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 half-life of the F1-ATPase beta-subunit (F1-beta) mRNA in ATPase-poor brown adipose tissue (BAT) (t1/2 = 9.5 h) was found to be 3-7-fold shorter than in liver (t1/2 = 27 h) and heart (t1/2 = 63 h) of mice. When translated in reticulocyte lysate, a 2-3-fold lower efficiency appeared with F1-beta mRNA from BAT than from other tissues. The in vitro synthesized F1-beta protein precursors of BAT, liver and heart origin were imported and processed by mouse liver mitochondria with equal efficiency. The results indicate that the pool of abundant F1-beta mRNA in BAT is not fully translatable, most likely due to its low metabolic stability.

Chloroplast F1-ATPase (CF1) was photolabeled by a radiolabeled photoactivatable derivative of Pi, 4-azido-2-nitrophenyl [32P]phosphate (ANPP). The radioactivity was localized in the beta subunit of CF1. Upon cleavage of the beta subunit by cyanogen bromide, the predominantly labeled peptide was recovered, which was subsequently subjected to tryptic digestion. A tryptic peptide (spanning Ile312-Arg354), was found to contain nearly all the covalently bound radioactivity. By Edman degradation, the labeled amino acid residues were identified as Tyr328, Val329 and Pro330. The labeled beta-Tyr328 of CF1 is the equivalent of beta-Tyr311 of F1 from beef heart mitochondria, which was previously found to be photolabeled by ANPP [J. Garin et al. (1989) Biochemistry 28, 1442-1448].

F1 (alpha beta) complexes containing equimolar ratios of the alpha and beta subunits have been shown to function as active ATPases, whereas individually isolated alpha and beta subunits show no real ATPase activity. These results indicate that the single-copy subunits are not required for F1-ATPase activity. The minimal F1 (alpha beta)-core complexes exhibit, however, lower rates and some different properties from those of their parent whole F1 or alpha 3 beta 3 gamma complexes. It is therefore concluded that for obtaining a full spectrum of the characteristic functional properties of an F1-ATPase the presence of the F1-gamma subunit is also required. The implications of these findings on the subunit location of both catalytic and noncatalytic nucleotide binding sites is discussed.

An updated topological model is constructed for the catalytic nucleotide-binding site of the F1-ATPase. The model is based on analogies to the known structures of the MgATP site on adenylate kinase and the guanine nucleotide sites on elongation factor Tu (Ef-Tu) and the ras p21 protein. Recent studies of these known nucleotide-binding domains have revealed several common functional features and similar alignment of nucleotide in their binding folds, and these are used as a framework for evaluating results of affinity labeling and mutagenesis studies of the beta subunit of F1. Several potentially important residues on beta are noted that have not yet been studied by mutagenesis or affinity labeling.

The catalytic site of Escherichia coli F1-ATPase is reviewed in terms of structure and function. Structural prediction, biochemical analyses, and mutagenesis experiments suggest that the catalytic site is formed primarily by residues 137-335 of beta-subunit. Subdomains of the site involved in phosphate-bond cleavage/synthesis and adenine-ring binding are discussed. Ambiguities inherent in steady-state catalytic measurements due to catalytic site cooperativity are discussed, and the advantages of pre-steady-state ("unisite") techniques are emphasized. The emergence of a single high-affinity catalytic site occurs as a result of F1-oligomer assembly. Measurements of unisite catalysis rate and equilibrium constants, and their modulation by varied pH, dimethylsulfoxide, and mutations, are described and conclusions regarding the nature of the high-affinity catalytic site and mechanism of catalysis are presented.

Dimethylsulfoxide [Me2SO, 30% (v/v)] promotes the formation of ATP from ADP and phosphate catalyzed by soluble mitochondrial F1-ATPase. The effects of this solvent on the interaction of beef-heart mitochondrial F1 with the immobilized ATP of Agarose-hexane-ATP were studied. In the presence of Me2SO, F1 bound less readily to the immobilized ATP, but once bound was more difficult to elute with exogenous ATP. This suggests that not only was the binding affinity for adenine nucleotide at the first binding site affected but that adenine nucleotide binding affinity at the second and/or third sites, which interact cooperatively with the first site to release bound nucleotide, was also affected. A reduction in the binding of [3H]ADP to these sites was shown. A change in the conformation of F1 in 30% (v/v) Me2SO was demonstrated by crosslinking and by the increased resistance of the enzyme to cold denaturation.

Escherichia coli F1-ATPase contained 3 mol of tightly-bound adenine nucleotide/mol enzyme. A further 3 mol could be loaded by incubation of the enzyme with ATP. The unloaded enzyme was designated as a F1[2,1] type on the basis of the ability of GTP to displace 1 mol of adenine nucleotide/mol of F1 [Kironde, F.A.S., & Cross, R.L. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 12544-12549]. The loaded enzyme was designated F1[3,3] since GTP could displace 3 of the 6 mol of bound adenine nucleotide/mol of F1. Incubation of F1[2,1], F1[2,0], and F1[3,0] with phosphate in the presence of 30% (v/v) dimethyl sulfoxide led to the synthesis of ATP from endogenous bound ADP. Hydrolysis of newly synthesized ATP occurred on transfer of the F1 from 30% (v/v) dimethyl sulfoxide to an entirely aqueous medium. Thus, synthesis and hydrolysis of ATP can occur at GTP-nonchaseable adenine nucleotide binding sites, and these sites in dimethyl sulfoxide are not necessarily equivalent to noncatalytic sites.

We investigated the ability of subunits beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon of CF1, the F1-ATPase of chloroplasts, to interact with exposed CF0 in EDTA-treated, partially CF1-depleted thylakoid membranes. We measured the ability of subunits beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon to stimulate the rate of photophosphorylation under continuous light and, for subunit beta, also the ability to diminish the proton leakage through exposed CF0 by deceleration of the decay of electrochromic absorption transients under flashing light. The greatest effect was caused by subunit beta, followed by gamma/delta/epsilon. Pairwise combinations of gamma, delta, and epsilon or each of these subunits alone were only marginally effective. Subunit gamma from the thermophilic bacterium PS 3 in combination with chloroplast delta and epsilon was as effective as chloroplast gamma. The finding that the small CF1 subunits in concert and the beta subunit by itself specifically interacted with the exposed proton channel CF0, qualifies the previous concept of subunit delta acting particularly as a plug to the open CF0 channel. The interactions between the channel and the catalytic portion of the enzyme seem to involve most of the small, and at least beta of the large subunits.
