The latent coupling factor (F1)-ATPase of Micrococcus lysodeikticus has been purified to homogeneity as determined by a number of criteria including, nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, crossed immunoelectrophoresis and analytical ultracentrifugation. By inclusion of 1 mM phenylmethyl sulfonyl fluoride, a serine protease inhibitor, in the shock-wash step of release of F1 from the membranes, the spontaneous activation of both crude and purified ATPase by endogenous membrane protease(s) can be prevented, thereby yielding a highly latent ATPase preparation. Equilibrium ultracentrifugation of the latent ATPase gave a molecular weight of 400 000. The ATPase contained five different subunits alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and espsilon and their molecular weights determined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were 60 000, 54 000, 37 000, 27 000 and 9000, respectively. The subunit composition was determined with 14C-labelled, F1-ATPase prepared from cells grown on medium containing [U-14C]-labelled algal protein hydrolysate. Within the limitations of this method the results tentatively suggest a subunit composition of 3 : 3 : 1 : 1 : 3.

(1) Extensive studies on proton-translocating ATPase (H+-ATPase) revealed that H+-ATPase is an energy transforming device universally distributed in membranes of almost all kinds of cells. (2) Crystallization of the catalytic portion (F1) of H+-ATPase showed that F1 is a hexagonal molecule with a central hole. The diameter of F1 is about 90 A and its molecular weight is about 380,000. (3) Use of thermophilic F1 permits the complete reconstitution of F1 from its five subunits (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon) and demonstration of the gate function of the gamma delta epsilon-complex, the catalytic function of beta (supported by alpha and gamma), and the H+-translocating functions of all five subunits. (4) Studies using purified thermostable F0 showed that F0 is an H+-channel portion of H+-ATPase. The direct measurement of H+-flux through F0, sequencing of DCCD-binding protein, and isolation of F1-binding protein are described. (5) The subunit stoichiometry of F1 may be alpha 3 beta 3 gamma delta epsilon. (6) Reconstitution of stable H+-ATPase-liposomes revealed that ATP is directly synthesized by the flow of H+ driven by an electrochemical potential gradient and that H+ is translocated by ATP hydrolysis. This rules out functions for all the hypothetical components that do not belong to H+-ATPase in H+-driven ATP synthesis. The roles of conformation change and other phenomena in ATP synthesis are also discussed.

An oligomycin-sensitive F1F0-ATPase isolated from bovine heart mitochondria has been reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles and pumps protons. this preparation of F1F0-ATPase contains 14 different polypeptides that are resolved by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under denaturing conditions, and so it is more complex than bacterial and chloroplast enzymes, which have eight or nine different subunits. The 14 bovine subunits have been characterized by protein sequence analysis. They have been fractionated on polyacrylamide gels and transferred to poly(vinylidene difluoride) membranes, and N-terminal sequences have been determined in nine of them. By comparison with known sequences, eight of these have been identified as subunits beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon, which together with the alpha subunit form the F1 domain, as the b and c (or DCCD-reactive) subunits, both components of the membrane sector of the enzyme, and as the oligomycin sensitivity conferral protein (OSCP) and factor 6 (F6), both of which are required for attachment of F1 to the membrane sector. The sequence of the ninth, named subunit e, has been determined and is not related to any reported protein sequence. The N-terminal sequence of a tenth subunit, the membrane component A6L, could be determined after a mild acid treatment to remove an alpha-N-formyl group. Similar experiments with another membrane component, the a or ATPase-6 subunit, caused the protein to degrade, but the protein has been isolated from the enzyme complex and its position on gels has been unambiguously assigned. No N-terminal sequence could be derived from three other proteins. The largest of these is the alpha subunit, which previously has been shown to have pyrrolidonecarboxylic acid at the N terminus of the majority of its chains. The other two have been isolated from the enzyme complex; one of them is the membrane-associated protein, subunit d, which has an alpha-N-acetyl group, and the second, surprisingly, is the ATPase inhibitor protein. When it is isolated directly from mitochondrial membranes, the inhibitor protein has a frayed N terminus, with chains starting at residues 1, 2, and 3, but when it is isolated from the purified enzyme complex, its chains are not frayed and the N terminus is modified. Previously, the sequences at the N terminals of the alpha, beta, and delta subunits isolated from F1-ATPase had been shown to be frayed also, but in the F1F0 complex they each have unique N-terminal sequences.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The F1 complex of the ATP synthase of Streptomyces lividans was isolated and purified. The procedure involved the solubilization of F1 from membranes with buffer of low ionic strength in the presence of EDTA, ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration. The purified F1 complex from S. lividans (SLF1) consists of five subunits alpha, beta, gamma, delta and epsilon with molecular masses of 58,000, 50,000, 36,000, 28,000 and 13,000, respectively and exhibits immunological cross-reactivity with the F1 portion purified from Escherichia coli (ECF1). The enzymatic properties of SLF1 were determined by the use of microtiter-plate-based assay and compared with data obtained for ECF1. ATPase activity of SLF1 (specific activity: 20-30 U/mg) was only observed in the presence of high concentrations of Ca2+ (10mM). Stimulation of the ATPase activity by Mg2+ was not detectable; quite to the contrary, Mg2+ inhibited the Ca(2+)-stimulated activity of SLF1. SLF1 was re-bound to F1-stripped membranes of S. lividans, but not to F1-stripped membrane vesicles of E. coli. In contrast, ECF1 could be cross-reconstituted with F1-stripped membranes of S. lividans; however, a structural but not a functional reconstitution of the hybrid F1Fo complex was observed.

Mitochondrial F1-ATPase was purified from the mycelium of Phycomyces blakesleeanus NRRL 1555(-) and its kinetic characteristics were studied. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the enzyme reveals five bands (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon) characteristic of the F1 portion with apparent molecular weights of 60,000, 53,000, 31,000, 25,000, and 21,000, respectively. The molecular weight of the native F1-ATPase from Phycomyces blakesleeanus was in agreement with the stoichiometry alpha 3 beta 3 gamma delta epsilon. The MgATP complex is the true substrate for ATPase activity which has a Km value of 0.15 mM. High concentrations of free ATP or free Mg2+ ions inhibit the ATPase activity. ADP appears to act as a negative allosteric effector with regard to MgATP hydrolysis, with the apparent Vmax remaining unchanged.

An ATPase from anaerobic Lactobacillus casei has been isolated and 100-times purified. The 400 kDa enzyme molecule was found to have a hexagonal structure 10 nm in diameter composed of at least six protein masses. SDS-electrophoresis reveals four or, under certain conditions, five types of subunit, of apparent molecular masses 57 (alpha), 55 (beta), 40 (gamma), 22 (delta) and 14 (epsilon) kDa with stoichiometry of 3 alpha, 3 beta, gamma, delta, epsilon. The following features resembling F1-ATPases from other sources were found to be inherent in the solubilized L. casei ATPase. (i) Detachment from the membrane desensitizes ATPase to low DCCD concentrations and sensitizes it to water-soluble carbodiimide. (ii) Soluble ATPase is inhibited by Nbf chloride and azide, is resistant to SH-modifiers and is activated by sulfite and octyl glucoside, the activating effect being much stronger than in the case of the membrane-bound ATPase. Substrate specificity of the enzyme is also similar to that of other factors F1. Divalent cations strongly activate the soluble enzyme when added at a concentration equal to that of ATP. An excess of Mn2+, Mg2+ or Co2+ inhibits ATPase activity of F1, whereas that of Ca2+ induces its further activation. No other F1-like ATPases are found in L. casei. It is concluded that this anaerobic bacterium possesses a typical F1-ATPase similar to those in mitochondria, chloroplasts, aerobic and photosynthetic eubacteria.

The F1 portion of H(+)-translocating ATPase as purified from membrane vesicles of Vibrio parahaemolyticus by a rapid procedure. The whole purification process (from culture of cells to purification of the enzyme) could be completed in 1 day. The F1-ATPase consists of five subunits (alpha, beta, gamma, delta and epsilon) like F1 of Escherichia coli and other microorganisms. The F1-ATPase of V. parahaemolyticus showed some interesting properties. Its activity was greatly stimulated by high concentrations (about 0.5 M) of SO4(2-), SO3(2-) and CH3COO-, their effects decreasing in this order. Among the anions tested, Cl- and NO3- were ineffective, or rather inhibitory, and cations had no significant effects. Ethanol (or methanol) stimulated the activity 2- to 3-fold. The activity was inhibited by 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene 2,2'-disulfonate (SITS) (an anion exchanger inhibitor), tetrachlorosalicylanilide (TCS) (an H+ conductor), azide and N-ethylmaleimide. Zinc inhibited the activity only slightly, although it strongly inhibited the ATPase activity in membrane vesicles.

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have been made against each of the five subunits of ECF1 (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon), and these have been used in topology studies and for examination of the role of individual subunits in the functioning of the enzyme. All of the mAbs obtained reacted with ECF1, while several failed to react with ECF1F0, including three mAbs against the gamma subunit (gamma II, gamma III, and gamma IV), one mAb against delta, and two mAbs against epsilon (epsilon I and epsilon II). These topology data are consistent with the gamma, delta, and epsilon subunits being located at the interface between the F1 and F0 parts of the complex. Two forms of ECF1 were used to study the effects of mAbs on the ATPase activity of the enzyme: ECF1 with the epsilon subunit tightly bound and acting to inhibit activity and ECF1* in which the delta and epsilon subunits had been removed by organic solvent treatment. ECF1* had an ATPase activity under standard conditions of 93 mumol of ATP hydrolyzed min-1 mg-1, cf. an activity of 7.5 units mg-1 for our standard ECF1 preparation and 64 units mg-1 for enzyme in which the epsilon subunit had been removed by trypsin treatment. The protease digestion of ECF1* reduced activity to 64 units mg-1 in a complicated process involving an inhibition of activity by cleavage of the alpha subunit, activation by cleavage of gamma, and inhibition with cleavage of the beta subunit. mAbs to the gamma subunit, gamma II and gamma III, activated ECF1 by 4.4- and 2.4-fold, respectively, by changing the affinity of the enzyme for the epsilon subunit, as evidenced by density gradient centrifugation experiments. The gamma-subunit mAbs did not alter the ATPase activity of ECF1*- or trypsin-treated enzyme. The alpha-subunit mAb (alpha I) activated ECF1 by a factor of 2.5-fold and ECF1F0 by 1.3-fold, but inhibited the ATPase activity of ECF1* by 30%.

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.

The F1F0-ATP synthase from the alkaliphilic Bacillus firmus OF4 was purified in a reconstitutively active form, in good yield and with a high specific ATPase activity when appropriately activated. The purification procedure involved octyl glucoside extraction of washed membrane vesicles in the presence of 20% glycerol and asolectin followed by ammonium sulfate fractionation and sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The purified preparation was resolved into seven bands by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, corresponding to the five F1 subunits, alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon, and to the b and c subunits of the F0. Two-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-poly-acrylamide gel analysis revealed a candidate for the alpha subunit of F0. The MgATPase activity of B. firmus OF4 F1F0 was barely detectable but could be stimulated, optimally more than 100-fold, by sulfite, methanol, and octyl thioglucoside. The enzyme was inhibited by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and sodium azide, but not by aurovertin, an inhibitor of the F1 from Escherichia coli. The F1F0 reconstituted into proteoliposomes catalyzed ATPase activity, ATP-Pi exchange, and ATP-dependent delta pH and delta psi formation. ATP hydrolysis was stimulated by protonophores while the other activities were abolished by protonophores. These activities were neither dependent on added sodium ions nor significantly affected by them. F1F0 proteoliposomes made from crude octyl glucoside extracts that also contained the Na+/H+ antiporter were shown to catalyze ATP-dependent Na+ uptake that was completely sensitive to carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl-hydrazone; Na+ uptake activity was absent in proteoliposomes containing more purified F1F0 but lacking the Na+/H+ antiporter. These data show that the F1F0 translocates protons and does not substitute Na+ for H+ in energy coupling.
