The mitochondrial F1-ATPase is irreversibly inactivated by the adenine nucleotide analogue, p-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl-5'-adenosine. This inactivation is partly prevented by the presence of bound adenine nucleotides. Inactivations of the ATPase with p-fluorosulfonyl[14C]benzoyl-5'-adenosine were most efficiently accomplished with the nucleotide-free enzyme at pH 7.0, in a buffer containing 20% glycerol. Under these conditions, 4.2 g atoms of 14C are incorporated per 350,000 g of enzyme when the ATPase is inactivated by 90% by its reaction with 2 mM p-fluorosulfonyl[14C]benzoyl-5'-adenosine. Isolation of the component polypeptide chains of the labeled ATPase showed that all of the radioactivity was associated with the two largest subunits. The isolated alpha subunit contained 0.45 g atom of 14C/mol and the isolated beta subunit contained 0.88 g atom of 14C/mol. Hence, the inactivation can be correlated with the incorporation of 14C into the beta subunit. This suggests that the hydrolytic site of the enzyme resides on this subunit. The majority of the radioactivity in a tryptic digest of labeled beta subunit is contained ina tryptic peptide that has the following amino acid sequence: Ile-Met-Asp-Pro-Asn-Ile-Val-Gly-Ser-Glu-His-Tyr-Asp-Val-Ala-Arg, where Tyr is the radioactive derivative of the tyrosine residue that was sulfonylated during the inactivation.

Studies of phenylglyoxal incorporation by beef-heart mitochondrial ATPase reveal one fast-reacting arginyl residue/enzyme molecule. Modification of this group proceeds at a rate which parallels the loss of enzymatic activity. Efrapeptin protects the arginyl residue from reaction with phenylglyoxal. The data suggest that efrapeptin binds at the catalytic site and blocks accessibility of an essential arginine at the adenine nucleotide binding site. The detection of a single, fast-reacting, essential arginine on an enzyme with multiple copies of the catalytic subunit, provides further evidence in support of the alternating site mechanism for ATP synthesis proposed by Kayalar et al. (Kayalar, C., Rosing, J., and Boyer, P.D. (1977) J.Biol. Chem. 252, 2486--2491).

A heat-stable protein has been purified from rat liver mitochondria which inhibits the ATP hydrolytic activity of both the soluble and membrane-bound mitochondrial F1-ATPase. The overall purification is about 2400-fold with the major purification step consisting of Sephadex "affinity" chromatography. The purified rat liver inhibitor is homogeneous as assessed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with an apparent molecular weight of 12,300. Amino acid analysis reveals a high content of glutamic acid, lysine, and arginine and the absence of cysteine, proline and methionine. Whether tested with the rat liver or bovine heart ATPase, the liver inhibitor is equally as potent and specific as the heart inhibitor preparation of Pullman and Monroy (Pullman, M.E., and Monroy, G.C. (1963) J. Biol. Chem. 238, 3762-3769). Although the results presented show that the rat liver ATPase inhibitor resembles closely the ATPase inhibitors from other tissues with respect to specific activity and reaction specificity, it is important to note that the rat liver inhibitor is almost 2000 daltons larger than the bovine heart inhibitor, about 5000 daltons larger than ATPase inhibitors of yeast, and contains significantly more lysine residues than both the bovine heart and yeast inhibitors.

Treatment of either beef heart or rat liver mitochondrial ATPase with the arginine reagent, 2,3-butanedione, resulted in enzyme inactivation. The reaction followed pseudo-first order kinetics until 90 to 95% of the enzyme had been inactivated, and prolonged incubation with butanedione resulted in complete inactivation. When the modification reaction was performed in the presence of ATP, the rate of inactivation was significantly decreased. The kinetics of inactivation indicates that the reaction of 1 molecule of reagent per active site of beef heart mitochondrial ATPase is necessary for inactivation. The loss of ATPase activity was also observed when submitochondrial particles were treated with butanedione. Studies with beef heart mitochondrial ATPase indicated that the inactivation was not due to enzyme dissociation into subunits. Kinetic studies with partially inactivated enzyme demonstrated that the Km values of ITP and of ATP in the presence of HCO3-were similar to the same constants for the control enzyme. When ATP was used as the substrate in the absence of anion activator, the partially inactivated enzyme still exhibited negative cooperativity. Inactivation was also observed when beef heart mitochondrial ATPase was treated with another arginine reagent, phenylglyoxal. The loss of ATPase activity was analyzed in terms of [14C]phenylglyoxal incorporation. From the present studies it is concluded that arginyl residues play an essential role in mitochondrial ATPase, probably at the hydrolytic site.

A collection of amino acid substitutions at residues Glu-32 and His-39 in the epsilon subunit of the Escherichia coli F1F0 ATP synthase has been constructed by cassette mutagenesis. Substitutions for residue Glu-32 appeared to cause abnormal inhibition of membrane-bound F1 ATPase activity, and replacement of His-39 by Arg, Val, and Pro affected F1F0 interactions.

We introduced mutations to test the function of the conserved amino-terminal region of the gamma subunit from the Escherichia coli ATP synthase (F0F1-ATPase). Plasmid-borne mutant genes were expressed in an uncG strain which is deficient for the gamma subunit (gamma Gln-14-->end). Most of the changes, which were between gamma Ile-19 and gamma Lys-33, gamma Asp-83 and gamma Cys-87, or at gamma Asp-165, had little effect on growth by oxidative phosphorylation, membrane ATPase activity, or H+ pumping. Notable exceptions were gamma Met-23-->Arg or Lys mutations. Strains carrying these mutations grew only very slowly by oxidative phosphorylation. Membranes prepared from the strains had substantial levels of ATPase activity, 100% compared with wild type for gamma Arg-23 and 65% for gamma Lys-23, but formed only 32 and 17%, respectively, of the electrochemical gradient of protons. In contrast, other mutant enzymes with similar ATPase activities (including gamma Met-23-->Asp or Glu) formed H+ gradients like the wild type. Membranes from the gamma Arg-23 and gamma Lys-23 mutants were not passively leaky to protons and had functional F0 sectors. These results suggested that substitution by positively charged side chains at position 23 perturbed the energy coupling. The catalytic sites of the mutant enzymes were still regulated by the electrochemical H+ gradient but were inefficiently coupled to H+ translocation in both ATP-dependent H+ pumping and delta mu H+ driven ATP synthesis.

Subunit b of Escherichia coli F1F0 ATP synthase contains a large hydrophilic region thought to be involved in the interaction between F1 and F0. Oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis was used to evaluate the functional importance of a segment of this region from Glu-77 through Gln-85. The mutagenesis procedure employed a phagemid DNA template and a doped oligonucleotide primer designed to generate a predetermined collection of missense mutations in the target segment. Sixty-one mutant phagemids were identified and shown to contain nucleotide substitutions encoding 37 novel missense mutations. Mutations were isolated singly or in combinations of up to four mutations per recombinant phagemid. F1F0 ATP synthase function was studied by mutant phagemid complementation of a novel E. coli strain in which the uncF (b) gene was deleted. Complementation was assessed by observing growth on solid succinate minimal medium. Many phagemid-encoded uncF (b) gene mutations in the targeted segment resulted in growth phenotypes indistinguishable from those of strains expressing the native b subunit, suggesting abundant F1F0 ATP synthase activity. In contrast, several specific mutations were associated with a loss of enzyme function. Phagemids specifying the Ala-79----Pro, Arg-82----Pro, Arg-83----Pro, or Gln-85----Pro mutation failed to complement uncF (b) gene-deficient E. coli. F1F0 ATP synthase displayed the greatest sensitivity to mutations altering a single site in the target segment, Ala-79. The evidence suggests that Ala-79 occupies a restricted position in the enzyme complex.

RNA editing of subunit 9 of the wheat mitochondrial ATP synthase has been studied by cDNA and protein sequence analysis. Most of the cDNA clones sequenced (95%) showed that editing by C-to-U transitions occurred at eight positions in the coding region. Consequently, 5 amino acids were changed in the protein when compared with the sequence predicted from the gene. Two edited codons gave no changes (silent editing). One of the C-to-U transitions generated a stop codon by modifying the arginine codon CGA to UGA. Thus, the protein produced is 6 amino acids shorter than that deduced from the genomic sequence. Minor forms of cDNA with partial or overedited sequences were also found. Protein sequence and amino acid composition analyses confirmed the results obtained by cDNA sequencing and showed that the major form of edited atp9 mRNA is translated.

All five subunits of yeast mitochondrial F1-ATPase have been isolated by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. This procedure allows micro-preparative purification of all the subunits with 60% recoveries. The complete amino acid sequence of the epsilon-subunit has been established. This has been achieved by the sequence analysis of subnanomole amounts of the intact molecule and that of peptides derived by enzymatic digestion with endoproteinase Arg-C and by chemical cleavage with hydroxylamine. Yeast ATP synthase epsilon-subunit is composed of 61 residues with a calculated molecular mass of 6612 Da. This polypeptide is rather basic since it contains 7 basic residues and 3 acidic residues. This study shows a slight similarity with the bovine epsilon-subunit ATP synthase since there are 16 identical residues.

The conserved, polar loop region of subunit c of the Escherichia coli F1F0 ATP synthase is postulated to function in the coupling of proton translocation through F0 to ATP synthesis in F1. We have used a random mutagenesis procedure to define the essential residues in the region. Oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis was carried out with a random mixture of mutant oligonucleotides, the oligonucleotide mixture being generated by chemical synthesis by using phosphoramidite nucleotide stocks that were contaminated with the other three nucleotides. Thirty mutant genes coding single-amino-acid substitutions in the region between Glu-37 and Leu-45 of subunit c were tested for function by analyzing the capacity of plasmids carrying the mutant genes to complement a Leu-4----amber subunit c mutant. All substitutions at the conserved Arg-41 residue resulted in loss of oxidative phosphorylation, i.e., transformants could not grow on a succinate carbon source. The other conserved residues were more tolerant to substitution, although most substitutions did result in impaired growth on succinate. We conclude that Arg-41 is essential in the function of the polar loop and that the ensemble of other conserved residues collectively maintain an optimal environment required for that function.
