An intrinsic ATPase inhibitor and 9-kDa protein are regulatory factors of mitochondrial ATP synthase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A gene encoding the ATPase inhibitor was isolated from a yeast genomic library with synthetic oligonucleotides as hybridization probes and was sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence showed that the precursor protein contains an amino-terminal presequence of 22 amino acid residues. Mutant strains that did not contain the inhibitor and/or the 9-kDa protein were constructed by transformation of cells with their in vitro disrupted genes. The disruption of the chromosomal copy in recombinant cells was verified by Southern blot analysis, and the absence of the proteins in the mutant cells was confirmed by Western blot analysis. All the mutants could grow on a nonfermentable carbon source and the oxidative phosphorylation activities of their isolated mitochondria were the same as that of normal mitochondria. However, an uncoupler, carbonylcyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone, induced marked ATP hydrolysis in the inhibitor-deficient mitochondria, but not in normal mitochondria. These observations suggest that the ATPase inhibitor inhibits ATP hydrolysis by F1F0-ATPase only when the membrane potential is lost.

The ATP synthases of eubacteria and eukaryotes possess a conserved tyrosine (beta 331) that is labeled by ATP analogs and is believed to be at the catalytic site. In this report, this tyrosine was replaced by Phe, Ser, Cys, Gly, and Ala in an attempt to determine its role in catalysis. Each of the beta 331 mutant strains assembled an ATP synthase. Membranes from the beta 331-Ser, -Cys, -Ala, or -Gly strains showed strongly attenuated ATP hydrolysis and ATP-driven proton-pumping activities. The beta 331-Phe membranes showed nearly normal ATPase and functional proton pumping. A new purification procedure yielding highly active unc+ F1 (ATPase rates greater than 1000 s-1) allowed rapid isolation of soluble F1-ATPases. Kinetic analyses of purified enzymes confirmed that the structural and functional properties of beta 331-Tyr can be substituted by Phe but not effectively by Ser, Cys, Ala, or Gly. Since all of the beta 331 mutant enzymes catalyzed measurable ATP hydrolysis, it is clear that beta 331-Tyr is not directly involved in the bond making-breaking steps of catalysis. The ability of the beta 331-Phe enzyme to rapidly bind and hydrolyze ATP, and the results with other beta 331 mutant enzymes, suggests that a residue with an aromatic character is required at this position.

Chromatographic procedures were developed to purify chloroplast ATP synthase (CF0-CF1) in large amounts and to resolve subunits from this enzyme. The ATP synthase thus obtained has high ATP-Pi exchange and Mg2(+)-ATPase activities upon incorporation into asolectin liposomes. The purity of this preparation was about 95%. By modifications of this chromatographic procedure, we purified subunit IV-deficient CF0-CF1, subunit IV-deficient CF0, and subunit IV. Both ATP-Pi exchange and Mg2(+)-ATPase activities were impaired by depletion of subunit IV from CF0-CF1. Partial restoration of these activities was obtained by reconstituting subunit IV-deficient CF0-CF1 with subunit IV. The impairment of these activities was likely caused by a loss in proton conductivity of CF0 upon removal of subunit IV. The dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-sensitive Mg2(+)-ATPase of subunit IV-deficient CF0-CF1 was not as sensitive to the depletion of subunit IV as ATP-Pi exchange. Nearly 90% of subunit IV could be removed, but Mg2(+)-ATPase activity was inhibited by only 40-60%. Thus subunit IV of CF0-CF1 may not participate directly in proton transfer but may have a role in organizing and/or stabilizing CF0 structure.

A 66 kDa protein, denoted P66, not hitherto classified as an integral component of yeast mitochondrial ATPase, is often observed in preparations of this enzyme complex. A physical association exists between P66 and the assembled ATPase complex since both components are coimmunoprecipitated by anti-F1 beta monoclonal antibody. Two recombinant clones expressing proteins immunologically similar to P66 were isolated from a yeast genomic library in lambda gt11 by screening with a polyclonal anti-holo-ATPase antibody. Based on restriction site mapping and partial nucleotide sequence analysis, both clones encompass the gene encoding the yeast heat shock protein hsp60. The identification of P66 with hsp60, taken together with its demonstrated association with the mitochondrial ATPase complex, is consistent with recent suggestions that hsp60 is involved in assembly of the ATP synthase complex.

The alpha 3 beta 3 hexamer was reconstituted from the alpha and beta subunits of TF1 portion of ATP synthase of thermophilic bacterium (Kagawa et al. (1989) FEBS Lett. 249, 67). The alpha 1 beta 1 heterodimer of ATP synthase was isolated by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) of the alpha 3 beta 3 hexamer in the presence of AT(D)P-Mg. On polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, both bands corresponding to the dimer and hexamer showed ATPase activity. The alpha 1 beta 1 dimer was dissociated into the equal amounts of the alpha and beta monomers by sodium dodecyl sulfate. The alpha and beta monomers were practically inactive. The alpha 2 and beta 2 homodimers were not detected by electrophoresis and HPLC.

The gene coding for the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondrial oligomycin sensitivity-conferring protein (OSCP) has been sequenced, and the gene products have been characterized. The OSCP is subunit 5 of the mitochondrial ATP synthase, a multimeric protein complex. As such, the gene coding for the yeast OSCP is referred to here as the ATP5 gene. From the predicted primary sequence, the calculated molecular weight of the immature yeast OSCP is 22,813 and the amino acid sequence is 35% identical and 65% homologous to bovine OSCP. A null mutant has been constructed. This mutant strain is unable to grow on glycerol medium, has no detectable oligomycin-sensitive ATPase activity, and has no detectable immune reactive proteins with the corresponding molecular weight of the OSCP (using antibodies reactive to the yeast OSCP). The transcription products of the yeast gene have been characterized. There is a single major transcript from the ATP5 gene of 1.05 kilobases. The level of the transcription product is increased from 3-5-fold after growth in galactose medium as compared to cells grown in glucose medium. The transcriptional initiation sites were determined to occur at +68(G) and +69(T) at comparable frequency and were not dependent on the growth medium. These results suggest that transcription of the ATP5 gene is catabolite-repressed.

The H(+)-ATPase (ATP synthase) from chloroplasts was isolated, purified and reconstituted into phosphatidylcholine/phosphatidic-acid liposomes. Liposomes prepared by reverse-phase evaporation were treated with various amounts of Triton X-100 and protein incorporation was studied at each step of the solubilization process. After detergent removal by SM2-Biobeads, the activities of the resulting proteoliposomes were measured indicating that the most efficient reconstitution was obtained by insertion of the protein into preformed, detergent-saturated liposomes. The conditions for the reconstitution were optimized with regard to ATP synthesis driven by an artificially generated delta pH/delta psi. An important benefit of the new reconstituted CF0F1 liposomes is the finding that the rate of ATP synthesis remains constant up to 10 s, indicating a low basal membrane permeability.

The Escherichia coli F1 ATPase, ECF1, has been examined by cryoelectron microscopy after reaction with Fab' fragments generated from monoclonal antibodies to the alpha and epsilon subunits. The enzyme-antibody complexes appeared triangular due to the superposition of three anti-alpha Fab' fragments on alternating densities of the hexagonally arranged alpha and beta subunits. The Fab' to the epsilon subunit superimposed on a beta subunit. A density was observed near the center of the structure in the internal cavity. The position of this central density with respect to peripheral sites was not fixed. Sorting of images of ECF1 labeled with the combination of three anti-alpha Fab' fragments plus an Fab' directed to the epsilon subunit gave three classes in each of which the central density was closest to a different beta subunit. The distribution of the central density among the three classes was measured for different ligand-binding conditions. When ATP was present in catalytic sites under conditions where there was no enzyme turnover (i.e., without Mg2+ present), there were approximately equal numbers of images in each of three classes. When ATP and Mg2+ were added and ATP hydrolysis was allowed to proceed, almost two-thirds of the images were in the class in which the central density was closest to the beta subunit superimposed by the epsilon subunit. We conclude that domains within the ECF1 structure, either the central mass or a domain including the epsilon subunit, move in the enzyme in response to ligand binding. We suggest that this movement is involved in coupling catalytic sites to the proton channel in the F0 part of the ATP synthase.

Adenosine triphosphatase activity and nucleotide binding affinity of isolated beta-subunit preparations from Escherichia coli F1F0-ATP synthase were studied. The aim was to find out whether isolated beta-subunit would provide an experimental model in which effects of mutations on catalysis per se, unencumbered by complications due to their effects on positive catalytic cooperativity, could be studied. Three types of purified, isolated beta-subunit preparations were studied. Type I-beta was from a strain lacking all F1F0 subunits except beta and epsilon. Type II-beta was from F1 carrying the alpha S375F mutation which blocks positive catalytic cooperativity. Type III-beta was from normal F1. Type I- and II-beta had very low ATPase activity (less than 10(-4) s-1) which was azide-insensitive, aurovertin-insensitive, and unaffected by anti-beta antibody. Type I-beta activity was EDTA-insensitive. We conclude that isolated beta-subunit from E. coli F1F0 has zero or at most very low intrinsic ATPase activity. Type III-beta had low ATPase activity (8.4 x 10(-5) s-1 to 1.1 x 10(-3) s-1 in seven different preparations). This activity was aurovertin-sensitive, but varied in azide sensitivity from 0 to 34% inhibited. The azide-sensitive component, like F1 and alpha 3 beta 3 gamma oligomer, was inhibited by anti-beta and anti-alpha antibodies. The azide-insensitive component was stimulated by anti-beta and unaffected by anti-alpha. We show here that (alpha beta)-oligomer has ATPase activity which is azide-insensitive, aurovertin-sensitive, stimulated by anti-beta, and unaffected by anti-alpha. The intrinsic ATPase activity of Type III-beta could be due to contaminating (alpha beta)-oligomer plus alpha 3 beta 3 gamma-oligomer. Isolated beta had very low affinity for nucleotide as compared to the first catalytic site on F1. Taken together with the very low ATPase activity of isolated beta (even if real), the work shows that isolated beta is not a good experimental model of F1 catalysis.

After studying the effects of almitrine, a new kind of ATPase/ATP synthase inhibitor, on two kinds of isolated mammalian mitochondrion, we have observed that: (1) Almitrine inhibits oligomycin-sensitive ATPase; it decreases the ATP/O value of oxidative phosphorylations without any change in the magnitude of delta mu H+. (2) Almitrine increases the mechanistic H+/ATP stoichiometry of ATPase as shown by measuring either (i) the extent of potassium acetate and of potassium phosphate accumulation sustained by ATP utilisation, or (ii) the electrical charge/ATP (K+/ATP) ratio at steady-state of ATPase activity. (3) Rat liver mitochondria are at least 10-times more sensitive to almitrine than beef heart mitochondria. (4) The change in H+/ATP stoichiometry induced by almitrine depends on the magnitude of the flux through ATPase. The inhibitory effect of almitrine on ATPase/ATP synthase complex, as a consequence of such an H+/ATP stoichiometry change, is discussed.
