The chloroplast ATP synthase in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. I. Characterization of its nine constitutive subunits 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
We have characterized the subunit composition of the chloroplast ATP synthase from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii by means of a comparison of the polypeptide deficiencies in a mutant defective in photophosphorylation, with the polypeptide content in purified coupling factor (CF)1 and CF1.CF0 complexes. We could distinguish nine subunits in the enzyme, four of which were CF0 subunits. Further characterization of these subunits was undertaken by immunoblotting experiments, [14C]dicyclohexylcarbodiimide binding and analysis of their site of translation. In particular, we were able to show the presence of an as yet unidentified delta subunit in CF1 from C. reinhardtii. We have identified a 70-kDa peripheral membrane protein in the thylakoid membranes of C. reinhardtii, which is immunologically related to the beta subunit of CF1. We discuss its conceivable ATPase function with respect to the Ca2+-dependent ATPase activity previously reported in the thylakoid membranes from C. reinhardtii. 相似文献

The atp6 gene, encoding the ATP6 subunit of F(1)F(0)-ATP synthase, has thus far been found only as an mtDNA-encoded gene. However, atp6 is absent from mtDNAs of some species, including that of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Analysis of C. reinhardtii expressed sequence tags revealed three overlapping sequences that encoded a protein with similarity to ATP6 proteins. PCR and 5'- and 3'-RACE were used to obtain the complete cDNA and genomic sequences of C. reinhardtii atp6. The atp6 gene exhibited characteristics of a nucleus-encoded gene: Southern hybridization signals consistent with nuclear localization, the presence of introns, and a codon usage and a polyadenylation signal typical of nuclear genes. The corresponding ATP6 protein was confirmed as a subunit of the mitochondrial F(1)F(0)-ATP synthase from C. reinhardtii by N-terminal sequencing. The predicted ATP6 polypeptide has a 107-amino acid cleavable mitochondrial targeting sequence. The mean hydrophobicity of the protein is decreased in those transmembrane regions that are predicted not to participate directly in proton translocation or in intersubunit contacts with the multimeric ring of c subunits. This is the first example of a mitochondrial protein with more than two transmembrane stretches, directly involved in proton translocation, that is nucleus-encoded. 相似文献

Unlike most organisms, the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a green alga, does not encode subunit 6 of F(0)F(1)-ATP synthase. We hypothesized that C. reinhardtii ATPase 6 is nucleus encoded and identified cDNAs and a single-copy nuclear gene specifying this subunit (CrATP6, with eight exons, four of which encode a mitochondrial targeting signal). Although the algal and human ATP6 genes are in different subcellular compartments and the encoded polypeptides are highly diverged, their secondary structures are remarkably similar. When CrATP6 was expressed in human cells, a significant amount of the precursor polypeptide was targeted to mitochondria, the mitochondrial targeting signal was cleaved within the organelle, and the mature polypeptide was assembled into human ATP synthase. In spite of the evolutionary distance between algae and mammals, C. reinhardtii ATPase 6 functioned in human cells, because deficiencies in both cell viability and ATP synthesis in transmitochondrial cell lines harboring a pathogenic mutation in the human mtDNA-encoded ATP6 gene were overcome by expression of CrATP6. The ability to express a nucleus-encoded version of a mammalian mtDNA-encoded protein may provide a way to import other highly hydrophobic proteins into mitochondria and could serve as the basis for a gene therapy approach to treat human mitochondrial diseases. 相似文献

The algae of the family Chlamydomonadaceae lack the gene cox3 that encodes subunit III of cytochrome c oxidase in their mitochondrial genomes. This observation has raised the question of whether this subunit is present in cytochrome c oxidase or whether the corresponding gene is located in the nucleus. Cytochrome c oxidase was isolated from the colorless chlamydomonad Polytomella spp., and the existence of subunit III was established by immunoblotting analysis with an antibody directed against Saccharomyces cerevisiae subunit III. Based partly upon the N-terminal sequence of this subunit, oligodeoxynucleotides were designed and used for polymerase chain reaction amplification, and the resulting product was used to screen a cDNA library of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The complete sequences of the cox3 cDNAs from Polytomella spp. and C. reinhardtii are reported. Evidence is provided that the genes for cox3 are encoded by nuclear DNA, and the predicted polypeptides exhibit diminished physical constraints for import as compared with mitochondrial-DNA encoded homologs. This indicates that transfer of this gene to the nucleus occurred before Polytomella diverged from the photosynthetic Chlamydomonas lineage and that this transfer may have occurred in all chlamydomonad algae. 相似文献

Using a cDNA microarray technique, we analyzed the expression profile of 1081 genes in the whole heart tissue of rats. The expressions of three classes of genes encoding cellular energy metabolism enzymes, transmembrane receptors, and intracellular kinase network members were reduced by more than 2.5-fold in cardiac tissues from the rats fed with nicotine (3mg/kg/day) for 3 months. The down-regulated 11 genes included mitochondrial ATP synthase beta subunit, mitochondrial H(+) transporting ATP synthase F1 complex alpha subunit isoform 1, liver mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2, glutathione-S-transferase mu type 2, corticotropin-releasing factor receptor 2, metabotropic glutamate receptor 2, N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor subtype 2B, muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M3, transmembrane receptor Unc5H1, glycogen synthase kinase 3alpha, and Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II beta subunit. It appears that chronic nicotine treatment affects cardiac function by modulating the expressions of genes involved in energy metabolism and signal transduction. 相似文献

The chloroplast ATP synthase coupling factor CF1 complex contains five nonidentical subunits, alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon, with a stoichiometry of 3:3:1:1:1. The beta subunit contains the catalytic site for ATP synthesis during photooxidative phosphorylation in the chloroplast. In this study, we have identified two isoforms of the CF1-beta subunit at 56 and 54 kDa in the chloroplast of Brassica rapa, through isolation/purification, proteolytic digestion and internal peptide sequencing. Examining their accumulation pattern demonstrates that both isoforms coexist during chloroplast biogenesis and in mature thylakoid membranes, but the 54 kDa isoform is more apparently upregulated by light or under light stress. LiDS-PAGE shows that the 56 kDa is a major isoform of the CF1-beta subunit under normal light conditions, and its amount was not influenced during high light or other light stress treatments. The 54 kDa isoform is a minor band at normal conditions; however, it significantly increased under excess light stresses, such as high or low light with drought and/or high temperature. Particularly, a ninefold increase was observed after 8-10 h of high light treatment with drought and high temperature. The results suggest that light stress induction of the 54 kDa CF1-beta isoform may present a positive response during chloroplast photoacclimation. 相似文献

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a psychiatric disease considered to polygenic with multiple factors in genetics, each of which is not
dominant but collaborative during pathogenic progression. We describe a method that estimates the collaborative contribution to
the disease between a certain well-studied pathway and the other candidate pathway using Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA).
We describe a modified GSEA (improved derivation) to identify genes that are significantly and differentially expressed between
disease and non-disease states and that are consistently co-expressed with a target pathway which is deeply related to disease
etiology. The modified GSEA uses available gene expression data to identify molecular mechanism (ubiquitin-proteasome and
inflammatory response) associated with the disease. We believe that this approach could reveal hidden relations between a certain
well-studied pathway and the other candidate pathway known in literature.

The nucleotide sequence of the entire nuclear-encoded precursor for subunit delta of the ATP synthase from spinach thylakoid membranes was determined by cDNA sequencing. Appropriate recombinant DNAs were selected from pBR322 and lambda gt11 libraries made from polyadenylated RNA of greening spinach seedlings. The mature protein consists of 187 amino acid residues corresponding to a molecular weight of 20468. The precursor protein (257 amino acid residues; M
r=27676) is probably processed between a Met-Val bond. The predicted secondary structure of the transit sequence (70 residues; 7.2 kDa) resembles that of the Rieske Fe/S polypeptide, but shows little similarity with those of stromal or luminal proteins. The comparison of the chloroplast delta amino acid sequence with the published delta sequences from respiratory ATP synthases of bacterial and mitochondrial sources and from the thylakoid ATP synthase of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus suggests substantial divergence at the genic level although structural elements appear to be remarkably conserved. 相似文献

Coordinate reciprocal trends in glycolytic and mitochondrial transcript accumulations during the in vitro differentiation of human myoblasts 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Changes in the mRNA levels during mammalian myogenesis were compared for seven polypeptides of mitochondrial respiration (the mitochondrial DNA-encoded cytochrome oxidase subunit III, ATP synthase subunit 6, NADH dehydrogenase subunits 1 and 2, and 16S ribosomal RNA; the nuclear encoded ATP synthase beta subunit and the adenine nucleotide translocase) and three polypeptides of glycolysis (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, pyruvate kinase, and triose-phosphate isomerase). Progressive changes during the conversion from myoblasts to myotubes were monitored under both atmospheric oxygen (normoxic) and hypoxic environments. Northern analyses revealed coordinate, biphasic, and reciprocal expression of the respiratory and glycolytic mRNAs during myogenesis. In normoxic cells the mitochondrial respiratory enzymes were highest in myoblasts, declined 3- to 5-fold during commitment and exist from the cell cycle, and increased progressively as the myotubes matured. By contrast, the glycolytic enzyme mRNAs rose 3- to 6-fold on commitment and then progressively declined. When partially differentiated myotubes were switched to hypoxic conditions, the glycolytic enzyme mRNAs increased and the respiratory mRNAs declined. Hence, the developmental regulation of muscle bioenergetic metabolism appears to be regulated at the pretranslational level and is modulated by oxygen tension. 相似文献

Localization of the high-affinity binding site for ATP on the membrane-bound chloroplast ATP synthase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The photoaffinity analog 2-azido-ADP has been used to investigate the high-affinity binding site(s) for ATP on the chloroplast thylakoid membrane. Photophosphorylation of 2-azido-ADP results in the rapid formation of 2-azido-ATP, which remains tightly bound to the membranes after extensive washing. The kinetic parameters of the tight binding of ATP and of 2-azido-ATP are similar (apparent Km = 1-2 microM; maximum extent = 0.2-0.4 nmol/mg of chlorophyll). Ultraviolet irradiation of washed thylakoid membranes containing tightly bound 2-azido-[gamma-32P]ATP induces covalent incorporation of the label exclusively into the beta subunit of the chloroplast coupling factor one. Previous results have shown that the tight binding site for ADP is also located on the beta subunit of the ATP synthase (Czarnecki, J. J., Abbott, M. S., and Selman, B. R. (1983) Eur. J. Biochem. 136, 19-24). To further characterize the tight binding sites for ADP and ATP, the membrane-bound coupling factor has been covalently modified with either tightly bound 2-azido-[gamma-32P]ATP or tightly bound 2-azido-[beta-32P]ADP. The photolabeled beta subunits have been isolated and subjected to partial proteolytic digestion and SDS-gel electrophoresis. The results of these experiments demonstrate that the tight binding sites for ADP and ATP are located on identical portions of beta subunit polypeptide. 相似文献

Pure mitochondria of the photosynthetic alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii were analyzed using blue native-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (BN-PAGE). The major oxidative phosphorylation complexes were resolved: F(1)F(0)-ATP synthase, NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase, ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase, and cytochrome c oxidase. The oligomeric states of these complexes were determined. The F(1)F(0)-ATP synthase runs exclusively as a dimer, in contrast to the C. reinhardtii chloroplast enzyme, which is present as a monomer and subcomplexes. The sequence of a 60-kD protein, associated with the mitochondrial ATP synthase and with no known counterpart in any other organism, is reported. This protein may be related to the strong dimeric character of the algal F(1)F(0)-ATP synthase. The oxidative phosphorylation complexes resolved by BN-PAGE were separated into their subunits by second dimension sodium dodecyl sulfate-PAGE. A number of polypeptides were identified mainly on the basis of their N-terminal sequence. Core I and II subunits of complex III were characterized, and their proteolytic activities were predicted. Also, the heterodimeric nature of COXIIA and COXIIB subunits in cytochrome c oxidase was demonstrated. Other mitochondrial proteins like the chaperone HSP60, the alternative oxidase, the aconitase, and the ADP/ATP carrier were identified. BN-PAGE was also used to approach the analysis of the major chloroplast protein complexes of C. reinhardtii. 相似文献

The green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a model organism for the study of photosynthesis. The chloroplast ATP synthase is responsible for the synthesis of ATP during photosynthesis. Using genetic engineering and biolistic transformation, a string of eight histidine residues has been inserted into the amino-terminal end of the beta subunit of this enzyme in C. reinhardtii. The incorporation of these amino acids did not impact the function of the ATP synthase either in vivo or in vitro and the resulting strain of C. reinhardtii showed normal growth. The addition of these amino acids can be seen through altered gel mobility of the beta subunit and the binding of a polyhistidine-specific dye to the subunit. The purified his-tagged CF1 has normal Mg(2+)-ATPase activity, which can be stimulated by alcohol and detergents and the enzyme remains active while bound to a nickel-coated surface. Potential uses for this tagged enzyme as a biochemical tool are discussed. 相似文献

Yeast cells depleted in Atp14p fail to assemble Atp6p within the ATP synthase and exhibit altered mitochondrial cristae morphology 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Within the yeast mitochondrial ATP synthase, subunit h is a small nuclear encoded protein belonging to the so-called "peripheral stalk" that connects the enzyme catalytic F(1) component to the mitochondrial inner membrane. This study examines the role of subunit h in ATP synthase function and assembly using a regulatable, doxycycline-repressible subunit h gene to overcome the strong instability of the mtDNA previously observed in strains lacking the native subunit h gene. Yeast cells expressing less than 3% of subunit h, but still containing intact mitochondrial genomes, grew poorly on respiratory substrates because of a major impairment of ATP synthesis originating from the ATP synthase, whereas the respiratory chain complexes were not affected. The lack of ATP synthesis in the subunit h-depleted (deltah) mitochondria was attributed to defects in the assembly/stability of the ATP synthase. A main feature of deltah-mitochondria was a very low content (<6%) in the mitochondrially encoded Atp6p subunit, an essential component of the enzyme proton channel, which was in large part because of a slowing down in translation. Interestingly, depletion of subunit h resulted in dramatic changes in mitochondrial cristae morphology, which further supports the existence of a link between the ATP synthase and the folding/biogenesis of the inner mitochondrial membrane. 相似文献

The major mitochondrial processing activity removing presequences from nuclear encoded precursor proteins is present in the soluble fraction of fungal and mammalian mitochondria. We found that in potato, this activity resides in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Surprisingly, the proteolytic activity co-purifies with cytochrome c reductase, a protein complex of the respiratory chain. The purified complex is bifunctional, as it has the ability to transfer electrons from ubiquinol to cytochrome c and to cleave off the presequences of mitochondrial precursor proteins. In contrast to the nine subunit fungal complex, cytochrome c reductase from potato comprises 10 polypeptides. Protein sequencing of peptides from individual subunits and analysis of corresponding cDNA clones reveals that subunit III of cytochrome c reductase (51 kDa) represents the general mitochondrial processing peptidase. 相似文献

The photoaffinity analog 2-azido-ADP (2-azidoadenosine 5'-diphosphate) was used as a probe of the spinach chloroplast ATP synthase. The analog acted as a substrate for photophosphorylation. Several observations suggested that 2-azido-ADP and ADP bound to the same class of tight nucleotide binding sites: (a) 2-azido-ADP competitively inhibited ADP tight binding (Ki = 1.4 microM); (b) the concentration giving 50% maximum binding, K0.5 for analog tight binding (1 microM) was similar to that observed for ADP (2 microM); (c) nucleotide tight binding required prior membrane energization and was completely reversed by re-energization; (d) the tight binding of 2-azido-[beta-32P]ADP was completely prevented by ADP; (e) the analog inhibited the light-triggered ATPase activity at micromolar concentrations. Ultraviolet irradiation of washed thylakoid membranes containing tightly bound 2-azido-[beta-32P]ADP resulted in the covalent incorporation of the label into the membranes. Denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the labeled membranes demonstrated that the beta subunit of the coupling factor one complex was the only polypeptide in the thylakoid membranes which was labeled. These results identify the beta subunit of the coupling factor as the location of the tightly bound ADP on the thylakoid membranes. 相似文献

Two point mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, previously found by recombination and complementation analysis to map in the chloroplast atpB gene encoding the beta subunit of the CF1/CF0 ATP synthase, are here shown to be missense alterations near the 5' end of that gene. One mutant (ac-u-c-2-9) has a change at amino acid position 47 of the beta subunit from leucine (CTA) to arginine (CGA). In the second mutant (ac-u-c-2-29), the codon AAA (lysine) is changed to AAC (asparagine) at position 154. Spontaneous revertants of each mutant were isolated that restore the original wild type base pair. Northern analysis of total RNA and in vivo pulse labeling followed by immunoprecipitation reveals that both mutant atpB genes are transcribed and translated normally. However, immunoblots show that the amount of beta subunit associated with mutant thylakoids is only approximately 3% of that seen in wild type and that the CF1 alpha and gamma subunits are missing entirely. The disruption of ATP synthase complex assembly in these mutants is much more severe than in Escherichia coli beta subunit gene point mutants, which retain significant amounts of alpha and beta subunits on their membranes (Noumi, T., Oka, N., Kanazawa, H., and Futai, M. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 7070-7075). These results support the hypothesis that there are differences in assembly of the ATP synthase between E. coli and chloroplasts. In particular they indicate that beta must be present for assembly of the alpha and gamma subunits of CF1 onto chloroplast membranes. 相似文献

cDNA sequence and predicted primary structure of the gamma subunit from the ATP synthase from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The 1701-base nucleotide sequence (not including the poly(A) tail) of a cDNA for the gamma subunit of the ATP synthase from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was determined. A start translation sequence, 23 bases in from the 5' end, initiates an 1074-base-long open reading frame. The sequence of the first 21 amino acids at the amino-terminal end of the mature gamma subunit from C. reinhardtii was determined and compared to the deduced amino acid sequence of the open reading frame. From this it was determined that the mature protein contains 323 amino acids, with the first 35 amino acids probably being part of the transit peptide. The length of the mature protein is the same as that for the mature gamma subunit from spinach, for which only a few of the amino acids of the transit peptide are known. The similarity of the two mature proteins at the nucleotide level is 56% while at the amino acid level it is 77%. In addition, the 3 cysteines, which in spinach are involved in the energy-linked catalytic functions of the ATP synthase, are conserved in the predicted amino acid sequence for the gamma subunit from C. reinhardtii. In contrast, the mature C. reinhardtii gamma subunit contains 3 additional cysteine residues not found in the spinach gamma subunit. 相似文献
