A large–scale purification procedure for mitochondria from spinach ( Spinacia oteracea L, cv Medania) leaves is described. It involves differential centrifugation and density gradient centrifugation on a self–generating gradient of Percoll, From 3 kg of spinach leaves, 150 mg mitochondrial protein are obtained. The thylakoid contamination is lower than 0.2% on a chlorophyll basis. The mitochondria oxidize malate and glycine with state 3 rates of 108 and 140 nmol (mg protein)-1 min-1 , with respiratory control ratios of 2,7 and 3,8 and ADP/O ratios of 2,0 and 2.1, respectively. The present large–scale purification procedure will facilitate further biochemical and molecular biological studies of leaf mitochondrial proteins.
A pure and active catalytic moiety of the F1 –ATPase (EC 3,6,1,3) was purified from the isolated mitochondria. The yield was 5 mg of F1 –ATPase from 150 mg mitochondria. The F1 –ATPase contained five polypeptides of apparent molecular mass 54 kDa (α), 52 kDa (β), 33 kDa (γ), 22 kDa (ω) and 11 kDa (ɛ). An additional component at 24 kDa was present in variable amounts in some preparations and was therefore not ascribed to the ATPase complex. The enzyme catalyzed ATP hydrolysis at a rate of 12.5 nmol (mg protein)-1 min-1 . Antibodies against the spinach mitochondrial F1 –ATPase cross–reacted only with the a and β subunits of F1 –ATPases of spinach chloroplasts, photosynthetic bacteria Rhodospirillum rubrum and beef heart mitochondria. 相似文献

1. Peptide-elongation factors were purified from rat liver and human tonsils and the contents of cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate were determined in fractions obtained during enzyme purification. The relative contents of this compound in purified enzyme preparations was several times higher than that in the crude starting material. Elongation factors from human tonsils contained a significantly larger quantity of the cholesteryl ester than enzyme from rat liver. 2. Transfer enzymes extracted with various organic solvents showed variable decreased activities in both binding and peptidization assay. The decrease of enzymic activity was proportional to the amount of cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate extracted from a given enzymic preparation. In systems containing both extracted elongation factors the polyphenylalanine synthesis was limited by the residual activity of the less active transfer factor. 3. The original enzymic activity of extracted transferases was fully recovered by the addition of pure cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate in quantities corresponding to those extracted. 4. Increase of the relative contents of this cholesteryl ester during enzyme purification, decrease of the enzymic activity after the extraction and its recovery by the addition of this compound indicates that the presence of this ester in elongation factors is essential for the normal function of these enzymes. 相似文献

The membrane-bound coupling factor from Mycobacterium phlei was solubilized from membrane vesicles by washing with low ionic strength buffer or 0.25 M sucrose. The solubilized enzyme exhibited coupling factor, latent ATPase, and succinate oxidation-stimulating activity. Purification by affinity chromatography using Sepharose coupled to ADP yielded a homogeneous preparation of latent ATPase which was purified about 200-fold with an 84% yield in a single step. Purified latent ATPase exhibited coupling factor activity but no succinate oxidation-stimulating activity. The molecular weight of latent ATPase was determined to be 250,000 +/- 10,000 by Sephadex G-200 chromatography. The ATPase was unmasked by trypsin treatment and activated by Mg2+ ion. However, trypsin treatment inactivated the coupling factor activity in the purified enzyme, indicating that the catalytic sites for ATPase and coupling activity are different. Unlike mitochondrial ATPase, latent ATPase from M. phlei was not cold-labile. Of the nucleoside triphosphates, UTP, ITP, and epsilon-ATP (1-N6-ethenoadenosine triphosphate) were hydrolyzed to a lesser extent compared to ATP. Kinetic data showed that ADP acted as a competitive inhibitor of latent ATPase activity with a Ki of 5 x 10(-3) M. Uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation and respiratory inhibitors did not affect the latent ATPase activity, while sodium azide (0.1 mM) inhibited the latent ATPase activity. 相似文献

An ATPase complex sensitive to the energy transfer inhibitors oligomycin, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and venturicidin has been solubilized from Rhodospirillum rubrum chromatophores with Triton X-100 and further purified by centrifugation on a glycerol gradient. The partially purified RrFo . F1 contains 13 distinct polypeptide subunits, as revealed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, including the subunits of the oligomycin-sensitive, water-soluble RrF1 ATPase. The ATPase activity of RrF0 . F1 as that of the membrane-bound enzyme complex depends on Ca2+ or Mg2+ and from detailed kinetic studies it is concluded that the divalent cation-ATP complex is the substrate for both ATPase complexes. Free ATP and free Mg2+ act as competitive inhibitors, with Ki values of 1 mM and 7 muM, respectively. The subunit composition of the purified RrFo . F1 and its similarity to the membrane-bound ATPase with respect to cation dependence and sensitivity to energy transfer inhibitors suggests that it contains all the subunits of the R. rubrum coupling factor-ATPase complex. 相似文献

1. Prolonged treatment of coupling factor I (CF1) from spinach chloroplasts with trypsin free of chymotrypsin yielded an active ATPase. The isolated preparation showed only two polypeptide chains (mol wt 55,000 to 60,000) on acrylamide gels run in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The three smaller subunits of CF1 were not detectable. The preparation no longer served as a coupling factor for photophosphorylation in either EDTA- or silicotungstate-treated chloroplasts. 2. An antiserum prepared against coupling factor I from chloroplasts inhibited the ATPase activity of the trypsin-treated CF1. In contrast, antisera prepared against the two individual (denatured) subunits did not inhibit the ATPase activity when tested either alone or together, although each interacted with the trypsin-treated protein, forming precipitin lines in Ouchterlony plates. 3. The trypsin-treated enzyme was still cold-labile, showing that the three smaller subunits are not required for this property. However, the enzyme was no longer sensitive to the natural inhibitor protein which is one of its subunits (subunit epislon), but was still sensitive to inhibition by the flavonoid quercetin. 4. Two equivalents of 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole were sufficient to inhibit about 80% of the ATPase activity of the coupling factor, irrespective of whether it contained two of five subunits. The inhibition was completely reversed by dithiothreitol. 5. Triated 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole was prepared. Treatment of the coupling factor with this tritium-labeled inhibitor followed by electrophoresis on acrylamide gels revealed that most of the radioactivity was incorporated into the beta subunit of the enzyme (molecular weight 56,000). 相似文献

PPi driven ATP synthesis has been reconstituted in a liposomal system containing the membrane-bound energy-linked PPiase and coupling factor complex, both highly purified from Rhodospirillum rubrum. This energy converting model system was made by mixing both enzyme preparations with an aqueous suspension of sonicated soybean phospholipids and subjecting to a freeze-thaw procedure. In the presence of ADP, Mg2+, Pi and PPi the system catalyzed phosphorylation by up to 25 nmol ATP formed X mg protein-1 X min-1, at 20 degrees C, which was sensitive to uncouplers and inhibitors of phosphorylation such as oligomycin, efrapeptin and N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. 相似文献

Isolation of F1-ATPase from Rhodospirillum rubrum by chloroform extraction of chromatophores, followed by purification on a glycerol gradient, results in a very pure enzyme preparation containing five subunits with high Ca2+-ATPase activity (15 mumol per min per mg protein). Furthermore, conditions are reported under which the purified F1 exhibits Mg2+-dependent ATPase activity of about 35 mumol per min per mg protein. NaHCO3 stimulates the Mg2+-activity from 1.5 mumol per min per mg protein to 5 mumol per min per mg protein giving a maximal activity at a concentration of about 60 mM NaHCO3. Lauryl dimethylamine oxide (LDAO), octyl glucoside and nonanoyl N-methylglucamide enhance the Mg2+-ATPase activity from 1.5 to 14, 22 and 35 mumol per min per mg protein, respectively, in the absence of NaHCO3, and from 5 to 34, 30 and 37 mumol per min per mg protein, respectively, in the presence of 50 mM NaHCO3. The Vmax is increased, but the Km for ATP remains the same, about 0.22 mM, both in the absence of activators and in the presence of NaHCO3, LDAO or NaHCO3 plus LDAO. Ca2+-dependent ATPase activity is slightly stimulated by NaHCO3 but strongly inhibited by octyl glucoside. 相似文献

Two different types of essential carboxyl groups were detected in the extrinsic component of the proton ATPase of Rhodospirillum rubrum. Chemical modification of R. rubrum chromatophores or its solubilized ATPase by Woodward's reagent K resulted in inactivation of photophosphorylating and ATPase activities. The apparent order of reaction was nearly 1 with respect to reagent concentration and similar K1 were obtained for the soluble and membrane-bound ATPases suggesting that inactivation was associated with modification of one essential carboxyl group located in the soluble component of the proton ATPase. Inactivation was prevented by adenine nucleotides but not by divalent cations. Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide completely inhibited the solubilized ATPase with a K1 of 5.2 mM and a K2 of 0.81 min-1. Mg2+ afforded nearly complete protection with a Kd of 2.8 mM. Two moles of [14C]dicyclohexylcarbodiimide were incorporated per mole of enzyme for complete inactivation but in the presence of 30 mM MgCl2 only one mole was incorporated and there was no inhibition. The labeling was recovered mostly from the beta subunit. The incorporation of the labeled reagent into the ATPase was not prevented by previous modification with Woodward's reagent K. It is concluded that both reagents modified two different essential carboxyl groups in the soluble ATPase from R. rubrum. 相似文献

A prepriming DNA replication enzyme of Escherichia coli. I. Purification of protein n': a sequence-specific, DNA-dependent ATPase 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
Protein n', an enzyme essential for in vitro conversion of single-stranded phiX174 DNA to the duplex replicative form, has been purified about 16,000-fold from Escherichia coli. The enzyme is a single polypeptide chain with a native molecular weight of 76,000; about 70 enzyme molecules are present in an E. coli cell. Nearly homogeneous preparations display an ATPase (dATPase) activity which depends on a unique sequence in the phiX174 DNA. Replicative activity of n' protein and its phiX174 DNA-dependent ATPase activity were present in a constant ratio during the latter stages of purification, upon sedimentation in a glycerol gradient, and during heat inactivation. Further studies of the properties of protein n' are presented in a succeeding paper. 相似文献

1. O-Iodosobenzoate and 2,2'-dithio bis-(5-nitropyridine) inhibited by about fifty per cent the ATPase activity of heat-activated chloroplast coupling factor 1 only when present during the heating but were without effect when added before or after the activation. Reversion of this inhibition was only obtained by a second heat treatment with 10 mM dithioerythritol. 2. The inhibition of the Ca2+-ATPase of coupling factor 1 by o-iodosobenzoate or 2,2'-dithio bis-(5-nitropyridine) was not additive with similar inhibitions obtained with the alkylating reagents iodoacetamide and N-ethylmaleimide. 3. The heat-activated ATPase of o-iodosobenzoate-treated coupling factor 1 had a higher Km for ATP, without modification of V. The modified enzyme was desensitized against the allosteric inhibitor ADP. 相似文献

The citric acid cycle enzyme malate dehydrogenase was purified to homogeneity from the nonsulfur purple bacteria Rhodobacter capsulatus, Rhodospirillum rubrum, Rhodomicrobium vannielii, and Rhodocyclus purpureus. Malate dehydrogenase was purified from each species by either a single- or a two-step protocol: triazine dye affinity chromatography was the key step in purification of malate dehydrogenase in all cases. Purification of malate dehydrogenase resulted in a 130- to 240-fold increase in malate dehydrogenase specific activity, depending on the species, with recoveries ranging from 30 to 70%. Homogeneity of malate dehydrogenase preparations from the four organisms was determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate and nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; a single protein band was observed in purified preparations by both techniques. The molecular weight of native malate dehydrogenases was determined by four independent methods and estimated to be in the range of 130,000 to 140,000 for the enzyme from R. capsulatus, R. rubrum, and R. vannielii and 57,000 for that from R. purpureus. It is concluded that malate dehydrogenase from R. capsulatus, R. rubrum, and R. vannielii is a tetramer composed of four identical subunits, while the enzyme from R. purpureus is a dimer composed of two identical subunits. 相似文献

1. ATPase isolated from Rhodospirillum rubrum by chloroform extraction and purified by gel filtration or affinity chromatography shows three bands (alpha, beta and gamma) upon electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulphate. 2. Ca2+-ATPase activity of the preparation is inhibited by aurovertin and efrapeptin but not by oligomycin. Activity may be inhibited by treatment with 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan and subsequently restored by dithiothreitol. 3. The enzyme fails to reconstitute photophosphorylation in chromatophores depleted of ATPase by sonic irradiation. 4. Most of the active protein from the crude chloroform extract binds to an affinity chromatography column bearing an immobilised ADP analogue but not to a column bearing immobilised pyrophosphate. 5. In the absence of divalent cations, a component with a very high specific activity for Ca2+-ATPase is eluted from the column by 1.6 mM ATP. This protein migrates asa single band on 5% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and only possesses three subunits. At 12 mM ATP an inactive protein is eluted which does not run on acid or alkali polyacrylamide gels and shows a complex subunit structure. 6. ATPase preparations prepared by acetone extraction or by sonic irradiation of chromatophores may also be purified 10-fold by affinity chromatography. 7. The inclusion of 5 mM MgCl2 or CaCl2 during affinity chromatography of chloroform ATPase increases the capacity of the column for the enzyme and demands a higher eluting concentration of ATP. 8. When the enzyme is more than 90% inhibited by efrapeptin or 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan, the binding characteristics of the enzyme are not affected. 9. 10 mM Na2SO3, which greatly stimulates the Ca2+- and Mg2+-dependent ATPase activity of the enzyme and increases Ki (ADP) for Ca2+-ATPase from 50 to 850 micron, prevents binding to the affinity column. Binding may be restored by the addition of divalent cations. 10. Na2SO3 increases the rate of ATP hydrolysis, ATP-driven H+ translocation and ATP-driven transhydrogenase in chromatophores. 11. It is proposed that anions such as sulphite convert the chromatophore ATPase into a form which is a more efficient energy transducer. 相似文献

Highly purified coupling factor 1 (CF1) from chloroplasts was found to contain 3.6 mol tryptophan/mol of enzyme. Although the α, β, γ, and δ subunits of the enzyme are devoid of tryptophan, the ? subunit was found to contain two tryptophans per mole. These results support a stoichiometry of two ? per mole of CF1. Two classes of tyrosine and tryptophan were detected in CF1 and evidence for a correlation between activation of the ATPase activity of CF1 and a quenching of tryptophan fluorescence is given. Tryptophan should be a useful marker for the ? subunit and its fluorescence and modification should provide a probe for its function. 相似文献

Studies on restoration of membrane-bound adenosinetriphosphatase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) from Rhodospirillum rubrum show that the delta-subunit is capable of binding to the F1 factor or to the F0 moiety of the F0-F1 ATPase complex. This subunit is thus likely involved in linking the F0 and F1 factor. During solubilization of the oligomycin-sensitive F0-F1 ATPase complex with Triton X-100 the detergent becomes specifically associated with the lipophilic F0 part of the enzyme complex. Crossed immunoelectrophoresis, agglutination tests, and kinetic studies with anti-F1 ATPase antibodies reveal a reaction of immunological identity of membrane-bound ATPase, F0-F1 ATPase, and F1 ATPase. 相似文献

A hybrid ATPase composed of cloned chloroplast ATP synthase beta and gamma subunits (betaC and gammaC) and the cloned alpha subunit from the Rhodospirillum rubrum ATP synthase (alphaR) was assembled using solubilized inclusion bodies and a simple single-step folding procedure. The catalytic properties of the assembled alpha3Rbeta3CgammaC were compared to those of the core alpha3Cbeta3CgammaC complex of the native chloroplast coupling factor 1 (CF1) and to another recently described hybrid enzyme containing R. rubrum alpha and beta subunits and the CF1 gamma subunit (alpha3Rbeta3RgammaC). All three enzymes were similarly stimulated by dithiothreitol and inhibited by copper chloride in response to reduction and oxidation, respectively, of the disulfide bond in the chloroplast gamma subunit. In addition, all three enzymes exhibited the same concentration dependence for inhibition by the CF1 epsilon subunit. Thus the CF1 gamma subunit conferred full redox regulation and normal epsilon binding to the two hybrid enzymes. Only the native CF1 alpha3Cbeta3CgammaC complex was inhibited by tentoxin, confirming the requirement for both CF1 alpha and beta subunits for tentoxin inhibition. However, the alpha3Rbeta3CgammaC complex, like the alpha3Cbeta3CgammaC complex, was stimulated by tentoxin at concentrations in excess of 10 microm. In addition, replacement of the aspartate at position 83 in betaC with leucine resulted in the loss of stimulation in the alpha3Rbeta3CgammaC hybrid. The results indicate that both inhibition and stimulation by tentoxin require a similar structural contribution from the beta subunit, but differ in their requirements for alpha subunit structure. 相似文献

The dithiothreitol-stimulated dissociation of the chloroplast coupling factor 1 epsilon-subunit is reversible 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The chloroplast coupling factor 1 complex (CF1) contains an epsilon-subunit which inhibits the CF1 ATPase activity. Chloroform treatment of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii thylakoid membranes solubilizes only forms of the enzyme which apparently lack the delta-subunit. Four interrelated observations are described in this paper. (1) The dithiothreitol- (DTT) induced ATPase activation of CF1(-delta) and the DTT-induced formation of a physically resolvable CF1(-delta,epsilon) from the CF1(-delta) precursor are compared. The similar time-courses of these two phenomena suggest that the dissociation of the epsilon-subunit is an obligatory process in the DTT-induced ATPase activation of soluble CF1. (2) The reversible dissociation of the epsilon-subunit of the CF1 is demonstrated by the exchange of subunits between distinguishable oligomers. 35S-labelled chloroplast coupling factor 1 lacking the delta and epsilon subunits [CF1(-delta,epsilon)] was added to a solution of non-radioactive coupling factor 1 lacking only the delta subunit [CF1(-delta)]. After separation of the two enzyme forms, via high resolution anion-exchange chromatography, radioactivity was detected in the chromatographic fractions containing CF1(-delta). (3) epsilon-deficient CF1 can be resolved from DTT pretreated epsilon-containing CF1 for several days after the removal of DTT. On the other hand, brief incubation of the DTT pretreated epsilon-containing CF1 with low concentrations of o-iodosobenzoate results in chromatographs containing only the peak of epsilon-containing CF1. A simple explanation for this phenomenon is that reduction of CF1 with DTT increases the apparent dissociation constant for the epsilon-subunit to an estimated 3.5 x 10(-8) M (+/- 1.0 x 10(-8) M) from a value of less than or equal to 5 x 10(-11) M for the oxidized enzyme. (4) ATPase activity data show that oxidation of the epsilon-deficient enzyme does not completely inhibit its manifest activity, but oxidation of DTT pre-treated CF1 which contains the epsilon-subunit completely inhibits manifest activity. A simple model is proposed for the influence of the oxidation state of the soluble enzyme on the distribution of ATPase-inactive and ATPase-active subunit configurations. 相似文献

Soluble mitochondrial ATPase (F1) from beef heart prepared in this laboratory contained approximately 1.8 mol of ADP and 0 mol of ATP/mol of F1 which were not removed by repeated precipitation of the enzyme with ammonium sulfate solution or by gel filtration in low ionic strength buffer containing EDTA. This enzyme had full coupling activity. Treatment of the enzyme with trypsin (5 mug/mg of F1 for 3 min) reduced the "tightly bound" ADP to zero, abolished coupling activity, but had no effect on the ATPase activity, stability, or membrane-binding capability of the F1. When the trypsin concentration was varied between 0 and 5 mug/mg of F1, tightly bound ADP was removed to varying degrees, and a correlation was seen between amount of residual tightly bound ADP and residual coupling activity. Gel filtration of the native F1 in high ionic strength buffer containing EDTA also caused complete loss of tightly bound ADP and coupling ability, whereas ATPase activity, stability, and membrane-binding capability were retained. The ADP-depleted F1 preparations were unable to rebind normal amounts of ADP or any ATP in simple reloading experiments. The results strongly suggest that tightly bound ADP is required for ATP synthesis and for energy-coupled ATP hydrolysis on F1. The results also suggest that ATP synthesis and energy-linked ATP hydrolysis rather than involving one nucleotide binding site on F1, involve a series or "cluster" of sites. The ATP hydrolysis site may represent one component of this cluster. The results show that nonenergy-coupled ATP hydrolysis on F1 can occur in the absence of tightly bound ADP or ATP. 相似文献

Purification and properties of membrane-bound coupling factor-latent ATPase from mycobacterium phlei
Vijay K. Kalra Soon-Ho Lee Carolyn J. Ritz Arnold F. Brodie 《Journal of cellular biochemistry》1975,3(3):231-241
The membrane bound coupling factor-latent ATPase was solubilized from the membrane vesicles of Mycobacterium phlei by using 0.25 M sucrose or low ionic strength buffer. Purification of the solubilized enzyme by use of Sepharose-ADP conjugate gel yielded a homogenous preparation of latent ATPase which was purified about 216-fold in a single step with an 84% yield. The enzyme exhibits a specific activity of 39 μmoles of ATP hydrolyzed per min per mg protein. The purified enzyme exhibits coupling factor activity. Electrophoresis in two dissociating solvent systems indicates that the enzyme contains at least three major polypeptides of molecular weights 56,000, 51,000 and 46,000 daltons, and two minor polypeptides of 30,000 and 17,000 daltons. Equilibrium binding studies of ADP with purified coupling factor-latent ATPase reveal the presence of two nucleotide binding sites per molecule with an apparent Ka of 8.1 × 10−5 M. By use of affinity chromatography, another latent ATPase has been isolated from the solubilized enzyme, which does not exhibit coupling factor activity. 相似文献
