Beef heart mitochondrial ATPase (F1) contained 2 mol of ADP and 1 mol of ATP/mol of enzyme, which resisted removal by Sephadex chromatography with dilute buffers or repeated precipitation with ammonium sulfate. The native enzyme also contained two apparently equivalent binding sites, which participated in readily reversible binding of adenyl-5'-ylimidodiphosphate (AMP-P(NH)P), with a Kd of 1.3 mum. The failure of AMP-P(NH)P to compete effectively with ADP for binding sites on F1 may be related to the failure of the analog to inhibit oxidative phosphorylation. Virtually complete removal of all adenine nucleotides from F1 occurred when the enzyme was chromatographed on columns of Sephadex equilibrated with 50% glycerol. No loss in ATPase activity was observed following removal of nucleotides from the enzyme, which was then capable of binding more than 4 mol of ADP and almost 5 mol of AMP-P(NH)P/mol of protein. Subsequent chromatography on columns of Sephadex equilibrated with dilute buffers containing Mg2+ removed only 1.5 mol of ADP and no AMP-P(NH)P from the enzyme. Reconstitution of F1 with ADP or with almost 5 mol of AMP-P(NH)P resulted in preparations that exhibited an undiminished capacity to restore oxidative phosphorylation in F1-deficient submitochondrial particles.

Evidence is presented that mitochondrial ATPase has two types of sites that bind adenine nucleotides. The catalytic site, C, binds the substrates ATP, GTP, or ITP and the inhibitor guanylyl imidodiphosphate (GMP-PNP). A second type of site, R, binds ATP, ADP, adenylyl imidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP), and the chromium complexes of ATP or ADP. All of these substances binding to the R site inhibit the hydrolysis of ATP in a competitive manner; their inhibition of hydrolysis of ITP and GTP is noncompetitive. GMP-PNP inhibits oxidative phosphorylation in submitochondrial particles but AMP-PNP does not. The localization on mitochondrial membranes of sites for the binding of various antibiotics that inhibit oxidative phosphorylation is discussed.

Mitochondrial ATPase from rat liver mitochondria contains multiple nucleotide binding sites. At low concentrations ADP binds with high affinity (1 mole/mole ATPase, KD = 1-2 muM). At high concentrations, ADP inhibits ATP hydrolysis presumably by competing with ATP for the active site (KI = 240-300 muM). As isolated, mitochondrial ATPase contains between 0.6 and 2.5 moles ATP/mole ATPase. This "tightly bound" ATP can be removed by repeated precipitations with ammonium sulfate without altering hydrolytic activity of the enzyme. However, the ATP-depleted enzyme must be redissolved in high concentrations of phosphate to retain activity. AMP-PNP (adenylyl imidodiphosphate) replaces tightly bound ATP removed from the enzyme and inhibits ATP hydrolysis. AMP-PNP has little effect on high affinity binding of ADP. Kinetics studies of ATP hydrolysis reveal hyperbolic velocity vs. ATP plots, provided assays are done in bicarbonate buffer or buffers containing high concentrations of phosphate. Taken together, these studies indicate that sites on the enzyme not directly associated with ATP hydrolysis bind ATP or ADP, and that in the absence of bound nucleotide, Pi can maintain the active form of the enzyme.

Tightly bound adenine nucleotides are removed from multiple binding sites on beef heart mitochondrial ATPase (F1) by chromatography on columns of Sephadex equilibrated with 50% glycerol. Release of nucleotides from the enzyme is associated with large decreases in sedimentation velocity (from 11.9 S to 8.4 S) which may be observed in concentrated solutions of polyols. Polyol-induced conformational changes are reversed when the enzyme is returned to dilute buffers. The nucleotide-depleted enzyme restores oxidative phosphorylation in F1-deficient submitochondrial particles. Reconstitution of nucleotide-depleted F1 with the ATP analog (adenylyl-imidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP), almost 5 moles of AMP-PNP per mole of enzyme, results in preparations with substantially inhibited ATPase activity which nevertheless restores oxidative phosphorylation and the 32Pi-ATP exchange reaction in F1-deficient submitochondrial particles. Incubation of the analog-labeled enzyme with ATP and Mg++ results in partial displacement of the analog and a time-dependent recovery of ATPase activity.

A comparative study has been made of the effects of a variety of inhibitors on the plasma membrane ATPase and mitochondrial ATPase of Neurospora crassa. The most specific inhibitors proved to be vanadate and diethylstilbestrol for the plasma membrane ATPase and azide, oligomycin, venturicidin, and leucinostatin for mitochondrial ATPase. N,N'-Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, octylguanidine, triphenylsulfonium chloride, and quercetin and related bioflavonoids inhibited both enzymes, although with different concentration dependences. Other compounds that were tested (phaseolin, fusicoccin, deoxycorticosterone, alachlor, salicyclic acid, N-1-napthylphthalamate, triiodobenzoic acid, cyclic AMP, cyclic GMP, theobromine, theophylline, and histamine) had no significant effect on either enzyme. Overall, the results indicate that the plasma membrane and mitochondrial ATPases are distinct enzymes, in spite of the fact that they may play related roles in H+ transport across their respective membranes.

Mixed anhydrides of nucleoside triphosphates and mesitylenecarboxylic acid inhibit soluble mitochondrial ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase), but do not inhibit ATPase of submitochondrial particles. Inhibition of soluble mitochondrial ATPase by the mixed anhydride of epsilon-ATP and mesitylenecarboxylic acid is followed by the covalent binding of one nucleotide residue to a molecule of the protein. It is suggested that this covalent binding occurs in the catalytic site of the mitochondrial ATPase. The mixed anhydride of ADP and mesitylenecarboxylic acid inhibits the ATPase activity of submitochondrial particles and has no effect on the activity of soluble mitochondrial ATPase. After separation of the submitochondrial particles from the mixed anhydride of ADP and mesitylenecarboxylic acid, their ATPase activity is restored to its original value (half-time of reactivation 3--4 min). Incubation of submitochondrial particles or soluble mitochondrial ATPase with the mixed anhydride of ADP and mesitylenecarboxylic acid results in AMP formation.

1. In addition to the previously studied 8-azido-ATP, 8-azido-ADP is a suitable photoaffinity label for beef-heart mitochondrial ATPase (F1). 2. Photolysis at 350 nm of 8-azido-ADP in the presence of isolated F1 leads to inactivation of ATPase activity. Both ATP and ADP (but not AMP) protect against the inactivation. 3. In the absence of Mg2+, 8-azido-ADP binds almost equally to the alpha and beta subunits of F1, whereas in the presence of Mg2+ the alpha subunits are predominantly labelled. 4. The ATPase activity is completely inhibited when two molecules of 8-azido-ADP are bound per molecule F1. 5. 8-Azido-ATP and ATP are competitive substrates for F1, indicating that in the presence of Mg2+ 8-azido-ATP binds to the same site as ATP. 6. The amount of tightly bound nucleotides in F1 is not significantly changed upon incubation with 8-azido-ATP either in the light or the dark. 7. 8-Azido-ATP is also a suitadrial particles, photolabelling leading to inactivation of ATPase activity. 9. Oxidative phosphorylation and the ATP-driven reduction of NAD+ by succinate are also inhibited by photolabelling Mg-ATP particles with 8-azido-ATP. 10. In contrast to the uncoupled ATPase activity, where the two ATP-binding sites do not interact, cooperation between the two sites is required for ATP hydrolysis coupled to reduction of NAD+ by succinate.

1. A study is presented of the mitochondrial NADH content during controlled (state 4) and active (state 3) pyruvate oxidation by blowfly flight-muscle mitochondria. The results confirm and extend those of an earlier study (Hansford, 1972), which indicated an increased reduction in state 3. Nicotinamide nucleotide is normally highly oxidized during state 4; however, there can be substantial reduction in the presence of carnitine or high concentrations of proline, or on lengthy incubation in the presence of either of the systems used to generate intramitochondrial tricarboxylate-cycle intermediate. 2. Omission of phosphate leads to substantial reduction and this can be reversed by adding phosphate or acetate. 3. Estimations of NAD-+ and NADH in fly thoraces show a marked increase in NADH on flight, tending to corroborate the results of mitochondrial experiments and testifying to the importance of dehydrogenase activation in this tissue. 4. Determination of intramitochondrial adenine nucleotides reveals a total of 4-5 nmol/mg of protein, and an ADP content of less than 0.1 nmol/mg during state 4 oxidation of pyruvate and proline. ATP content is found to increase slowly during state 4 and this is attributed to the net phosphorylation of AMP. 5. The uncoupling agent carbonyl cyanide p=trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone leads to hydrolysis of some, but not all, of the mitochondrial ATP. Studies of mitochondrial ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase), measured by external pH change, show that it is inactive unless the mitochondria are allowed to respire for several minutes in state 4 in the presence of phosphate before the addition of carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone. It is suggested that phosphate uptake is essential for maximal ATPase activity. 6. Studies of the fluorescence of the fluorochrome 8-anilino-1-naphthalensulphonic acid suggest that the energy status of the mitochondrion is high during state 4-pyruvate oxidattion, and decrease slightly in state 3. The implications of these findings are discussed.

The interaction of glucose, the major physiological regulator of insulin secretion, with the beta-cell involves the recognition of glucose as a signal, the transduction of this recognition into an intracellular event and the coupling of the event to the exocytotic discharge of insulin from secretory granules. The following aspects of this system are discussed: (1) the mechanism of insulin release; (2) the evidence implicating Ca2+ and cyclic AMP as coupling factors; (3) the main characteristics of glucose-stimulated insulin release; (4) gluco-receptor models and the evidence for them; (5) possible mechanisms for transduction of the response to glucose; (6) the extent to which the systems of the secretory response to sugars may also be involved in the control of proinsulin biosynthesis; (7) whether starvation induces specific changes in the glucoreceptor system.

Purified nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase from beef heart was investigated with respect to labeling and subsequent sequence analysis of a nicotinamide nucleotide-binding site. A photo-activated azide derivative, 8-azidoadenosine 5'-monophosphate, was used as an active-site-directed photoaffinity label, which was shown to be specific for the NAD(H)-binding site in the dark. Light-activated incorporation of the label in transhydrogenase was accompanied by an inactivation, which approached 100% at the incorporation of about 1 mol label/mol transhydrogenase monomer. As expected from the assumed site-specificity of the label. NADH prevented both labeling and inactivation to some extent. However, NADPH also prevented labeling and inactivation marginally. The oxidized substrates NAD+ and NADP+ were inhibitory by themselves under these conditions, and the substrate analogs 5'-AMP and 2'-AMP were also poor protectors. The NAD(H)-site specificity of the azido compound was thus largely lost upon illumination and covalent modification. Radioactive labeling of transhydrogenase with 8-azido-[2-3H]-adenosine 5'-monophosphate followed by protease digestion, isolation of labeled peptides and amino-acid sequence analysis showed that Tyr 1006 in the sequence 1001-1027 close to the C-terminus was labeled. This sequence shows homologies with nucleotide-binding sequences in, e.g., F1-ATPase. On the basis of sequence homologies with other NAD(P)-dependent enzymes it is proposed that transhydrogenase contains 4 nucleotide-binding sites, of which 2 constitute the adenine nucleotide-binding domains of the catalytic sites for NAD(H) and NADP(H) close to the N- and C-terminals, respectively. Each of these domains has an additional vicinal nucleotide-binding sequence which may constitute a non-catalytic nucleotide-binding site or the nicotinamide nucleotide-binding domain of the catalytic site. The present results indicate that 8-azidoadenosine 5'-monophosphate is kinetically specific for the catalytic NAD(H)-binding site, but reacts covalently with Tyr 1006 of the putative non-catalytic site or nicotinamide nucleotide-binding domain formed by the 1001-1027 amino acid sequence of the catalytic NADP(H)-binding site. Interactions between the catalytic NAD(H) and NADP(H) binding sites, and the assumed non-catalytic sites, may be facilitated by a ligand-triggered formation of a narrow pocket, which normally allows an efficient hydride ion transfer between the natural substrates.
