The amino acid sequence -Gly-X-X-X-X-Gly-Lys- occurs in many, diverse, nucleotide-binding proteins, and there is evidence that it forms a flexible loop which interacts with one or other of the phosphate groups of bound nucleotide. This sequence occurs as -Gly-Gly-Ala-Gly-Val-Gly-Lys- in the beta-subunit of the enzyme F1-ATPase, where it is thought to form part of the catalytic nucleotide-binding domain. Mutants of Escherichia coli were generated in which residue beta-lysine 155, at the end of the above sequence, was replaced by glutamine or glutamate. Properties of the soluble purified F1-ATPase from each mutant were studied. The results showed: 1) replacement of lysine 155 by Gln or Glu decreased the steady-state rate of ATP hydrolysis by 80 and 66%, respectively. 2) Characteristics of ATP hydrolysis at a single site were not markedly changed in the mutant enzymes, implying that lysine 155 is not directly involved in bond cleavage during ATP hydrolysis or bond formation during ATP synthesis. 3) The binding affinity for MgATP was weakened considerably in the mutants (Lys much much greater than Gln greater than Glu), whereas the binding affinity for MgADP was affected only mildly (Lys = Gln greater than Glu), suggesting that lysine 155 interacts with the gamma-phosphate of ATP bound at a single high affinity catalytic site. 4) The major determinant of inhibition of steady-state ATPase turnover rate in the mutant enzymes was an attenuation of positive catalytic cooperativity. 5) The data are consistent with the idea that during multisite catalysis residue 155 of beta-subunit undergoes conformational movement which changes substrate and product binding affinities.

Three mutations in the uncB gene encoding the a-subunit of the F0 portion of the F0F1-ATPase of Escherichia coli were produced by site-directed mutagenesis. These mutations directed the substitution of Glu-219 by Gln, or of Lys-203 by Ile, or of Glu-196 by Ala. Strains carrying either the Lys-203 or Glu-196 substitutions showed growth characteristics indistinguishable from the coupled control strain. Properties of membrane preparations from these strains were also similar to those from the coupled control strain. The substitution of Glu-219 by Gln resulted in a strain which was unable to utilise succinate as sole carbon source and had a growth-yield characteristic of an uncoupled strain. Membrane preparations of the Glu-219 mutant were proton impermeable and the F1-ATPase activity was inhibited by about 50% when membrane-bound. The results are discussed with reference to a previously proposed intramembranous proton pore involving subunits a and c.

The mitochondrial ATPase is rapidly inactivated by the arginine selective reagent phenylglyoxal. Recently, the purported major reacting residue has been reported for the chloroplast enzyme (Viale, A. M., and Vallejos, R. H. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 4958-4962) corresponding to Arg-328 in the beta-subunit of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondrial ATPase, a highly conserved residue in the ATPase. This arginine residue was concluded to be in the active site of the ATPase and possibly involved in the binding of nucleotides. To test this hypothesis, site-directed mutagenesis of the yeast enzyme has been used to replace Arg-328 with alanine and lysine. The modified genes were transformed into a yeast strain, DMY111, which contained a null mutation in the gene coding for the beta-subunit of the ATPase. Both of the substitutions were functional in vivo as demonstrated by the ability of yeast transformants to grow on a nonfermentable carbon source. The water soluble F1-ATPase with Ala-328 and Lys-328 were extremely unstable, but could be stabilized with glycerol. The rate of enzymatic decay followed first order kinetics with half-lives of 1.1 and 4.0 min for the mutants with Ala-328 and Lys-328 in 10% and 5% glycerol, respectively, while the wild type enzyme was stable even in the absence of glycerol. Kinetic analysis of both ATPase and GTPase has been determined. The wild type enzyme had two observable apparent Km and Vmax values for ATPase which were 0.056 mM-1 and 67 units/min/mg and 0.140 mM-1 and 100 units/min/mg. The mutant enzyme containing Lys-328 showed similar kinetic values of 0.066 mM-1 and 23 units/min/mg and 0.300 mM-1 and 43 units/min/mg. The mutant enzyme containing Ala-328, however, only demonstrated a single site with values of 0.121 mM-1 and 45 units/min/mg. In contrast to ATPase activity, kinetic values for GTPase were nearly identical for the wild type and mutant enzymes. Opposite to predicted results, the mutant enzymes were more sensitive to the reagent phenylglyoxal. These results indicate that Arg-328 is important for protein stability, but not involved in catalysis.

Pyridoxal 5'-diphospho-5'-adenosine (PLP-AMP), an adenine nucleotide affinity analog, was found to bind in a saturable fashion to isolated alpha-subunit from Escherichia coli F1-ATPase with a stoichiometry of one mol/mol and a Kd approximately 150 microM. The binding was shown to be specific by the following criteria: 1) ATP reduced the binding of PLP-AMP by 80%, and 2) PLP-AMP, like ATP, induced a conformational change which increased the mobility of alpha-subunit in nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and rendered alpha-subunit resistant to mild trypsin proteolysis. A stable adduct was formed between isolated alpha-subunit and [3H] PLP-AMP after reduction with NaBH4. alpha-Subunit labeled to the extent of 0.4-0.7 mol/mol was digested with trypsin and subjected to high pressure liquid chromatography purification, yielding a single labeled peptide. Automated amino acid sequencing showed that residue alpha-Lys-201 was specifically labeled. The results suggest that Lys-201 occupies a position proximate to the phosphate groups of bound ATP in the alpha.ATP complex. PLP-AMP did not support repolymerization of isolated alpha-, beta-, and gamma-subunits, consistent with previous reports that subunit repolymerization in vitro is dependent upon the presence of nucleoside triphosphate. Further, PLP-AMP-labeled alpha-subunit could not be reconstituted with isolated beta- and gamma-subunits in the presence of ATP, showing that occupation of the alpha-subunit nucleotide site by PLP-AMP impairs normal subunit-subunit interaction.

The affinity reagents 3'-O-(5-fluoro-2,4-dinitrophenyl)ADP ether (FDNP-ADP) and 3'-O-(5-fluoro-2,4-dinitrophenyl)ATP ether (FDNP-ATP) were synthesized and characterized. FDNP[14C]ADP was found to label the active site of mitochondrial F1-ATPase slowly at room temperature but with high specificity. F1 was effectively protected from the labeling reagent by ATP or ADP. An average number of 1.3 covalent label per F1 is sufficient for 100% inhibition of the ATPase. About 73% of the radioactive label was found covalently attached to beta subunits, 9% on alpha, practically none on gamma, delta, and epsilon. Cleavage of the labeled enzyme by pepsin and sequencing of the major radioactive peptide showed that the labeled amino acid residue in beta subunit was Lys beta 162. These results show that Lys beta 162 is indeed at the active site of F1 as assumed in the recently proposed models (Fry, D. C., Kuby, S. A., and Mildvan, A. S. (1986) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 83, 907-911; Duncan, I. M., Parsonage, D., and Senior, A. E. (1986) FEBS Lett. 208, 1-6).

The alpha-subunit of Escherichia coli F1-ATPase contains an adenine-specific noncatalytic nucleotide-binding domain. A recent proposal (Maggio, M. B., Pagan, J., Parsonage, D., Hatch, L., and Senior, A. E. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 8981-8984) suggested that this domain is formed by residues 160-340, approximately, in alpha-subunit. Within this proposed domain is a sequence Gly-X-X-X-X-Gly-Lys which is conserved in a large and diverse group of nucleotide-binding proteins and is thought to interact with phosphate groups of bound nucleotide. In this work, residue alpha Lys-175, the terminal residue of the above conserved sequence in F1-alpha-subunit, was mutagenized to Ile or Glu. The specific activity of purified mutant F1-ATPase was reduced by 2.5-fold (Ile) or 3-fold (Glu). Apparent binding of ATP to alpha-subunit, as measured by the centrifuge column procedure, was strongly impaired and ATP-induced conformational change in alpha-subunit, as measured by protection against trypsin proteolysis, was nearly abolished in both mutants. The results suggest that residue alpha Lys-175 is located within the nucleotide-binding domain of alpha-subunit, and that this residue is functionally involved in nucleotide binding. The results support previous suggestions that the alpha-subunit nucleotide-binding site is not involved, directly or indirectly, in catalysis.

We have measured the uptake of arginine into vacuolar membrane vesicles from Neurospora crassa. Arginine transport was found to be dependent on ATP hydrolysis, Mg2+, time, and vesicle protein with transported arginine remaining unmodified after entry into the vesicles. The Mg2+ concentration required for optimal arginine transport varied with the ATP concentration so that maximal transport occurred when the MgATP2- concentration was at a maximum and the concentrations of free ATP and Mg2+ were at a minimum. Arginine transport exhibited Michaelis-Menten kinetics when the arginine concentration was varied (Km = 0.4 mM). In contrast, arginine transport did not follow Michaelis-Menten kinetics when the MgATP2-concentration was varied (S0.5 = 0.12 mM). There was no inhibition of arginine transport when glutamine, ornithine, or lysine were included in the assay mixture. In contrast, arginine transport was inhibited 43% when D-arginine was present at a concentration 16-fold higher than that of L-arginine. Measurements of the internal vesicle volume established that arginine is concentrated 14-fold relative to the external concentration. Arginine transport was inhibited by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl-hydrazone, and potassium nitrate (an inhibitor of vacuolar ATPase activity). Inhibitors of the plasma membrane or mitochondrial ATPase such as sodium vanadate or sodium azide did not affect arginine transport activity. In addition, arginine transport had a nucleoside triphosphate specificity similar to that of the vacuolar ATPase. These results suggest that arginine transport is dependent on vacuolar ATPase activity and an intact proton channel and proton gradient.

This work concerns a biochemical genetic study of subunit 9 of the mitochondrial ATPase complex of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Subunit 9, encoded by the mitochondrial oli1 gene, contains a hydrophilic loop connecting two transmembrane stems. In one particular oli1 mit- mutant 2422, the substitution of a positively charged amino acid in this loop (Arg39----Met) renders the ATPase complex non-functional. A series of 20 revertants, selected for their ability to grow on nonfermentable substrates, has been isolated from mutant 2422. The results of DNA sequence analysis of the oli1 gene in each revertant have led to the recognition of three groups of revertants. Class I revertants have undergone a same-site reversion event: the mutant Met39 is replaced either by arginine (as in wild-type) or lysine. Class II revertants maintain the mutant Met39 residue, but have undergone a second-site reversion event (Asn35----Lys). Two revertants showing an oligomycin-resistant phenotype carry this same second-site reversion in the loop region together with a further amino acid substitution in either of the two membrane-spanning segments of subunit 9 (either Gly23----Ser or Leu53----Phe). Class III revertants contain subunit 9 with the original mutant 2422 sequence, and additionally carry a recessive nuclear suppressor, demonstrated to represent a single gene. The results on the revertants in classes I and II indicate that there is a strict requirement for a positively charged residue in the hydrophilic loop close to the boundary of the lipid bilayer. The precise location of this positive charge is less stringent; in functional ATPase complexes it can be found at either residue 39 or 35. This charged residue is possibly required to interact with some other component of the mitochondrial ATPase complex. These findings, together with hydropathy plots of subunit 9 polypeptides from normal, mutant and revertant strains, led to the conclusion that the hydrophilic loop in normal subunit 9 extends further than previously suggested, with the boundary of the N-terminal membrane-embedded stem lying at residue 34. The possibility is raised that the observed suppression of the 2422 mutant phenotype in class III revertants is manifested through an accommodating change in a nuclear-encoded subunit of the ATPase complex.

We have determined the nucleotide sequence of the URF A6L and ATPase 6 genes of the mitochondrial DNA of wild-type Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and of two independently isolated, cytoplasmically inherited CHO mutant cell lines that are resistant to oligomycin, an inhibitor of the mitochondrial ATP synthase (ATPase) complex. Comparison of the nucleotide sequences of the mutants with that of their parental cell line revealed a single nucleotide difference, a G-to-A transition at nucleotide 433 of the ATPase 6 gene. This single base pair change predicts a nonconservative amino acid change, with a glutamic acid residue being replaced by a lysine residue at amino acid 145 of the ATPase 6 gene product in the mutants. This glutamic acid residue and several others in the surrounding amino acid sequence are conserved among all species examined to date. Analyses of several of the biochemical properties of the oligomycin-resistant CHO mutants indicate that the glutamic acid residue at position 145 of subunit 6 of the mitochondrial ATP synthase complex is important for the binding of oligomycin to the enzyme complex, but is not essential for proton translocation.

We have labeled the nucleoside triphosphate-binding domain of Escherichia coli rho factor with the ATP affinity analog [3H]pyridoxal 5'-diphospho-5'-adenosine (PLP-AMP). PLP-AMP completely inactivates the RNA-dependent ATPase activity of rho upon incorporation of 3 mol of reagent/mol of hexameric rho protein. Although the potency of PLP-AMP is enhanced when an RNA substrate such as poly(C) is present, the stoichiometry for inhibition remains the same as in the absence of poly(C). The nucleotide substrate ATP competes very effectively for the binding site and protects against PLP-AMP inactivation. A domain of rho called N2, which comprises the distal two-thirds of the molecule (residues 152-419) and encompasses the region proposed to bind ATP, is labeled specifically in the presence of poly(C). Amino acid sequence analysis of the single [3H]PLP-AMP labeled proteolytic fragment showed Lys181 to be the site of modification, suggesting that this residue normally interacts with the gamma-phosphoryl of bound ATP. These results agree with our proposed tertiary structure for the ATP-binding domain of rho that places this lysine residue in a flexible loop above a hydrophobic nucleotide-binding pocket comprised of several parallel beta-strands, similar to adenylate kinase, F1-ATPase, and related ATP-binding proteins. Parallel studies of rho structure and function by site-directed mutagenesis and chemical modification support this interpretation.
