Monoclonal antibodies directed against epitopes on each of the five subunits (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon) of the Escherichia coli F1 ATPase (ECF1) have been prepared and used to localize the subunits in the enzyme complex. Fab' fragments, prepared by pepsin digestion of the antibodies, were bound to ECF1 and visualized by cryoelectron microscopy of the unstained, frozen hydrated ECF1-Fab' complexes. Besides aiding in the identification of the ECF1 subunits, addition of Fab's to the specimen fortuitously offers additional advantages in this technique. ECF1 labeled with anti-alpha Fab' is uniformly oriented in the amorphous ice layer, in contrast to unlabeled ECF1, which exhibits a multitude of projection views when examined in ice. Almost all complexes display a triangular projection, which image averaging reveals to be a hexagonal view of ECF1 with Fab' fragments labeling every other peripheral subunit, confirming the alternating arrangement of alpha and beta subunits in the enzyme. A density in the interior of the structure is positioned asymmetrically, adjacent to an unlabeled peripheral mass, indicating that its primary linkage is to a beta rather than an alpha subunit. The composition of the asymmetric density was explored by examining the trypsin-treated ECF1, taking advantage of the unique orientation induced by the binding of anti-alpha Fab'. Trypsin treatment releases the delta and epsilon subunits and cleaves the gamma subunit; the internal density is reduced but not eliminated, showing the contribution of the gamma subunit to the residual structure, and suggesting that the loss of the delta and epsilon subunits, or a structural rearrangement of the gamma subunit, is responsible for its smaller size.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

A purified ATPase associated with membranes from Halobacterium saccharovorum was compared with the F1 moiety from the Escherichia coli ATP synthase. The halobacterial enzyme was composed of two major (I and II) and two minor subunits (III and IV), whose molecular masses were 87 kDa, 60 kDa, 29 kDa and 20 kDa, respectively. The isoelectric points of these subunits ranged from 4.1 to 4.8, which in the case of the subunits I and II was consistent with the presence of an excess of acidic amino acids (20-22 mol/100 mol). Peptide mapping of subunits I and II denatured with sodium dodecyl sulfate showed no relationship between the primary structures of the individual halobacterial subunits or similarities to the subunits of the F1 ATPase from E. coli. Trypsin inactivation of the halobacterial ATPase was accompanied by the partial degradation of the major subunits. This observation, taken in conjunction with molecular masses of the subunits and the native enzyme, was consistent with the previously proposed stoichiometry of 2:2:1:1. These results suggest that H. saccharovorum, and possibly, halobacteria in general, possess an ATPase which is unlike the ubiquitous F0F1 ATP synthase.

The (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase (Ca2+-transporting), EC 3.6.1.38) protein of rabbit skeletal sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) rapidly incorporated 2 mol of 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD-Cl) per 10(5) g of protein with little change in the Ca2+-dependent ATPase activity. When 2 additional mol of the reagent were bound the Ca2+-ATPase, activity was inhibited. The same pattern was found for modified intact SR and the Ca2+ uptake ability was inhibited. MgATP, CaATP and MgADP protected the Ca2+-ATPase activity concurrent with a decrease of about 1 mol of the NBD group per 10(5) g protein, but the Ca2+ uptake ability was not protected. Calcium alone had no effect on the modification. The modified ATPase protein or SR formed non-serial oligomers or aggregates, but the ATPase protein remained the predominant species present. In the presence of MgATP, oligomer formation was reduced partially but the major changes in the Ca2+-ATPase activity were due to the modification of the ATPase monomer. Thiolysis of the NBD-ATPase protein with dithiothreitol did not restore the Ca2+-ATPase activity, although more than 1 mol of the NBD group was removed from cysteine residues. Cysteine residues were modified in the NBD-ATPase protein or SR when the enzyme activity was inhibited. Trypsin digestion of NBD-SR or its ATPase protein released the A, B, A1, and A2 fragments. The A fragment and its subfragment A2 contained most of the label. Substrate MgATP protection studies showed that the A1 and A2 fragments were involved in maintaining the Ca2+-ATPase activity. Reagent-induced conformational changes of these fragments rather than direct active site group labeling accounted for the loss of ATPase activity.

The Mg2+-ATPase activity of Acanthamoeba myosin IA is activated by F-actin only when the myosin heavy chain is phosphorylated at a single residue. In order to gain insight into the conformational changes that may be responsible for the effects of F-actin and phosphorylation on myosin I ATPase, we have studied their effects on the proteolysis of the myosin IA heavy chain by trypsin. Trypsin initially cleaves the unphosphorylated, 140-kDa heavy chain of Acanthamoeba myosin IA at sites 38 and 112 kDa from its NH2 terminus and secondarily at sites 64 and 91 kDa from the NH2 terminus. F-actin has no effect on tryptic cleavage at the 91- and 112-kDa sites, but does protect the 38-kDa site and the 64-kDa site. Phosphorylation (which occurs very near the 38-kDa site) has no detectable effect on the tryptic cleavage pattern in the absence of F-actin or on F-actin protection of the 64-kDa site, but significantly enhances F-actin protection of the 38-kDa site. Protection of the 64-kDa site is probably due to direct steric blocking because F-actin binds to this region of the heavy chain. The protection of the 38-kDa site by F-actin may be the result of conformational changes in this region of the heavy chain induced by F-actin binding near the 64-kDa site and by phosphorylation. The conformational changes in the heavy chain of myosin IA that are detected by alterations in its susceptibility to proteolysis are likely to be related to the conformational changes that are involved in the phosphorylation-regulated actin-activated Mg2+-ATPase activities of Acanthamoeba myosins IA and IB.

Mild trypsin proteolysis of the H+-ATPase from yeast plasma membranes has been used to identify structurally distinct catalytic intermediates. In the absence of substrate, trypsin treatment resulted in rapid inactivation of enzyme activity. By contrast, trypsin treatment of enzyme in the presence of MgATP or MgATP plus vanadate resulted in enhanced rates of ATP hydrolysis accompanied by protection from extensive inactivation. High concentrations of Pi also induced strong protection from trypsin-induced inactivation, although enhancement of enzyme activity was not observed. Western blot analysis of peptide fragment profiles following tryptic digestion indicated that at least 15 prominent fragments of identical size, ranging from Mr = 12,800 to 48,000, were generated irrespective of digestion conditions. However, fragments from protected enzyme were resistant to further proteolysis, whereas fragments from unprotected enzyme were extensively degraded. These data have been interpreted in terms of a published catalytic reaction pathway (Amory, A., Goffeau, A., McIntosh, D.B., and Boyer, P.D. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 12509-12516) and are consistent with unprotected and protected enzyme conformations representing E1 and E2 X Pi catalytic intermediates, respectively. Trypsin proteolysis proved an effective tool for evaluating preferred enzyme conformational states and with this approach, it was found that ATPase inhibitors N-ethylmaleimide and fluorescein isothiocyanate locked the enzyme in an E1 conformation. The enhanced rate of ATP hydrolysis by trypsin-treated enzyme was fully coupled to proton transport, and all fragments generated by proteolysis were firmly bound to the membrane. These results, coupled with the fact that initial peptide fragmentation profiles were independent of enzyme conformation, suggest that the different conformational states, E1, and E2 X Pi, are not related to gross changes in overall enzyme structure but likely reflect localized changes in intramolecular bonding.

The isolated and membrane-bound forms of the adenosinetriphosphatase of Escherichia coli (ECF1 and ECF1F0, respectively) have been reacted with two lysine-specific reagents, sodium hexadecyl 4-[3H]formylphenyl phosphate (HFPP) and sodium methyl 4-[3H]formylphenyl phosphate (MFPP), and with the photoreactive reagent 1,2-[3H]dipalmitoyl-sn-glycerol 3-[[[(4-azido-2-nitrophenyl)amino]ethyl]-phosphate] (arylazidoPE). HFPP and arylazidoPE are amphipathic molecules, inserting by their hexadecyl moieties (one and two chains, respectively) into the lipid bilayer, with the reactive groups intercalated among the phospholipid head groups. MFPP is the water-soluble analogue of HFPP. The labeling patterns of ECF1F0 obtained with HFPP and arylazidoPE were very similar; in both cases the a and b subunits of the F0 part were the most heavily labeled polypeptides of the complex. Models of subunit a, arranged in six transmembrane helices, place most of the lysines in the head-group region, available for reaction with HFPP. Subunits alpha and beta of the ECF1 part were very poorly labeled in comparison to the a and b subunits, together incorporating only 4% as much HFPP and 7.5% as much arylazidoPE as the two F0 subunits together on a protein mass basis. Trypsin cleavage studies localized any labeling of the alpha subunit by arylazidoPE to the N-terminal 15 residues of this polypeptide. When MFPP was used, the alpha and beta subunits were very much more reacted than the F0 subunits. This implies that most of the mass of the alpha and beta subunits in ECF1F0 is above the membrane and not in contact with the bilayer surface.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Trypsin cleavage has been used to probe structure-function relationships of the Escherichia coli ATP synthase (ECF1F0). Trypsin cleaved all five subunits, alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon, in isolated ECF1. Cleavage of the alpha subunit involved the removal of the N-terminal 15 residues, the beta subunit was cleaved near the C-terminus, the gamma subunit was cleaved near Ser202, and the delta and epsilon subunits appeared to be cleaved at several sites to yield small peptide fragments. Trypsin cleavage of ECF1 enhanced the ATPase activity between 6- and 8-fold in different preparations, in a time course that followed the cleavage of the epsilon subunit. This removal of the epsilon subunit increased multisite ATPase activity but not unisite ATPase activity, showing that the inhibitory role of the epsilon subunit is due to an effect on cooperativity. The detergent lauryldimethylamine oxide was found to increase multisite catalysis and also increase unisite catalysis more than 2-fold. Prolonged trypsin cleavage left a highly active ATPase containing only the alpha and beta subunits along with two fragments of the gamma subunit. All of the subunits of ECF1 were cleaved by trypsin in preparations of ECF1F0 at the same sites as in isolated ECF1. Two subunits, the beta and epsilon subunits, were cleaved at the same rate in ECF1F0 as in ECF1 alone. The alpha, gamma, and delta subunits were cleaved significantly more slowly in ECF1F0.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Trypsin cleaves the Ca2+-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum into two major fragments (A and B), followed by subsequent cleavage into smaller peptides. Although the ATP-dependent Ca2+ transport is still observed after cleavage of the ATPase into the A and B fragments, the Ca2+ transport energized by acetyl phosphate is strongly inhibited. Covalent labeling of the Ca2+-ATPase by fluorescein 5'-isothiocyanate inhibited both the ATP and acetyl phosphate-dependent Ca2+ transport. Vanadate protected the A and B fragments from further hydrolysis and preserved the ability of the cleaved Ca2+-ATPase to form crystals and to show the characteristic conformational changes in response to Ca2+ and EGTA that are observed with the intact enzyme. The protective effect of vanadate may be useful for the isolation of the A and B fragments in functional form.

Eukaryotic plasma membranes contain three Ca-transporting systems: a Ca channel, an ATPase, and an Na/Ca exchanger. The ATPase is high-affinity, low-capacity system, which continuously pumps Ca out of cells. The Na/Ca exchanger is a low-affinity, high-capacity system, which is particularly active in excitable cells. The exchanger probably functions in both the Ca efflux and influx directions. The Ca-ATPase is a single polypeptide of Mr 138 kD, which is activated by calmodulin or, in its absence, by acidic phospholipids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and limited proteolytic treatments. Trypsin produces a number of fragments, some of which (Mr 90, 85, and 81 kD) function as ATPases and transport Ca across reconstituted bilayer membranes. Trypsin proteolysis in the presence of different effectors has permitted us to locate the calmodulin-interacting domain of the enzyme in a 9-kD peripheral sequence that consists of a 4-kD calmodulin-binding subdomain and a subdomain of Mr 5 kD, which is essential for the expression of calmodulin stimulation. The Na/Ca exchanger of plasma membranes has not yet been identified with certainty. On the basis of purification attempts using different approaches, probable Mr's of 82, 70, or 33 kD have been proposed. Antibodies raised against the 33-kD protein partially inhibit the exchange activity of heart sarcolemma vesicles. They interact with the 33-kD protein, but also, under nonreducing conditions, with proteins of Mr approximately 70 and approximately 140 kD. Under reducing conditions, the reactivity with the latter component disappears. It is suggested that the monomeric Mr of the exchanger is 33 kD, and that intermolecular disulfide bridges associate monomers into dimeric and tetrameric forms.

Trypsin treatment of N-[p-(2-benzimidazolyl)phenyl]maleimide modified enzyme caused a marked reduction in Na+,K+-ATPase activity and in the amount of the alpha-chain, which contains the phosphorylation and ouabain binding sites. However, these preparations retained nearly 90% of the ouabain binding capacity and showed ouabain sensitive dynamic fluorescence changes accompanying the hydrolysis of ATP. The data showed that the three dimensional structure of Na+,K+-ATPase, which is important in the dynamic fluorescence change, is little affected in spite of extensive covalent bond splitting in the alpha-chain of Na+,K+-ATPase.
