The sidedness of the effects of several amines on the steady-state phosphorylation level of rabbit kidney Na+/K+-ATPase has been studied with the enzyme incorporated in phosphatidylcholine-cholesterol containing proteoliposomes. The presence of ouabain prevented phosphorylation of non-incorporated or rightside-out incorporated enzyme, so that only the inside-out incorporated Na+/K+-ATPase molecules were studied. Addition of either Na+ or several amines to the extracellular side of the enzyme led to an enhancement of the steady-state phosphorylation level obtained with optimal concentrations of Na+, Mg2+ and ATP at the cytosolic side. The series imidazole greater than Na+ greater than triallylamine greater than Tris greater than ethylenediamine showed a decrease in affinity. Histidine, sorbitol and choline chloride had no effect at the extracellular side. This means that in addition to the well-known cytosolic ligands either Na+ or a positively charged amine buffer has to be present extracellularly in order to obtain an optimal phosphorylation level. At the cytoplasmic side the tested amines exerted different effects. (i) Imidazole and triallylamine enhanced the steady-state phosphorylation level when the extracellular conditions were optimal (saturating amine concentration). (ii) Tris and ethylenediamine decreased the steady-state phosphorylation level and (iii) histidine had no effect. The cytoplasmic effects of the amine compounds correlate with those described by Schuurmans Stekhoven et al. (Biochim. Biophys. Acta 937 (1988) 161-171) for the unsided preparation. The extracellular effects, however, are apparently masked in experiments with fragmented enzyme preparations and are assumed to be potentiating effects which make the enzyme ready for phosphorylation upon a cytoplasmic trigger (e.g. Na+).

Periplasmic permeases are composed of four proteins, one of which has an ATP-binding site that has been postulated to be involved in energy coupling. Previous data suggested that these permeases derive energy from substrate level phosphorylation (Berger, E. A. (1973) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 70, 1514-1518); however, conflicting results later cast doubt upon this hypothesis. Here, we make use of two well characterized periplasmic permeases and of a well characterized unc mutant (ATPase-) to examine this energetics problem in depth. We have utilized the histidine and maltose periplasmic permeases in Escherichia coli as model systems. Isogenic unc strains were used in order to study separately the effect of the proton-motive force and of ATP on transport. These parameters were analyzed concomitantly with transport assays. Starvation experiments indicate that both histidine and maltose transport require ATP generation and that a normal level of delta psi is not sufficient. Uncouplers such as carbonyl cyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone and 2,4-dinitrophenol dissipated the delta psi without decreasing the ATP level and without significant effect on these permeases, showing that delta psi is not needed. Inhibition of ATP synthesis by arsenate eliminates transport through both permeases, confirming the need for ATP. In agreement with previous results with the glutamine permease (Plate, C. A. (1979) J. Bacteriol. 137, 221-225), valinomycin plus K+ dissipates delta psi without affecting ATP levels and inhibits histidine transport; however, maltose transport is not inhibited under these conditions. This result is discussed in terms of the artefactual side effects caused by valinomycin/K+ treatment on some periplasmic permeases. Histidine transport is also shown to be sensitive to changes in the cytoplasmic pH. It is concluded that periplasmic permeases indeed have an obligatory requirement for ATP (or a closely related molecule), whereas the proton-motive force is neither sufficient nor essential.

A first Japanese case of an adult polysaccharide storage myopathy (APSM) was reported. A 30-year-old Japanese male was admitted because of weakness of the lower limbs. The onset of the symptoms was at the age of 23. Neurologically he had moderate weakness of proximal limb muscles involving the lower limbs more than the upper and slightly decreased vibratory sense in the feet. His gait was waddling. The following laboratory values were obtained; SGOT 45 I.U., SGPT 83 I.U., CPK 218 I.U., UA 8.3 mg/dl. Ischemic exercise test of the forearm showed a normal rise of venous lactate. EMG revealed a mixture of myopathic and mild neurogenic patterns characterized by motor units of short duration and low amplitude with intermittent high amplitude potentials, fibrillation and fasciculation. There were also prominent myotonic discharges without clinical myotonia. MCV was normal, however sural nerve SCV was slightly slow (lt. 36/m, rt. 38 m/s). Muscle biopsy revealed vacuolar myopathy. Most vacuoles contained basophilic, PAS-positive, diastase-resistant and Lugol's iodine-negative material. With ATPase staining there was type 1 fiber predominance (84%), but the vacuoles were predominantly seen in type 2A fiber. In ultrastructural study, the storage material was located under the sarcolemma and in the areas of the intermyofibrillar network. No delimiting membranes were seen. At higher magnification, these masses were consisted of filaments. Therefore the storage material was considered to be unusual polysaccharide. Glycogen storage disease was suspected, however, biochemical study of the muscle specimen disclosed no enzymatic defect including branching enzyme.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The rate of mitochondrial ATPase inactivation by the naturally occurring inhibitor protein in the presence of saturating ATP and Mg2+ at pH 8.0 depends hyperbolically on the amount of inhibitor added; the upper limit of an apparent first-order constant for the inactivation process is 1.0(-1) at 25 degrees C. A dramatic difference in the inactivation rate is observed when the protein inhibitor is added to the same assay system from either acidic (pH 4.8) or alkaline (pH 8.2) solutions. The slow reversible transition of the inhibitor from its rapidly reacting 'acidic' form to the slow reacting 'alkaline' form occurs when the solution of the protein inhibitor is subjected to a pH-jump from 4.8 to 8.2 (t1/2 approximately 30s at 25 degrees C). The pH-profile of the inhibitor active/inactive equilibrium suggests that a group with pKa approximately 6.5 is involved in the transition. Treatment of the inhibitor protein with a histidine-specific reagent (e.g. diethyl pyrocarbonate) abolishes its inactivating effect on the ATPase activity. It is concluded that the protonation/deprotonation of the inhibitor protein followed by its slow conformational changes is the rate-limiting step in the inhibitor-ATP synthetase interaction.

F1-type ATPase is the central enzyme for ATP synthesis in most organisms. Because of the extreme reconstitutability of thermophilic ATPase (TF1) and diversity of the minor subunits of F1 type ATPase, an operon coding for TF1 was isolated from DNA of thermophilic bacterium PS3, and its terminal region containing the epsilon subunit (TF1 epsilon) and terminator was sequenced. The primary structure of the epsilon subunit (Mr = 14 333) was deduced from the nucleotide sequence (396 base-pairs) and amino-acid sequence of its amino terminus. The conclusions drawn from the results are as follows. Homologies: TF1 epsilon shows only 6% homology with the epsilon subunits of eight species reported, but 50% homology with Escherichia coli epsilon and 41% with chloroplast. The residues having a tendency to form reverse turns (Gly, Pro and Tyr) and His are relatively well conserved. Unlike some F1 epsilon types TF1 epsilon has no ATPase inhibitor activity and is not homologous with ATPase inhibitor. TF1 epsilon is essential to connect F1 to F0, like the b subunit, and is weakly homologous with the b subunit of F0F1. The cause of 3 beta: 1 epsilon subunit stoichiometry: The ribosome binding sequence of TF1 epsilon is TAGGN7, which is incomplete compared with that of TF1 beta. The codon usage for TF1 epsilon is similar to that for TF1 epsilon. The cause of stability of TF1 epsilon and its gene: There are 18 ionic groups at the putative reverse turns and the N- and C-termini of TF1 epsilon, but only 10 ionic groups in the corresponding sites of E. coli epsilon subunit. These ionic groups enhance the external polarity of TF1 epsilon and may intensify subunit-subunit interaction. There is a terminator at the 3' end of the TF1 epsilon gene, which is stabilized by a long (13 base-pairs) stem.

A mutant strain KF43 of Escherichia coli defective in the beta subunit of H+-translocating ATPase (F0F1) was examined. In this mutant, replacement of Arg246 by His was identified by DNA sequencing of the mutant gene and confirmed by tryptic peptide mapping. The mutant F1-ATPase was defective in multi-site hydrolysis of ATP but was active in uni-site hydrolysis. Studies on the kinetics of uni-site hydrolysis indicated that the k1 (rate of ATP binding) was similar to that of the wild-type, but the k-1 (rate of release of ATP) could not be measured. The mutant enzyme had a k3 (rate of release of inorganic phosphate) about 15-fold higher than that of the wild-type and showed 3 orders of magnitude lower promotion from uni- to multi-site catalysis. These results suggest that Arg246 or the region in its vicinity is important in multi-site hydrolysis of ATP and is also related to the binding of inorganic phosphate. Reconstitution experiments using isolated subunits suggested that hybrid enzymes (alpha beta gamma complexes) carrying both the mutant and wild-type beta subunits were inactive in multi-site hydrolysis of ATP, supporting the notion that three intact beta subunits are required for activity of the F1 molecule.

Mutations in the uncB gene which encodes the a subunit of F1F0-ATPase in Escherichia coli were isolated and characterized. Eight mutations caused premature polypeptide chain termination. Two mutations were single amino acid substitutions resulting in the replacements of serine 206 with leucine (ser-206----leu) and histidine 245 with tyrosine (his-245----tyr). The ser-206----leu mutation does not alter F1 binding and allows ATP driven membrane energization at a low level. Stripping of F1 from membranes containing the ser-206----leu mutation does not render the membranes permeable to protons indicating impaired proton conductivity. The his-245----tyr mutation also blocks Fo-mediated proton conduction but has normal F1 binding properties. F1 bound to membranes with both ser-206----leu and his-245----tyr mutant a subunits is sensitive to dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Apparently, both missense mutations impair proton conduction without altering assembly of the F1F0-ATPase complex. The direct involvement of the a subunit in proton translocation is discussed.

The inactivation of the bovine heart mitochondrial F1-ATPase by 5'-p-fluorosulfonylbenzoylinosine (FSBI) proceeds with pseudo-first order kinetics. The rate of inactivation increased from pH 7 to 9 revealing a pKa of about 8.2. When a tryptic digest of the enzyme which had been inactivated with 5'-p-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl[3H]inosine ([3H]FSBI) was submitted to reversed phase high pressure liquid chromatography, a single major peak of radioactivity, T1, was resolved. Amino acid sequence analysis of purified peptide fragments derived from T1 showed that the modification of beta-Tyr-345 is responsible for inactivation of the enzyme. Complete inactivation of the enzyme by [3H]FSBI is estimated to proceed with modification of 0.8 mol of beta-Tyr-345/mol of enzyme. Another notable observation is that inosine triphosphatase (ITPase) activity catalyzed by F1 from bovine heart mitochondria is much more sensitive to inactivation by 5'-p-fluorosulfonylbenzoyladenosine (FSBA) than is ATPase activity. Whereas complete inactivation of ATPase activity by FSBA has been shown to proceed with the mutually exclusive modification of Tyr-368 or His-427 in all three copies of the beta subunit (Bullough, D. A., and Allison, W. S. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 5722-5730), it is shown here that complete inactivation of ITPase activity by FSBA is accompanied by modification of these residues in only one copy of the beta subunit. Inactivation of both the ATPase and ITPase activities of the enzyme by FSBI proceeds with modification of Tyr-345 in a single copy of the beta subunit.

Modification of histidine residue(s) by diethylpyrocarbonate treatment of submitochondrial particles obtained by sonication results in inhibition of ATPase activity and stimulation of oligomycin-sensitive H+ conduction. The inhibition of the ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) activity persisted in F1 isolated from diethylpyrocarbonate-treated submitochondrial particles, which exhibited the absorbance spectrum of modified histidine. Thus the inhibition of the ATPase activity results from histidine modification in F1 subunits. Removal of the natural inhibitor protein from submitochondrial particles resulted in stimulation of proton conduction. After removal of F1 inhibitor protein from the particles the stimulatory effect exerted by diethylpyrocarbonate treatment on proton conduction was lost. Reconstitution experiments showed that purified F1 inhibitor protein lost, after histidine modification, its capacity to inhibit the ATPase activity and proton conduction. These observations show that the stimulation of proton conduction by the ATPase complex effected by diethylpyrocarbonate treatment results from histidine modification in F1 inhibitor protein.

Site-directed mutagenesis was used to generate three mutations in the uncB gene encoding the a-subunit of the F0 portion of the F0F1-ATPase of Escherichia coli. These mutations directed the substitution of Arg-210 by Gln, or of His-245 by Leu, or of both Lys-167 and Lys-169 by Gln. The mutations were incorporated into plasmids carrying all the structural genes encoding the F0F1-ATPase complex and these plasmids were used to transform strain AN727 (uncB402). Strains carrying either the Arg-210 or His-245 substitutions were unable to grow on succinate as sole carbon source and had uncoupled growth yields. The substitution of Lys-167 and Lys-169 by Gln resulted in a strain with growth characteristics indistinguishable from a normal strain. The properties of the membranes from the Arg-210 or His-245 mutants were essentially identical, both being proton impermeable and both having ATPase activities resistant to the inhibitor DCCD. Furthermore, in both mutants, the F1-ATPase activities were inhibited by about 50% when bound to the membranes. The membrane activities of the mutant with the double lysine change were the same as for a normal strain. The results are discussed in relation to a previously proposed model for the F0 (Cox, G.B., Fimmel, A.L., Gibson, F. and Hatch, L. (1986) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 849, 62-69).
