Addition of the synthetic chemotactic factor, formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylala-nine (F-Met-Leu-Phe) to medium containing magnesium, sodium, and potassium results in a doubling of the "Na+, K+"-ATPase activity of the plasma membrane fraction from polymophonuclear leukocytes (PMN). This activation is sensitive to ouabain inhibition and is dose dependent, maximal activity occuring at 10(-9)MF-Met-Leu-Phe. Equivalent activation was observed with the nonformylated derivative Met-Leu-Phe at 10(-9)M. The dipeptide, carbobenzoxy-methionylphenylalanine, which acts as an antagonist for F-Met-Leu-Phe, prevents the stimulation of the "Na+, K+"-ATPase by F-Met-Leu-Phe.

The mitochondrial F1-ATPase is irreversibly inactivated by the adenine nucleotide analogue, p-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl-5'-adenosine. This inactivation is partly prevented by the presence of bound adenine nucleotides. Inactivations of the ATPase with p-fluorosulfonyl[14C]benzoyl-5'-adenosine were most efficiently accomplished with the nucleotide-free enzyme at pH 7.0, in a buffer containing 20% glycerol. Under these conditions, 4.2 g atoms of 14C are incorporated per 350,000 g of enzyme when the ATPase is inactivated by 90% by its reaction with 2 mM p-fluorosulfonyl[14C]benzoyl-5'-adenosine. Isolation of the component polypeptide chains of the labeled ATPase showed that all of the radioactivity was associated with the two largest subunits. The isolated alpha subunit contained 0.45 g atom of 14C/mol and the isolated beta subunit contained 0.88 g atom of 14C/mol. Hence, the inactivation can be correlated with the incorporation of 14C into the beta subunit. This suggests that the hydrolytic site of the enzyme resides on this subunit. The majority of the radioactivity in a tryptic digest of labeled beta subunit is contained ina tryptic peptide that has the following amino acid sequence: Ile-Met-Asp-Pro-Asn-Ile-Val-Gly-Ser-Glu-His-Tyr-Asp-Val-Ala-Arg, where Tyr is the radioactive derivative of the tyrosine residue that was sulfonylated during the inactivation.

The molecular biological approach has provided important information toward understanding the complexities of the F0F1 ATPase. This article focuses on our recent results on the ATPase catalytic site contained in the beta subunit and the role of the gamma subunit in regulation of proton transport. We used a combination of affinity labeling and mutagenesis to locate several residues of the alpha and beta subunits in the catalytic site. Adenosine triphosphopyridoxal (AP3-PL) labeled beta Lys-155, beta Lys-201 and alpha Lys-201, suggesting that they are near the gamma-phosphate moiety of ATP. Turning to a mutagenesis approach we demonstrated that the two conserved residues, beta Lys-155 and beta Thr-156 in the glycine-rich sequence, are essential for catalysis. Finally, using pseudorevertant analysis, we positioned residue beta Gly-149 (also in the glycine-rich sequence) in proximity to beta Ser-174, beta Glu-192 (binding site for DCCD), and beta Val-198 (only three residues away from the AP3-PL binding site, beta Lys-201). Genetic studies suggested that the gamma subunit plays a role in regulation of catalysis and its coupling with proton conduction. We found that four mutations in the carboxyl-terminal region (gamma Gln-269-->Leu, gamma Gly-275-->Lys, gamma Thr-277-->end, or frameshift) had similar membrane ATPase activities but different ATP-dependent proton pumping and growth by oxidative phosphorylation. These results suggested a perturbation in the coupling between catalysis and proton translocation. We were able to clearly define the "uncoupling" by introducing mutations in the amino-terminal region of the gamma subunit. We were led to gamma Met-23-->Lys and Arg which resulted in an enzyme still regulated by delta microH+, but with profoundly inefficient coupling between ATPase catalytic sites and proton translocation in both ATP-dependent proton pumping and delta microH(+)-driven ATP synthesis. Second-site mutations in the carboxyl-terminal region of the gamma subunit reversed this effect.

The sodium pump or Na,K-ATPase, maintains the Na+ and K+ gradients across eukaryotic cell membranes at the expense of ATP. Incubation of purified canine renal Na,K-ATPase with 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (SITS) inhibited the ATPase activity. Both the labeling of the protein and the loss of ATPase activity were prevented by co-incubation with ADP (acting as an ATP analog) or KCl. Only the alpha-subunit was labeled by SITS. The alpha-subunit from the inhibited enzyme was extensively digested with trypsin, and SITS-labeled peptides were purified by reverse-phase HPLC and sequenced. The amino acid sequence determined, His-Leu-Leu-Val-Met-X-Gly-Ala-Pro-Glu, indicated that SITS modifies Lys-501 (X) on the alpha-subunit of Na,K-ATPase.

We have examined the role of the acidic residues Asp2 and Glu4 at the NH2 terminus of Saccharomyces cerevisiae actin through site-directed mutagenesis. In DNEQ actin, these residues have been changed to Asn2 and Gln4, whereas in delta DSE actin, the Asp2-Ser-Glu tripeptide has been deleted. Both mutant actins can replace wild type yeast actin. Peptide mapping studies reveal that DNEQ, like wild type actin, retains the initiator Met and is NH2 terminally acetylated, whereas delta DSE has a free NH2 terminus and has lost the initiator Met. Interestingly, microscopic examination of filaments of these two actins reveal the appearance of bundled filaments. The DNEQ bundles are smaller and more ordered, whereas the delta DSE bundles are larger and more loosely organized. Additionally, both mutant actins activate the ATPase activity of rabbit muscle myosin S1 fragment to a lesser extent than wild type. We have also developed a sensitive assay for actin function in vivo that enabled us to detect a slight defect in the ability of these mutant actins to support secretion, an important function in yeast. Thus, although the mutant actins resulted in no gross phenotypic changes, we were able to detect a defect in actin function through this assay. From these studies we can conclude that 1) although NH2-terminal negative charges are not essential to yeast life, the loss of such charges does result in a slight defect in the actins' ability to support secretion, 2) removal of the NH2-terminal negative charges promotes the bundling of actin filaments, and 3) actins lacking NH2-terminal negative charges are unable to activate the myosin S1 ATPase activity as well as wild type actin.

We introduced mutations to test the function of the conserved amino-terminal region of the gamma subunit from the Escherichia coli ATP synthase (F0F1-ATPase). Plasmid-borne mutant genes were expressed in an uncG strain which is deficient for the gamma subunit (gamma Gln-14-->end). Most of the changes, which were between gamma Ile-19 and gamma Lys-33, gamma Asp-83 and gamma Cys-87, or at gamma Asp-165, had little effect on growth by oxidative phosphorylation, membrane ATPase activity, or H+ pumping. Notable exceptions were gamma Met-23-->Arg or Lys mutations. Strains carrying these mutations grew only very slowly by oxidative phosphorylation. Membranes prepared from the strains had substantial levels of ATPase activity, 100% compared with wild type for gamma Arg-23 and 65% for gamma Lys-23, but formed only 32 and 17%, respectively, of the electrochemical gradient of protons. In contrast, other mutant enzymes with similar ATPase activities (including gamma Met-23-->Asp or Glu) formed H+ gradients like the wild type. Membranes from the gamma Arg-23 and gamma Lys-23 mutants were not passively leaky to protons and had functional F0 sectors. These results suggested that substitution by positively charged side chains at position 23 perturbed the energy coupling. The catalytic sites of the mutant enzymes were still regulated by the electrochemical H+ gradient but were inefficiently coupled to H+ translocation in both ATP-dependent H+ pumping and delta mu H+ driven ATP synthesis.

Skeletal muscle actin was lightly digested by proteinase K, which cleaved the peptide bond between Met-47 and Gly-48, producing a C-terminal 35 kDa fragment. Proteinase K-cleaved actin (proK-actin) did not polymerize into F-actin upon addition of salt. In the presence of phalloidin, however, it polymerized slowly into F-actin (proK-F-actin), indicating that the cleaved actin did not dissociate into the individual cleaved fragments but retained the global structure of actin. Electron microscopy showed that proK-F-actin had the typical double-stranded structure of a normal actin filament and formed the arrowhead structure when decorated with HMM. Heavy meromyosin ATPase was weakly activated by proK-F-actin: Vmax = 0.24 s-1, and Kapp = 2.8 microM, while Vmax = 7.6 s-1, and Kapp = 13 microM by F-actin. Correspondingly, in vitro this proK-F-actin slid very slowly on HMM attached to a glass surface at an average velocity of 0.47 microns/s, or 1/12 of that of intact F-actin. The fraction of sliding filaments was less than 50%. Assuming that the nonmotile filaments attached to HMM were not involved in ATPase activation, the sliding velocity correlated with the ATPase activity activated by proK-F-actin.

Ca2+ binding to fast skeletal muscle troponin C reincorporated into troponin C-depleted (CDTA-treated) myofibrils has been measured directly by using 45Ca and indirectly by using a fluorescent probe. Direct Ca2(+)-binding measurements have shown that the Ca2+ affinity of the low-affinity sites is enhanced in the absence of ATP and conversely reduced when myosin is selectively extracted from myofibrils, compared to the Ca2+ affinity in the presence of ATP. Fluorescence intensity changes of a dansylaziridine label at the Met-25 residue of troponin C have shown the same Ca2(+)-sensitivity whether or not ATP is present, while much lower Ca2(+)-sensitivity is seen in the myosin-extracted myofibrils. Since the Met-25 residue is in the amino terminal side alpha-helix of Ca2(+)-binding site I and far from Ca2(+)-binding site II in the primary structure, Ca2+ binding to site II has been evaluated by assuming that the fluorescence change monitors Ca2+ binding to site I alone. Ca2+ binding to site II thus estimated has shown high positive cooperativity only in the presence of ATP and has been found to be nearly proportional to the activation of myofibrillar ATPase, suggesting that Ca2(+)-binding site II is directly involved in the activation of myofibrillar ATPase activity. On the other hand, Ca2(+)-binding site I has been suggested to regulate the interaction of weakly binding cross-bridges with the thin filament, since the fluorescence change in the presence of ATP is saturated at the free Ca2+ concentration required for the activation of myofibrillar ATPase.

The rat gastric H+,K(+)-ATPase alpha subunit gene was cloned and the nucleotide sequence of its 5'-upstream region was determined. Sequence comparison with the corresponding part of the human gene indicated the presence of highly conserved regions which may be important for specific transcription of the alpha subunit in gastric parietal cells. The amino-terminal sequence (Met-Gly-Lys-Ala-Glu-) of the rat enzyme was similar to those of the pig and human enzymes. The gene organization of the rat enzyme was also similar to that of the human gene: introns 1, 2 and 9 were located in exactly the same positions as those in the human gene, and, as in the latter, exon 6 was not separated by an intron. The sequences of introns 1 and 2 were highly conserved among the rat, human and pig genes, but were entirely different from those of Na+,K(+)-ATPase catalytic subunit genes. Northern blot hybridization indicated that the gene was transcribed only in gastric mucosa.

Point mutations of Asp-376 of the alpha-subunit of Torpedo californica Na+/K(+)-ATPase (the site of phosphorylation during the catalytic cycle) to Asn, Glu or Thr led to virtual abolishment of Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity and ouabain-binding capacity. Replacement of Lys-507 of the same subunit (the putative ATP-binding site) by Met resulted in decreases in Na+/K(+)-ATPase activity and ouabain-binding capacity. These results are in agreement with those reported for rabbit sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2(+)-ATPase (Maruyama, K. and MacLennan, D.H. (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85, 3314-3318).
