1. A formula is given that describes the appearance of [14C]ATPADP outside the mitochondria after the addition of [14C] 1atp during the steady-state uncoupler-induced hydrolysis of extramitochondrial ATP. If the transported adenine nucleotides equilibrate with the intramitochondrial pool, [14C]ADP0 would be expected to appear with a lag phase that corresponds with the time needed for the radioactive labelling of the intramitochondrial adenine nucleotide pool. 2. The rates of formation of [14C]ADP outside the mitochondria after addition of [14C]ATP during the steady-state uncoupler-induced ATP hydrolysis catalysed by rat-liver mitochondria at 0 degree C were measured. 3. In the presence of carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone the time course of the [14]ADPo formation was the same as that predicted on the basis of the above assumption. 4. In the presence of the less effective uncoupler, 2,4-dinitrophenol, the time course of [14C]ADPo formation was not consistent with the theoretical predictions: no lag phase was present and the measured rate was higher than the maximal calculated rate. These results can be explained by assuming a functional interaction between the adenine nucleotide translocator and the mitochondrial ATPase (F1). 5. It is concluded that under phosphorylating as well as dephosphorylating conditions, the adenine nucleotide translocator and the mitochondrial ATPase can be functionally linked to catalyse phosphorylation or dephosphorylation of extramitochondrial ADP or ATP, without participation of the intramitochondrial adenine nucleotides.

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)

Mitochondrial H+ -ATPase complex, purified by the lysolecithin extraction procedure, has been resolved into a "membrane" (NaBr-F0) and a "soluble" fraction by treatment with 3.5 M sodium bromide. The NaBr-F0 fraction is completely devoid of beta, delta, and epsilon subunits of the F, ATPase and largely devoid of alpha and gamma subunits of F1, where F0 is used to denote the membrane fraction and F1, coupling factor 1. This is confirmed by complete loss of ATPase and Pi-ATP exchange activities. The addition of F1 (400 micrograms X mg-1 F0) results in complete restoration of oligomycin sensitivity without any reduction in the F1-ATPase activity. Presumably, this is due to release of ATPase inhibitor protein from the F1-F0 complex consequent to sodium bromide extraction. Restoration of Pi-ATP exchange and H+ -pumping activities require coupling factor B in addition to F1-ATPase. The oligomycin-sensitive ATPase and 32Pi-ATP exchange activities in reconstituted F1-F0 have the same sensitivity to uncouplers and energy transfer inhibitors as in starting submitochondrial particles from the heavy layer of mitochondria and F1-F0 complex. The data suggest that the altered properties of NaBr-F0 observed in other laboratories are probably inherent to their F1-F0 preparations rather than to sodium bromide treatment itself. The H+ -ATPase (F1-F0) complex of all known prokaryotic (3, 8, 9, 10, 21, 32, 34) and eukaryotic (11, 26, 30, 33, 35-37) phosphorylating membranes contain two functionally and structurally distinct entities. The hydrophilic component F1, composed of five unlike subunits, shows ATPase activity that is cold labile as well as uncoupler- and oligomycin-insensitive. The membrane-bound hydrophobic component F0, having no energy-linked catalytic activity of its own, is indirectly assayed by its ability to regain oligomycin sensitive ATPase and Pi-ATP exchange activities on binding to F1-ATPase (33). The purest preparations of bovine heart mitochondrial F0 show seven or eight major components in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate or SDS-PAGE (1, 2, 12, 14), ranging from 6 to 54 ku in molecular weight (12). The precise structure and polypeptide composition of mitochondrial F0 is not known. The F0 preparations from bovine heart reported so far have been derived from H+ -ATPase preparations isolated in the presence of cholate and deoxycholate (11, 33, 36, 37).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

(1) The kinetics of the release of the mitochondrial inhibitor protein (IF1) is studied in bovine heart submitochondrial vesicles supplemented with 125I-labelled IF1, using a method for rapidly 'freezing' the state of F1-IF1 interaction. It is shown that generation of a protonmotive force leads to release of IF1 from F1 into solution, following an exponential process. (2) In one set of experiments the rate of IF1 release, in IF1 supplemented vesicles generating a protonmotive force, is correlated with the induction of ATP hydrolytic capacity. It is found that, even under different metabolic states (phosphorylating and non-phosphorylating conditions), both processes follow the same time-course (half-time of around 40 s) and that there is a direct correlation between induced ATPase capacity and IF1 released. This finding rules out the possibility of a non-inhibitory binding site for IF1 on the membrane. (3) In a second set of experiments, also using IF1 supplemented vesicles, the induction of the ATP hydrolytic capacity after energisation is correlated with the induction of the ATP synthetic capacity. Initial rates of both processes are monitored using firefly luciferase, keeping the assay systems as similar as possible. It is shown that the induction of each capacity follows an exponential time-course, with a half-time of around 40 s. This is in good agreement with the half-times obtained for the induction of ATP hydrolytic capacity and the rate of IF1 release, using the quench-stop method. (4) If the induction of ATP hydrolytic and synthetic capacities is followed in untreated submitochondrial vesicles, i.e., vesicles not supplemented with IF1, the extent and time-course of the change in both hydrolytic and synthetic capacities remain correlated, but the half-time of the transient falls to around 10 s. It is suggested that the length of the transient, observed in IF1 supplemented vesicles, results from partial loss of coupling during repeated centrifugations. (5) These results demonstrate that energy-dependent release of IF1 from F1 into solution results in a concomitant increase in both ATP synthetic and hydrolytic capacities of the ATP synthase complex, and that the time-course of this process is sensitive to the degree of coupling of the vesicles.

Embryonic development of mouse and rat brown adipose tissue was characterized by electron microscopy and by quantifying the mitochondrial oxidative, phosphorylating and thermogenic capacities immunochemically, using antibodies against cytochrome oxidase, F1-ATPase and uncoupling protein, respectively. Mitochondria and cytochrome oxidase were detected from the 15-16th day of pregnancy and their amounts continuously increased toward birth. F1-ATPase was also found on the 15th day but it reached a maximum level already on the 19th day when the uncoupling protein appeared and rapidly increased during further maturation of brown adipose tissue. It thus appears that mitochondria in early prenatal brown adipose tissue lack completely uncoupling protein and are nonthermogenic. They transform into typical thermogenic mitochondria abruptly only 2 days before birth.

Previous studies from this laboratory have shown that mitochondrial bound hexokinase is markedly elevated in highly glycolytic hepatoma cells (Parry, D. M., and Pedersen, P.L. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 10904-10912). A pore-forming protein, porin, within the outer membrane appears to comprise at least part of the receptor site (Nakashima, R.A., Mangan, P.S., Colombini, M., and Pedersen, P.L. (1986). Biochemistry 25, 1015-1021). In studies reported here experiments were carried out to assess the functional significance of mitochondrial bound tumor hexokinase. Two approaches were used to determine whether the bound enzyme has preferred access to mitochondrially generated ATP relative to cytosolic ATP. The first approach compared the time course of glucose 6-phosphate formation by AS-30D hepatoma mitochondria under conditions where ATP was regenerated endogenously via oxidative phosphorylation or exogenously by added pyruvate kinase and phosphoenolpyruvate. The second approach involved the measurement of the specific radioactivity of glucose 6-phosphate formed following the addition of [gamma-32P]ATP to either phosphorylating or nonphosphorylating AS-30D mitochondria. Both approaches provided results which show that the source of ATP for bound hexokinase is derived preferentially from the ATP synthase residing within the inner mitochondrial membrane compartment rather than from the medium (i.e. from the cytosolic compartment). These results provide the first direct demonstration that the exceptionally high level of hexokinase bound to mitochondria of highly glycolytic tumor cells has preferred access to mitochondrially generated ATP, a finding that may have rather profound metabolic significance for such tumors.

The rate of photosynthetic electron transport measured in the absence of ADP and Pi is stimulated by low levels of Hg2+ or Ag+ (50% stimulation approximately or equal to 3 Hg2+ or 6 Ag+/100 chlorophyll) to a plateau equal to the transport rate under normal phosphorylating conditions (i.e. +ADP, +Pi). Chloroplasts pretreated in the light under energizing conditions with N-ethylmaleimide show a similar stimulation of non-phosphorylating electron transport. The stimulations of non-phosphorylating electron transport by Hg2+, Ag+ and N-ethylmaleimide are reversed by the CF1 inhibitor phlorizin, the CF0 inhibitor triphenyltin chloride, and can be further stimulated by uncouplers such as methylamine. The Hg2+ and N-ethylmalemide stimulations, but not the Ag+ stimulation, are completely reversed by low levels of ADP (2 microM), ATP (2 microM), AND Pi (400 microM). Ag+, which is a potent inhibitor of ATP synthesis, has little or no effect upon phosphorylating electron transport (+ADP, +Pi). Concomitant with the stimulations of non-phosphorylating electron transport by Hg2+, Ag+ and ADP + Pi, there is a decrease in the level of membrane energization (as measured by atebrin fluorescence quenching) which is reversed when the CF0 channel is blocked by triphenyltin. These results suggest that modification of critical CF1 sulfhydryl residues by Hg2+, Ag+ or N-ethylmalemide leads to the loss of intra-enzyme coupling between the transmembrane proton-transferring and the ATP synthesis activities of the CF0-CF1 ATP synthase complex.

Liver mitochondria provided with an oxidizable substrate, ATP, oxygen, and an ADP-generating system (soluble F1-ATPase) were used to reevaluate the rate-controlling step(s) intrinsic to all of the processes of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. The quantity termed "control strength" (C), previously defined as the fractional change in flux through a (system) induced by a fractional change in the concentration of an individual enzyme in the system, has been used to evaluate rate-influencing steps in this overall process by carefully defining the dimensions of the "system" under analysis. If the system is defined by a suspension of mitochondria provided with substrates, plus an extrinsic ADP-generating process (ATPase), the value of C of the latter for the overall process of phosphorylation-linked respiration is near 1.0 until the capacity of the mitochondria to phosphorylate ADP is approached, after which C for the soluble ATPase becomes zero as the maximum capacity for phosphorylation is attained. Carboxyatractyloside was found only marginally to inhibit respiration stimulated by ATPase, even when a large percentage of adenine nucleotide translocase molecules were immobilized. The relative lack of effect of carboxyatractyloside on phosphorylating respiration is explained by the readjustment of the concentration of one of the substrates (ADP) and an inhibitor (ATP), which results from inhibition of adenine nucleotide translocase. The residual blunted inhibition of respiration is explained by product inhibition of the ADP-regenerating ATPase, and not necessarily to any intrinsically mitochondrial intermediate process. The system being evaluated can be redefined to include only the processes intrinsic to mitochondria. This can be achieved by providing exactly comparable substrate concentrations to the mitochondria under comparable incubation conditions. Under these conditions, the adenine nucleotide translocase is the principal, if not the only, rate-controlling step in the overall process of oxidative phosphorylation until a new rate-limitation is attained (ATP synthesis). These data are consistent with the conclusion that, at intermediate rates of phosphorylation-coupled respiration, the extramitochondrial ATP/ADP ratio regulates this process through its kinetic effects on the catalytic properties of the adenine nucleotide translocase.

1. The distribution of control of the rate of state 3 respiration of AS-30D hepatoma mitochondria was determined. 2. The ATP/ADP carrier (flux control coefficient, Ci = 0.70) and the ATP synthase (Ci = 0.19-0.32) were the only steps that exerted significant control on the phosphorylating flux supported by either glutamate+malate, pyruvate+malate, or succinate+rotenone. This is in contrast to liver mitochondria where the control is distributed between several steps. 3. It is suggested that this pattern of control of phosphorylation in hepatoma mitochondria is a consequence of a lower content of adenine nucleotides or a higher content of Mg2+.

Mitochondria were isolated from biopsies of the biceps femoris muscle of Danish landrace pigs. Three groups of animals were compared: (1) normal pigs; (2) pigs that were homozygous with respect to the gene Hal(n)/Hal(n) coding for the porcine malignant hyperthermia syndrome; and (3) heterozygote animals. A newly developed micro-method for preparation and assaying of small quantities of intact mitochondria was employed. With this technique mitochondria from biopsies weighing less than 100 mg were examined with respect to cytochrome content as well as phosphorylating and respiratory activities, including the nonphosphorylating exo-NADH oxidase activity. The mitochondria, prepared in a yield of 48%, showed high respiratory activities with tricarboxylic acid-cycle intermediates and pyruvate, and somewhat lower activity with palmitoyl-carnitine as substrate. The ATP synthase activity was about 1000 micromol ATP/min per g of protein and the maximal respiratory activity approx. 700 micromol of O2/min per g of protein. No differences among the three groups of animals were detected, except for the exo-NADH oxidase activities, which were 43, 78 and 107 micromol of O2/min per g of protein in the groups of normal, heterozygous and homozygous animals respectively. It is concluded that the exo-NADH oxidase activity may be a genetic manifestation of malignant hyperthermia and may play a significant role in the heat production characteristic of the syndrome.
