We have investigated the energy requirement of mitochondrial protein import with a simplified system containing only isolated yeast mitochondria, energy sources and a purified precursor protein. This precursor was a fusion protein composed of 22 residues of the cytochrome oxidase subunit IV pre-sequence fused to mouse dihydrofolate reductase. Import of this protein required not only an energized inner membrane, but also ATP. ATP could be replaced by GTP, but not by CTP, TTP or non-hydrolyzable ATP analogs. Added ATP did not increase the membrane potential of respiring mitochondria; it supported import even if the proton-translocating mitochondrial ATPase and the entry of ATP into the matrix were blocked. We conclude that ATP exerts its effect on mitochondrial protein import outside the inner membrane.

Clathrin-coated vesicles isolated from calf brain contain an ATP-dependent proton pump. Proton movement was monitored by measuring [14C]methylamine distribution. Addition of Mg2+ and ATP to coated vesicles equilibrated with [14C]methylamine resulted in the generation of a 4- to 5-fold concentration gradient, corresponding to a delta pH of 0.6-0.7 units between the medium and the acidic inside of the coated vesicles. ATP-dependent [14C]methylamine uptake was abolished by the proton ionophore carbonylcyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP) and partially inhibited by the carboxyl reagent N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide but was unaffected by the Na+, K+-ATPase inhibitors strophanthidin (100 microM) and vanadate (10 microM) and the mitochondrial ATPase inhibitors oligomycin (10 microgram/ml) and aurovertin (1 microgram/ml). GTP, but not the nonhydrolyzable analog 5'-adenylyl imidodiphosphate, could support [14C]methylamine uptake. Dissipation of the membrane potential with K+ and valinomycin resulted in stimulation of [14C]methylamine uptake, whereas both FCCP and valinomycin stimulated the strophanthidin-resistant ATPase activity. These results are consistent with the existence of an electrogenic, ATP-dependent proton pump in clathrin-coated vesicles. This proton pump may play a role in the acidification events that are essential in receptor-mediated endocytosis.

We performed kinetic studies on the reactions of a fluorescent ATP analog, 2'-(5-dimethyl-aminonaphthalene-1-sulfonyl) amino-2'-deoxyATP (DNS-ATP), with E. coli F1-ATPase (EF1) and its subunits, to clarify the role of each subunit in the ATPase reaction. The following results were obtained. 1. One mol of EF1, which contains nonexchangeable 2 mol ATP and 0.5 mol ADP, binds 3 mol of DNS-ATP. The apparent dissociation constant, in the presence of Mg2+, was 0.23 microM. Upon binding, the fluorescence intensity of DNS-ATP at 520 nm increased exponentially with t1/2 of 35 s, and reached 3.5 times the original fluorescence level. Following the fluorescence increase, DNS-ATP was hydrolyzed, and the fluorescence intensity maintained its enhanced level. 2. The addition of an excess of ATP over the EF1-DNS-nucleotide complex, in the presence of Mg2+, decreased the fluorescence intensity rapidly, indicating the acceleration of DNS-nucleotide release from EF1. ADP and GTP also decreased the fluorescence intensity. 3. DCCD markedly inhibited the accelerating effect of ATP on DNS-nucleotide release from EF1 and the EF1-DNS-ATPase or -ATPase activity in a steady state. On the other hand, DCCD only slightly inhibited the fluorescence increase of DNS-ATP, due to its binding to EF1, and the rate of single cleavage of 1 mol of DNS-ATP per mol of alpha subunit of EF1. 4. In the presence of Mg2+, 0.65-0.82 mol of DNS-ATP binds to 1 mol of the isolated alpha subunit of EF1 with an apparent dissociation constant of 0.06-0.07 microM. Upon binding, the fluorescence intensity of DNS-ATP at 520 nm increased 1.55 fold very rapidly (t1/2 less than 1 s). No hydrolysis of DNS-ATP was observed upon the addition of the isolated alpha subunit. The fluorescence intensity of DNS-ATP was unaffected by the addition of the isolated beta subunit. DNS-ATP was also unhydrolyzed by the isolated beta subunit. 5. EF1-ATPase was reconstituted from alpha, beta, and gamma subunits in the presence of Mg2+ and ATP. The kinetic properties of the fluorescence change of DNS-ATP in the reaction with the reconstituted EF1-ATPase were quite similar to those of native EF1. Most of our findings are consistent with a simple mechanism that the high affinity catalytic site and low affinity regulatory site exist in the alpha subunit and beta subunit, respectively. However, the findings mentioned in (4) suggest that the binding of the alpha and beta subunit, which is mediated by the gamma subunit, induces conformational change(s) in the ATP binding site located probably in the alpha subunit, and that the conformational change(s) is essential to exert the full hydrolyzing activity.

The effects of anions on the ATPase activity of submitochondrial particles from mouse liver cells were investigated. Thiocyanite decreased the ATP hydrolysis, acting as a competitive inhibitor with respect to sulfite. All the anions tested changed the ATPase activity noncompetitively towards Mg-ATP. The hydrolysis of CTP, GTP, ITP and UTP was insensitive to sulfite and thiocyanate. In the presence of Mn2+, Ca2+, Co2+, Zn2+ and Ba2+ an anion-dependent hydrolysis of ATP took place. It was assumed that the anions control the rate of the limiting step of the ATPase reaction, since sulfite and thiocyanate change the activation energy of ATP hydrolysis. The data obtained are discussed in terms of a previously proposed mechanism of the anions effect on the activity of mitochondrial ATPase.

The microsomal fraction (13 000 -60 000 x g pellet) from pea stem shows a very high divalent cation-dependent, diethylstilbestrol- and orthovanadate-inhibited ATPase and ADPase activity. No detectable inorganic or organic pyrophosphatase and adenylate kinase and almost negligible activities of mitochondrial ATPase and of other phosphomonoesterases are present in this preparation. The ATPase and ADPase activities of microsomes have been solubilized with NaClO4 and then purified by gel filtration and DEAE-Sephadex fractionation to a final specific activity of 71.5 and 102 mumol Pi/min per mg for ATP and ADP, respectively. The purified enzyme hydrolyzes triphosphonucleosides (ATP, CTP, GTP, UTP) and diphosphonucleosides (ADP and to a lesser extent CDP, UDP, IDP) and presents pH optima of 6 for ATP and 7 for ADP. It requires Mg2+, Mn2+ or Ca2+ and is inhibited by diethylstilbestrol and orthovanadate. The conclusion that the ATPase and ADPase activities belong to the same enzyme is based on the following results: (1) parallel effects of diethylstilbestrol and orthovanadate on both ATPase and ADPase; (2) parallel behavior of ATPase and ADPase throughout all the purification steps; (3) non-additivity of ATPase and ADPase and (4) lack of dilution of beta-32P formed from [beta-32P]-ATP by unlabelled ADP.

Mitochondrial ATPase inhibitor protein (IF1) reacts reversibly with complex V and inhibits up to 90% of its ATPase activity. Both the rate and extent of inhibition are pH and temperature dependent and increase as the pH is lowered from pH 8 tp 6.7 (the lowest pH examined) or as the temperature is increased from 4 to 36 degrees C. Nucleotide triphosphates plus Mg2+ ions are required for inhibition of complex V ATPase activity by IF1. In the presence of Mg2+ ions, the effectiveness order of nucleotides is ATP greater than ITP greater than GTP greater than UTP. Highly purified complex V, which requires added phospholipids for expressing ATPase and ATP-Pi exchange activities, cannot be inhibited by IF1 plust ATP-Mg2+ unless phospholipids are also added. This indicates that the active state of the enzyme is necessary for the IF1 effect to be manifested, because F1-ATPase, which does not contain nor require phospholipids for catalyzing ATP hydrolysis, can be inhibited by IF1 plus ATP-Mg2+ in the absence of added phospholipids. The IF1-inhibited complex V, but not IF1-inhibited F1-ATPase, can be reactivated by incubation at pH greater than 7.0 in the absence of ATP-Mg2+. The reactivation rate is pH dependent and is influenced by temperature and enzyme concentration. Complex V preparations contain small and variable amounts of IF1. This endogenous IF1 behaves the same as added IF1 with respect to conditions described above for inhibition and reactivation and can result in 25-50% inhibition in different complex V preparations. However, complex V lacking endogenous IF1 can be reconstituted from F0, F1, oligomycin sensitivity conferring protein, and phospholipids. Inhibition of this reconstituted preparation in the presence of ATP-Mg2+ depends entirely on addition of IF1. In general, the ATP-Pi exchange activity of complex V is more sensitive to the chemical inhibitors of F1-AtPase tha its ATPase activity. This is not so, however, for IF1. Under conditions that IF1 caused approximately 75% inhibition of ATPase activity of complex V, no more than 10% of the ATP-Pi exchange activity was inhibited.

During net nucleoside triphosphate synthesis by chloroplast ATP synthase the extent of water oxygen incorporation into each nucleoside triphosphate released increases with decrease in ADP, GDP or IDP concentration. Likewise, during net ATP hydrolysis by the Mg2+-activated chloroplast ATPase, the extent of water oxygen incorporation into each Pi released increases as the ATP, GTP, or ITP concentration is decreased. However, the concentration ranges in which substrate modulation occurs differs with each nucleotide. Modulation of oxygen exchange during synthesis and hydrolysis of adenine nucleotides, as measured by variation in the extent of water oxygen incorporation into products, occurs below 250 microM. In contrast, guanosine and inosine nucleotides alter the extent of exchange at higher and much wider concentration ranges. Activation of the chloroplast ATPase by either heat or trypsin results in similar catalytic behavior as monitored by ATP modulation of oxygen exchanges during hydrolysis in the presence of Mg2+. More exchange capacity is evident with octylglucoside-activated enzyme at all ATP concentrations. High levels of tentoxin were also found to alter the catalytic exchange parameters resulting in continued water oxygen exchange into Pi released during hydrolysis at high ATP concentrations. Little or no oxygen exchange accompanies ATP hydrolysis in the presence of Ca2+. The [18O]Pi species formed from highly gamma-18O-labeled ATP at lower ATP concentrations gives a distribution as expected if only one catalytic pathway is operative at a given ATP concentration. This and other results support the concept of catalytic cooperativity between alternating sites as explanation for the modulation of oxygen exchange by nucleotide concentration.

Adenylate cyclase activity was determined by enzymatic conversion of [32P]ATP to [32P]cAMP using peripheral lymphocytes freshly isolated from human subjects. The lymphocyte enzyme was stimulated by the potent beta-adrenergic catecholamine agonist isoproterenol and by the nonhydrolyzable GTP-analog Gpp[NH]p. The two activators had a synergistic effect, and agonist-dependent enzyme activity followed simple Michaelis-Menten kinetics with respect to isoproterenol in the presence but not in the absence of Gpp[NH]p. Cyclic AMP production by intact lymphocytes, determined by protein binding assay, also followed simple Michaelis-Menten kinetics with respect to isoproterenol. Kact of isoproterenol was the same in intact cells and the broken cell assay in the presence of Gpp[NH]p, suggesting the indispensable role the GTP-binding coupling factors play in the intact lymphocyte. In 31 human subjects between the age of 21 and 103, adenylate cyclase activity in the presence of isoproterenol, Gpp[NH]p, or isoproterenol in the presence of Gpp[NH]p decreased with the increasing age of the subject. The sensitivity of the enzyme to stimulation by isoproterenol, defined as the Kact and determined in the presence of Gpp[NH]p, was the same in lymphocytes from young (less than 45 years) or elderly (greater than 75 years) subjects. These results suggest a deficiency in the lymphocyte adenylate cyclase system distal to the beta-adrenergic catecholamine receptor could account for deterioration of cAMP-mediated components of the immune response which occur with age.

Occupancy of only one of two hydrolytic sites on beef heart mitochondrial ATPase (F1) by the radioactive ATP analog, 2',3'-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl) adenosine 5'-[gamma-32P]-triphosphate (TNP-[gamma-32P]ATP) is associated with a low rate of hydrolysis of the substrate even under conditions otherwise favoring catalysis. Addition of excess nonradioactive TNP-ATP, in concentrations sufficient to fill catalytic Site 2 on the enzyme (Grubmeyer, C., and Penefsky, H. S. (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 3718-3727), accelerates the rate of hydrolysis of the radioactive substrate 15- to 20-fold. Since the excess nonradioactive substrate serves as an effective isotope trap, the involvement of medium TNP-[gamma-32P]-ATP as an intermediate is ruled out. These observations constitute direct evidence for catalytic cooperativity between active sites on F1. It is proposed that the use of high binding affinity substrates or substrate analogs, combined with the isotope trap technique, offers a new approach to the detection and study of catalytic site cooperativity in enzymes. The hydrolyzable nucleotides GTP, ITP, and ATP are excellent promoters of the hydrolysis of previously bound TNP-[gamma-32P]ATP whereas addition of nonhydrolyzable nucleotides such as TNP-ADP, ADP, and adenylyl imidodiphosphate result in a lower rate and extent of hydrolysis. AMP is without effect. Studies of the hydrolysis of [gamma-32P]ATP and TNP-[gamma-32P]ITP, under appropriate conditions, also provide evidence consistent with promoted catalysis. Based upon these findings, a model is presented for the mechanism of action of F1 in which site-site cooperativity reflects promoter-dependent hydrolysis of bound substrate.

1. Dinitrophenol and maleate anions increase VATP on the 'washed', isolated, mitochondrial ATPase. Hydrolyses of iso-GTP and 2'-deoxy ATP are also stimulated, while hydrolyses of other nucleoside triphosphates (ITP, GTP etc.) are not. 2. Preincubation with ATP, iso-GTP or 2'-deoxy ATP results in a metastable enzyme form with a raised V and a reduced Km. Dinitrophenol stimulates both ATP and ITP hydrolyses by this form. 3. The Arrhenius plot of ATP (but not ITP) hydrolysis by the isolated ATPase shows a break at about 18 degrees C, apparently because the rate limiting step of hydrolysis changes as the temperature rises. 4. Adenylyl beta, gamma-imidodiphosphate (AdoPP[NH]P) inhibits ITP hydrolysis in a pseudofirst order reaction. Its binding is competitive with ITP. If the enzyme is preincubated with ATP, the rate of AdoPP[NH]P binding increases. It is concluded that AdoPP[NH]P inhibits by binding to the hydrolytic site of the enzyme. 5. We conclude that ATP hydrolysis is limited by diphosphate release and ITP hydrolysis by bond splitting. Energy release during ATP hydrolysis is maximal at the ATP binding step, and during ITP hydrolysis at bond splitting.
