A simple and rapid method for the isolation of bovine heart mitochondrial adenosine 5'-triphosphatase (F1-ATPase) was developed. Mitochondria were purified by differential centrifugation and stored frozen. After thawing. F1-ATPase was released by treatment with chloroform. Purification of the enzyme was achieved by polyethylene glycol precipitation followed by chromatography on Procion Navy H-ER beaded cellulose in the presence of MgCl2. F1-ATPase was eluted by ATP in the absence of MgCl2. The purity of the enzyme was proved by SDS-polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The purified F1-ATPase showed slightly non-hyperbolic kinetics towards ATP and nearly complete inhibition in the presence of millimolar concentrations of ADP.

Addition of bovine serum albumin to state 4 mitochondria results in a depression of the proton leak and of the resting respiration of 70 and 25%, respectively. The conductance membrane potential diagram, both in the ohmic and in the non-ohmic region, shows that in the presence of bovine serum albumin the level of ohmic conductance is lowered while that of non-ohmic conductance is increased toward higher delta psi values. The same effect is observed during operation of the different proton pumps. Addition of chloroform affects the conductance membrane potential diagram in the following manner: there is no effect in the ohmic region with all pumps, while there is an effect in the non-ohmic region either at site III or at sites II plus III but not at site II. This suggests a possible effect of chloroform at the level of the cytochrome oxidase proton pump. During titration with oligomycin of the ATPase proton pump the conductance potential diagram shows a region of non-ohmicity only in the presence but not in the absence of an ATP-regenerating system. Protonophoric uncouplers such as carbonyl cyanide p(trifluoromethoxy)phenylhydrazone and intrinsic uncouplers such as chloroform have different effects on the relationship between rates of charge translocation and of oxygen consumption, and thus on the pump stoichiometries, in that the slope of the diagram is modified by the latter but not by the former. The differential effects of protonophores and of intrinsic uncouplers on the stoichiometries have been analyzed by computer simulations and represent an additional criterion to distinguish between extrinsic and intrinsic mechanisms of uncoupling.

The chloroplast coupling factor 1 complex (CF1) contains an epsilon-subunit which inhibits the CF1 ATPase activity. Chloroform treatment of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii thylakoid membranes solubilizes only forms of the enzyme which apparently lack the delta-subunit. Four interrelated observations are described in this paper. (1) The dithiothreitol- (DTT) induced ATPase activation of CF1(-delta) and the DTT-induced formation of a physically resolvable CF1(-delta,epsilon) from the CF1(-delta) precursor are compared. The similar time-courses of these two phenomena suggest that the dissociation of the epsilon-subunit is an obligatory process in the DTT-induced ATPase activation of soluble CF1. (2) The reversible dissociation of the epsilon-subunit of the CF1 is demonstrated by the exchange of subunits between distinguishable oligomers. 35S-labelled chloroplast coupling factor 1 lacking the delta and epsilon subunits [CF1(-delta,epsilon)] was added to a solution of non-radioactive coupling factor 1 lacking only the delta subunit [CF1(-delta)]. After separation of the two enzyme forms, via high resolution anion-exchange chromatography, radioactivity was detected in the chromatographic fractions containing CF1(-delta). (3) epsilon-deficient CF1 can be resolved from DTT pretreated epsilon-containing CF1 for several days after the removal of DTT. On the other hand, brief incubation of the DTT pretreated epsilon-containing CF1 with low concentrations of o-iodosobenzoate results in chromatographs containing only the peak of epsilon-containing CF1. A simple explanation for this phenomenon is that reduction of CF1 with DTT increases the apparent dissociation constant for the epsilon-subunit to an estimated 3.5 x 10(-8) M (+/- 1.0 x 10(-8) M) from a value of less than or equal to 5 x 10(-11) M for the oxidized enzyme. (4) ATPase activity data show that oxidation of the epsilon-deficient enzyme does not completely inhibit its manifest activity, but oxidation of DTT pre-treated CF1 which contains the epsilon-subunit completely inhibits manifest activity. A simple model is proposed for the influence of the oxidation state of the soluble enzyme on the distribution of ATPase-inactive and ATPase-active subunit configurations.

The ATPase of Bacillus alcalophilus was extracted from the bacterial membranes with Triton X-100 and purified by hydroxyapatite column chromatography. SDS gel-electrophoresis of the purified protein indicated the typical subunit pattern of an F1F0 structure with five F1 subunits (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon) and three F0 subunits (a,b,c). The alpha and beta subunits were antigens for an antiserum against the corresponding subunits of the ATPase of Escherichia coli. Subunit c was extracted from the bacterial membranes with chloroform/methanol. Its amino acid composition was in the range of subunits c from other ATPases. Maximal ATPase activity was observed in the presence of 2-5 mM MgCl2, an ATP/Mg2+ ratio of 2:1 and 25% methanol. In the absence of methanol, only about 1% of the maximal activity was observed. The enzyme was also activated by Ca2+ (in the absence of methanol), reaching about 30% of the maximal activity. The dependence of initial velocity versus ATP of the Ca2(+)-activated but not of the Mg2+/methanol-activated enzyme indicted cooperativity with three strongly cooperative binding sites.

This report describes the first isolation and molecular characterization of the mitochondrial F1-ATPase from Trypanosoma brucei. The isolation procedure utilized is a modified chloroform extraction procedure. In contrast to earlier reports on the F1-ATPase from other trypanosomatids, the F1-ATPase we have isolated from the procyclic form of T. brucei a complex composed of five distinct subunits. Apparent molecular weights of these subunits are 55,000 [alpha], 42,000 [beta], 32,000 [gamma], 22,000 [delta], and 17,000 [epsilon]. The F1 moiety which possesses the active site of the H(+)-ATPase has an ATPase activity in the standard Tris-HCl coupled enzyme assay with a Vmax of 22.96 mumol min-1 (mg protein)-1 and a Km value of 0.60 mM. This ATPase activity is cold labile and is not susceptible to oligomycin inhibition as is the membrane bound enzyme. Upon reconstitution with F1-ATPase depleted membranes (urea particles) the ATPase regains oligomycin sensitivity to the same extent as that found in the intact inner membrane vesicles. ATP synthesis is also restored to these particles upon reconstitution with F1. These results indicate that this F1-ATPase as isolated is intact with respect to all the critical H(+)-ATPase functions.

N,N'-Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) inhibits 100% of proton transport and 80-85% of (Mg2+)-ATPase activity in clathrin-coated vesicles. Half-maximum inhibition of proton transport is observed at 10 microM DCCD after 30 min. Although treatment of the coated vesicle (H+)-ATPase with DCCD has no effect on ATP hydrolysis in the detergent-solubilized state, sensitivity of proton transport and ATPase activity to DCCD is restored following reconstitution into phospholipid vesicles. In addition, treatment of the detergent-solubilized enzyme with DCCD followed by reconstitution gives a preparation that is blocked in both proton transport and ATP hydrolysis. These results suggest that although the coated vesicle (H+)-ATPase can react with DCCD in either a membrane-bound or detergent-solubilized state, inhibition of ATPase activity is only manifested when the pump is present in sealed membrane vesicles. To identify the subunit responsible for inhibition of the coated vesicle (H+)-ATPase by DCCD, we have labeled the partially purified enzyme with [14C]DCCD. A single polypeptide of molecular weight 17,000 is labeled. The extremely hydrophobic nature of this polypeptide is indicated by its extraction with chloroform:methanol. The 17,000-dalton protein can be labeled to a maximum stoichiometry of 0.99 mol of DCCD/mol of protein with 100% inhibition of proton transport occurring at a stoichiometry of 0.15-0.20 mol of DCCD/mol of protein. Amino acid analysis of the chloroform:methanol extracted 17,000-dalton polypeptide reveals a high percentage of nonpolar amino acids. The similarity in properties of this protein and the DCCD-binding subunit of the coupling factor (H+)-ATPases suggests that the 17,000-dalton polypeptide may function as part of a proton channel in the coated vesicle proton pump.

The effects of vanadate on mitochondrial respiration and H+ ATPase activity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae were studied. A 50% inhibition of oxygen uptake in isolated mitochondria was produced by 4.4 mM-V2O5. Activity of H+ ATPase in whole mitochondria was inhibited by 50% by 5.5 microM-V2O5, in submitochondrial particles by 55 microM-V2O5; and in the chloroform-released H+ ATPase by 0.5 mM-V2O5. Vanadate was also found to relieve growth inhibition caused by the mitochondrial H+ ATPase inhibitors NN'-decyclohexylcarbodiimide and oligomycin. These results imply that vanadate could affect mitochondrial respiration by interacting with the H+ ATPase in S. cerevisiae.

A procedure for the preparation of coupling factor 1 (F1) from Escherichia coli lacking subunits delta and epsilon is described. Using chloroform and dimethyl sulfoxide, we can isolate F1 containing only subunits alpha, beta, and gamma [F1(alpha beta gamma)] directly from membrane vesicles in 10-mg quantities. Pure and active subunits delta and epsilon were prepared from five-subunit F1 by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. After addition of these subunits, F1(alpha beta gamma) is as active in reconstituting ATP-dependent transhydrogenase as five-subunit F1. The ATPase activity of F1 (alpha beta gamma) is inhibited by subunit epsilon in a 1:1 stoichiometry to the same extent (approximately equal to 90%) and with the same affinity (Ki = 0.2-0.8 nM) as reported earlier [Dunn, S.D. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 7354-7359]. In the presence of either delta or epsilon, F1(alpha beta gamma) binds to F1-depleted membrane vesicles and to liposomes containing the membrane sector (F0) of the ATP synthase to an extent commensurate with the F0 content. The binding ratios epsilon/F1 (alpha beta gamma) and probably also delta/F1 (alpha beta gamma) are close to unity. The specific, delta- or epsilon-deficient F1.F0 complexes presumably formed show ATPase activities sensitive to subunit epsilon but not to dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, and no energy-transfer capabilities. Binding studies at different pH values suggest that F1-F0 interactions in the presence of both subunits delta and epsilon are similar to a combination of those mediated by delta or epsilon alone.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

A fast protein liquid chromatography procedure for purification of the V-type H+-ATPase from higher plant vacuolar membrane to yield near-homogeneous enzyme with a specific activity of 20-25 mumol/mg.min is described. When precautions are taken to ensure the quantitative recovery of protein before sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the preparation is found to be constituted of seven major polypeptides of 100, 67, 55, 52, 44, 32, and 16 kDa, respectively, and two minor components of 42 and 29 kDa. The 52-, 44-, and 32-kDa polypeptides do not cross-react with antisera raised to the 67- and 55-kDa subunits of the enzyme, and two independent sample preparation procedures yield the same apparent subunit composition. The additional polypeptides are not breakdown products or aggregates of the previously identified subunits of the ATPase. The ATPase of tonoplast vesicles is subject to MgATP-dependent cold inactivation, and the conditions for inactivation are identical to those for the bovine chromaffin granule H+-ATPase (Moriyama, Y., and Nelson, N. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 3577-3582). Cold inactivation is accompanied by the detachment of five major polypeptides of 67, 55, 52, 44, and 32 kDa from the membrane, and all five components co-migrate with the corresponding polypeptides of the purified ATPase upon sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The 100- and 16-kDa polypeptides of the ATPase are not removed from the membrane during cold inactivation, but the latter can be purified to homogeneity by chloroform:methanol extraction of the fast protein liquid chromatography-purified enzyme. It is concluded that the tonoplast H+-ATPase is constituted of 6-7 major polypeptides organized into a peripheral sector comprising the 67-, 55-, 52-, 44-, and 32-kDa components and an integral sector consisting of the 100- and 16-kDa polypeptides. The V-type H+-ATPase from animal endomembranes and higher plant vacuolar membranes therefore have remarkably similar subunit compositions and gross topographies.

The ability of plasma to inhibit 86 rubidium uptake in rat aorta and to displace [3H]-ouabain from hog brain Na+,K+-ATPase was used as a measure of plasma Na+,K+-ATPase inhibitory activity in seven normotensive and eight hypertensive subjects. Rat aortae rings were incubated in oxygenated plasma containing 86 rubidium (2 microCi/mL) for 30 mins at 37 degrees C and uptake measured and expressed as mumol/kg wet weight/min. Plasma was extracted with a mixture of chloroform and methanol (2:1) and the extract separated by silicic acid column followed by thin layer chromatography and fractions assayed for ouabain displacement using digoxin as a standard. Total ouabain displacement was calculated as the sum of all fractions. There was a strong correlation between the two methods for total plasma Na+,K+-ATPase inhibitory activity (r = 0.761, P less than 0.01). There was a significant positive correlation between plasma Na+,K+-ATPase inhibitory activity and blood pressure in all subjects. Na+,K+-ATPase inhibitory activity was significantly higher in plasma of hypertensives by both methods (P less than 0.001). The increased Na+,K+-ATPase inhibitory activity in plasma from hypertensives was due to the nonesterified fatty acid, long chain acylcarnitine and diphosphatidylglycerol fractions.
