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.

F1-ATPase was treated so that it contained three tightly bound nucleotides per molecule. One of these was bound at a catalytic site and was rapidly exchangeable, the two remaining nucleotides were nonexchangeable. Incubation of this preparation with ADP in the presence of Mg2+ results in 40-45% inhibition of the ATPase activity. With 2-azido-ADP instead of ADP, the ligand was covalently bound to F1 by illumination, in the presence or absence of turnover of the enzyme, and the site of binding was determined. In this way, one site could be identified, which induces the inhibition. The attachment of the covalently bound 2-nitreno-ADP is at Tyr-368 of a beta-subunit, characterized in the literature as a non-catalytic site. A second, non-catalytic site also binds 2-azido-ADP, but this binding is partially reversed by the addition of ATP and does not cause further inhibition of the ATPase activity. It is concluded that the slowly exchangeable non-catalytic site is the site of inhibition by ADP.

The presence of ATP at non-catalytic sites of the chloroplast F1-ATPase (CF1) eliminates a considerable lag in onset of enzyme activity that otherwise occurs in the presence of bicarbonate [Milgrom, Y. M., Ehler, L. & Boyer, P. D. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 11551-11558]. Sulfite is known to be much more effective than bicarbonate in stimulating ATPase activity CF1. Results reported here show that when assayed in the presence of sulfite, CF1, with some non-catalytic sites empty or filled with GT(D)P, is able to hydrolyze both ATP and GTP. Thus, the presence of adenine nucleotides at non-catalytic sites is not necessary for catalytic turnover of CF1. However, even though CF1 with empty non-catalytic sites shows a significant initial activity, the prior binding of adenine nucleotides at non-catalytic site(s) results in further activation of MgATPase and MgGTPase activities, even at relatively high sulfite and substrate concentrations. Although extensive activation of CF1 results from the presence of sulfite, with or without nucleotide binding at non-catalytic sites, the Km remains constant, at about 50 microM for MgATP and 400 microM for MgGTP. The results obtained show that the ATPase activity of CF1 is determined by the fraction of the active enzyme. The inactive CF1.ADP.Mg2+ formed during MgATP hydrolysis can be rapidly trapped by azide to provide a measure of the fraction of inactive enzyme. Increasing the concentration of sulfite increases the fraction of active CF1 in the assay medium. Measurements with radioactively labeled nucleotides show that the presence of ATP at non-catalytic sites promotes the ATP-dependent release of inhibitory ADP from a catalytic site. The activating effect of ATP binding at non-catalytic sites results from increasing the portion of CF1 in an active state during steady-state ATP hydrolysis.

The dissociation of mitochondrial F1-ATPase with 3 M LiCl at 0 degrees C, followed by reconstitution, has been analysed. FPLC over a gel filtration column in the dissociation buffer revealed the presence of two protein moieties, an alpha 3 gamma delta epsilon complex and single beta-subunits. When the dissociation and chromatography is performed at pH 6.2, the former protein moiety still contains some adenine nucleotides. Reconstitution of the dissociated complex is not possible any more after FPLC, probably due to the loss of residual adenine nucleotides. After a single column centrifugation step one nucleotide per F1 still remains bound. For reconstitution, additional ATP, or a suitable analog, is required. 2-Azido-ATP, but not 8-azido-ATP or ITP, can replace ATP during the reconstitution. F1, reconstituted in the presence of 2-azido-ATP, contains three tightly bound nucleotides, similar to freshly isolated F1, of which in this case one is an adenine nucleotide and two are azido-adenine nucleotides. One of the latter can be rapidly exchanged and is bound to a catalytic site. Covalent binding (at a beta-subunit) of the other tightly bound 2-azido-ATP by ultraviolet illumination does not result in inhibition of the enzyme. Digestion of F1 with trypsin, followed by HPLC, showed that the label is not bound to the fragment containing Tyr-368, nor to the fragment containing Tyr-345. This result was confirmed by CNBr digestion, followed by SDS-urea PAGE. We conclude that during dissociation of F1 one tightly bound nucleotide (ADP) remains bound at an alpha/beta interface site and that for reconstitution binding of ATP to a (non-catalytic) beta-site is required. The conformation of this site differs from that of the two catalytic beta-sites.

The recent finding that the presence of ATP at non-catalytic sites of chloroplast F1-ATPase (CF1) is necessary for ATPase activity (Milgrom, Y. M., Ehler, L. L., and Boyer, P. D. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265,18725-18728) prompted more detailed studies of the effect of noncatalytic site nucleotides on catalysis. CF1 containing at noncatalytic sites less than one ADP or about two ATP was prepared by heat activation in the absence of Mg2+ and in the presence of ADP or ATP, respectively. After removal of medium nucleotides, the CF1 preparations were used for measurement of the time course of nucleotide binding from 10 to 100 microM concentrations of 3H-labeled ADP, ATP, or GTP. The presence of Mg2+ strongly promotes the tight binding of ADP and ATP at noncatalytic sites. For example, the ADP-heat-activated enzyme in presence of 1 mM Mg2+ binds ADP with a rate constant of 0.5 x 10(6) M-1 min-1 to give an enzyme with two ADP at noncatalytic sites with a Kd of about 0.1 microM. Upon exposure to Mg2+ and ATP the vacant noncatalytic site binds an ATP rapidly and, as an ADP slowly dissociates, a second ATP binds. The binding correlates with an increase in the ATPase activity. In contrast the tight binding of [3H]GTP to noncatalytic sites gives an enzyme with no ATPase activity. The three noncatalytic sites differ in their binding properties. The noncatalytic site that remains vacant after the ADP-heat-activated CF1 is exposed to Mg2+ and ADP and that can bind ATP rapidly is designated as site A; the site that fills with ATP as ADP dissociates when this enzyme is exposed to Mg2+ and ATP is called site B, and the site to which ADP remains bound is called site C. Procedures are given for attaining CF1 with ADP at sites B and C, with GTP at sites A and/or B, and with ATP at sites A, B, and/or C, and catalytic activities of such preparations are measured. For example, little or no ATPase activity is found unless ATP is at site A, but ADP can remain at site C with no effect on ATPase. Maximal GTPase activity requires ATP at site A but about one-fifth of maximal GTPase is attained when GTP is at sites A and B and ATP at site C. Noncatalytic site occupancy can thus have profound effects on the ATPase and GTPase activities of CF1.

Guanosine triphosphate and formycin triphosphate (FTP) in the presence of excess Mg2+ can bind to empty non-catalytic sites of spinach chloroplast ATPase (CF1). This results in a greatly reduced capacity for ATP hydrolysis compared to the enzyme with non-catalytic sites filled with ATP. With two GTP bound at non-catalytic sites the inhibition is about 90%; with two FTP bound about 80% inhibition is obtained. Binding and release of the nucleotides from the non-catalytic sites are relatively slow processes. Exposure of CF1 with one or two empty non-catalytic sites to 5-10 microM FTP or GTP for 15 min suffices for about 50% of the maximum inhibition. Reactivation of CF1 after exposure to higher FTP or GTP concentrations requires long exposure to 2 microM EDTA. The findings show that, contrary to previous assumptions, GTP can bind tightly to non-catalytic sites of CF1. They suggest that the presence of adenine nucleotides at non-catalytic sites might be essential for high catalytic capacity of the F1 ATPases.

The F1-ATPase from chloroplasts (CF1) lacks catalytic capacity for ATP hydrolysis if ATP is not bound at noncatalytic sites. CF1 heat activated in the presence of ADP, with less than one ADP and no ATP at non-catalytic sites, shows a pronounced lag in the onset of ATP hydrolysis after exposure to 5-20 microM ATP. The onset of activity correlates well with the binding of ATP at the last two of the three noncatalytic sites. The dependence of activity on the presence of ATP at non-catalytic sites is shown at relatively low or high free Mg2+ concentrations, with or without bicarbonate as an activating anion, and when the binding of ATP at noncatalytic sites is slowed 3-4-fold by sulfate. The latent CF1 activated by dithiothreitol also requires ATP at noncatalytic sites for ATPase activity. A similar requirement by other F1-ATPases and by ATP synthases seems plausible.

The photoreactive nucleotides [2-3H]8-azido-ATP and [2-3H]8-azido-ADP could be used to label the nucleotide binding sites on isolated mitochondrial F1-ATPase to a maximum of 4 mol of nucleotide per mol F1, also when the F1 was depleted of tightly bound nucleotides. At a photolabel concentration of 300-1000 microM, label was found on both alpha and beta subunits in a typically 1:3 ratio, independent of the total amount bound. Under these conditions the covalent binding of two nucleotides is needed for full inactivation (Wagenvoord, R.J., Van der Kraan, I. and Kemp, A. (1977) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 460, 17-24). At lower concentrations of [2-3H]8-azido-ATP (20 microM), it was found that covalent binding of only 1 mol of nucleotide per mole F1 was required for complete inactivation to take place indicating catalytic site cooperativity in the mechanism of ATP hydrolysis. Under those conditions, radioactivity was only found on the beta subunits, which would indicate that the catalytic site is located on a beta subunit and that a second site is located on the alpha/beta interface. It is found that four out of the six nucleotide binding sites are exchangeable and can be labelled with 8-azido-AT(D)P, i.e., two catalytic sites and two non-catalytic sites.

Interaction of F1-ATPase from beef heart mitochondria with PPi has been investigated. The presence of PPi in the ATPase assay medium does not affect the initial rate of ATP hydrolysis by F1-ATPase, but slows down the decrease of enzyme activity in the course of ATP hydrolysis and increases the steady-state rate of ATP hydrolysis. Being present in the ATPase assay medium, PPi accelerates the ATP-dependent reactivation of an inactive complex formed by F1-ATPase and ADP. This inactive complex is also reactivated after preincubation with PPi. F1-ATPase, preincubated with PPi, is inactivated by azide much more slowly than is the non-preincubated enzyme. PPi stimulates the binding of Pi to F1-ATPase by decreasing mainly the Kd for Pi and only slightly raising the stoichiometry of high-affinity Pi binding. It follows from the results obtained that PPi interacts with the non-catalytic site(s) of F1-ATPase.

It was shown recently that ATP present at near saturating concentrations did not prevent binding and hydrolysis of submicromolar concentration of trinitrophenyl adenosine triphosphate (Tnp-ATP) by F1-ATPase [Murataliev, M. B. & Boyer, P. O. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 15431-15439]. To explore F1-ATPase binding sites that bind Tnp-ATP a new photoreactive analog of ATP, 2-azido-trinitrophenyl adenosine triphosphate (2-N3-Tnp-ATP) has been synthesized and used for photoaffinity labeling of mitochondrial F1-ATPase. The analog shares many properties of the parent non-azido Tnp-ATP as shown from spectral characteristics, binding with F1-ATPase, and kinetic and inhibition studies. 500 microM ATP does not prevent binding and hydrolysis of low concentrations of 2-N3-Tnp-ATP by F1-ATPase. Photoirradiation of the enzyme-analog complex formed under such conditions results in the labeling of the catalytic-site peptide. This shows that in the presence of near saturating ATP, Tnp-ATP can enter the catalytic cycle and inhibit ATP hydrolysis by initial binding at a third catalytic site. The results give strong evidence that only two catalytic sites need to have bound substrate for near maximal turnover rate, and that three catalytic sites of F1-ATPase participate equally in catalysis. When F1-ATPase binds substoichiometric 2-N3-Tnp-ATP in the presence of Mg2+, illumination of the inactive complex formed results in the covalent labeling of a catalytic site. This shows that F1-ATPase forms similar inactive complexes when ADP or Tnp-ADP is bound at a catalytic site in the presence of Mg2+. Exposure of the nucleotide-depleted F1-ATPase to 20 microM 2-N3-Tnp-ATP followed by a short incubation with excess of Tnp-ATP results in binding, and, upon illumination, in a covalent labeling of a non-catalytic-site peptide.
