A mutant strain of Escherichia coli was isolated in which Gly-48 of the mature epsilon-subunit of the energy-transducing adenosine triphosphatase was replaced by Asp. This amino acid substitution caused inhibition of ATPase activity (about 70%), loss of ATP-dependent proton translocation and lowered oxidative phosphorylation, but did not affect proton translocation through the F0. Purified F1-ATPase from the mutant strain bound to stripped membranes with the same affinity as the normal F1-ATPase. Partial revertant strains were isolated in which Pro-47 of the epsilon-subunit was replaced by Ser or Thr. Pro-47 and Gly-48 are predicted to be residues 2 and 3 in a Type II beta-turn and the Gly-48 to Asp substitution is predicted to cause a change from a Type II to a Type I or III beta-turn. Space-filling models of the beta-turn (residues 46-49) in the normal, mutant and partial revertant epsilon-subunits indicate that the peptide oxygen between Pro-47 and Gly-48 is in a different position to the peptide oxygen between Pro-47 and Asp-48 and that the substitution of Pro-47 by either Ser or Thr restores an oxygen close to the original position. It is suggested that the peptide oxygen between Pro-47 and Gly-48 of the epsilon-subunit is involved either structurally in inter-subunit H-bonding or directly in proton movements through the F1-ATPase.

One subunit of the membrane portion of yeast ATP synthase was purified. Structural data are reported. This subunit (subunit 4) is the fourth polypeptide of the complex when classifying subunits in order of decreasing molecular mass. Its apparent relative molecular mass is about 25,000. The polypeptide was extracted from the complex with a mixture of chloroform/methanol (1/1) and 0.5 M pyridinium acetate pH 6.0. Purification was performed with a combination of gel permeation chromatography on Sephadex G-75 and high-performance gel permeation chromatography with aqueous solvents containing 5% sodium dodecyl sulfate. The amino acid composition is reported here. The following sequence of the NH2-terminal ten residues was determined: Met-Ser-Ser-Thr-Pro-Glu-Lys-Gln-Thr-Asp.

A 50-amino acid peptide predicted by chemical modification studies of F1 and by comparison with adenylate kinase to comprise part of an ATP-binding domain within the beta-subunit of mitochondrial ATP synthase has been synthesized and purified. In the numbering system used for bovine heart beta, the peptide consists of amino acid residues from aspartate 141 at the N-terminal end to threonine 190 at the carboxyl end. In Tris-Cl buffer, pH 7.4, the peptide undergoes a dramatic reaction with ATP resulting in precipitate formation. Analysis of the precipitate shows it to contain both peptide and ATP. Similar to the ATPase activity of F1 and the binding of nucleotide to the enzyme, the capacity of ATP to induce precipitation of the peptide is decreased markedly by lowering pH. Interaction of the peptide with the fluorescent ATP analog, TNP-ATP (2'(3')-O-(2,4-6-trinitrophenyl)-adenosine 5'-triphosphate), can be demonstrated in solution at low concentrations. A 7-fold enhancement in fluorescence is observed when 2.5 microM TNP-ATP interacts with 2.5 microM peptide. Divalent cation is neither required for ATP-induced precipitation of the peptide nor for demonstrating interaction between TNP-ATP and peptide, just as Mg2+ is not required for nucleotide binding to F1. These results indicate that the beta-subunit peptide studied here comprises at least part of a nucleotide-binding domain within the mitochondrial ATP synthase complex.

The three mitochondrially translated ATP synthase subunits of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were extracted from the enzyme and from whole mitochondria using an organic solvent mixture and then purified by reverse-phase HPLC. The amino acid composition of subunit 6 is close to the one predicted from the oli2 gene. The partial amino terminal sequence of subunit 6 reveals a post-translational cleavage site between the Thr-10 and Ser-11 residues of the precursor. Thus, mature subunit 6 contains 249 amino acid residues and displays a molecular mass of 27943 Da.

cDNA clones encoding a precursor of the alpha-subunit of the mitochondrial ATP synthase complex have been isolated from a bovine liver cDNA library using the alpha-subunit gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a probe. Analyses of the nucleotide sequence of these cDNA clones reveal that the bovine liver ATP synthase alpha-subunit is initially synthesized as a precursor with an aminoterminal extension 43 amino acids in length. This aminoterminal presequence contains seven basic residues, no acidic residues, and seven polar uncharged serine and threonine residues. A single mRNA species, approximately 1.85 kb in length, was detected for the ATP synthase alpha-subunit precursor in both bovine liver and heart.

A sequence of 10 amino acids (I-C-S-D-K-T-G-T-L-T) of ion motive ATPases such as Na+/K+-ATPase is similar to the sequence of the beta subunit of H+-ATPases, including that of Escherichia coli (I-T-S-T-K-T-G-S-I-T) (residues 282-291). The Asp (D) residue phosphorylated in ion motive ATPase corresponds to Thr (T) of the beta subunit. This substitution may be reasonable because there is no phosphoenzyme intermediate in the catalytic cycle of F1-ATPase. We replaced Thr-285 of the beta subunit by an Asp residue by in vitro mutagenesis and reconstituted the alpha beta gamma complex from the mutant (or wild-type) beta and wild-type alpha and gamma subunits. The uni- and multisite ATPase activities of the alpha beta gamma complex with mutant beta subunits were about 20 and 30% of those with the wild-type subunit. The rate of ATP binding (k1) of the mutant complex under uni-site conditions was about 10-fold less than that of the wild-type complex. These results suggest that Thr-285, or the region in its vicinity, is essential for normal catalysis of the H+-ATPase. The mutant complex could not form a phosphoenzyme under the conditions where the H+/K+-ATPase is phosphorylated, suggesting that another residue(s) may also be involved in formation of the intermediate in ion motive ATPase. The wild-type alpha beta gamma complex had slightly different kinetic properties from the wild-type F1, possibly because it did not contain the epsilon subunit.

Two ATPase inhibitor proteins were isolated together from bovine heart mitochondria by a new procedure; each was purified further. The one inhibitor is a Ca2+-binding protein. It was found to contain 2 cysteine residues/mol as well as threonine and proline residues, all of which the other inhibitor (first isolated by Pullman and Monroy (Pullman, M.E., and Monroy, G. C. (1963) J. Biol. Chem. 238, 3762-3769] lacks. Its minimal molecular weight was 6390 with 62 amino acid residues/mol, and its isoelectric point was 4.6. Besides differences in size, composition, and response to Ca2+, the two inhibitor proteins also differed in response to sulfhydryl compounds, pH, KCl, and cardiolipin. Inhibition by the two inhibitor proteins was additive. Both cross-reacted with mitochondrial ATPase from rat skeletal muscle. Calmodulin, with or without Ca2+, had no effect on the activity of either inhibitor protein. Antibody to the Ca2+-binding inhibitor protein did not interact with the Pullman-Monroy inhibitor or have any effect on its activity. The antibody interacted with intact submitochondrial particles that contained both inhibitor proteins but not with particles from which only the Ca2+-binding inhibitor had been removed. Clearly, the two inhibitors are distinct immunologically as well as in other properties. The two types of inhibitor protein were also isolated from rat skeletal muscle mitochondria by the new procedure.

When the bovine mitochondrial F1-ATPase is inactivated with dicyclohexyl[14C]carbodiimide and then gel-filtered, from 2 to 3 g atoms of 14C are incorporated/mol of enzyme. Prior inactivation of the enzyme by the modification of an essential tyrosine residue with 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan, a reaction that can be reversed by thiols, does not affect the irreversible inactivation of the ATPase by dicyclohexyl[14C]carbodiimide. During the large scale modification of the F1-ATPase by dicyclohexyl[14C]carbodiimide which led to 70% inactivation, 1.9 g atoms of 14C were incorporated/mol of enzyme. Isolation of the alpha, beta, and gamma subunits from this large scale inactivation revealed that the gram atoms of 14C bound per mol of each of the subunits was: alpha, 0.04; beta, 0.56; and gamma, 0.04. The majority of the radioactivity in a cyanogen bromide digest of the 14C-labeled beta subunit was isolated in a fragment that has the following amino acid sequence: Glu-Leu-Ile-Asn-Asn-Val-Ala-Lys-Ala-His-Gly-Gly-Tyr-Ser-Val-Phe-Ala-Gly-Val-Gly -Glu-Arg-Thr-Arg-Glu-Gly-Asn-Asp-Leu-Tyr-Glu*-His-Met; where Glu* represents the N gamma-glutamyl derivative of dicyclohexyl[14C]urea.

The amino acid sequence of the proteolipid subunit of the ATP synthase was analyzed in six mutant strains from Escherichia coli K12, selected for their increased resistance towards the inhibitor N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. All six inhibitor-resistant mutants were found to be altered at the same position of the proteolipid, namely at the isoleucine at residue 28. Two substitutions could be identified. In type I this residue was substituted by a valine resulting in a moderate decrease in sensitivity to dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Type II contained a threonine residue at this position. Here a strong resistance was observed. These two amino acid substitutions did not influence functional properties of the ATPase complex. ATPase as well as ATP-dependent proton-translocating activities of mutant membranes were indistinguishable from the wild type. At elevated concentrations, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide still bound specifically to the aspartic acid at residue 61 of the mutant proteolipid as in the wild type, and thereby inhibited the activity of the ATPase complex. It is suggested that the residue 28 substituted in the resistant mutants interacts with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide during the reactions leading to the covalent attachment of the inhibitor to the aspartic acid at residue 61. This could indicate that these two residues are in close vicinity and would thus provide a first hint on the functional conformation of the proteolipid. Its polypeptide chain would have to fold back to bring together these two residues separated by a segment of 32 residues.

The mechanisms of energy coupling and catalytic co-operativity are not yet understood for H(+)-ATPase (ATP synthase). An Escherichia coli gamma subunit frameshift mutant (downstream of Thr-gamma 277) could not grow by oxidative phosphorylation because both mechanisms were defective (Iwamoto, A., Miki, J., Maeda, M., and Futai, M. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 5043-5048). The defect(s) of the gamma frameshift was obvious, because the mutant subunit had a carboxyl terminus comprising 16 residues different from those in the wild type. However, in this study, we surprisingly found that an Arg-beta 52-->Cys or Gly-beta 150-->Asp replacement could suppress the deleterious effects of the gamma frameshift. The membranes of the two mutants (gamma frameshift/Cys-beta 52 with or without a third mutation, Val-beta 77-->Ala) exhibited increased oxidative phosphorylation, together with 70-100% of the wild type ATPase activity. Similarly, the gamma frameshift/Asp-beta 150 mutant could grow by oxidative phosphorylation, although this mutant had low membrane ATPase activity. These results suggest that the beta subunit mutation suppressed the defects of catalytic cooperativity and/or energy coupling in the gamma mutant, consistent with the notion that conformational transmission between the two subunits is pertinent for this enzyme.
