It is known that the negatively stained preparations of inner mitochondrial membrane display characteristic ∼9 nmF
1 (ATPase) knobs projecting from the matrix surface. Freeze-etch studies have reported the absence of such knobs from the “etched”
surface of the inner mitochondrial membranes. We have demonstrated their presence on the surface of SMP (submitochondrial
particles) prepared by freeze-drying for transmission electron microscopy. This identification has been substantiated by comparison
with the freeze-dried TU particles (trypsin-urea treated SMP) that are devoid ofF
1 (ATPase). It has been suggested that a layer of water molecules is strongly adsorbed to the surface of SMP and does not sublime
during normal freeze-“etching.” 相似文献

A preparation of soluble mitochondrial ATPase (coupling factor F1) containing no gamma and delta minor subunits has been isolated. The minor-subunits-deficient F1 was found to be competent in ATP hydrolysis. However, it did not demonstrate a "coupling" effect in EDTA-submitochondrial particles. A portion of the ATPase activity of EDTA particles, stimulated by the minor-subunits-deficient F1, was insensitive to oligomycin. ATPase activity of Na+-particles was changed only slightly by this F1. It is suggested that gamma and delta subunits are necessary to form specific contacts between the F1 molecule and components of the mitochrondrial membrane. 相似文献

The differential scanning calorimetry trace of F1ATPase, prepared from beef heart submitochondrial particles, has a single sharp endothermic transition at 80.5 +/- 1.0 degrees C and a half-height peak width of 2.0 +/- 0.2 degrees. The transition enthalpy is 19 +/- 2 cal/g of protein. Submitochondrial particles (SMP) have a similar peak at 75.1 +/- 0.5 degrees C with a half-height peak width of 1.8 +/- 0.1 degrees and an enthalpy of 5 +/- 1 cal/g of SMP protein. The SMP transition is provisionally identified as being due to membrane-bound F1ATPase. Tetracaine and dibucaine cause these transitions to shift to lower temperatures; addition of 0.3 mM dibucaine gives peaks at 71.7 and 64.9 degrees C for F1ATPase and SMP, respectively, and 1.0 mM tetracaine gives peaks at 70.0 and 60.5 degrees C for F1ATPase and SMP, respectively. These anesthetic concentrations also give appreciable inhibition of enzyme activity at 25 degrees C. We conclude that the local anesthetics induce conformational alterations in the F1ATPase-protein complex which result both in enzyme inhibition and in the lowering of the thermal denaturation transition temperature. 相似文献

The problem of the resolution and reconstitution of the inner mitochondrial membrane has been approached at three levels. (1) Starting with phosphorylating submitochondrial particles, a "resolution from without" can be achieved by stripping of surface components. The most extensive resolution was recently obtained with the aid of silicotungstate. Such particles require for oxidative phosphorylation the addition of several coupling factors as well as succinate dehydrogenase. (2) Starting with submitochondrial particles that have been degraded by trypsin and urea a resolution of the inner membrane proper containing an ATPase has been achieved. These experiments show that at least five components are required for the reconstitution of an oligomycin-sensitive ATPase: a particulate component, F
1, Mg++, phospholipids, and Fc. Morphologically, the reconstituted ATPase preparations resemble submitochondrial particles. (3) Starting with intact mitochondria individual components of the oxidation chain have been separated from each other. The following components were required for the reconstitution of succinoxidase: succinate dehydrogenase, cytochrome b\, cytochrome c
1, cytochrome c, cytochrome oxidase, phospholipids and Q
10. The reconstituted complex had properties similar to those of phosphorylating submitochondrial particles; i.e., the oxidation of succinate by molecular oxygen was highly sensitive to antimycin. 相似文献

1. F1-ATPase has been extracted by the diphosphatidylglycerol procedure from mitochondrial ATPase complexes that differ in ATPase activity, cold stability, ATPase inhibitor and magnesium content. 2. The ATPase activity of the isolated enzymes was dependent upon the activity of the original particles. In this respect, F1-ATPase extracted from submitochondrial particles prepared in ammonia (pH 9.2) and filtered through Sephadex G-50 was comparable to the enzyme purified by conventional procedures (Horstman, L.L. and Racker, E. (1970) J. Biol. Chem. 245, 1336--1344), whereas F1-ATPase extracted from submitochondrial particles prepared in the presence of magnesium and ATP at neutral pH was similar to factor A (Andreoli, T.E., Lam, K.W. and Sanadi, D.R. (1965) J. Biol. Chem. 240, 2644--2653). 3. No systematic relationship has been found in these F1-ATPase preparations between their ATPase inhibitor content and ATPase activity. Rather, a relationship has been observed between this activity and the efficiency of the ATPase inhibitor-F1-ATPase association within the membrane. 4. It is concluded that the ATPase activity of isolated F1-ATPase reflects the properties of original ATPase complex provided a rapid and not denaturing procedure of isolation is employed. 相似文献

Rat testis mitochondrial ATPase was not inhibited by oligomycin at pH 7.5. It was inhibited only at higher alkaline pH's, and showed a lower sensitivity both to oligomycin and N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and a higher one to efrapeptin. In submitochondrial particles, testis ATPase was only slightly inhibited by oligomycin, ossamycin, and efrapeptin. The possibility of a loose binding of F1 to the membrane was supported by its recovery from the supernatant of the submitochondrial particles. Furthermore, by electron microscopy, after hypoosmotic shock and negative staining of the mitochondrial preparations, most of the inner mitochondrial membranes showed only a few “knobs” or none at all. The capacity of the testis mitochondrial preparation to produce ATP was tested and compared to that from liver. ATP synthetase/ATPase activity ratio was in liver mitochondria, whereas in the testis it was . In spite of this large difference, at least part of the testis ATPase must be firmly bound to the membrane, since it is able to form ATP. The rest seems to be loosely bound and its functional significance is still unknown. 相似文献

Bovine heart F1-adenosinetriphosphatase (F1) was labeled specifically and precisely with 7-chloro-4-nitro-2,1,3-[14C]benzoxadiazole ([14C]NBD-Cl). The stereospecifically labeled F1 (O-beta'-[14C]-NBD-F1) was partially reactivated by LiCl treatment, which could cause rearrangement of the beta subunits to form O-beta', beta'-[14C]NBD-F1. Both labeled enzymes were used to combine with F1-deficient submitochondrial particles (ASU) to form the reconstituted particles O-beta'-NBD-F1-ASU and O-beta', beta'-NBD-F1-ASU, respectively. A comparison of the observed steady-state rates of catalytic ATP hydrolysis and oxidative phosphorylation by these specifically labeled submitochondrial particles (SMP) with those of the unlabeled control samples suggests that oxidative phosphorylation involves more active sites of F1 than catalytic ATP hydrolysis. A comparison of the observed ATPase activity of uncoupled labeled SMP and the activity for ATP-driven reverse electron transport in coupled labeled SMP with the corresponding values of the unlabeled control samples shows that the observed fractional inhibition ATP hydrolysis is the same for both the coupled SMP and uncoupled SMP and is determined only by the state of stereospecific labeling of F1. The effect of preincubation under simulated oxidative phosphorylation conditions on the ATPase activity of the unperturbed, specifically NBD-labeled submitochondrial particles was also examined. The data show that respiration-generated proton flux does not cause the beta subunits in bovine heart proton-ATPase to continue switching places with each other during oxidative phosphorylation. Samples of NBD-F1 with specific labels on its nonhydrolytic beta' subunits but none on its hydrolytic beta' subunit were prepared by a three-cycle process.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

In mitochondria and submitochondrial particles (SMP), the rate of ATP synthesis is restricted by the rate of energy production by the respiratory chain. Fractional inactivation of the ATP synthase complexes (F0F1) of bovine heart SMP by covalent modifiers increased the rate of ATP synthesis per mole of active F0F1. Thus, by use of SMP containing fractionally inactivated F0F1 complexes, a synthetic rate of 420 mol of ATP (mol of F0F1.s)-1 was measured, which extrapolated to a Vmax of 440 s-1. At this extrapolated point, the turnover rate of F0F1 complexes was independent of the rate of energy production by the respiratory chain. These results have been discussed in relation to the effect of fractional inactivation of the F0F1 complexes of SMP on the steady-state free energy of the system. The above rate of ATP synthesis is comparable to the rate of ATP hydrolysis by SMP (400-520 s-1) in the absence of energy coupling constraints and control by the ATPase inhibitor protein. More interestingly, this rate is also comparable to the rate of ATP synthesis by chloroplast F0F1 under high light intensity (approximately 420 s-1). Under the conditions specified, bovine heart SMP and chloroplasts show similar apparent Km values for ADP. Thus, it appears that the mammalian and chloroplast ATP synthase complexes are similar not only in structure but also in catalytic efficiency for ATP synthesis. 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 beta, delta, and epsilon subunits of the F, ATPase and largely devoid of alpha and gamma 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 Pi-ATP exchange activities. The addition of F1 (400 micrograms X 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 Pi-ATP exchange and H+ -pumping activities require coupling factor B in addition to F1-ATPase. The oligomycin-sensitive ATPase and 32Pi-ATP exchange activities in reconstituted F1-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 F1-F0 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 Pi-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 F0 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).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Stoichiometry of subunit e in rat liver mitochondrial H(+)-ATP synthase and membrane topology of its putative Ca(2+)-dependent regulatory region 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Previous studies have revealed that residues 34-65 of subunit e of mitochondrial H(+)-ATP synthase are homologous with the Ca(2+)-dependent tropomysin-binding region for troponin T and have suggested that subunit e could be involved in the Ca(2+)-dependent regulation of H(+)-ATP synthase activity. In this study, we determined the content of subunit e in H(+)-ATP synthase purified from rat liver mitochondria, and we also investigated the membrane topology of a putative Ca(2+)-dependent regulatory region of subunit e using an antibody against peptide corresponding to residues 34-65 of subunit e. Quantitative immunoblot analysis of subunit e in the purified H(+)-ATP synthase revealed that 1 mol of H(+)-ATP synthase contained 2 mol of subunit e. The ATPase activity of mitoplasts, in which the C-side of F(0) is present on the outer surface of the inner membrane, was significantly stimulated by the addition of the antibody, while the ATPase activity of submitochondrial particles and purified H(+)-ATP synthase was not stimulated. The antibody bound to mitoplasts but not to submitochondrial particles. These results suggest that the putative Ca(2+)-dependent regulatory region of subunit e is exposed on the surface of the C-side of F(0) and that subunit e is involved in the regulation of mitochondrial H(+)-ATP synthase activity probably via its putative Ca(2+)-dependent regulatory region. 相似文献

A study of the FoF1 ATPase complex of mitochondria isolated from regenerating rat liver following partial (70%) hepatectomy is presented. As we have previously reported, ATPase activity in submitochondrial particles prepared from regenerating rat liver 24 h following partial hepatectomy was depressed by 75% with respect to controls (submitochondrial particles from sham-operated animals). Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunodecoration using an antibody raised against isolated bovine heart F1 sector of the FoF1 ATPase indicated a substantial decrease in F1 content in the mitochondrial membrane from regenerating rat liver. Proton conduction by the FoF1 ATPase complex was studied by following the anaerobic relaxation of the transmembrane proton gradient (delta mu H+) generated by succinate-driven respiration. In control rat-liver submitochondrial particles containing the FoF1 moiety of the ATPase complex, anaerobic relaxation of delta mu H+ showed biphasic kinetics, whilst the same process in particles derived from regenerating rat liver exhibited monophasic kinetics and was significantly more rapid. Oligomycin and N,N-dicyclohexyl carbodiimide [(cHxN)2C] inhibited proton conductance by the F1-Fo ATPase complex in submitochondrial particles from both control and regenerating rat liver. Binding of [14C](cHxN)2C and immunodecoration using an antibody raised against bovine heart oligomycin-sensitivity-conferring protein (OSCP) indicated no difference in the content of either the (cHxN)2C binding protein or OSCP between control and regenerating rat-liver mitochondrial membranes. The results reported show that the structural and functional integrity of the Fo-F1 ATPase of rat liver is severely perturbed during regeneration. 相似文献

Physical fixation by rapid freezing followed by freeze-fracture and deep-etching has provided the means for potentially seeing the three-dimensional arrangement in the native state of particles on mitochondrial inner membranes. We have used these techniques to study the tubular cristae of Paramecium in the hope of determining the arrangement of F1 complexes, their abundance, and location in the membranes. We also sought information regarding other respiratory complexes in these membranes. Our results, supported by stereo pairs, show that F1 complexes are arranged as a double row of particles spaced at 12 nm along each row as a zipper following the full length of the outer curve of the helically shaped tubular cristae. There are an average of 1,500 highly ordered F1 complexes per micrometer squared of 50-nm tubular cristae surface. The F1 complexes definitely lie outside the membranes in their native state. Other particle subsets, also nonrandomly arrayed, were seen. One such population located along the inner helical curve consisted of large 13-nm-wide particles that were spaced at 30 nm center-to-center. Such particles, because of their large size and relative abundance when compared to F1 units, resemble complex I of the respiratory complexes. Any models attempting to understand the coupling of respiratory complexes with F0F1 ATPase in Paramecium must take into account a relatively high degree of order and potential immobility of at least some of these integral membrane complexes. 相似文献

The interactions of long chain (greater than C7), alkyl compounds with tightly coupled, beef heart submitochondrial particles (SMP) have been investigated with respect to their effects upon respiratory chain-linked electron transfer and energy coupling capacity. Long chain alkyl alcohols, amines, free fatty acids, and methyl esters exhibit a general uncoupling effect, with stimulation of the succinate oxidase activity but inhibition of the NADH oxidase, in SMP. The degree of effectiveness is dependent on the nature of the functional group and the length of the alkyl chain. Submitochondrial particles depleted of F1 and the F1-inhibitor protein are similarly affected. Subsequent treatment with bovine serum albumin reverses the effects of free fatty acids and results in partial recovery of activity with alkyl amines, alcohols, and methyl esters. Differences between the effects of these alkyl compounds and those of sodium dodecyl sulfate, deoxycholate, palmitoyl carnitine, and palmitoyl CoA rule out detergent-like action as the explanation for these observations. These data suggest that specific lipophilic interactions with the membrane, modulated by the nature of the functional group, are responsible for the effects of these compounds on the energy transducing system of SMP. Analyses of the reduction kinetics of the cytochromes indicate that the sites of interaction of these compounds with the inner mitochondrial membrane are associated with the primary dehydrogenase of complex I and energy coupling site 2; alkyl amines possess an additional site of interaction in the region of complex III. 相似文献

The mitochondrial import and assembly of the F1ATPase subunits requires, respectively, the participation of the molecular chaperones hsp70SSA1 and hsp70SSC1 and other components operating on opposite sides of the mitochondrial membrane. In previous studies, both the homology and the assembly properties of the F1ATPase alpha-subunit (ATP1p) compared to the groEL homologue, hsp60, have led to the proposal that this subunit could exhibit chaperone-like activity. In this report the extent to which this subunit participates in protein transport has been determined by comparing import into mitochondria that lack the F1ATPase alpha-subunit (delta ATP1) versus mitochondria that lack the other major catalytic subunit, the F1ATPase beta-subunit (delta ATP2). Yeast mutants lacking the alpha-subunit but not the beta-subunit grow much more slowly than expected on fermentable carbon sources and exhibit delayed kinetics of protein import for several mitochondrial precursors such as the F1 beta subunit, hsp60MIF4 and subunits 4 and 5 of the cytochrome oxidase. In vitro and in vivo the F1 beta-subunit precursor accumulates as a translocation intermediate in absence of the F1 alpha-subunit. In the absence of both the ATPase subunits yeast grows at the same rate as a strain lacking only the beta-subunit, and import of mitochondrial precursors is restored to that of wild type. These data indicate that the F1 alpha-subunit likely functions as an "assembly partner" to influence protein import rather than functioning directly as a chaperone. These data are discussed in light of the relationship between the import and assembly of proteins in mitochondria. 相似文献

1. The mitochondrial adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) of Acanthamoeba castellanii is Mg2+-requiring (optimum cation: ATP ratio of 1.5) and has two pH optima of activity (at pH 6.6 and 8.1). 2. ATPase activity of submitochondrial particles is effectively inhibited by twelve different inhibitors of energy conservation suggesting similarities in inhibitor-binding sites to other previously characterized complexes. 3. Gel filtration by passage through Sephadex G-50 increases ATPase activity of submitochondrial particles between 1.5 and 3.5 fold indicating the presence of a low molecular weight inhibitor protein. 4. After removal of the inhibitor protein, sensitivity to inhibitors of energy conservation decreases by between 1.5 and 14 fold. Crude F1-inhibitor preparations from A. castellanii, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Tetrahymena pyriformis and bovine heart also inhibit ATPase activity. 5. Large variations in ATPase activity, F1-inhibitor protein activity, and amounts of immunologically-determined ATPase protein were observed during exponential growth, and the correlation between changes in these measurements is discussed. 6. The results are also discussed highlighting the similarities between the mitochondrial ATPase of A. castellanii and other mitochondrial ATPases. 相似文献

1. The oligomycin-sensitive ATPase activity of submitochondrial particles of the glycerol-grown "petite-negative" yeast: Schizosaccharomyces pombe is markedly stimulated by incubation at 40 degrees C and by trypsin activations are treatment. Both increased in Triton-X 100 extracts of the submitochondrial particles. 2. A trypsin-sensitive inhibitory factor of mitochondrial ATPase with properties similar to that of beef heart has been extracted and purified from glycerol-grown and glucose-grown S. pombe wild type, from the nuclear pleiotropic respiratory-deficient mutant S. pombe M126 and from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. 3. ATPase activation by heat is more pronounced in submitochondrial particles isolated from glycerol-grown than from glucose-grown S. pombe. An activation of lower extent is observed in rat liver mitochondrial particles but is barely detectable in the "petite-positive" yeast: S. cerevisiae. No activation but inhibition by heat is observed in the pleitotropic respiratory-deficient nuclear mutant S. pombe M126. 4. The inhibition of S. pombe ATPase activity by low concentrations of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide dissapears at inhibitor concentrations above 25 muM. In Triton-extract of submitochondrial particles net stimulation of ATPase activity is observed at 100 muM dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The pattern of stimulation of ATPase activity by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide in different genetic and physiological conditions parallels that produced by heat and trypsin. A similar mode of action is therefore proposed for the three agents: dissociation or inactivation of an ATPase inhibitory factor. 5. We conclude that "petite-positive" and "petite-negative" yeasts contain an ATPase inhibitor factor with properties similar to those of the bovine mitochondrial ATPase inhibitor. The expression of the ATPase inhibitor, measured by ATPase activation by heat, trypsin or high concentrations of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, is sensitive to alterations of the hydrophobic membrane environment and dependent on both physiological state and genetic conditions of the yeast cells. 相似文献

It was found that mitochondrial oligomycin-sensitive ATPase (OS-ATPase) possesses the esterase activity with respect to some carboxylic acid esters with phenols and arylalcane alcohols. The substrate specificity of the esterase found was studied. The effects of some inhibitors and activators of ATPase on the enzyme activity were demonstrated. It was found that ADP inhibits the enzyme from submitochondrial particles containing factor F1 and does not inhibit the enzyme from the particles devoid of this factor. The data obtained suggest that esterase is localized in the hydrophobic part of the oligomycin-sensitive ATPase complex and are indicative of the functional interrelationship between the esterase and ATPase activities. 相似文献

Selective localization of Bcl-2 to the inner mitochondrial and smooth endoplasmic reticulum membranes in mammalian cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Bcl-2, an anti-apoptotic protein, is believed to be localized in the outer mitochondrial membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, and nuclear envelope. However, Bcl-2 has also been suggested as playing a role in the maintenance of mitochondrial membrane potential, indicating its possible association with the inner mitochondrial membrane. We therefore further examined the exact localization of Bcl-2 in mitochondria purified from wild-type and bcl-2-transfected PC12 cells and pre- and postnatal rat brains. Double immunostaining demonstrated that Bcl-2 was co-localized with subunit beta of F1F0ATPase in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Biochemical analysis of isolated mitochondria using digitonin and trypsin suggests an association of Bcl-2 with the inner mitochondrial membrane. More interestingly, the majority of Bcl-2 disappeared from the inner membrane of mitochondria when cultured under serum deprivation. These results suggest that Bcl-2 acts as an anti-apoptotic regulator by localizing mainly to the inner mitochondrial and smooth ER membranes. 相似文献
