The activity of the lipid-depleted, oligomycin-sensitive mitochondrial ATPase has been measured in the presence of liposomes prepared from mixtures of phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol lysine. Enzyme activity increased linearly with an increase in the negative charge of liposomes prepared from the phosphatidylglycerol-phosphatidylglycerol lysine mixtures. The electrophoretic mobility and activating capacity of liposomes of several other phospholipids were determined. A linear relationship between electrophoretic mobility of the liposomes and oligomycin-sensitive activity was again apparent. These observations demonstrate that the activity of the ATPase is directly proportional to the ionic charge on phospholipid activators if the acyl chain composition of the phosphoglycerides is relatively constant.

A heat-stable protein has been purified from rat liver mitochondria which inhibits the ATP hydrolytic activity of both the soluble and membrane-bound mitochondrial F1-ATPase. The overall purification is about 2400-fold with the major purification step consisting of Sephadex "affinity" chromatography. The purified rat liver inhibitor is homogeneous as assessed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with an apparent molecular weight of 12,300. Amino acid analysis reveals a high content of glutamic acid, lysine, and arginine and the absence of cysteine, proline and methionine. Whether tested with the rat liver or bovine heart ATPase, the liver inhibitor is equally as potent and specific as the heart inhibitor preparation of Pullman and Monroy (Pullman, M.E., and Monroy, G.C. (1963) J. Biol. Chem. 238, 3762-3769). Although the results presented show that the rat liver ATPase inhibitor resembles closely the ATPase inhibitors from other tissues with respect to specific activity and reaction specificity, it is important to note that the rat liver inhibitor is almost 2000 daltons larger than the bovine heart inhibitor, about 5000 daltons larger than ATPase inhibitors of yeast, and contains significantly more lysine residues than both the bovine heart and yeast inhibitors.

During the inactivation of the nucleotide-free F1-ATPase at pH 7.0, by p-fluorosulfonyl[14C]benzoyl-5'-adenosine ([14C]FSBA) in the presence of 20% glycerol, about 4.5 g atoms of 14C are incorporated/350,000 g of enzyme. Isolation of the subunits has shown: (a) over 90% of the incorporated label is associated with the alpha and beta subunits; (b) the amount of label incorporated into the alpha subunit is about 0.5 g atoms/mol which is nonspecifically associated with a number of tyrosine and lysine residues; (c) the amount of radioactivity incorporated into the beta subunit is about 0.9 g atoms/mol which correlates with the degree of inactivation of the enzyme and resides on a single tyrosine residue; (d) up to 2.2 mol of alpha subunit have been isolated from each mole of inactivated enzyme; and (e) about 2 mol of beta subunit have been isolated from each mole of inactivated enzyme. These results account for the incorporation of 4.5 g atoms of 14C which are incorporated/mol of ATPase during inactivation if there are three copies each of the alpha and beta subunit present in the enzyme. It has also been shown that 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD-Cl) and FSBA react with different tyrosine residues when they inactivate the ATPase. In addition, it has been shown that the ATPase inactivated with FSBA retains the capacity to bind up to 2.2 mol of [14C]ADP/350,000 g of enzyme.

The beta-subunit of the mitochondrial ATP synthase complex comprises the bulk, if not all, of the catalytic nucleotide binding site on the enzyme. A region of homologous sequence rich in glycines (G) and containing a basic lysine (K) and a threonine (T) is found in the beta-subunit as well as many other purine nucleotide binding proteins. The consensus sequence of this region is Gx4GKT, where x represents any amino acid, and is called the A region or glycine-rich loop. The related function of these proteins implies that the glycine-rich loop is directly involved in nucleotide binding. Here we directly test the involvement of the beta-subunit's glycine-rich region in adenine nucleotide binding using two independent approaches. A synthetic fifty amino acid peptide, PP-50, containing the glycine-rich region and the surrounding sequence was assessed for secondary structure and interaction with potential ligands. Circular dichroism spectropolarimetry indicates that PP-50 assumes a predominantly beta-sheet conformation in solution. Significantly, the peptide precipitates from solution when ATP, ADP, GTP, ITP, and pyrophosphate are added, but not when AMP or phosphate are included. Magnesium is not required for the interaction with the purine nucleotides. Complimentary to these studies, the sequence around the Gx4GKT motif was deleted from a recombinant rat liver beta-subunit overexpressed in E. coli. While the wild type beta-subunit showed specificity for the tri- and diphosphonucleotides, the deletion mutant bound tri-, di-, and monophosphate nucleotides with equal affinity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The three beta subunits of the isolated Escherichia coli F1-ATPase react independently with chemical reagents (Stan-Lotter, H. and Bragg, P.D. (1986) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 284, 116-120). Thus, one beta subunit is readily cross-linked to the epsilon subunit, Another reacts with N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD), and the third one is modified on a lysine residue by 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan (NbfCl). The binding site for the ATP analog, 2-azido-ATP, was not associated with a specific type of beta subunit (Bragg, P.D. and Hou, C. (1989) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 974, 24-29). We now show that this binding site is a catalytic site as opposed to a noncatalytic nucleotide-binding site. NbfCl reacted with a tyrosine residue on the DCCD-reacting beta subunit in contrast to the different subunit location of the lysine residue labeled by the reagent. Thus, O to N transfer of the Nbf group in the free F1-ATPase involves transfer between subunits. The chemical labelling pattern of membrane-bound F1-ATPase differed from that of free F1. The strict asymmetry of labeling of the free F1-ATPase was not observed. Thus, double labeling of beta subunits by several reagents was found. This suggests that the asymmetry was not induced by chemical modification, but is inherent in the structure of the ATPase.

In a model proposed for the structure of the a-subunit of the Escherichia coli F0F1-ATPase (Howitt, S.M., Gibson, F. and Cox, G.B. (1988) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 936, 74-80), a cluster of charged residues, including one arginine and four aspartic acid residues, lie on the periplasmic side of the membrane. On the cytoplasmic side, three pairs of lysine residues and an arginine residue are present. Site-directed mutagenesis was used to investigate the roles of these residues. It was found that none was directly involved in the proton pore. However, the substitutions of Asp-124 or Asp-44 by asparagine or Arg-140 by glutamine had similar effects in that the membranes from such mutants from which the F1-ATPase was removed were proton-impermeable. A combination of the Asp-44 mutation with either the Asp-124 or Arg-140 mutations in the same strain resulted in complete loss of oxidative phosphorylation. It was tentatively concluded that Asp-124 and Arg-140 form a salt bridge, as did Asp-44 with an unknown residue, and these salt bridges were concerned with the maintenance of correct a-subunit structure. Further support for this conclusion was obtained when second site revertants of a Glu-219 to histidine mutant were found to have either histidine or leucine replacing Arg-140. Thus, the lack of the Asp-124/Arg-140 salt bridge might enable repositioning of the helices of the a-subunit such that His-219 becomes a functional component of the proton pore.

An endogenous ATPase inhibitor protein has been identified and isolated for the first time from plant mitochondria. The inhibitor protein was isolated from potato (Solanum tuberosum) tuber mitochondria and purified to homogeneity. The isolated inhibitor is a heat-stable, trypsin-sensitive, basic protein, with a molecular mass approximately 8.3 kDa. Amino acid analysis reveals a high content of glutamic acid, lysine and arginine and the absence of proline; threonine and leucine. The interaction of the inhibitor with F1-ATPase requires the presence of Mg2(+)-ATP in the incubation medium. The ATPase activity of isolated F1 is inhibited to 50% in the presence of 14 micrograms inhibitor/mg F1. A stoichiometry of 1.3 mol inhibitor/mol F1 for complete inhibition can be calculated from this value. The potato ATPase inhibitor is also a potent inhibitor of the ATPase activity of the isolated yeast F1. The inhibitor resembles the ATPase inhibitors of yeast and mammalian mitochondria, and does not seem to be related to the inhibitory peptide, epsilon subunit, of chloroplast ATPase.

Two point mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, previously found by recombination and complementation analysis to map in the chloroplast atpB gene encoding the beta subunit of the CF1/CF0 ATP synthase, are here shown to be missense alterations near the 5' end of that gene. One mutant (ac-u-c-2-9) has a change at amino acid position 47 of the beta subunit from leucine (CTA) to arginine (CGA). In the second mutant (ac-u-c-2-29), the codon AAA (lysine) is changed to AAC (asparagine) at position 154. Spontaneous revertants of each mutant were isolated that restore the original wild type base pair. Northern analysis of total RNA and in vivo pulse labeling followed by immunoprecipitation reveals that both mutant atpB genes are transcribed and translated normally. However, immunoblots show that the amount of beta subunit associated with mutant thylakoids is only approximately 3% of that seen in wild type and that the CF1 alpha and gamma subunits are missing entirely. The disruption of ATP synthase complex assembly in these mutants is much more severe than in Escherichia coli beta subunit gene point mutants, which retain significant amounts of alpha and beta subunits on their membranes (Noumi, T., Oka, N., Kanazawa, H., and Futai, M. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 7070-7075). These results support the hypothesis that there are differences in assembly of the ATP synthase between E. coli and chloroplasts. In particular they indicate that beta must be present for assembly of the alpha and gamma subunits of CF1 onto chloroplast membranes.

A tetrapetide containing an essential lysine residue chemically modified with the nitrobenzofurazan group has been purified from bovine heart mitochondrial ATPase. The composition of the peptide indicates that this lysine is residue 401 in the sequence of a beta chain. The modification was achieved by incubation at pH 9 of ATPase that had been previously labelled on a single essential tyrosine residue by reaction of the enzyme with 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan. The specific transfer of the nitrobenzofurazan group from the tyrosine residue to a particular lysine residue is consistent with the previously demonstrated intramolecular character of this transfer reaction.

The enzyme complex F1-ATPase has been isolated from bovine heart mitochondria by gel filtration of the enzyme released by chloroform from sub-mitochondrial particles. The five individual subunits alpha, beta, gamma, delta and epsilon that comprise the complex have been purified from it, and their amino acid sequences determined almost entirely by direct protein sequence analysis. A single overlap in the gamma-subunit was obtained by DNA sequence analysis of a complementary DNA clone isolated from a bovine cDNA library using a mixture of 32 oligonucleotides as the hybridization probe. The alpha, beta, gamma, delta and epsilon subunits contain 509, 480, 272, 146 and 50 amino acids, respectively. Two half cystine residues are present in the alpha-subunit and one in each of the gamma- and epsilon-chains; they are absent from the beta- and delta-subunits. The stoichiometry of subunits in the complex is estimated to be alpha 3 beta 3 gamma 1 delta 1 epsilon 1 and the molecular weight of the complex is 371,135. Mild trypsinolysis of the F1-ATPase complex, which has little effect on the hydrolytic activity of the enzyme, releases peptides from the N-terminal regions of the alpha- and beta-chains only; the C-terminal regions are unaffected. Sequence analysis of the released peptides demonstrates that the N terminals of the alpha- and beta-chains are ragged. In 65% of alpha-chains, the terminus is pyrrolidone carboxylic acid; in the remainder this residue is absent and the chains commence at residue 2, i.e. lysine. In the beta-subunit a minority of chains (16%) have N-terminal glutamine, or its deamidation product, glutamic acid (6%), or the cyclized derivative, pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (5%). A further 28% commence at residue 2, alanine, and 45% at residue 3, serine. The delta-chains also are heterogeneous; in 50% of chains the N-terminal alanine residue is absent. The sequences of the alpha- and beta-chains show that they are weakly homologous, as they are in bacterial F1-ATPases. The sequence of the bovine delta-subunit of F1-ATPase shows that it is the counterpart of the bacterial epsilon-subunit. The bovine epsilon-subunit is not related to any known bacterial or chloroplast H+-ATPase subunit, nor to any other known sequence. The counterpart of the bacterial delta-subunit is bovine oligomycin sensitivity conferral protein, which helps to bind F1 to the inner mitochondrial membrane.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
