The epitope of the monoclonal antibody 20D6 was localized by N-terminal sequencing of the smallest immunoreactive peptides obtained after CNBr and trypsin cleavage of the F1 alpha subunit of the mitochondrial ATPase/ATP synthase. Immunochemical analysis of overlapping synthetic octapeptides, covering the immunoreactive peptide sequence, has defined the seven-amino-acid sequence recognized by 20D6 as 84EGDIVKR90. The binding of 20D6 was lost after substituting either I87 by K or S, or R90 by C or A as it occurs in the alpha subunit sequence of Escherichia coli or chloroplast ATPase, respectively. This explained the lack of immunoreactivity of 20D6 to these species and indicated the importance of charged as well as hydrophobic residues in the epitope. Immunochemical analysis of synthetic peptides by polyclonal anti-F1 antisera showed that this region is highly immunodominant. In a competitive ELISA, the monoclonal antibody bound with similar affinity to F1 in the presence and absence of substrate as well as to cold dissociated F1, indicating that the epitope was located on the surface of the alpha subunit and not buried between F1 subunits. The lack of binding of 20D6 when F1 is bound to the membrane showed that the epitope exposed at the surface of purified soluble F1 became masked after binding to the membrane. This suggests that it is located at the interface between F1 and the membrane.

The rate of trypsin cleavage of the epsilon subunit of Escherichia coli F1 (ECF1) has been found to be ligand-dependent, as measured indirectly by the activation of the enzyme that occurs on protease digestion, or when followed directly by monitoring the cleavage of this subunit using monoclonal antibodies. The cleavage of the epsilon subunit was fast in the presence of ADP alone, ADP + MG2+, ATP + EDTA, or AMP-PNP, but slow when Pi was added along with ADP + Mg2+ or when ATP + Mg2+ was added to generate ADP + Pi (+Mg2+) in the catalytic site(s). The half-maximal concentration of Pi required in the presence of ADP + Mg2+ to protect the epsilon subunit from cleavage by trypsin was 50 microM, which is in the range measured for the high-affinity binding of Pi to F1. The ligand-dependent conformational changes in the epsilon subunit were also examined in cross-linking experiments using the water-soluble carbodiimide 1-ethyl-3-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]carbodiimide (EDC). In the presence of ATP + Mg2+ or ADP + Mg2+ + Pi, the epsilon subunit cross-linked to beta in high yield. With ATP + EDTA or ADP + Mg2+ (no Pi), the yield of the beta-epsilon cross-linked product was much reduced. We conclude that the epsilon subunit undergoes a conformational change dependent on the presence of Pi. It has been found previously that binding of the epsilon subunit to ECF1 inhibits ATPase activity by decreasing the off rate of Pi [Dunn, S. D., Zadorozny, V. D., Tozer, R. G., & Orr, L. E. (1987) Biochemistry 26, 4488-4493]. This reciprocal relationship between Pi binding and epsilon-subunit conformation has important implications for energy transduction by the E. coli ATP synthase.

Studies with a synthetic presequence peptide, F1 beta 1-20, corresponding to the NH2-terminal 20 amino acids of the F1-ATPase beta-subunit precursor (pF1 beta) show that although this peptide binds avidly to phospholipid bi-layers it does not efficiently compete for import of full-length precursor into mitochondria, Ki approximately 100 microM (Hoyt, D.W., Cyr, D.M., Gierasch, L.M., and Douglas, M.G. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 21693-21699). Herein we report that longer F1 beta presequence peptides F1 beta 1-32 + 2, F1 beta 1-32SQ + 2, and F1 beta 21-51 + 3 compete for mitochondrial import at 1000-, 250-, and 25-fold lower concentrations, respectively, than F1 beta 1-20. A longer peptide, F1 beta 1-51 + 3, was no more effective as an import competitor than F1 beta 1-32 + 2. Both minimal length and amphiphilic character appear required in order for F1 beta peptides to block mitochondrial import. Import competition by longer F1 beta peptides seems to occur at a step common to all precursors since they blocked import of precursors to F1-ATPase alpha- and beta-subunits and the ADP/ATP carrier protein. Dissipation of membrane potential (delta psi) across the inner mitochondrial membrane is observed in the presence of F1 beta-peptides, but this mechanism alone does not account for the observed import inhibition. F1 beta 1-32 + 2 and 21-51 + 3 block import of pF1 beta 100% at peptide concentrations which dissipate delta psi less than 25%. In contrast, experiments with valinomycin demonstrate that when mitochondrial delta psi is reduced 25% import of pF1 beta is inhibited only 25%. Therefore, at least 75% of maximal import inhibition observed in the presence of F1 beta 1-32 + 2 and F1 beta 21-51 + 3 does not result from dissipation of delta psi. Import inhibition by F1 beta-peptides is reversible and can be overcome by increasing the amount of full-length precursor in import reactions. F1 beta presequence peptides and full-length precursor are therefore likely to compete for a common import step. Presequence dependent binding of pF1 beta to trypsin-sensitive elements on the outer mitochondrial membrane is insensitive to inhibitory concentrations of F1 beta presequence peptide. We conclude that import inhibition by F1 beta presequence peptides is competitive and occurs at a site beyond initial interaction of precursor proteins with mitochondria.

We have studied the import of the precursor to yeast cytochrome c oxidase subunit Va, a protein of the mitochondrial inner membrane. Like the majority of mitochondrial precursor proteins studied thus far, import of presubunit Va was dependent upon both a membrane potential (delta psi) and the hydrolysis of ATP. However, the levels of ATP necessary for the import of presubunit Va were significantly lower than those required for the import of a different mitochondrial precursor protein, the beta subunit of the F1-ATPase. The rate of import of presubunit Va was found to be unaffected by temperature over the range 0 to 30 degrees C, and was not facilitated by prior denaturation of the protein. These results, in conjunction with those of an earlier study demonstrating that presubunit Va could be efficiently targeted to mitochondria with minimal presequences, suggest that the subunit Va precursor normally exists in a loosely folded conformation. Presubunit Va could also be imported into mitochondria that had been pretreated with high concentrations of trypsin or proteinase K (1 mg/ml and 200 micrograms/ml, respectively). Furthermore, the rate of import into trypsin-treated mitochondria, at both 0 and 30 degrees C, was identical to that observed with the untreated organelles. Thus, import of presubunit Va is not dependent upon the function of a protease-sensitive surface receptor. When taken together, the results of this study suggest that presubunit Va follows an unusual import pathway. While this pathway uses several well-established translocation steps, in its entirety it is distinct from either the receptor-independent pathway used by apocytochrome c, or the more general pathway used by a majority of mitochondrial precursor proteins.

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.

The nearest neighbor relationships of bovine mitochondrial H(+)-ATPase subunits were investigated by the chemical cross-linking approach using the homobifunctional cleavable reagents dithiobis(succinimidyl propionate) and disuccinimidyl tartrate. Cross-linked proteins were resolved by one- and two-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Individual subunits were detected by silver staining or by Western blotting and staining with subunit-specific antisera. Products larger than 80,000 daltons were not analyzed. Interactions between F1 subunits included cross-links between gamma and delta as well as gamma and epsilon subunits. Among F0 subunit interactions were observed cross-links of (i) coupling factor 6 (F6) with 8-, 20-, and 24-kDa proteins, (ii) oligomycin sensitivity-conferring protein (OSCP) with 24-kDa protein, and (iii) 20-kDa protein with 24-kDa protein. In addition, several cross-links among subunits involving F1 and F0 sectors were detected. These included cross-links between F6 and alpha, F6 and gamma, OSCP and alpha/beta, and 24-kDa protein and alpha/beta. Thus, OSCP, F6, and the 24-kDa protein were found to form cross-links with both F1 and F0 subunits. The surface accessibility of F0 subunits was investigated by subjecting aliquots of F0 to trypsin treatment. Our data demonstrated that the rate of degradation was in the order OSCP greater than 24-kDa protein greater than or equal to F6 greater than subunit 6. The degradation of subunits of F0 was prevented in intact or reconstituted F1-F0. Based on our present and previously published observations, a model of H(+)-ATPase has been proposed wherein OSCP, F6, and the 24-kDa protein are placed in the stalk region and the alpha and beta subunits of F1-ATPase have been extended down to the membrane surface to enclose the stalk segment.

The yeast mitochondrial outer membrane contains a major 70 kd protein with an amino-terminal hydrophobic membrane anchor and a hydrophilic 60 kd domain exposed to the cytosol. We now show that this protein (which we term MAS70) accelerates the mitochondrial import of many (but not all) precursor proteins. Anti-MAS70 IgGs or removal of MAS70 from the mitochondria by either mild trypsin treatment or by disrupting the nuclear MAS70 gene inhibits import of the F1-ATPase beta-subunit, the ADP/ATP translocator, and of several other precursors into isolated mitochondria by up to 75%, but has little effect on the import of porin. Intact cells of a mas70 null mutant import the F1-ATPase alpha-subunit and beta-subunits, cytochrome c1 and other precursors at least several fold more slowly than wild-type cells. Removal of MAS70 from wild-type mitochondria inhibits binding of the ADP/ATP translocator to the mitochondrial surface, indicating that MAS70 mediates one of the earliest import steps. Several precursors are thus imported by a pathway in which MAS70 functions as a receptor-like component. MAS70 is not essential for import of these precursors, but only accelerates this process.

Immunological studies were designed to study the structure of the oligomycin sensitivity conferring protein (OSCP) integrated in the mitochondrial ATPase-ATPsynthase complex. The monoclonal antibody 2B1B1 used in this study could bind as well to purified or membrane bound OSCP as shown previously by Protein A-gold immunocytochemistry and by competitive immunotitration. In this paper, it is shown that 2B1B1 can also immunoprecipitate the F0F1 complex from a Triton X-100 extract. This means that not only, 2B1B1 binds to the surface of OSCP but also that the binding of 2B1B1 did not destroy the interactions between F0 and F1 and further demonstrates the external location of the 2B1B1 binding site in the ATPase-ATPsynthase complex. This antigenic site was located on the N-terminal sequence of OSCP, between residues 1 and 72, as demonstrated after chemical cleavage of OSCP with formic acid, hydroxylamine and partial cleavage with cyanogen bromide. The proximity of Tyr and Arg to the epitope was suggested by the lack of 2B1B1 binding to iodinated OSCP and by the susceptibility of this binding to trypsin or to endoproteinase Arg-C treatments of OSCP, respectively. A more precise location of the epitope has been attempted by using the method of synthesis of overlapping octapeptides on solid support. It was found that 2 groups of octapeptides could bind 2B1B1. The first group contained in common the sequence Pro7-Pro8-Val9-Gln10-Ile11-Tyr12- and the second group of peptides contained the sequence Arg62-Ser63-Val64-Lys65. Another monoclonal antibody, AF4H7, which competes with 2B1B1, also recognized the first group of peptides. The possible involvement of these 2 fragments in the epitope localized at the surface of OSCP is discussed. In addition, secondary structure theoretical analysis predicts that these 2 domains should be in a beta-strand configuration.

[32P]Azidonitrophenyl phosphate [( 32P]ANPP) is a photoactivatable analogue of Pi. It competes efficiently with Pi for binding to the F1 sector of beef heart mitochondrial ATPase and photolabels the Pi binding site located in the beta subunit of F1 [Lauquin, G. J. M., Pougeois, R., & Vignais, P. V. (1980) Biochemistry 19, 4620-4626]. By cleavage of the photolabeled beta subunit of F1 with cyanogen bromide, trypsin, and chymotrypsin, bound [32P]ANPP was localized in a fragment spanning Thr 299-Phe 326. By Edman degradation of the radiolabeled tryptic peptide spanning Ile 296-Arg 337, [32P]ANPP was found to be attached covalently by its photoreactive group to Ile 304, Gln 308, and Tyr 311. These results are discussed in terms of a model in which the phosphate group of [32P]ANPP interacts with a glycine-rich sequence of the beta subunit, spanning Gly 156-Lys 162, which is spatially close to the photolabeled Ile 304-Tyr 311 segment of the same subunit.

An inhibitor of Crithidia fasciculata and Trypanosoma cruzi H+ -ATP synthase (ATPase) was isolated from these organims mitochondrial particles, either by (a) ammonium sulfate-cholate extraction followed by heat treatment and ethanol precipitation, or (b) gel-filtration on Sephadex G-50, followed by a similar purification procedure. Inactivation by trypsin supported the inhibitor peptide structure. Removal of the peptide inhibitor increased about three-fold the specific activity of the protozoan ATPases. The isolated peptides and a highly purified bovine heart ATPase inhibitor inhibited C. fasciculata ATPase as a function of the peptide concentration.
