Abstract
For functional characterization, we isolated the F1FO-ATP synthase of the thermophilic cyanobacterium Thermosynechococcus elongatus. Because of the high content of phycobilisomes, a combination of dye-ligand chromatography and anion exchange chromatography was necessary to yield highly pure ATP synthase. All nine single F1FO subunits were identified by mass spectrometry. Western blotting revealed the SDS stable oligomer of subunits c in T. elongatus. In contrast to the mass archived in the database (10,141 Da), MALDI-TOF-MS revealed a mass of the subunit c monomer of only 8238 Da. A notable feature of the ATP synthase was its ability to synthesize ATP in a wide temperature range and its stability against chaotropic reagents. After reconstitution of F1FO into liposomes, ATP synthesis energized by an applied electrochemical proton gradient demonstrated functional integrity. The highest ATP synthesis rate was determined at the natural growth temperature of 55 degrees C, but even at 95 degrees C ATP production occurred. In contrast to other prokaryotic and eukaryotic ATP synthases which can be disassembled with Coomassie dye into the membrane integral and the hydrophilic part, the F1FO-ATP synthase possessed a particular stability. Also with the chaotropic reagents sodium bromide and guanidine thiocyanate, significantly harsher conditions were required for disassembly of the thermophilic ATP synthase.

Abstract
The structure of the F(1)-ATPase from spinach chloroplasts was determined to 3.2 A resolution by molecular replacement based on the homologous structure of the bovine mitochondrial enzyme. The crystallized complex contains four different subunits in a stoichiometry of alpha(3)beta(3)gammaepsilon. Subunit delta was removed before crystallization to improve the diffraction of the crystals. The overall structure of the noncatalytic alpha-subunits and the catalytic beta-subunits is highly similar to those of the mitochondrial and thermophilic subunits. However, in the crystal structure of the chloroplast enzyme, all alpha- and beta-subunits adopt a closed conformation and appear to contain no bound adenine nucleotides. The superimposed crystallographic symmetry in the space group R32 impaired an exact tracing of the gamma- and epsilon-subunits in the complex. However, clear electron density was present at the core of the alpha(3)beta(3)-subcomplex, which probably represents the C-terminal domain of the gamma-subunit. The structure of the spinach chloroplast F(1) has a potential binding site for the phytotoxin, tentoxin, at the alphabeta-interface near betaAsp(83) and an insertion from betaGly(56)-Asn(60) in the N-terminal beta-barrel domain probably increases the thermal stability of the complex. The structure probably represents an inactive latent state of the ATPase, which is unique to chloroplast and cyanobacterial enzymes.

Abstract
The Mg(2+) cofactor of the F(1)F(0) ATP synthase is required for the asymmetry of the catalytic sites that leads to the differences in affinity for nucleotides. Vanadyl (V(IV)=O)(2+) is a functional surrogate for Mg(2+) in the F(1)-ATPase. The (51)V-hyperfine parameters derived from EPR spectra of VO(2+) bound to specific sites on the enzyme provide a direct probe of the metal ligands at each site. Site-directed mutations of residues that serve as metal ligands were found to cause measurable changes in the (51)V-hyperfine parameters of the bound VO(2+), thereby providing a means by which metal ligands were identified in the functional enzyme in several conformations. At the low-affinity catalytic site comparable to beta(E) in mitochondrial F(1), activation of the chloroplast F(1)-ATPase activity induces a conformational change that inserts the P-loop threonine and catch-loop tyrosine hydroxyl groups into the metal coordination sphere thereby displacing an amino group and the Walker homology B aspartate. Kinetic evidence suggests that coordination of this tyrosine by the metal when the empty site binds substrate may provide an escapement mechanism that allows the gamma subunit to rotate and the conformation of the catalytic sites to change, thereby allowing rotation only when the catalytic sites are filled. In the high-affinity conformation analogous to the beta(DP) site of mitochondrial F(1), the catch-loop tyrosine has been displaced by carboxyl groups from the Walker homology B aspartate and from betaE197 in Chlamydomonas CF(1). Coordination of the metal by these carboxyl groups contributes significantly to the ability of the enzyme to bind the nucleotide with high affinity.

Abstract
To gain a pure enzyme preparation for functional and crystallization studies, an additional purification step in the isolation of the chloroplast ATP synthase (CF(0)F(1)) has been introduced. By applying gel filtration or anion exchange perfusion chromatography in presence of the detergents CHAPS and n-dodecyl-beta-d-maltoside, respectively, Rubisco and other contaminants were separated from CF(0)F(1). The purity and activity depended on the chromatographic method and the detergent employed. The highest purity and activity were achieved by anion exchange chromatography for the detergent dodecyl-maltoside and by gel filtration for the detergent CHAPS. The detergent Triton X-100, which is frequently used to solubilize CF(0)F(1), was found to be inadequate to stabilize the ATP synthase during chromatography.

Abstract
Site-directed mutations D262C, D262H, D262N, and D262T were made to the beta subunit Walker Homology B aspartate of chloroplast F(1)-ATPase in Chlamydomonas. Photoautotrophic growth and photophosphorylation rates were 3-14% of wild type as were ATPase activities of purified chloroplast F(1) indicating that betaD262 is an essential residue for catalysis. The EPR spectrum of vanadyl bound to Site 3 of chloroplast F(1) as VO(2+)-ATP gave rise to two EPR species designated B and C in wild type and mutants. (51)V-hyperfine parameters of species C, present exclusively in the activated enzyme state, did not change significantly by the mutations examined indicating that it is not an equatorial ligand to VO(2+), nor is it hydrogen-bonded to a coordinated water at an equatorial position. Every mutation changed the ratio of EPR species C/B and/or the (51)V-hyperfine parameters of species B, the predominant conformation of VO(2+)-nucleotide bound to Site 3 in the latent (down-regulated) state. The results indicate that the Walker Homology B aspartate coordinates the metal of the predominant metal-nucleotide conformation at Site 3 in the latent state but not in the conformation present exclusively upon activation and elucidates one of the specific changes in metal ligation involved with activation.

Abstract
Site-directed mutations were made to the phosphate-binding loop threonine in the beta-subunit of the chloroplast F1-ATPase in Chlamydomonas (betaT168). Rates of photophosphorylation and ATPase-driven proton translocation measured in coupled thylakoids purified from betaT168D, betaT168C, and betaT168L mutants had <10% of the wild type rates, as did rates of Mg2+-ATPase activity of purified chloroplast F1-ATPase (CF1). The EPR spectra of VO2+-ATP bound to Site 3 of CF1 from wild type and mutants showed that EPR species C, formed exclusively upon activation, was altered in CF1 from each mutant in both signal intensity and in 51V hyperfine parameters that depend on the equatorial VO2+ ligands. These data provide the first direct evidence that Site 3 is a catalytic site. No significant differences between wild type and mutants were observed in EPR species B, the predominant form of the latent enzyme. Thus, the phosphate-binding loop threonine is an equatorial metal ligand in the activated conformation but not in the latent conformation of Site 3. The metal-nucleotide conformation that gives rise to species B is consistent with the Mg2+-ADP complex that becomes entrapped in a catalytic site in a manner that regulates enzymatic activity. The lack of catalytic function of CF1 with entrapped Mg2+-ADP may be explained in part by the absence of the phosphate-binding loop threonine as a metal ligand.

Abstract
A new chromatographic procedure for purification of the membrane extrinsic F1-domain of chloroplast ATP synthase is presented. The purification is achieved by a single anion exchange chromatography step. Determination of the enzyme-bound nucleotides reveals only 1 mole of ADP per complex. The purified enzyme shows a latent Ca(2+)-dependent ATPase activity of 1.0 mumol.mg-1 min-1 and a Mg(2+)-dependent activity of 4.4 mumol.mg-1 .min-1. Both activities are increased up to 8-10-fold after dithiothreitol activation. Analysis of the purified F1-complex by SDS/PAGE, silver staining and immunoblotting revealed that the preparation is uncontaminated by fragmented subunits or ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase. Gel filtration experiments indicate that the preparation is homogenous and monodisperse. In order to determine the solubility minimum of the purified F1-complex the isoelectric point of the preparation was calculated from pH mapping on ion exchange columns. In agreement with calculations based on the amino acid sequence, a slightly acidic pI of 5.7 was found. Using ammonium sulphate as a precipitant the purified CF1-complex could be crystallized by MicroBatch.

Abstract
The F0F1 ATP synthase of chloroplasts was imaged using atomic force microscopy (AFM) in contact mode under physiological conditions. Chloroplast (CF0F1) ATP synthases were reconstituted into liposomes. Liposomes were adsorbed on a mica surface where they spread and formed lipid bilayers containing CF0F1 ATP synthases which could be imaged. From these reconstituted CF0F1 ATP synthases, the CF1 part could be removed either by application of a chemical denaturant or less efficiently by mechanical stripping with the AFM tip. Embedded in the lipid bilayer were seen ring-like structures with a central dimple with outer diameters of 20 +/- 3 nm (chemical denaturant) and ca. 7 nm (mechanical stripping), respectively. Ring-like structures were also observed in a protein-free lipid bilayer. These had diameters of 30 +/- 5 nm and could be clearly distinguished from the structures observed after mechanical stripping. Hence, the ring-like structures observed after mechanical stripping might represent the intrinsic membrane domain CF0 or the oligomer of its subunit III. In addition, isolated CF1 adsorbed directly onto the mica surface was imaged. In accordance with the size known from electron microscopy, a diameter of 13 +/- 4 nm was measured.

Abstract
The structure of the core catalytic unit of ATP synthase, alpha 3 beta 3 gamma, has been determined by X-ray crystallography, revealing a roughly symmetrical arrangement of alternating alpha and beta subunits around a central cavity in which helical portions of gamma are found. A low-resolution structural model of F0, based on electron spectroscopic imaging, locates subunit a and the two copies of subunit b outside of a subunit c oligomer. The structures of individual subunits epsilon and c (largely) have been solved by NMR spectroscopy, but the oligomeric structure of c is still unknown. The structures of subunits a and delta remain undefined, that of b has not yet been defined but biochemical evidence indicates a credible model. Subunits gamma, epsilon, b, and delta are at the interface between F1 and F0; gamma epsilon complex forms one element of the stalk, interacting with c at the base and alpha and beta at the top. The locations of b and delta are less clear. Elucidation of the structure F0, of the stalk, and of the entire F1F0 remains a challenging goal.

Abstract
How biological systems make ATP has intrigued many scientists for well over half the 20th century, and because of the importance and complexity of the problem it seems likely to continue to be a source of fascination to both senior and younger investigators well into the 21st century. Scientific battles fought to unravel the vast secrets by which ATP synthases work have been fierce, and great victories have been short-lived, tempered with the realization that more structures are needed, additional subunits remain to be conquered, and that during ATP synthesis, not one, but several subunits may undergo either significant conformational changes, repositioning, or perhaps even physical "rotation" similar to bacterial flagella (1,2). In this introductory article, the author briefly summarizes our current knowledge about the complex substructure of ATP synthases, what we have learned from X-ray crystallography of the F1 unit, and current evidence for subunit movements.

Abstract
Incubation of chloroplast thylakoids with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate for a short time (5 s) modified the lysine residues of the gamma subunit of ATP synthase. Energization of thylakoids by illumination increased the reactivity of Lys24 by a factor of three and decreased the reactivity of Lys30 to 60%. The reactivities of these residues reached their maximum and minimum values, respectively, within 1 s after the onset of illumination. Illumination of thylakoids increased the reactivities of Lys222 and Lys231 in two steps by a factor of three. The first step was completed within 1 s and the second step was completed 20-30 s after the onset of illumination. In the presence of 10 mM NH4Cl, illumination of thylakoids did not change the reactivities of these lysine residues. These results suggest that the Lys24- and Lys30-containing region of the gamma subunit changes its conformation rapidly in response to delta mu H+ and that the Lys222- and Lys231-containing region of the gamma subunit changes its conformation in two steps in response to delta mu H+ formation.

Abstract
The F1F0 ATP synthase is the large multisubunit complex which uses the proton gradient of energetically active membranes to synthesize ATP. While biochemical and genetic approaches have characterized the composition of the enzyme and elucidated many details of its mechanism and assembly, electron microscopy has been the tool of primary importance in determining the arrangement of the many subunits which comprise the F1F0. The highly cooperative catalytic mechanism is tightly coupled to transmembrane proton translocation in a separate and rather distant sector of the complex. An understanding of this intricate process and its control requires an appreciation of subunit interactions, starting with their locations relative to one another. Electron microscopy has provided most of the available structural information on the F1F0, and recent applications of cryo-electron microscopy have captured different functionally relevant configurations which may finally address longstanding questions about subunit rearrangements during the catalytic cycle.

Abstract
The single sulfhydryl residue (cysteine-63) of the beta subunit of the chloroplast ATP synthase F1 (CF1) was accessible to labeling reagents only after removal of the beta subunit from the enzyme complex. This suggests that cysteine-63 may be located at an interface between the beta and the alpha subunits of CF1, although alternative explanations such as a conformational change in beta brought about by its release from CF1 cannot be ruled out. Cysteine-63 was specifically labeled with [(diethylamino)methylcoumarinyl]-maleimide, and the distance between this site and trinitrophenyl-ADP at the nucleotide binding site on beta was mapped using fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Cysteine-63 is located in a hydrophobic pocket, 42 A away from the nucleotide binding site on beta.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
F0F1 ATP synthases synthesize ATP in their F1 portion at the expense of free energy supplied by proton flow which enters the enzyme through their channel portion F0. The smaller subunits of F1, especially subunit delta, may act as energy transducers between these rather distant functional units. We have previously shown that chloroplast delta, when added to thylakoids partially depleted of the coupling factor CF1, can reconstitute photophosphorylation by inhibiting proton leakage through exposed coupling factor CF0. In view of controversies in the literature, we reinvestigated two further aspects related to subunit delta, namely (a) its stoichiometry in CF0CF1 and (b) whether or not delta is required for photophosphorylation. By rocket immunoelectrophoresis of thylakoid membranes and calibration against purified delta, we confirmed a stoichiometry of one delta per CF0CF1. In CF1-depleted thylakoids photophosphorylation could be reconstituted not only by adding CF1 and subunit delta but, surprisingly, also by CF1 (-delta). We found that the latter was attributable to a contamination of CF1 (-delta) preparations with integral CF1. To lesser extent CF1 (-delta) acted by complementary rebinding to CF0 channels that were closed because they contained delta [CF0(+delta)]. This added catalytic capacity to proton-tight thylakoid vesicles. The ability of subunit delta to control proton flow through CF0 and the absolute requirement for delta in restoration of photophosphorylation suggest an essential role of this small subunit at the interface between the large portions of ATP synthase: delta may be part of the coupling site between electrochemical, conformational and chemical events in this enzyme.

Abstract
The genes encoding the nine polypeptides of the ATP synthase from Synechococcus sp. PCC 6301, a unicellular cyanobacterium, and Anabaena sp. PCC 7120, a filamentous cyanobacterium, have recently been isolated and their sequences determined. These represent the first such sequences available from procaryotic organisms that perform oxygenic photosynthesis. Similar to the organization in chloroplasts, the ATP synthase genes of both cyanobacteria are arranged in two gene clusters which are not closely linked in the chromosome. Three of the genes located in one cluster in cyanobacteria, however, are localized in the nuclear rather than the chloroplast genomes of plants. The cyanobacterial ATP synthase genes are ordered in the same manner as those in the single gene cluster of Escherichia coli. Cyanobacteria contain an additional gene denoted atpG which appears to be a duplicated and diverged from of the atpF gene. The larger cyanobacterial cluster, atp 1, is comprised of eight ATP synthase subunit genes arranged in the order atpI-atpH-atpG-atpF-atpD-atpA-atpC. An overlap between the atpF and atpD gene coding regions observed in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 is absent in both Synechococcus sp. PCC 6301 and E. coli. The second cluster of genes, atp 2, contains the remaining two ATP synthase genes in the order atpB-atpE. Unlike the situation in many chloroplast genomes, this gene pair does not overlap in either cyanobacterial species. In Anabaena sp. PCC 7120, atp 1 and atp 2 each comprise an operon and the transcription initiation sites for each gene cluster have been identified. The cyanobacterial ATP synthase subunits are much more closely related in sequence to the equivalent polypeptides from chloroplasts than they are to those of E. coli. The similarity in chloroplast and cyanobacterial ATP synthase subunit sequences and gene oreganization argue strongly for an endosymbiotic origin for plant chloroplasts.

Abstract
The results of Section IV can be summarized in a simple ATP synthase model. This model implies that either the alpha or the beta subunits must be closer to the membrane. The work of Gao and Bauerlein (1987) indicates that the alpha subunits are closer to the membrane. Although the overall structure is more or less clear, important questions need to be clarified. First, the number and the arrangement of the subunits in the F0 part must be known. Second, the exact shape of F1, and particularly the shape of the large subunits needs to be elucidated. On the basis of fluorescence resonance energy transfer measurements by McCarty and Hammes (1987), a model was presented showing large oblong subunits. Such 'banana-shaped' subunits, which are also presented in the many phantasy models (e.g. Walker et al., 1982), are very unlikely in view of the electron microscopical results, although the large subunits do not need to be exactly spherical. The third and most interesting central question is on the changes in the structure that take place during the different steps in the synthesis of ATP. It can now be taken as proven that the energy transmitted to the ATP synthase is used to induce a conformational change in the latter enzyme, in such a way as to bring about the energy-requiring dissociation of already synthesized ATP (Penefsky, 1985 and reviewed in Slater, 1987). But the way in which the three parts of the ATP synthase are involved is completely unknown. It is rather puzzling that such a long distance exists between the catalytic sites, which are on the interface of the alpha and beta subunits and the F0 part where the proton movements occur, which, according to Mitchell's theory (1961), is the driving force for the synthesis of ATP. Perhaps alternative mechanisms such as the collision hypothesis formulated by Herweijer et al. (1985) are more realistic in describing the mechanism of ATP synthesis. It would bring the complexes I and V close together, not only in the artificial way treated in this paper, but in a useful way for energy conversion.

Abstract
Exposure of chloroplast F1 ATPase to 2-azido-ATP results in the noncovalent tight binding of 2-azido-ATP or 2-azido-ADP to noncatalytic or to catalytic sites. Subsequent photolysis results in covalent labeling of adjacent tryptic peptides of the beta-subunit. Binding at noncatalytic sites results in labeling of tyrosine 385 by an ATP or an ADP moiety. Binding at catalytic sites results in labeling of tyrosine 362 by only an ADP moiety. Similar labeling patterns are observed for the heat-activated or the membrane-bound enzymes.
