Abstract: | An addition of the inhibitor protein (IF1) to submitochondrial particles (SMP) essentially free of endogenous IF1 (AS-SMP) results in a synchroneous inhibition of ATP hydrolysis and ATP-dependent reduction of NAD+ by succinate without any effect on the oxidative phosphorylation rate. The binding of IF1 to the membrane-bound ATPase leads to the loss of the inhibitor protein sensitivity to trypsin despite the delta mu H+ generation. The data obtained are consistent with a model according to which there exist the hydrolase and synthetase forms of F1 and contradict the generally accepted concepts on the delta mu H+-dependent dissociation of the F1-IF1 complex. |
