Accumulation of calcium in the mitochondria of rat liver parenchymal cells at 16 and 24 hours after poisoning with carbon tetrachloride is associated with an increase in amount of liver inorganic phosphate, the persistence of mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase activity, and the formation of electron-opaque intramitochondrial masses in cells with increased calcium contents. These masses, which form within the mitochondrial matrix adjacent to internal mitochondrial membranes, resemble those observed in isolated mitochondria which accumulate calcium and inorganic phosphate; are present in a locus similar to that of electron opacities which result from electron-histochemical determination of mitochondrial ATPase activity; and differ in both appearance and position from matrix granules of normal mitochondria. After poisoning, normal matrix granules disappear from mitochondria prior to their accumulation of calcium. As calcium-associated electron-opaque intramitochondrial masses increase in size, mitochondria degenerate in appearance. At the same time, cytoplasmic membrane systems of mid-zonal and centrilobular cells are disrupted by degranulation of the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the formation of labyrinthine tubular aggregates. The increase in amount of inorganic phosphate in rat liver following poisoning is balanced by a decreased amount of phosphoprotein. These chemical events do not appear to be related, however, as the inorganic phosphate accumulated is derived from serum inorganic phosphate.

An ecto-adenosine triphosphatase (E.C. 3.6.1.4 ATP-phosphohydrolase) is shown to be localized on the outer surface of varieties of cell membrane. The enzyme is different from the ATPase involved in biological energy transduction and ion transport mechanism. The characteristic of the enzyme lies in having a very broad substrate specificity and is inhibited by EDTA and higher concentration of ATP. The enzyme is dependent on bivalent metal ions, Mg++ or Ca++ for its optimum activity. The enzyme is highly sensitive to SH-reagents but insensitive to inhibitors of mitochondrial ATPase or Na+- K+- ATPase. The possible functions of the enzyme in being oriented outside the cell membrane is discussed.

1. The mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) of Acanthamoeba castellanii is Mg2+-requiring (optimum cation: ATP ratio of 1.5) and has two pH optima of activity (at pH 6.6 and 8.1). 2. ATPase activity of submitochondrial particles is effectively inhibited by twelve different inhibitors of energy conservation suggesting similarities in inhibitor-binding sites to other previously characterized complexes. 3. Gel filtration by passage through Sephadex G-50 increases ATPase activity of submitochondrial particles between 1.5 and 3.5 fold indicating the presence of a low molecular weight inhibitor protein. 4. After removal of the inhibitor protein, sensitivity to inhibitors of energy conservation decreases by between 1.5 and 14 fold. Crude F1-inhibitor preparations from A. castellanii, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Tetrahymena pyriformis and bovine heart also inhibit ATPase activity. 5. Large variations in ATPase activity, F1-inhibitor protein activity, and amounts of immunologically-determined ATPase protein were observed during exponential growth, and the correlation between changes in these measurements is discussed. 6. The results are also discussed highlighting the similarities between the mitochondrial ATPase of A. castellanii and other mitochondrial ATPases.

The principle organelle marker enzymes and various adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activities were studied in human skeletal muscle. The reproducibility of each assay was established under optimal and linear assay conditions. Whole homogenates of normal human quadriceps muscle were fractionated by centrifugation on a continuous sucrose density gradient. Gradient fractions were assayed for organelle marker enzymes and frequency-density histograms were constructed for each enzyme. Good resolution of the principal organelles was obtained. Adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) was assayed under conditions of maximal stimulation by Ca2+, or Mg2+ or Na2+, K+ + Mg2+. The distribution of these activities was compared with those of the organelle marker enzymes. Both Ca2+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase were distributed to both the mitochondrial and myofibrillar fractions but could be distinguished by the inhibition of mitochondrial ATPase with sodium azide. The distribution of Na+, K+-activated, Mg2+-dependent ATPase (Na+, K+ ATPase) activity suggested a sarcolemmal localization. The results of electron microscopy of gradient fractions were consistent with the organelle content of the fractions as determined by enzymic analyses. These studies provide reference information for the subsequent investigation of organelle pathology of human muscle disorders.

The reaction of Trypanosoma cruzi Mg2+-stimulated adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase, coupling factor 1, or F1) with phenylglyoxal, a dicarbonylic compound, resulted in a rapid loss of its enzymatic activity. The inactivation showed pseudo-first-order kinetics with both membrane-bound and soluble F1-ATPase, the rate of the enzyme inactivation being faster in bicarbonate buffer (pH 7.9) than in borate buffer (pH 8.0). The log (pseudo-first-order rate constant) vs. log(phenylglyoxal concentration) plots obtained with the membrane-bound and soluble F1-ATPase in bicarbonate buffer, and also with F1 in borate buffer, had slopes of near 1.0 while the plot for the membrane-bound ATPase in borate buffer had a slope of 1.6. Second-order rate constants (in mM-1 X min-1) were 55 (for both ATPase preparations in bicarbonate buffer) and 34 (for the membrane-bound ATPase in borate buffer). When the reaction was performed in the presence of ATP, the rate of inactivation was significantly decreased. It is concluded that, as in the mammalian F1-ATPase, arginyl residues play an essential role in T. cruzi mitochondrial ATPase, probably at the hydrolytic site.

A yeast nuclear pet mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae lacking any detectable mitochondrial F1-ATPase activity was genetically complemented upon transformation with a pool of wild type genomic DNA fragments carried in the yeast Escherchia coli shuttle vector YEp 13. Plasmid-dependent complementation restored both growth of the pet mutant on a nonfermentable carbon source as well as functional mitochondrial ATPase activity. Characterization of the complementing plasmid by plasmid deletion analysis indicated that the complementing gene was contained on adjoining BamH1 fragments with a combined length of 3.05 kilobases. Gel analysis of the product of this DNA by in vitro translation in a rabbit reticulocyte lysate programmed with yeast mRNA hybrid selected by the plasmid revealed a product which could be immunoprecipitated by antisera against the beta subunit of the yeast mitochondrial ATPase complex. A comparison of the protein sequence derived from partial DNA sequence analysis indicated that the beta subunit of the yeast mitochondrial ATPase complex exhibits greater than 70% conservation of protein sequence when compared to the same subunit from the ATPase of E. coli, beef heart, and chloroplast. The gene coding the beta subunit (subunit 2) of yeast mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase is designated ATP2. The utilization of cloned nuclear structural genes of mitochondrial proteins for the analysis of the post-translational targeting and import events in organelle assembly is discussed.

We have found that when the ATP hydrolysis activity of beef heart mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase (F1) is eliminated by either cold treatment or chemical modification, the enzyme attains the ability to catalyze the Pi in equilibrium ATP exchange reaction. The ATP hydrolysis activity of isolated F1 was lost upon chemical modification by phenyglyoxal, butanedione, or 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzene-2-oxa-1,3-diazole. The F1 thus chemically modified was able to catalyze an ADP-dependent Pi in equilibrium ATP exchange reaction. In addition F1 that had been cold-treated to eliminate ATP hydrolysis activity, also catalyzed the Pi in equilibrium ATP exchange reaction. The Pi in equilibrium ATP exchange catalyzed by modified F1 was shown to be totally inhibited by the F1-specific antibiotic efrapeptin. We have previously shown that isolated beef heart mitochondrial ATPase will catalyze the formation of a transition state analog of the ATP synthesis reaction (Bossard, M. J., Vik, T. A., and Schuster, S. M. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 5342-5346). While the F1-catalyzed ATP hydrolysis activity was lost rapidly upon chemical modification or cold treatment, the ability of the enzyme to produce Pi . adenosine 5'-diphosphate (chromium(III) salt) from phosphate and monodentate adenosine 5'-diphosphate (chromium(III) salt) was unimpaired. The implications of these data with regard to the mechanism of ATP synthesis are discussed.

Mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) of the ciliate protozoon Tetrahymena pyriformis ST is completely inhibited by antiserum prepared against F1-ATPase purified from Schizosaccharomyces pombe, and by naturally occurring inhibitor proteins from this yeast and from bovine heart mitochondria. An ATPase inhibitor protein is also present in extracts of T. pyriformis. Mitochondrial ATPase of T. pyriformis is only partially inhibited by the F0-ATPase inhibitors N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, oligomycin, leucinostatin, triethyltin sulphate and venturicidin, and (at high titres) by the F1-ATPase inhibitors Dio-9, efrapeptin, 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan and spegazzinine. Aurovertin, citreoviridin and quercetin were not inhibitory. Resistance to inhibitors distinguishes this mitochondrial ATPase from all those previously examined.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether myocardial adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activities were reduced in pigs with naturally occurring hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The selection of hearts for the HCM and the normal control groups depended on histological examination. Specific ATPase activity and 5'-nucleotidase activity were measured in left ventricular myocardium obtained from HCM (n = 7) and normal control (n = 7) animals. The histological features of HCM included marked disorientation of muscle cells, thickening of the intramural coronary arterial wall with a narrowed lumen, endocardial fibrosis and myocardial fibrosis. The HCM group showed significant increases in both heart weight (32%) and heart weight to body weight ratio (46%). The total ATPase activity in crude homogenates from the HCM group was significantly decreased by 16%. Azide-sensitive ATPase (mitochondrial ATPase) activity, ouabain-sensitive ATPase (Na+, K+-ATPase) activity, basal Mg(2+)-ATPase activity and Ca(2+)-ATPase activity were all significantly decreased by 18%, 30%, 20% and 50%, respectively. In contrast, no significant decrease was found in the mean values for 5'-nucleotidase activity. These results suggest that myocardial ATPase activities are suppressed in pigs with naturally occurring HCM.

A T-to-C transition at nucleotide (nt) 9176 in the mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase 6 (ATPase 6) gene was detected in 2 brothers with a neurological disorder resembling Leigh syndrome. The mutation was also present in the 2 other siblings and in the mother, who were asymptomatic. In the more severely affected boy (the proband), the mutation was homoplasmic in muscle, leucocytes, and fibroblasts. In leucocytes from his affected brother, 98% of mtDNA was mutant. Heteroplasmy of varying degrees was seen in leucocytes from the mother and the 2 unaffected siblings. The mutation changes a highly conserved leucine residue near the carboxyl terminus of the mitochondrial ATPase 6 subunit to proline. It could not be detected in 168 control subjects. Studies of ATP synthesis and hydrolysis in fibroblasts from the proband were normal.
