Abstract: | It is shown that F1-ATPase preparations having impaired catalytic rates may be purified from partial revertants of uncA mutant strains of Escherichia coli. Recovery of catalytic activity in the partial revertant F1 was accompanied by recovery of alpha in equilibrium beta intersubunit conformational interaction, supporting the hypothesis that such interaction is required for normal catalysis in F1. The specific ATPase activities of the partial revertant F1 preparations were in the range 1-29% of normal, and some of the preparations showed unusual insensitivity to inhibitors. The properties of a new uncA mutant F1 preparation (uncA498) which has approximately half of normal catalytic rate are also briefly described. |
