ATP synthase preparations [complex V, proton-translocatin ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) and oligomycin-sensitive ATPase ] contain stoicheiometric amounts of lipoic acid residues (up to 6mol of lipoic acid/mol of ATPase complex) and catalyse net ATP synthesis in an uncoupler-and oligomycin-sensitive reaction utilizing dihydrolipoate, oleoyl-CoA and oleic acid, or in a reaction utilizing oleoyl-S-lipoate. The terminal reactions of oxidative phosphorylation are thus analogous to those of substrate-level phosphorylation.

Ligand-binding studies with labelled triethyltin on yeast mitochondrial membranes showed the presence of high-affinity sites (KD = 0.6 micronM; 1.2 +/- 0.3 nmol/mg of protein) and low-affinity sites (KD less than 45 micronM; 70 +/- 20 nmol/mg of protein). The dissociation constant of the high-affinity site is in good agreement with the concentration of triethyltin required for inhibition of mitochondrial ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) and oxidative phosphorylation. The high-affinity site is not competed for by oligomycin or venturicidin, indicating that triethyltin reacts at a different site from these inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation. Fractionation of the mitochondrial membrane shows a specific association of the high-affinity sites with the ATP synthase complex. During purification of ATP synthase (oligomycin-sensitive ATPase) there is a 5-6-fold purification of oligomycin- and triethyltin-sensitive ATPase activity concomitant with a 7-9-fold increase in high-affinity triethyltin-binding sites. The purified yeast oligomycin-sensitive ATPase complex contains approximately six binding sites for triethyltin/mol of enzyme complex. It is concluded that specific triethyltin-binding sites are components of the ATP synthase complex, which accounts for the specific inhibition of ATPase and oxidative phosphorylation by triethyltin.

1. The synthesis of dibutylchloromethyltin chloride, a new covalent inhibitor of the mitochondrial ATP synthase [oligomycin-sensitive ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase)] complex is described, together with a method for preparing dibutylchloro[(3)H]methyltin chloride. 2. Studies with the yeast mitochondrial oligomycin-sensitive ATPase complex show that dibutylchloromethyltin chloride inhibits both the membrane-bound enzyme and also the purified Triton X-100-dispersed preparation. 3. F(1)-ATPase is not inhibited even at 500nmol of dibutylchloromethyltin chloride/mg of protein, and the general inhibitory properties are similar to those of triethyltin, oligomycin and dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide, known energy-transfer inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation. 4. Binding studies with yeast submitochondrial particles show that dibutylchloromethyltin chloride antagonizes the binding of triethyl[(113)Sn]tin, indicating that there is an interaction between the two inhibitor-binding sites. 5. Unlike triethyltin, inhibition by dibutylchloromethyltin chloride is due to a covalent interaction which titrates a component of the inner mitochondrial membrane present at a concentration of 8-9nmol/mg of protein. 6. All of the labelled component can be extracted with chloroform/methanol (2:1, v/v), and sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of the chloroform/methanol extract indicates that the labelled component has an apparent mol.wt. of 6000-8000. However, t.l.c. reveals the presence of only one labelled component which is lipophilic and non-protein and is distinct from the free inhibitor, mitochondrial phospholipids and the dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide-binding protein (subunit 9). 7. Inhibition of mitochondrial ATPase and oxidative phosphorylation is correlated with specific interaction with a non-protein lipophilic component of the mitochondrial inner membrane which is proposed to be a co-factor or intermediate of oxidative phosphorylation.

Thermoacidophilic archaebacteria have gained much interest because of their phylogenetic distance to eubacteria and eukaryotes and also because of their unique living conditions. Investigation of the energy-converting system therefore offers a key for understanding the evolutionary position and environmental adaptation of these unusual bacteria. A plasma-membrane-associated adenosine triphosphatase with specific activities of 0.3-0.6 mumol min-1 (mg protein)-1 has been detected in the thermoacidophilic archaebacterium Sulfolobus acidocaldarius (DSM 639). The enzyme exhibits two optima at pH 5.5 and 8.0, sulfite activation leads to only one optimum at pH 6.25. In the presence of the divalent cations Mg2+ or Mn2+ it hydrolyzes ATP with highest reactivity and also other purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, but not ADP and pyrophosphate. A specific stimulation by monovalent cations is not observed. The ATPase activity is not inhibited by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, azide or vanadate, but it is by the vascular ATPase inhibitor nitrate with an [I]50 of 8 mM. Linear Arrhenius plots up to 75 degrees C reflect pronounced adaptation to the hot environment of the archaebacterium. The solubilized ATPase as localized by activity staining in non-denaturating gels and further analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis is composed of two major polypeptides of 65 and 51 kDa reminiscent of the alpha and beta subunits of eubacterial and eukaryotic F0F1-ATPases. The ATPase is suggested as a probable candidate for a reversibly acting ATP synthase responsible for oxidative phosphorylation found in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius.

Metal ligands of the VO(2+)-adenosine diphosphate (ADP) complex bound to high-affinity catalytic site 1 of chloroplast F(1) adenosine triphosphatase (CF(1) ATPase) were characterized by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. This EPR spectrum contains two EPR species designated E and F not observed when VO(2+)-nucleotide is bound to site 3 of CF(1). Site-directed mutations betaE197C, betaE197D, and betaE197S in Chlamydomonas CF(1) impair ATP synthase and ATPase activity catalyzed by CF(1)F(o) and soluble CF(1), respectively, indicating that this residue is important for enzyme function. These mutations caused large changes in the (51)V hyperfine tensors of VO(2+)-nucleotide bound to site 1 but not to site 3. Mutations to the Walker homology B aspartate betaD262C, betaD262H, and betaD262T of Chlamydomonas CF(1) caused similar effects on the EPR spectrum of VO(2+)-ADP bound to site 1. These results indicate that the conversion of the low-affinity site 3 conformation to high-affinity site 1 involves the incorporation betaE197 and betaD262 as metal ligands.

Vacuolar-type H+-adenosine triphosphatase (V-ATPase) is one of the most fundamental enzymes in nature. V-ATPases are responsible for the regulation of proton concentration in the intracellular acidic compartments. It has similar structure with the mitochondrial F0F1-ATP synthase (F-ATPase). dagger The V-ATPases are composed of multiple subunits and have various physiological functions, including membrane and organelle protein sorting, neurotransmitter uptake, cellular degradative processes, and cytosolic pH regulation. The V-ATPases have been involved in multidrug resistance. Recently, plasma membrane V-ATPases have been involved in regulation of extracellular acidity, essential for cellular invasiveness and proliferation in tumor metastasis. The current knowledge regarding the structure and function of V-ATPase and its role in cancer biology is discussed.

Effect of thyroidectomy (Tx) and subsequent treatment with 3,5,3'-triiodo-L: -thyronine (T(3)) or replacement therapy (T(R)) with T(3)+ L: -thyroxine (T(4)) on the temperature kinetics properties of FoF(1 )adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase, ATP synthase, H(+)-translocating ATP synthase EC 3.6.3.14) and succinate oxidase (SO) and on the lipid/phospholipid makeup of rat kidney mitochondria were examined. Tx lowered ATPase activity, which T(3) treatment restored. SO activity was unchanged in Tx but decreased further by T(3) treatment. T(R )restored both activities. The energies of ATPase activation in the high and low temperature ranges (E (H) and E (L)) increased in the Tx and T(3) animals with decrease in phase transition temperature (Tt). T(R) restored E (H) and E (L) but not Tt to euthyroid levels. E (H) and E (L) of SO decreased in Tx animals. T(3) and T(R) restored E (H) whereas E (L) was restored only in the T(R) group; Tt increased in both groups. Total phospholipid and cholesterol contents decreased significantly in Tx and T(3)-treated animals. In Tx animals, sphingomyelin (SPM) and phosphatidylcholine (PC) components decreased, while phosphatidylserine (PS) and diphosphatidylglycerol components increased. T(3) and T(R) treatments caused decreases in SPM, phosphatidylinositol and PS. PC and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) increased in the T(3) group. T(R) resulted in increased lysophospolipids and PE. Changes in kinetic parameters of the two enzymes were differently correlated with specific phospholipid components. Both T(3) and T(R) regimens were unable to restore normal membrane structure-function relationships.

This minireview in memory of Daniel I. Arnon, pioneer in photosynthesis research, concerns properties of the first and still only known alternative photophosphorylation system, with respect to the primary phosphorylated end product formed. The alternative to adenosine triphosphate (ATP), inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), was produced in light, in chromatophores from the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum, when no adenosine diphosphate (ADP) had been added to the reaction mixture (Baltscheffsky H et al. (1966) Science 153: 1120-1122). This production of PPi and its capability to drive energy requiring reactions depend on the activity of a membrane bound inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPase) (Baltscheffsky M et al. (1966) Brookhaven Symposia in Biology, No. 19, pp 246-253); (Baltscheffsky M (1967) Nature 216: 241-243), which pumps protons (Moyle J et al. (1972) FEBS Lett 23: 233-236). Both enzyme and substrate in the PPase (PPi synthase) are much less complex than in the case of the corresponding adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase, ATP synthase). Whereas an artificially induced proton gradient alone can drive the synthesis of PPi, both a proton gradient and a membrane potential are required for obtaining ATP. The photobacterial, integrally membrane bound PPi synthase shows immunological cross reaction with membrane bound PPases from plant vacuoles (Nore BF et al. (1991) Biochem Biophys Res Commun 181: 962-967). With antibodies against the purified PPi synthase clones of its gene have been obtained and are currently being sequenced. Further structural information about the PPi synthase may serve to elucidate also fundamental mechanisms of electron transport coupled phosphorylation. The existence of the PPi synthase is in line with the assumption that PPi may have preceded ATP as energy carrier between energy yielding and energy requiring reactions.
