The beta-subunit of the mitochondrial ATP synthase complex comprises the bulk, if not all, of the catalytic nucleotide binding site on the enzyme. A region of homologous sequence rich in glycines (G) and containing a basic lysine (K) and a threonine (T) is found in the beta-subunit as well as many other purine nucleotide binding proteins. The consensus sequence of this region is Gx4GKT, where x represents any amino acid, and is called the A region or glycine-rich loop. The related function of these proteins implies that the glycine-rich loop is directly involved in nucleotide binding. Here we directly test the involvement of the beta-subunit's glycine-rich region in adenine nucleotide binding using two independent approaches. A synthetic fifty amino acid peptide, PP-50, containing the glycine-rich region and the surrounding sequence was assessed for secondary structure and interaction with potential ligands. Circular dichroism spectropolarimetry indicates that PP-50 assumes a predominantly beta-sheet conformation in solution. Significantly, the peptide precipitates from solution when ATP, ADP, GTP, ITP, and pyrophosphate are added, but not when AMP or phosphate are included. Magnesium is not required for the interaction with the purine nucleotides. Complimentary to these studies, the sequence around the Gx4GKT motif was deleted from a recombinant rat liver beta-subunit overexpressed in E. coli. While the wild type beta-subunit showed specificity for the tri- and diphosphonucleotides, the deletion mutant bound tri-, di-, and monophosphate nucleotides with equal affinity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The effects of ifenprodil on adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity were examined using guinea pig liver mitochondria. 1) Intact mitochondrial ATPase activity was stimulated by ifenprodil in a concentration-dependent manner, this effect being further potentiated with dinitrophenol. The stimulation by ifenprodil appeared with only ATP among four nucleotides as substrate. Mg2+ and Ca2+ attenuated the effect of ifenprodil. Ifenprodil abolished the KCN-induced inhibition. 2) Heat-treated mitochondrial ATPase activity, kept for 60 min at 50 degrees C, was decreased in a concentration-dependent manner by ifenprodil. The inhibitory effect of ifenprodil was abolished by Mg2+ and Ca2+. These results indicate that ifenprodil has two behaviors, acceleration of a latent ATPase and inhibition of an activated ATPase. These findings, together with our previous data, suggest that ifenprodil seems to affect the actions of Mg2+ and Ca2+ on mitochondrial ATPase by directly affecting the membrane, and these mechanisms may be involved in its anti-cyanide effect.

F1-ATPase was treated so that it contained three tightly bound nucleotides per molecule. One of these was bound at a catalytic site and was rapidly exchangeable, the two remaining nucleotides were nonexchangeable. Incubation of this preparation with ADP in the presence of Mg2+ results in 40-45% inhibition of the ATPase activity. With 2-azido-ADP instead of ADP, the ligand was covalently bound to F1 by illumination, in the presence or absence of turnover of the enzyme, and the site of binding was determined. In this way, one site could be identified, which induces the inhibition. The attachment of the covalently bound 2-nitreno-ADP is at Tyr-368 of a beta-subunit, characterized in the literature as a non-catalytic site. A second, non-catalytic site also binds 2-azido-ADP, but this binding is partially reversed by the addition of ATP and does not cause further inhibition of the ATPase activity. It is concluded that the slowly exchangeable non-catalytic site is the site of inhibition by ADP.

beta Lys-155 in the glycine-rich sequence of the beta subunit of Escherichia coli F1-ATPase has been shown to be near the gamma-phosphate moiety of ATP by affinity labeling (Ida, K., Noumi, T., Maeda, M., Fukui, T., and Futai, M. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 5424-5429). For examination of the roles of beta Lys-155 and beta Thr-156, mutants (beta Lys-155-->Ala, Ser, or Thr; beta Thr-156-->Ala, Cys, Asp, or Ser; beta Lys-155/beta Thr-156-->beta Thr-155/beta Lys-156; and beta Thr-156/beta Val-157-->beta Ala-156/beta Thr-157) were constructed, and their properties were studied extensively. The beta Ser-156 mutant was active in ATP synthesis and had approximately 1.5-fold higher membrane ATPase activity than the wild type. Other mutants were defective in ATP synthesis, had < 0.1% of the membrane ATPase activity of the wild type, and showed no ATP-dependent formation of an electrochemical proton gradient. The mutants had essentially the same amounts of F1 in their membranes as the wild type. Purified mutant enzymes (beta Ala-155, beta Ser-155, beta Ala-156, and beta Cys-156) showed low rates of multisite (< 0.02% of the wild type) and unisite (< 1.5% of the wild type) catalyses. The k1 values of the mutant enzymes for unisite catalysis were lower than that of the wild type: not detectable with the beta Ala-156 and beta Cys-156 enzymes and 10(2)-fold lower with the beta Ala-155 and beta Ser-155 enzymes. The beta Thr-156-->Ala or Cys enzyme showed an altered response to Mg2+, suggesting that beta Thr-156 may be closely related to Mg2+ binding. These results suggest that beta Lys-155 and beta Thr-156 are essential for catalysis and are possibly located in the catalytic site, although beta Thr-156 could be replaced by a serine residue.

Seventeen mutations in beta-subunit of Escherichia coli F1-ATPase which had previously been characterized in strain AN1272 (Mu-induced mutant) were expressed in strain JP17 (beta-subunit gene deletion). Six showed unchanged behavior, namely: C137Y; G142D; G146S; G207D; Y297F; and Y354F. Five failed to assemble F1F0 correctly, namely: G149I; G154I; G149I,G154I; G223D; and P403S,G415D. Six assembled F1F0 correctly, but with membrane ATPase lower than in AN1272, namely: K155Q; K155E; E181Q; E192Q; D242N; and D242V. AN1272 was shown to unexpectedly produce a small amount of wild-type beta-subunit; F1-ATPase activities reported previously in AN1272 were referable to hybrid enzymes containing both mutant and wild-type beta-subunits. Purified F1 was obtained from K155Q; K155E; E181Q; E192Q; and D242N mutants in JP17. Vmax ATPase values were lower, and unisite catalysis rate and equilibrium constants were perturbed to greater extent, than in AN1272. However, general patterns of perturbation revealed by difference energy diagrams were similar to those seen previously, and the new data correlated well in linear free energy relationships for reaction steps of unisite catalysis. Correlation between multisite and unisite ATPase activity was seen in the new enzymes. Overall, the data give strong support to previously proposed mechanisms of unisite catalysis, steady-state catalysis, and energy coupling in F1-ATPases (Al-Shawi, M. K., Parsonage, D. and Senior, A. E. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 4402-4410). The K155Q, K155E, D242N, and E181Q mutations caused 5000-fold, 4000-fold, 1800-fold, and 700-fold decrease, respectively, in Vmax ATPase, implying possibly direct roles for these residues in catalysis. Experiments with the D242N mutant suggested a role for residue beta D242 in catalytic site Mg2+ binding.

The presence of ATP at non-catalytic sites of the chloroplast F1-ATPase (CF1) eliminates a considerable lag in onset of enzyme activity that otherwise occurs in the presence of bicarbonate [Milgrom, Y. M., Ehler, L. & Boyer, P. D. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 11551-11558]. Sulfite is known to be much more effective than bicarbonate in stimulating ATPase activity CF1. Results reported here show that when assayed in the presence of sulfite, CF1, with some non-catalytic sites empty or filled with GT(D)P, is able to hydrolyze both ATP and GTP. Thus, the presence of adenine nucleotides at non-catalytic sites is not necessary for catalytic turnover of CF1. However, even though CF1 with empty non-catalytic sites shows a significant initial activity, the prior binding of adenine nucleotides at non-catalytic site(s) results in further activation of MgATPase and MgGTPase activities, even at relatively high sulfite and substrate concentrations. Although extensive activation of CF1 results from the presence of sulfite, with or without nucleotide binding at non-catalytic sites, the Km remains constant, at about 50 microM for MgATP and 400 microM for MgGTP. The results obtained show that the ATPase activity of CF1 is determined by the fraction of the active enzyme. The inactive CF1.ADP.Mg2+ formed during MgATP hydrolysis can be rapidly trapped by azide to provide a measure of the fraction of inactive enzyme. Increasing the concentration of sulfite increases the fraction of active CF1 in the assay medium. Measurements with radioactively labeled nucleotides show that the presence of ATP at non-catalytic sites promotes the ATP-dependent release of inhibitory ADP from a catalytic site. The activating effect of ATP binding at non-catalytic sites results from increasing the portion of CF1 in an active state during steady-state ATP hydrolysis.

The structure of the Escherichia coli ATP synthase has been studied by electron microscopy and a model developed in which the alpha and beta subunits of the F1 part are arranged hexagonally (in top view) alternating with one another and surrounding a central cavity of around 35 A at its widest point. The alpha and beta subunits are interdigitated in side view for around 60 A of the 90 A length of the molecule. The F1 narrows and has three-fold symmetry at the end furthest from the F0 part. The F1 is linked to F0 by a stalk approximately 45 A long and 25-30 A in diameter. The F0 part is mostly buried in the lipid bilayer. The gamma subunit provides a domain that extends into the central cavity of the F1 part. The gamma and epsilon subunits are in a different conformation when ATP + Mg2+ are present in catalytic sites than when ATP + EDTA are present. This is consistent with these two small subunits switching conformations as a function of whether or not phosphate is bound to the enzyme at the position of the gamma phosphate of ATP. We suggest that this switching is the key to the coupling of catalytic site events with proton translocation in the F0 part of the complex.

The kinetic properties of type-II ATP diphosphohydrolase are described in this work. The enzyme preparation from the inner layer of the bovine aorta, mostly composed of smooth muscle cells, shows an optimum at pH 7.5. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of tri- and diphosphonucleosides and it requires either Ca2+ or Mg2+ for activity. It is insensitive to ouabain (3 mM), an inhibitor of Na+/K(+)-ATPase, to tetramisole (5 mM), an inhibitor of alkaline phosphatase, and to Ap5A (100 microM), an inhibitor of adenylate kinase. In contrast, sodium azide (10 mM), a known inhibitor for ATPDases and mitochondrial ATPase, is an effective inhibitor. Mercuric chloride (10 microM) and 5'-p-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl adenosine are also powerful inhibitors, both with ATP and ADP as substrates. The inhibition patterns are similar for ATP and DP, thereby, supporting the concept of a common catalytic site for these substrates. Apparent Km and Vmax, obtained with ATP as the substrate, were evaluated at 23 +/- 3 microM and 1.09 mumol Pi/min per mg protein, respectively. The kinetic properties of this enzyme and its localization as an ectoenzyme on bovine aorta smooth muscle cells suggest that it may play a major role in regulating the relative concentrations of extracellular nucleotides in blood vessels.

The interaction of 2',3'-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)-adenosine 5'-triphosphate (TNP-ATP) and TNP-ADP to F1-ATPase from a thermophilic bacterium PS3 (TF1) was investigated. When TNP-ADP or TNP-ATP was added to the isolated alpha or beta subunit of TF1, characteristic difference spectra were generated for each subunit. Difference spectra generated on addition of these analogs to TF1 resembled those observed for the beta subunit, indicating TNP analogs bind to the beta subunits in the molecule of TF1. Results of equilibrium dialysis showed that TNP-ADP binds to a single high affinity site on TF1 in the presence of Mg2+ with a dissociation constant of 2.2 nM. When TNP-ATP was added to TF1 in a substoichiometric molar ratio, it rapidly bound to TF1 and was slowly hydrolyzed. The hydrolysis proceeded nearly to completion without showing stable equilibrium between bound species of TNP-ATP and TNP-ADP. Similar to beef heart mitochondrial F1, this hydrolysis was greatly accelerated by the chase-addition of 100 microM ATP. However, the hydrolyzed product, TNP-ADP, remained bound on the beta subunit even after the chase.

The F1-ATPase from Micrococcus lysodeikticus is isolated in the absence of exogenous nucleotides. After removing loosely bound nucleotides from the isolated enzyme by gel permeation chromatography, analysis for tightly bound nucleotides revealed in 14 experiments 0.4 +/- 0.1 mol ADP, 0.5 +/- 0.2 mol GDP, and 0.8 +/- 0.2 mol ATP per mol of F1. Incubation of the isolated enzyme with Mg2+ or Ca2+ did not alter the endogenous nucleotide composition of the enzyme, indicating that endogenous ATP is not bound to a catalytic site. Incubation of the enzyme with P(i) decreased the amount of tightly bound ADP and GDP but did not effect the ATP content. Hydrolysis of MgATP in the presence of sulfite raised the tightly bound ADP and lowered tightly bound GDP on the enzyme. In the reciprocal experiment, hydrolysis of MgGTP in the presence of sulfite raised tightly bound GDP and lowered tightly bound ADP. Turnover did not affect the content of tightly bound ATP on the enzyme. These results suggest that endogenous ADP and GDP are bound to exchangeable catalytic sites, whereas endogenous ATP is bound to noncatalytic sites which do not exchange. The presence of endogenous GDP on catalytic sites of isolated F1 suggests that the F0F1-ATP synthase of M. lysodeikticus might synthesize both GTP and ATP under physiological conditions. In support of this hypothesis, we have found that plasma membrane vesicles derived from M. lysodeikticus synthesize [32P]GTP from [32P]P(i) using malate as electron donor for oxidative phosphorylation.
