Cytoplasmic male-sterile lines CMS89 and CMSBaso of sunflower (Helianthus annuus) differ from the fertile lines HA89 and Baso in a mitochondrial DNA sequence in the vicinity of the atpA gene. In addition, the transcriptional pattern of the atpA gene is changed in male-sterile lines compared to fertile ones. Besides one main transcript in the fertile lines, the male-sterile lines additionally show larger transcripts. Investigation of Baso and CMSBaso revealed that the two fertility-restored lines of CMS89 have the same transcripts as CMSBaso or a combination of CMSBaso and CMS89. Comparing the mitochondrial in organello translation products we observed a unique 16 kDa protein, which is expressed in male-sterile lines carrying the H. petiolaris cytoplasm but is not detectable in fertile lines with H. annuus cytoplasm. The 16 kDa protein can also be observed in restored lines but not in H. petiolaris. As the expression of the 16 kDa polypeptide seems to be linked to the interspecific cross between H. petiolaris and H. annuus it may play a role in CMS. By different criteria such as molecular mass, isoelectric point and peptide fingerprinting the alpha subunit of the F1-ATPase of male-sterile and fertile lines is very similar if not identical.

The nuclear gene atp1 encoding the mitochondrial ATP synthase alpha subunit of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe was sequenced. It contains a 1,608-base pair-long open reading frame interrupted by two introns of 175 and 269 base pairs, located near the 5'-end of the gene. The initiation site of transcription AAAC was located 60 nucleotides upstream of the translation initiation codon. The deduced polypeptide sequence contains a 27-amino acid residue presequence, presumably involved in mitochondrial targeting, preceding a mature protein of 509 amino acid residues. The atp1 alleles from mutant A2313 (Bouty, M., and Goffeau, A. (1982) Eur. J. Biochem. 125, 471-477) and its related phenotypic revertant R351 (Falson, P., Di Pietro, A., Darbouret, D., Jault, J. M., Gautheron, D. C., Boutry, M., and Goffeau, A. (1987) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 148, 1182-1188) were also cloned and sequenced. A single nonsense mutation CAA-TAA (Gln173-stop) in mutant A2313 became a missense mutation TAA-TTA (stop-Leucine) in revertant R351. Glutamine 173 is located in the first putative element of the nucleotide binding site. Its substitution by a leucine residue appears responsible for the lower enzyme affinity toward ADP and for the loss of cooperativity of F1-ATPase activity.

The known subunits of the membrane sector F0 of the bovine mitochondrial ATP synthase complex are subunits b, d, 6, F6, OSCP (oligomycin sensitivity-conferring protein), the DCCD (dicyclohexylcarbodiimide) binding proteolipid, and A6L. The first six subunits were purified from SMP or preparations of the ATP synthase complex, and monospecific antibodies were raised against each. The antisera were shown to be competent for immuno-blotting, and each antiserum recognized a single polypeptide of the expected Mr in preparations of the ATP synthase complex. Immunoblots utilizing antibodies to OSCP and subunits d and 6, which exhibit the same Mr on dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, showed clearly that these polypeptides are immunologically distinct. Immunological cross-reactivity was demonstrated between bovine, human, rat, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Paracoccus denitrificans, and Escherichia coli for subunit 6; between bovine, human, and rat for subunits b, d, OSCP, and F6; and between bovine and rat for the DCCD binding proteolipid. Anti-subunit 6 antiserum, before or after immunopurification against the ATP synthase complex, recognized a single polypeptide in the bovine ATP synthase complex and S. cerevisiae mitochondria, but two polypeptides of different Mr in bovine SMP, human, and rat mitochondria, and Paracoccus and E. coli membranes.

The nucleotide sequence of the import precursor of coupling factor 6 (factor 6) of human H(+)-ATP synthase has been determined from a recombinant cDNA clone isolated by screening a human kidney cDNA library with a cDNA for rat factor 6 as a probe. The sequence was composed of 466 nucleotides including a coding region for the import precursor of factor 6 and noncoding regions on the 5'- and 3'-sides. The import precursor of factor 6 and its mature polypeptide deduced from the open reading frame were found to consist of 108 and 76 amino acid residues with molecular weights of 12,596 and 8,969, respectively. The presequence of 32 amino acids could be the import signal peptide for directing the protein into the mitochondrial matrix.

Subunit 8 of mitochondrial ATP synthase (A8), a mitochondrially encoded polypeptide, has no known homologue in any prokaryotic or plastid ATP synthase, suggesting that it has been recruited to its present role in the enzyme from an extraneous source. The polypeptide is poorly conserved at the primary sequence level, but shows a well-conserved hydropathy profile. The hydropathy profiles of A8 from diverse taxa were compared with those of the hok family of prokaryotic respiratory toxins, some of whose members are involved in plasmid maintenance, through postsegregational killing of cells that lose the plasmid at cell division. Such comparisons revealed a highly significant degree of similarity, suggesting a functional relationship. Based on these findings, it is proposed that A8 evolved from a hok-like protein, whose original role was the maintenance of an extrachromosomal replicon in the endosymbiont ancestor of mitochondria. An aggressive mechanism for the evolutionary maintenance of mitochondrial DNA overcomes many of the failings of traditional explanations for its retention as a separate genome.

The nucleotide sequence of the import precursor of subunit b of human H(+)-ATP synthase has been determined from a recombinant cDNA clone isolated by screening a human kidney cDNA library with a cDNA for rat subunit b as a probe. The sequence was composed of 1,134 nucleotides including a coding region for the import precursor of subunit b and noncoding regions on the 5'- and 3'-sides. The import precursor of subunit b and its mature polypeptide deduced from the open reading frame were found to consist of 256 and 214 amino acid residues with molecular weights of 28,893 and 24,610, respectively. The presequence of 42 amino acids could be the import signal peptide for directing the protein into the mitochondrial matrix.

The Schizosaccharomyces pombe nuclear gene, atp2, encoding the beta subunit of the mitochondrial ATP synthase, was sequenced and found to contain a 1575-bp open reading frame. Two adjacent transcription-initiation sites were found at positions 34 and 44 nucleotides upstream of the translation-initiation codon. The deduced polypeptide sequence was composed of 525 amino acid residues (molecular mass = 56875 Da). The mature polypeptide starts at residue 45 (molecular mass = 51,685 Da), indicating the presence of a presequence of 44 residues, presumably involved in mitochondrial targeting. The atp2 mutant B59-1 [Boutry, M. & Goffeau, A. (1982) Eur. J. Biochem. 125, 471-477] and its related revertant allele R4-3 [Jault, J. M., Di Pietro, A., Falson, P., Gautheron, D. C., Boutry, M. & Goffeau, A. (1989) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 158, 392-399] were also cloned and sequenced. A single nonsense mutation, CAG (Gln170)----TAG (stop) in mutant B59-1, became a missense mutation, TAG (stop)----TAC (Tyr) in revertant R4-3. Gln170 is located between the first and second elements belonging to the nucleotide-binding site. Its substitution by a tyrosine residue increases the enzyme affinity towards ADP, the amount of endogenous nucleotides and the apparent negative cooperativity for ATPase activity.

Protein is the major component of the intra-lysosomal storage material which characteristically accumulates in Batten's disease. In the late-infantile, juvenile and adult forms of the disease, and in a form affecting sheep, this protein is principally composed of a single polypeptide, subunit c of mitochondrial ATP synthase. Subunit c is not stored in the infantile form of Batten's disease, supporting recent genetic data which suggest this is a distinct disease. Nor is subunit c found in storage material within other lysosomal storage diseases or in lipofuscin of old age. Subunit c storage, therefore, is specific for the later-onset forms of Batten's disease and indeed may be central to their aetiology.

All five subunits of yeast mitochondrial F1-ATPase have been isolated by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography. This procedure allows micro-preparative purification of all the subunits with 60% recoveries. The complete amino acid sequence of the epsilon-subunit has been established. This has been achieved by the sequence analysis of subnanomole amounts of the intact molecule and that of peptides derived by enzymatic digestion with endoproteinase Arg-C and by chemical cleavage with hydroxylamine. Yeast ATP synthase epsilon-subunit is composed of 61 residues with a calculated molecular mass of 6612 Da. This polypeptide is rather basic since it contains 7 basic residues and 3 acidic residues. This study shows a slight similarity with the bovine epsilon-subunit ATP synthase since there are 16 identical residues.
