The membrane-integrated, proton-translocating F0 portion of the ATP synthase (F1F0) from Escherichia coli is built up from three kinds of subunits a, b and c with the proposed stoichiometry of 1:2:10 +/- 1. We have dissociated the F0 complex by treatment with trichloroacetate (3 M) at pH 8.0, in the presence of deoxycholate (1%) and N-tetradecyl-N, N-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propanesulfonate (Zwittergent 3-14, 5%). The subunits were separated by gel filtration with trichloroacetate (1 M) included in the elution buffer. The homogeneity of the fractions was checked by rechromatography and SDS-gel electrophoresis. After integration into phospholipid vesicles each subunit alone as well as all possible combinations were tested for H+ translocating activity and binding of F1. A functional H+ channel could only be reconstituted by the combination a1b2c10 which corresponds to that of native F0.

H+-translocating, Mg2+-ATPase was solubilized from vacuolar membranes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with the zwitterionic detergent N-tetradecyl-N,N-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propanesulfonate and purified by glycerol density gradient centrifugation. Partially purified vacuolar membrane H+-ATPase, which had a specific activity of 18 units/mg of protein, was separated almost completely from acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase. The purified enzyme required phospholipids for maximal activity and hydrolyzed ATP, GTP, UTP, and CTP, with this order of preference. Its Km value for Mg2+-ATP was determined to be 0.21 mM and its optimal pH was 6.9. ADP inhibited the enzyme activity competitively, with a Ki value of 0.31 mM. The activity of purified ATPase was strongly inhibited by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, tributyltin, 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzoxazole, diethylstilbestrol, and quercetin, but was not affected by oligomycin, sodium azide, sodium vanadate, or miconazole. It was not inhibited at all by antiserum against mitochondrial F1-ATPase or mitochondrial F1-ATPase inhibitor protein. These results indicated that vacuolar membrane H+-ATPase is different from either yeast plasma membrane H+-ATPase or mitochondrial F1-ATPase. The vacuolar membrane H+-ATPase was found to be composed of two major polypeptides a and b of Mr = 89,000 and 64,000, respectively, and a N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide binding polypeptide c of Mr = 19,500, whose polypeptide composition was also different from those of either plasma membrane H+-ATPase or mitochondrial F1-ATPase of S. cerevisiae.
