Oligomycin sensitivity-conferring protein (OSCP) is a water-soluble subunit of bovine heart mitochondrial H(+)-ATPase (F1-F0). In order to investigate the requirement of OSCP for passive proton conductance through mitochondrial F0, OSCP-depleted membrane preparations were obtained by extracting purified F1-F0 complexes with 4.0 M urea. The residual complexes, referred to as UF0, were found to be deficient with respect to OSCP, as well as alpha, beta, and gamma subunits of F1-ATPase, but had a full complement of coupling factor 6 as judged by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and Western blotting techniques. These UF0 complexes had no intrinsic ATPase activity and were able to bind nearly the same amount of F1-ATPase in the presence of either OSCP or NH4+ ions alone, or a combination of the two. However, the preparations exhibited an absolute dependency on OSCP for conferral of oligomycin sensitivity to membrane-bound ATPase. The passive proton conductance in UF0 proteoliposomes was measured by time-resolved quenching of 9-amino-6-chloro-2-methoxyacridine or 9-aminoacridine fluorescence following a valinomycin-induced K(+)-diffusion potential. The data clearly establish that OSCP is not a necessary component of the F0 proton channel nor is its presence required for conductance blockage by the inhibitors oligomycin or dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Furthermore, OSCP does not prevent or block passive H+ leakage. Comparisons of OSCP with the F1-F0 subunits from Escherichia coli and chloroplast lead us to suggest that mitochondrial OSCP is, both structurally and functionally, a hybrid between the beta and delta subunits of the prokaryotic systems.  相似文献

Oligomycin sensitivity conferral protein, in the absence of coupling factor 6 (F6), is able to bind the ATPase to mitochondrial membranes with an apparent association constant of 10(6) M-1. The F6-dependent ATPase binding has an apparent association constant 1 to 2 orders of magnitude lower than that obtained with oligomycin sensitivity conferral protein. The oligomycin sensitivity conferral protein-dependent, membrane-bound ATPase activity is sensitive to rutamycin while the F6-dependent, membrane-bound ATPase activity is insensitive to rutamycin. F1-ATPase and Type II ATPase require F6 in addition to oligomycin sensitivity conferral protein and FB to reconstitute 32Pi-ATP exchange activity in silicotungstic acid particles. This F6 requirement for the 32Pi-ATP exchange is not related to the F6 effect on the ATPase binding. The Type I ATPase and therefore the 26,500-dalton subunit associated with it requires F6 and FB to reconstitute 32Pi-ATP exchange activity in silicotungstic acid particles. Oligomycin sensitivity conferral protein can be interchanged with the 26,500-dalton ATPase binding protein in the binding of the ATPase and the 32Pi-ATP exchange.  相似文献

Mitochondrial H+-ATPase complex, purified by the lysolecithin extraction procedure, has been resolved into a “membrane” (NaBr-F0) and a “soluble” fraction by treatment with 3.5 M sodium bromide. The NaBr-F0 fraction is completely devoid of p, 8, and e subunits of the F, ATPase and largely devoid of α and γ subunits of F1, where F0 is used to denote the membrane fraction and F1, coupling factor 1. This is confirmed by complete loss of ATPase and P1-ATP exchange activities. The addition of F1 (400 μg · mg?1 F0) results in complete restoration of oligomycin sensitivity without any reduction in the F1-ATPase activity. Presumably, this is due to release of ATPase inhibitor protein from the F1-F0 complex consequent to sodium bromide extraction. Restoration of Pf-ATP exchange and H+-pumping activities require coupling factor B in addition to FpATPase. The oligomycin-sensitive ATPase and 32P1ATP exchange activities in reconstituted Fr F0 have the same sensitivity to uncouplers and energy transfer inhibitors as in starting submitochondrial particles from the heavy layer of mitochondria and F1-F0 complex. The data suggest that the altered properties of NaBr-F0 observed in other laboratories are probably inherent to their F1F0 preparations rather than to sodium bromide treatment itself.

The H+-ATPase (F1-F0) complex of all known prokaryotic (3, 8, 9, 10, 21, 32, 34) and eukaryotic (11, 26, 30, 33, 35–37) phosphorylating membranes contain two functionally and structurally distinct entities. The hydrophilic component F1, composed of five unlike subunits, shows ATPase activity that is cold labile as well as uncoupler-and oligomycin-insensitive. The membrane-bound hydrophobic component F0, having no energy-linked catalytic activity of its own, is indirectly assayed by its ability to regain oligomycin sensitive ATPase and P1-ATP exchange activities on binding to F1-ATPase (33). The purest preparations of bovine heart mitochondrial F0 show seven or eight major components in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate or SDS-PAGE (1, 2, 12, 14), ranging from 6 to 54 ku in molecular weight (12). The precise structure and polypeptide composition of mitochondrial Fo is not known.

The F0 preparations from bovine heart reported so far have been derived from H+-ATPase preparations isolated in the presence of cholate and deoxycholate (11, 33, 36, 37). The ATPase and P1-ATP exchange activity of the preparations so obtained are low, dependent upon additional phospholipids and coupling factors; they show altered sensitivity to energy transfer inhibitors as compared to submitochondrial particles from the heavy layer of the mitochondria or ETPh (1. 2, 12, 14, 29, 33). Recently, lysolecithin has been successfully employed to extract highly active H+-ATPase from beef (17, 19, 28) and pig (24) heart mitochondria. The beef heart H+-ATPase preparation has the same ratio of ATPase to PrATP exchange activity and apparently the same sensitivity to energy transfer inhibitors as submitochondrial particles (17). The present communication describes resolution of this F1-F0 preparation using sodium bromide (NaBr) and reconstitution of ATPase and Pr ATP exchange activities. The NaBr-F0 prepared from this preparation shows no dependence on lipids, and the same or increased sensitivity to energy transfer inhibitors when reconstituted with F1-ATPase. Furthermore, F1 ATPase activity does not decrease on binding of F1 to NaBr-F0, even though the reconstituted ATPase activity is 99% sensitive to oligomy-cin and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. These properties are in contrast to the properties of F0 reported by other workers (12, 14).  相似文献

At low concentrations, diethylstilbestrol (DES) is shown to be a potent F0-directed inhibitor of the F0F1-ATPase of rat liver mitochondria. In analogy to other F0-directed inhibitors, DES inhibits both the ATPase and ATP-dependent proton-translocation activities of the purified and membrane bound enzyme. When added at low concentrations with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD), a covalent inhibitor, DES acts synergistically to inhibit ATPase activity of the complex. At higher concentrations, DES restores DCCD-inhibited ATPase activity. However, there is no restoration of ATP-dependent proton translocation. Under these conditions DCCD remains covalently bound to the F0F1-ATPase complex and F1 remains bound to Fo. Significantly, when the F0F1-ATPase is inhibited by the Fo-directed inhibitor venturicidin rather than DCCD, DES is also able to restore ATPase activity. In contrast, DES is unable to restore ATPase activity to F0F1 preparations inhibited by the Fo-directed inhibitors oligomycin or tricyclohexyltin. However, combinations of [DES + DCCD] or [DES + venturicidin] can restore ATPase activity to F0F1 preparations inhibited by either oligomycin or tricyclohexyltin. Results presented here indicate that the F0 moiety of the rat liver mitochondrial proton ATPase contains a distinct binding site for DES. In addition, they suggest that at saturating concentrations simultaneous occupancy of the DES binding site and sites for either DCCD or venturicidin promote "uncoupled" ATP hydrolysis.  相似文献

1. The isolation of F0F1-ATPase complex from Rhodospirillum rubrum chromatophores by the use of taurodeoxycholate is described. 2. The enzyme preparation contains about 12 polypeptides; five are subunits of the F1 moiety. 3. The ATPase activity of the purified enzyme is dependent on the addition of phospholipids. 4. Km-vales for Mg2+-ATP and Ca2+-ATP are similar to the values obtained for the membrane-bound enzyme. 5. The F0F1-ATPase complex is more than 70% inhibited by oligomycin and N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. 6. The F0F1-ATPase complex was integrated into liposomes. The reconstituted proteoliposomes catalyzed energy transduction as shown by ATP-dependent quenching of acridine dye fluorescence and ATP-32Pi exchange.  相似文献

A study is presented on the role of F0 and F1 subunits in oligomycin-sensitive H+ conduction and energy transfer reactions of bovine heart mitochondrial F0F1 H(+)-ATP synthase. Mild treatment with azodicarboxylic acid bis(dimethylamide) (diamide) enhanced oligomycin-sensitive H+ conduction in submitochondrial particles containing F1 attached to F0. This effect was associated with stimulation of the ATPase activity, with no effect on its inhibition by oligomycin, and depression of the 32Pi-ATP exchange. The stimulatory effect of diamide on H+ conduction decreased in particles from which F1 subunits were partially removed by urea. The stimulatory effect exerted by diamide in the submitochondrial particles with F1 attached to F0 was directly correlated with a decrease of the original electrophoretic bands of a subunit of F0 (F0I-PVP protein) and the gamma subunit of F1, with corresponding formation of their cross-linking product. In F0 liposomes, devoid of gamma subunit, diamide failed to stimulate H+ conduction and to cause disappearance of F0I-PVP protein, unless purified gamma subunit was added back. The addition to F0 liposomes of gamma subunit, but not that of alpha and beta subunits, caused per se inhibition of H+ conduction. It is concluded that F0I-PVP and gamma subunits are directly involved in the gate of the F0F1 H(+)-ATP synthase. Data are also presented indicating contribution to the gate of oligomycin-sensitivity conferral protein and of another protein subunit of F0, F6.  相似文献

A chimeric plasmid carrying the structural gene (ATP2) for the mitochondrial ATPase beta subunit of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used to complement a mutant of Schizosaccharomyces pombe lacking the beta subunit (Boutry, M., and Goffeau, A. (1982) Eur. J. Biochem. 125, 471-477). Transformation with ATP2 restored the growth rate of S. pombe mutant on glycerol as well as the mitochondrial ATPase and 32Pi-ATP exchange activities to approximately 20% of the parental strain. Mitochondria prepared from the transformant contained a normal amount of a hybrid F1-ATPase consisting of the S. cerevisiae beta subunit assembled with the remaining subunits of the S. pombe ATPase complex. The presence of the S. cerevisiae beta subunit in the S. pombe ATPase complex conferred a sensitivity to the energy transfer inhibitors citreoviridin and oligomycin which was like that of the intact S. cerevisiae enzyme. The S. cerevisiae beta subunit assembled into the hybrid ATPase complex was the same size as the mature subunit in S. cerevisiae. These data indicate that the mechanism of mitochondrial import and the assembly of the cytoplasmically synthesized subunits is similar or identical in these evolutionary divergent yeasts. In addition, this study provides a new approach for the construction of hybrid mitochondrial ATPase complexes which can be used to examine the function of selected subunits in energy transduction.  相似文献

The F1 ATPase of Bacillus subtilis BD99 was extracted from everted membrane vesicles by low-ionic-strength treatment and purified by DEAE-cellulose chromatography, hydrophobic interaction chromatography, and anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography. The subunit structure of the enzyme was examined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the absence and presence of urea. In the absence of urea, the alpha and beta subunits comigrated and the ATPase was resolved into four bands. The mobility of the beta subunit, identified by immunoblotting with anti-beta from Escherichia coli F1, was altered dramatically by the presence of urea, causing it to migrate more slowly than the alpha subunit. The catalytic activity of the ATPase was strongly metal dependent; in the absence of effectors, the Ca2+-ATPase activity was 15- to 20-fold higher than the Mg2+ -ATPase activity. On the other hand, sulfite anion, methanol, and optimally, octylglucoside stimulated the Mg2+ -ATPase activity up to twice the level of Ca2+ -ATPase activity (specific activity, about 80 mumol of Pi per min per mg of protein). The F1 ATPase was also isolated from mutants of B. subtilis that had been isolated and characterized in this laboratory by their ability to grow in the presence of protonophores. The specific activities of the ATPase preparations from the mutant and the wild type were very similar for both Mg2+- and Ca2+ -dependent activities. Kinetic parameters (Vmax and Km for Mg-ATP) for octylglucoside-stimulated Mg2+ -ATPase activity were similar in both preparations. Structural analysis by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing indicated that the five F1 subunits from ATPase preparations from the mutant and wild-type strains had identical apparent molecular weights and that no charge differences were detectable in the alpha and beta subunits in the two preparations. Thus, the increased ATPase activity that had been observed in the uncoupler-resistant mutants is probably not due to a mutation in the F1 moiety of the ATPase complex.  相似文献

2-Hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl bromide, a highly reactive reagent towards tryptophan residues in proteins, is shown to activate the passive proton flux through the inner mitochondrial membrane of bovine heart submitochondrial particles (ETPH). When added at low concentrations, the reagent increased both the ATPase activity of the particles and the passive proton transport rate through the membrane. The presence of oligomycin reduced the extent of the 2-Hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl bromide action on the proton conductivity suggesting that it acted primarily on the H+-ATPase complex. Similar effects were observed on F1-depleted particles, whilst no effect was observed on the isolated F1-ATPase activity. The results suggest that polypeptides bearing tryptophan residues may be involved in the gating function of proton channels of the mitochondrial membrane and this is particularly evident for the F0F1-ATPase complex.  相似文献

Lauryl dimethylamino oxide, a zwitterionic detergent, was employed to solubilize the H+ ATPase from beef heart mitochondria. A simple preparation procedure has been devised to obtain F1-F0 based on a method described to purify F1 ATPase (M. Tuena de Gómez-Puyou and A. Gómez-Puyou, 1977, Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 182, 82-86) which consists of the selective adsorption of F1 to Sepharose-hexylammonium beads. The preparation showed approximately 18 bands in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; 5 correspond to F1 subunits and the rest probably to the stalk and hydrophobic sector F0. The binding of [14C]dicyclohexylcarbodiimide to a low-molecular-weight component of this preparation was demonstrated. The F1-F0 complex was reconstituted into phospholipid vesicles which displayed ATP-Pi exchange and ATP-dependent 9-aminoacridine fluorescence quenching, both sensitive to proton channel inhibitors.  相似文献

Lysosomal H+-translocating ATPase (H+-ATPase) was solubilized with lysophosphatidylcholine and reconstituted into liposomes (Moriyama, Y., Takano, T. and Ohkuma, S. (1984) J. Biochem. (Tokyo) 96, 927-930). In this study, the sensitivities of membrane-bound, solubilized and liposome-incorporated ATPase to various anions and drugs were measured in comparison with those of similar forms of mitochondrial H+-ATPase (mitochondrial F0F1-ATPase) with the following results. (1) Bicarbonate and sulfite activated solubilized lysosomal H+-ATPase, but not the membrane-bound ATPase or ATPase incorporated into liposomes. All three forms of mitochondrial F0F1-ATPase were activated by these anions. (2) All three forms of both lysosomal H+-ATPase and mitochondrial F0F1-ATPase were strongly inhibited by SCN-, NO3- and F-, but scarcely affected by Cl-, Br- and SO2-4. (3) The solubilized lysosomal H+-ATPase was strongly inhibited by azide, quercetin, 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD-Cl), 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (SITS), 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS) and oligomycin. Its sensitivity was almost the same as that of mitochondrial F0F1-ATPase. Neither membrane-bound ATPase nor ATPase incorporated into liposomes was affected appreciably by these drugs. These results indicate that the sensitivity to anions and drugs of lysosomal H+-ATPase depends on the form of the enzyme and that the sensitivity of the solubilized lysosomal H+-ATPase is very similar to that of mitochondrial F0F1-ATPase. On the other hand, the two ATPases differ in their sensitivity to N-ethylmaleimide and pyridoxal phosphate: only the mitochondrial ATPase is inhibited by pyridoxal phosphate whereas only the lysosomal ATPase is inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide.  相似文献

The regulation of ATP hydrolysis and Pi-ATP exchange reactions by ATP, ADP, Mg2+, and phosphate was studied in liposomes containing F0-F1 obtained from bovine heart submitochondrial particles by solubilization with lauryl dimethylamino oxide as described previously (Dreyfus, G., Celis, H., and Ramirez, J. (1984) Anal. Biochem. 142, 215-220). A simultaneous analysis of ATP hydrolysis and the Pi-ATP exchange reactions showed that the ratio of hydrolysis/exchange is close to one when the ATP concentration is in the lower micromolar range. In this preparation ADP stimulates the Pi-ATP exchange reaction and depresses ATP hydrolysis. The exchange reaction is almost abolished when ADP is removed from the medium by an ATP-regenerating system. Mg2+ in millimolar concentrations stimulates Pi-ATP exchange, and at the same time decreases ATP hydrolysis; accordingly, the hydrolysis/exchange ratio depends on the concentration of Mg2+. Inorganic phosphate also controls this ratio, a lower ratio being observed at high phosphate concentrations. The Pi-ATP exchange reaction, but not ATP hydrolysis, depends on the concentration of medium phosphate. These results indicate that the kinetic characteristics of this F0-F1 preparation are modified by Mg2+, ATP, and phosphate.  相似文献

Two proteinaceous factors, 15K and 9K proteins, which acted together to stabilize the inactivated yeast F1F0-ATPase-inhibitor complex [Hashimoto, T., et al. (1984) J. Biochem. 95, 131-136] were hardly distinguishable from the sigma and epsilon subunits, respectively, of yeast F1-ATPase by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. However, they were clearly distinguishable from these subunits by analyses of the sequences at their amino terminals and by immunoblotting combined with SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The two stabilizing factors and an ATPase inhibitor existed in mitochondria in equimolar ratios to F1-ATPase. These three protein factors were not present in purified F1-ATPase or in F1F0-ATPase preparations, but remained in the mitochondrial membranes after extraction of F1F0-ATPase with Triton X-100. These observations strongly suggest that the two stabilizing factors and the ATPase inhibitor form a regulatory substructure of mitochondrial ATP synthase, in addition to the F1 and F0 subunits.  相似文献

Porcine heart mitochondrial H+-ATPase was reconstituted by cholate dialysis method in liposomes containing neutral (PC, PE), acidic (PG, PI, PA, PS, DPG) or neutral and acidic phospholipids. The Mg2+ effect on the ATPase activity and its sensitivity to oligomycin, ATP-induced delta psi and delta pH formation was observed for the proteoliposomes containing acidic but not neutral phospholipids. Maleimide spin labels with varying arm lengths or bromoacetamide spin probe were used to monitor the conformational difference of H+-ATPase in the Mg2+-containing and Mg2+-'free' samples. A difference in W/S ratio (weakly immobilized/strongly immobilized component in the ESR spectra) could be detected for the F0.F1-containing and F1-depleted, (F0)-containing proteoliposomes, suggesting conformational difference in the F0-F1 complex and F0 portion induced by the Mg2+ effect. A conformational change of the beta-subunits in the F1 portion was also deduced from the ATP-induced fluorescence quenching of aurovertin-complex for Mg2+-containing samples. The results obtained are in favor of our previous assumption that Mg2+ may play its role by altering the physical state of the lipid bilayer, which would induce a conformational change in F0 (buried in the lipid core), which in turn is transmitted to the catalytic F1, resulting in a higher enzyme activity.  相似文献

The effects of lauryl dimethylamine oxide on the Rhodospirillum rubrum H+-ATPase have been studied. This detergent activates Mg2+-dependent ATP hydrolysis in the isolated R. rubrum F0-F1 34-fold, whereas the Ca2+-ATPase activity is only slightly modified. ATPase activation by lauryl dimethylamine oxide enhances the effect on ATP hydrolysis exerted by free Mg2+ ions. Concentrations of free Mg2+ in the range of 0.025 mM favor activation while higher concentrations inhibit ATPase activity by approximately 70%. Steady-state kinetic analysis shows that lauryl dimethylamine oxide induces a complex kinetic behavior for Mg-ATP in the chromatophores, similar to the untreated F0-F1 complex. The initial rate value for Mg-ATP unisite catalysis was found to be 6.3 times higher (3.5 X 10(-3) mol Pi per mol R. rubrum F0-F1 per second) in the presence than in the absence of detergent, where the initial rate was 5.5 X 10(-4) mol Pi per mol R. rubrum F0-F1 per second. These experiments show that lauryl dimethylamine oxide shifts the cation requirement for ATP-hydrolysis of the isolated R. rubrum H+-ATPase from Ca2+ to Mg2+ and that it activates both multisite and unisite catalysis. Results are discussed in relation to the possibility of a regulatory role by Mg2+ ions on ATP hydrolysis expressed through subunit interactions.  相似文献

An ATP-driven proton pump in clathrin-coated vesicles   总被引:49,自引:0,他引:49  
Clathrin containing coated vesicles prepared from bovine brain catalyzed ATP-driven proton translocation and a 32Pi-ATP exchange reaction. Both activities were measured in the presence of 5 micrograms of oligomycin/mg of protein which completely inhibited these reactions catalyzed by submitochondrial particles. Analyses performed during the purification procedure demonstrated that the oligomycin-resistant pump was concentrated and highly purified in the fractions containing coated vesicles. Moreover, vesicles precipitated by either monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies against clathrin contained the H+ pump activity. Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (0.5 mM) and N-ethylmaleimide (1 mM) added to the assay mixture inhibited the pump completely, whereas neither vanadate, sodium azide, efrapeptin, or mitochondrial ATPase inhibitor had an effect.  相似文献

Mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae carrying defined lesions in the mitochondrial aap1 gene, coding for membrane subunit 8 of the H+-ATPase, have been investigated to examine the consequence of the mutations on the function and assembly of the enzyme complex. These include three mit- mutants, which cannot grow by oxidative metabolism due to their inability to synthesize full-length subunit 8, and three partial revertants of one of the mutants. The mutations in these strains have been previously characterized by DNA sequencing. The use of a monoclonal antibody to the beta subunit of the H+-ATPase as a probe of assembly defect revealed that the presence of subunit 8 is essential for the assembly of subunit 6 to the enzyme complex. Mitochondria isolated from the mit- mutants have negligible [32Pi]ATP exchange activity and they exhibited ATPase activity which is not sensitive to inhibition by oligomycin, indicating a defective membrane F0 sector. Normal assembly of subunit 8 (and subunit 6) was observed in the revertant strains, despite 8-9 amino-acid substitutions in the membrane-spanning region of the H+-ATPase subunit 8 in two of the strains. The assembled complex, however, exhibited reduced [32Pi]ATP exchange activity and low sensitivity to oligomycin, indicating that the product of the aap1 gene is a functional subunit of the mitochondrial H+-ATPase.  相似文献

The H+-ATPase complex from pea chloroplasts was isolated and partially purified. The complex incorporated into the phospholipid membrane can catalyze the 32Pi-ATP exchange reaction. The complex contains eight types of the subunits, five of which belong to the catalytic and three--to the hydrophobic moieties. The molecular weights of the subunits were determined.  相似文献

During reconstitution of pig heart mitochondrial H+-ATPase in soybean phospholipid liposomes by the cholate dialysis method, Mg2+ greatly enhances 32Pi-ATP exchange activity, ATPase activity and the sensitivity to oligomycin of the reconstituted enzyme complex. The effect of Mg2+ on the fluidity of the reconstituted proteoliposomes was measured by means of a fluoursecent probe. 1-anilinonaphthalene ?e-8-sulfonate, and spin-label probes, 5-nitroxide stearate, 12-nitroxide stearate and 16-nitroxide stearate. A difference in fluidity seems to be localized near the polar faces of the lipid bilayers of the reconstituted proteolipsomes. Fluidity was less in the presence of Mg2+ than it is absence. The conformations of the Mg2+-containing proteoliposomes was higher. We postulate that Mg2+ may play a role in altering the fluidity of the proteoliposomes, which would favor the formation of a conformation of the reconstituted H+-ATPase with higher activity.  相似文献

1. The proton-translocating adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) of bovine heart mitochondria was highly purified by extraction of submitochondrial particles with cholate, fractionation with ammonium sulfate, and sucrose gradient centrifugation in the presence of methanol, deoxycholate, and lysolecithin. 2. The preparation had a very low content of phospholipids, respiratory components, and adenine nucleotide transporter. The ATPase activity (14 o 16 micromoles/min/mg at 30 degrees) was dependent on addition of phospholipids. The purified enzyme was reconstituted with phospholipids, coupling factor 1 (F1), and the oligomycin sensitivity-conferring protein (OSCP) yielding vesicles with highly active 32Pi-ATP exchange (up to 260 nanomoles/min/mg at 30 degrees), and a proton pump driven by ATP. Site III oxidative phosphorylation was reconstituted when purified cytochrome oxidase was included. 3.The 32Pi-ATP exchange of the reconstituted vesicles was sensitive to both rutamycin and dichylohexylcarbodiimide but the ATPase activity was sensitive to rutamycin and not to dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. 4. In sodium dodecyl sulfate-acrylamide gel scans of the complex, the subunits of F1, OSCP, and three other major bands with apparent molecular weights of 32,000, 23,000, and about 11,000 were noted. Three other minor bands with estimated molecular weights of 80,000, 70,000, and 52,000 were also detected. These bands apparently represent residual trace amounts of respiratory components. Quantitative assays of individual respiratory components revealed between 0 and 3% contamination. 5. We conclude that the rutamycin-sensitive ATPase complex functions as a reversible ATP-driven proton pump.  相似文献
