(2) The protein inhibits both the soluble ATPase and the particle-bound ATPase from rat liver mitochondria. It also inhibits ATPase activities of soluble F1, and inhibitor-depleted submitochondrial particles derived from bovine heart mitochondria.
(3) On particle-bound ATPase the inhibitor has its maximal effect if incubated in the presence of Mg2+. ATP at slightly acidic pH.
(4) The inhibitor has a minimal effect on Pi-ATP exchange activity in sonicated submitochondrial particles. However, unexpectedly the inhibitor greatly stimulates Pi-ATP exchange activity in whole mitochondria while the low ATPase activity of the mitochondria is not affected. The possible mechanism of action of the inhibitor on intact mitochondria is offered. 相似文献
The first type of liposome was reconstituted from a solution of purified cytochrome oxidase, mitochondrial phospholipids and cytochrome c, the latter being enclosed inside liposomes. Cytochrome c bound to the outer surface of the liposome membrane was removed by washing with NaCl. Such liposomes catalyzed oxidation of ascorbate by oxygen in the presence of phenazine methosulfate or N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine. The oxidation was found to support the PCB− uptake by liposomes. The PCB− response was prevented and reversed by cyanide, protonophorous uncouplers and external cytochrome c.
Liposomes of the second type were prepared from a solution of mitochondrial phospholipids, coupling factors F1and Fc, and the hydrophobic proteins of the oligomycin-sensitive ATPase. These liposomes catalyzed ATP hydrolysis coupled with the PCB− uptake. The latter effect was prevented and reversed by oligomycin and uncouplers.
The conclusion is made that membrane potential can be independently formed by enzymic reactions of two different kinds: (1) redox (e.g. cytochrome c oxidase) and (2) hydrolytic (ATPase). 相似文献
2. The amounts of cytochromes c1 and aa3 are similar in the mutant and wild type. Cytochrome b-566 could not be detected in low-temperature spectra after reduction with various substrates or dithionite. A b-558 is, however, present.
3. The b-cytochromes in the mutant are not reduced by NADH or succinate during the steady state even after addition of ubiquinone-1. QH2-3: cytochrome c reductase activity is very low and succinate oxidation is highly stimulated by phenazine methosulphate.
4. Antimycin does not bind to either oxidized or reduced mitochondrial particles of the mutant.
5. In contrast to the b-cytochromes of the wild type, b-558 in the mutant reacts with CO.
6. Cytochromes aa3, c and c1 are partly reduced in aerated submitochondrial particles isolated from the mutant and the EPR signal of Cu (II), measured at 35°K, is detectable only after the addition of ferricyanide. In the mutant, a signal with a trough at g = 2.01 is found, in addition to the signal at g = 1.98 found in the wild type.
7. The ATPase activity of particles isolated from the mutant is much lower than in the wild type but is still inhibited by oligomycin. 相似文献
Inhibition by rotenone, antimycin A and cyanide established the classical electron transport chain as the major pathway of respiration with glutamate and succinate as substrates. Approximately 20% of glutamate-supported respiration was insensitive to inhibitors and may proceed by the cytochrome P-450 linked pathway of electron transport. Approximately 50% of ascorbate-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine supported respiration was insensitive to 10−3 M cyanide and must utilize an undefined by-pass of cytochrome oxidase. A rotenone- and antimycin-insensitive, exterior pathway for NADH oxidation was demonstrated which could be artificially linked by exogenous cytochrome c to the cytochrome oxidase region of the classical electron transport system. Glycerol 3-phosphate also supported oxidative phosphorylation yielding ADP/O ratios of 2.
Respiration of placental mitochondria was stimulated by 2,4- dinitrophenol and gramicidin. With succinate, dinitrophenol-stimulated respiration exceeded that obtain-red in the presence of ADP. Oligomycin and atractyloside prevented the stimulation of respiration by ADP. Thus, respiration appeared coupled through normal mechanisms to ATP formation and ion transport. A preferential coupling of respiration to the energy-utilizing processes of steroid hormone biosynthesis may exist. 相似文献
1. 1. Tightly bound ATP and ADP, found on the isolated mitochondrial ATPase, exchange only slowly at pH 8, but the exchange is increased as the pH is reduced. At pH 5.5, more than 60% of the bound nucleotide exchanges within 2.5 min.
2. 2. Preincubation of the isolated ATPase with ADP leads to about 50% inhibition of ATP hydrolysis when the enzyme is subsequently assayed in the absence of free ADP. This effect, which is reversed by preincubation with ATP, is absent on the membrane-bound ATPase. This inhibition seems to involve the replacement of tightly bound ATP by ADP.
3. 3. Using these two findings, the binding specificity of the tight nucleotide binding sites was determined. iso-Guanosine, 2′-deoxyadenosine and formycin nucleotides displaced ATP from the tight binding sites, while all other nucleotides tested did not. The specificities of the tight sites of the isolated and membrane-bound ATPase were similar, and higher than that of the hydrolytic site.
4. 4. The nucleotide specificities of ‘coupled processes’ nucleoside triphosphate-driven reversal of electron transfer, nucleoside triphosphate-32Pi exchange and phosphorylation were higher than that of the hydrolytic site of the ATPase and similar to that of the tight nucleotide binding sites.
5. 5. The different nucleotide specificities of uncoupled ATP hydrolysis and coupled processes can be explained even if both processes involve a single common site on the ATPase molecule. This model requires that energy can be ‘coupled’ only when it is released/utilised in the nucleotide binding steps of the mechanism.
6. 6. Adenosine β,γ-imidotriphosphate (AMP-PNP) is not a simple reversible inhibitor of the ATPase, since incubation requires preincubation and is not reversed when the compound is diluted out, or by addition of ATP. This compound inhibits the isolated and membrane-bound ATPase equally well. Its guanosine analogue does not act in this way.
7. 7. In submitochondrial particles, ADP inhibited uncoupled hydrolysis of ATP much more effectively than coupled hydrolysis, the latter being measured both directly (from ATP hydrolysis in the absence of uncoupler) or indirectly, by monitoring ATP-driven reduction of NAD+ by succinate.
8. 8. The effects of ADP and AMP-PNP were interpreted as providing evidence for two of the intermediates in the proposed scheme for coupled triphosphate hydrolysis.
1. 1. In an assay medium containing Cl− at an alkaline pH, above 7.1, triethyltin inhibited both the ADP stimulated rate of oxygen uptake and the dinitrophenol-induced ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) but had no effect on the dinitrophenol-stimulated rate of oxygen uptake. If the pH was reduced to below 6.9 the pattern of inhibition changed and both the ADP and dinitrophenol-stimulated rates of oxygen uptake were inhibited by triethyltin.
2. 2. In the absence of Cl− in the medium triethyltin inhibited both the ADP-stimulated rate of oxygen uptake and dinitrophenol-induced ATPase and had no effect on the dinitrophenol-stimulated rate of oxygen uptake at either pH 7.4 or 6.6.
3. 3. In either the presence or absence of Cl− the ability of triethyltin to inhibit ATP synthesis appears to markedly decrease as the pH is lowered from 7.4 to 6.6.
4. 4. The significance of these observations is discussed in relation to the operation of a Cl−/OH− antiport in the coupling membrane.

2. In contrast to the wild type, inhibition of electron transport in the mutant has a much higher antimycin titre than effects on cytochromes b (viz., aerobic steadystate reduction; reduction in the presence of substrate, cyanide and oxygen; the ‘red shift’ and lowering of E′0 of cytochrome b-562). Moreover, the titration curve of electron transport is hyperbolic whereas the curves for the reduction are sigmoidal. The conclusion is, that in both mutant and wild type, the actions of antimycin on electron transport and cytochromes b are separable.
3. The red shift in the mutant is more extensive than in the wild type.
4. Cytochrome b-558 and cytochrome b-566 (that absorbs in mutant and wild type at 564.5 nm) do not respond simultaneously to addition of antimycin, indicating that they are two separate cytochromes.
5. The difference between the effect of antimycin on electron transport and cytochromes b reduction is also found in intact cells of the mutant.
6. A model is suggested for the wild-type respiratory chain in which (i) the cytochromes b lie, in an uncoupled system, out of the main electron-transfer chain, (ii) antimycin induces a conformation change in QH2-cytochrome c reductase resulting in effects on cytochrome b and inhibition of electron transport, (iii) a second antimycinbinding site with low affinity to the antibiotic is present, capable of inhibiting electron transport. 相似文献
The NAD+ and NADH concentrations at equilibrium in the light-dependent reaction were determined and the oxidation-reduction potential of this couple calculated. From this value it was calculated that under these experimental conditions the energy requirement to form NADH from the succinate/fumarate couple at Eh = o V was 9.4 kcal.
Particles of R. viridis contained an active transhydrogenase, driven by either light or ATP, that was sensitive to uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation; the light-driven reaction was insensitive to oligomycin and was inhibited by antimycin A and 2-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinone-N-oxide.
R. viridis did not grow aerobically but particles contained NADH oxidase activity that was cyanide sensitive. There was no spectroscopic evidence for cytochromes of the b-type in reduced-minus-oxidised spectra of particles or in pyridine haemochrome spectra of whole cells. 相似文献
2. The inhibitory action of respiratory-chain inhibitors on the ATPase activity, which is independent of the actual inhibitor used, is greatly delayed or prevented by the presence of uncoupler, and, in the case of rotenone, can be reversed completely by the subsequent addition of succinate (in the absence of uncoupler). These results can be explained on the basis of the proposal previously made by others that coupled electron transfer causes a structural change in the ATPase complex that results in a decreased affinity of the ATPase inhibitor for the mitochondrial ATPase.
3. Inorganic phosphate specifically stimulates the ATPase activity at high uncoupler concentrations (> 0.2 μM), but has no effect at low concentrations. The stimulation is prevented or abolished by sufficiently high concentrations of aurovertin.
4. Aurovertin prevents the inhibition of the uncoupler-induced ATPase by high uncoupler concentrations.
5. It is proposed that the steady-state concentration of endogenous Pi may be an important regulator of the turnover of the ATPase in intact mitochondria and that the inhibition of ATPase activity by high concentrations of uncoupler is at least partially mediated via changes in the concentration of endogenous Pi. 相似文献
2. The ATPase activity of Azotobacter particles and of the soluble factor involved in oxidative phosphorylation is stimulated 10–20-fold by incubation with trypsin. The trypsin-induced ATPase is Mg2+ or Ca2+ dependent, Mg2+ being the more effective cation. The ATPase is stimulated somewhat by 4,5,6,7-tetrachloro-2-trifluoromethylbenzimidazole, desaspidin and carbonyl cyandie m-chlorophenylhydrazone, and inhibited by atebrin and Dio-9.
3. In previous work ADP was shown to stimulate the oxidation of NADH but not of the Site-II substrates malate, lactate or succinate. Stimulation by ADP of oxidation of malate has now been observed by inhibiting electron transport by 2-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide or by increasing the electron flow by adding lactate. The stimulation is, therefore, not confined to phosphorylation Site I. 相似文献
2. On treatment of the preparation with either nonionic (Triton X-100 or Tween 80) or cationic (Cetavlon) detergents, the sigmoidal inhibition curve is retained. However, the preparation preincubated with Tween 80 is one half as sensitive to antimycin as the untreated one despite the fact that the activity of the preparation is not affected by this detergent.
3. In the presence of the anionic detergents, much higher amounts of sulfhydryl groups of the preparation are titratable by 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) than those of the control preparation. Addition of antimycin is without effect.
4. Preincubation of the preparation with Cetavlon results in only a small increase in the amount of sulfhydryl groups, whereas the nonionic detergents are without effect on the sulfhydryl content of the preparation.
5. The results indicate that the anionic detergents at the concentration transforming the antimycin-inhibition curve from sigmoidal towards linear result in a rapid increase of the sulfhydryl content of the heart-muscle preparation. 相似文献
2. About one-third of the F1 and the oligomycin-sensitivity conferring protein (OSCP) are lost during preparation of submitochondrial particles prepared at high pH (A particles). None is lost from particles treated with trypsin (T particles).
3. After further treatment with alkali of urea-treated particles, binding of F1 requires the addition of OSCP. Maximum binding is reached when both OSCP and Fc2 are added. The concentration of F1-binding sites in the presence of both OSCP and Fc2 is about the same as that in TU particles.
4. After further extraction with silicotungstate of urea- and alkali-treated particles, OSCP no longer induces binding of F1, unless Fc2 is also present. Fc2 induces binding in the absence of OSCP but with a lower binding constant and, in contrast to results under all the other conditions studied in this paper, the ATPase activity is oligomycin insensitive.
5. It is tentatively concluded that OSCP is the binding site for F1 and Fc2 is the binding site for OSCP. 相似文献
2. A trypsin-sensitive inhibitory factor of mitochondrial ATPase with properties similar to that of beef heart has been extracted and purified from glycerolgrown and glucose-grown S. pombe wild type, from the nuclear pleiotropic respiratory-deficient mutant S. pombe M126 and from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
3. ATPase activation by heat is more pronounced in submitochondrial particles isolated from glycerol-grown than from glucose-grown S. pombe. An activation of lower extent is observed in rat liver mitochondrial particles but is barely detectable in the “petite-positive” yeast: S. cerevisiae. No activation but inhibition by heat is observed in the pleitotropic respiratory-deficient nuclear mutant S. pombe M126.
4. The inhibition of S. pombe ATPase activity by low concentrations of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide dissapears at inhibitor concentrations above 25 μM. In Triton-extract of submitochondrial particles net stimulation of ATPase activity is observed at 100 μM dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The pattern of stimulation of ATPase activity by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide in different genetic and physiological conditions parallels that produced by heat and trypsin. A similar mode of action is therefore proposed for the three agents: dissociation or inactivation of an ATPase inhibitory factor.
5. We conclude that “petite-positive” and “petite-negative” yeasts contain an ATPase inhibitor factor with properties similar to those of the bovine mitochondrial ATPase inhibitor. The expression of the ATPase inhibitor, measured by ATPase activation by heat, trypsin or high concentrations of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, is sensitive to alterations of the hydrophobic membrane environment and dependent on both physiological state and genetic conditions of the yeast cells. 相似文献
