Submitochondrial particles (A particles) and phosphorylating electron-transport particles (ETPH) were prepared from bovine heart mitochondria. The A particles either were supplemented with or were depleted of the mitochondrial calcium-binding ATPase inhibitor protein (CaBI). The CaBI-depleted A particles still retained the Pullman-Monroy ATPase inhibitor protein (PMI), and the other particles all contained both CaBI and PMI. ATP synthase and ATPase activities of the particles were measured in similar reaction mixtures by luminescence of firefly luciferin-luciferase. Succinate was the respiratory substrate, and the adenylate kinase inhibitor P1, P5-di(adenosine-5') pentaphosphate was obligatory. The ATP synthase activity of CaBI-depleted A particles was 30-40% of that of the A and ETPH particles, and its ATPase activity was 7-8 times greater. Reconstitution of the CaBI-depleted A particles with CaBI restored the original ATP synthase and ATPase activities. ATP synthase activity rose about 1.7-fold when A particles were supplemented with additional CaBI and ATPase activity dropped to 9% of the original. Varying Ca2+ levels had little or no effect on the ATP synthase and ATPase activities of the CaBI-depleted A particles. In contrast, ATP synthase activity of the other particles was decreased by as much as 70% at the optimal Ca2+ concentration of 1 microM, and the ATPase activity of the A and EPTH particles rose concomitantly by 7-8-fold. The ATP synthase and ATPase activities of all the particles in microM Ca2+ became like those of the CaBI-depleted A particles. These changes were reversible; normal activities were restored as Ca2+ concentrations were raised above 1 microM.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The highly dissociable alpha 3 beta 3 subunit complex (Mr = 319,582) of thermophilic ATP synthase was crystallized on a mercury surface under oxygen. The two-dimensional crystal was compared with that of TF1 (Mr = 385,351, alpha 3 beta 3 gamma delta epsilon subunit complex) by means of computer image processing. The crystals showed the same hexagonal lattice (a = b = 10 nm), despite the difference in their molecular weights. The color images of the two protein molecules were also hexagonal. However, there was an open hole in the image of the alpha 3 beta 3 complex, where small subunits (gamma, delta, and epsilon) of TF1 may have been located. The structure of this heterohexamer is consistent with that deduced from other physical parameters.

The pea cotyledon mitochondrial F1-ATPase was released from the submitochondrial particles by a washing procedure using 300 mM sucrose/2 mM Tricine (pH 7.4). The enzyme was purified by DEAE-cellulose chromatography and subsequent sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis under non-denaturing conditions, the purified protein exhibited a single sharp band with slightly lower mobility than the purified pea chloroplast CF1-ATPase. The molecular weights of pea mitochondrial F1-ATPase and pea chloroplast CF1-ATPase were found to be 409 000 and 378 000, respectively. The purified pea mitochondrial F1-ATPase dissociated into six types of subunits on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. Most of these subunits had mobilities different from the subunits of the pea chloroplast CF1-ATPase. The purified mitochondrial F1-ATPase exhibited coupling factor activity. In spite of the observed differences between CF1 and F1, the mitochondrial enzyme stimulated ATP formation in CF1-depleted pea chloroplast membranes. Thus, the mitochondrial F1 was able to substitute functionally for the chloroplast CF1 in reconstituting photophosphorylation.

The sensitivity of the catalytic activities of the D. salina chloroplast coupling factor 1 (CF1) to chemical modification by N-ethylmaleimide has been investigated. When D. salina thylakoid membranes are treated with N-ethylmaleimide, both photophosphorylation and the inducible CF1 ATPase activity are partially (approx. 60%) inhibited. The inhibition of both activities does not require the presence of a proton-motive force, and the inhibition of photophosphorylation is directly related to the N-ethylmaleimide-covalent modification of CF1 as shown by the time-course for the inhibition and the maximal extent of inhibition. Treatment of the purified, latent, D. salina CF1 with low concentrations of N-ethylmaleimide also results in the partial (approx. 60%) inhibition of the inducible ATPase activity (I50 approximately 50 microM). The inhibition does not require the presence of the chemical modifier during the activation of the enzyme. N-ethylmaleimide-induced inhibition of the ATPase activity of either membrane-bound or solubilized CF1 is partially reversed by either prolonged incubation at low concentrations of N-ethylmaleimide or short incubation times at high concentrations of N-ethylmaleimide. The results are interpreted as indicating multiple binding sites on the D. salina CF1 that have different rates of reactivity with N-ethylmaleimide. Those sites (or site) that react rapidly with N-ethylmaleimide cause(s) an inhibition of both ATP synthase and ATPase activities, whereas those sites (or site) that react more slowly partially restore(s) the original ATPase activity. The effects of N-ethylmaleimide on the catalytic activity of D. salina CF1 are probably mediated by N-ethylmaleimide-induced conformational changes of the enzyme.

The ATP synthase, isolated from Wolinella (formerly Vibrio) succinogenes could be fully incorporated into liposomes without significant cleavage of the enzyme or loss of activity. These proteoliposomes, but not the isolated enzyme, catalyzed phosphate-ATP exchange and the phosphorylation of ADP which was driven by an artificially imposed delta mu H across the liposomal membrane. Phosphorylation driven by light was catalyzed by proteoliposomes containing also bacteriorhodopsin. The three activities were similarly sensitive to protonophores or dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. This sensitivity was similar to that of the electron-transport-driven phosphorylation catalyzed by bacterial membrane vesicles. With a delta mu H value 280 mV to drive phosphorylation the turnover number of the enzyme was in the same order of magnitude as that measured in the electron-transport-driven phosphorylation catalyzed by the bacterial membrane. When the delta mu H was below 150 mV, the phosphorylation activity of the incorporated enzyme was two orders of magnitude slower, and was about as fast as light-driven phosphorylation or as the exchange reaction.

The ratio between the amount of oligomycin-sensitivity-conferring protein (OSCP) and the amount of the alpha and beta subunits of F1-ATPase in the mitochondria has been determined by a method combining electrophoresis, electrotransfer and immunotitration with monoclonal antibodies. The peptides separated in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were blotted to nitrocellulose sheets by electrotransfer. The nitrocellulose sheets were incubated with 125I-labelled purified monoclonal antibodies specific to various peptides. The 125I-labelled immune complexes were located by immunodecoration using peroxidase-conjugated second antibodies and the blotted peptides were revealed with H2O2 and alpha-naphthol. The amount of immune complex present on the nitrocellulose was determined by counting the radioactivity present on the spots. The amount of peptide blotted is directly proportional to the amount of protein loaded on the electrophoresis. By comparing standard curves made with the isolated proteins to the values obtained in the presence of various amounts of the membrane-protein complex, one can calculate the content of this peptide in the membrane. It was found that the mitochondrial membrane contains 2 mol of OSCP per mol of F1.

Modifications of the catalytic beta subunits of the chloroplast ATPase (CF1-ATPase) are reported which support the proposal that all three subunits participate sequentially during catalysis. The beta subunits of the CF1-ATPase are sufficiently homogeneous to allow detection of their derivatization with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) or the substrate analog 2-azido-ATP by two-dimensional isoelectric focusing. Whether the DCCD reacts with the same beta subunit that tightly binds ATP has not been known. Our results show that when CF1-ATPase is covalently labeled with 2-azido-ATP followed by reaction with DCCD, different beta subunits are labeled. The DCCD labeling does not stop catalytic cooperativity of the CF1-ATPase and allows slow enzyme turnover. When the DCCD-modified enzyme catalyzes 2-azido-ATP cleavage and the enzyme with tightly bound nucleotide is photolyzed, both DCCD-modified and unmodified subunits are randomly labeled by the azido nucleotide. This result is as expected if during the catalytic cycle one beta subunit with unique properties is replaced by another subunit that gains these properties. The participation of all three subunits in the catalytic cycle is suggested by the apparent retention of catalytic cooperativity by the two remaining subunits after one subunit has already catalyzed 2-azido-ATP cleavage and been labeled.

The yeast nuclear gene ATP2 encodes a F1-ATPase beta-subunit protein of 509 amino acids with a predicted mass of 54,575 daltons. In contrast to the ATPase beta-subunit proteins determined previously from Escherichia coli and various plant sources, the yeast mitochondrial precursor peptide contains a unique cysteine residue within its immediate amino terminus. Expression of an in-frame deletion in ATP2 between residues 28 and 34 to eliminate this single cysteine residue located near the processing site of the matrix protease does not prevent the in vivo delivery of the subunit to mitochondria or its assembly into a functional ATPase complex. Thus, the import F1 beta-subunit into mitochondria does not require a covalent modification of the type utilized for the secretion of the major lipoprotein from E. coli. In addition, analysis of the level of the major F1-ATPase subunits in mitochondria prepared from an atp2- disruption mutant demonstrates that the in vivo import of these catalytic subunits is not dependent on each other. These data and additional studies, therefore, suggest that the determinants for mitochondrial delivery reside within the amino terminus of the individual precursors.

2-Azidoadenosine 5'-diphosphate (2-azido-ADP) labeled with 32P in the alpha-position was prepared and used to photolabel the nucleotide binding sites of beef heart mitochondrial F1-ATPase. The native F1 prepared by the procedure of Knowles and Penefsky [Knowles, A. F., & Penefsky, H. S. (1972) J. Biol. Chem. 247, 6617-6623] contained an average of 2.9 mol of tightly bound ADP plus ATP per mole of enzyme. Short-term incubation of F1 with micromolar concentrations of [alpha-32P]-2-azido-ADP in the dark in a Mg2+-supplemented medium resulted in the rapid supplementary binding of 3 mol of label/mol of F1, consistent with the presence of six nucleotide binding sites per F1. The Kd relative to the reversible binding of [alpha-32P]-2-azido-ADP to mitochondrial F1 in the dark was 5 microM in the presence of MgCl2 and 30 microM in the presence of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. A linear relationship between the percentage of inactivation of F1 and the extent of covalent photolabeling by [alpha-32P]-2-azido-ADP was observed for percentages of inactivation up to 90%, extrapolating to 2 mol of covalently bound [alpha-32P]-2-azido-ADP/mol of F1. Under these conditions, only the beta subunit was photolabeled. Covalent binding of one photolabel per beta subunit was ascertained by electrophoretic separation of labeled and unlabeled beta subunits based on charge differences and by mapping studies showing one major radioactive peptide segment per photolabeled beta subunit.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Two cDNAs encoding different precursor proteins of the same mature proteolipid subunit of mitochondrial ATP synthase have been cloned from a bovine cDNA library. The hybridisation probe was a mixture of 17-mer oligonucleotides containing 256 discrete sequences. The coding sequences of the two cDNAs differ in 25 silent positions of codons and the 3' non-coding sequences are only weakly related. The precursor sequences, which direct the import of the proteolipid into the mitochondrion, are 61 and 68 amino acids long. They are related to each other in regions which probably are recognition signals for the processing protease. The corresponding genes are expressed differently in various tissues in a way that reflects their embryonic origin.
