Adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activities of sonically prepared submitochondrial particles of rat liver and Morris Hepatoma 3924A were compared as a function of changes in temperature. On Arrhenius plots, a discontinuity at 18 degrees was observed for the rat liver mitochondrial ATPase, while the hepatoma mitochondrial ATPase revealed a discontinuity at 20.4 degrees. Values for energy of activation of the rat liver and hepatoma mitochondrial ATPases were comparable below the break (34.5 and 35.5 kcal/mole, respectively) and above the break (11.6 and 9.2 kcal/mole, respectively). Solubilization of the mitochondrial membrances with Triton X-100 resulted in constant and similar values of energy of activation for the ATPases Km values of hepatoma and rat liver mitochondrial ATPases for adenosine triphosphate were similar in both the membrane-bound and solubilized states. The lack of uncoupler-stimulated ATPase activity in hepatoma mitochondria is apparently not due to membranous effects on the affinity of the ATPase for adenosine triphosphate.

Two types of plasma membrane were purified from canine distal renal medulla by the techniques of differential and zonal density-gradient centrifugation followed by free-flow electrophoresis. One group of plasma membranes was identified as basal-laterally derived based on a 30-fold enrichment of Na-K-ATPase, a 20-fold enrichment of vasopressin-stimulated adenylate cyclase, and a 33-fold enrichment of [3H]vasopressin binding sites. The second type of plasma membrane was free of these markers, but had a cholesterol and phospholipid composition similar to them. Alkaline phosphatase also had a similar distribution in the two fractions. This lighter membrane fraction contained a membrane-bound cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase as well as substrate for this kinase. In addition there was a 26-fold enrichment of specific activity of an anion (SO32-)-activated ATPase which was insensitive to mitochondrial ATPase inhibitor protein, in contrast to the mitochondrial fraction of the tissue. Based on the relative preponderance of collecting duct tissue in the distal medulla and the yield of membrane protein, these membranes are tentatively identified as containing apical membranes of the collecting duct.

The question of the possible identity of catalytic and regulatory proton pathways in the chloroplast FoF1 ATPase has been studied using different energy-transfer inhibitors. Venturicidin, a reversible inhibitor of Fo, affects neither the delta mu H(+)-dependent thiol reduction of the membrane-bound chloroplast ATPase nor its ability to be activated by the proton gradient. It seems therefore to block only the proton flow required by the catalytic function of the enzymes. Venturicidin, however, also slows down the deactivation of the thiol-reduced ATPases during uncoupled ATP hydrolysis, following a delta mu H+ activation, but phloridzin, a reversible F1 inhibitor, has the same effect. Tentoxin, an irreversible F1 inhibitor, decreases the rate of ATP hydrolysis but does not affect the rate of deactivation. These findings suggest that catalytic and regulatory H(+)-binding sites are different. No distinction can be made, if any, between protons involved in unmasking the thiol-sensitive groups of F1 and in activating the enzyme. The effect of venturicidin and phloridzin on the deactivation is consistent with an inhibitory effect of newly formed--by ATP hydrolysis--ADP molecules, which might affect the enzyme without passing through the medium. Phosphate at millimolar concentration has an effect similar to low concentrations of phloridzin and venturicidin, probably by a simple back-reaction effect.

The ATP synthase (F1Fo) of Escherichia coli consists of two structurally and functionally distinct entities. The F1 part is composed of five subunits alpha, beta, gamma, delta and epsilon (3:3:1:1:1) and carries the catalytic centres of the enzyme. The membrane-bound Fo complex functions as a proton channel and consists of the three subunits a, b and c (1:2:10 +/- 1). Subunit c (8288 M(r)) exhibits a hairpin-like structure within the membrane. A conserved acidic residue (Asp-61) in the C-terminal hydrophobic segment is absolutely required for proton translocation through Fo, whereas the hydrophilic loop region is necessary for F1 binding. Expression of the chloroplast proteolipid together with subunits a and b of E. coli did not produce an active Fo hybrid complex. Therefore, the construction of hybrid c subunits consisting of parts of the proteolipid from both organisms is in progress to determine those parts of subunit c that are essential for a functional interplay with subunits a and b. Subunit a (30,276 M(r)), which is also involved in proton translocation, is an extremely hydrophobic protein with 5-8 membrane-spanning helices. Studies with alkaline phosphatase fusion proteins resulted in controversial conclusions about the localization of the N and C termini of the protein. A foreign epitope (13 amino acids) has been inserted into the N- or C-terminal region of subunit a without affecting the function of Fo. Binding studies with a monoclonal antibody against this epitope are now under investigation to determine the orientation of subunit a.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

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.

Incubation of F1-stripped everted membrane vesicles with antibodies against subunit b of the ATP synthase from Escherichia coli resulted in an inhibition of the binding of F1 to F0, whereas the proton translocation remained unaffected. Incubation of unstripped everted membrane vesicles with anti-b antibodies resulted in a partial loss of F1, and the remaining membrane-bound ATP-hydrolyzing activity is uncoupled from proton translocation. Similar results were obtained when F(ab')2 or Fab fragments were used. The immunoblot analysis of truncated b' subunits different in length showed that the antigenic determinants are located in the carboxyl-terminal half of the polypeptide chain.

Intracellular acidic compartments serve several functions, including uptake of nutrients, processing and sorting of secreted and membrane-bound proteins, and even entry of viruses into cells. In this study, we examined the distribution of acidic compartments in normal human keratinocytes cultured in serum-free medium. Acridine orange was used to stain acidic organelles (red fluorescence), and adherent cells were evaluated by fluorescence microscopy and by interactive laser cytometry (ILC). Keratinocytes cultured in low [Ca++] (0.15 mM) exhibited morphologic characteristics associated with basal cells; red acidic vesicles in these cells were aggregated around the nucleus, sparing the peripheral cytoplasm. After 24 h of culture in high [Ca++] (1.5 mM) keratinocytes showed morphologic changes associated with differentiated cells, including increased number and dispersal of red vesicles to the periphery of the cytoplasm. Keratinocytes cultured in 0.15 mM [Ca++], but treated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 5-100 ng/ml) to induce terminal differentiation, developed similar features. Incubation in media with either high [Ca++] or PMA also induced radial extension of the microtubule network, suggesting that the distribution of acidic organelles occurs along this network. Finally, crude keratinocyte membranes were evaluated by radioactive assay for the presence of three ion-translocating ATPase activities, plasma membrane Na/K ATPase, mitochondrial ATPase, and vacuolar H+ pump ATPase, the latter being the activity responsible for acidification of intracellular compartments. Both basaloid and differentiated keratinocytes exhibited similar vacuolar H+ pump ATPase activity, as measured by its sensitivity to bafilomycin.

ATP synthesis by the membrane-bound chloroplast ATPase in the oxidized state of its gamma disulfide bridge was studied as a function of the ADP concentration, delta pH, and external pH values, under conditions where delta pH was clamped and delocalized. At a given pH, the rate of phosphorylation at saturating ADP concentration (Vmax) and the Michaelis constant Km (ADP) depend strictly on delta pH, irrespective of the way the delta pH is generated: there evidently is no specific interaction between the redox carriers and the ATPase. It was also shown that both Km (ADP) and Vmax depend on delta pH, not on the external or internal pH. This suggests that internal proton binding and external proton release are concerted, so that net proton translocation is an elementary step of the phosphorylation process. These results appear to be consistent with a modified "proton substrate" model, provided the delta G0 of the condensation reaction within the catalytic site is low. At least one additional assumption, such as a shift in the pK of bound phosphate or the existence of an additional group transferring protons from or to reactants, is nevertheless required to account for the strict delta pH dependence of the rate of ATP synthesis. A purely "conformational" model, chemically less explicit, only requires constraints on the pK's of the groups involved in proton translocation.

The requirement of bovine heart mitochondrial oligomycin sensitivity conferring protein (OSCP) in conferring dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD)-sensitivity to membrane-bound F1 was investigated by using OSCP-depleted membrane fraction (UF0) of ATP synthase. The ATPase activity of UF0-F1 was completely insensitive to DCCD while that of UF0-F1-OSCP was inhibited 95% by 16 microM DCCD. Both UF0-F1 and UF0-F1-OSCP complexes bound 5 nmol [14C]DCCD/mg UF0, and all the radioactivity was found to be associated with the DCCD-binding proteolipid. The data suggest that OSCP may be necessary for transmitting not only energy-linked signals, but also signals induced by F0 inhibitory ligands in mitochondrial energy transduction.

Inactivation of the isolated ATPase portion of ATP synthase from beef-heart mitochondria (F1) by its natural inhibitor protein (IP) during steady-state ATP hydrolysis is accompanied by a trapping of 1 mol nucleotide/mol F1 in one of the catalytic sites. The trapped nucleotide is not released during incubation of IP-inhibited F1 in the presence of MgATP at pH 8.0 for at least 20 min, indicating a very low turnover rate of the IP.F1 complex. The ATP/ADP ratio of the trapped nucleotides is higher than that found for transitorily bound nucleotides under the same conditions but in the absence of IP. The IP impairs the acceleration of ATP hydrolysis and product release steps that results from the binding of ATP to an alternate catalytic site. It also inhibits ATP hydrolysis by a single catalytic site or shifts the equilibrium toward ATP formation from bound ADP and Pi. At high pH, an active acidic form of the free IP is transformed to the inactive basic one with a half-time of 3-4 s. This process seems to be prevented by IP binding to F1. The inactive basic form of IP does not compete with the active acidic IP for the binding to F1. The data do not favor the existence of a long-lived catalytically active IP.F1 intermediate during IP action on F1. The reactivation of IP-inhibited membrane-bound F1 by energization may be due to a conformational change in the IP.F1 complex allowing the transformation of IP into an inactive basic state that rapidly dissociates.
