F1-ATPase of rat liver was examined for its capacity to interact with both metal ions and nucleotides and for the effect of covalent ATPase inhibitors on these interactions. As isolated, rat liver F1 contains about 2 mol of Mg2+/mol of F1, 1 mol of which can be removed or exchanged. The remaining mole of Mg2+ per mole of F1 remains very tightly associated with F1 and is recovered in the alpha gamma fraction after cold denaturation. Rat liver F1 also contains as isolated a nearly equivalent amount of nucleotide (approximately 1.7 mol/mol of F1) which is readily removed by incubation at room temperature followed by column centrifugation. The "2 Mg2+ enzyme" binds almost 3 mol of 5'-adenylyl imidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP)/mol of F1 in the presence or absence of added divalent cation. When divalent cation is present as Co2+, an equivalent activator to Mg2+ in the ATPase reaction, 1 mol of F1 binds 3 mol of both AMP-PNP and Co2+. under these conditions, the very tight Mg2+ site remains loaded, the exchangeable Mg2+ site is replaced with AMP-PNPCo, and two additional AMP-PNPCo sites are filled. At this point, ADP can be loaded onto the enzyme as a fourth nucleotide at a site separate and distinct from the AMP-PNP sites. Significantly, rat liver F1 contains only a single readily detectable ADP binding site in the presence or absence of divalent cation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The photolabeling of chloroplast F1 ATPase, following exposure to Mg2+ and 2-azido-ATP and separation from medium nucleotides, results in derivatization of two separate peptide regions of the beta subunit. Up to 3 mol of the analogue can be incorporated per mole of CF1, with covalent binding of one moiety or two moieties per beta subunit that can be either AMP, ADP, or ATP derivatives. These results, the demonstration of noncovalent tight binding of at least four [3H]adenine nucleotides to the enzyme and the presence of three beta subunits per enzyme, point to six potential adenine nucleotide binding sites per molecule. The tightly bound 2-azido nucleotides on CF1, found after exposure of the heat-activated and EDTA-treated enzyme to Mg2+ and 2-azido-ATP, differ in their ease of replacement during subsequent hydrolysis of ATP. Some of the bound nucleotides are not readily replaced during catalytic turnover and covalently label one peptide region of the beta subunit. They are on noncatalytic sites. Other tightly bound nucleotides are readily replaced during catalytic turnover and label another peptide region of the beta subunit. They are at catalytic sites. No alpha-subunit labeling is detected upon photolysis of the bound 2-azido nucleotides. However, one or both of the sites could be at an alpha-beta-subunit interface with the 2-azido region close to the beta subunit, or both binding sites may be largely or entirely on the beta subunit.

In mitochondria and submitochondrial particles (SMP), the rate of ATP synthesis is restricted by the rate of energy production by the respiratory chain. Fractional inactivation of the ATP synthase complexes (F0F1) of bovine heart SMP by covalent modifiers increased the rate of ATP synthesis per mole of active F0F1. Thus, by use of SMP containing fractionally inactivated F0F1 complexes, a synthetic rate of 420 mol of ATP (mol of F0F1.s)-1 was measured, which extrapolated to a Vmax of 440 s-1. At this extrapolated point, the turnover rate of F0F1 complexes was independent of the rate of energy production by the respiratory chain. These results have been discussed in relation to the effect of fractional inactivation of the F0F1 complexes of SMP on the steady-state free energy of the system. The above rate of ATP synthesis is comparable to the rate of ATP hydrolysis by SMP (400-520 s-1) in the absence of energy coupling constraints and control by the ATPase inhibitor protein. More interestingly, this rate is also comparable to the rate of ATP synthesis by chloroplast F0F1 under high light intensity (approximately 420 s-1). Under the conditions specified, bovine heart SMP and chloroplasts show similar apparent Km values for ADP. Thus, it appears that the mammalian and chloroplast ATP synthase complexes are similar not only in structure but also in catalytic efficiency for ATP synthesis.

This article reviews the current status of information regarding the role of energy in the process of oxidative phosphorylation by mitochondria. The available data suggest that in submitochondrial particles (SMP) energy is utilized for the binding of ADP and Pi and for the release of ATP bound at the catalytic sites of F1-ATPase. The process of ATP synthesis on the surface of F1 from F1-bound ADP and Pi appears to be associated with negligible free energy change. The rate of energy production by the respiratory chain modulates the kinetics of ATP synthesis between a low Km (for ADP and Pi)-low Vmax mode and a high Km-high Vmax mode. The Km extremes for ADP are 2-3 microM and 120-150 microM, and Vmax for ATP synthesis at high rates of energy production by bovine-heart SMP is about 440 S-1 (mole F1)-1 at 30 degrees C, which corresponds to 11 mumol ATP (min.mg of protein)-1. The interaction of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) or oligomycin at the proteolipid (subunit c) of the membrane sector (F0) of the ATP synthase complex alters the mode of ATP binding at the catalytic sites of F1, probably to one of lower affinity. It has been suggested that protonic energy might be conveyed to the catalytic sites of F1 in an analogous manner, i.e., via conformation changes in the ATP synthase complex initiated by proton-induced alterations in the structure of the DCCD-binding proteolipid. Finally, the relationship between the steady-state membrane potential (delta psi) and the rates of electron transfer and ATP synthesis has been discussed. It has been shown, in agreement with the delocalized chemiosmotic mechanism, that under appropriate conditions delta psi is exquisitely sensitive to changes in the rates of energy production and consumption.

The protein ATPase inhibitor entraps about five nucleotides in pig heart mitochondrial F1, one at least being a triphosphate [Di Pietro, A., Penin, F., Julliard, J.H., Godinot, C., & Gautheron, D.C. (1988) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 152, 1319-1325]. The fate of these nucleotides was studied during ATP synthesis driven by NADH oxidation in reconstituted inverted submitochondrial particles. Iodinated F1, containing 0.7 mol of endogenous nucleotides/mol, was first loaded with tritiated adenine nucleotides in the presence or absence of the protein inhibitor and then reassociated with F1-depleted submitochondrial particles (ASU particles) to reconstitute an efficient NADH-driven ATP synthesis. In the absence of the protein inhibitor, 1.7 mol of labeled nucleotides remained bound per mole of reassociated F1, 0.8-0.9 mol being rapidly exchangeable against medium ADP or ATP, as measured after rapid filtration through nitrocellulose filters. In the presence of the protein inhibitor, as many as 3.25 mol of labeled nucleotides remained bound per mole of reassociated F1. Under hydrolysis conditions where ATPase activity was highly inhibited, no release of tritiated nucleotide occurred. In contrast, under ATP synthesis conditions where the protonmotive force was generated by NADH oxidation, the progressive reversal of inhibition by the protein inhibitor was correlated to a concomitant release of tritiated nucleotide. When ATP synthesis became fully active, about one nucleotide was completely exchanged whereas more than three nucleotides remained tightly bound and did not appear to be directly involved in ATP synthesis.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Four mechanisms for the allosteric regulation of the calcium and magnesium ion activated adenosinetriphosphatase (Ca,Mg-ATPase) of sarcoplasmic reticulum were examined. Negative cooperativity in substrate binding was not supported by 3H-labeled 5'-adenylyl methylenediphosphate (AMPPCP) binding, which was best fit by a single class of sites. Although calcium had no effect on the absence of cooperativity, it did increase the affinity of the enzyme for AMPPCP. Allosteric regulation via an effector site for AMPPCP or ATP on the same ATPase chain was eliminated by the stoichiometry of ATP and AMPPCP binding, 1 mol of site per mole of enzyme. The possibility that AMPPCP acts at an effector site was eliminated by showing that it competitively inhibits the rate of phosphoenzyme formation. Allosteric regulation of kinetics via site-site interaction in an oligomer was eliminated by showing that the inhibition of ATPase activity by fluorescein isothiocyanate is linearly dependent upon its incorporation into the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The fourth mechanism considered was stimulation of ATPase activity by the binding of ATP or AMPPCP at the active site after departure of ADP but before the departure of inorganic phosphate. This hypothesis was supported by site stoichiometry and by the observation that AMPPCP or ATP stimulates v/EP, the rate of ATP hydrolysis for a given level of phosphoenzyme. Computer simulation of this branched monomeric model could duplicate all experimental observations made with AMPPCP and ATP as allosteric regulators. The condition that the affinity of ATP binding to the enzyme be reduced when it is phosphorylated, which is required by the computer model, was confirmed experimentally.

Mathematical model of the beta-thromboglobulin (BTG) release from alpha-granules stimulated with ADP is compared with experimental data. Secretion of BTG was analysed using platelets washed by different procedures in the presence or absence of inhibitors of platelet activation. The release of BTG was monitored in response to 5-100 microM ADP. The rate constant of the release of BTG (K = 1.83 X 10(3) M-1 min-1) and efficient amount of ADP molecules secreted by a single platelet (W = 5.2 X 10(-18) mole) were estimated. The model precisely describes the release of BTG associated with the isolation of platelets (blood collection, washing procedure) and allows to estimate the extent of activation of blood platelets in the suspension.

Myosin has two heads which can bind with F-actin and react with ATP. The skeletal muscle myosin forms each 1 mol of the myosin-phosphate-ADP complex (M-P-ADP) and the myosin-ATP complex (M-ATP). The actomyosin ATPase reaction which is coupled with muscle contraction is catalyzed only by the head which forms M-P-ADP. However, the function of M-ATP forming head in muscle contraction has not been elucidated. We studied the binding of S-1 and HMM with F-actin and the dissociation of acto-S-1 or acto-HMM by ATP or AMPPNP using the change in light-scattering and fluorescence of pyrene bound to F-actin. S-1 and HMM bound with actin at 1:1 and 1:2 molar ratio, respectively. Acto-S-1 dissociated by one mole of ATP per mole of S-1 but acto-HMM dissociated by 1 mol ATP per mol of HMM (0.5 mol/mol head). Acto-HMM dissociates by AMPPNP (or ADP) via a ternally complex. Acto-HMM bound two mole of AMPPNP, but acto-HMM dissociated by a function of (AMPPNP) but not (AMPPNP)2. These results suggested that the affinity of HMM with F-actin decreased by the binding of one mole of AMPPNP. The result presented here showed that binding of M-ATP forming head with F-actin is controlled by the ATPase reaction of the M-P-ADP forming head. It is suggested that during muscle contraction two heads react cooperatively with thin filament.

Several studies have been performed on the structure of muscle pyruvate kinase. X-ray diffraction has provided a three-dimensional picture of the active site, and chemical modification studies have revealed essential amino acid residues for substrate binding or catalysis. We have shown that 8-azido-ADP (N3 ADP) behaves as a photoaffinity label for the enzyme. This reagent upon irradiation produces inactivation of the enzyme, and the activity loss is protected by nucleotides. The partially modified enzyme shows the same Km for ADP as the native one suggesting an "all or none" inactivation effect. The incorporation of 1 mole of 14C-N3 ADP per subunit correlates with complete inactivation. A radioactive peptide was isolated from the enzyme labeled with 14C-N3 ADP. The partial sequence of this peptide showed that it corresponds to the same peptide isolated from rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase labeled with dialdehyde-ADP and with trinitrobenzenesulfonate. This peptide is identical to a region in the cat and chicken muscle enzymes, and also a high degree of homology is found in a region of the rat liver and yeast enzymes. These studies show that N3 ADP binds to the same site as dialdehyde-ADP in rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase, and this site seems to be the nucleotide binding site.

(Na+ + K+)-ATPase from shark rectal glands reconstituted into lipid vesicles and oriented inside out catalyses an ouabain-sensitive Na+-Na+ exchange in the absence of intravesicular K+ when ATP is added extravesicularly. Intravesicular ouabain inhibited the exchange completely. This was also the case with digitoxigenin added to the vesicles. Intravesicular oligomycin inhibited the Na+-Na+ exchange partly in a fashion which was ATP dependent. The exchange is accompanied by a net hydrolysis of ATP with an apparent Km of 2.5 microM. ADP was found to give no stimulation of the Na+-Na+ exchange, contrarily, ADP inhibited the ATP-dependent exchange of Na+ both at optimal and supraoptimal ATP concentrations. When initial influx and efflux of 22Na was measured and the hydrolysis of ATP concomitantly determined a coupling ratio of 2.8:1.3:1 was found, i.e. 2.8 moles of Na+ were taken up (cellular efflux) and 1.3 moles of Na+ extruded (cellular influx) for each mole of ATP hydrolyzed. The electrogenic Na+-Na+ exchange generated a transmembrane potential which was measured with the fluorescent probe ANS (8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid) to be 60 mV positive inside the liposomes (extracellular).
