1. The synthesis of dibutylchloromethyltin chloride, a new covalent inhibitor of the mitochondrial ATP synthase [oligomycin-sensitive ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase)] complex is described, together with a method for preparing dibutylchloro[(3)H]methyltin chloride. 2. Studies with the yeast mitochondrial oligomycin-sensitive ATPase complex show that dibutylchloromethyltin chloride inhibits both the membrane-bound enzyme and also the purified Triton X-100-dispersed preparation. 3. F(1)-ATPase is not inhibited even at 500nmol of dibutylchloromethyltin chloride/mg of protein, and the general inhibitory properties are similar to those of triethyltin, oligomycin and dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide, known energy-transfer inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation. 4. Binding studies with yeast submitochondrial particles show that dibutylchloromethyltin chloride antagonizes the binding of triethyl[(113)Sn]tin, indicating that there is an interaction between the two inhibitor-binding sites. 5. Unlike triethyltin, inhibition by dibutylchloromethyltin chloride is due to a covalent interaction which titrates a component of the inner mitochondrial membrane present at a concentration of 8-9nmol/mg of protein. 6. All of the labelled component can be extracted with chloroform/methanol (2:1, v/v), and sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of the chloroform/methanol extract indicates that the labelled component has an apparent mol.wt. of 6000-8000. However, t.l.c. reveals the presence of only one labelled component which is lipophilic and non-protein and is distinct from the free inhibitor, mitochondrial phospholipids and the dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide-binding protein (subunit 9). 7. Inhibition of mitochondrial ATPase and oxidative phosphorylation is correlated with specific interaction with a non-protein lipophilic component of the mitochondrial inner membrane which is proposed to be a co-factor or intermediate of oxidative phosphorylation.

Incubation of mitochondria from Neurospora crassa and Saccharomyces cerevisiae with the radioactive ATPase inhibitor [14C]dicyclohexylcarbodiimide results in the irreversible and rather specific labelling of a low-molecular-weight polypeptide. This dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-binding protein is identical with the smallest subunit (Mr 8000) of the mitochondrial ATPase complex, and it occurs as oligomer, probably as hexamer, in the enzyme protein. The dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-binding protein is extracted from whole mitochondria with neutral chloroform/methanol both in the free and in the inhibitor-modified form. In Neurospora and yeast, this extraction is highly selective and the protein is obtained in homogeneous form when the mitochondria have been prewashed with certain organic solvents. The bound dicyclohexylcarbodiimide label is enriched in the purified protein up to 50-fold compared to whole mitochondria. Based on the amino acid analysis, the dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-binding protein from Neurospora and yeast consists of at least 81 and 76 residues, respectively. The content of hydrophobic residues is extremely high. Histidine and tryptophan are absent. The N-terminal amino acid is tyrosine in Neurospora and formylmethionine in yeast.

1. Isolation of ATPase from rat liver submitochondrial particles by chloroform treatment requires the presence of ATP or ADP during enzyme solubilization. In the absence of adenine nucleotides the enzyme activity is very low although all protein components of F1-ATPase are released. The low concentrations of ATP or ADP required (5 microM) indicate that the high affinity nucleotide-binding sites are involved in enzyme stabilization. Other nucleotides tested (ITP, GTP, UTP, CTP) were found to be less effective. 2. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunodiffusion in agar plates revealed that in the absence of adenine nucleotides a fraction of F1-ATPase released by chloroform treatment is split into fragments. The part of the dissociated enzyme molecule has a molecular weight identical with that of a beta-subunit of F1-ATPase. 3. Dissociation of the F1-ATPase molecule could also be prevented by aurovertin. 4. Crude F1-ATPase solubilized by chloroform treatment can be further purified by Sepharose 6B gel filtration. Specific ATPase activity of the purified enzyme was 90 mumol Pi/min per mg protein and the enzyme was composed of five protein subunits (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon) with molecular weights 58 000, 55 000, 28 000, 13 000 and 8000, respectively. 5. Chloroform-released F1-ATPase from rat liver mitochondria displayed immunochemical cross-reactivity with that isolated from beef heart mitochondria.

The dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-binding protein of Aspergillus nidulans has been identified as the smallest subunit of the mitochondrial ATPase complex, and has a molecular weight of approximately 8000. It is extractable from whole mitochondria and from the purified enzyme in neutral chloroform/methanol, contains 30% polar amino acids, and the N-terminal amino acid has been identified as tyrosine. Using a double-labelling technique in the absence and presence of cycloheximide, followed by immunoprecipitation of the enzyme complex with antiserum against Neuospora crassa F1 ATPase, it has been shown that this subunit is synthesized on cytoplasmic ribosomes.

A simple technique of purification of the soluble pig heart mitochondrial F1-ATPase is described. It consists of removal of extrinsic proteins from mitochondrial membranes before extraction with chloroform and ammonium sulfate fractionation. A high degree of purity, an excellent stability and a good yield are attained after gel filtration through an Ultrogel ACA 34 column equilibrated in the presence of 50% glycerol. The tested properties of the F1-ATPase prepared by this method are similar to those of the same enzyme extracted by sonication. The enzyme is virtually devoid of tightly bound nucleotides. In addition, some characteristics of the behaviour of the beta subunit are shown.

1. Grinding of epimastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi with glass powder in a mortar yielded a Mg2+-activated adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) preparation which was highly sensitive to oligomycin. 2. Chloroform treatment of the particles resulted in the solubilization of an ATPase which was (a) activated by MgCl2; (b) slightly inhibited by CaCl2; (c) activated by sulphite and bisulphite; (d) had an optimum pH of 7.6; and (e) had a Km for ATP of 2.1 mM (in the presence of 4 mM MgCl2). 3. The solubilized enzyme was insensitive to oligomycin and leucinostatin, which inhibited the membrane-bound ATPase, though inhibited by efrapeptin and quercetin. 4. The results indicate that the chloroform-extracted enzyme is a soluble F1-ATPase similar to those isolated from mammalian mitochondria.

The F0 sector of the ATP synthase complex facilitates proton translocation through the membrane, and via interaction with the F1 sector, couples proton transport to ATP synthesis. The molecular mechanism of function is being probed by a combination of mutant analysis and structural biochemistry, and recent progress on the Escherichia coli F0 sector is reviewed here. The E. coli F0 is composed of three types of subunits (a, b, and c) and current information on their folding and organization in F0 is reviewed. The structure of purified subunit c in chloroform-methanol-H2O resembles that in native F0, and progress in determining the structure by NMR methods is reviewed. Genetic experiments suggest that the two helices of subunit c must interact as a functional unit around an essential carboxyl group as protons are transported. In addition, a unique class of suppressor mutations identify a transmembrane helix of subunit a that is proposed to interact with the bihelical unit of subunit c during proton transport. The role of multiple units of subunit c in coupling proton translocation to ATP synthesis is considered. The special roles of Asp61 of subunit c and Arg210 of subunit a in proton translocation are also discussed.

A simple and rapid method for the isolation of bovine heart mitochondrial adenosine 5'-triphosphatase (F1-ATPase) was developed. Mitochondria were purified by differential centrifugation and stored frozen. After thawing. F1-ATPase was released by treatment with chloroform. Purification of the enzyme was achieved by polyethylene glycol precipitation followed by chromatography on Procion Navy H-ER beaded cellulose in the presence of MgCl2. F1-ATPase was eluted by ATP in the absence of MgCl2. The purity of the enzyme was proved by SDS-polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The purified F1-ATPase showed slightly non-hyperbolic kinetics towards ATP and nearly complete inhibition in the presence of millimolar concentrations of ADP.

This report describes the first isolation and molecular characterization of the mitochondrial F1-ATPase from Trypanosoma brucei. The isolation procedure utilized is a modified chloroform extraction procedure. In contrast to earlier reports on the F1-ATPase from other trypanosomatids, the F1-ATPase we have isolated from the procyclic form of T. brucei a complex composed of five distinct subunits. Apparent molecular weights of these subunits are 55,000 [alpha], 42,000 [beta], 32,000 [gamma], 22,000 [delta], and 17,000 [epsilon]. The F1 moiety which possesses the active site of the H(+)-ATPase has an ATPase activity in the standard Tris-HCl coupled enzyme assay with a Vmax of 22.96 mumol min-1 (mg protein)-1 and a Km value of 0.60 mM. This ATPase activity is cold labile and is not susceptible to oligomycin inhibition as is the membrane bound enzyme. Upon reconstitution with F1-ATPase depleted membranes (urea particles) the ATPase regains oligomycin sensitivity to the same extent as that found in the intact inner membrane vesicles. ATP synthesis is also restored to these particles upon reconstitution with F1. These results indicate that this F1-ATPase as isolated is intact with respect to all the critical H(+)-ATPase functions.
