Purified preparations of F1-ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase; EC 3.6.1.3) isolated from yeast mitochondria catalyze the reaction of oleoylphosphate with ADP to yield ATP and oleic acid. Formation of ATP is specifically inhibited by the F1-ATPase inhibitor 1799 and by dinitrophenol. In the presence of F1, dinitrophenol "uncouples" the synthase reaction by causing rapid hydrolysis of oleoylphosphate without ATP formation. It is proposed that this F1 catalyzed ATP synthesis reaction corresponds to the terminal chemical step in oxidative phosphorylation.

Mitoplasts, that is, mitochondria freed from their outer membranes, were prepared from pig heart. Sonication induced an inversion of these mitoplasts, giving inside-out vesicles. Added cytochrome c can be bound much better to mitoplasts than to sonicated vesicles; addition of trypsin increased adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) (ATP phosphohydrolase; EC 3.6.1.3) activity of sonicated vesicles without significantly affecting that of the mitoplasts. Since the site of fixation of cytochrome c was located on the outer side of the inner mitochondrial membrane and since the protein inhibitor of the mitochondrial ATPase is present on the inner face of the inner membrane and is very sensitive to trypsin, it can be concluded that mitoplasts are mainly oriented as normal mitochondria while sonicated vesicles are mainly inverted. Trypsin treatment can abolish the oligomycin sensitivity of ATPase activity of either mitoplasts or sonicated vesicles. However, trypsin induced the solubilization of the soluble F(1)-ATPase of sonicated vesicles while the ATPase activity remained with the mitoplasts after trypsin action. Therefore, trypsin destroyed the oligomycin effect by rupturing the liaison between F(1) and the membrane in sonicated vesicles. On the other hand, the effect of trypsin on mitoplasts must be attributed to the hydrolysis of a protein located near the outer surface of the inner membrane that is at least structurally involved in the oligomycin sensitivity of the ATPase complex.

Experiments with resting cells of Acetobacterium woodii were performed to elucidate the coupling ion used by the ATP synthase. A. woodii synthesized ATP in response to an artificial delta pH, indicating the presence of a proton-translocating ATPase. On the other hand, a delta pNa, as well as a proton diffusion potential, could serve as a driving force for ATP synthesis with the latter strictly dependent on Na+. These results are indicative for the presence of a Na(+)-translocating ATP synthase in A. woodii.

H+-translocating, Mg2+-ATPase was solubilized from vacuolar membranes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with the zwitterionic detergent N-tetradecyl-N,N-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propanesulfonate and purified by glycerol density gradient centrifugation. Partially purified vacuolar membrane H+-ATPase, which had a specific activity of 18 units/mg of protein, was separated almost completely from acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase. The purified enzyme required phospholipids for maximal activity and hydrolyzed ATP, GTP, UTP, and CTP, with this order of preference. Its Km value for Mg2+-ATP was determined to be 0.21 mM and its optimal pH was 6.9. ADP inhibited the enzyme activity competitively, with a Ki value of 0.31 mM. The activity of purified ATPase was strongly inhibited by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, tributyltin, 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzoxazole, diethylstilbestrol, and quercetin, but was not affected by oligomycin, sodium azide, sodium vanadate, or miconazole. It was not inhibited at all by antiserum against mitochondrial F1-ATPase or mitochondrial F1-ATPase inhibitor protein. These results indicated that vacuolar membrane H+-ATPase is different from either yeast plasma membrane H+-ATPase or mitochondrial F1-ATPase. The vacuolar membrane H+-ATPase was found to be composed of two major polypeptides a and b of Mr = 89,000 and 64,000, respectively, and a N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide binding polypeptide c of Mr = 19,500, whose polypeptide composition was also different from those of either plasma membrane H+-ATPase or mitochondrial F1-ATPase of S. cerevisiae.

Cloned DNA from Bacillus megaterium can complement mutants in the Escherichia coli proton-translocating ATPase. DNA from the E. coli unc operon, which codes for the ATPase, was used in hybridization experiments to probe for homologous DNA in the Gram-positive sporulating bacterium Bacillus megaterium. Such DNA was identified and subsequently cloned into pBR322. In an E. coli in vitro transcription-translation system, the resultant plasmid directed the synthesis of a 52,000 Mr polypeptide which could be precipitated with antiserum to the E. coli F1-ATPase. This plasmid was also capable of complementing E. coli uncA and uncD mutants, defective in the alpha and beta subunits of the ATPase, respectively. Therefore, the cloned B. megaterium DNA carries the genes for the alpha and beta subunits, and perhaps for other subunits, of the proton-translocating ATPase of B. megaterium. These bacillus subunits can be synthesized and assembled in vivo into a functional hybrid E. coli-B. megaterium ATPase.

Mitochondria prepared from the yeast nuclear pet mutant N9-84 lack a detectable F1-ATPase activity. Genetic complementation of this mutant with a pool of yeast genomic DNA in the yeast Escherichia coli shuttle vector YEp13 restored its growth on a nonfermentable carbon source. Mitochondria prepared from the transformed host contained an 8-fold higher than normal level of the F1 alpha-subunit and restored ATPase activity to 50% that of the wild-type strain. Deletion and nucleotide sequence analysis of the complementing DNA on the plasmid revealed a coding sequence designated ATP1 for a protein of 544 amino acids which exhibits 60 and 54% direct protein sequence homology with the proton-translocating ATPase alpha-subunits from tobacco chloroplast and E. coli, respectively. In vitro expression and mitochondrial import experiments using this ATP1 sequence showed that additional amino-terminal sequences not present in the comparable plant and bacterial subunits function as transient sequences for import.

The proton-translocating ATPase that is responsible both for urinary and vacuolar acidification was partially purified from bovine kidney medulla microsomes. ATPase activity was purified to a maximum specific activity of 1.7 mumol.min-1.mg prot-1 and was inhibited completely by N-ethylmaleimide. The relative molecular weight (Mr) of the intact protein estimated by high-pressure size-exclusion liquid chromatography was 586,000. Nondenaturing gels of the isolated enzyme revealed two protein bands at MrS of 551,000 and 523,000. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis of the isolated H+-ATPase revealed component subunits at MrS of 70,000, 56,000, 45,000, 42,000, 38,000, 31,000, 15,000, 14,000, and 12,000. The properties of the isolated H+-ATPase and of microsomal ATP-dependent proton transport correlated closely. The isolated H+-ATPase was reconstituted into phospholipid liposomes and demonstrated N-ethylmaleimide-inhibitable ATP-dependent potential generation, consistent with electrogenic proton transport. In overall structure, the enzyme appears to be a new type of H+-ATPase with several features of the F0F1 class of ion-translocating ATPases but is immunologically and structurally different from the mitochondrial F1-ATPase.

A cDNA library from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, constructed in the phage expression vector lambda gt11, was probed with antiserum directed against the nuclear-encoded gamma subunit of the chloroplast H+-transporting ATP synthase [ATP phosphohydrolase (H+-transporting) or chloroplast coupling factors 0 and 1, EC 3.6.1.34] of C. reinhardtii. A cDNA was isolated and transcribed in vitro. The transcript was translated in vitro and immunoprecipitated with anti-gamma-subunit serum to yield a product that coelectrophoresed with the immunoprecipitated product from in vitro-translated polyadenylylated RNA. These proteins were larger than the mature gamma subunit, either immunoprecipitated as chloroplast coupling factor 1 or as the individual subunit. Thus, the gamma subunit is synthesized as a precursor of greater molecular weight in C. reinhardtii. Furthermore, the precursor protein encoded by the cDNA is imported into pea chloroplasts and processed to a lower molecular weight polypeptide that coelectrophoreses with mature C. reinhardtii gamma subunit. The largest cDNA isolated is about the same length as the corresponding mRNA (approximately equal to 1900 bases long) and probably contains the entire coding region. Southern blot analyses revealed restriction fragment length polymorphisms and that the gamma subunit is probably encoded by an intron-containing single-copy gene.

Starved whole cells of alkalophilic Bacillus firmus OF4 that are equilibrated at either pH 10.2, 9.5, or 8.5 synthesize ATP in response to a pH gradient that is imposed by rapid dilution of the cyanide-treated cells into buffer at pH 7.5. If a valinomycin-mediated potassium diffusion potential (positive out) is generated simultaneously with the pH gradient, then the rate of ATP synthesis and the level of synthesis achieved is much higher than upon imposition of a pH gradient alone. By contrast, imposition of a large chemical gradient of Na+, either in the presence or absence of a concomitant diffusion potential, fails to result in ATP synthesis. We conclude that this organism does not possess a sodium-motive ATPase that can be made to synthesize detectable levels of ATP by imposition of a suitably large chemical or electrochemical gradient of Na+. On the other hand, a proton-translocating ATPase is in evidence when protons are provided at very high pH, corroborating our earlier work on extremely alkalophilic bacilli. Oxidative phosphorylation must, then, be catalyzed in these organisms by a proton-translocating ATPase even though the putative bulk driving forces for such a catalyst are low under optimal growth conditions. Stable, imposed pH gradients of 1 unit, comparable to the magnitude of the total electrochemical proton gradient of growing cells, result in much lower ATP concentrations than observed in such cells. We hypothesize that ATP synthesis in growing cells utilizes protons that are made available by some localized pathway between proton pumps and the ATP synthase.

A previously found yeast-mitochondrial protein fraction stabilizing the inactivated complex between mitochondrial ATPase and intrinsic ATPase inhibitor (Hashimoto, T., et al. (1983) J. Biochem. 94, 715-720) was separated into two proteins by high performance liquid chromatography on a cation exchanger. The molecular weights of the factors were estimated to be 9,000 and 15,000 daltons by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-gel electrophoresis. Both factors were required to stabilize a complex of inhibitor and proton-translocating ATPase (F1F0-ATPase) either in its purified form or in mitochondrial membranes. On the other hand both factors together could not stabilize a complex of the inhibitor and F1-ATPase, suggesting that both factors act together with the F0-portion. The factors also facilitated very efficiently the binding of ATPase inhibitor to F1F0-ATPase in the presence of ATP and Mg2+. Both the 15,000 and 9,000 dalton stabilizing factors were hardly distinguishable from delta- and epsilon-subunit, respectively, on an SDS-gel electrophoregram, but immuno-diffusion assay showed that neither factor was present in the purified F1-ATPase containing the delta- and epsilon-subunit.
