and of some minor components in the region of the proteolipid remains unknown. An examination of the phospholipid requirements for reconstitution of an active complex revealed an unexpected discrepancy. With an excess of phosphatidylethanolamine, optimal reconstitution of 32Pi-ATP exchange and ATP synthesis in the presence of bacteriorhodopsin and light was achieved: at a high phosphatidylcholine:phosphatidylethanolamine ratio, the rate of ATP synthesis remained high, but the rate of 32Pi-ATP exchange dropped precipitously. A new procedure is described for the reconstitution of the ATPase complex with purified phospholipids which is stable for at least 15 days.

An oligomycin-resistant variant of human fibrosarcoma HT1080 was isolated and characterized as nuclear and codominant. The mutant was stable, was not cross-resistant to respiratory inhibitors, and it contained a mitochondrial ATPase which was less sensitive to oligomycin. Hybrids formed between the human mutant and a mouse cell line expressed the resistance phenotype. By a detailed karyotypic analysis of these hybrids using trypsin-Giemsa banding it was found that resistance to oligomycin correlated with the retention of two human chromosomes 10. The hybrid lines contained only mouse mitochondrial DNA as shown by analyses of mitochondrially synthesized proteins and mitochondrial DNA. The study assigns an ATPase oligomycin-resistance locus to human chromosome 10 and suggests that mouse and human subunits can combine in a functional enzyme complex.

Submitochondrial particles freshly prepared by sonication from pea cotyledon mitochondria showed low ATPase activity. Activity increased 20-fold on exposure to trypsin. The pea cotyledon submitochondrial particle ATPase was also activated by "aging" in vitro. At pH 7.0 addition of 1 millimolar ATP prevented the activation. ATPase of freshly prepared pea cotyledon submitochondrial particles had a substrate specificity similar to that of the soluble ATPase from pea cotyledon mitochondria, with GTPase > ATPase. "Aged" or trypsin-treated particles showed equal activity with the two substrates. NaCl and NaHCO(3), which stimulate the ATPase but not the GTPase activity of the soluble pea enzyme, were stimulatory to both the ATPase and GTPase activities of freshly prepared submitochondrial particles. However, they were stimulatory only to the ATPase activity of trypsin-treated or "aged" submitochondrial particles. In contrast, the ATPase activity of rat liver submitochondrial particles was stimulated by HCO(3) (-), but inhibited by Cl(-), indicating that Cl(-) stimulation is a distinguishing property of the pea mitochondrial ATPase complex.
