Rose Bengal mediated photooxidation of mitochondrial F1-ATPase and its beta-subunit resulted in inactivation and loss of about 50 and 60% of their histidine residues, respectively. The beta-subunit was not cleaved upon photooxidation. Photooxidation of histidine probably results in changes in the conformational stability of F1-ATPase leading to its inactivation. The participation of singlet molecular oxygen during the photooxidation process is suggested by the selective loss of histidine residues, while other amino acids, also sensitive to singlet oxygen attack, were not affected. Photochemical damage of F1-ATPase was prevented by various phenanthroline compounds, the order of efficiency being bathophenanthroline-Fe chelate greater than bathophenanthroline greater than orthophenanthroline-Fe chelate greater than bathophenanthroline-sulfonate-Fe chelate. The prevention by bathophenanthroline-Fe chelate of photochemical damage is interpreted on the basis of its interaction with the photosensitizer, Rose Bengal, probably implying a chemical reaction which decreases the actual concentration of the sensitizer and, thereby, the extent of photoinactivation.

(1) Trisbathophenanthroline-Fe2+ (BPh3Fe2+)alters the hyperbolic relationship between concentration of ATP and reaction velocity of F1-ATPase to sigmoidal, with a simultaneous decrease in maximal velocity. (2) BPh3Fe2+ binds to the beta-subunit of F1 and competes with the binding of aurovertin. The reversal of this effect uncouplers in enhanced by ADP and diminished by ATP. BPh3Fe2+ also changes the hyperbolic concentration dependence of aurovertin binding to sigmoidal. (3) BPh3Fe2+ stabilizes F1 against the cold inactivation and cold dissociation in an uncoupler-reversible manner. (4) BPh3Fe2+ efficiently protects F1 against the light-induced inactivation occurring in the presence of Rose Bengal, and the effect is reversed by uncouplers. (5) The results are discussed in relation to the reaction mechanism of F1-ATPase and other enzymes catalyzing the reversible hydrolysis of pyrophosphate bonds.

Singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)) produced in plants during photosynthesis has a strong damaging effect not only on both photosystems but also on the whole photosynthetic machinery. This is also applicable for the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase. Here we describe the impact of (1)O(2) generated by the photosensitizer Rose Bengal on the ATP hydrolysis and ATP-driven proton translocation activity of CF1CFo. Both activities were reduced dramatically within 1min of exposure. Interestingly, it is shown that oxidized thylakoid ATP synthase is more susceptible to (1)O(2) than CF1CFo in its reduced state, a new insight on the mechanism of (1)O(2) interaction with the gamma subunit.
