The proton-motive forces generated in submitochondrial particles by both hydrolysis of ATP and oxidation of succinate have been measured by flow dialysis and compared with the ambient phosphorylation potentials. It is concluded that three H+ are translocated for each ATP molecule hydrolysed or synthesised. By utilising rat liver mitochondria respiring with β-hydroxybutyrate as a new system for regeneration of ATP from ADP and Pi, phosphorylation potentials were clamped at a range of values by using mixtures of particles and mitochondria in various ratios. As the rate of ATP hydrolysis by the particles was lowered, the proton-motive force decreased only slightly except at the very lowest rates, these results paralleling earlier studies on the relation between rate of respiration-driven proton translocation and proton-motive force.  相似文献

The respiration of rat liver mitochondria was stimulated by three different ways of energy drain: (a) partial uncoupling (equivalent to direct collapse of the proton-motive force), (b) intramitochondrial utilization of ATP for citrulline synthesis, and (c) extramitochondrial utilization of ATP for glucose phosphorylation. At identical rates of respiration, the intramitochondrial ATP: ADP ratios were the same in all three systems. Furthermore, the proton-motive force was the same in partially uncoupled mitochondria and in the presence of hexokinase plus glucose up to a respiration rate amounting to about 60% of that of the fully active state. However, external ATP: ADP ratios were considerably different in various systems at comparable rates of oxygen uptake, being the lowest under conditions when ATP was being utilized externally. On this basis, it is concluded that the respiratory rate is controlled directly by the proton-motive force and the mitochondrial ATP-synthesizing system operates under near-equilibrium conditions with respect to the membrane energy state parameters. However, a disequilibrium exists at the step of the transport of ATP from mitochondria to the external (cytoplasmic) compartment.  相似文献

The hydrolytic and phosphorylation activities of the ATPase complex of bovine heart mitochondria are regulated by the ATPase inhibitor of Pullman and Monroy [1]. The inhibiting action of the peptide on ATPase activity can be overcome by a proton-motive force. Submitochondrial particles that contain the inhibitor, either intrinsically or externally added, show a lag that precedes phosphorylation. Particles devoid of the inhibitor, or particles that are in an ‘active’ state fail to present the lag. Accordingly, the data indicate that, prior to the onset of phosphorylation, the ATPase complex undergoes a transition to an active state through a process that involves the inhibitor. The transition depends on the concentration of ATP, 50 μM ATP giving 50% inhibition of the proton-motive force-induced transition.  相似文献

Characteristics of the exchange reactions catalyzed by beef heart submitochondrial particles give new insight into energy transducing steps of oxidative phosphorylation. The uncoupler-insensitive portion of the total Pi in equilibrium HOH exchange in presence of ATP, ADP, and Pi is the intermediate Pi in equilibrium HOH exchange, that is the exchange occurring with Pi formed by hydrolysis of ATP prior to release of Pi from the catalytic site. The exchange of medium Pi with HOH is as sensitive to uncouplers as the Pi in equilibrium ATP exchange and net oxidative phosphorylation, demonstrating a requirement of an uncoupler-sensitive energized state, probably a transmembrane potential or proton gradient, for bringing medium Pi to the reactive state. The covalent bond forming and breaking step at the catalytic site (ADP + Pi in equilibrium ATP + HOH) appears relatively insensitive to uncouplers. Thus to the extent that uncouplers dissipate transmembrane proton-motive force, it is unlikely that such a force is used to drive ATP formation by direct protonations of Pi oxygens. When only Pi and ADP are added and formation of ATP from added ADP by adenylate kinase and subsequent ATP hydrolysis are adequately blocked, no Pi in equilibrium HOH exchange can be observed, demonstrating a requirement of energization by ATP binding and cleavage for such an exchange. This uncoupler-insensitive energization is suggested to represent a conformationally energized state that can be used reversibly to develop a transmembrane protonmotive force accompanying ADP and Pi release. Rates of various exchanges as estimated by improved procedures are compatible with all oxygen exchanges occurring by dynamic reversal of ATP hydrolysis at the catalytic site.  相似文献

Inhibition of the yeast F(0)F(1)-ATP synthase by the regulatory peptides IF1 and STF1 was studied using intact mitochondria and submitochondrial particles from wild-type cells or from mutants lacking one or both peptides. In intact mitochondria, endogenous IF1 only inhibited uncoupled ATP hydrolysis and endogenous STF1 had no effect. Addition of alamethicin to mitochondria readily made the mitochondrial membranes permeable to nucleotides, and bypassed the kinetic control exerted on ATP hydrolysis by the substrate carriers. In addition, alamethicin made the regulatory peptides able to cross mitochondrial membranes. At pH 7.3, F(0)F(1)-ATPase, initially inactivated by either endogenous IF1 or endogenous STF1, was completely reactivated hours or minutes after alamethicin addition, respectively. Previous application of a membrane potential favored the release of endogenous IF1 and STF1. These observations showed that IF1 and STF1 can fully inhibit ATP hydrolysis at physiological concentrations and are sensitive to the same effectors. However, ATP synthase has a much lower affinity for STF1 than for IF1, as demonstrated by kinetic studies of ATPase inhibition in submitochondrial particles by externally added IF1 and STF1 at pHs ranging from 5.5 to 8.0. Our data do not support previously proposed effects of STF1, like the stabilization of the IF1-F(0)F(1) complex or the replacement of IF1 on its binding site in the presence of the proton-motive force or at high pH, and raise the question of the conditions under which STF1 could regulate ATPase activity in vivo.  相似文献

The adaptation of oxidative energy transformation in mitochondria to the energy demand of cellular metabolism was investigated in experiments with isolated mitochondria and liver cells and by computer simulation in terms of a mathematical model. Separate draining of different energy pools allowed the determination of the relation between these pools and the elucidation of the importance of the connecting enzyme reactions to the regulation of the whole process. The following conclusions can be drawn from the results: 1. The intramitochondrial adenine nucleotide pool exhibits a homogeneous behaviour, and its changes are the signal for ATP synthesis. 2. The proton-motive force which is in near-equilibrium with the intramitochondrial phosphorylation potential is the immediate signal for the respiratory chain. 3. The intramitochondrial phosphorylation potential is transformed into the external one by a flux-dependent non-equilibrium reaction of the translocator. 4. The rate of respiration-linked ATP formation is regulated by more than one reaction step with varying control strength. 5. In both isolated mitochondria and hepatocytes an activation of respiration is provoked by a decrease in the mitochondrial energy state caused by cellular energy utilization.  相似文献

1. The uncoupler-stimulated ATPase activity of castor bean endosperm mitochondria and submitchondrial particles has been studied. The rate of ATP hydrolysis catalyzed by intact mitochondria was slow and little enhanced by addition of uncouplers at the concentration required for uncoupling the oxidative phosphorylation. ATP-ase activity was stimulated at higher concentrations of uncouplers. 2. 1-Anilinonaphthalene 8-sulfonate fluorescence was decreased when the mitochondria were oxidizing succinate. Carbonylcyanide-p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone and antimycin reversed the succinate-induced fluorescence diminution. ATP did not induce the fluorescence response. 3. The addition of succinate, NADH or ascorbate/N,N,N'-N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine as electron donor induced high ATPase activity in the presence of low concentrations of uncouplers. Stimulating effect of uncouplers was completely abolished by further addition of antimycin. 4. Submitochondrial particles were prepared by sonication. The particles catalyzed a rapid hydrolysis of ATP and carbonylcyanide-p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone at 10-8 M did not stimulate the ATPase activity. Addition of succinate induced uncoupler-stimulated ATPase activity. The effect of succinate was completely abolished by further addition of antimycin. 5. The treatment of submitochondrial particles by trypsin or high pH also induced uncoupler-stimulated ATPase activity. 6. The above results were interpreted to indicate that ATPase inhibitor regulated the back-flow reaction of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation.  相似文献

The Escherichia coli proton-translocating F0F1-ATP synthase has a priority in H+ circulation through the membrane in maintaining proton-motive force in the context of ATP synthesis and hydrolysis. Recent advances in the study of this complex under fermentative growth have led to hypothesis that, in the absence of oxidative phosphorylation, F0F1 is implicated as an essential part of H+ movement and ATP hydrolysis, associated with solute secondary transporters and/or enzymes of anaerobic oxidation-reduction. These associations can result from a protein-protein interaction by dithiol-disulfide interchange. In such associations F0F1 has novel functions in bacterial cell physiology.  相似文献

The efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation was compared between rats chronically fed with ethanol and controls. (i) Results showed that the liver mitochondria state 4 respiratory rate was strongly inhibited, while the corresponding proton-motive force was not affected; (ii) the cytochrome oxidase content and activity were decreased and (iii) the oxidative-phosphorylation yield was increased in the ethanol exposed group. Furthermore, oxidative phosphorylation at coupling site II was not affected by ethanol. Cytochrome oxidase inhibition by sodium-azide mimicked the effects of ethanol intoxication in control mitochondria. This indicates that the decrease in cytochrome oxidase activity induced by ethanol intoxication directly increases the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation.  相似文献

The presence of medium Pi (half-maximal concentration of 20 microM at pH 8.0) was found to be required for the prevention of the rapid decline in the rate of proton-motive force (pmf)-induced ATP hydrolysis by Fo.F1 ATP synthase in coupled vesicles derived from Paracoccus denitrificans. The initial rate of the reaction was independent of Pi. The apparent affinity of Pi for its "ATPase-protecting" site was strongly decreased with partial uncoupling of the vesicles. Pi did not reactivate ATPase when added after complete time-dependent deactivation during the enzyme turnover. Arsenate and sulfate, which was shown to compete with Pi when Fo.F1 catalyzed oxidative phosphorylation, substituted for Pi as the protectors of ATPase against the turnover-dependent deactivation. Under conditions where the enzyme turnover was not permitted (no ATP was present), Pi was not required for the pmf-induced activation of ATPase, whereas the presence of medium Pi (or sulfate) delayed the spontaneous deactivation of the enzyme which was induced by the membrane de-energization. The data are interpreted to suggest that coupled and uncoupled ATP hydrolysis catalyzed by Fo.F1 ATP synthases proceeds via different intermediates. Pi dissociates after ADP if the coupling membrane is energized (no E.ADP intermediate exists). Pi dissociates before ADP during uncoupled ATP hydrolysis, leaving the E.ADP intermediate which is transformed into the inactive ADP(Mg2+)-inhibited form of the enzyme (latent ATPase).  相似文献

The effect of accumulation of Ca2+ at physiological concentrations (10(-8)-10(-6) M) on the rates of ATP synthesis and hydrolysis in rat liver mitochondria was studied. An addition of 5 x 10(-7) M Ca2+ resulted in the maximal rates of synthesis and hydrolysis of ATP. Decrease in the concentration of Ca2+ to 10-8 M or its increase to 5 x 10(-6) M inhibited oxidative phosphorylation and ATP hydrolysis. It was found that the rate of oxidative phosphorylation correlated with the phosphorylation level of a 3.5-kD peptide in the mitochondrial inner membrane on varying the Ca2+ concentration. The possible regulation of oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria by Ca2+ is discussed.  相似文献

When illuminated, washed cell suspensions of Ectothiorhodospira halophila carry out a concentrative uptake of glutamate or proline. Dark-exposed cells accumulate glutamate but not proline. Proline transport was strongly inhibited by carbonylcyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP), a proton permeant that uncouples photophosphorylation, and by 2-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-n-oxide (HQNO), an inhibitor of photosynthetic electron transport. A stimulation of proline uptake was effected by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD), an inhibitor of membrane adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) which catalyzes the phosphorylation. These findings suggest that the driving force for proline transport is the proton-motive force established during photosynthetic electron transport. Glutamate uptake in the light was inhibited by CCCP and HQNO, but to a lesser extent than was the proline system. DCCD caused a mild inhibition of glutamate uptake in the light, but strongly inhibited the uptake by dark-exposed cells. CCCP strongly inhibited glutamate uptake in the dark. The light-dependent transport of glutamate is apparently driven by the proton-motive force established during photosynthetic electron transport. Hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by membrane ATPase apparently establishes the proton-motive force to drive the light-independent transport. These conclusions were supported by demonstrating that light- or dark-exposed cells accumulate [3H]triphenylmethylphosphonium, a lipid-soluble cation. Several lines of indirect evidence indicated that the proline system required higher levels of energy than did the glutamate system(s). This could explain why ATP hydrolysis does not drive proline transport in the dark. Membrane vesicles were prepared by the sonic treatment of E. halophila spheroplasts. The vesicles contained active systems for the uptake of proline and glutamate.  相似文献

Intramitochondrial Sr2+, similar to Ca2+, inhibits oxidative phosphorylation in intact rat-liver mitochondria. Both Ca2+ and Sr2+ also inhibit the hydrolytic activity of the ATPase in submitochondrial particles. Half-maximal inhibition of ATPase activity was attained at a concentration of 2.5 mM Ca2+ or 5.0 mM Sr2+ when the concentration of Mg2+ in the medium was 1.0 mM. The inhibition of ATPase activity by both cations was strongly decreased by increasing the Mg2+ concentration in the reaction medium. In addition, kinetical data and the determination of the concentration of MgATP, the substrate of the ATPase, in the presence of different concentrations of Ca2+ or Sr2+ strongly indicate that these cations inhibit ATP hydrolysis by competing with Mg2+ for the formation of MgATP. On the basis of a good agreement between these results with submitochondrial particles and the results of titrations of oxidative phosphorylation with carboxyatractyloside or oligomycin in mitochondria loaded with Sr2+ it can be concluded that intramitochondrial Ca2+ or Sr2+ inhibits oxidative phosphorylation in intact mitochondria by decreasing the availability of adenine nucleotides to both the ADP/ATP carrier and the ATP synthase.  相似文献

The membrane-bound ATP synthetase complex of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum showed maximum activity for ATP hydrolysis at pH 8, at temperatures between 65 and 70 degrees C, and at an ATP-Mg2+ ratio of 0.5. Anaerobic conditions were not prerequisite for enzyme activity. The enzyme showed a Km value for ATP of 2 mM, and activity was Mg2+ dependent; Mn2+, Co2+, Ca2+, and Zn2+ could replace Mg2+ to some extent. Other nucleoside triphosphates could be hydrolyzed. N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide inhibited ATP hydrolysis. A proton-motive force, artificially imposed by a pH shift or valinomycin, resulted in ATP synthesis in whole cells. The ATP synthetase complex of the thermophilic methanogenic bacterium is similar to those described in aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms.  相似文献

Single giant mitochondria isolated from mice fed cuprizone were assayed for their metabolic viability. Two tests were devised. One test optically detected the accumulation of calcium phosphate within the mitochondria under massive loading conditions (including the presence of succinate and ATP). The accumulation corresponds to a test of energy coupling from either electron transport or the hydrolysis of ATP since it is blocked by either antimycin A or oligomycin. The other assay tested for the production of ATP from ADP and Pi, using myofibrils. Myofibrils prepared from glycerinated rabbit psoas muscle contract only in the presence of ATP and not in the presence of ADP. Myofibrillar contraction is unaffected by the presence of antimycin A or oligomycin. However, myofibrils in the presence of mitochondria that are phosphorylating ADP to ATP do contract. This contraction is blocked by antimycin A and/or oligomycin. Hence, the ATP which causes myofibrillar contraction is produced by oxidative phosphorylation. At low mitochondrial concentration, only the myofibrils in close proximity with mitochondria contract in the presence of ADP. Therefore the assay can be used to test the viability of individual mitochondria. Individual giant mitochondria were found to be viable, using both of these assays. Comparable results were obtained in mitochondria impaled with microelectrodes. The potentials and resistances were unaffected by concomitant calcium phosphate accumulation or oxidative phosphorylation.  相似文献

The hydrolysis of ATP, ADP or GTP was characterized in mitochondria and submitochondrial particles since a tightly-bound ATPase associated with the inner mitochondrial membrane from the human placenta has been described. Submitochondrial particles, which are basically inner membranes, were used to define the location of this enzyme. Mitochondria treated with trypsin and specific inhibitors were also used. The oxygen consumption stimulated by ATP or ADP was 100% inhibited in intact mitochondria by low concentrations of oligomycin (0.5 microgram/mg) or venturicidine (0.1 microgram/mg), while the hydrolysis of ATP or ADP was insensitive to higher concentrations of these inhibitors but it was inhibited by vanadate. Oligomycin or venturicidine showed a different inhibition pattern in intact mitochondria in relation to the hydrolysis of ATP, ADP or GTP. When submitochondrial particles were isolated from mitochondria incubated with oligomycin or venturicidine, no further inhibition of the nucleotide hydrolysis was observed, contrasting with the partial inhibition observed in the control. By incubating the placental mitochondria with trypsin, a large fraction of the hydrolysis of nucleotides was eliminated. In submitochondrial particles obtained from mitochondria treated with trypsin or trypsin plus oligomycin, the hydrolysis of ATP was 100% sensitive to oligomycin at low concentrations, resembling the oxygen consumption; however, this preparation still showed some ADP hydrolysis. Native gel electrophoresis showed two bands hydrolyzing ADP, suggesting at least two enzymes involved in the hydrolysis of nucleotides, besides the F1F0-ATPase. It is concluded that human placental mitochondria possesses ADPase and ATP-diphosphohydrolase activities (247).  相似文献

The action of the natural ATPase inhibitor protein of Pullman and Monroy (Pullman, M. E., and Monroy, G. C. (1963) J. Biol. Chem. 238, 3762-3769) on the mechanisms of energy conservation of heart mitochondria has been explored. The synthesis and hydrolysis of ATP and the Pi-ATP exchange reaction were studied in submitochondrial particles that possess the ATPase-inhibitor protein complex in two distinguishable states. In addition to their different rates of hydrolysis, the two states of the complex have been identified from their different accessibility to antibodies directed against the inhibitor protein, and from the different action of antibodies and trypsin on the ATPase activity of the two types of particles studied. The steady state rates of hydrolysis and of the Pi-ATP exchange reaction of the particles are determined by the state in which the ATPase-inhibitor complex exists. Apparently by modifying the rate of one of the steps involved in the catalytic reaction of the ATPase, the inhibitor protein determines the extent to which the enzyme is able to catalyze ATP hydrolysis and the Pi-ATP exchange reaction. This action of the inhibitor protein also reflects the rate at which the particles carry out oxidative phosphorylation.  相似文献

Evidence is presented for a high proton translocation stoichiometry (H+/ATP) of approx. 9 in ATPase proteoliposomes with extremely low permeability for ions, reconstituted from a thermophilic cyanobacterium. A proportional relation between the phosphate potential (ΔGfp) and the proton-motive force (Δp) was observed in thermodynamic equilibrium. A bulk-to-bulk Δp was imposed by valinomycin-induced K diffusion potentials of different size while the initial ΔGfp was varied. In all cases equilibrium was reached in about 1.5 h. A high H/ATP ratio was also deduced from the relation between the initial rates of ATP synthesis or hydrolysis at varying ΔGfp and Δp. The implications of these results for the mechanism of energy transduction in energy-conserving membranes are discussed.  相似文献
