H+-Translocating ATPase, which catalyzes ATP synthesis in biomembranes, is composed of a head piece (F1) and a membrane moiety (F0). Using highly-purified F0 from a thermophilic bacterium PS3 (TF0), the following results were obtained. 1. Inhibition by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) of H+ conduction through TF0 followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. The second-order rate constant for inhibitor-enzyme interaction was 5 times 10(3) M(-1)-min(-1). 2. H+ conductivity blocked by DCCD was proportional to the amount of DCCD incorporated in the band 8 protein of TF0. When only one-third of the band 8 protein was labeled with DCCD, TF0 hardly transported any H+. 3. By extracting TF0 with chloroform-methanol, the band 8 protein was obtained as a proteolipid. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with dodecyl sulfate and urea showed that the molecular weight was about 6,000. 4. The amino acid composition of band 8 protein indicated that this protein contained an extremely high percentage of hydrophobic amino acids (0.29 in polarity) and was devoid of histidine, tryptophan, cysteine, and lysine. Its minimum molecular weight was 6,500. 5. The role of band 8 protein (DCCD-binding protein) in H+ conduction through TF0 is discussed on the basis of these results.

Membranes of Escherichia coli contain an adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) energy-transducing system that is inhibited by treatment with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD). The carbodiimide-reactive protein component of this system has been identified after treatment with [14C]DCCD. This protein has an apparent molecular weight of 9,000 as judged from acrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate and is extracted from the membrane with chloroform-methanol (2:1). These properties are similar to the analogous protein previously identified in mitochondria (Cattell et al., 1971). A mutant strain, RF-7, has been isolated which derives energy from oxidative phosphorylation in the presence of 5 mM DCCD. The ATP hydrolase activity of the membraned system in the mutant was considerably less sensitive to inhibition by DCCD than that in the wild type. The carbodiimide-reactive protein, which was easily labeled by [14C]DCCD in the wild type, was labeled much less rapidly in the carbodiimide-resistant mutant. It is thus concluded that the reaction of DCCD with this specific protein leads to inhibition of the ATP energy-transducing reactions. The mutation causing carbodiimide resistance in strain RF-7 was mapped. It is cotransduced with the uncA gene at a frequency exceeding 90%. The mutationally altered protein causing the carbodiimide resistance was not conclusively identified. However, reconstitution experiments indicate that the altered protein is not one of the subunits of the soluble ATP hydrolase activity, which can be removed from the membrane by washing with 1 mM tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane buffer lacking Mg2+. The carbodiimide-reactive protein remains with the membrane residue after removal of the soluble ATP hydrolase and is thus distinct from these subunits as well.

1. Proteolipid was extracted from the electric organ of Narke japonica by using chloroform/methanol (2:1, v/v). This extract was separated into acetylcholine-binding and non-binding substances by column chromatography. However, acetylcholine-binding substances did not show the characteristic properties of protein. 2. The membrane fragments of the electric organ were separated into three main parts by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. From the heaviest, the fractions were acetylcholine receptor rich, ATPase rich, and acetylcholinesterase rich. 3. The membrane fraction having acetylcholine receptor showed the excitability, the increase of Na+ permeability by the application of cholinergic agonists. However, the acetylcholine binding substance extracted by the organic solvent was richer in the lighter fraction. This substance differed from the true acetylcholine receptor.

Treatment of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles with aqueous n-alcohols caused inhibition of calcium uptake and enhancement of ATPase activity. With increasing alcohol concentration, the ATPase activity reached a maximum (in the case of n-butanol, at about 350 mM) and then decreased. The effect of n-butanol was extensively studied. The purified ATPase enzyme and leaky vesicles treated with Triton X-100 or phospholipase A showed high ATPase activity in the absence of n-butanol. With increasing n-butanol concentration, their atpase activities began to decrease above about 250 mM n-butanol, without any enhancement. In the presence of ATP, the turnover rate of calcium after calcium accumulation had reached a steady level was the same as that at the initial uptake. n-Butanol did not affect these rates. Kinetic analyses of these experiments were carried out. The mechanisms of calcium transport and of increase of ATPase activity in the presence of alcohol were interpreted as follows. After calcium accumulation had reached a steady level, fast influx and efflux continued; the influx was coupled with phosphorylated enzyme (E-P) formation and most of the efflux was coupled with rephosphorylation of ATP from ADP and E-P. The observed ATPase activity is the difference between these two reactions. If alcohol molecules make the vesicles leaky, calcium ions will flow out without ATP synthesis and the apparent ATPase activity will increase. The effect of alcohols on sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles was separated into two actions. The enhancement of ATPase activity was attributed to a leakage of calcium ions from the vesicles, while the decrease of ATPase activity at higher concentrations of alcohols was attributed to denaturation of the ATPase enzyme itself. The two effects were interpreted in terms of equilibrium binding of alcohol molecules to two different sites of the vesicles; leakage and denaturation sites. Similar analysis was carried out for various n-alcohols from methanol to n-heptanol. The apparent free energies of binding of the methylene groups of n-alcohols were evaluated to be -863 cal/mol for the leakage site, and -732 cal/mol for the denaturation site.

A proteolipid isolated from yeast mitochondrial adenosinetriphosphatase (subunit 9) (ATP phosphohydrolase; EC 3.6.1.3) by chloroform/methanol extraction has been shown to discharge photo-induced potentials across a planar phospholipid membrane containing bacteriorhodopsin. Oligomycin, a specific inhibitor of oxidative phosphorylation which binds to this protein, allows the potential gradient to be reestablished. When proteolipid was isolated from an oligomycin-resistant strain, ionophoric activity was still obtained but the effect was not reversed by oligomycin. These studies suggest that the hydrophobic subunit-9 polypeptide is the ionophoric component linking ATP synthesis (hydrolysis) with proton translocation.

1. The synthesis of dibutylchloromethyltin chloride, a new covalent inhibitor of the mitochondrial ATP synthase [oligomycin-sensitive ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase)] complex is described, together with a method for preparing dibutylchloro[(3)H]methyltin chloride. 2. Studies with the yeast mitochondrial oligomycin-sensitive ATPase complex show that dibutylchloromethyltin chloride inhibits both the membrane-bound enzyme and also the purified Triton X-100-dispersed preparation. 3. F(1)-ATPase is not inhibited even at 500nmol of dibutylchloromethyltin chloride/mg of protein, and the general inhibitory properties are similar to those of triethyltin, oligomycin and dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide, known energy-transfer inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation. 4. Binding studies with yeast submitochondrial particles show that dibutylchloromethyltin chloride antagonizes the binding of triethyl[(113)Sn]tin, indicating that there is an interaction between the two inhibitor-binding sites. 5. Unlike triethyltin, inhibition by dibutylchloromethyltin chloride is due to a covalent interaction which titrates a component of the inner mitochondrial membrane present at a concentration of 8-9nmol/mg of protein. 6. All of the labelled component can be extracted with chloroform/methanol (2:1, v/v), and sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of the chloroform/methanol extract indicates that the labelled component has an apparent mol.wt. of 6000-8000. However, t.l.c. reveals the presence of only one labelled component which is lipophilic and non-protein and is distinct from the free inhibitor, mitochondrial phospholipids and the dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide-binding protein (subunit 9). 7. Inhibition of mitochondrial ATPase and oxidative phosphorylation is correlated with specific interaction with a non-protein lipophilic component of the mitochondrial inner membrane which is proposed to be a co-factor or intermediate of oxidative phosphorylation.

Hydrophobic agents, e.g. methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, acetone and dioxane were shown to induce irreversible inactivation of Na+, K+-adenosine triphosphatase beginning with their concentrations of 20 to 35%, whereas dimethyl sulphoxide exerted similar effect only at concentration of 50% and higher. Urea also irreversibly inactivated Na+, K+-adenosine triphosphatase, beginning with a concentration of about 20%. It was found that, dimethyl sulphoxide contrary to the other hydrophobic agents studied, protected Na+, K+-adenosine triphosphatase against the inactivating (denaturing) action of urea. The highest stabilizing effect of dimethyl sulphoxide was displayed at concentrations from 20 to 30%.

Incubation of mitochondria from Neurospora crassa and Saccharomyces cerevisiae with the radioactive ATPase inhibitor [14C]dicyclohexylcarbodiimide results in the irreversible and rather specific labelling of a low-molecular-weight polypeptide. This dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-binding protein is identical with the smallest subunit (Mr 8000) of the mitochondrial ATPase complex, and it occurs as oligomer, probably as hexamer, in the enzyme protein. The dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-binding protein is extracted from whole mitochondria with neutral chloroform/methanol both in the free and in the inhibitor-modified form. In Neurospora and yeast, this extraction is highly selective and the protein is obtained in homogeneous form when the mitochondria have been prewashed with certain organic solvents. The bound dicyclohexylcarbodiimide label is enriched in the purified protein up to 50-fold compared to whole mitochondria. Based on the amino acid analysis, the dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-binding protein from Neurospora and yeast consists of at least 81 and 76 residues, respectively. The content of hydrophobic residues is extremely high. Histidine and tryptophan are absent. The N-terminal amino acid is tyrosine in Neurospora and formylmethionine in yeast.

The effect of organic solvents on the beef heart mitochondrial ATP-base-catalyzed ATP and ITP hydrolysis was examined. It was observed that numerous organic solvents stimulated ATP hydrolysis while ITP hydrolysis was inhibited. Methanol at 20% (v/v) was found to stimulate ATP hydrolysis by over 300%, while at the same methanol concentration ITP hydrolysis was inhibited approximately 50%. In the presence of 20% methanol, ATP hydrolysis exhibited linear plots of 1/[ATP] vs. 1/v, while in the absence of methanol negative cooperativity was observed. These data can be interpreted to imply that the catalytic and regulatory sites of the mitochondrial ATPase are being dissociated 20% methanol. The effect of methanol on the hydrolysis of ATP and ITP was examined as a function of pH. It was found that, at high pH in totally aqueous solutions, the hydrolysis of ATP and ITP was inhibited, while the presence of 20% methanol either caused the hydrolytic rate to peak and remain constant above pH 8 (with ATP as substrate) or caused the rate of hydrolysis to continue to increase above pH 8 (when ITP was the substrate). These data are interpreted to indicate that an acidic group in the active site may be ionizing, limiting the ATPase-catalyzed hydrolytic rate, and, with 20% methanol, this ionization was inhibited.

The dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-binding protein of Aspergillus nidulans has been identified as the smallest subunit of the mitochondrial ATPase complex, and has a molecular weight of approximately 8000. It is extractable from whole mitochondria and from the purified enzyme in neutral chloroform/methanol, contains 30% polar amino acids, and the N-terminal amino acid has been identified as tyrosine. Using a double-labelling technique in the absence and presence of cycloheximide, followed by immunoprecipitation of the enzyme complex with antiserum against Neuospora crassa F1 ATPase, it has been shown that this subunit is synthesized on cytoplasmic ribosomes.
