The interaction of nucleotides and nucleotide analogues and their metal complexes with Mn2+ bound to both the latent and dithiothreitol-activated CF1 ATP synthase has been examined by means of steady-state kinetics, water proton relaxation rate (PRR) measurements, and 1H and 31P nuclear relaxation measurements. Titration of both the latent and activated Mn(2+)-CF1 complexes with ATP, ADP, Pi, Co(NH3)4ATP, Co(NH3)4ADP, and Co(NH3)4AMPPCP leads to increases in the water relaxation enhancement, consistent with enhanced metal binding and a high ternary complex enhancement. Steady-state kinetic studies are consistent with competitive inhibition of CF1 by Co(NH3)4AMPPCP with respect to CaATP. The data are consistent with a Ki for Co(NH3)4AMPPCP of 650 microM, in good agreement with a previous Ki of 724 microM for Cr(H2O)4ATP [Frasch, W., & Selman, B. (1982) Biochemistry 21, 3636-3643], and a best fit KD of 209 microM from the water PRR measurements. 1H and 31P nuclear relaxation measurements in solutions of CF1 and Co(NH3)4AMPPCP were used to determine the conformation of the bound substrate analogue and the arrangement with respect to this structure of high- and low-affinity sites for Mn2+. The bound nucleotide analogue adopts a bent conformation, with the low-affinity Mn2+ site situated between the adenine and triphosphate moieties and the high-affinity metal site located on the far side of the triphosphate chain. The low-affinity metal forms a distorted inner-sphere complex with the beta-P and gamma-P of the substrate. The distances from Mn2+ to the triphosphate chain are too large for first coordination sphere complexes but are appropriate for second-sphere complexes involving, for example, intervening hydrogen-bonded water molecules or residues from the protein.

1. The cytoplasmic membrane ionic current of cells of Rhodobacter capsulatus, washed to lower the endogenous K+ concentration, had a non-linear dependence on the membrane potential measured during photosynthetic illumination. Treatment of the cells with venturicidin, an inhibitor of the H(+)-ATP synthase, increased the membrane potential and decreased the membrane ionic current at values of membrane potential below a threshold. 2. The addition of K+ or Rb+, but not of Na+, led to an increase in the membrane ionic current and a decrease in the membrane potential in either the presence or absence of venturicidin. Approximately 0.4 mM K+ or 2.0 mM Rb+ led to a half-maximal response. At saturating concentrations of K+ and Rb+, the membrane ionic currents were similar. The membrane ionic currents due to K+ and Rb+ were not additive. The K(+)-dependent and Rb(+)-dependent ionic currents had a non-linear relationship with membrane potential: the alkali cations only increased the ionic current when the membrane potential lay above a threshold value. The presence of 1 mM Cs+ did not lead to an increase in the membrane ionic current but it had the effect of inhibiting the membrane ionic current due to either K+ or Rb+. 3. Photosynthetic illumination in the presence of either K+ or Rb+, and weak acids such as acetate, led to a decrease in light-scattering by the cells. This was attributed to the uptake of potassium or rubidium acetate and a corresponding increase in osmotic strength in the cytoplasm. 4. The addition of NH4+ also led to an increase in membrane ionic current and to a decrease in membrane potential (half-maximal at 2.0 mM NH4+). The relationship between the NH4(+)-dependent ionic currents and the membrane potential was similar to that for K+. The NH4(+)-dependent and K(+)-dependent ionic current were not additive. However, illumination in the presence of NH4+ and acetate did not lead to significant light-scattering changes. The NH4(+)-dependent membrane ionic current was inhibited by 1 mM Cs+ but not by 50 microM methylamine. 5. It is proposed that the K(+)-dependent membrane ionic current is catalysed by a low-affinity K(+)-transport system such as that described in Rb. capsulatus [Jasper, P. (1978) J. Bacteriol. 133, 1314-1322]. The possibility is considered that, as well as Rb+, this transport system can also operate with NH4+. However, in our experimental conditions NH4+ uptake is followed by NH3 efflux.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Bidentate cobalt(III)tetraamine adenosine triphosphate [Co(NH3)4ATP] was investigated as an inhibitor of the beef heart mitochondrial F1-ATPase. The compound was found to have a mixed noncompetitive mechanism with a Ki of 0.4 mM and an alpha of 1.4 during ATP hydrolysis. Co(NH3)4ATP also noncompetitively inhibited ATP hydrolysis in the presence of bicarbonate. ITP hydrolysis was similarly affected. Co(NH3)4ATP was also used in dual inhibitor studies with adenylylimidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP) and azide; it was found to be mutually exclusive with AMP-PNP and azide. The compound also protected the F1 from modification by 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan. These results are discussed in terms of the regulation of the ATP hydrolysis reaction.
