Abstract
F-type ATP synthases are extraordinary multisubunit proteins that operate as nanomotors. The Escherichia coli (E. coli) enzyme uses the proton motive force (pmf) across the bacterial plasma membrane to drive rotation of the central rotor subunits within a stator subunit complex. Through this mechanical rotation, the rotor coordinates three nucleotide binding sites that sequentially catalyze the synthesis of ATP. Moreover, the enzyme can hydrolyze ATP to turn the rotor in the opposite direction and generate pmf. The direction of net catalysis, i.e. synthesis or hydrolysis of ATP, depends on the cell's bioenergetic conditions. Different control mechanisms have been found for ATP synthases in mitochondria, chloroplasts and bacteria. This review discusses the auto-inhibitory behavior of subunit ε found in FOF1-ATP synthases of many bacteria. We focus on E. coli FOF1-ATP synthase, with insights into the regulatory mechanism of subunit ε arising from structural and biochemical studies complemented by single-molecule microscopy experiments.

Abstract
The ε-subunit of ATP-synthase is an endogenous inhibitor of the hydrolysis activity of the complex and its α-helical C-terminal domain (εCTD) undergoes drastic changes among at least two different conformations. Even though this domain is not essential for ATP synthesis activity, there is evidence for its involvement in the coupling mechanism of the pump. Recently, it was proposed that coupling of the ATP synthase can vary as a function of ADP and Pi concentration. In the present work, we have explored the possible role of the εCTD in this ADP- and Pi-dependent coupling, by examining an εCTD-lacking mutant of Escherichia coli. We show that the loss of Pi-dependent coupling can be observed also in the εCTD-less mutant, but the effects of Pi on both proton pumping and ATP hydrolysis were much weaker in the mutant than in the wild-type. We also show that the εCTD strongly influences the binding of ADP to a very tight binding site (half-maximal effect≈1nM); binding at this site induces higher coupling in EFOF1 and increases responses to Pi. It is proposed that one physiological role of the εCTD is to regulate the kinetics and affinity of ADP/Pi binding, promoting ADP/Pi-dependent coupling.

Mechanism of the αβ conformational change in F1-ATPase after ATP hydrolysis: free-energy simulations. Biophys J 2015; 108:85-97. [PMID: 25564855 DOI: 10.1016/j.bpj.2014.11.1853] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2014] [Revised: 11/06/2014] [Accepted: 11/10/2014] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
One of the motive forces for F1-ATPase rotation is the conformational change of the catalytically active β subunit due to closing and opening motions caused by ATP binding and hydrolysis, respectively. The closing motion is accomplished in two steps: the hydrogen-bond network around ATP changes and then the entire structure changes via B-helix sliding, as shown in our previous study. Here, we investigated the opening motion induced by ATP hydrolysis using all-atom free-energy simulations, combining the nudged elastic band method and umbrella sampling molecular-dynamics simulations. Because hydrolysis requires residues in the α subunit, the simulations were performed with the αβ dimer. The results indicate that the large-scale opening motion is also achieved by the B-helix sliding (in the reverse direction). However, the sliding mechanism is different from that of ATP binding because sliding is triggered by separation of the hydrolysis products ADP and Pi. We also addressed several important issues: 1), the timing of the product Pi release; 2), the unresolved half-closed β structure; and 3), the ADP release mechanism. These issues are fundamental for motor function; thus, the rotational mechanism of the entire F1-ATPase is also elucidated through this αβ study. During the conformational change, conserved residues among the ATPase proteins play important roles, suggesting that the obtained mechanism may be shared with other ATPase proteins. When combined with our previous studies, these results provide a comprehensive view of the β-subunit conformational change that drives the ATPase.

Effects of an ATP analogue, adenosine 5'-[α-thio]-triphosphate, on F1-ATPase rotary catalysis, torque generation, and inhibited intermediated formation. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2015; 458:515-519.

Abstract
F1-ATPase (F1), an important rotary motor protein, converts the chemical energy of ATP hydrolysis into mechanical energy using rotary motion with extremely high efficiency. The energy-conversion mechanism for this molecular motor has been extensively clarified by previous studies, which indicate that the interactions between the catalytic residues and the β- and γ-phosphates of ATP are indispensable for efficient catalysis and torque generation. However, the role of α-phosphate is largely unknown. In this study, we observed the rotation of F1 fuelled with an ATP analogue, adenosine 5'-[α-thio]-triphosphate (ATPαS), in which the oxygen has been substituted with a sulfur ion to perturb the α-phosphate/F1 interactions. In doing so, we have revealed that ATPαS does not appear to have any impact on the kinetic properties of the motor or on torque generation compared to ATP. On the other hand, F1 was observed to lapse into the ADP-inhibited intermediate states when in the presence of ATPαS more severely than in the presence of ATP, suggesting that the α-phosphate group of ATP contributes to the avoidance of ADP-inhibited intermediate formation.

Abstract
F1-ATPase is a rotary motor protein driven by ATP hydrolysis. The rotary motion of F1-ATPase is tightly coupled to catalysis, in which the catalytic sites strictly obey the reaction sequences at the resolution of elementary reaction steps. This fine coordination of the reaction scheme is thought to be important to achieve extremely high chemomechanical coupling efficiency and reversibility, which is the prominent feature of F1-ATPase among molecular motor proteins. In this study, we intentionally change the reaction scheme by using single-molecule manipulation, and we examine the resulting effect on the rotary motion of F1-ATPase. When the sequence of the products released, that is, ADP and inorganic phosphate, is switched, we find that F1 frequently stops rotating for a long time, which corresponds to inactivation of catalysis. This inactive state presents MgADP inhibition, and thus, we find that an improper reaction sequence of F1-ATPase catalysis induces MgADP inhibition. The F1-ATPase is a motor protein which exhibits rotary motion as a result of catalytic hydrolysis of ATP. Here, the authors investigate how the sequence of this reaction influences molecular rotation, showing that premature product release can result in protein inactivation.

Abstract
ATP synthase is a ubiquitous enzyme that is largely conserved across the kingdoms of life. This conservation is in accordance with its central role in chemiosmotic energy conversion, a pathway utilized by far by most living cells. On the other hand, in particular pathogenic bacteria whilst employing ATP synthase have to deal with energetically unfavorable conditions such as low oxygen tensions in the human host, e.g. Mycobacterium tuberculosis can survive in human macrophages for an extended time. It is well conceivable that such ATP synthases may carry idiosyncratic features that contribute to efficient ATP production. In this review genetic and biochemical data on mycobacterial ATP synthase are discussed in terms of rotary catalysis, stator composition, and regulation of activity. ATP synthase in mycobacteria is of particular interest as this enzyme has been validated as a target for promising new antibacterial drugs. A deeper understanding of the working of mycobacterial ATP synthase and its atypical features can provide insight in adaptations of bacterial energy metabolism. Moreover, pinpointing and understanding critical differences as compared with human ATP synthase may provide input for the design and development of selective ATP synthase inhibitors as antibacterials. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: 18th European Bioenergetic Conference.

Abstract
F1-ATPase is the catalytic complex of rotary nanomotor ATP synthases. Bacterial ATP synthases can be autoinhibited by the C-terminal domain of subunit ε, which partially inserts into the enzyme's central rotor cavity to block functional subunit rotation. Using a kinetic, optical assay of F1·ε binding and dissociation, we show that formation of the extended, inhibitory conformation of ε (εX) initiates after ATP hydrolysis at the catalytic dwell step. Prehydrolysis conditions prevent formation of the εX state, and post-hydrolysis conditions stabilize it. We also show that ε inhibition and ADP inhibition are distinct, competing processes that can follow the catalytic dwell. We show that the N-terminal domain of ε is responsible for initial binding to F1 and provides most of the binding energy. Without the C-terminal domain, partial inhibition by the ε N-terminal domain is due to enhanced ADP inhibition. The rapid effects of catalytic site ligands on conformational changes of F1-bound ε suggest dynamic conformational and rotational mobility in F1 that is paused near the catalytic dwell position.

Abstract
Native gel electrophoresis allows the separation of very small amounts of protein complexes while retaining aspects of their activity. In-gel enzymatic assays are usually performed by using reaction-dependent deposition of chromophores or light-scattering precipitates quantified at fixed time points after gel removal and fixation, limiting the ability to analyze the enzyme reaction kinetics. Herein, we describe a custom reaction chamber with reaction medium recirculation and filtering and an imaging system that permits the continuous monitoring of in-gel enzymatic activity even in the presence of turbidity. Images were continuously collected using time-lapse high-resolution digital imaging, and processing routines were developed to obtain kinetic traces of the in-gel activities and analyze reaction time courses. This system also permitted the evaluation of enzymatic activity topology within the protein bands of the gel. This approach was used to analyze the reaction kinetics of two mitochondrial complexes in native gels. Complex IV kinetics showed a short initial linear phase in which catalytic rates could be calculated, whereas Complex V activity revealed a significant lag phase followed by two linear phases. The utility of monitoring the entire kinetic behavior of these reactions in native gels, as well as the general application of this approach, is discussed.

Abstract
MgADP and MgATP binding to catalytic sites of βY341W-α(3)β(3)γ subcomplex of F(1)-ATPase from thermophilic Bacillus PS3 has been assessed using their effect on the enzyme inhibition by 7-chloro-4-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD-Cl). It was assumed that NBD-Cl can inhibit only when catalytic sites are empty, and inhibition is prevented if a catalytic site is occupied with a nucleotide. In the absence of an activator, MgADP and MgATP protect βY341W-α(3)β(3)γ subcomplex from inhibition by NBD-Cl by binding to two catalytic sites with an affinity of 37 µM and 12 mM, and 46 µM and 15 mM, respectively. In the presence of an activator lauryldimethylamine-N-oxide (LDAO), MgADP protects βY341W-α(3)β(3)γ subcomplex from inhibition by NBD-Cl by binding to a catalytic site with a K(d) of 12 mM. Nucleotide binding to a catalytic site with affinity in the millimolar range has not been previously revealed in the fluorescence quenching experiments with βY341W-α(3)β(3)γ subcomplex. In the presence of activators LDAO or selenite, MgATP protects βY341W-α(3)β(3)γ subcomplex from inhibition by NBD-Cl only partially, and the enzyme remains sensitive to inhibition by NBD-Cl even at MgATP concentrations that are saturating for ATPase activity. The results support a bi-site mechanism of catalysis by F(1)-ATPases.

Abstract
Cyclophilin D was recently shown to mask an inhibitory site of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (PTP) for phosphate, and to constitutively bind F(0)-F(1) ATP synthase resulting in the slowing of ATP synthesis and hydrolysis rates, thus regulating matrix adenine nucleotide levels. Here we review the striking similarities of the factors affecting the threshold for PTP induction, to those affecting binding of phosphate to formerly proposed sides on F(1)-ATPase affecting ATP hydrolytic activity, including critical arginine residues, matrix pH, [Mg(2+)], adenine nucleotides and proton motive force. Based on these similarities, we scrutinize the hypothesis that in depolarized mitochondria exhibiting reversal of F(0)-F(1) ATP synthase operation, the genetic ablation of cyclophilin D or its inhibition by cyclosporin A results in accelerated proton pumping by ATP hydrolysis, opposing a further decrease in membrane potential and promoting high matrix phosphate levels, both negatively affecting the probability of PTP opening.

Abstract
Binding of MgADP and MgATP to Escherichia coli F(1)-ATPase (EcF(1)) has been assessed by their effects on extent of the enzyme inhibition by 7-chloro-4-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD-Cl). MgADP at low concentrations (K(d) 1.3 microM) promotes the inhibition, whereas at higher concentrations (K(d) 0.7 mM) EcF(1) is protected from inhibition. The mutant betaY331W-EcF(1) requires much higher MgADP, K(d) of about 10 mM, for protection. Such MgADP binding was not revealed by fluorescence quenching measurements. MgATP partially protects EcF(1) from inactivation by NBD-Cl, but the enzyme remains sensitive to NBD-Cl in the presence of MgATP at concentrations as high as 10 mM. The activating anion selenite in the absence of MgATP partially protects EcF(1) from inhibition by NBD-Cl. A complete protection of EcF(1) from inhibition by NBD-Cl has been observed in the presence of both MgATP and selenite. The results support a bi-site catalytic mechanism for MgATP hydrolysis by F(1)-ATPases and suggest that stimulation of the enzyme activity by activating anions is due to the anion binding to a catalytic site that remains unoccupied at saturating substrate concentration.

Abstract
The effect of inorganic phosphate (P(i)) on uni-site ATP binding and hydrolysis by the nucleotide-depleted F(1)-ATPase from beef heart mitochondria (ndMF(1)) has been investigated. It is shown for the first time that P(i) decreases the apparent rate constant of uni-site ATP binding by ndMF(1) 3-fold with the K(d) of 0.38+/-0.14mM. During uni-site ATP hydrolysis, P(i) also shifts equilibrium between bound ATP and ADP+P(i) in the direction of ATP synthesis with the K(d) of 0.17+/-0.03mM. However, 10mM P(i) does not significantly affect ATP binding during multi-site catalysis.

Abstract
The F(1)c(10) subcomplex of the yeast F(1)F(0)-ATP synthase includes the membrane rotor part c(10)-ring linked to a catalytic head, (αβ)(3), by a central stalk, γδε. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae yF(1)c(10)·ADP subcomplex was crystallized in the presence of Mg·ADP, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD), and azide. The structure was solved by molecular replacement using a high resolution model of the yeast F(1) and a bacterial c-ring model with 10 copies of the c-subunit. The structure refined to 3.43-Å resolution displays new features compared with the original yF(1)c(10) and with the yF(1) inhibited by adenylyl imidodiphosphate (AMP-PNP) (yF(1)(I-III)). An ADP molecule was bound in both β(DP) and β(TP) catalytic sites. The α(DP)-β(DP) pair is slightly open and resembles the novel conformation identified in yF(1), whereas the α(TP)-β(TP) pair is very closed and resembles more a DP pair. yF(1)c(10)·ADP provides a model of a new Mg·ADP-inhibited state of the yeast F(1). As for the original yF(1) and yF(1)c(10) structures, the foot of the central stalk is rotated by ∼40 ° with respect to bovine structures. The assembly of the F(1) central stalk with the F(0) c-ring rotor is mainly provided by electrostatic interactions. On the rotor ring, the essential cGlu(59) carboxylate group is surrounded by hydrophobic residues and is not involved in hydrogen bonding.

Abstract
F1-ATPase is the smallest mechanical motor known. Tentoxin, a cyclic peptide produced by phytopathogenic fungi, inactivates the F1 motor in sensitive plants at nanomolar to micromolar concentrations, whereas higher concentrations surpass the natural activity of the enzyme. Single molecule studies now have clarified the molecular steps involved in both processes. Inactivation delays the dwell time of a single step in the complete 360 degrees turn and results in an asymmetric rotation of the central rotor subunit. In contrast, rotation in the stimulated F1 particle is smooth and accompanied by strongly reduced ADP inhibition. Our study provides for the first time the direct observation of a noncompetitively inhibited state of the enzyme and directly visualizes the regulation of the molecular motor by an external natural compound. In addition, the ADP release step during catalysis was revealed by analysis of the single molecule rotation behavior. Hence, tentoxin is a sophisticated molecular tool to mark and control certain catalytic steps within the reaction pathway of the molecular F1 motor.

Abstract
Vacuolar-type H(+)-ATPase (V-ATPase) catalyzes ATP synthesis and hydrolysis coupled with proton translocation across membranes via a rotary motor mechanism. Here we report biochemical and biophysical catalytic properties of V-ATPase from Thermus thermophilus. ATP hydrolysis of V-ATPase was severely inhibited by entrapment of Mg-ADP in the catalytic site. In contrast, the enzyme was very active for ATP synthesis (approximately 70 s(-1)) with the K(m) values for ADP and phosphate being 4.7 +/- 0.5 and 460 +/- 30 microm, respectively. Single molecule observation showed V-ATPase rotated in a 120 degrees stepwise manner, and analysis of dwelling time allowed the binding rate constant k(on) for ATP to be estimated ( approximately 1.1 x 10(6) m(-1) s(-1)), which was much lower than the k(on) (= V(max)/K(m)) for ADP ( approximately 1.4 x 10(7) m(-1) s(-1)). The slower k(on)(ATP) than k(on)(ADP) and strong Mg-ADP inhibition may contribute to prevent wasteful consumption of ATP under in vivo conditions when the proton motive force collapses.

Abstract
H(+)-F(O)F(1)-ATP synthase catalyzes synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate using the energy of transmembrane electrochemical potential difference of proton (deltamu(H)(+). The enzyme can also generate this potential difference by working as an ATP-driven proton pump. Several regulatory mechanisms are known to suppress the ATPase activity of F(O)F(1): 1. Non-competitive inhibition by MgADP, a feature shared by F(O)F(1) from bacteria, chloroplasts and mitochondria 2. Inhibition by subunit epsilon in chloroplast and bacterial enzyme 3. Inhibition upon oxidation of two cysteines in subunit gamma in chloroplast F(O)F(1) 4. Inhibition by an additional regulatory protein (IF(1)) in mitochondrial enzyme In this review we summarize the information available on these regulatory mechanisms and discuss possible interplay between them.

Abstract
H(+)-F(O)F(1)-ATP synthase couples proton flow through its membrane portion, F(O), to the synthesis of ATP in its headpiece, F(1). Upon reversal of the reaction the enzyme functions as a proton pumping ATPase. Even in the simplest bacterial enzyme the ATPase activity is regulated by several mechanisms, involving inhibition by MgADP, conformational transitions of the epsilon subunit, and activation by protonmotive force. Here we report that the Met23Lys mutation in the gamma subunit of the Rhodobacter capsulatus ATP synthase significantly impaired the activation of ATP hydrolysis by protonmotive force. The impairment in the mutant was due to faster enzyme deactivation that was particularly evident at low ATP/ADP ratio. We suggest that the electrostatic interaction of the introduced gammaLys23 with the DELSEED region of subunit beta stabilized the ADP-inhibited state of the enzyme by hindering the rotation of subunit gamma rotation which is necessary for the activation.

Abstract
Motor proteins are essential in life processes because they convert the free energy of ATP hydrolysis to mechanical work. However, the fundamental question on how they work when different amounts of free energy are released after ATP hydrolysis remains unanswered. To answer this question, it is essential to clarify how the stepping motion of a motor protein reflects the concentrations of ATP, ADP, and P(i) in its individual actions at a single molecule level. The F(1) portion of ATP synthase, also called F(1)-ATPase, is a rotary molecular motor in which the central gamma-subunit rotates against the alpha(3)beta(3) cylinder. The motor exhibits clear step motion at low ATP concentrations. The rotary action of this motor is processive and generates a high torque. These features are ideal for exploring the relationship between free energy input and mechanical work output, but there is a serious problem in that this motor is severely inhibited by ADP. In this study, we overcame this problem of ADP inhibition by introducing several mutations while retaining high enzymatic activity. Using a probe of attached beads, stepping rotation against viscous load was examined at a wide range of free energy values by changing the ADP concentration. The results showed that the apparent work of each individual step motion was not affected by the free energy of ATP hydrolysis, but the frequency of each individual step motion depended on the free energy. This is the first study that examined the stepping motion of a molecular motor at a single molecule level with simultaneous systematic control of DeltaG(ATP). The results imply that microscopically defined work at a single molecule level cannot be directly compared with macroscopically defined free energy input.

Abstract
ATP synthase couples transmembrane proton transport, driven by the proton motive force (pmf), to the synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate (P(i)). In certain bacteria, the reaction is reversed and the enzyme generates pmf, working as a proton-pumping ATPase. The ATPase activity of bacterial enzymes is prone to inhibition by both ADP and the C-terminal domain of subunit epsilon. We studied the effects of ADP, P(i), pmf, and the C-terminal domain of subunit epsilon on the ATPase activity of thermophilic Bacillus PS3 and Escherichia coli ATP synthases. We found that pmf relieved ADP inhibition during steady-state ATP hydrolysis, but only in the presence of P(i). The C-terminal domain of subunit epsilon in the Bacillus PS3 enzyme enhanced ADP inhibition by counteracting the effects of pmf. It appears that these features allow the enzyme to promptly respond to changes in the ATP:ADP ratio and in pmf levels in order to avoid potentially wasteful ATP hydrolysis in vivo.

Abstract
The regulation of ATP synthase activity is complex and involves several distinct mechanisms. In bacteria and chloroplasts, subunit epsilon plays an important role in this regulation, (i) affecting the efficiency of coupling, (ii) influencing the catalytic pathway, and (iii) selectively inhibiting ATP hydrolysis activity. Several experimental studies indicate that the regulation is achieved through large conformational transitions of the alpha-helical C-terminal domain of subunit epsilon that occur in response to membrane energization, change in ATP/ADP ratio or addition of inhibitors. This review summarizes the experimental data obtained on different organisms that clarify some basic features as well as some molecular details of this regulatory mechanism. Multiple functions of subunit epsilon, its role in the difference between the catalytic pathways of ATP synthesis and hydrolysis and its influence on the inhibition of ATP hydrolysis by ADP are also discussed.

Abstract
F(0)F(1)-ATP synthase couples ATP synthesis/hydrolysis with transmembrane proton transport. The catalytic mechanism involves rotation of the gamma epsilon c(approximately 10)-subunits complex relative to the rest of the enzyme. In the absence of protonmotive force the enzyme is inactivated by the tight binding of MgADP. Subunit epsilon also modulates the activity: its conformation can change from a contracted to extended form with C-terminus stretched towards F(1). The latter form inhibits ATP hydrolysis (but not synthesis). We propose that the directionality of the coiled-coil subunit gamma rotation determines whether subunit epsilon is in contracted or extended form. Block of rotation by MgADP presumably induces the extended conformation of subunit epsilon. This conformation might serve as a safety lock, stabilizing the ADP-inhibited state upon de-energization and preventing spontaneous re-activation and wasteful ATP hydrolysis. The hypothesis merges the known regulatory effects of ADP, protonmotive force and conformational changes of subunit epsilon into a consistent picture.

Abstract
Strong positive catalytic cooperativity is a central feature of the binding change mechanism for F1-ATPases. However, a detail of the mechanism that remains controversial is whether the kinetic enhancement derived from using substrate-binding energy at one catalytic site to promote product release from another site occurs upon the filling of the second or third of three catalytic sites on F1. To address this question, we compare the ATP concentration dependence of the rate of ATP hydrolysis by F1 from beef heart mitochondria to the ATP concentration dependence of the level of occupancy of catalytic sites during steady-state catalysis as measured by a centrifuge filtration assay. A single Km(ATP) is observed at 77 +/- 6 microM. Analysis of the nucleotide-binding data shows that half-maximal occupancy of a second catalytic site occurs at 78 +/- 18 microM ATP. We conclude that ATP binding to a second catalytic site is sufficient to support rapid rates of catalysis.

Abstract
Diazoxide, a selective opener of the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K+ channel (mitoK(ATP)), has been reported to enhance F(0)F(1)ATPsynthase inhibition during ischemia, but the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. Here, we demonstrate that diazoxide directly interacts with the F(1) sector of beef heart F(0)F(1)ATPsynthase markedly promoting the binding of the inhibitor protein (IF(1)) to beta subunit. More specifically, the treatment of soluble F(1) with one equivalent of diazoxide was sufficient to decrease the K(d) of IF(1)-F(1) complex at low pH. Such effect was revealed only on the cycling enzyme, while no effect was observed in the absence of Mg-ATP. However, diazoxide binding occurred independently from the catalysis, as shown by the structural changes induced by the drug in not catalytically active F(1) and revealed by CD spectra. In addition, kinetic analysis of ATP hydrolysis demonstrated that diazoxide exerts a stabilising role on Mg-ADP bound in the catalytic site of the beta subunit adopting the tight conformation (beta(DP)). In accordance, a stabilising effect of Mg-ADP at the nucleotide binding domain (NBD) has been reported also for K(ATP) channel. These results suggest that diazoxide binds to beta subunit at NBD, which is highly conserved in the ATP-binding cassette protein family, thus inducing nucleotide stabilisation and favouring F(1) conformation suitable for IF(1) binding. Finally, diazoxide also increased IF(1) binding to membrane bound F(1), while it did not influence the energisation-dependent IF(1) release. As IF(1) binding mediates the F(0)F(1)ATPsynthase inhibition, we suggest that such mechanism may contribute to cardioprotection during ischemia.

Abstract
During hydrolysis of ATP, the gamma subunit of the rotary motor protein F(1)-ATPase rotates within a ring of alpha(3)beta(3) subunits. Tentoxin is a phyto-pathogenic cyclic tetrapeptide, which influences F(1)-ATPase activity of sensitive species. At low concentrations, tentoxin inhibits ATP hydrolysis of ensembles of F(1) molecules in solution. At higher concentrations, however, ATP hydrolysis recovers. Here we have examined how tentoxin acts on individual molecules of engineered F(1)-ATPase from the thermophilic Bacillus PS3 (Groth, G., Hisabori, T., Lill, H., and Bald, D. (2002) J. Biol. Chem. 277, 20117-20119). We found that inhibition by tentoxin caused a virtually complete stop of rotation, which was partially relieved at higher tentoxin concentrations. Re-activation, however, was not simply a reversal of inhibition; while the torque appears unaffected as compared with the situation without tentoxin, F(1) under re-activating conditions was less susceptible to inhibitory ADP binding but displayed a large number of short pauses, indicating infringed energy conversion.

Abstract
F(0).F(1)-ATP synthase in tightly coupled inside-out vesicles derived from Paracoccus denitrificans catalyzes rapid respiration-supported ATP synthesis, whereas their ATPase activity is very low. In the present study, the conditions required to reveal the Deltamu(H+)-generating ATP hydrolase activity of the bacterial enzyme have been elucidated. Energization of the membranes by respiration results in strong activation of the venturicidin-sensitive ATP hydrolysis, which is coupled with generation of Deltamũ(H+). Partial uncoupling stimulates the proton-translocating ATP hydrolysis, whereas complete uncoupling results in inhibition of the ATPase activity. The presence of inorganic phosphate is indispensable for the steady-state turnover of the Deltamũ(H+)-activated ATPase. The collapse of Deltamũ(H+) brings about rapid deactivation of the enzyme, which has been subjected to pre-energization. The rate and extent of the deactivation depend on protein concentration, i.e. the more vesicles are present in the assay mixture, the higher the rate and extent of the deactivation is seen. Sulfite and the ADP-trapping system protect ATPase against the Deltamũ(H+) collapse-induced deactivation, whereas phosphate delays the rate of deactivation. A low concentration of ADP (<1 microm) increases the rate of deactivation. Taken together, the results suggest that latent proton-translocating ATPase in P. denitrificans is kinetically equivalent to the previously characterized ADP(Mg2+)-inhibited, azide-trapped bovine heart mitochondrial F(0).F(1)-ATPase (Galkin, M. A., and Vinogradov, A. D. (1999) FEBS Lett. 448, 123-126). A Deltamũ(H+)-sensitive mechanism operates in P. denitrificans that prevents physiologically wasteful consumption of ATP by F(0).F(1)-ATPase (synthase) complex when the latter is unable to maintain certain value of Deltamũ(H+).

Abstract
F1-ATPase is an ATP-driven rotary motor in which a rod-shaped gamma subunit rotates inside a cylinder made of alpha3beta3 subunits. To elucidate the conformations of rotating F1, we measured fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between a donor on one of the three betas and an acceptor on gamma in single F1 molecules. The yield of FRET changed stepwise at low ATP concentrations, reflecting the stepwise rotation of gamma. In the ATP-waiting state, the FRET yields indicated a gamma position approximately 40 degrees counterclockwise (= direction of rotation) from that in the crystal structures of mitochondrial F1, suggesting that the crystal structures mimic a metastable state before product release.

Abstract
F1-ATPase is inactivated by entrapment of MgADP in catalytic sites and reactivated by MgATP or P(i). Here, using a mutant alpha(3)beta(3)gamma complex of thermophilic F(1)-ATPase (alpha W463F/beta Y341W) and monitoring nucleotide binding by fluorescence quenching of an introduced tryptophan, we found that P(i) interfered with the binding of MgATP to F(1)-ATPase, but binding of MgADP was interfered with to a lesser extent. Hydrolysis of MgATP by F(1)-ATPase during the experiments did not obscure the interpretation because another mutant, which was able to bind nucleotide but not hydrolyse ATP (alpha W463F/beta E190Q/beta Y341W), also gave the same results. The half-maximal concentrations of P(i) that suppressed the MgADP-inhibited form and interfered with MgATP binding were both approximately 20 mm. It is likely that the presence of P(i) at a catalytic site shifts the equilibrium from the MgADP-inhibited form to the enzyme-MgADP-P(i) complex, an active intermediate in the catalytic cycle.

Abstract
F(1)-ATPase is a rotary motor enzyme in which a single ATP molecule drives a 120 degrees rotation of the central gamma subunit relative to the surrounding alpha(3)beta(3) ring. Here, we show that the rotation of F(1)-ATPase spontaneously lapses into long (approximately 30 s) pauses during steady-state catalysis. The effects of ADP-Mg and mutation on the pauses, as well as kinetic comparison with bulk-phase catalysis, strongly indicate that the paused enzyme corresponds to the inactive state of F(1)-ATPase previously known as the ADP-Mg inhibited form in which F(1)-ATPase fails to release ADP-Mg from catalytic sites. The pausing position of the gamma subunit deviates from the ATP-waiting position and is most likely the recently found intermediate 90 degrees position.

Abstract
Isolated alpha- and beta-subunits of Thermophilic Bacillus PS3 F(1)ATPase (TF(1)) bind about 1 Fe(III) equivalent. Upon reassembling in the symmetric alpha(3)beta(3) hexamer, Fe(III) binding capacity decreases, as this complex binds about three Fe(III) equivalents. In accordance, when the hexamer is dissociated in the alpha(1)beta(1) heterodimer, each heterodimer binds about one Fe(III) equivalent. On the contrary, native TF(1) exhibits a single Fe(III) site. CD spectra in far UV indicate that upon Fe(III) binding both the whole complex and the isolated beta-subunit undergo structural modifications accompanied by decrease of alpha-helix content, while alpha-subunit doesn't. As in alpha(3)beta(3) and in the whole enzyme the number of bound Fe(III) equivalents is consistent with the number of beta-subunits in the "empty" conformation, it is inferred that the single Fe(III) site in TF(1) is probably located in beta(E).

Abstract
The ATP synthase from Escherichia coli was reconstituted into liposomes from phosphatidylcholine/phosphatidic acid. The proteoliposomes were energized by an acid-base transition and a K(+)/valinomycin diffusion potential, and one second after energization, the electrochemical proton gradient was dissipated by uncouplers, and the ATP hydrolysis measurement was started. In the presence of ADP and P(i), the initial rate of ATP hydrolysis was up to 9-fold higher with pre-energized proteoliposomes than with proteoliposomes that had not seen an electrochemical proton gradient. After dissipating the electrochemical proton gradient, the high rate of ATP hydrolysis decayed to the rate without pre-energization within about 15 s. During this decay the enzyme carried out approximately 100 turnovers. In the absence of ADP and P(i), the rate of ATP hydrolysis was already high and could not be significantly increased by pre-energization. It is concluded that ATP hydrolysis is inhibited when ADP and P(i) are bound to the enzyme and that a high Delta mu(H(+)) is required to release ADP and P(i) and to convert the enzyme into a high activity state. This high activity state is metastable and decays slowly when Delta mu(H(+)) is abolished. Thus, the proton motive force does not only supply energy for ATP synthesis but also regulates the fraction of active enzymes.

Abstract
In the crystal structure of mitochondrial F1-ATPase, two beta subunits with a bound Mg-nucleotide are in "closed" conformations, whereas the third beta subunit without bound nucleotide is in an "open" conformation. In this "CCO" (beta-closed beta-closed beta-open) conformational state, Ile-390s of the two closed beta subunits, even though they are separated by an intervening alpha subunit, have a direct contact. We replaced the equivalent Ile of the alpha3beta3gamma subcomplex of thermophilic F1-ATPase with Cys and observed the formation of the beta-beta cross-link through a disulfide bond. The analysis of conditions required for the cross-link formation indicates that: (i) F1-ATPase takes the CCO conformation when two catalytic sites are filled with Mg-nucleotide, (ii) intermediate(s) with the CCO conformation are generated during catalytic cycle, (iii) the Mg-ADP inhibited form is in the CCO conformation, and (iv) F1-ATPase dwells in conformational state(s) other than CCO when only one (or none) of catalytic sites is filled by Mg-nucleotide or when catalytic sites are filled by Mg2+-free nucleotide. The alpha3beta3gamma subcomplex containing the beta-beta cross-link retained the activity of uni-site catalysis but lost that of multiple catalytic turnover, suggesting that open-closed transition of beta subunits is required for the rotation of gamma subunit but not for hydrolysis of a single ATP.

Abstract
An X-ray structure of the F1 portion of the mitochondrial ATP synthase shows asymmetry and differences in nucleotide binding of the catalytic beta subunits that support the binding change mechanism with an internal rotation of the gamma subunit. Other structural and mutational probes of the F1 and F0 portions of the ATP synthase are reviewed, together with kinetic and other evaluations of catalytic site occupancy and behavior during hydrolysis or synthesis of ATP. Subunit function as related to proton translocation and rotational catalysis is considered. Physical demonstrations of the gamma subunit rotation have been achieved. The findings have implications for other enzymatic catalyses.

Abstract
F1-ATPases transiently entrap inhibitory MgADP in a catalytic site during turnover when noncatalytic sites are not saturated with ATP. An initial burst of ATP hydrolysis rapidly decelerates to a slow intermediate rate that gradually accelerates to a final steady-state rate. Transition from the intermediate to the final rate is caused by slow binding of ATP to noncatalytic sites which promotes dissociation of inhibitory MgADP from the affected catalytic site. Evidence from several laboratories suggests that the gamma subunit rotates with respect to alpha/beta subunit pairs of F1-ATPase during ATP hydrolysis. The alpha 3 beta 3 and alpha 3 beta 3 delta subcomplexes of the TF1-ATPase do not entrap inhibitory MgADP in a catalytic site during turnover, suggesting involvement of the gamma subunit in the entrapment process. From these observations, it is proposed that the gamma subunit moves into an abortive position for ATP hydrolysis when inhibitory MgADP is entrapped in a catalytic site during ATP hydrolysis.

Abstract
Except for the case of gradual activation of EF1 (F1-ATPase from Escherichia coli) caused by the dissociation of the epsilon subunit [Laget, P. P. and Smith, J. B. (1979) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 197, 83-89], EF1 has long been thought not to show a time-dependent change in activity [Senior, A.E. et al. (1992) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 297, 340-344]. Here, we report the time-dependent inactivation and activation of EF1, which are apparently similar to those of mitochondrial F1-ATPases [Vasilyeva, E.A. et al. (1982) Biochem. J. 202, 15-23]. Analysis of these changes as a function of ATP concentrations in relation to negative cooperativity revealed that the initial inactivation phase was attributable to the decrease in the Vmax associated with the low Km (around 10 microM), and the following activation, probably due to the dissociation of the epsilon subunit, corresponded to the increase in the Vmax associated with the high Km (in the order of 100 microM). Thus, the time-dependent change in EF1 activity is closely related to the apparent negative cooperativity (multiple Km values) of ATP hydrolysis.

Abstract
Changes in conformation of the epsilon-subunit of the bovine heart mitochondrial F1-ATPase complex as a result of nucleotide binding have been demonstrated from the phosphorescence emission of tryptophan. The triplet state lifetime shows that whereas nucleoside triphosphate binding to the enzyme in the presence of Mg2+ increases the flexibility of the protein structure surrounding the chromophore, nucleoside diphosphate acts in an opposite manner, enhancing the rigidity of this region of the macromolecule. Such changes in dynamic structure of the epsilon-subunit are evident at high ligand concentration added to both the nucleotide-depleted F1 (Nd-F1) and the F1 preparation containing the three tightly bound nucleotides (F1(2,1)). Since the effects observed are similar in both the F1 forms, the binding to the low affinity sites must be responsible for the conformational changes induced in the epsilon-subunit. This is partially supported by the observation that the Trp lifetime is not significantly affected by adding an equimolar concentration of adenine nucleotide to Nd-F1. The effects on protein structure of nucleotide binding to either catalytic or noncatalytic sites have been distinguished by studying the phosphorescence emission of the F1 complex prepared with the three noncatalytic sites filled and the three catalytic sites vacant (F1(3,0)). Phosphorescence lifetime measurements on this F1 form demonstrate that the binding of Mg-NTP to catalytic sites induces a slight enhancement of the rigidity of the epsilon-subunit. This implies that the binding to the vacant noncatalytic site of F1(2,1) must exert the opposite and larger effect of enhancing the flexibility of the protein structure observed in both Nd-F1 and F1(2,1). The observation that enhanced flexibility of the protein occurs upon addition of adenine nucleotides to F1(2,1) in the absence of Mg2+ provides direct support for this suggestion. The connection between changes in structure and the possible functional role of the epsilon-subunit is discussed.

Abstract
It was shown recently that ATP present at near saturating concentrations did not prevent binding and hydrolysis of submicromolar concentration of trinitrophenyl adenosine triphosphate (Tnp-ATP) by F1-ATPase [Murataliev, M. B. & Boyer, P. O. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 15431-15439]. To explore F1-ATPase binding sites that bind Tnp-ATP a new photoreactive analog of ATP, 2-azido-trinitrophenyl adenosine triphosphate (2-N3-Tnp-ATP) has been synthesized and used for photoaffinity labeling of mitochondrial F1-ATPase. The analog shares many properties of the parent non-azido Tnp-ATP as shown from spectral characteristics, binding with F1-ATPase, and kinetic and inhibition studies. 500 microM ATP does not prevent binding and hydrolysis of low concentrations of 2-N3-Tnp-ATP by F1-ATPase. Photoirradiation of the enzyme-analog complex formed under such conditions results in the labeling of the catalytic-site peptide. This shows that in the presence of near saturating ATP, Tnp-ATP can enter the catalytic cycle and inhibit ATP hydrolysis by initial binding at a third catalytic site. The results give strong evidence that only two catalytic sites need to have bound substrate for near maximal turnover rate, and that three catalytic sites of F1-ATPase participate equally in catalysis. When F1-ATPase binds substoichiometric 2-N3-Tnp-ATP in the presence of Mg2+, illumination of the inactive complex formed results in the covalent labeling of a catalytic site. This shows that F1-ATPase forms similar inactive complexes when ADP or Tnp-ADP is bound at a catalytic site in the presence of Mg2+. Exposure of the nucleotide-depleted F1-ATPase to 20 microM 2-N3-Tnp-ATP followed by a short incubation with excess of Tnp-ATP results in binding, and, upon illumination, in a covalent labeling of a non-catalytic-site peptide.

Abstract
The ADP(Mg2+)-deactivated oligomycin-sensitive F1-F0 ATPase of coupled submitochondrial particles treated with the substoichiometric amount of oligomycin was studied to test whether ATP synthesis and hydrolysis proceed in either direction through the same intermediates. The initial rates of ATP hydrolysis, oxidative phosphorylation, ATP-dependent, succinate-supported NAD+ reduction, and ATP-induced delta microH+ generation were measured using deactivated ATPase trapped by azide [Biochem. J. (1982) 202, 15-23]. Three ATP consuming reactions were strongly inhibited when azide was present in the assay mixtures, whereas ATP synthesis was not altered by azide. The unidirectional effect of azide is not consistent with three alternating binding sites mechanism operating in ATP synthesis and support our hypothesis on the existence of nucleotide(Mg2+)-controlled 'synthase' and 'hydrolase' states of the mitochondrial F1-F0 ATPase.

Abstract
Lineweaver-Burk plots for ATP hydrolysis catalyzed by bovine heart mitochondrial F1-ATPase (MF1) at 30 degrees C are biphasic, whereas they are linear at 15 degrees C. The rate of inactivation of the enzyme at 23 degrees C by 5'-[(p-fluorosulfonyl)benzoyl]adenosine (FSBA), which derivatizes noncatalytic nucleotide binding sites, is about 4 times faster when loss of activity is monitored at 15 degrees C as opposed to 30 degrees C. This suggests that maximal loss of ATPase monitored at 15 degrees C is observed when a single noncatalytic site is derivatized, whereas maximal inactivation at 30 degrees C requires modification of three noncatalytic sites. Prior incubation of MF1 depleted of endogenous nucleotides (nd-MF1) with pyrophosphate (PPi) stimulates ATPase activity 2-fold when assayed at 30 degrees C and pH 8.0. This stimulation correlates with binding of [32P]PPi to the second and third binding sites for PPi to be filled. Prior binding of PPi to nd-MF1 increases the rate of inactivation of the enzyme by FSBA at 23 degrees C about 4-fold when loss of activity is monitored at 30 degrees C and pH 8.0, whereas it does not affect the rate of inactivation when loss of ATPase is monitored at 15 degrees C or loss of ITPase is monitored at 30 degrees C. This indicates that the accelerated rate of inactivation induced by PPi when assays are conducted at 30 degrees C is not due to an increased rate of derivatization of noncatalytic sites. After 85% inactivation with FSBA, nd-MF1 retains the capacity to bind 2.8 mol of [32P]PPi per mole.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Comparison of profiles of radioactive peptides resolved by HPLC from tryptic digests of the bovine heart F1-ATPase depleted of nucleotides (nd-MF1) which had been photoinactivated with 2-N3-[beta-32P]ADP, on the one hand, and 2-[8-3H]ADP, on the other, shows that the beta phosphate of ADP tethered to tyrosine-beta 345 is slowly hydrolyzed in the presence of Mg2+. When nd-MF1 was photoinactivated with 2-N3-[8-3H]ADP in the absence of Mg2+, hydrolysis of the beta phosphate from ADP tethered to tyrosine-beta 345 was not observed. Subsequent addition of Mg2+ initiated conversion of ADP tethered to tyrosine-beta 345 to tethered AMP suggesting that functional groups at the catalytic site participate in the hydrolytic reaction.

Abstract
Unisite ATPase kinetic constants were measured for wild-type yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae F1-ATPase and F1-ATPase with the Thr197-->Ser mutation in the beta subunit. Under unisite conditions, the concentration of ATP is greater than that of the enzyme, ATP hydrolysis is slow and the affinity of the enzyme for ATP and ADP is high. The Thr197-->Ser mutation in the yeast F1-ATPase increases the specific activity of ATP hydrolysis threefold and makes the enzyme much less sensitive to azide and oxyanions [Mueller, D. M. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 16552-16556]. A unifying hypothesis is that the affinity of F1-ATPase for ADP is altered by azide, oxyanions and the Thr197-->Ser mutation. To address this hypothesis, kinetic and thermodynamic constants were measured for the wild-type and mutant enzymes in the absence and presence of azide and oxyanions. The results indicate that sulfite and azide do not significantly alter unisite thermodynamic binding constants of either enzyme for ADP at the catalytic site. The mutation Thr197-->Ser has little effect on the binding constant for ADP, or on other unisite kinetic constants of the enzyme, in the presence or absence of azide or oxyanions. However, the binding of ADP to the enzyme was affected by oxyanions and the Thr197-->Ser mutation as measured by determining the KiADP values for multisite ATPase activity (saturating ATP). The Ki for ADP on ATPase activity was measured for the wild-type and mutant enzymes in the presence and absence of sulfite under multisite conditions. Sulfite increases the KiADP values for ATP hydrolysis under multisite conditions approximately threefold for the wild-type and mutant enzymes and the Thr197-->Ser mutation increases KiADP ninefold. The effect of sulfite on KiADP is additive to the effect of the Thr197-->Ser mutation, suggesting that these are distinct effects. These results indicate that the effects of azide, oxyanions, and the Thr197-->Ser mutation on the biochemistry of F1-ATPase are limited primarily to multisite conditions. Both sulfite and the Thr197-->Ser mutation decrease the affinity of the enzyme for ADP, as measured by the increase in the Ki values. Furthermore, the mechanisms of activation by sulfite and the Thr197-->Ser mutations are different. This difference occurs despite their common biochemical consequences on the apparent affinity for ADP.

Abstract
The influences of total magnesium ion concentration at different total ATP concentrations, and of total ATP concentration, for different total magnesium ion concentrations, on the enzymatic rate of the isolated chloroplast F1 ATPase, have been followed by a chromatographic method consisting in the separation and determination of ADP. From the various series of curves, it is concluded that the experimental results (position of the maxima, Km values) are better fitted by a mechanism involving the activation of the enzyme by magnesium ion and hydrolysis of free ATP, rather than by the classical mechanism, for which the enzyme hydrolyzes the MgATP complex and is inhibited by Mg2+. Although the equations giving the reaction rate are similar in the two cases, the calculated values of Km are widely different. The value obtained from the classical mechanism does not agree with KD, the dissociation constant of the enzyme-substrate complex, measured by the Hummel and Dreyer method. Moreover, when the total ATP concentration tends toward the total magnesium ion concentration, the nucleotide binding to the enzyme tends toward zero, although it should be maximum if MgATP were the true substrate. Finally, the inhibitory effect of Na+ is more easily explained as a competition between this ion and the activating Mg2+, than by the classical mechanism.
