We have isolated an outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) fraction from baker's yeast. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, that possesses porin activity and contains a major polypeptide of 29,000 daltons. By analogy to similar data for an OMM fraction from rat liver and mung bean [Zalman, L. S., Nikaido, N. & Kagawa, Y. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 1771-1774], the 29,000-dalton polypeptide of the isolated yeast OMM fraction has been tentatively identified as porin. Evidence to substantiate this identification was provided by the finding that both the porin activity and the 29,000-dalton polypeptide were entirely resistant when the OMM fraction was exposed to trypsin digestion, with the 29,000-dalton polypeptide being virtually the only polypeptide in the OMM fraction to be unaffected by trypsin digestion. There was no protection when trypsin digestion was carried out in the presence of detergent. Using monospecific antibodies, we have shown that yeast porin is apparently not synthesized as a larger precursor in a cell-free translation system. In vitro-synthesized porin could not be integrated into dog pancreas microsomal vesicles or into an isolated OMM fraction from yeast, either co- or posttranslationally. In vitro-synthesized porin, however, could be integrated posttranslationally into whole isolated mitochondria. This membrane specificity suggests that integration does not proceed by unassisted partitioning. The integration of porin into whole mitochondria occurred with fidelity by the criterion of its resistance to trypsin. Moreover, integration was not inhibited in the presence of the protonophore carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl-hydrazone whereas translocation into the mitochondrial matrix of the in vitro-synthesized gamma subunit of F1-ATPase was inhibited.

Purified ATP synthase (F1F0) from Escherichia coli K12 was labeled with the hydrophobic photoreactive label 1-palmitoyl 2-(2-azido-4-nitro)benzoyl sn-glycero-3-[3H]phosphocholine in reconstituted proteoliposomes. The F0-subunit b was predominantly labeled. A very low amount of label was detected on the other F0-subunits a and c. The label in subunit b could be traced back by proteolytic digestion to the NH2-terminal fragment 1 to 53 which contains the stretch of hydrophobic amino acid residues 1 to 32. By sequencing the intact protein, the distribution of label among the amino acids in this segment was determined. Cysteine 21 was predominantly labeled. Other labeled amino acids occurred at the NH2-terminal (Asn-2) and at position 26 (tryptophan). Due to the restricted mobility of the label in the lipid bilayer, these residues are suggested to be located in or close to the polar head of the lipid bilayer. These results will be compared with predictions for the arrangement of the polypeptide b derived from the hydrophobicity profile.

The amino acid sequence of the beta-subunit of bovine heart mitochondrial ATP synthase has been determined by protein sequence analysis. The polypeptide chain of 478 amino acids is blocked at its NH2 terminal. Comparison of this sequence with sequences of the corresponding proteins from Escherichia coli (Saraste, M., Gay, N.J., Eberle, A., Runswick, M.J., and Walker, J.E. (1981) Nucleic Acids Res. 9, 5287-5296) and maize and spinach chloroplasts Krebbers, E.T., Larrinua, I. M., McIntosh, L., and Bogorad, L. (1982) Nucleic Acids Res. 10, 4985-5002; Kurawski, G., Bottomley, W., and Whitfield, P.R. (1982) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 79, 6260-6264) shows that the protein is highly conserved. 70% of residues are identical in E. coli and beef mitochondria. This contrasts with some of the other subunits in the enzyme complex which are much less conserved.

The photoaffinity analog 2-azido-ADP (2-azidoadenosine 5'-diphosphate) was used as a probe of the spinach chloroplast ATP synthase. The analog acted as a substrate for photophosphorylation. Several observations suggested that 2-azido-ADP and ADP bound to the same class of tight nucleotide binding sites: (a) 2-azido-ADP competitively inhibited ADP tight binding (Ki = 1.4 microM); (b) the concentration giving 50% maximum binding, K0.5 for analog tight binding (1 microM) was similar to that observed for ADP (2 microM); (c) nucleotide tight binding required prior membrane energization and was completely reversed by re-energization; (d) the tight binding of 2-azido-[beta-32P]ADP was completely prevented by ADP; (e) the analog inhibited the light-triggered ATPase activity at micromolar concentrations. Ultraviolet irradiation of washed thylakoid membranes containing tightly bound 2-azido-[beta-32P]ADP resulted in the covalent incorporation of the label into the membranes. Denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the labeled membranes demonstrated that the beta subunit of the coupling factor one complex was the only polypeptide in the thylakoid membranes which was labeled. These results identify the beta subunit of the coupling factor as the location of the tightly bound ADP on the thylakoid membranes.

The subunit arrangement of the F0 sector of the Escherichia coli ATP synthase is examined using hydrophilic and hydrophobic (cleavable) cross-linking reagents and the water-soluble labeling reagent [35S] diazoniumbenzenesulfonate ( [35S]DABS). Cross-linking is performed on purified ATP synthase and inverted minicell membranes. ATP synthase incorporated into liposomes is labeled with [35S]DABS. Three cross-linked products involving the F0 subunits (a, b, and c) are observed with the purified ATP synthase in solution: a-b, b2, and c2 dimers. A cross-link between the F0 and F1 is detected and occurs between the a and beta subunits. A cross-linker independent association between the b and beta subunits is also evident, suggesting that the two subunits are close enough to form a disulfide bridge. A cross-linking reagent stable to reducing agents produces a b-beta dimer, as detected by immunoblotting with anti-beta serum. The c subunit does not cross-link with any F1 polypeptide. Minicell membranes containing ATP synthase polypeptides radioactively labeled in vivo similarly show b2 and c2 dimers after cross-linking. [35S]DABS labels the a and b, but not c, subunits, showing that the a and b, but not c, subunits possess hydrophilic domains. Thus, certain domains of subunits a and b extend from the membrane and are in close proximity to one another and the F1 catalytic subunit beta.

The nucleotide sequence has been determined of a 900 bp segment of chromosomal DNA located between 2.6 and 3.5 kb left of the origin of replication, oriC. This segment, which overlaps with the known sequence of the atp operon coding for the eight subunits of the Escherichia coli K12 ATP synthase, contains two coding sequences with the same polarity (counterclockwise) as the atp genes: One of these, designated atpI, which codes for the N-terminal part of a 14 kD polypeptide, is located in front (upstream) of the atpB gene (the first structural gene in the atp operon), the other one codes for the C-terminal part of the gidB gene. The 606 bp segment located between the gidB and the atpI genes contains no coding sequences. By employing the nuclease S1 mapping technique, we have determined a promoter, designated atpIp, for the atp operon located in front of the atpI gene; two additional, weak transcription starts were located within the atpI gene. No transcription start sites were detected up to 1,000 bp upstream of the atpIp promoter, neither were any transcription start sites detected within the cluster of the eight structural atp genes. The atp operon transcription terminates at a site approximately 50 bp downstream from the atpC gene.

The purification and the amino acid sequence of a proteolipid translated on ribosomes in yeast mitochondria is reported. This protein, which is a subunit of the ATP synthase, was purified by extraction with chloroform/methanol (2/1) and subsequent chromatography on phosphocellulose and reverse phase h.p.l.c. A mol. wt. of 5500 was estimated by chromatography on Bio-Gel P-30 in 80% formic acid. The complete amino acid sequence of this protein was determined by automated solid phase Edman degradation of the whole protein and of fragments obtained after cleavage with cyanogen bromide. The sequence analysis indicates a length of 48 amino acid residues. The calculated mol. wt. of 5870 corresponds to the value found by gel chromatography. This polypeptide contains three basic residues and no negatively charged side chain. The three basic residues are clustered at the C terminus. The primary structure of this protein is in full agreement with the predicted amino acid sequence of the putative polypeptide encoded by the mitochondrial aap1 gene recently discovered in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Moreover, this protein shows 50% homology with the amino acid sequence of a putative polypeptide encoded by an unidentified reading frame also discovered near the mitochondrial ATPase subunit 6 gene in Aspergillus nidulans.

Immunoprecipitation of uniformly labeled yeast submitochondrial preparations using a subunit-specific or a holoenzyme antiserum has been employed to determine the subunit stoichiometry of the oligomycin-sensitive ATPase complex. The Triton-solubilized enzyme consists of 10 types of subunits. The number of copies of each subunit, in order of decreasing molecular weight, is 3:3:1:2:1:2:2:1:2:3. on the basis of the stoichiometry data, the ATPase complex has a molecular weight of 5.8 x 10(5) and contains a minimum of 20 polypeptide chains. Analysis of water-soluble ATPase (F1-ATPase) indicates that the stoichiometry of the three largest subunits of the enzyme is preserved in the absence of the other subunits. The molecular weights of both forms of the ATPase, derived from stoichiometry data, agree well with measurements obtained from gel filtration and sedimentation studies. The implications of these data for the structure, function, and assembly of the complex are discussed.

Experiments were undertaken to examine the fate and composition of polypeptides synthesized on cytoplasmic polysomes associated with the outer mitochondrial membrane of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Mitochondria with their associated cytoplasmic polysomes were isolated from growing yeast spheroplasts and placed in a polypeptide chain completion system together with [35S]methionine. Of the total products synthesized in the readout system, 80 to 85% remain associated with the mitochondria after sucrose gradient centrifugation. Most of the labeled products are resistant to papain digestion unless the membranes are disrupted by treatment with detergent or shaking with glass beads. When free cytoplasmic polysomes were translated in the presence of [35S]methionine and incubated with mitochondria, only about 20% of the labeled polypeptides remain associated with the mitochondria; furthermore, most of these products are equally sensitive to papain digestion in the presence or absence of detergent. These results support the view that the cytoplasmic polysomes associated with the outer mitochondrial membrane of yeast facilitate the segregation of newly synthesized proteins into the organelle. The proportion of the alpha, beta, and gamma subunits of the F1-ATPase was determined among the products synthesized by mitochondria-bound and free cytoplasmic polysomes. By double antibody precipitation and immunoreplicate electrophoresis, we find that the proportion of the subunits of F1-ATPase is much greater among the products of the mitochondria-bound polysomes than those synthesized on free polysomes.

The hydrophobic sector of the mitochondrial ATPase complex was purified by sequential extraction with cholate and octylglucoside, by further differential solubilization with guanidine and cholate in the presence of phosphatidylcholine, and by fractionation with ammonium sulfate. A polypeptide with a mass of 28,000 dalton was present in the purified hydrophobic section which was cleaved by trypsin, resulting in loss of reconstitution activity. In contrast, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-binding proteolipid remained unimpaired after exposure to trypsin. The 32Pi-ATP exchange activity of the reconstituted ATPase complex was inhibited by p-hydroxymercuribenzoate, which reacted primarily with the 28,000-dalton protein, as monitored by acrylamide gel electrophoresis with 14C-labeled inhibitor. The function of a 22,000-dalton polypeptide and of some minor components in the region of the proteolipid remains unknown. An examination of the phospholipid requirements for reconstitution of an active complex revealed an unexpected discrepancy. With an excess of phosphatidylethanolamine, optimal reconstitution of 32Pi-ATP exchange and ATP synthesis in the presence of bacteriorhodopsin and light was achieved: at a high phosphatidylcholine:phosphatidylethanolamine ratio, the rate of ATP synthesis remained high, but the rate of 32Pi-ATP exchange dropped precipitously. A new procedure is described for the reconstitution of the ATPase complex with purified phospholipids which is stable for at least 15 days.
