Cooperative interactions between nucleotide binding sites on beef heart mitochondrial F1-ATPase have been studied by measuring substrate-promoted release of 5'adenylyl-beta,gamma-imidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP) from a single high affinity site. The site is initially loaded by incubating F1 with an equimolar amount of the nonhydrolyzable ATP analog. When unbound [3H]AMP-PNP is removed and the complex diluted to a concentration below the Kd, release of ligand shows an apparent absolute requirement for medium ADP. Release is biphasic with the extent of release during the initial rapid phase dependent on the concentration of medium ADP. Although phosphate alone has no effect, it enhances the rapid phase of ADP-promoted release over 2-fold with a half-maximal effect at 60 micrometers P1. The binding of efrapeptin (A23871) to the F1.AMP-PNP complex completely prevents ADP-promoted dissociation. Although AMP-PNP release also occurs in the presence of medium ATP, the F1.AMP-PNP complex does not dissociate if an ATP-regenerating system of sufficient capacity to prevent accumulation of medium ADP is added. Consistent with an inability of nucleoside triphosphate to promote release is the failure of medium, nonradioactive AMP-PNP to affect retention of the 3H-labeled ligand. The stability of F1.AMP-PNP complex in the absence of medium nucleotide and the highly specific ability of ADP plus P1 to promote rapid release of the ATP analog are interpreted as support for an ATP synthesis mechanism that requires substrate binding at one catalytic site for product release from an adjacent interacting site.

The effect of alloxan on inorganic phosphate (Pi) transport in isolated mouse liver mitochondria was studied by swelling techniques. Mitochondria preincubated with alloxan exhibited inhibition of Pi uptake assessed by NH4-Pi, K+-ionophore and acetate/Pi exchange systems, and also inhibition of Pi efflux assessed by the K+-ionophore and FCCP1-ATP systems. The effect on Pi uptake was pH dependent. Swelling in the FCCP-ATP system in the presence of alloxan and NEM was unaffected by rotenone and cysteine but was blocked by oligomycin, whereas the swelling caused by mersalyl was unaffected by rotenone, blocked by oligomycin, and reversed by cysteine. Alloxan stimulated mitochondrial ATPase activity, this effect being blocked by oligomycin. These findings suggest that alloxan causes an irreversible and pH-dependent inhibition of Pi influx and efflux in isolated mouse liver mitochondria.

Recovery of high-energy compounds by ischemic myocardium is believed to be important for its return to normal functioning. While it has been previously shown that oxidative phosphorylation is markedly reduced in mitochondria isolated from ischemic myocardium in the presence of all substrates, alterations in ATPase activity have not been confirmed. This study demonstrates that, although the rate of ATP hydrolysis produced by mitochondria isolated from 2-hr ischemic myocardium does not significantly differ from that produced by non-ischemic mitochondria, the rate produced by 2-hr ischemic, 2 hr reperfused mitochondria is significantly higher. Also, Ca++ content was observed to be higher in reperfused than in non-reperfused ischemic mitochondria. The addition of EDTA, EGTA, or oligomycin to the reperfused ischemic mitochondria resulted in the inhibition of ATPase activity. These results indicate that mitochondrial ATPase in ischemic myocardium is activated by Ca++ ions and that ischemic reperfused myocardium may contain mitochondria with uncontrolled ATPase activity such that high energy phosphate supplies are excessively depleted when the cells are reperfused.

The carboxyl group reagents dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) and N-ethoxycarboxyl-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline (EEDQ) inactivate the soluble Rhodospirillum rubrum F1-ATPase (RrF1). The inactivation is both time- and concentration-dependent and also pH-dependent, being more marked at acid pH. Under the same conditions, N-ethyl-5-phenylisoxazolium 3'-sulfonate causes almost no inactivation of the RrF1-ATPase. Complete inhibition of the enzyme activity requires the binding of 1 mol of DCCD/mol of RrF1. The isolated, reconstitutively active, beta-subunit of RrF1 is affected by the three carboxyl group reagents in a very similar manner to the RrF1-ATPase. Incubation of the beta-subunit with DCCD and EEDQ eliminates its capacity to rebind to beta-less chromatophores. Consequently the DCCD or EEDQ-modified beta-subunit cannot restore ATP synthesis or hydrolysis activities to the beta-less chromatophores. The interaction of the isolated beta-subunit with DCCD and EEDQ is both time and concentration dependent. The elimination of the reconstitutive activity of the beta-subunit by DCCD is accompanied with a covalent binding of about 1 mol of [14C]DCCD/mol of beta and is pH-dependent, showing a half-maximal effect at about pH 7.4. Divalent cations, inorganic phosphate, and to a lesser extent ATP and ADP decrease the binding stoichiometry of DCCD to the beta-subunit. Pretreatment of either RrF1 or its isolated beta-subunit with EEDQ reduces drastically their ability to bind [14C]DCCD, suggesting that in both RrF1 and the beta-subunit, EEDQ and DCCD might react at the same site. The similar effect of the carboxyl group reagents on RrF1 and on its isolated beta-subunit is in accord with the suggestion that DCCD and EEDQ affect the F1-ATPases by interacting with their beta-subunits.

Upon incubation with trypsin, the adenosine-5'-triphosphatase (ATPase) activity of the nucleotide-depleted F1 is first rapidly and slightly activated and then slowly inactivated. The first phase is simultaneous with the conversion of the alpha subunit into an alpha' fragment which migrates between alpha and beta on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The second phase is related to the proteolysis of the three main subunits, alpha', beta, and gamma. Preincubation of the enzyme with low concentrations of adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP) or adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) does not modify the slight increase of activity but efficiently prevents the inactivation induced by trypsin. The alpha leads to alpha' conversion is not affected whereas the further proteolysis of alpha', beta, and gamma does not occur. On the contrary, even high concentrations of GDP only slightly lower the trypsin-induced inactivation. The presence of endogenous tightly bound nucleotides also partially lowers the sensitivity to trypsin since F1 is less rapidly inactivated and proteolyzed than the nucleotide-depleted F1. Phosphate, at high concentrations, both slows down the first phase of activation and simultaneous alpha leads to alpha' conversion and prevents the second phase of inactivation and proteolysis of the main subunits. Pretreatment of the nucleotide-depleted F1 with trypsin under conditions where the ATPase activity is largely inhibited only slightly modifies, however, the hysteretic behavior of the enzyme: the ADP binding and the concomitant hysteretic inhibition of the residual activity are not markedly diminished. The purified ATPase-ATP synthase complex binds very few ADP's and is not hysteretically inhibited. Its ATPase activity is rapidly activated but not further inhibited by trypsin. Preincubation of the complex with ADP does not modify the effects of trypsin.

Ammonium chloride, an uncoupler of photophosphorylation which stimulates the membrane-bound chloroplast coupling factor ATPase when added after light/dithiothreitol activation, causes a decrease in the number of extra water oxygens incorporated into the phosphate formed during ATP hydrolysis. This observation is in contrast to the long-reported insensitivity of intermediate Pi:H2O oxygen exchange to uncoupler dinitrophenol in the mitochondrial F1 ATPase system. The effect of ammonium chloride on the CF1-catalyzed oxygen exchange reaction is consistent with ATPase activity stimulation caused by increased partitioning forward of the enzyme . products complex. In line with the oxygen exchange data, ammonium chloride causes an increase in the apparent Km of the enzyme for substrate ATP. The effect of ammonium chloride on the pattern of the intermediate Pi:H2O oxygen exchange is not a threshold phenomenon; the extent of exchange decreases in a continuous fashion, paralleling the stimulation of ATPase activity. The uncoupler CF3OPhzC(CN)2 also decreases the extent of oxygen exchange upon stimulating the membrane-bound ATPase, while phlorizin, an energy-transfer inhibitor, has essentially no effect on exchange although it inhibits the ATPase reaction. Similar to the effect of chemical uncoupling on the membrane-bound enzyme, physical removal of the coupling factor ATPase from the thylakoid membrane also results in an increase in forward partitioning of the enzyme . ADP . Pi complex. The modulation of oxygen exchange observed by altering the degree of coupling is similar to that which accompanies changing ATP concentration in the mitochondrial ATPase system [Russo, J. A., Lamos, C. M. and Mitchell, R. A. (1978) Biochemistry 17,473-480 and Choate, G. L., Hutton, R. L. and Boyer, P. D. (1979) J. Biol. Chem. 254, 286-290]. However, the uncoupler modulation is not readily correlated with the degree to which multiple catalytic sites are occupied by substrate.

The conformational changes induced by the binding of different effectors on F1-ATPase are investigated by using circular dichroism and are related to enzyme activity. The hydrophilic part of the terminal enzyme of oxidative phosphorylation, F1-ATPase, solubilized from the pig heart mitochondrial membrane contains both regulatory and catalytic sites which can bind nucleotides and phosphate. The circular dichroic spectra of F1-ATPase in the absence or in the presence of ADP, Mg2+, phosphate, and the substrate analogue guanosine 5'-(beta, gamma-imidotriphosphate) [GMP-P-(NH)P] were recorded and analyzed in terms of secondary structure. The most significant result is a sizable increase from 35% to 42% of the alpha-helix content when the enzyme is incubated with all the effectors. Since the kinetic study showed that GMP-P(NH)P is a competitive inhibitor of MgATP with or without preincubation of the enzyme with ADP and phosphate, it was concluded that the catalytic and regulatory sites can be simultaneously occupied by ADP and GMP-P-(NH)P. The increase of alpha-helix content is then interpreted by a conformational change that occurs only after occupation of both types of sites.

The soluble F1 moiety of the rat liver mitochondrial proton ATPase dissociates into two easily separable fractions when cold treated and then warmed. One fraction is soluble in potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, whereas the other is insoluble. Neither of these two fractions alone can catalyze ATP hydrolysis under assay conditions optimal for the native F1-ATPase. The insoluble fraction when resolved via sodium dodecyl sulfate--polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis is shown to be composed of only alpha and gamma subunits. When this fraction is chromatographed on Sephadex G-75, it is resolved into an alpha gamma complex and into the alpha subunit alone. The soluble fraction when resolved in the same electrophoretic system is shown to contain the remaining subunits, beta, delta, epsilon, and some gamma. This fraction is resolved into two major components by chromatography on Sepharose CL-6B, a beta gamma complex and beta subunit alone. The cold-dissociated enzyme can be readily associated when the temperature is raised to 20 degrees C. In the presence of either ATP or MgATP the enzyme completely regains its original ATPase specific activity. In contrast, Mg2+ is only about 15% effective in restoring ATPase activity. The results presented here define conditions for the dissociation and reassociation of the major subunits comprising the F1-ATPase of rat liver and thus provide a unique system among mammalian enzymes for testing the function of individual subunits. In addition, they strongly indicate that neither the alpha nor beta subunits, nor complexes of these subunits with the gamma subunit, are capable of catalyzing ATP hydrolysis.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

A method is described for the purification of rat liver F1-ATPase by a modification of the chloroform extraction procedure originally described by Beechey et al. (Biochem. J. (1975) 148, 533). Purified liver membrane vesicles are extracted with chloroform in the presence of ATP and EDTA. The procedure yields pure F1 in only 2-3 h without the necessity of ion-exchange chromatography. The enzyme exhibits the alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon bands characteristic of F1-ATPase. It has a high ATPase specific activity, and is reconstitutively active, catalyzing high rates of ATP synthesis. Significantly, it can be readily crystallized. If desired, the enzyme can be passed over a gel filtration column to place it in a stabilizing phosphate-EDTA buffer, lyophilized and stored indefinitely at -20 degrees C.

1. Vesicles from Paracoccus denitrificans were prepared by applying an osmotic shock to spheroplasts derived from cells that had been grown anaerobically with succinate as carbon source and nitrate as electron acceptor. In the presence of either phenazinemethosulphate or N,N,N' N',-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine, the oxidation of isoascorbate supported the uptake of both S14CN- and 86Rb+ (in the presence of valinomycin), whereas NADH and succinate oxidation resulted only in S14CN- uptake. These observations show that the preparations contain both right-side-out and inside-out vesicles, and are related to the earlier proposal that the stimulation of an NADH-2,6-dichloroindophenol reductase activity by bee venom is an indicator of the proportion of right-side-out vesicles present. The implications impinge on previous conclusions [Burnell, J. N., John. P. and Whatley, F. R. (1975) Biochem. J. 150, 527-536 and FEBS Lett. 58, 215-218] about the mechanisms of sulphate and phosphate transport in P. denitrificans. 2. The relationship between the protonmotive force (delta p; transmembrane proton electrochemical gradient expressed in mV) and the phosphorylation potential (delta Gp) generated by vesicles from P. denitrificans has been studied as a function of the concentration of an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation. With either NADH or succinate as substrate, the uncoupler had a more pronounced effect on delta p than on delta Gp, so that the ratio delta Gp/F x delta p increased within a limited range of values of delta p close to the maximum. delta Gp/F x delta p was, however, approximately constant over the remaining range of delta p that was titrated. A fraction of 'highly coupled' vesicles, separated from the initial preparation by centrifugation through a Ficoll pad, showed similar titration behaviour. This demonstrated that heterogeneity within a vesicle preparation was not responsible for significant distortion of the true relationship between delta p and delta Gp. Values of delta p and delta Gp/F x delta p (H+/ATP) from 143-108 mV and 3.9-4.4, respectively, were determined when NADH was substrate, whereas with succinate, delta p ranged from 123-88 mV and delta Gp/F x delta p (H+/ATP) from 4.5-5.6. The variation in the value of delta Gp/F x delta p, which can be equated with a minimum value for the H+/ATP of the ATP synthase enzyme, is similar to, but less pronounced than, some of the data previously reported for mitochondria. Thus the observations with these bacterial vesicles, which represent an experimentally simpler system than mitochondria, might be taken as further evidence that measurements of the bulk phase delta p might not truly reflect the driving force for ATP synthesis sensed by the ATP synthase enzyme. However, other explanations that would make the data consistent with a chemiosmotic mechanism cannot be eliminated...
