(1) Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) markedly inhibited the Vmax of multisite ATPase activity in Escherichia coli F1-ATPase at concentrations greater than 30% (v/v). Vmax/KM was reduced by 2 orders of magnitude in 40% (v/v) DMSO at pH 7.5, primarily due to reduction of Vmax. The inhibition was rapidly reversed on dilution into aqueous buffer. (2) KdATP at the first, high-affinity catalytic site was increased 1500-fold from 2.3 x 10(-10) to 3.4 x 10(-7) M in 40% DMSO at pH 7.5, whereas KdADP was increased 3.2-fold from 8.8 to 28 microM. This suggests that the high-affinity catalytic site presents a hydrophobic environment for ATP binding in native enzyme, that there is a significant difference between the conformation for ADP binding as opposed to ATP binding, and that the ADP-binding conformation is more hydrophilic. (3) Rate constants for hydrolysis and resynthesis of bound ATP in unisite catalysis were slowed approximately 10-fold by 40% DMSO; however, the equilibrium between bound Pi/bound ATP was little changed. The reduction in catalysis rates may well be related to the large increase in KdATP (less constrained site). (4) Significant Pi binding to E. coli F1 could not be detected either in 40% DMSO or in aqueous buffer using a centrifuge column procedure. (5) We infer, on the basis of the measured constants KaATP, K2 (hydrolysis/resynthesis of ATP), k+3 (Pi release), and KdADP and from estimates of k-3 (Pi binding) that delta G for ATP hydrolysis in 40% DMSO-containing pH 7.5 buffer is between -9.2 and -16.8 kJ/mol. 相似文献

(1) Incubation of the beef heart mitochondrial ATPase, F1 with Mg-ATP was required for the binding of the natural inhibitor, IF1, to F1 to form the inactive F1-IF1 complex. When F1 was incubated in the presence of [14C]ATP and MgCl2, about 2 mol 14C-labeled adenine nucleotides were found to bind per mol of F1; the bound 14C-labeled nucleotides consisted of [14C]ADP arising from [14C]ATP hydrolysis and [14C]ATP. The 14C- labeled nucleotide binding was not prevented by IF1. These data are in agreement with the idea that the formation of the F1-IF1 complex requires an appropriate conformation of F1. (2) The 14C-labeled adenine nucleotides bound to F1 following preincubation of F1 with Mg-[14C] ATP could be exchanged with added [3H]ADP or [3H]ATP. No exchange occurred between added [3H]ADP or [3H]ATP and the 14 C-labeled adenine nucleotides bound to the F1-IF1 complex. These data suggest that the conformation of F1 in the isolated F1-IF1 complex is further modified in such a way that the bound 14C-labeled nucleotides are no longer available for exchange. (3) 32Pi was able to bind to isolated F1 with a stoichiometry of about 1 mol of Pi per mol of F1 (Penefsky, H.S. (1977) J. Biol. Chem. 252, 2891-2899). There was no binding of 32Pi to the F1-IF1 complex. Thus, not only the nucleotides sites, but also the Pi site, are masked from interaction with external ligands in the isolated F1-IF1 complex. 相似文献

The kinetical characteristics of ATP hydrolysis by mitochondrial F1-ATPase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) have been studied under conditions where only a single catalytic site per enzyme molecule bound ATP. Four major features were observed, that is, fast ATP binding to the enzyme, slow product release from the enzyme, an equilibrium close to unity between ATP and products on the enzyme, and promotion of ATP hydrolysis on the second addition of a large excess of ATP (cold chase). These are essentially the same as the kinetical characteristics observed for beef heart mitochondrial F1-ATPase, which were called as unisite catalysis by Grubmeyer et al. (Grubmeyer, C. et al. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 12092-12100), although the release of a hydrolysis product, Pi, from the yeast enzyme appeared to occur significantly faster than that from the beef enzyme, which resulted in a decreased extent of cold chase promotion of ATP hydrolysis of the yeast enzyme. The yeast F1-ATPase showed unisite catalysis even in the absence of Pi in the reaction mixtures, while it was reported for the beef F1-ATPase that the presence of Pi in the reaction mixture was essential for unisite catalysis (Penefsky, H.S. & Grubmeyer, C. (1984) in H+-ATPase (ATP Synthase) (Papa, S. et al., eds.) pp. 195-204, The ICSU Press). Another difference in the Pi effect on the kinetics was that ATP hydrolysis was initiated without a lag time in the absence of Pi in the case of the yeast enzyme when a 1,000-fold molar excess of ATP per enzyme molecular was mixed with the enzyme.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

4-Azido-2-nitrophenyl phosphate (ANPP) was synthesized and characterized. ANPP, unlabeled or labeled by 32P, was used as a photoreactive analogue of Pi to study the Pi binding site(s) in isolated F1-ATPase and inside-out particles from beef heart mitochondria. In the dark, the phosphate bond of ANPP was cleaved by alkaline phosphatase but not by mitochondrial F1-ATPase. ANPP bound reversibly to the phosphate site of F1-ATPase as shown by competitive inhibition of binding of Pi to F1-ATPase by ANPP in the dark; the Ki value was 60 microM. Upon photoirradiation with visible light, [32P]ANPP bound covalently to F1-ATPase and inactivated the enzyme. Part of the added ANPP was, however, photolyzed with release of Pi. By extrapolation, it could be calculated that complete inactivatin of F1-ATPase was accompanied by incorporation of 32P radioactivity corresponding to 1 mol of [32P]ANPP per mol of F1-ATPase. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of [32P]-ANPP-labeled F1-ATPase revealed only one radioactive peptide with a Mr of 50000. This peptide was characterized as the beta subunit of F1-ATPase by specific labeling with [14C]dicyclohexylcarbodiimide [Pougeois, R., Satre, M., & Vignais, P. V. (1979) Biochemistry 18, 1408-1413]. Photoirradiation of inside-out submitochondrial particles with [32P]ANPP resulted in the labeling of two peptides with a Mr of 50000 and 30000-32000; both labelings were significantly decreased by incubation of the particles with Pi prior to photoirradiation. The Mr 50000 peptide is most probably the beta subunit of F1-ATPase; the other peptide might be the Pi carrier protein. 相似文献

A sensitive and easy-to-perform dipstick immunoassay to detect Escherichia coli O157:H7 in retail ground beef was developed by using a sandwich-type assay (with a polyclonal antibody to E. coli O157 as the capture antibody and a monoclonal antibody to E. coli O157:H7 as the detection antibody) on a hydrophobic polyvinylidine difluoride-based membrane. E. coli O157:H7 in ground beef could be detected within 16 h, including incubation for 12 h in enrichment broth and the immunoassay, which takes 4 h. Pure culture cell suspensions of 10(5) or 10(6) E. coli O157:H7 organisms per ml produced intense color reactions in the immunoassay, whereas faint but detectable reactions occurred with 10(3) CFU/ml. The sensitivity of the combined enrichment-immunoassay procedure as determined by using ground beef inoculated with E. coli O157:H7 was 0.1 to 1.3 cells per g, with a false-positive rate of 2.0%. A survey of retail ground beef using this procedure revealed that 1 of 76 samples was contaminated by E. coli O157:H7. 相似文献

Reaction mechanism of the membrane-bound ATPase of submitochondrial particles from beef heart 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
H S Penefsky 《The Journal of biological chemistry》1985,260(25):13728-13734
Submitochondrial particles from beef heart, washed with dilute solutions of KCl so as to activate the latent, membrane-bound ATPase, F1, may be used to study single site catalysis by the enzyme. [gamma-32P]ATP, incubated with a molar excess of catalytic sites, a condition which favors binding of substrate in only a single catalytic site on the enzyme, is hydrolyzed via a four-step reaction mechanism. The mechanism includes binding in a high affinity catalytic site, Ka = 10(12)M-1, a hydrolytic step for which the equilibrium constant is near unity, and two product release steps in which Pi dissociates from catalytic sites about 10 times more rapidly than ADP. Catalysis by the membrane-bound ATPase also is characterized by a 10(6)-fold acceleration in the rate of net hydrolysis of [gamma-32P]ATP, bound in the high affinity catalytic site, that occurs when substrate is made available to additional catalytic sites on the enzyme. These aspects of the reaction mechanism of the ATPase of submitochondrial particles closely parallel the reaction mechanism determined for solubilized, homogeneous F1 (Grubmeyer, C., Cross, R. L., and Penefsky, H. S. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 12092-12100). The finding that removal of the enzyme from the membrane does not significantly alter the properties of single site catalysis lends support to models of ATP synthesis in oxidative phosphorylation, catalyzed by membrane-bound F1, that have been based on the study of the soluble enzyme. 相似文献

Thermodynamic properties of 12 different F1-ATPase enzymes were analyzed in order to gain insights into the catalytic mechanism and the nature of energy coupling to delta mu H+. The enzymes were normal soluble Escherichia coli F1, a group of nine beta-subunit mutant soluble E. coli F1 enzymes (G142S, K155Q, K155E, E181Q, E192Q, M209I, D242N, D242V, R246C), and both soluble and membrane-bound bovine heart mitochondrial F1. Unisite activity was studied by use of Gibbs free energy diagrams, difference energy diagrams, and derivation of linear free energy relationships. This allowed construction of binding energy diagrams for both the unisite ATP hydrolysis and ATP synthesis reaction pathways, which were in agreement. The binding energy diagrams showed that the step of Pi binding is a major energy-requiring step in ATP synthesis, as is the step of ATP release. It is suggested that there are two major catalytic enzyme conformations, and ATP- and an ADP-binding conformation. The effects of the mutations on the rate-limiting steps of multisite as compared to unisite activity were correlated, suggesting a direct link between the rate-limiting steps of the two types of activity. Multisite activity was analyzed by Arrhenius plots and by study of relative promotion from unisite to multisite rate. Changes in binding energy due to mutation were seen to have direct effects on multisite catalysis. From all the data, a model is derived to describe the mechanism of ATP synthesis. ATP hydrolysis, and energy coupling to delta mu H+ in F1F0-ATPases. 相似文献

Using manual rapid-mixing procedures in which small, equal volumes of Escherichia coli F1-ATPase and [gamma-32P]ATP were combined at final concentrations of 2 and 0.2 microM, respectively (i.e., unisite catalysis conditions), it was shown that greater than or equal to 66% of the 32P became bound to the enzyme, with the ratio of bound ATP/bound Pi equal to 0.4 and the rate of dissociation of bound [32P]Pi equal to 3.5 x 10(-3) s-1, similar to previously published values. Azide is known to inhibit cooperative but not unisite catalysis in F1-ATPase [Noumi, T., Maeda, M., & Futai, M. (1987) FEBS Lett. 213, 381-384]. In the presence of 1 mM sodium azide, 99% of the 32P became bound to the enzyme, with the ratio of bound ATP/bound Pi being 0.57. These experiments demonstrated that when conditions are used which minimize cooperative catalysis, most or all of the F1 molecules bind substoichiometric ATP tightly, hydrolyze it with retention of bound ATP and Pi, and release the products slowly. The data justify the validity of previously published rate constants for unisite catalysis. Unisite catalysis in E. coli F1-ATPase was studied at varied pH from 5.5 to 9.5 using buffers devoid of phosphate. Rate constants for ATP binding/release, ATP hydrolysis/resynthesis, Pi release, and ADP binding/release were measured; the Pi binding rate constant was inferred from the delta G for ATP hydrolysis. ATP binding was pH-independent; ATP release accelerated at higher pH. The highest KaATP (4.4 x 10(9) M-1) was seen at physiological pH 7.5.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Bicarbonate, an activating anion of ATP hydrolysis, inhibited ATP synthesis coupled to succinate oxidation in beef heart submitochondrial particles but diminished the lag time and increased the steady-state velocity of the (32)Pi-ATP exchange reaction. The latter effects exclude the possibility that bicarbonate is inducing an intrinsic uncoupling between ATP hydrolysis and proton translocation at the level of F(1)F(o) ATPase. The inhibition of ATP synthesis was competitive with respect to ADP at low fixed [Pi], mixed at high [Pi] and non-competitive towards Pi at any fixed [ADP]. From these results we can conclude that (i) bicarbonate does not bind to a Pi site in the mitochondrial F(1); (ii) it competes with the binding of ADP to a low-affinity site, likely the low-affinity non-catalytic nucleotide binding site. It is postulated that bicarbonate stimulates ATP hydrolysis and inhibits ATP synthesis by modulating the relative affinities of the catalytic site for ATP and ADP. 相似文献

The rate of trypsin cleavage of the epsilon subunit of Escherichia coli F1 (ECF1) has been found to be ligand-dependent, as measured indirectly by the activation of the enzyme that occurs on protease digestion, or when followed directly by monitoring the cleavage of this subunit using monoclonal antibodies. The cleavage of the epsilon subunit was fast in the presence of ADP alone, ADP + MG2+, ATP + EDTA, or AMP-PNP, but slow when Pi was added along with ADP + Mg2+ or when ATP + Mg2+ was added to generate ADP + Pi (+Mg2+) in the catalytic site(s). The half-maximal concentration of Pi required in the presence of ADP + Mg2+ to protect the epsilon subunit from cleavage by trypsin was 50 microM, which is in the range measured for the high-affinity binding of Pi to F1. The ligand-dependent conformational changes in the epsilon subunit were also examined in cross-linking experiments using the water-soluble carbodiimide 1-ethyl-3-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]carbodiimide (EDC). In the presence of ATP + Mg2+ or ADP + Mg2+ + Pi, the epsilon subunit cross-linked to beta in high yield. With ATP + EDTA or ADP + Mg2+ (no Pi), the yield of the beta-epsilon cross-linked product was much reduced. We conclude that the epsilon subunit undergoes a conformational change dependent on the presence of Pi. It has been found previously that binding of the epsilon subunit to ECF1 inhibits ATPase activity by decreasing the off rate of Pi [Dunn, S. D., Zadorozny, V. D., Tozer, R. G., & Orr, L. E. (1987) Biochemistry 26, 4488-4493]. This reciprocal relationship between Pi binding and epsilon-subunit conformation has important implications for energy transduction by the E. coli ATP synthase. 相似文献

Characterization of the catalytic and noncatalytic ADP binding sites of the F1-ATPase from the thermophilic bacterium, PS3 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Two classes of ADP binding sites at 20 degrees C have been characterized in the F1-ATPase from the thermophilic bacterium, PS3 (TF1). One class is comprised of three sites which saturate with [3H]ADP in less than 10 s with a Kd of 10 microM which, once filled, exchange rapidly with medium ADP. The binding of ADP to these sites is dependent on Mg2+. [3H]ADP bound to these sites is removed by repeated gel filtrations on centrifuge columns equilibrated with ADP free medium. The other class is comprised of a single site which saturates with [3H]ADP in 30 min with a Kd of 30 microM. [3H]ADP bound to this site does not exchange with medium ADP nor does it dissociate on gel filtration through centrifuge columns equilibrated with ADP free medium. Binding of [3H]ADP to this site is weaker in the presence of Mg2+ where the Kd for ADP is about 100 microM. [3H]ADP dissociated from this site when ATP plus Mg2+ was added to the complex while it remained bound in the presence of ATP alone or in the presence of ADP, Pi, or ADP plus Pi with or without added Mg2+. Significant amounts of ADP in the 1:1 TF1.ADP complex were converted to ATP in the presence of Pi, Mg2+, and 50% dimethyl sulfoxide. Enzyme-bound ATP synthesis was abolished by chemical modification of a specific glutamic acid residue by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, but not by modification of a specific tyrosine residue with 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzofurazan. Difference circular dichroism spectra revealed that the three Mg2+ -dependent, high affinity ADP binding sites that were not stable to gel filtration were on the alpha subunits and that the single ADP binding site that was stable to gel filtration was on one of the three beta subunits. It has also been demonstrated that enzyme-bound ATP is formed when the TF0.F1 complex containing bound ADP was incubated with Pi, Mg2+, and 50% dimethyl sulfoxide. 相似文献

Reversible binding of Pi by beef heart mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase. 总被引:110,自引:0,他引:110
H S Penefsky 《The Journal of biological chemistry》1977,252(9):2891-2899
Beef heart mitochondrial ATPase (F1) exhibited a single binding site for Pi. The interaction with Pi was reversible, partially dependent on the presence of divalent metal ions, and characterized by a dissociation constant at pH 7.5 of 80 micronM. A variety of substances known to influence oxidative phosphorylation or the activity of the soluble ATPase (F1) also influenced Pi binding by the enzyme. Thus aurovertin, an inhibitor of oxidative phosphorylation, which was bound tightly by F1 and inhibited ATPase activity, enhanced Pi binding via a 4-fold increase in the affinity of the enzyme for Pi (KD = 20 micronM) but did not alter binding stoichiometry. Anions such as SO4(2-), SO3(2-), chromate, and 2,4-dinitrophenolate, which stimulated ATPase activity of F1, also enhanced Pi binding. Inhibitors of ATPase activity such as nickel/bathophenanthroline and the protein ATPase inhibitor of Pullman and Monroy (Pullman, M. E., and Monroy, G. C. (1963) J. Biol. Chem. 238, 3762-3769) inhibited Pi binding. The adenine nucleotides ADP, ATP, and the ATP analog adenylyl imidodiphosphate as well as the Pi analog arsenate, also inhibited Pi binding. The observations suggest that the Pi binding site was located in or near an adenine nucleotide binding site on the molecule. 相似文献

Spinach leaf mitochondrial F0F1 ATPase has been purified and is shown to consist of twelve polypeptides. Five of the polypeptides constitute the F1 part of the enzyme. The remaining polypeptides, with molecular masses of 28 kDa, 23 kDa, 18.5 kDa, 15 kDa, 10.5 kDa, 9.5 kDa and 8.5 kDa, belong to the F0 part of the enzyme. This is the first report concerning identification of the subunits of the plant mitochondrial F0. The identification of the components is achieved on the basis of the N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis and Western blot technique using monospecific antibodies against proteins characterized in other sources. The 28-kDa protein crossreacts with antibodies against the subunit of bovine heart ATPase with N-terminal Pro-Val-Pro- which corresponds to subunit F0b of Escherichia coli F0F1. Sequence analysis of the N-terminal 32 amino acids of the 23-kDa protein reveals that this protein is similar to mammalian oligomycin-sensitivity-conferring protein and corresponds to the F1 delta subunit of the chloroplast and E. coli ATPases. The 18.5-kDa protein crossreacts with antibodies against subunit 6 of the beef heart F0 and its N-terminal sequence of 14 amino acids shows a high degree of sequence similarity to the conserved regions at N-terminus of the ATPase subunits 6 from different sources. ATPase subunit 6 corresponds to subunit F0a of the E. coli enzyme. The 15-kDa protein and the 10.5-kDa protein crossreact with antibodies against F6 and the endogenous ATPase inhibitor protein of beef heart F0F1-ATPase, respectively. The 9.5-kDa protein is an N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-binding protein corresponding to subunit F0c of the E. coli enzyme. The 8.5-kDa protein is of unknown identity. The isolated spinach mitochondrial F0F1 ATPase catalyzes oligomycin-sensitive ATPase activity of 3.5 mumol.mg-1.min-1. The enzyme catalyzes also hydrolysis of GTP (7.5 mumol.mg-1.min-1) and ITP (4.4 mumol.mg-1.min-1). Hydrolysis of ATP was stimulated fivefold in the presence of amphiphilic detergents, however the hydrolysis of other nucleotides could not be stimulated by these agents. These results show that the plant mitochondrial F0F1 ATPase complex differs in composition from the other mitochondrial, chloroplast and bacterial ATPases. The enzyme is, however, more closely related to the yeast mitochondrial ATPase and to the animal mitochondrial ATPase than to the chloroplast enzyme. The plant mitochondrial enzyme, however, exhibits catalytic properties which are characteristic for the chloroplast enzyme. 相似文献

[32P]Azidonitrophenyl phosphate [( 32P]ANPP) is a photoactivatable analogue of Pi. It competes efficiently with Pi for binding to the F1 sector of beef heart mitochondrial ATPase and photolabels the Pi binding site located in the beta subunit of F1 [Lauquin, G. J. M., Pougeois, R., & Vignais, P. V. (1980) Biochemistry 19, 4620-4626]. By cleavage of the photolabeled beta subunit of F1 with cyanogen bromide, trypsin, and chymotrypsin, bound [32P]ANPP was localized in a fragment spanning Thr 299-Phe 326. By Edman degradation of the radiolabeled tryptic peptide spanning Ile 296-Arg 337, [32P]ANPP was found to be attached covalently by its photoreactive group to Ile 304, Gln 308, and Tyr 311. These results are discussed in terms of a model in which the phosphate group of [32P]ANPP interacts with a glycine-rich sequence of the beta subunit, spanning Gly 156-Lys 162, which is spatially close to the photolabeled Ile 304-Tyr 311 segment of the same subunit. 相似文献

A sensitive, specific procedure was developed for detecting Escherichia coli O157:H7 in food in less than 20 h. The procedure involves enrichment of 25 g of food in 225 ml of a selective enrichment medium for 16 to 18 h at 37 degrees C with agitation (150 rpm). The enrichment culture is applied to a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with a polyclonal antibody specific for E. coli O157 antigen as the capture antibody and a monoclonal antibody specific for enterohemorrhagic E. coli of serotypes O157:H7 and O26:H11 as the detection antibody. The ELISA can be completed within 3 h. The sensitivity of the procedure, determined by using E. coli O157:H7-inoculated ground beef and dairy products, including different varieties of cheese, was 0.2 to 0.9 cell per g of food. A survey of retail fresh ground beef and farm raw milk samples with this procedure revealed that 3 (2.8%) of 107 ground beef samples and 11 (10%) of 115 raw milk samples were positive for E. coli O157:H7. Most-probable-number determinations revealed E. coli O157:H7 populations of 0.4 to 1.5 cells per g in the three ground beef samples. In addition to being highly specific, sensitive, and rapid, this procedure is easy to perform and is amenable to use by laboratories performing routine microbiological testing. 相似文献

4-Azido-2-nitrophenyl pyrophosphate (azido-PPi) labeled with 32P in the alpha position was prepared and used to photolabel beef heart mitochondrial F1. Azido-PPi was hydrolyzed by yeast inorganic pyrophosphatase, but not by mitochondrial F1-ATPase. Incubation of F1 with [alpha-32P]azido-PPi in the dark under conditions of saturation resulted in the binding of the photoprobe to three sites, two of which exhibited a high affinity (Kd = 2 microM), the third one having a lower affinity (Kd = 300 microM). Mg2+ was required for binding. As with PPi [Issartel et al. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 13538-13544], the binding of 3 mol of azido-PPi/mol of F1 resulted in the release of one tightly bound nucleotide. ADP, AMP-PNP, and PPi competed with azido-PPi for binding to F1, but Pi and the phosphate analogue azidonitrophenyl phosphate did not. The binding of [32P]Pi to F1 was enhanced at low concentrations of azido-PPi, as it was in the presence of low concentrations of PPi. Sulfite, which is thought to bind to an anion-binding site on F1, inhibited competitively the binding of both ADP and azido-PPi, suggesting that the postulated anion-binding site of F1 is related to the exchangeable nucleotide-binding sites. Upon photoirradiation of F1 in the presence of [alpha-32P]azido-PPi, the photoprobe became covalently bound with concomitant inactivation of F1. The plots relating the inactivation of F1 to the covalent binding of the probe were rectilinear up to 50% inactivation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Catalysis of partial reactions of ATP synthesis by beef heart mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase
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. 相似文献

The stoichiometry of nucleotide binding to the isolated alpha- and beta-subunits of Escherichia coli F1-ATPase was investigated using two experimental techniques: (a) titration with fluorescent trinitrophenyl (TNP) derivatives of AMP, ADP, and ATP and (b) the centrifuge column procedure using the particular conditions of Khananshvili and Gromet-Elhanan (Khananshvili, D., and Gromet-Elhanan, Z. (1985) FEBS Lett. 178, 10-14). Both procedures showed that alpha-subunit contains one nucleotide-binding site, confirming previous work. TNP-ADP and TNP-ATP bound to a maximal level of 1 mol/mol beta-subunit, consistent with previous equilibrium dialysis studies which showed isolated beta-subunit bound 1 mol of ADP or ATP per mol (Issartel, J. P., and Vignais, P. V. (1984) Biochemistry 23, 6591-6595). However, binding of only approximately 0.1 mol of ATP or ADP per mol of beta-subunit was detected using centrifuge columns. Our results are consistent with the conclusion that each of the alpha- and beta-subunits contains one nucleotide-binding domain. Because the subunit stoichiometry is alpha 3 beta 3 gamma delta epsilon, this can account for the location of the six known nucleotide-binding sites in E. coli F1-ATPase. Studies of in vitro assembly of isolated alpha-, beta-, and gamma- subunits into an active ATPase showed that ATP, GTP, and ITP all supported assembly, with half-maximal reconstitution of ATPase occurring at concentrations of 100-200 microM, whereas ADP, GDP, and IDP did not. Also TNP-ATP supported assembly and TNP-ADP did not. The results demonstrate that (a) the nucleotide-binding site on beta-subunit has to be filled for enzyme assembly to proceed, whereas occupancy of the alpha-subunit nucleotide-binding site is not required, and (b) that enzyme assembly requires nucleoside triphosphate. 相似文献
