The a and b subunits constitute the stator elements in the F0 sector of F1F0-ATP synthase.Both subunits have been difficult to study by physical means, so most of the information onstructure and function relationships in the a and b subunits has been obtained using mutagenesisin combination with biochemical methods. These approaches were used to demonstrate thatthe a subunit in association with the ring of c subunits houses the proton channel throughF1F0-ATP synthase. The map of the amino acids contributing to the proton channel is probablycomplete. The two b subunits dimerize, forming an extended flexible unit in the peripheralstalk linking the F1 and F0 sectors. The unique characteristics of specific amino acid substitutionsaffecting the a and b subunits suggested differential effects on rotation during F1F0-ATPaseactivity. 相似文献

ATP synthases, widely distributed in bacteria, eukaryotic mitochondria and chloroplasts, are highly conserved multi-subunit
complexes. Although the conserved acidic residue in the transmembrane helix of the c subunit functions in H+ transport, the surrounding residues differ among species. Such divergence could lead to different regulatory modes since
pH-dependent H+ transport has been demonstrated in E. coli with a c subunit carrying an additional acidic residue in the helix. There is further divergence in the number of c subunits that form the ring structure which is determined by the higher ordered structure. Recently, it was suggested that
certain chemicals recognize the a and c subunits of pathogenic bacterial F0. Since there may be structural divergence even in well-conserved ATP synthases, the c subunit-ring as well as the a subunit in F0 could be targets for drugs for specific bacterial species. 相似文献

The insertion of inner membrane proteins in Escherichia coli occurs almost exclusively via the SecYEG pathway, while some membrane proteins require the membrane protein insertase YidC. In vitro analysis demonstrates that subunit a of the F1F0 ATP synthase (F0a) is strictly dependent on Ffh, SecYEG and YidC for its membrane insertion but independent of the proton motive force. The insertion of the first transmembrane segment of F0a also depends on Ffh and SecYEG but not on YidC, whereas the insertion is strongly dependent on the proton motive force, unlike the full-length F0a protein. These data demonstrate an extensive role of YidC in the assembly of the F0 sector of the F1F0 ATP synthase. 相似文献

Summary The atp operon from the extreme alkaliphile Bacillus firmus OF4 was cloned and sequenced, and shown to contain genes for the eight structural subunits of the ATP synthase, preceded by a ninth gene predicted to encode a 14 kDa hydrophobic protein. The arrangement of genes is identical to that of the atp operons from Escherichia coli, Bacillus megaterium, and thermophilic Bacillus PS3. The deduced amino acid sequences of the subunits of the enzyme are also similar to their homologs in other ATP synthases, except for several unusual substitutions, particularly in the a and c subunits. These substitutions are in domains that have been implicated in the mechanism of proton translocation through F0-ATPase, and therefore could contribute to the gating properties of the alkaliphile ATP synthase or its capacity for proton capture. 相似文献

A Biological Molecular Motor, Proton-Translocating ATP Synthase: Multidisciplinary Approach for a Unique Membrane Enzyme 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Proton-translocating ATP synthase (FoF1) synthesizes ATP from ADP and phosphate, coupled with an electrochemical proton gradient across the biological membrane. It has been established that the rotation of a subunit assembly is an essential feature of the enzyme mechanism and that FoF1 can be regarded as a molecular motor. Thus, experimentally, in the reverse direction (ATP hydrolysis), the chemical reaction drives the rotation of a c
10-14 subunit assembly followed by proton translocation. We discuss our very recent results regarding subunit rotation in Escherichia coli FoF1 with a combined biophysical and mutational approach. 相似文献

Membrane-bound ATP synthases (F1F0) catalyze the synthesis of ATP via a rotary catalyticmechanism utilizing the energy of an electrochemical ion gradient. The transmembrane potentialis supposed to propel rotation of a subunit c ring of F0 together with subunits and of F1,hereby forming the rotor part of the enzyme, whereas the remainder of the F1F0 complexfunctions as a stator for compensation of the torque generated during rotation. This reviewfocuses on our recent work on the stator part of the F0 complex, e.g., subunits a and b. Usingepitope insertion and antibody binding, subunit a was shown to comprise six transmembranehelixes with both the N- and C-terminus oriented toward the cytoplasm. By use of circulardichroism (CD) spectroscopy, the secondary structure of subunit b incorporated intoproteoliposomes was determined to be 80% -helical together with 14% turn conformation, providingflexibility to the second stalk. Reconstituted subunit b together with isolated ac subcomplexwas shown to be active in proton translocation and functional F1 binding revealing the nativeconformation of the polypeptide chain. Chemical crosslinking in everted membrane vesiclesled to the formation of subunit b homodimers around residues bQ37 to bL65, whereas bA32Ccould be crosslinked to subunit a, indicating a close proximity of subunits a and b near themembrane. Further evidence for the proposed direct interaction between subunits a and b wasobtained by purification of a stable ab
2 subcomplex via affinity chromatography using Histags fused to subunit a or b. This ab
2 subcomplex was shown to be active in proton translocationand F1 binding, when coreconstituted with subunit c. Consequences of crosslink formationand subunit interaction within the F1F0 complex are discussed. 相似文献

ATPases with unusual membrane-embedded rotor subunits were found in both F1F0 and A1A0 ATP synthases. The rotor subunit c of A1A0 ATPases is, in most cases, similar to subunit c from F0. Surprisingly, multiplied c subunits with four, six, or even 26 transmembrane spans have been found in some archaea and these multiplication events were
sometimes accompanied by loss of the ion-translocating group. Nevertheless, these enzymes are still active as ATP synthases.
A duplicated c subunit with only one ion-translocating group was found along with “normal” F0 c subunits in the Na+ F1F0 ATP synthase of the bacterium Acetobacterium woodii. These extraordinary features and exceptional structural and functional variability in the rotor of ATP synthases may have
arisen as an adaptation to different cellular needs and the extreme physicochemical conditions in the early history of life. 相似文献

F0F1-ATPase structural information gained from X-ray crystallography and electron microscopy has activated interest in a rotational mechanism for the F0F1-ATPase. Because of the subunit stoichiometry and the involvement of both thea- andc-subunits in the mechanism of proton movement, it is argued that relative movement must occur between the subunits. Various options for the arrangement and structure of the subunits involved are discussed and a mechanism proposed. 相似文献

A homodimer of b subunits constitutes the peripheral stalk linking the F1 and F0 sectors of the Escherichia coli ATP synthase. Each b subunit has a single-membrane domain. The constraints on the membrane domain have been studied by systematic mutagenesis. Replacement of a segment proximal to the cytoplasmic side of the membrane had minimal impact on F1F0 ATP synthase. However, multiple substitutions on the periplasmic side resulted in defects in assembly of the enzyme complex. These mutants had insufficient oxidative phosphorylation to support growth, and biochemical studies showed little F1F0 ATPase and no detectable ATP-driven proton pumping activity. Expression of the b
N2A,T6A,Q10A
subunit was also oxidative phosphorylation deficient, but the b
N2A,T6A,Q10A
protein was incorporated into an F1F0 complex. Single amino acid substitutions had minimal reductions in F1F0 ATP synthase function. The evidence suggests that the b subunit membrane domain has several sites of interaction contributing to assembly of F0, and that these interactions are strongest on the periplasmic side of the bilayer. 相似文献

The ATP hydrolysis rate and the ATP hydrolysis-linked proton translocation by the F0F1-ATPase of beef heart submitochondrial particles were examined in the presence of several divalent metal cations. All Me–ATP complexes tested sustained ATP hydrolysis, although to a different extent. However, only Mg- and Mn-ATP-dependent hydrolysis could sustain a high level of proton pumping activity, as determined by acridine fluorescence quenching. Moreover, the K
m of the Me-ATP hydrolysis-induced proton pumping activity was very similar to the K
m value of Me-ATP hydrolysis. Both oligomycin and DCCD caused the full recovery of the fluorescence, providing clear evidence for the association of Mg-ATP hydrolysis with proton translocation through the F0F1-ATPase complex. In contrast, with other Me-ATP complexes, including Ca-ATP as substrate, the proton pumping activity was undetectable, implicating an uncoupling nature for these substrates. Attempts to demonstrate the involvement of the subunit of the enzyme in the coupling mechanism failed, suggesting that the participation of at least the N-terminal segment of the subunit in the coupling mechanism of the mitochondrial enzyme is unlikely. 相似文献

The ATP synthase complex of Klebsiella pneumoniae (KF1F0) has been purified and characterized. SDS-gel electrophoresis of the purified F1F0 complexes revealed an identical subunit pattern for E. coli (EF1F0) and K. pneumoniae. Antibodies raised against EF1 complex and purified EF0 subunits recognized the corresponding polypeptides of EF1F0 and KF1F0 in immunoblot analysis. Protease digestion of the individual subunits generated an identical cleavage pattern for subunits , , , , a, and c of both enzymes. Only for subunit different cleavage products were obtained. The isolated subunit c of both organisms showed only a slight deviation in the amino acid composition. These data suggest that extensive homologies exist in primary and secondary structure of both ATP synthase complexes reflecting a close phylogenetic relationship between the two enterobacteric tribes.Abbreviations ACMA

The mitochondrial ATP synthase is a molecular motor that drives the phosphorylation ofADP to ATP. The yeast mitochondrial ATP synthase is composed of at least 19 differentpeptides, which comprise the F1 catalytic domain, the F0 proton pore, and two stalks, oneof which is thought to act as a stator to link and hold F1 to F0, and the other as a rotor.Genetic studies using yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae have suggested the hypothesis thatthe yeast mitochondrial ATP synthase can be assembled in the absence of 1, and even 2, ofthe polypeptides that are thought to comprise the rotor. However, the enzyme complexassembled in the absence of the rotor is thought to be uncoupled, allowing protons to freelyflow through F0 into the mitochondrial matrix. Left uncontrolled, this is a lethal process andthe cell must eliminate this leak if it is to survive. In yeast, the cell is thought to lose ordelete its mitochondrial DNA (the petite mutation) thereby eliminating the genes encodingessential components of F0. Recent biochemical studies in yeast, and prior studies in E. coli,have provided support for the assembly of a partial ATP synthase in which the ATP synthaseis no longer coupled to proton translocation. 相似文献

We have sought to elucidate how the oligomycin sensitivity-conferring protein (OSCP) of the mitochondrial F1F0-ATP synthase (mtATPase) can influence proton channel function. Variants of OSCP, from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, having amino acid substitutions at a strictly conserved residue (Gly166) were expressed in place of normal OSCP. Cells expressing the OSCP variants were able to grow on nonfermentable substrates, albeit with some increase in generation time. Moreover, these strains exhibited increased sensitivity to oligomycin, suggestive of modification in functional interactions between the F1 and F0 sectors mediated by OSCP. Bioenergetic analysis of mitochondria from cells expressing OSCP variants indicated an increased respiratory rate under conditions of no net ATP synthesis. Using specific inhibitors of mtATPase, in conjunction with measurement of changes in mitochondrial transmembrane potential, it was revealed that this increased respiratory rate was a result of increased proton flux through the F0 sector. This proton conductance, which is not coupled to phosphorylation, is exquisitely sensitive to inhibition by oligomycin. Nevertheless, the oxidative phosphorylation capacity of these mitochondria from cells expressing OSCP variants was no different to that of the control. These results suggest that the incorporation of OSCP variants into functional ATP synthase complexes can display effects in the control of proton flux through the F0 sector, most likely mediated through altered protein—protein contacts within the enzyme complex. This conclusion is supported by data indicating impaired stability of solubilized mtATPase complexes that is not, however, reflected in the assembly of functional enzyme complexes in vivo. Given a location for OSCP atop the F1-33 hexamer that is distant from the proton channel, then the modulation of proton flux by OSCP must occur at a distance. We consider how subtle conformational changes in OSCP may be transmitted to F0. 相似文献

We have proposed a model for the oligomeric c-rotor of the Fo sector of ATP synthase and its interaction with subunit a during H+-transport driven rotation. The model is based upon the solution structure of monomeric subunit c, determined by NMR, and an extensive series of cross-linking distance constraints between c subunits and between subunits c and a. To explain the complete set of cross-linking data, we have suggested that the second transmembrane helix rotates during its interaction with subunit a in the course of the H+-translocation cycle. The H+-transport coupled rotation of this helix is proposed to drive the stepwise movement of the c-oligomeric rotor. The model is testable and provides a useful framework for addressing questions raised by other experiments. 相似文献

The peripheral stalk of F1F0 ATP synthase is composed of a parallel homodimer of b subunits that extends across the cytoplasmic membrane in F0 to the top of the F1 sector. The stalk serves as the stator necessary for holding F1 against movement of the rotor. A series of insertions and deletions have been engineered into the hydrophilic domain that interacts with F1. Only the hydrophobic segment from {val-121} to {ala-132} and the extreme carboxyl terminus proved to be highly sensitive to mutation. Deletions in either site apparently abolished enzyme function as a result of defects is assembly of the F1F0 complex. Other mutations manipulating the length of the sequence between these two areas had only limited effects on enzyme function. Expression of a b subunit with insertions with as few as two amino acids into the hydrophobic segment also resulted in loss of F1F0 ATP synthase. However, a fully defective b subunit with seven additional amino acids could be stabilized in a heterodimeric peripheral stalk within a functional F1F0 complex by a normal b subunit. 相似文献

The vacuolar ATPases (V-type ATPases) are a family of ATP-dependent ion pumps and found in two principal locations, in endomembranes and in plasma membranes. This family of ATPases is responsible for acidification of intracellulare compartments and, in certain cases, ion transport across the plasma membrane of eucaryotic cells. V-ATPases are composed of two distinct domains: a catalytic V1 sector, in which ATP hydrolysis takes place, and the membrane-embedded sector, V0, which functions in ion conduction. In the past decade impressive progress has been made in elucidating the properties structure, function and moleculare biology. These knowledge sheds light also on the evolution of V-ATPases and their related families of A-(A1A0-ATPase) and F-type (F1F0-ATPases)ATPases. 相似文献

Our current work on a vacuolar membrane proton ATPase in the yeastSaccharomyces cerevisiae has revealed that it is a third type of H+-translocating ATPase in the organism. A three-subunit ATPase, which has been purified to near homogeneity from vacuolar membrane vesicles, shares with the native, membrane-bound enzyme common enzymological properties of substrate specificities and inhibitor sensitivities and are clearly distinct from two established types of proton ATPase, the mitochondrial F0F1-type ATP synthase and the plasma membrane E1E2-type H+-ATPase. The vacuolar membrane H+-ATPase is composed of three major subunits, subunita (M
r
=67 kDa),b (57kDa), andc (20 kDa). Subunita is the catalytic site and subunitc functions as a channel for proton translocation in the enzyme complex. The function of subunitb has not yet been identified. The functional molecular masses of the H+-ATPase under two kinetic conditions have been determined to be 0.9–1.1×105 daltons for single-cycle hydrolysis of ATP and 4.1–5.3×105 daltons for multicycle hydrolysis of ATP, respectively.N,N-Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide does not inhibit the former reaction but strongly inhibits the latter reaction. The kinetics of single-cycle hydrolysis of ATP indicates the formation of an enzyme-ATP complex and subsequent hydrolysis of the bound ATP to ADP and Pi at a 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazolesensitive catalytic site. Cloning of structural genes for the three subunits of the H+-ATPase (VMA1, VMA2, andVMA3) and their nucleotide sequence determination have been accomplished, which provide greater advantages for molecular biological studies on the structure-function relationship and biogenesis of the enzyme complex. Bioenergetic aspects of the vacuole as a main, acidic compartment ensuring ionic homeostasis in the cytosol have been described.Abbreviations CCCP

The structural and functional connection between the peripheral catalytic F1 sector and theproton-translocating membrane sector F0 of the mitochondrial ATP synthase is reviewed. Theobservations examined show that the N-terminus of subunit , the carboxy-terminal and centralregion of F0I-PVP(b), OSCP, and part of subunit d constitute a continuous structure, the lateralstalk, which connects the peripheries of F1 to F0 and surrounds the central element of thestalk, constituted by subunits and . The ATPase inhibitor protein (IF1) binds at one sideof the F1F0 connection. The carboxy-terminal segment of IF1 apparently binds to OSCP. The42L-58K segment of IF1, which is per se the most active domain of the protein, binds at thesurface of one of the three / pairs of F1, thus preventing the cyclic interconversion of thecatalytic sites required for ATP hydrolysis. 相似文献

In Escherichia coli, the F1FO ATP synthase b subunits house a conserved arginine in the tether domain at position 36 where the subunit emerges from the membrane. Previous
experiments showed that substitution of isoleucine or glutamate result in a loss of enzyme activity. Double mutants have been
constructed in an attempt to achieve an intragenic suppressor of the b
arg36→ile and the b
arg36→glu mutations. The b
arg36→ile mutation could not be suppressed. In contrast, the phenotypic defect resulting from the b
arg36→glu mutation was largely suppressed in the b
arg36→glu,glu39→arg double mutant. E. coli expressing the b
arg36→glu,glu39→arg subunit grew well on succinate-based medium. F1FO ATP synthase complexes were more efficiently assembled and ATP driven proton pumping activity was improved. The evidence
suggests that efficient coupling in F1FO ATP synthase is dependent upon a basic amino acid located at the base of the peripheral stalk. 相似文献

The chloroplast F0F1-ATP synthase-ATPase is a tiny rotary motor responsible for coupling ATP synthesis and hydrolysis to the light-driven electrochemical
proton gradient. Reversible oxidation/reduction of a dithiol, located within a special regulatory domain of the γ subunit
of the chloroplast F1 enzyme, switches the enzyme between an inactive and an active state. This regulatory mechanism is unique to the ATP synthases
of higher plants and its physiological significance lies in preventing nonproductive depletion of essential ATP pools in the
dark. The three-dimensional structure of the chloroplast F1 gamma subunit has not yet been solved. To examine the mechanism of dithiol regulation, a model of the chloroplast gamma subunit
was obtained through segmental homology modeling based on the known structures of the mitochondrial and bacterial γ subunits,
together with de novo construction of the unknown regulatory domain. The model has provided considerable insight into how the dithiol might modulate
catalytic function. This has, in turn, suggested a mechanism by which rotation of subunits in F0, the transmembrane proton channel portion of the enzyme, can be coupled, via the ε subunit, to rotation of the γ subunit
of F1 to achieve the 120° (or 90°+30°) stepping action that is characteristic of F1 γ subunit rotation. 相似文献
