The portion of Escherichia coli adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) which is peripheral to the membrane (ECFl) is composed of five separate polypeptides referred to as alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon. Treating purified ECFl with pyridine precipitated the three larger polypeptides (alpha, beta, and gamma), but the two smaller ones (delta and epsilon), which represent only about 10% of ECFl, remained in solution. After removing the pyridine, both delta and epsilon were active and both were obtained in essentially pure form after chromatography on a single molecular-seive column. epsilon strongly inhibited the ATPase activity of ECFl, indicating that epsilon has a regulatory role in the enzyme. epsilon inhibited ECFl missing delta, indicating that delta is not required for inhibition by epsilon. However, enzyme containing just the alpha and beta subunits, which was prepared by treating ECFl with a protease, was fully active hydrolytically but not at all sensitive to inhibition by epsilon. This result suggests that the gamma polypeptide is required for the inhibition of the ATPase by epsilon. delta restored the capacity of ECFl missing delta to recombine with ECFl-depleted membrane vesicles. The ECFl, which became attached to the vesicles by the added delta, was functional in energy transduction, as evidenced by the coupling of ATP hydrolysis to the transhydrogenase reaction in the vesicles. The rebinding of ECFl missing delta was directly proportional to the amount of delta added until all the ECFl receptors in the membranes were occupied. delta may be a stalk which connects the Fl headpiece to the membrane, since the attachment of ECFl to the membrane exhibited an absolute dependence on delta. Although delta is known to have an apparent molecular weight of about 20,000 by gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate, the active delta eluted from a molecular-seive column with an apparent molecular weight of about 35,000, suggesting that in the active form delta is a dimer or rather elongated in shape. The active epsilon subunit eluted from the same column with an apparent molecular weight of about 16,000.

The adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP)-linked transhydrogenase reaction, present in the particulate fractions of Escherichia coli, was previously shown to be inhibited in these fractions when the bacteria were treated with colicins K or El. The purpose of this study was to characterized the ATP-linked transhydrogenase reaction and the colicin-caused inhibition of the reaction in purified cytoplasmic membranes. Particulate fractions from bacteria treated or untreated with colicins were separated on sucrose gradients into cell wall membrane and cytoplasmic membrane fractions. The ATP-linked transhydrogenase reaction was found to be exclusively associated with the cytoplasmic membrane fractions. The reaction was inhibited by carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenlhdrazone, dinitrophenol, N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, and trypsin. Although the cytoplasmic membrane fractions were purified from the majoriy of the cell wall membrane and its bound colicins, they showed the inhibitory effects of colicins K and El on the ATP-linked transhydrogenase reaction. The inhibition of ATP-linked transhydrogenase reaction induced by the colicin could not be reversed by subjection the isolated membranes to a variety of physical and chemical treatments. Cytoplasmic membranes depleted of energy-transducing adenosine triphosphatase ATPase) complex (coupling factor) lost the ATP-linked transhydrogenase activity. The ATPase complexes isolated from membranes of bacteria treated or untreated with colicins El or K reconstituted high levels of ATP-linded transhydrogenase activity to depleted membranes of untreated bacteria. The same ATPase complexes reconstituted low levels of activity to depleted membranes of the treated bacteria.

A plasmid was isolated which included the region of the Escherichia coli chromosome carrying the known genes concerned with oxidative phosphorylation (unc genes). This plasmid was used to prepare partial diploids carrying normal unc alleles on the episome and one of the three mutant alleles (unc A401, uncB402 or unc-405) on the chromosome. These strains were compared with segregants from which the plasmid had been lost. Dominance of either normal ormutant unc alleles was determined by growth on succinate, growth yields on glucose, Mg-ATPase (Mg2+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase) activity, atebrin-fluorescence quenching, ATP-dependent transhydrogenase activity and oxidative phosphorylation. In all the above tests, dominance of the normal allele was observed. However, in membranes from the diploid strains which carried a normal allele and either of the mutant alleles affecting Mg-ATPase activity (uncA401 or unc-405), the energy-linked functions were only partially restored.

A new mutant strain of Escherichia coli in which phosphorylation is uncoupled from electron transport was isolated. The new mutant strain has a similar phenotype to the uncB mutant described previously; results from reconstitution experiments in vitro indicate that the new mutation also affects a component of the F0 portion of the Mg2+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase. A method was developed to incorporate mutant unc alleles into plasmids. Partial diploid strains were prepared in which the uncB402 allele was incorporated into the plasmid and the new unc mutation into the chromosome, or vice versa. Complementation between the mutant unc alleles was indicated by growth on succinate, growth yields on glucose, ATP-dependent transhydrogenase activities, ATP-induced atebrin-fluorescence quenching and oxidative-phosphorylation measurements. The gene in which the new mutation occurs is therefore distinct from the uncB gene, and the mutant allele was designated uncC424.

1. DL-8-Methyldihydrolipoate was shown to be a potent inhibitor of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and ATP-driven energy-linked reactions. 2. ADP-stimulated respiration utilizing pyruvate + malate and succinate in both ox heart and rat liver mitochondria is inhibited; oxidative phosphorylation using pyruvate + malate, succinate and ascorbate + NNN'N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine as substrates is also inhibited; uncoupler-stimulated respiration is unaffected regardless of the substrate used. 3. Mitochondrial oligomycin-sensitive adenosine triphosphatase is inhibited in both the membrane-bound form and the purified detergent-dispersed preparation. 4. ATP-driven transhydrogenase and the ATP-driven energy-linked reduction of NAD+ by succinate in ox heart submitochondrial particles are inhibited, whereas the respiratory-chain-driven transhydrogenase is unaffected. 5. DL-8-Methyl-lipoate has no immediate effect on the above reactions, demonstrating the requirement for the reduced form for inhibition. 6. The inhibitory properties of DL-8-methyldihydrolipoate are analogous to those of oligomycin and provide further evidence of a role for lipoic acid in oxidative phosphorylation.

Cytoplasmic membranes of Escherichia coli K12 C600 treated and not treated with colicin K were dissociated into unsolubilized and solubilized fractions. Neither fraction catalyzed ATP-linked transhydrogenase activity. Mixtures of unsolubilized fractions of the untreated bacteria with solubilized fractions of either the treated or untreated bacteria yielded reconstituted membranes with restored ATP-linked transhydrogenase activity. The level of the activity was similar to that of the undissociated membranes of untreated bacteria. The membranes which were reconstituted from unsolubilized fractions of the treated bacteria and the solubilized fraction of the treated or the untreated bacteria showed impairment of activity. The impairment is not due to an inability to bind ATPase of the soluble fraction or to an incorrect binding of the ATPase. The impaired, reconstituted membranes showed striking decreases in the relative amounts of three proteins with apparent molecular weights of 122,000, 73,000, and 62,000. The affected proteins were found to be components of the unsolubilized membrane fraction. It is, thus, concluded that the impaired activity is due to the defective nature of the unsolubilized membrane fraction of colicin-treated cells.

1. Citreoviridin was a potent inhibitor of the soluble mitochondrial ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) similar to the closely related aurovertins B and D. 2. Citreoviridin inhibited the following mitochondrial energy-linked reactions also: ADP-stimulated respiration in whole mitochondria from ox heart and rat liver; ATP-driven reduction of NAD+ by succinate; ATP-driven NAD transhydrogenase and ATPase from ox heart submitochondrial particles. 3. The dissociation constant (KD) calculated by a simple law-of-mass-action treatment for the citreoviridin--ATPase complex was 0.5--4.2micron for ox-heart mitochondrial preparations and 0.15micron for rat liver mitochondria. 4. Monoacetylation of citreoviridin decreased its inhibitory potency (KD=2--25micron, ox heart; KD=0.7micron, rat liver). Diacetylation greatly decreased the inhibitory potency (KD=60--215micron, ox heart). 5. Hydrogenation of citreoviridin monoacetate diminished its inhibitory potency considerably. 6. No significant enhancement of fluorescence was observed when citreoviridin interacted with the mitochondrial ATPase.

A new mutant strain of Escherichia coli in which phosphorylation is uncoupled from electron transport was isolated. A genetic-complementation analysis, using partial diploid strains, showed that the new mutant allele, uncD409, is in a gene distinct from the other previously identified genes uncA, uncB and uncC. A strain carrying the uncd409 allele has no Mg2+ ion-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase activity and is therefore phenotypically similar to strains carrying the uncA401 mutant allele. Complementation between the uncA401 and the uncD409 alleles occurred, as indicated by growth of partial diploid strains on succinate and their growth yields on limiting concentrations of glucose. Complementation was confirmed by using membranes prepared from the above partial diploids. Such membranes were found to have Mg2+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase activity, ATP-dependent transhydrogenase activity ADP-induced atebrin-fluorescence quenching and low but significant amounts of oxidative phosphorylation.

Mutant strains of Escherichia coli were isolated in which mutator (Mu) phage was inserted into various unc genes. Partial diploid strains were prepared from each of the Mu-induced unc mutants by using F-plasmids carrying mutations in one of the known unc genes (uncA, uncB, uncC, or uncD). The partial diploid strains and the corresponding segregant strains were examined for their ability to grow on succinate. The aerobic growth yields on limiting concentrations of glucose were also determined. Magnesium-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase activities, ATP-dependent transhydrogenase activities, and Atebrin fluorescence quenching activities were determined by using membrane preparations from each strain. Genetic complementation was assessed from the results obtained, and it was concluded that the four unc genes examined are part of a single transcriptional unit and that they are transcribed in the order uncBADC.

A20668 A, B, and C are polypeptide antibiotics that inhibit phosphorylation of ADP, Mg2t-ATPase, and the ATP-driven transhydrogenase of rat liver submitochondrial particles, but not the purified F1 ATPase. In intact mitochondria, 120668 inhibits uncoupler-induced ATPase, State 3 respiration, and phosphorylation; the A and B forms are approximately equipotent with rutamycin, whereas A20668 C is less effective. Concentrations of A20668 slightly greater than required for complete inhibition of phosphoryl transfer stimulate rapid, uncoupled respiration by mitochondria under State 3 of 4 conditions. A20668 A and B are more effective uncouplers than A20668 C. In the presence of venturicidin or ossamycin, concentrations of A20668, which alone do not uncouple, stimulate oxygen consumption of mitochondria incubated under either State 3 of 4 conditions. A20668 uncoupling is not potentiated by prior inhibition of phosphoryl transfer by venturicidin X, rutamycin, aurovertin, or efrapeptin. A20668 increases mitochondrial permeability to protons in passive swelling experiments where facilitation of proton conductance correlates well with potency to uncouple. A20668 apparently binds initially at a unique locus to inhibit mitochondrial phosphoryl transfer reactions. When this site is saturated, additional antibiotic may uncouple by increasing proton conductance of mitochondria. Binding of venturicidin or ossamycin appears to interfere with the binding of A20668 to its adjacent inhibitory site, thus effectively increasing the concentration of A20668 available to uncouple.
