Disrupted cells of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus exhibited adenosine triphosphatase activity, 60 to 80% of which was in the soluble fraction. Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide did not inhibit the adenosine triphosphatase activity in membrane particles. The particles did not show energy-linked transhydrogenase activity. The activity of non-energy-linked transhydrogenase as well as the rate of oxygen consumption were higher in membrane particles of the host-independent strain than in the host-dependent strains. The uptake of amino acid uptake was inhibited by cyanide and by carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenyl hydrazone. Valinomycin, in the presence of K+, did not inhibit the uptake, and only partial inhibition was exerted by arsenate and dicyclohexylarbodiimide. Sulfhydryl reagents inhibited amino acid uptake.

1. The rates of translocation of oxaloacetate and l-malate into rat liver mitochondria were measured by a direct spectrophotometric assay. 2. Penetration obeyed Michaelis-Menten kinetics, and apparent K(m) values were 40mum for oxaloacetate and 0.13mm for l-malate. 3. Arrhenius plots of the temperature-dependence of rates of penetration gave activation energies of +10kcal./mole for oxaloacetate and +8kcal./mole for l-malate. 4. The translocation of both oxaloacetate and l-malate was competitively inhibited by d-malate, succinate, malonate, meso-tartrate, maleate and citraconate. The K(i) values of these inhibitors were similar for the penetration of both oxaloacetate and l-malate. 5. Rates of penetration were stimulated by NNN'N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride plus ascorbate under aerobic conditions or by ATP under anaerobic conditions. 6. The energy-dependent stimulation of translocation was abolished by uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation. Oligomycin A, aurovertin, octyl-guanidine and atractyloside prevented the stimulation by ATP, but did not inhibit the stimulation by NNN'N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride plus ascorbate. 7. Mitochondria prepared in the presence of ethylene-dioxybis(ethyleneamino)tetra-acetic acid did not exhibit the energy-dependent translocation, but this could be restored by the addition of 50mum-calcium chloride. 8. Valinomycin or gramicidin plus potassium chloride enhanced the energy-dependent translocation of oxaloacetate and l-malate. 9. Addition of oxaloacetate stimulated the adenosine triphosphatase activity of the mitochondria, and the ratio of ;extra' oxaloacetate translocation to ;extra' adenosine triphosphatase activity was 1.6:1. 10. Possible mechanisms for the energy-dependent entry of oxaloacetate and l-malate into mitochondria are discussed in relation to the above results.

1. Membrane preparations from both uncA(-) and uncB(-) mutant strains of Escherichia coli K12, in which electron transport is uncoupled from phosphorylation, were fractionated by washing with a low-ionic-strength buffer. The fractionation gave a ;5mm-Tris wash' and a ;membrane residue' from each strain. This technique, applied to membranes from normal cells, separates the Mg(2+),Ca(2+)-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase activity from the membrane-bound electron-transport chain and the non-energy-linked transhydrogenase activity. 2. Reconstitution of both oxidative phosphorylation and the ATP-dependent transhydrogenase activity was obtained by a combination of the ;membrane residue' from strain AN249 (uncA(-)) with the ;5mm-Tris wash' from strain AN283 (uncB(-)). 3. Valinomycin plus NH(4) (+) inhibited oxidative phosphorylation both in membranes from a normal strain of E. coli and in the reconstituted membrane system derived from the mutant strains. 4. The electron-transport-dependent transhydrogenase activity was located in the membrane residue and was de-repressed in both the mutant strains. 5. The spatial and functional relationships between the proteins specified by the uncA and uncB genes and the transhydrogenase protein are discussed.
