Abstract
F(1)-ATPase is a rotary motor protein in which 3 catalytic β-subunits in a stator α(3)β(3) ring undergo unidirectional and cooperative conformational changes to rotate the rotor γ-subunit upon adenosine triphosphate hydrolysis. The prevailing view of the mechanism behind this rotary catalysis elevated the γ-subunit as a "dictator" completely controlling the chemical and conformational states of the 3 catalytic β-subunits. However, our recent observations using high-speed atomic force microscopy clearly revealed that the 3 β-subunits undergo cyclic conformational changes even in the absence of the rotor γ-subunit, thus dethroning it from its dictatorial position. Here, we introduce our results in detail and discuss the possible operating principle behind the F(1)-ATPase, along with structurally related hexameric ATPases, also mentioning the possibility of generating hybrid nanomotors. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: 17th European Bioenergetics Conference (EBEC 2012).

Abstract
F(1) is an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-driven motor in which three torque-generating β subunits in the α(3)β(3) stator ring sequentially undergo conformational changes upon ATP hydrolysis to rotate the central shaft γ unidirectionally. Although extensive experimental and theoretical work has been done, the structural basis of cooperative torque generation to realize the unidirectional rotation remains elusive. We used high-speed atomic force microscopy to show that the rotorless F(1) still "rotates"; in the isolated α(3)β(3) stator ring, the three β subunits cyclically propagate conformational states in the counterclockwise direction, similar to the rotary shaft rotation in F(1). The structural basis of unidirectionality is programmed in the stator ring. These findings have implications for cooperative interplay between subunits in other hexameric ATPases.

Abstract
ATP synthase (F(o)F(1)) consists of an ATP-driven motor (F(1)) and a H(+)-driven motor (F(o)), which rotate in opposite directions. F(o)F(1) reconstituted into a lipid membrane is capable of ATP synthesis driven by H(+) flux. As the basic structures of F(1) (alpha(3)beta(3)gammadeltaepsilon) and F(o) (ab(2)c(10)) are ubiquitous, stable thermophilic F(o)F(1) (TF(o)F(1)) has been used to elucidate molecular mechanisms, while human F(1)F(o) (HF(1)F(o)) has been used to study biomedical significance. Among F(1)s, only thermophilic F(1) (TF(1)) can be analyzed simultaneously by reconstitution, crystallography, mutagenesis and nanotechnology for torque-driven ATP synthesis using elastic coupling mechanisms. In contrast to the single operon of TF(o)F(1), HF(o)F(1) is encoded by both nuclear DNA with introns and mitochondrial DNA. The regulatory mechanism, tissue specificity and physiopathology of HF(o)F(1) were elucidated by proteomics, RNA interference, cytoplasts and transgenic mice. The ATP synthesized daily by HF(o)F(1) is in the order of tens of kilograms, and is primarily controlled by the brain in response to fluctuations in activity.

Abstract
ATP synthase, a double-motor enzyme, plays various roles in the cell, participating not only in ATP synthesis but in ATP hydrolysis-dependent processes and in the regulation of a proton gradient across some membrane-dependent systems. Recent studies of ATP synthase as a potential molecular target for the treatment of some human diseases have displayed promising results, and this enzyme is now emerging as an attractive molecular target for the development of new therapies for a variety of diseases. Significantly, ATP synthase, because of its complex structure, is inhibited by a number of different inhibitors and provides diverse possibilities in the development of new ATP synthase-directed agents. In this review, we classify over 250 natural and synthetic inhibitors of ATP synthase reported to date and present their inhibitory sites and their known or proposed modes of action. The rich source of ATP synthase inhibitors and their known or purported sites of action presented in this review should provide valuable insights into their applications as potential scaffolds for new therapeutics for human and animal diseases as well as for the discovery of new pesticides and herbicides to help protect the world's food supply. Finally, as ATP synthase is now known to consist of two unique nanomotors involved in making ATP from ADP and P(i), the information provided in this review may greatly assist those investigators entering the emerging field of nanotechnology.

Abstract
The substrate kinetics and the role of free Mg(2+) and free ATP were studied in membrane-bound F(1)-ATPase from crayfish (Orconectes virilis) gills. It was shown that the MgATP complex was the true substrate for the ATPase activity with a K(m) value of 0.327 mM. In the absence of bicarbonate, the maximum azide-sensitive activities in the presence and absence (<18 microM) of free ATP were 0.878 and 0.520 micromol P(i)/mg protein/min, respectively, while the maximum bicarbonate-stimulated activity in absence of free ATP was 1.486 micromol P(i)/mg protein/min. Free ATP was a competitive inhibitor (K(i)=0.77 mM) and free Mg(2+) was a mixed inhibitor (K(i)=0.81 mM, K(i)'=5.89 mM). However, free ATP also acted as an activator. Lineweaver-Burk plots for MgATP hydrolysis at high free Mg(2+) concentrations exhibited an apparent negative cooperativity, which was not the case for high free ATP levels. These results suggest that, although free ATP inhibited the enzyme by binding to catalytic sites, it stimulated ATPase activity by binding to non-catalytic sites and promoted the dissociation of inhibitory MgADP from the catalytic site.

Abstract
Pre-steady state nucleotide binding to the chloroplast F1-ATPase (CF1) was measured in a stopped-flow apparatus by monitoring the change of fluorescence intensity of TNP-ADP upon binding. The analysis of the time courses led to the proposal of a mechanism of nucleotide binding with the following characteristics. (a) It involves three sites binding nucleotides in a concerted manner. (b) Each binding site is able to undergo a conformational change from a loose binding state into a state refraining from any direct release of the bound nucleotide into the medium. Only the reverse reaction via the loose binding state enables release out of the tight binding state. (c) Due to very strong negative cooperativity, a maximum of two of the three sites can be found in the state of tight binding. (d) Cooperativity between the three sites leads to a slower nucleotide binding of the second nucleotide compared to the first nucleotide. Furthermore, the conformational change from the loose binding state to the tight binding state is slowed down if one of the other sites already is in the tight binding state. Three-sites mechanisms in which rotation leads to an exchange of the properties of the binding sites failed to simulate the observed time courses of nucleotide binding. However, as the experimental set up was designed to prevent catalysis taking place, our results entirely agree with the current finding that rotation requires catalytic turnover of the enzyme.

Abstract
The isolation of ATP synthase (F0F1) (82) and F0 (83) 34 years ago finally revealed that F0F1 is a motor composed of F0 (ion-motor, abc subunits) and F1 (ATP-motor, alpha 3 beta 3 gamma delta epsilon subunits) (Fig. 1). The single molecule videotape (4, 5, 65, 66) revealed that gamma epsilon axis of F1 rotates counterclockwise, proceeds by each 2 pi/3 step, and is driven by torque of 42 pN.nm (12) with nearly 100% efficiency (5) (Fig. 4). The motor is composed of a rotor (gamma epsilon-F0-c) and a stator (alpha 3 beta 3 delta-F0-ab), and the rotor is connected to a shaft (gamma epsilon). Since F0F1 is driven by delta microH+ (9, 10, 84), biophysical studies on stable TF0F1 (1, 7) are essential to elucidate the mechanism. These include nanomechanics (4, 5) (Fig. 4), crystallography (2, 3) (Figs. 2 and 3), NMR (51, 52), ESR (56), synchrotron analysis (3, 28), and electrophysiology (10, 25). The KmATP value of rotation is 0.8 microM, with the Vmax of 3.9 rps (5). This corresponds to the bi-site catalysis in proton transport by F0F1 (10, 70, 84). X-ray crystallography of MF1 (2) and the alpha 3 beta 3 oligomer of TF1 (3) (Fig. 2) together with mutation analyses revealed the role of residues in the rotation. The idea of elastic energy store is proposed in alpha 3 beta 3 gamma during the stepping time (up to a few sec) after the ATP binding. Biological studies have partially clarified the genetic and kinetic regulation of the rotation in MF1. Both theories (6, 7, 62, 64, 85) and the biological significance (17) of the intramolecular rotation of F0F1 await further studies, especially those of F0 and minor subunits.

Abstract
A single molecule of ATP synthase (F0F1) is by itself a rotary motor, the smallest ever found, and this biomotor is driven by an electrochemical potential of H+ (delta microH+). F0F1 is composed of an ion-conducting portion (F0) and a catalytic portion (F1). The major breakthroughs in studies on the mechanochemical coupling have been the direct observation of the rotation of a stable alpha 3 beta 3 gamma complex of thermophilic F1 (TF1), and X-ray crystallography of the alpha 3 beta 3 gamma portion of mitochondrial F1 (MF1) and the alpha 3 beta 3 oligomer of TF1. This review focuses on the dynamics of TF1, demonstrated by a crucial experiment. The torque of the rotation was estimated to be 42 pN.nm from the delta microH+ and frictional force. Important unsolved problems are the crystallography of F0, elastic energy conversion, and the stator and rotor of this biomotor.

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
Photoaffinity labeling by 3'-O-(4-benzoyl)benzoyl adenosine 5'-triphosphate (BzATP) of the adenine nucleotide binding site(s) on isolated and complexed alpha and beta subunits of F1-ATPase from the thermophilic bacterium PS3 (TF1) is described. BzATP binds to both isolated alpha and beta subunits, to complexed beta subunit but not to complexed alpha subunit. Amino acid sequence determination of radiolabeled peptides obtained by proteolytic digestion of [gamma-32P]BzATP-labeled alpha subunit indicates that residues on both the amino-terminal (residues A41-E67) and carboxy-terminal (residues Q422-Q476) were modified by BzATP. One of the residues in the carboxy-terminal modified by BzATP is most probably alpha Q422. Although the binding stoichiometry of 1 mol of BzATP incorporated by either isolated or complexed beta subunit was maintained, the spatial conformation of the polypeptide determines which amino acid residue(s) is more accessible to the reactive radical. CNBr derived fragments beta G10-M64, beta E75-M233, and beta D390-M469 were labeled with the isolated beta subunit. With complexed beta subunit the label was found only in CNBr fragments: beta E75-M233 and beta G339-M389. The locations where the covalently bound BzATP was found, in the soluble and assembled subunits, indicate that different conformational states exist. In the isolated form of the alpha and beta subunits the amino- and carboxy-termini can fold and reach the central domain of the polypeptide, the domain containing the adenine nucleotide binding site. When alpha combines with beta to form the alpha 3 beta 3 core complex the new conformation of the subunits is such that covalent labeling by BzATP of alpha and of the amino terminal of beta subunit is excluded.

Abstract
ATP synthase (F0F1) is driven by an electrochemical potential of H+ (delta microH+). F0F1 is composed of an ion-conducting portion (F0) and a catalytic portion (F1). The subunit composition of F1 is a alpha 3 beta 3 gamma delta epsilon. The active alpha 3 beta 3 oligomer, characterized by X-ray crystallography, has been obtained only from thermophilic F1 (TF1). We proposed in 1984 that ATP is released from the catalytic site (C site) by a conformational change induced by the beta DELSEED sequence via gamma delta epsilon-F0. In fact, cross-linking of beta DELSEED to gamma stopped the ATP-driven rotation of gamma in the center of alpha 3 beta 3. The torque of the rotation is estimated to be 420 pN x A from the delta microH+ and H(+)-current through F0F1. The angular velocity (omega) of gamma is the rate-limiting step, because delta microH+ increased the Vmax of H+ current through F0, but not the Km(ATP). The rotational unit of F0 (= ab2c10) is pi/5, while that in alpha 3 beta 3 is 2 pi/3. This difference is overcome by an analog-digital conversion via elasticity around beta DELSEED with a threshold to release ATP. The alpha beta distance at the C site is about 9.6 A (2,8-diN3-ATP), and tight Mg-ATP binding in alpha 3 beta 3 gamma was shown by ESR. The rotational relaxation of TF1 is too rapid (phi = 100 nsec), but the rate of AT(D)P-induced conformational change of alpha 3 beta 3 measured with a synchrotron is close to omega. The ATP bound between the P-loop and beta E188 is released by the shift of beta DELSEED from gamma RGL. Considering the viscosity resistance and inertia of the free rotor (gamma-c), there may be a stator containing OSCP (= delta of TF1) and F0-d to hold free rotation of alpha 3 beta 3.

Abstract
The alpha 3 beta 3 gamma and alpha 3 beta 3 complexes of F1-ATPase from a thermophilic Bacillus PS3 were compared in terms of interaction with trinitrophenyl analogs of ATP and ADP (TNP-ATP and TNP-ADP) that differed from ATP and ADP and did not destabilize the alpha 3 beta 3 complex. The results of equilibrium dialysis show that the alpha 3 beta 3 gamma complex has a high affinity nucleotide binding site and several low affinity sites, whereas the alpha 3 beta 2 complex has only low affinity sites. This is also supported from analysis of spectral change induced by TNP-ADP, which in addition indicates that this high affinity site is located on the beta subunit. Single-site hydrolysis of substoichiometric amounts of TNP-ATP by the alpha 3 beta 3 gamma complex is accelerated by the chase addition of excess ATP, whereas that by the alpha 3 beta 3 complex is not. We further examined the complexes containing mutant beta subunits (Y341L, Y341A, and Y341C). Surprisingly, in spite of very weak affinity of the isolated mutant beta subunits to nucleotides (Odaka, M., Kaibara, C., Amano, T., Matsui, T., Muneyuki, E., Ogasawara, K, Yutani, K., and Yoshida, M. (1994) J. Biochem. (Tokyo) 115, 789-796), a high affinity TNP-ADP binding site is generated on the beta subunit in the mutant alpha 3 beta 3 gamma complexes where single-site TNP-ATP hydrolysis can occur. ATP concentrations required for the chase acceleration of the mutant complexes are higher than that of the wild-type complex. The mutant alpha 3 beta 3 complexes, on the contrary, catalyze single-site hydrolysis of TNP-ATP rather slowly, and there is no chase acceleration. Thus, the gamma subunit is responsible for the generation of a high affinity nucleotide binding site on the beta subunit in F1-ATPase where cooperative catalysis can proceed.

Abstract
F-type ATPase from the thermophilic Bacillus PS3, TF0F1, which was essentially free of bound nucleotides after isolation and purification, was co-reconstituted into liposomes with the light-driven proton pump bacteriorhodopsin. The time course of the light-induced ATP synthesis was biphasic; an initial slow phase accelerated to a final steady-state rate two to three times faster. Adding ATP before initiating the reaction suppressed the slow phase, suggesting that the state of occupancy of specific sites by ATP regulated the synthetic activity of TF0F1. Incubating the purified TF0F1 with ADP and ATP revealed one ADP and two ATP binding sites that were stable to gel filtration. We analyzed the time courses of light-induced ATP synthesis for the enzyme with different nucleotide content, after co-reconstitution into liposomes with bacteriorhodopsin. The two ATP sites were identified to have regulatory function. A complex containing TF0F1.ADP, 1:1, was co-reconstituted with various quantities of ATP to obtain a range of molar ratios of TF0F1.ADP:ATP of between 1:0 and 1:1.7. It was found that the initial rate of ATP synthesis increased with the level of ATP bound to the enzyme. After binding one ATP, a stimulation of ATP synthesis by a factor of 2 was observed. The second ATP site also exhibited regulatory properties. It stimulated ATP synthesis but to a much smaller extent; the stimulation did not exceed 20%. Binding of the photoreactive analogues 2-azido-[alpha-32P]ADP and 2-azido-[alpha-32P]ATP to the TF0F1 and their effects on the rate of ATP synthesis are described further.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

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
F1-ATPase has three interacting catalytic sites and shows complicated kinetics. Here, we report reconstitution of a complex, most likely composed of one alpha subunit and one beta subunit, with a single catalytic site from thermophilic Bacillus PS3 F1-ATPase on the solid surface. The complex has an ATPase activity which obeys a simple non-cooperative kinetics with a Km(ATP) of 70 microM and a Vmax of 0.1 unit/mg. Different from F1-ATPase, the complex is not inactivated by 7-chrolo-4-nitrobenzofrazan. Thus, the inherent activity attributable to a single catalytic site unaffected by other catalytic sites of F1-ATPase is characterized.

Abstract
The regulatory gamma subunit and an alpha beta complex were isolated from the catalytic F1 portion of the chloroplast ATP synthase. The isolated gamma subunit was devoid of catalytic activity, whereas the alpha beta complex exhibited a very low ATPase activity (approximately 200 nmol/min/mg of protein). The alpha beta complex migrated as a hexameric alpha 3 beta 3 complex during ultracentrifugation and gel filtration but reversibly dissociated into alpha and beta monomers after freezing and thawing in the presence of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid and in the absence of nucleotides. Conditions are described in which the gamma and alpha beta preparations were combined to rapidly and efficiently reconstitute a fully functional catalytic core enzyme complex. The reconstituted enzyme exhibited normal tight binding and sensitivity to the inhibitory epsilon subunit and to the allosteric inhibitor tentoxin. However, neither the alpha beta complex nor the isolated gamma subunit alone could bind the epsilon subunit or tentoxin with high affinity. Similarly, high affinity binding sites for ATP and ADP, which are characteristic of the core alpha 3 beta 3 gamma enzyme, were absent from the alpha beta complex. The results indicate that when the gamma subunit binds to the alpha beta complex, it induces a three-dimensional conformation in the enzyme, which is necessary for tight binding of the inhibitors and for high-affinity, asymmetric nucleotide binding.

Abstract
The photoactivatable aryl ketone derivatives have been rediscovered as biochemical probes in the last 5 years. The expanding use of benzophenone (BP) photoprobes can be attributed to three distinct chemical and biochemical advantages. First, BPs are chemically more stable than diazo esters, aryl azides, and diazirines. Second, BPs can be manipulated in ambient light and can be activated at 350-360 nm, avoiding protein-damaging wavelengths. Third, BPs react preferentially with unreactive C-H bonds, even in the presence of solvent water and bulk nucleophiles. These three properties combine to produce highly efficient covalent modifications of macromolecules, frequently with remarkable site specificity. This Perspectives includes a brief review of BP photochemistry and a selection of specific applications of these photoprobes, which address questions in protein, nucleic acid, and lipid biochemistry.

Abstract
The F1-ATPase from Bacillus PS3 (TF1) hydrolyzes 50 microM ATP in three kinetic phases. An initial burst rapidly decelerates to a partially inhibited, intermediate phase, which, in turn, gradually accelerates to an uninhibited, final steady-state rate. Lauryl dimethylamine oxide (LDAO) stimulates the final rate over 4-fold. The stimulatory effect saturates at about 0.1% LDAO. Under these conditions, the intermediate phase is nearly absent. Dequalinium inhibits TF1 reversibly in the dark in the presence or absence of LDAO. The apparent affinity of TF1 for dequalinium increases in the presence of LDAO. Dixon plots of the initial rates of the intermediate phase and the final rates against dequalinium concentration at a series of fixed ATP concentrations in the presence and absence of 0.03% LDAO indicate noncompetitive inhibition in each case. Replots of the slopes of the Dixon plots for the initial rate of the intermediate phase and the final rate against 1/[ATP] reveal apparent Km values of 770 microM and 144 microM, respectively, when obtained in the absence of LDAO. The apparent Km values determined from the data obtained in the presence of LDAO for the same phases are 303 microM and 163 microM, respectively. These results suggest that LDAO stimulates ATPase activity either by increasing the affinity of noncatalytic sites for ATP, which promotes release of inhibitory MgADP from a catalytic site, or by directly promoting release of MgADP from the affected catalytic site. Dequalinium retards this process without affecting the affinity of noncatalytic sites for ATP. When irradiated in the presence of dequalinium, TF1 is rapidly inactivated with an apparent Kd of 12.5 microM in the presence or absence of LDAO.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Two catalytic structures of H(+)-motive ATP synthase (Fig. 1), the alpha 3 beta 3 oligomer (M(r) = 319,581) and alpha 1 beta 1 promoter (M(r) = 106,527) (Fig. 2), were isolated using high pressure liquid chromatography (Fig. 3) and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Figs. 4 and 5). These were reconstituted from the alpha and beta subunits of thermophilic F1 (TF1), and the alpha 3 beta 3 oligomer was also crystallized. Common to both F1 and the alpha 3 beta 3 oligomer were the nucleotide specificity, the two Km values, the presence of protomer-oligomer activities, and the one-hit--one-kill phenomenon. A synchrotron experiment on the ATP hydrolysis cycle revealed the dynamic shrinkage and expansion of F1(44) that correspond, respectively, to the ATP-induced association and ADP-induced dissociation of the alpha 3 beta 3 oligomer. The oligomer, like mitochondrial F1 and TF1, exhibited two kinds of ATPase activity: one was cooperative and was inhibited by only one inhibitor per hexamer, and the other was inhibited by three inhibitors per hexamer.

Abstract
The basic structures of the catalytic portion (F1, alpha 3 beta 3 gamma delta epsilon) of ATP synthase are the alpha 3 beta 3 hexamer (oligomer with cooperativity) and alpha 1 beta 1 heterodimer (protomer). These were reconstituted from the alpha and beta subunits of thermophilic F1 (TF1), and the alpha 3 beta 3 hexamer was crystallized. On electrophoresis, both the dimer and hexamer showed bands with ATPase activity. Using the dimer and hexamer, we studied the nucleotide-dependent rapid molecular dynamics. The formation of the hexamer required neither nucleotide nor Mg. The hexamer was dissociated into the dimer in the presence of MgADP, while the dimer was associated into the hexamer in the presence of MgATP. The hexamer, like mitochondrial F1 and TF1, showed two kinds of ATPase activity: one was cooperative and was inhibited by only one BzADP per hexamer, and the other was inhibited by three BzADP per hexamer.

Abstract
This review focuses on the location and interaction of three functional sites in F1-ATPases. These are catalytic sites which are located in beta subunits, noncatalytic nucleotide-binding sites which are located at interfaces of alpha and beta subunits and modulate the hydrolytic activity of the enzyme, and a site that binds inhibitory amphipathic cations which is at an interface of alpha and beta subunits. The latter site may participate in transmission of conformational signals between catalytic sites in F1 and the proton-conducting apparatus of F0 in the intact ATP synthases.
