The topographical organization of oligomycin sensitivity conferring protein (OSCP) in the mitochondrial adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase)-ATP synthase complex has been studied. The accessibility of OSCP to monoclonal antibodies has been qualitatively visualized by using the protein A-gold electron microscopy immunocytochemistry or quantitatively estimated by immunotitration of OSCP in depolymerized or intact membranes. Besides, OSCP cannot be labeled by 3-(trifluoromethyl)-3-(m-[125I]iodophenyl)diazirine ([125I]TID) which selectively labels the hydrophobic core of membrane proteins. These observations demonstrate an external location of OSCP on the inner face of the inner mitochondrial membrane. The position of OSCP relative to other peptides of the complex has been analyzed by cross-linking experiments using either zero length N-(ethoxycarbonyl)-2-ethoxydihydroquinoline or 11-A span dimethyl suberimidate cross-linkers in the ATPase-ATP synthase complex. The OSCP cross-linked products were identified either by immunocharacterization with anti-alpha, anti-beta, or anti-OSCP monoclonal antibodies or by their molecular weight. OSCP was cross-linked with either the alpha- or beta-subunits of F1 or to a subunit of Mr 24 000. Other types of cross-linking were obtained by the labeling of OSCP with [cysteamine-35S]-N-succinimidyl 3-[[2-((2-nitro-4-azidophenyl)amino)ethyl]dithio]propionate ([35S]SNAP) and reconstitution of SNAP-OSCP with F1 in urea-treated submitochondrial particles. Under these conditions, OSCP is found to be adjacent to two other peptides of molecular weight close to 30 000. A comparison is made between the topology and the organization of the b-subunit of Escherichia coli and OSCP, suggesting an analogy between OSCP and the hydrophilic part of the b-subunit.

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 mitochondrial ATP synthase/ATPase (F0F1 ATPase) is perhaps the most complex enzyme known. In animal systems it consists of a minimum of 11 different polypeptide chains, 10 (or more) of which appear to be essential for function, and 1 called the "ATPase inhibitor peptide" which is involved in regulation. Recent studies from a variety of laboratories indicate that the ATP synthase/ATPase complex is regulated by several interrelated factors including the thermodynamic poise of the proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane; the ATPase inhibitor peptide; ADP (and/or ADP and Pi); divalent cations; and perhaps the redox state of SH groups on the F1 molecule. The central focus of this review is the ATPase inhibitor peptide. A model involving four distinct conformational states of F1 seems essential to account for the inhibitor's mode of action. The model depicts the ATPase inhibitor protein as acting at the asymmetric center of the F1 moiety. In addition, it accounts for the "unidirectional" role of the inhibitor peptide as a "down regulator" of ATP hydrolysis and for its binding/debinding dependence on the proton motive force and other regulatory factors. Finally, it is suggested that during any physiological process, where there is an energy demand followed by a resting phase, the F1 molecule may follow a "cyclic" path involving the four distinct conformational states of the enzyme.

ATPase/ATP synthase preparations originally contain protein bands in the 28-31-kDa region. The present study demonstrates separation of the band at 29 kDa (adenine nucleotide translocator) from a band at approximately 31 kDa. In cholate/ammonium sulfate-extracted ATP synthases removal of the 31-kDa band results in decrease of ATP-Pi exchange and oligomycin sensitivity of the ATPase activity. It is suggested that the protein band at 31 kDa is heterogeneous, containing diverse activities, the identities of which are yet to be determined.

It was shown previously that the ATP synthase complex of bovine heart mitochondria contains an essential set of thiols or dithiols in its membrane sector (F0), whose modification by various reagents results in uncoupling [Yagi, T., and Hatefi, Y. (1984) Biochemistry 23, 2449-2455]. The sensitivity to modifiers was increased by membrane energization, and the uncoupling was reversed by membrane-permeable thiol compounds when modifiers other than alkylating agents were used to uncouple. The present paper demonstrates that there exists in the F0 of bovine ATP synthase another set of essential thiols, whose modification results in reversible inhibition of ATPase activity. These thiols are most susceptible to modification by mercurials (p-chloromercuribenzoate greater than p-chloromercuribenzene sulfonate) and do not appear to be modified by N-ethylmaleimide. The reversible modification of these thiols by mercurials protects the ATP synthase against irreversible inhibition in F0 by N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The possible location of these two sets of thiols in the F0 of bovine ATP synthase is discussed.

Illumination of chloroplast thylakoids activates ATP synthase-ATPase complex CF0 . CF1. The time course of ATP synthesis is linear if ADP and Pi are added before or simultaneously with illumination. ATP synthesis initiated by adding the substrates in the light exhibits a curvilinear time course with a low initial rate (Vi). Vi, but not the rate at a steady state, decreases with increasing preillumination time with a half-time of 2 s. Coincident with this decrease in Vi, activation of ATP hydrolysis takes place. In the postillumination dark, restoration of Vi is observed: Vi increases with increasing time intervals between the end of illumination and the addition of the substrates with simultaneous reillumination (half-time of 3 s). Coincident with this restoration of Vi, inactivation of ATP hydrolysis takes place. Such an increase in Vi in the postillumination dark is not observed in thylakoids pretreated with N-ethylmaleimide. These results suggest the following: in the light, the ATP synthetically active, but ATP hydrolytically inactive state (Es) converts to the ATP hydrolytically active, but ATP synthetically inactive (or less active) state (Eh) in the absence of ADP and Pi. The N-ethylmaleimide pretreatment inhibits this process. In the postillumination dark, the reverse conversion takes place.

Studies were carried out to determine whether a simple electron-dense "heavy atom" like iodine could be introduced selectively into one or more of the subunits of the mitochondrial ATP synthase complex of rat liver. Surprisingly, very low amounts of iodine are incorporated into the isolated F1 moiety of this complex under conditions which result in a marked loss of catalytic activity. ATPase activity is inactivated in a concentration-dependent manner at pH 7.5 with half-maximal inactivation occurring at about 40 microM iodine. A maximum of only 10 atoms of iodine are incorporated per F1 molecule under conditions where inhibition of ATPase activity is linearly related to iodine incorporation. The molecular size of F1 after iodination is unchanged, indicating that inactivation is due to modification of essential amino acid residues rather than subunit dissociation. Treatment of F1, with 20-50 microM [125I]iodine followed sequentially by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography showed that the beta subunit is preferentially labeled. Significantly, about two atoms of iodine per beta subunit are incorporated. Some iodine amounting to less than 23% of the total radioactivity placed on the gels is recovered in the alpha and gamma subunits whereas no radioactivity is detected in the delta and epsilon subunits. Iodination of F1 appears to modify essential residues other than those involved in substrate or product binding per se. Thus, nucleotide binding to F1 is unaltered by iodine, and neither phosphate, MgADP, nor MgATP protects F1 against inhibition by this agent.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Liver mitochondria from rats fed ethanol chronically demonstrated a 35% decrease in mitochondrial ATPase activity. Moreover, the ATPase activity was inhibited only 61% by addition of oligomycin. Treatment of mitochondria from ethanol-fed rats with the detergent, Lubrol-WX, caused the release of 36% of the F1 from the resulting inner membrane particles. In comparison, only 5% of the F1 was dissociated when control mitochondria were subjected to the Lubrol treatment. However, when the units of ATPase activity from the supernatant and particles obtained after Lubrol treatment were added together, their sums were equivalent in preparations from control and ethanol-fed animals. Moreover, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analyses indicated equal amounts of the alpha + beta subunits of F1 in mitochondria from control and ethanol-fed rats. Reconstitution experiments with urea particles and F1 prepared from both control and ethanol mitochondria revealed a decrease in oligomycin sensitivity which could be attributed to an alteration in the functioning of either the oligomycin sensitivity conferring protein or a membrane sector subunit that interacts with oligomycin. Analysis by reconstitution also demonstrated that there were no ethanol-elicited alterations in the properties of the F1 portion of the ATP synthase complex. These observations indicate that the activity of the ATP synthase complex is altered significantly by ethanol-elicited changes in the functioning of those polypeptides involved in modulating both oligomycin sensitivity and the association of F1 with membrane sector subunits.

A 50-amino acid peptide predicted by chemical modification studies of F1 and by comparison with adenylate kinase to comprise part of an ATP-binding domain within the beta-subunit of mitochondrial ATP synthase has been synthesized and purified. In the numbering system used for bovine heart beta, the peptide consists of amino acid residues from aspartate 141 at the N-terminal end to threonine 190 at the carboxyl end. In Tris-Cl buffer, pH 7.4, the peptide undergoes a dramatic reaction with ATP resulting in precipitate formation. Analysis of the precipitate shows it to contain both peptide and ATP. Similar to the ATPase activity of F1 and the binding of nucleotide to the enzyme, the capacity of ATP to induce precipitation of the peptide is decreased markedly by lowering pH. Interaction of the peptide with the fluorescent ATP analog, TNP-ATP (2'(3')-O-(2,4-6-trinitrophenyl)-adenosine 5'-triphosphate), can be demonstrated in solution at low concentrations. A 7-fold enhancement in fluorescence is observed when 2.5 microM TNP-ATP interacts with 2.5 microM peptide. Divalent cation is neither required for ATP-induced precipitation of the peptide nor for demonstrating interaction between TNP-ATP and peptide, just as Mg2+ is not required for nucleotide binding to F1. These results indicate that the beta-subunit peptide studied here comprises at least part of a nucleotide-binding domain within the mitochondrial ATP synthase complex.
