The mitochondrial F1-ATPase is irreversibly inactivated by the adenine nucleotide analogue, p-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl-5'-adenosine. This inactivation is partly prevented by the presence of bound adenine nucleotides. Inactivations of the ATPase with p-fluorosulfonyl[14C]benzoyl-5'-adenosine were most efficiently accomplished with the nucleotide-free enzyme at pH 7.0, in a buffer containing 20% glycerol. Under these conditions, 4.2 g atoms of 14C are incorporated per 350,000 g of enzyme when the ATPase is inactivated by 90% by its reaction with 2 mM p-fluorosulfonyl[14C]benzoyl-5'-adenosine. Isolation of the component polypeptide chains of the labeled ATPase showed that all of the radioactivity was associated with the two largest subunits. The isolated alpha subunit contained 0.45 g atom of 14C/mol and the isolated beta subunit contained 0.88 g atom of 14C/mol. Hence, the inactivation can be correlated with the incorporation of 14C into the beta subunit. This suggests that the hydrolytic site of the enzyme resides on this subunit. The majority of the radioactivity in a tryptic digest of labeled beta subunit is contained ina tryptic peptide that has the following amino acid sequence: Ile-Met-Asp-Pro-Asn-Ile-Val-Gly-Ser-Glu-His-Tyr-Asp-Val-Ala-Arg, where Tyr is the radioactive derivative of the tyrosine residue that was sulfonylated during the inactivation.

The zero-length cross-link between the inhibitory epsilon subunit and one of three catalytic beta subunits of Escherichia coli F1-ATPase (alpha 3 beta 3 gamma delta epsilon), induced by a water-soluble carbodiimide, 1-ethyl-3-[(3-dimethylamino) propyl]-carbodiimide (EDC), has been determined at the amino acid level. Lability of cross-linked beta-epsilon to base suggested an ester cross-link rather than the expected amide. A 10-kDa cross-linked CNBr fragment derived from beta-epsilon was identified by electrophoresis on high percentage polyacrylamide gels. Sequence analysis of this peptide revealed the constituent peptides to be Asp-380 to Met-431 of beta and Glu-96 to Met-138 of epsilon. Glu-381 of beta was absent from cycle 2 indicating that it was one of the cross-linked residues, but no potential cross-linked residue in epsilon was identified in this analysis. A form of epsilon containing a methionine residue in place of Val-112 (epsilon V112M) was produced by site-directed mutagenesis. epsilon V112M was incorporated into F1-ATPase which was then cross-linked with EDC. An 8-kDa cross-linked CNBr fragment of beta-epsilon V112M was shown to contain the peptide of epsilon between residues Glu-96 and Met-112 and the peptide of beta between residues Asp-380 and Met-431. Again residue Glu-381 of beta was notably reduced and no missing residue from the epsilon peptide could be identified, but the peptide sequence limited the possible choices to Ser-106, Ser-107, or Ser-108. Furthermore, an epsilon mutant in which Ser-108 was replaced by cysteine could no longer be cross-linked to a beta subunit in F1-ATPase by EDC. Both mutant forms of epsilon supported growth of an uncC-deficient E. coli strain and inhibited F1-ATPase. These results indicate that the EDC-induced cross-link between the beta and epsilon subunits of F1-ATPase is an ester linkage between beta-Glu-381 and, likely, epsilon-Ser-108. As these residues must be located immediately adjacent to one another in F1-ATPase, our results define a site of subunit-subunit contact between beta and epsilon.

We introduced mutations to test the function of the conserved amino-terminal region of the gamma subunit from the Escherichia coli ATP synthase (F0F1-ATPase). Plasmid-borne mutant genes were expressed in an uncG strain which is deficient for the gamma subunit (gamma Gln-14-->end). Most of the changes, which were between gamma Ile-19 and gamma Lys-33, gamma Asp-83 and gamma Cys-87, or at gamma Asp-165, had little effect on growth by oxidative phosphorylation, membrane ATPase activity, or H+ pumping. Notable exceptions were gamma Met-23-->Arg or Lys mutations. Strains carrying these mutations grew only very slowly by oxidative phosphorylation. Membranes prepared from the strains had substantial levels of ATPase activity, 100% compared with wild type for gamma Arg-23 and 65% for gamma Lys-23, but formed only 32 and 17%, respectively, of the electrochemical gradient of protons. In contrast, other mutant enzymes with similar ATPase activities (including gamma Met-23-->Asp or Glu) formed H+ gradients like the wild type. Membranes from the gamma Arg-23 and gamma Lys-23 mutants were not passively leaky to protons and had functional F0 sectors. These results suggested that substitution by positively charged side chains at position 23 perturbed the energy coupling. The catalytic sites of the mutant enzymes were still regulated by the electrochemical H+ gradient but were inefficiently coupled to H+ translocation in both ATP-dependent H+ pumping and delta mu H+ driven ATP synthesis.

Antibodies were raised against a peptide of subunit c of the ATP synthase from Escherichia coli obtained by cleavage with cyanogen bromide. This peptide comprises the amino acid residues Gly-18 to Met-57 and contains the highly conserved, hydrophilic stretch of subunit c. Several conformation-specific populations of antibodies recognized this region both in isolated subunit c and in the intact F0 complex. In antibody binding studies with membrane vesicles of different orientations, recognition occurred only after incubation with everted membrane vesicles, independent of the presence or absence of F1, although a higher membrane protein concentration was necessary to observe the same antibody binding in the presence of the F1 part. From these results we conclude that the hydrophilic region of subunit c is exposed to the cytoplasmic side of the membrane.

The epitopes of two classes of monoclonal antibody and the binding site for the epsilon subunit have been mapped to the carboxyl-terminal region of the beta subunit of Escherichia coli F1-ATPase using partial CNBr cleavage, weak acid hydrolysis, and Western blots. One class of antibody, B-I, inhibits ATPase activity; the other class, B-II, recognizes an epitope not exposed on the surface of intact F1. Data from two-dimensional gels and blots of beta cleaved with CNBr/weak acid showed that the B-I epitope lies between Asp-381 and the carboxyl-terminal Leu-459, and the B-II epitope lies between Asp-345 and Met-380. Weak acid hydrolysis of the beta-epsilon product obtained by cross-linking F1 with a water-soluble carbodiimide yielded a fragment containing epsilon and a 13-kDa carboxyl-terminal fragment of beta indicating that epsilon interacts with this portion of beta as well. Fab fragments from the B-I antibody beta-6 could be cross-linked to the epsilon subunit in native F1 by various cross-linking agents demonstrating that the antibody and the epsilon subunit occupy adjacent, nonoverlapping sites on the beta subunit. Implications of these results for the roles of the epsilon subunit and of the carboxyl-terminal region of the beta subunit in F1 are discussed.

Three monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) recognizing distinct epitopes on the delta-subunit of beef heart mitochondrial F1-ATPase were studied for their reactivity towards the delta-subunit both in isolated F1 and in the F0-F1 complex of submitochondrial particles. Two of the antibodies termed mAb delta 195 and mAb delta 239 had free access to delta in F1 and the F0-F1 complex. Partial hindrance was observed for the third antibody mAb delta 22. By a double antibinding assay, it was found that the binding sites for mAb delta 195 and mAb delta 239 were close to each other and possibly overlapping. Mapping studies conducted with the isolated delta-subunit showed that mAb delta 195 and mAb delta 239 interacted with the N-terminal portion of delta extending from Ala-1 to Met-16, whereas mAb delta 22 interacted with the fragment spanning Ser-17-Glu-68. It was concluded that the Ala-1-Met-16 segment of the delta-subunit in F1 and the F0-F1 complex is freely accessible from the outside, whereas the Ser-17-Glu-68 segment of delta is partially hidden, possibly as a result of interactions with other subunits.

A site-directed mutation in the gene which codes for the c-subunit of the F1F0-ATPase, resulting in the substitution of Ala-25 by Tyr, has been constructed and characterized. A plasmid carrying the mutation was used to transform strain AN943 (uncE429). The resulting strain is unable to grow on succinate as sole carbon source and possesses an uncoupled growth yield. Membranes prepared from the mutant possess low levels of ATPase activity and are proton-impermeable. The F1-ATPase activity was found to be inhibited by 80% when bound to the membrane. When carried on a plasmid, the mutation is dominant in complementation tests with all mutant unc alleles tested and when transformed into wild-type strain AN346, the mutation results in an uncoupled phenotype. A mutant which overcomes this dominance was isolated and found to possess an 11-amino-acid deletion extending from Ile-55 to Met-65 within the c-subunit. These results are discussed in relation to the previously isolated Ala-25 to Thr mutant (Fimmel, A.L., Jans, D.A., Hatch, L., James, L.B., Gibson, F. and Cox, G.B. (1985) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 808, 252-258) and 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).

The nucleotide sequence of the yeast mitochondrial olil gene has been obtained in a series of mit- mutants with mutations in this gene, which codes for subunit 9 of of the mitochondrial ATPase complex. Subunit 9 is the proteolipid, 76 amino acids in length, necessary for the proton translocation function of the membrane Fo-sector. These mutants were classified on the basis of their rescue by a petite strain shown here to retain the entire wild-type olil gene. The mutation in one mit- strain removes a positively charged residue (Arg39----Met) which is likely to be located in a segment of subunit 9 that protrudes from the inner mitochondrial membrane. In a second mit- mutant, a negatively charged residue replaces a conserved glycine residue (Gly18----Asp) in a glycine-rich segment of the protein that is most likely embedded within the membrane. Other mit- mutations result in frameshifts with predicted products 7, 65 and 68 amino acid residues long. In each mit- mutant, there is the loss of one or more of the amino acid residues that are highly conserved among diverse species. The location and nature of specific changes pinpoint amino acid residues in subunit 9 essential to the activity of the mitochondrial ATPase complex.

When beef heart mitochondrial F1-ATPase is photoirradiated in the presence of 2-azido[alpha-32P]adenosine diphosphate, the beta subunit of the enzyme is preferentially photolabeled [Dalbon, P., Boulay, F., & Vignais, P. V. (1985) FEBS Lett. 180, 212-218]. The site of photolabeling of the beta subunit has been explored. After cyanogen bromide cleavage of the photolabeled beta subunit, only the peptide fragment extending from Gln-293 to Met-358 was found to be labeled. This peptide was isolated and digested by trypsin or Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease. Digestion by trypsin yielded four peptides, one of which spanned residues Ala-338-Arg-356 and contained all the bound radioactivity. When trypsin was replaced by V8 protease, a single peptide spanning residues Leu-342-Met-358 was labeled. Edman degradation of the two labeled peptides showed that radioactivity was localized on the following four amino acids: Leu-342, Ile-344, Tyr-345, and Pro-346.

One subunit of the membrane portion of yeast ATP synthase was purified. Structural data are reported. This subunit (subunit 4) is the fourth polypeptide of the complex when classifying subunits in order of decreasing molecular mass. Its apparent relative molecular mass is about 25,000. The polypeptide was extracted from the complex with a mixture of chloroform/methanol (1/1) and 0.5 M pyridinium acetate pH 6.0. Purification was performed with a combination of gel permeation chromatography on Sephadex G-75 and high-performance gel permeation chromatography with aqueous solvents containing 5% sodium dodecyl sulfate. The amino acid composition is reported here. The following sequence of the NH2-terminal ten residues was determined: Met-Ser-Ser-Thr-Pro-Glu-Lys-Gln-Thr-Asp.
