The effects of sulfite, bicarbonate, thiocyanate, methanol, ethanol, glycerol, dimethy sulfoxide and ADP on the ATPase activity of the coupling factor from liver mitochondria (F1) and pea chloroplasts (CF1) and of the anion-sensitive ATPase from rat erythrocytes were investigated. Under steady-state conditions of ATP hydrolysis catalyzed by F1, CF1, and erythrocyte ATPase, three Km values for each of the enzymes, three activation constants for sulfite and three inhibition constants for thiocyanate were determined. The efficiency and direction of the effects of anions, alcohols and ADP strongly depend on temperature and substrate (Mg-ATP) concentration. The mechanisms of modification by anions and alcohols of the ATPase activities are discussed.

Activation of the latent ATPase of soluble CF1 by methanol is shown to involve several distinct effects. CaATPase activity of whole, but not epsilon-deficient or heat-activated CF1, is stimulated by methanol. This suggests that one effect of methanol is to overcome inhibition by the epsilon subunit. In contrast, the MgATPase activities of both whole and epsilon-deficient CF1 are further stimulated by methanol. This second activating effect can be traced in part to a greatly increased affinity of CF1, due to methanol, for those anions which reverse the inhibitory effect of Mg2+. Since the inhibition by free Ca2+ is much less severe than that caused by Mg2+, anions have relatively little effect on CaATPase. Thus methanol has little or no effect when Ca2+ is the divalent cation, but stimulates the reaction when Mg2+ is used. Methanol also stimulates the MgATPase activity of epsilon-deficient CF1 in the complete absence of activating anions. This additional effect is shown to arise from an increase in the Vmax rather than from changes in either the Km for MgATP or the Ki for free Mg2+. Since this change in Vmax occurs with the MgATPase but not the CaATPase, it can be inferred that different steps are rate-limiting in the two activities.

Cyanobacterial (Spirulina platensis) photosynthetic membranes and isolated F1 ATPase were characterized with respect to ATP activity. The following results indicate that the regulation of expression of ATPase activity in Spirulina platensis is similar to that found in chloroplasts: the ATPase activity of Spirulina membranes and isolated F1 ATPase is mostly latent, a characteristic of chloroplast ATPase activity; treatments that elicit ATPase activity in higher plant chloroplast thylakoids and isolated chloroplast coupling factor (CF1) greatly stimulate the activity of Spirulina membranes and F1, and the cation specificity of chloroplast ATPase activity, e. g., light-induced membrane activity that is magnesium dependent and trypsin-activated CF1 activity that is calcium dependent, is also observed in Spirulina. Thus, an 8- to 15-fold increase in specific activity (to 13-15 mumol Pi min-1 mg chl-1) is obtained when Spirulina membranes are treated with trypsin (CaATPase) or with methanol (MgATPase): a light-induced, dithiothreitol-dependent MgATPase activity is also found in the membranes. Purified Spirulina F1 is a CaATPase when activated with trypsin (endogenous activity increases from 4 to 27-37 mumol Pi min-1 mg protein-1) or with dithiothreitol (5.6 mumol Pi min-1 mg-1), but a MgATPase when assayed with methanol (18-20 mumol Pi min-1 mg-1). The effects of varying calcium and ATP concentrations on the kinetics of trypsin-induced CaATPase activity of Spirulina F1 were examined. When the calcium concentration is varied at constant ATP concentration, the velocity plot shows a marked sigmoidicity. By varying Ca-ATP metal-nucleotide complex concentration at constant concentrations of free calcium or ATP, it is shown that the sigmoidicity is due to the effect of free ATP, which changes the Hill constant to 1.6 from 1.0 observed when the free calcium concentration is kept constant at 5 mM. Therefore not only is ATP an inhibitor but it is also an allosteric effector of Spirulina F1 ATPase activity. At 5 mM free calcium, the Km for teh Ca-ATP metal-nucleotide complex is 0.42 mM.

At the optimal pH for growth (pH 10.5), alkalophilic Bacillus firmus RAB, an obligate aerobe, exhibits normal rates of oxidative phosphorylation despite the low transmembrane proton electrochemical gradient, about -60 mV (delta psi = -180 mV and delta pH = +120 mV). This bioenergetic problem might be resolved by use of an Na+ coupled ATP synthase; otherwise an F1F0-ATPase must be able to utilize low driving forces in this organism. The ATPase activity was extracted from everted membrane vesicles by low ionic strength treatment and purified to homogeneity by hydrophobic interaction chromatography and sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The ATPase preparation had the characteristic F1-ATPase subunit structure, with Mr values of 51,500 (alpha), 48,900 (beta), 34,400 (gamma), 23,300 (delta), and 14,500 (epsilon); the identity of the alpha and beta subunits was confirmed by immunoblotting with anti-beta of Escherichia coli and anti-B. firmus RAB F1. Methanol and octyl glucoside, agents that stimulated the low basal membrane ATPase activity 10- to 12-fold, dramatically elevated the MgATPase activity of the purified F1, more than 150-fold, to 50 mumol min-1 mg protein-1. Anti-F1 inhibited membrane ATPase activity greater than or equal to 80%. The membranes exhibited no Na+-stimulated or vanadate-sensitive ATPase activity when prepared in the absence or presence of Na+ or ATP. These findings, which are consistent with previous studies, establish that in alkalophilic bacteria, ATP hydrolysis, and presumably ATP synthesis is catalyzed by an F1F0-ATPase rather than a Na+ ATPase.

Two hydrophobic proteins have been purified to homogeneity from a mixture of about 13 proteins that are extracted from bovine mitochondria with a chloroform:methanol mixture. Sequence analysis shows that the smaller is a protein of 66 amino acids and is the product of a mitochondrial gene, A6L. The larger, a protein of 226 amino acids, is ATPase-6, a membrane component of ATP synthase, also encoded in mitochondrial DNA. The protein sequences determined establish that the genes for the two proteins overlap by 40 bases and indicate that translation of the second gene, ATPase-6, is initiated within the coding region of A6L. The A6L and the ATPase-6 proteins have also been isolated from the ATP synthase complex and so appear to be bona fide components of the enzyme. The function of A6L is unknown. However, weak structural homology suggests a functional similarity to the yeast mitochondrial protein, aapI, which is required for assembly of the fungal ATP synthase complex. Homologies between ATPase-6 and subunit a of the Escherichia coli ATP synthase complex indicate that the ATPase-6 protein has a similar role in the mitochondrial complex to its bacterial counterpart, being essential for the formation of an active proton channel.

The ATPase activity of soluble F1 ATPase of mitochondria is activated by Pi. The concentration of Pi required for half-maximal activation decreases from a value higher than 50 mM to about 1 mM Pi when one of the organic solvents dimethyl sulfoxide (15 to 30%), methanol (7.5 to 15%) or ethylene glycol (10 to 30%) is added to the assay medium. This effect is observed in the presence of MgCl2 but not in the presence of CaCl2.

The association of an ATPase with the yeast peroxisomal membrane was established by both biochemical and cytochemical procedures. Peroxisomes were purified from protoplast homogenates of the methanol-grown yeast Hansenula polymorpha by differential and sucrose gradient centrifugation. Biochemical analysis revealed that ATPase activity was associated with the peroxisomal peak fractions which were identified on the basis of alcohol oxidase and catalase activity. The properties of this ATPase closely resembled those of the mitochondrial ATPase of this yeast. The enzyme was Mg2+-dependent, had a pH optimum of approximately 8.5 and was sensitive to N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD), oligomycin and azide, but not to vanadate. A major difference was the apparent Km for ATP which was 4-6 mM for the peroxisomal ATPase compared to 0.6-0.9 mM for the mitochondrial enzyme. Cytochemical experiments indicated that the peroxisomal ATPase was associated with the membranes surrounding these organelles. After incubations with CeCl3 and ATP specific reaction products were localized on the peroxisomal membrane, both when unfixed isolated peroxisomes or formaldehyde-fixed protoplasts were used. This staining was strictly ATP-dependent; in controls performed in the absence of substrate, in the presence of glycerol 2-phosphate instead of ATP, or in the presence of DCCD, staining was invariably absent. Similar staining patterns were observed in subcellular fractions and protoplasts of Candida utilis and Trichosporon cutaneum X4, grown in the presence of ethanol/ethylamine or ethylamine, respectively.

The F1 ATPase of Bacillus subtilis BD99 was extracted from everted membrane vesicles by low-ionic-strength treatment and purified by DEAE-cellulose chromatography, hydrophobic interaction chromatography, and anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography. The subunit structure of the enzyme was examined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the absence and presence of urea. In the absence of urea, the alpha and beta subunits comigrated and the ATPase was resolved into four bands. The mobility of the beta subunit, identified by immunoblotting with anti-beta from Escherichia coli F1, was altered dramatically by the presence of urea, causing it to migrate more slowly than the alpha subunit. The catalytic activity of the ATPase was strongly metal dependent; in the absence of effectors, the Ca2+-ATPase activity was 15- to 20-fold higher than the Mg2+ -ATPase activity. On the other hand, sulfite anion, methanol, and optimally, octylglucoside stimulated the Mg2+ -ATPase activity up to twice the level of Ca2+ -ATPase activity (specific activity, about 80 mumol of Pi per min per mg of protein). The F1 ATPase was also isolated from mutants of B. subtilis that had been isolated and characterized in this laboratory by their ability to grow in the presence of protonophores. The specific activities of the ATPase preparations from the mutant and the wild type were very similar for both Mg2+- and Ca2+ -dependent activities. Kinetic parameters (Vmax and Km for Mg-ATP) for octylglucoside-stimulated Mg2+ -ATPase activity were similar in both preparations. Structural analysis by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing indicated that the five F1 subunits from ATPase preparations from the mutant and wild-type strains had identical apparent molecular weights and that no charge differences were detectable in the alpha and beta subunits in the two preparations. Thus, the increased ATPase activity that had been observed in the uncoupler-resistant mutants is probably not due to a mutation in the F1 moiety of the ATPase complex.

The conformations of the H+-ATPase complex and F1-ATPase in low concentrations of methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, iso-propanol and t-butanol were studied by circular dichroism. For F1-ATPase, all but methanol first increased and then decreased the circular dichroism magnitude of helical bands as the alcohol concentration was increased. With ethanol, n-propanol, iso-propanol and t-butanol, the alpha-helix content reached a maximum at about 5% alcohol and began to decrease at 10%. The content of beta-sheet showed the opposite effect, reaching a minimum at 5% and increasing slightly at higher concentrations. None of the alcohols studied had a significant effect on the conformation of the H+-ATPase complex. This difference implies that the alcohols had a greater effect on free F1-ATPase than on the membrane-bound F1-ATPase. The hydrophobic protein F0 and the membrane lipids in the H+-ATPase complex may stabilize and protect F1 from the effects of the alcohols.

The H+-ATPase of Beta vacuolar membrane (tonoplast) comprises at least three functionally distinct subunits of Mr = 67,000, 57,000, and 16,000, respectively (Manolson, M. F., Rea, P. A., and Poole, R. J. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 12273-12279). The hydrophobic carboxyl reagent N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) inactivates the enzyme with pseudo-first order kinetics, and the concentration dependence of the reaction indicates that DCCD interacts with a single site on the enzyme to exert its inhibitory effect. The apparent pseudo-first order rate constant (k0) is reciprocally dependent on membrane protein concentration, which is expected if a large fraction of the DCCD partitions into the lipid phase. k0 has a nominal value of 1000 M-1 min-1 at a protein concentration of 250 micrograms/ml, although when phase partitioning is taken into account, the true, protein concentration-independent value of k0 is calculated to be about an order of magnitude lower. [14C]DCCD primarily labels the Mr = 16,000 polypeptide of native tonoplast vesicles. Binding is venturicidin-insensitive and occurs at a rate similar to the rate of enzyme inactivation, implying that inhibition is a direct result of covalent modification of the Mr = 16,000 polypeptide. Labeling of the containing Mr = 8,000 subunit of mitochondrial F0F1-ATPase is, on the other hand, faster by a factor of 5 and totally abolished by venturicidin. These results confirm that the Mr = 16,000 polypeptide which copurifies with tonoplast H+-ATPase activity is a subunit of the enzyme. Most of the DCCD-reactive Mr = 16,000 subunit is extracted from acetone:ethanol-washed tonoplast vesicles by chloroform:methanol. [14C]DCCD bound to the Mr = 16,000 polypeptide is enriched in the chloroform:methanol extract by 5-fold compared with native tonoplast and the specific activity (nmol of [14C]DCCD/mg of protein) can be increased a further 37-fold by chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex. It is concluded that the Mr = 16,000 subunit of the tonoplast H+-ATPase is a proteolipid.
