Three mutant unc alleles (unc-408, unc-410, and unc-429) affecting the coupling of electron transport to oxidative phosphorylation in Escherichia coli K-12 have been characterized. Genetic complementation analyses using previously defined mutant unc alleles indicated that the new mutant unc alleles affect a previously undescribed gene designated uncE. The phenotype of strains carrying the uncE408 or uncE429 allele is similar in that Mg(2+)-adenosine triphosphatase activity is only found in the cytoplasmic fraction, and membranes do not bind the F(1) portion of adenosine triphosphatase purified from a normal strain. In contrast, adenosine triphosphatase activity is present both in the cytoplasm and on the membranes from a strain carrying the unc-410 allele, and normal F(1) binds to F(1)-depleted membranes from this strain. The adenosine triphosphatase solubilized from membranes of a strain carrying the unc-410 allele reconstituted ATP-dependent membrane energization in F(1)-depleted membranes from a normal strain. Genetic complementation tests using various Mu-induced unc alleles in partial diploid strains show that the uncE gene is in the unc operon and that the order of genes is uncB E A D C. The unc-410 allele differs from the uncE408 and uncE429 alleles in that complementation tests with the Mu-induced unc alleles indicate that more than one gene is affected. It is concluded that this is due to a deletion which includes part of the uncE gene and another gene, or genes, between the uncE and uncA genes.

1. The naturally occurring ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase)-inhibitor protein, from bovine heart mitochondria, was obtained as a single pure protein. It was not identical with any of the five subunits (alpha-epsilon) of the isolated ATPase, and appeared to be a single polypeptide chain. 2. The inhibitor combined with the ATPase in a 1:1 molar ratio, producing a completely inhibited ATPase molecule. The affinity of the ATPase for its inhibitor is high; the K(d) is of the order of 10(-8)m. 3. The enthalpy of the ATPase-inhibitor complex-formation is positive, the value of K(d) decreasing as the temperature is raised. This suggests that the forces involved are largely hydrophobic in nature. 4. Hydrolysis of a nucleoside triphosphate promoted formation of the ATPase-inhibitor complex, although the equilibrium position was almost unaffected by the rate of hydrolysis. At low salt concentration, less than 200 turnovers of the ATPase suffice for the ATPase to combine with the inhibitor protein. At higher salt concentrations, a larger number of turnovers is required. It is suggested that the inhibitor binds to a form of the ATPase that is produced transiently during hydrolysis. 5. In the presence of 75mm-K(2)SO(4), the rates of association and dissociation are slow enough to allow their kinetics to be studied. Association is first-order in inhibitor concentration, but fractional order in ATPase concentration. Dissociation is first-order in ATPase-inhibitor complex concentration. The temperature coefficients of the ;on' and ;off' processes were also measured. 6. A simple kinetic model for the ATPase-inhibitor interaction is proposed that can be extended to take into account release of inhibitor protein under energized conditions on the membrane. 7. The isolated ATPase is inhibited by preincubation with Mg(2+), reversible by subsequent addition of EDTA, and by ADP, reversible by subsequent addition of ATP. These effects are not found on the membrane-bound ATPase. The mechanism of these effects is discussed.

1. For a period of 31 days male rats were given a liquid diet containing 36% of its energy as ethanol. Liver mitochondria from these animals demonstrated lowered respiratory control with succinate as substrate, a diminished energy-linked anilinonaphthalene-sulphonic acid fluorescence response, and lowered endogenous ATP concentrations. The phospholipid/protein ratio in mitochondria from these animals was unchanged; only minor alterations in the phospholipid fatty acid composition were observed. 2. In experiments where mitochondria were incubated at 18 degrees C in iso-osmotic sucrose (aging experiments), the above energy-linked properties were lost at an earlier time in organelles from ethanol-fed animals. Phospholipase A2 acitivty was depressed in mitochondria from control animals until respiratory control was lost and ATP was depleted. In contrast, no lag in the expression of phospholipase activity was observed in mitochondria from ethanol-fed rats. This loss of control of the phospholipase resulted in an earlier degradation of membrane phospholipids under the conditions of the aging experiments. 3. The ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) activities, measured in freshly prepared tightly coupled mitochondria and in organelles uncoupled with carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone, were not significantly different in ethanol-fed and liquid-diet control animals. When the mitochondria were aged at 18 degrees C, the activity increased with time of incubation in organelles from both groups of animals. A lag was observed, however, as the ATPase activity increased in control preparations. This lag was not present as APTase activity increased in mitochondria from ethanol-fed animals. 4. The significantly lowered values observed for energy-linked functions with succinate as an energy source demonstrate that ethanol elicits an alteration in liver mitochondria that affects the site II-site III regions of the oxidative-phosphorylation system. The apparent lack of control of the phospholipase A2 and ATPase activities in mitochondria from ethanol-fed animals suggests that the membrane microenvironment of these enzymes has been altered such that they can exert their catabolic effects more readily under conditions of mild perturbation. The fatty acid analyses demonstrate that the observed alterations both in the energy-linked functions and in control of the phospholipase and ATPase are not mediated through changes in the acyl chain composition of bulk-phase phospholipids.

The steady state kinetics of ATP hydrolysis by partially purified adenosine triphosphatase preparations of sarcoplasmic reticulum was investigated at 0 degrees C and pH 7.0 in 2.0 mM MgCl2, 20 microM [gamma-32P]ATP, 20 microM CaCl2, and various concentrations of KCl in the presence and absence of 12% dimethyl sulfoxide. The steady state phosphoenzyme formed under these conditions could be resolved kinetically into ADP-sensitive and ADP-insensitive forms. These steady state kinetic data were analyzed according to a scheme in which the ADP-sensitive and ADP-insensitive phosphoenzymes occur sequentially, and Pi is derived from the latter. The KCl-dependent turnover rate of the ADP-insensitive phosphoenzyme that was estimated according to this scheme was in good agreement with the directly measured hydrolysis rate constant of the ADP-insensitive phosphoenzyme. In addition, the time course of the decomposition of the total amount of phosphoenzyme, measured after a steady state level was reached in 20 mM KCl and further phosphorylation was prevented by addition of excess ethylene glycol bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid, was also in agreement with that calculated according to this scheme using values of the rate constants estimated from the amounts of the ADP-sensitive and ADP-insensitive phosphoenzymes and the rate of ATP hydrolysis. These results, together with our previous findings, support the view that this scheme describes the mechanism of ATP hydrolysis in the presence of KCl.

1. Soluble ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) activity is released when rat liver submitochondrial particles are shaken with chloroform, provided that ATP or glycerol is present in the suspending medium. The extraction is very rapid and appears to be complete. 2. The ATPase of the chloroform extract is about 50% pure and can be readily purified to a specific activity of 60-70mumol/min per mg of protein by (NH(4))(2)SO(4) fractionation and column chromatography on Sephadex G-200. 3. The particulate and soluble ATPases have many similar properties, including their K(m) values for ATP, activation by various metal ions, hydrolytic activity with other nucleotides and stimulation by bicarbonate ions. 4. Unlike the particulate enzyme, the soluble enzyme is cold-labile and insensitive to oligomycin. 5. The molecular weight indicated by the mobility of the soluble ATPase on Sepharose 6B is 360000. 6. The soluble ATPase combines very readily with liver submitochondrial particles depleted of ATPase by salt extraction, and oligomycin-sensitivity is restored. Very little recombination of the enzyme occurs with chloroform-extracted particles. 7. The soluble enzyme contains orcinol-reactive material, suggesting that it may be a glycoprotein. The carbohydrate content was estimated to be 1-2% by weight. 8. It is concluded that the liver ATPase obtained by the chloroform extraction method of Beechey, Hubbard, Linnett, Mitchell & Munn [(1975) Biochem. J.148, 533-537] is similar to other preparations described previously and that this method is superior in simplicity and speed.

Mixed anhydrides of nucleoside triphosphates and mesitylenecarboxylic acid inhibit soluble mitochondrial ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase), but do not inhibit ATPase of submitochondrial particles. Inhibition of soluble mitochondrial ATPase by the mixed anhydride of epsilon-ATP and mesitylenecarboxylic acid is followed by the covalent binding of one nucleotide residue to a molecule of the protein. It is suggested that this covalent binding occurs in the catalytic site of the mitochondrial ATPase. The mixed anhydride of ADP and mesitylenecarboxylic acid inhibits the ATPase activity of submitochondrial particles and has no effect on the activity of soluble mitochondrial ATPase. After separation of the submitochondrial particles from the mixed anhydride of ADP and mesitylenecarboxylic acid, their ATPase activity is restored to its original value (half-time of reactivation 3--4 min). Incubation of submitochondrial particles or soluble mitochondrial ATPase with the mixed anhydride of ADP and mesitylenecarboxylic acid results in AMP formation.

The oligomycin- and N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-sensitive adenosine triphosphatase complex extracted with Triton X-100 from the chromatophores of Rhodospirillum rubrum was extensively purified. The purification procedure included (diethylamino)ethylcellulose chromatography and glycerol gradient centrifugation. The specific activity of Mg2+-dependent ATP hydrolysis in the purified preparation increased about 11-fold, while that of Ca2+-dependent ATP hydrolysis increased 50-fold as compared with chromatophores. The purified adenosine triphosphatase complex dissociated into a maximum of eight different polypeptides upon electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The estimated subunit molecular weights were as follows: 56 000 (alpha), 50 000 (beta), 33 000 (gamma), and those ranging from 17 000 to 9400 for the remaining smaller subunits. The purified preparation was incorporated into phospholipid vesicles by using the freeze--thaw technique. The reconstituted vesicles catalyzed [32P]ATP exchange, which was almost completely inhibited by both oligomycin and N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide as well as by a protonophorous uncoupler, carbonyl cyanide p-(trifluoromethoxy)phenylhydrazone.

Microsomal fraction was prepared by ultracentrifugation of homogenates of cortical tissue from bovine brains. The preparation displayed ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) activity in the presence of Mg(2+) (6.4mumol of P(i)/h per mg of protein) and Ca(2+) (3.4mumol of P(i)/h per mg of protein). Kinetic analysis of the activation of the enzyme preparation by Ca(2+) resulted in the demonstration of two apparent K(m) values for Ca(2+) (6.0x10(-8)m and 1.2x10(-6)m). Treatment of the microsomal membranes with Triton X-100 resulted in solubilization of the ATPase, though with some loss of activity. The solubilized microsomal proteins were incorporated into liposomes. By incubation of the liposomes in media containing (45)Ca(2+) an ATP-dependent uptake of Ca(2+) was demonstrated. The solubilized preparation was subjected to preparative isoelectric focusing in granulated gel beds. Two distinct peaks of Mg(2+)- and Ca(2+)-dependent ATPase activity were observed at pH4.8 (peak 4.8) and at pH6.3 (peak 6.3). The material isolated in peaks 4.8 and 6.3 was focused in polyacrylamide gel with pH gradients. The material corresponding to peak 4.8 consisted of a single protein, whereas peak 6.3 contained one major and at least one minor protein. Sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis confirmed these results and indicated that the major component of peak 4.8 and the protein of peak 6.3 both had a molecular weight of 105000. The material in peaks 4.8 and 6.3 was assayed for ATPase activity in the presence of various concentrations of Ca(2+). Kinetic analysis of the results for peak 4.8 demonstrated an apparent K(m) value for Ca(2+) of 4.1x10(-8)m. The enzyme isolated at pH6.3 had an apparent K(m) value of 3.8x10(-6)m. However, when the material from peak 4.8 was incubated in the presence of 1mm-Mg(2+) the ATPase could not be activated by Ca(2+).

The reaction of the mixed anhydride of [3H]ATP and mesitylenecarboxylic acid and soluble mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase is accompanied by the covalent binding of one molecule of the inhibitor to a molecule of the enzyme and results in the inhibition of adenosine triphosphatase activity by more than 90%. The electrophoresis of adenosine triphosphatase modified by reaction with the mixed anhydride of [3H]ATP and mesitylenecarboxylic acid in polyacrylamide gel in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate showed that the inhibitor is bound to the beta-subunit of the enzyme. The results suggest that ATP may also bind to the beta-subunit of the adenosine triphosphatase with its triphosphate moiety.

A plasma-membrane fraction was isolated from a post-nuclear extract of human neutrophils by centrifugation through a linear sucrose density gradient. This fraction exhibited a Ca2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity that could be differentiated from mitochondrial or myosin ATPase and from plasma-membrane Mg2+-dependent ATPase. When assayed in the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP, the Ca2+-dependent ATPase reaction resulted in the formation of an acid-resistant hydroxylamine-sensitive bond between the gamma-[32P] phosphate group and a membrane protein subunit with an apparent mol.wt. of 135000. Half-maximal activating effect of Ca2+ was found at 82nM and 0.18 microM for the ATPase and the formation of the 32P-membrane complex respectively. Generation of the phosphorylated product attained the steady state at 0 degrees C by about 30s, and was rapidly reversed by ADP. These results suggest that the Ca2+-activated ATPase reaction occurs through the formation of a phosphoprotein intermediate, similar to that described for some Ca2+-dependent ATPase enzymes associated with Ca2+ transport. The possibility thus exists that the neutrophil Ca2+-dependent ATPase catalyses a process of Ca2+ extrusion from the cell, thereby participating in the regulation of several Ca2+-dependent neutrophil functions.
