(1) Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) markedly inhibited the Vmax of multisite ATPase activity in Escherichia coli F1-ATPase at concentrations greater than 30% (v/v). Vmax/KM was reduced by 2 orders of magnitude in 40% (v/v) DMSO at pH 7.5, primarily due to reduction of Vmax. The inhibition was rapidly reversed on dilution into aqueous buffer. (2) KdATP at the first, high-affinity catalytic site was increased 1500-fold from 2.3 x 10(-10) to 3.4 x 10(-7) M in 40% DMSO at pH 7.5, whereas KdADP was increased 3.2-fold from 8.8 to 28 microM. This suggests that the high-affinity catalytic site presents a hydrophobic environment for ATP binding in native enzyme, that there is a significant difference between the conformation for ADP binding as opposed to ATP binding, and that the ADP-binding conformation is more hydrophilic. (3) Rate constants for hydrolysis and resynthesis of bound ATP in unisite catalysis were slowed approximately 10-fold by 40% DMSO; however, the equilibrium between bound Pi/bound ATP was little changed. The reduction in catalysis rates may well be related to the large increase in KdATP (less constrained site). (4) Significant Pi binding to E. coli F1 could not be detected either in 40% DMSO or in aqueous buffer using a centrifuge column procedure. (5) We infer, on the basis of the measured constants KaATP, K2 (hydrolysis/resynthesis of ATP), k+3 (Pi release), and KdADP and from estimates of k-3 (Pi binding) that delta G for ATP hydrolysis in 40% DMSO-containing pH 7.5 buffer is between -9.2 and -16.8 kJ/mol.

Purified TF1 (F1-ATPase from a thermophilic bacterium PS3) synthesizes enzyme-bound ATP from medium Pi and enzyme-bound ADP in the presence of 50% dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). Once ATP was formed on the enzyme, it was not released even after removal of DMSO and Pi from the solution. The half maximal concentration of medium Pi for ATP synthesis was 1mM. The pH optimum for enzyme-bound ATP formation was about 6.5. Under the optimum conditions, a yield of up to 0.8 mol of ATP/mol of TF1 was obtained.

F1-ATPase isolated from bovine heart mitochondria catalyzes the synthesis of enzyme-bound ATP from externally added ADP and Pi in the presence of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) (Sakamoto, J. & Tonomura, Y. (1983) J. Biochem. 93, 1601-1614). When the concentration of DMSO in the reaction medium was decreased from 40% to 10% (w/v), the maximal amount of ATP formed decreased from 0.50 to 0.14 mol/mol F1 and the Pi concentration required for the half-maximal amount of ATP formed increased from 0.7 to 11 mM. On the other hand, the ADP concentration required for the half-maximal value and the rate of ATP formation were unaffected by the decrease in the DMSO concentration. These results suggest that DMSO increases the affinity of F1 and Pi and shifts the equilibrium from the enzyme-ADP-Pi complex to the enzyme-ATP complex during the ATP synthesis.

This study determined if reported decreases in the delta subunit of ATP synthase and nuclear-encoded cytochrome c oxidase subunits in hearts of copper-deficient rats were secondary to the heart disease pathology or due to lack of the trace element. Male weanling Long-Evans rats were randomly divided into six groups: rats fed a copper-adequate or copper-deficient diet (with free access) with or without 5% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in the drinking water and rats pair-fed the copper-adequate or copper-deficient diet without DMSO treatment. After 4 wk, rats in the groups fed the copper-deficient diet had lower liver superoxide dismutase and heart cytochrome c oxidase activities compared with groups fed the copper-adequate diet. Administration of DMSO, an antioxidant, and energy restriction (pair-feeding) partially blocked cardiac hypertrophy in rats fed the copper-deficient diet. Greater mitochondrial volume density and mitochondrial:myofibrillar ratio and disrupted myofibrils and basal laminae were observed in the hearts from rats fed the copper-deficient diet and not treated with DMSO compared with hearts from groups fed the copper-adequate diet. The DMSO-treated rats fed the copper-deficient diet had hearts with intact structure but enlarged mitochondria compared with other groups fed the copper-deficient diet. The delta subunit of ATP synthase and the nuclear-encoded cytochrome c oxidase subunits IV and V were depressed in rats fed a copper-deficient diet regardless of antioxidant treatment and pair-feeding. These data suggest that the effects of copper deficiency upon ATP synthase and cytochrome c oxidase proteins are not due to the cardiac pathology.

Purified soluble bovine mitochondrial F(1)F(o)-ATP synthase contained 2 mol of ATP, 2 mol of ADP and 6 mol of P(i)/mol. Incubation of this enzyme with 1 mM [(32)P]P(i) caused the exchange of 2 mol of P(i)/mol of F(1)F(o)-ATP synthase. The labelled phosphates were not displaced by ATP. Transfer of F(1)F(o)-ATP synthase to a buffer containing 30% (v/v) DMSO and 1 mM [(32)P]P(i) resulted in the loss of bound nucleotides with the retention of 1 mol of ATP/mol of F(1)F(o)-ATP synthase. Six molecules of [(32)P]P(i) were incorporated by exchange with the existing bound phosphate. Removal of the DMSO by passage of the enzyme through a centrifuged column of Sephadex G-50 resulted in the exchange of one molecule of bound [(32)P]P(i) into the bound ATP. Azide did not prevent this [(32)P]P(i)<-->ATP exchange reaction. The bound labelled ATP could be displaced from the enzyme by exogenous ATP. Addition of ADP to the DMSO-pretreated F(1)F(o)-ATP synthase in the original DMSO-free buffer resulted in the formation of an additional molecule of bound ATP. It was concluded that following pretreatment with and subsequent removal of DMSO the F(1)F(o)-ATP synthase contained one molecule of ATP at a catalytic site which was competent to carry out a phosphate-ATP exchange reaction using enzyme-bound inorganic radiolabelled phosphate. In the presence of ADP an additional molecule of labelled ATP was formed from enzyme-bound P(i) at a second catalytic site. The bound phosphate-ATP exchange reaction is not readily accommodated by current mechanisms for the ATP synthase.

Beef-heart mitochondrial F1F0-ATP synthase contained six molecules of bound inorganic phosphate (Pi). This phosphate exchanged completely with exogenous 32Pi when the enzyme was exposed to 30% (v/v) dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and then returned to a DMSO-free buffer (Beharry and Bragg 2001). Only two molecules were replaced by 32Pi when the enzyme was not pretreated with DMSO. These two molecules of 32Pi were not displaced from the enzyme by the treatment with 1 mM ATP. Similarly, two molecules of bound 32Pi remained on the DMSO-pretreated enzyme following addition of ATP, that is, four molecules of 32Pi were displaced by ATP. The ATP-resistant 32Pi was removed from the enzyme by pyrophosphate. It is proposed that these molecules of 32Pi are bound at an unfilled adenine nucleotide-binding noncatalytic site on the enzyme. Brief exposure of the enzyme loaded with two molecules of 32Pi to DMSO, followed by removal of the DMSO, resulted in the loss of the bound 32Pi and in the formation of two molecules of bound ATP from exogenous ADP. A third catalytic site on the enzyme was occupied by ATP, which could undergo a Pi <--> ATP exchange reaction with bound Pi. The presence of two catalytic sites containing bound Pi is consistent with the X-ray crystallographic structure of F1 (Bianchet, et al., 1998). Thus, five of the six molecules of bound Pi were accounted for. Three molecules of bound Pi were at catalytic sites and participated in ATP synthesis or Pi <--> ATP exchange. Two other molecules of bound Pi were present at a noncatalytic adenine nucleotide-binding site. The location and role of the remaining molecule of bound Pi remains to be established. We were unable to demonstrate, using chemical modification of sulfhydryl groups by iodoacetic acid, any gross difference in the conformation of F1F0 in DMSO-containing compared with DMSO-free buffers.

A membrane protein with two transmembrane domains was synthesized by means of the thioester method. The F1F0 ATP synthase subunit c (Sub.c), which consists of 79 amino acid residues (MW 8257), was chosen as a target. For synthetic purposes, two building blocks, Boc-[Lys34(Boc)]-Sub.c(1-38)-SCH2CH2CO-Ala and Sub.c(39-79), were synthesized via solid-phase methods using Boc chemistry. RP-HPLC purification conditions for the transmembrane peptide were examined. As a result, a combination of a mixture of formic acid, 1-propanol and water with a phenyl column was found to be useful for separating the transmembrane peptide. The purified building blocks were condensed in DMSO in the presence of silver chloride, 3,4-dihydro-3-hydroxy-4-oxo-1,2,3-benzotriazine (HOOBt), N,N-diisopropylethylamine to give the product, Sub.c, after removal of Boc groups (yield 16%). The yield of the condensation reaction could be improved to 23% by raising the reaction temperature to 50 degrees C, and to 26% when a mixture of chloroform and methanol was used as a solvent.

Plant chloroplasts are particularly threatened by free radical attack. We incubated purified soluble spinach chloroplast F(0)F(1) (CF(0)F(1), EC 3.6.3.34) with an Fe(2+)/H(2)O(2)/ascorbate system, and about 60% inactivation of the ATPase activity was reached after 60 min. Inactivation was not prevented by omission of H(2)O(2), by addition of catalase or superoxide dismutase, nor by the scavengers mannitol, DMSO, or BHT. No evidence for enzyme fragmentation or oligomerization was detected by SDS-PAGE. The chloroplast ATP synthase is resistant to attack by the reactive oxygen species commonly found at the chloroplast level. DTT in the medium completely prevented the inhibition, and its addition after the inhibition partially recovered the activity of the enzyme. CF(0)F(1) thiol residues were lost upon oxidation. The rate of thiol modification was faster than the rate of enzyme inactivation, suggesting that the thiol residues accounting for the inhibition may be hindered. Enzyme previously oxidized by iodobenzoate was not further inhibited by the oxidative system. The production of ascorbyl radical was identified by EPR and is possibly related to CF(0)F(1) inactivation. It is thus suggested that the ascorbyl radical, which accumulates under plant stress, might regulate CF(0)F(1).

F1Fo-ATP synthase is a large multiprotein complex, including at least 10 subunits in the membrane-bound Fo-sector. One of these Fo proteins is subunit e (Su e), involved in the stable dimerization of F1Fo-ATP synthase, and required for the establishment of normal cristae membrane architecture. As a step toward enabling structure-function studies of the Fo-sector, the Su e transmembrane region was structurally characterized in micelles. Based on a series of NMR and CD (circular dichroism) studies, a structural model of the Su e/micelle complex was constructed, indicating Su e is largely helical, and emerges from the micelle with Arg20 near the phosphate head groups. Su e only adopts this folded conformation in the context of the micelle, and is essentially disordered in DMSO, water or trifluoroethanol/water. Within the micelle the C-terminal Ala10-Arg20 stretch is helical, while the region N-terminal may be transiently helical, based on negative CSI (chemical shift index) values. The Ala10-Arg20 helix contains the G14XXXG18 motif, which has been proposed to play an important role in dimer formation with another protein from the Fo-sector. The Gly on the C-terminal end of this motif (Gly18) is slightly more mobile than the more buried Gly14, based on NMR order parameter measurements (Gly14 S2 = 0.950; Gly18 S2 = 0.895). Only one Su e transmembrane peptide is bound per micelle, and micelles are 22-23 A in diameter, composed of 51 +/- 4 dodecylphosphocholine detergent molecules. Although there is no evidence for Su e homodimerization via the transmembrane domain, potentially synergistic roles for N-terminal (membrane) and C-terminal (soluble) domain interactions may still occur. Furthermore, the presence of a buried charged residue (Arg7) suggests there may be interactions with other Fo-sector protein(s) that stabilize this charge, and possibly drive the folding of the N-terminal 9 residues of the transmembrane domain.

Here we show how fast dynamics between radicals and solvent molecules in liquid solutions can be detected by comparison of coupling factors determined by nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion (NMRD) measurements and dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) enhancement measurements at high magnetic field (9.2 T). This is important for a theoretical understanding of the Overhauser DNP mechanism at high magnetic fields and thus for optimization of the DNP agent/target system for high resolution liquid state NMR applications. Mixtures of the solution of TEMPOL radicals in water, toluene, acetone and DMSO have been investigated. The results are compared to the classical hard-sphere model and molecular dynamic simulations. Our results clearly indicate that fast sub-ps dynamics, which are not related to classical rotational or translational motion of the molecules, significantly contribute to the Overhauser DNP mechanism at high magnetic fields.
