The binding and conformational properties of the divalent cation site required for H+,K(+)-ATPase catalysis have been explored by using Ca2+ as a substitute for Mg2+. 45Ca2+ binding was measured with either a filtration assay or by passage over Dowex cation exchange columns on ice. In the absence of ATP, Ca2+ was bound in a saturating fashion with a stoichiometry of 0.9 mol of Ca2+ per active site and an apparent Kd for free Ca2+ of 332 +/- 39 microM. At ATP concentrations sufficient for maximal phosphorylation (10 microM), 1.2 mol of Ca2+ was bound per active site with an apparent Kd for free Ca2+ of 110 +/- 22 microM. At ATP concentrations greater than or equal to 100 microM, 2.2 mol of Ca2+ were bound per active site, suggesting that an additional mole of Ca2+ bound in association with low affinity nucleotide binding. At concentrations sufficient for maximal phosphorylation by ATP (less than or equal to 10 microM), APD, ADP + Pi, beta,gamma-methylene-ATP, CTP, and GTP were unable to substitute for ATP. Active site ligands such as acetyl phosphate, phosphate, and p-nitrophenyl phosphate were also ineffective at increasing the Ca2+ affinity. However, vanadate, a transition state analog of the phosphoenzyme, gave a binding capacity of 1.0 mol/active site and the apparent Kd for free Ca2+ was less than or equal to 18 microM. Mg2+ displaced bound Ca2+ in the absence and presence of ATP but Ca2+ was bound about 10-20 times more tightly than Mg2+. The free Mg2+ affinity, like Ca2+, increased in the presence of ATP. Monovalent cations had no effect on Ca2+ binding in the absence of ATP but dit reduce Ca2+ binding in the presence of ATP (K+ = Rb+ = NH4 + greater than Na+ greater than Li+ greater than Cs+ greater than TMA+, where TMA is tetramethylammonium chloride) by reducing phosphorylation. These results indicate that the Ca2+ and Mg2+ bound more tightly to the phosphoenzyme conformation. Eosin fluorescence changes showed that both Ca2+ and Mg2+ stabilized E1 conformations (i.e. cytosolic conformations of the monovalent cation site(s)) (Ca.E1 and Mg.E1). Addition of the substrate acetyl phosphate to either Ca.E1 or Mg.E1 produced identical eosin fluorescence showing that Ca2+ and Mg2+ gave similar E2 (extracytosolic) conformations at the eosin (nucleotide) site. In the presence of acetyl phosphate and K+, the conformations with Ca2+ or Mg2+ were also similar. Comparison of the kinetics of the phosphoenzyme and Ca2+ binding showed that Ca2+ bound prior to phosphorylation and dissociated after dephosphorylation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Human term placenta contains an ATP diphosphohydrolase activity which hydrolyses ATP to ADP and inorganic phosphate and ADP to AMP and a second mole of inorganic phosphate. The activity has a pH optimum between 8.0 and 8.5. Magnesium or calcium ions are required for maximum activity. Other nucleoside phosphates, p-nitrophenyl phosphate or sodium pyrophosphate, are not hydrolysed. The activity is not due to ATPases, or to myokinase, as determined by the use of inhibitors. NaF and NaN3 were found to inhibit strongly the activity thus identifying it as an ATP diphosphohydrolase. A sensitive enzymatic assay for measurement of AMP, one of the products of the reaction, was established, based on the strong inhibition of muscle fructose 1,6-biphosphatase by AMP. The range of the assay was 0.05-0.8 microM AMP. ATP diphosphohydrolase was found to have a rate of AMP production from ADP twice the rate from ATP. Under the same conditions, the assay for Pi release, on the other hand, gave velocities similar to each other for the two substrates. The activity appears to be identical to the ADP-hydrolysing activity in placenta reported by others.

The efficiency factor, the number of moles of ATP generated per mole of glucose fermented, was determined in anaerobic, non-carbon-limited N2-fixing cultures of Bacillus polymyxa, Bacillus macerans, Bacillus azotofixans, and Clostridium butyricum through identification and quantitation of the fermentation products by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and measurement of acetate kinase activities. All three Bacillus species had acetate kinase activities and produced acetate and ethanol as the major fermentation products. The maximum amounts of ATP generated per mole of glucose fermented were 2.70, 2.64, and 2.88 mol in B. polymyxa, B. macerans, and B. azotofixans, respectively, compared with 3.25 mol in C. butyricum. Thus, in the N2-fixing Bacillus species, the efficiency factors are lower than that in C. butyricum. Steady-state ATP/ADP concentration ratios were measured in non-carbon-limited N2-fixing cultures of B. polymyxa and B. azotofixans through separation and quantitation of the adenylates in cell extracts by ion-pair reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The observed ATP/ADP ratios were 4.5 and 3.8, and estimated energy charges were 0.81 to 0.86 and 0.81 to 0.83, respectively, for B. polymyxa and B. azotofixans. The results suggest that under these growth conditions, the rate of ATP regeneration is adequate to meet the energy requirement for N2 fixation in the Bacillus species, in contrast to N2-fixing Clostridium pasteurianum and Klebsiella pneumoniae, for which substantially lower steady-state ATP/ADP ratios and energy charges have been reported. Implications of the results are discussed in relation to possible differences between Bacillus and Clostridium species in energy requirements for N2 fixation and concomitant ammonia assimilation.

The characteristics and specificity of inactivation of the chloroplast F1-ATPase (CF1) with 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzofurazan (Nbf-Cl) have been investigated. Inactivation of the octylglucoside-dependent Mg2+-ATPase activity of latent CF1 by Nbf-Cl can be correlated with the formation of about 1.2 mol of Nbf-O-Tyr per mole of enzyme. Following inactivation of CF1 with [14C]Nbf-Cl, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate revealed that the majority of the radioactive reagent incorporated is present in the beta subunit. Treatment of the enzyme with [14C]Nbf-Cl following dithiothreitol heat activation, led to similar labeling of the beta subunit and substantial incorporation of 14C into the gamma subunit. On complete inactivation, about 4 mol of Nbf-S-Cys is formed per mole of dithiothreitol-heat-activated CF1. Incorporation of 14C into the gamma subunit is prevented by prior treatment of the latent CF1 or of the dithiothreitol-heat-activated CF1 with iodoacetamide. Following incubation of the dithiothreitol-heat-activated CF1 with iodoacetamide, complete inactivation of the octylglucoside-dependent Mg2+-ATPase activity by Nbf-Cl can be correlated with the formation of about 1.2 mol of Nbf-O-Tyr per mole of enzyme. After stabilization of the [14C]Nbf-O-Tyr derivative by treatment with sodium dithionite, a labeled peptide was purified. Automatic Edman degradation of this peptide revealed the sequence V-X-V-P-A-D-(D). The majority of the radioactivity was cleaved in the second cycle, the position occupied in CF1 by Tyr-beta-328, which is homologous to Tyr-beta-311, the residue reactive with Nbf-Cl in the beef heart mitochondrial F1-ATPase. When CF1, modified at Tyr-beta-328 with Nbf-Cl, is incubated at pH 9.0, the Nbf-O-Tyr adduct is hydrolyzed, leading to concomitant recovery of the ATPase activity. In double labeling experiments, two-dimensional isoelectric focusing in the presence of urea followed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate indicates that 2-azido-ADP, covalently bound at the tight ADP binding site, and the tyrosine modified by [14C]Nbf-Cl are located in different beta subunits.

Adenosinetriphosphopyridoxal (AP3PL) specifically modifies Lys684 of Ca2(+)-ATPase of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR-ATPase) in the presence of Ca2+, leading to its inactivation (Yamamoto, H. et al. (1988) J. Biochem. 103, 452-457). We have now investigated the effects of AP3PL on SR-ATPase in the absence of Ca2+. Similarly to its action in the presence of Ca2+, AP3PL inhibited the Ca2(+)-transporting activity in a dose-dependent manner in the absence of Ca2+ as well. ATP and ADP protected SR-ATPase against inactivation by this reagent. One mole of AP3PL was bound per mol of SR-ATPase with concomitant loss of the Ca2(+)-transporting activity. Binding of AP3PL to SR-ATPase was prevented by ATP. AP3PL-labeled SR membranes were digested with thermolysin and labeled thermolytic peptides were purified through C18 reversed-phase HPLC. Two major AP3PL-labeled peptides were obtained in approximately 1:1 ratio; one was an octapeptide corresponding to 679-ValGluProSerHisLys*SerLys-686, and the other, a nonapeptide corresponding to 487-PheSerArgAspSerLys*ArgMetSer-495 (Lys* indicates a labeled Lys residue) of SR-ATPase. Lys684 in the former turned out to be the same as the highly specific target of AP3PL in the presence of Ca2+ which was identified previously. The target site specificity of AP3PL thus changed significantly but not entirely on binding of Ca2+ to SR-ATPase. This indicates that the spatial arrangement around the gamma-phosphoryl group of the bound ATP is affected by Ca2+ ions bound at the transport site. It is also likely that Lys492 and Lys684 are situated close together in the ATP binding site of SR-ATPase.

Two peptide fragments, derived from the head and tail of rabbit muscle myokinase, were found to possess remarkable and specific ligand-binding properties (Hamada et al., 1979). By initiating systematic syntheses and measurements of equilibrium substrate-binding properties of these two sets of peptides, or portions thereof, which encompass the binding sites for (a) the magnesium complexes of the nucleotide substrates (MgATP2- and MgADP-) and (b) the uncomplexed nucleotide substrates (ADP3- and AMP2-) of rabbit muscle myokinase, some of the requirements for binding of the substrates to ATP-AMP transphosphorylase are being deduced and chemically outlined. One requirement for tight nucleotide binding appears to be a minimum peptide length of 15-25 residues. In addition, Lys-172 and/or Lys-194 may be involved in the binding of epsilon AMP. The syntheses are described as a set of peptides corresponding to residues 31-45, 20-45, 5-45, and 1-45, and a set of peptides corresponding to residues 178-192, 178-194, and 172-194 of rabbit muscle adenylate kinase. The ligand-binding properties of the first set of synthetic peptides to the fluorescent ligands: epsilon MgATP/epsilon ATP and epsilon MgADP/epsilon ADP are quantitatively presented in terms of their intrinsic dissociation constants (K'd) and values of N (maximal number of moles bound per mole of peptide); and compared with the peptide fragment MT-I (1-44) obtained from rabbit muscle myokinase (Kuby et al., 1984) and with the native enzyme (Hamada et al., 1979). In addition, the values of N and K'd are given for the second set of synthetic peptides to the fluorescent ligands epsilon AMP and epsilon ADP as well as for the peptide fragments MT-XII(172-194) and CB-VI(126-194) (Kuby et al., 1984) and, in turn, compared with the native enzyme. A few miscellaneous dissociation constants which had been derived kinetically are also given for comparison (e.g., the Ki for epsilon AMP and the value of KMg epsilon ATP obtained for the native enzyme) (Hamada and Kuby, 1978), and the K'd measured for Cr3+ ATP [corrected] and the synthetic peptide I1-45 (Fry et al., 1985b).

8-Azido-ATP is a substrate for the ATP synthase in submitochondrial particles with a Vmax equal to 6% of the Vmax with ATP. The Km values for 8-azido-ATP are similar to those for ATP. ATP synthase in submitochondrial particles can bind maximally 2 mol 8-N-ATP or 8-N-ADP per mole and the inhibition of ATP hydrolysis by covalently bound N-ATP or N-ADP is proportional to the saturation of the enzyme with inhibitor, similar to the results obtained with isolated F1. Both 8-N-ATP and 8-N-ADP are bound mainly to the beta subunits and at all levels of saturation the distribution of the label is 77% to the beta and 23% to the alpha subunits. It is proposed that the binding of 8-azido-AXP itself is mainly to the beta subunit, but that part of the nitreno radicals formed during excitation with light reacts with an amino acid of the alpha subunit, due to the location of the binding site at an interface between a beta and an alpha subunit. Partial saturation with 8-N-ATP, under conditions that the concentration of 8-azido-ATP during the incubation is intermediate between the low and high Km values, does not abolish the apparent negative cooperativity of ATP hydrolysis. It is concluded that this apparent cooperativity is not due to the presence of two different catalytic sites, nor to a cooperativity between the two catalytic sites, but to interaction between the catalytic sites and regulatory sites.

2-Azidoadenosine 5'-diphosphate (2-azido-ADP) labeled with 32P in the alpha-position was prepared and used to photolabel the nucleotide binding sites of beef heart mitochondrial F1-ATPase. The native F1 prepared by the procedure of Knowles and Penefsky [Knowles, A. F., & Penefsky, H. S. (1972) J. Biol. Chem. 247, 6617-6623] contained an average of 2.9 mol of tightly bound ADP plus ATP per mole of enzyme. Short-term incubation of F1 with micromolar concentrations of [alpha-32P]-2-azido-ADP in the dark in a Mg2+-supplemented medium resulted in the rapid supplementary binding of 3 mol of label/mol of F1, consistent with the presence of six nucleotide binding sites per F1. The Kd relative to the reversible binding of [alpha-32P]-2-azido-ADP to mitochondrial F1 in the dark was 5 microM in the presence of MgCl2 and 30 microM in the presence of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. A linear relationship between the percentage of inactivation of F1 and the extent of covalent photolabeling by [alpha-32P]-2-azido-ADP was observed for percentages of inactivation up to 90%, extrapolating to 2 mol of covalently bound [alpha-32P]-2-azido-ADP/mol of F1. Under these conditions, only the beta subunit was photolabeled. Covalent binding of one photolabel per beta subunit was ascertained by electrophoretic separation of labeled and unlabeled beta subunits based on charge differences and by mapping studies showing one major radioactive peptide segment per photolabeled beta subunit.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The photoreactive nucleotides [2-3H]8-azido-ATP and [2-3H]8-azido-ADP could be used to label the nucleotide binding sites on isolated mitochondrial F1-ATPase to a maximum of 4 mol of nucleotide per mol F1, also when the F1 was depleted of tightly bound nucleotides. At a photolabel concentration of 300-1000 microM, label was found on both alpha and beta subunits in a typically 1:3 ratio, independent of the total amount bound. Under these conditions the covalent binding of two nucleotides is needed for full inactivation (Wagenvoord, R.J., Van der Kraan, I. and Kemp, A. (1977) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 460, 17-24). At lower concentrations of [2-3H]8-azido-ATP (20 microM), it was found that covalent binding of only 1 mol of nucleotide per mole F1 was required for complete inactivation to take place indicating catalytic site cooperativity in the mechanism of ATP hydrolysis. Under those conditions, radioactivity was only found on the beta subunits, which would indicate that the catalytic site is located on a beta subunit and that a second site is located on the alpha/beta interface. It is found that four out of the six nucleotide binding sites are exchangeable and can be labelled with 8-azido-AT(D)P, i.e., two catalytic sites and two non-catalytic sites.

When the heat-activated chloroplast F1 ATPase hydrolyzes [3H, gamma-32P]ATP, followed by the removal of medium ATP, ADP, and Pi, the enzyme has labeled ATP, ADP, and Pi bound to it in about equal amounts. The total of the bound [3H]ADP and [3H]ATP approaches 1 mol/mol of enzyme. Over a 30-min period, most of the bound [32P]Pi falls off, and the bound [3H]ATP is converted to bound [3H]ADP. Enzyme with such remaining tightly bound ADP will form bound ATP from relatively high concentrations of medium Pi with either Mg2+ or Ca2+ present. The tightly bound ADP is thus at a site that retains a catalytic capacity for slow single-site ATP hydrolysis (or synthesis) and is likely the site that participates in cooperative rapid net ATP hydrolysis. During hydrolysis of 50 microM [3H]ATP in the presence of either Mg2+ or Ca2+, the enzyme has a steady-state level of about one bound [3H]ADP per mole of enzyme. Because bound [3H]ATP is also present, the [3H]ADP is regarded as being present on two cooperating catalytic sites. The formation and levels of bound ATP, ADP, and Pi show that reversal of bound ATP hydrolysis can occur with either Ca2+ or Mg2+ present. They do not reveal why no phosphate oxygen exchange accompanies cleavage of low ATP concentrations with Ca2+ in contrast to Mg2+ with the heat-activated enzyme. Phosphate oxygen exchange does occur with either Mg2+ or Ca2+ present when low ATP concentrations are hydrolyzed with the octyl glucoside activated ATPase. Ligand binding properties of Ca2+ at the catalytic site rather than lack of reversible cleavage of bound ATP may underlie lack of oxygen exchange under some conditions.
