1. Photolabelling of chloroplast ATPase (CF1) with either 8-azido-ATP or 8-azido-ADP leads to inactivation of the ATPase activity. ATP and ADP protect against the inactivation, whereas AMP dose not. 2. Ca2+ has little if any effect on the degree of inactivation by photolabelling with 8-azido-ADP, but, at the same degree of inactivation, twice as much label is bound in the presence of Ca2+ as in its absence. 3. The degree of inactivation of ATPase and the amount of bound photolabel are independent of the extent of pre-activation of the CF1. 4. Upon extrapolation to complete inactivation, 2 mol label, either 8-azido-ATP or 8-azido-ADP can be bound. 5. In all cases the label is bound specifically to the alpha and beta subunits in almost equal amounts. The location of the bound label is not affected by addition of Ca2+, ATP or ADP.

Occupancy of only one of two hydrolytic sites on beef heart mitochondrial ATPase (F1) by the radioactive ATP analog, 2',3'-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl) adenosine 5'-[gamma-32P]-triphosphate (TNP-[gamma-32P]ATP) is associated with a low rate of hydrolysis of the substrate even under conditions otherwise favoring catalysis. Addition of excess nonradioactive TNP-ATP, in concentrations sufficient to fill catalytic Site 2 on the enzyme (Grubmeyer, C., and Penefsky, H. S. (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 3718-3727), accelerates the rate of hydrolysis of the radioactive substrate 15- to 20-fold. Since the excess nonradioactive substrate serves as an effective isotope trap, the involvement of medium TNP-[gamma-32P]-ATP as an intermediate is ruled out. These observations constitute direct evidence for catalytic cooperativity between active sites on F1. It is proposed that the use of high binding affinity substrates or substrate analogs, combined with the isotope trap technique, offers a new approach to the detection and study of catalytic site cooperativity in enzymes. The hydrolyzable nucleotides GTP, ITP, and ATP are excellent promoters of the hydrolysis of previously bound TNP-[gamma-32P]ATP whereas addition of nonhydrolyzable nucleotides such as TNP-ADP, ADP, and adenylyl imidodiphosphate result in a lower rate and extent of hydrolysis. AMP is without effect. Studies of the hydrolysis of [gamma-32P]ATP and TNP-[gamma-32P]ITP, under appropriate conditions, also provide evidence consistent with promoted catalysis. Based upon these findings, a model is presented for the mechanism of action of F1 in which site-site cooperativity reflects promoter-dependent hydrolysis of bound substrate.

Ischemic preconditioning of the heart is referred as a manifest increase in tolerance of the myocardium to otherwise damaging ischemic insult, achieved by one or few consequent initial short exposures to ischemia, each followed by reperfusion of the ischemic area. Several mechanisms such as opening of collateral vessels, the action of catecholamines, inositol phosphates, G-proteins and/or adenosine; inhibition of mitochondrial ATPase, the effects of different endogenous protective substances like heat stress or shock proteins, etc., are believed to cooperate in the mechanism of induction of preconditioning or in maintaining its effect. The present study is an attempt to extend the present knowledge about preconditioning from two aspects: i.) the peculiarities of energy equilibrium in preconditioned myocardium including adaptation of cardiac sarcolemmal ATPases to ischemia and/or hypoxia, and ii) participation of a new endogenous cardioprotective substance in the mechanism of preconditioning. The energy equilibrium in preconditioning is characterized by adaptation of cardiac energy demands to the capacity of energy production and delivery decreased by anaerobiosis and is manifested by constant ratios between ATP, ADP, AMP and the sum of ADN. Principles are proposed that may enable a prediction and mathematical modelling of the balanced energetic state in the preconditioned myocardium. These principles are based on thermodynamics and involve besides others a more economic handling of ATP by sarcolemmal ATPases. The latter enzymes adapt themselves to lowered availability of ATP by decreasing besides their Vmax also their values of Km (increase in the affinity) for ATP and some of them even adjust their activation energy (the anaerobiosis-induced elevation of Ea.t. is missing).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

When monitored by 1H NMR at various pH values, most of the C-2 proton signals from 12 His residues of the isolated beta subunit of thermophilic F1-ATPase (TF1) could be separately observed. Two of them were assigned to His-179 and His-200 which reside at the entrance of a 'conical tunnel' to reach catalytic site in the crystal structure of F1-ATPase. His-200 gave doublet, suggesting that this region is not a rigid alpha-helix in the isolated beta subunit. The binding of Mg.AMP-PNP changed the chemical shifts of His-179 and His-200 significantly. Although His-119 located at the opposite side of the conical tunnel was not affected by the nucleotide-binding, it contributed to the stability of beta subunit and the efficiency of the catalysis of the holoenzyme.

The ATP-hydrolyzing excitation state of the alpha 3 beta 3 complex of the ATP synthase from the thermophilic bacterium PS3 was investigated using time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering with synchrotron radiation. The results showed the presence of the alpha 3 beta 3 complex at a steady state during ATP hydrolysis when the alpha 3 beta 3 hexamer reacted with Mg-ATP. The radius of gyration of the complex in the steady state was significantly larger than that of the Mg-AMP-PNP-hexamer complex, indicating a conformational change to an expanded structure during catalysis. This alpha 3 beta 3 complex dissociated into alpha 1 beta 1 heterodimers with apparent first-order reaction kinetics after all the ATPs were converted to ADPs. In contrast, when the alpha 3 beta 3 complex reacted with Mg-ADP, the complex dissociated into dimers with apparent first-order reaction kinetics without showing the steady state of the complex. The dimers, however, re-associated into the hexamer when Mg-ATP was added. The results were well-explained by a computer simulation based on non-linear chemical dynamics, in which a reaction mechanism that incorporates the dynamic structure of the hexamer in the steady state was considered.

The F1 moiety of rat liver ATP synthase has a molecular mass of 370,000, exhibits the unique substructure alpha 3 beta 3 gamma delta epsilon, and fully restores ATP synthesis to F1-depleted membranes. Here we provide new information about rat liver F1 as it relates to the relationship of its unique substructure to its nucleotide binding properties, enzymatic states, and crystalline form. Seven types of experiments were performed in a comprehensive study. First, the capacity of F1 to bind [3H]ADP, the substrate for ATP synthesis and [32P]AMP-PNP (5'-adenylyl-beta,gamma-imidodiphosphate), a nonhydrolyzable ATP analog, was quantified. Second, double-label experiments were performed to establish whether ADP and AMP-PNP bind to the same or different sites. Third, total nucleotide binding was assessed by the luciferin-luciferase assay. Fourth, F1 was subfractionated into an alpha gamma and a beta delta epsilon fraction, both of which were subjected to nucleotide binding assays. Fifth, the nucleotide binding capacity of F1 was quantified after undergoing ATP hydrolysis. Sixth, the intensity of the fluorescence probe pyrene maleimide bound at alpha subunits was monitored before and after F1 experienced ATP hydrolysis. Finally, the catalytic activity and nucleotide content of F1 obtained from crystals being used in x-ray crystallographic studies was determined. The picture of rat liver F1 that emerges is one of an enzyme molecule that 1) loads nucleotide readily at five sites; 2) requires for catalysis both the alpha gamma and the beta delta epsilon fractions; 3) directs the reversible binding of ATP and ADP to different regions of the enzyme's substructure; 4) induces inhibition of ATP hydrolysis only after ADP fills at least five sites; and 5) exists in several distinct forms, one an active, symmetrical form, obtained in the presence of ATP and high P(i) and on which an x-ray map at 3.6 A has been reported (Bianchet, M., Ysern, X., Hullihen, J., Pedersen, P. L., and Amzel, L. M. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 21197-21201). These results are discussed within the context of a multistate model for rat liver F1 and also discussed relative to those reported for bovine heart F1, which has been crystallized with inhibitors in an asymmetrical form and has a propensity for binding nucleotides more tightly.

5-Nitroindole (NI), a mutagenic nitroarene, was assayed for cytotoxic effects on rat hepatocytes. After incubation with 25-100 microM NI, the adenylate energy charge of the hepatocytes decreased significantly as a result of the decrease in ATP and the increase in AMP. ATP depletion correlated well with the effects of NI on mitochondrial electron transfer and energy transduction in hepatocytes. Thus, NI (a) inhibited the antimycin-sensitive hepatocyte respiration; (b) inhibited NADH oxidation by disrupted hepatocyte mitochondria; (c) inhibited L-malate-L-glutamate oxidation by ADP-supplemented mitochondria; (d) in the absence of ADP, stimulated the same substrates and also succinate oxidation by mitochondria; (e) released the latent ATPase activity of mitochondrial F1F0-ATP synthase; (f) shifted the redox level of reduced cytochromes (c + c1) and b towards the oxidized state; (g) inhibited NADH oxidation by disrupted mitochondria in the vicinity of the NADH-dehydrogenase flavoprotein; (h) inhibited Ca2+ uptake by mitochondria using L-malate-L-glutamate as an energy source; (i) inhibited valinomycin-induced, endogenously energized K+ uptake, with little effect on the ATP-induced uptake; and (j) inhibited the MgATP-dependent contraction of Ca(2+)-swollen mitochondria. NI inhibited lipid peroxidation in hepatocytes and also in substrate-supplemented liver microsomes and mitochondria, thus ruling out hydroperoxides as a cause of NI cytotoxicity. Long-term incubation with NI produced loss of hepatocyte viability, as indicated by lactate dehydrogenase leakage.

Comparison of profiles of radioactive peptides resolved by HPLC from tryptic digests of the bovine heart F1-ATPase depleted of nucleotides (nd-MF1) which had been photoinactivated with 2-N3-[beta-32P]ADP, on the one hand, and 2-[8-3H]ADP, on the other, shows that the beta phosphate of ADP tethered to tyrosine-beta 345 is slowly hydrolyzed in the presence of Mg2+. When nd-MF1 was photoinactivated with 2-N3-[8-3H]ADP in the absence of Mg2+, hydrolysis of the beta phosphate from ADP tethered to tyrosine-beta 345 was not observed. Subsequent addition of Mg2+ initiated conversion of ADP tethered to tyrosine-beta 345 to tethered AMP suggesting that functional groups at the catalytic site participate in the hydrolytic reaction.

Tryptophan fluorescence was investigated as a tool to study the noncatalytic nucleotide-binding sites of Escherichia coli F1-ATPase. Site-directed mutagenesis, affinity labeling, and lin-benzo-ATP binding studies had shown that residues alpha R365 and beta Y354 are located close to the base moiety of bound nucleotide; here, we mutagenized each to tryptophan. The new tryptophans gave a fluorescence signal indicating an environment of high (alpha W365) or intermediate (beta W354) polarity in unoccupied sites. alpha W365 fluorescence was completely quenched by binding of ATP or ADP, providing a direct, specific probe of noncatalytic site nucleotide occupancy. Using this signal, we measured binding parameters for ATP and ADP, showed that nucleotide binding was magnesium-dependent, and showed that GTP and ITP did bind to some extent, but AMP, GDP, and IDP did not. It was possible to follow initial rates of MgATP hydrolysis and noncatalytic site binding under identical conditions; the results indicated that occupancy of noncatalytic sites was not required for catalysis. Fluorescence from beta W354 was quenched completely by lin-benzo-ATP, but only slightly by ATP or ADP. Probably, residue beta 354 is not as closely juxtaposed to the adenine ring of bound ATP and ADP as is residue alpha 365. With either alpha W365 or beta W354 as donor and catalytic site-bound lin-benzo-ADP as acceptor, no fluorescence resonance energy transfer was detected, indicating that the distance between non-catalytic and catalytic sites is > or = 27 A.

Two ATP analogs, 2- and 8-azidoadenyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate, were synthesized, purified and utilized as inhibitors of soluble beef heart mitochondrial F1-ATPase under non-photolytical conditions. In the range of 5 microM to 3 mM ATP, the initial rates of ATP hydrolysis in the presence and absence of the inhibiting ATP analogs can be adequately described by two pairs of Km and Vmax values (3 microM, 8.5 mumol ATP/min per mg; 255 microM, 42.0 mumol ATP/min per mg). With increasing inhibitor concentrations, the apparent Km,2 increases as in competitive inhibition, while Vmax,1 decreases as in non-competitive inhibition. The Ki values derived for both types of inhibition are similar, but strongly different for 2- and 8-azido-AMP-PNP (4 microM and 460 microM, respectively). The decrease of the high-affinity Vmax is compensated by an increase in low-affinity catalysis, resulting in a constant sum of maximal velocities. These data can be described by a model where two sites interact with negative cooperativity in binding of substrate.
