Abstract
The F1-ATPase enzyme is the smallest-known molecular motor that rotates in 120° steps, driven by the hydrolysis of ATP. It is a multi-subunit enzyme that contains three catalytic sites. A central question is how the elementary chemical reactions that occur in the three sites are coupled to mechanical rotation. Various models and coupling schemes have been formulated in an attempt to answer this question. They can be classified as 2-site (bi-site) models, exemplified by Boyer's binding change mechanism first proposed 50 years ago, and 3-site (tri-site) models such as Nath's torsional mechanism, first postulated 25 years ago and embellished 1 year back. Experimental data collated using diverse approaches have conclusively shown that steady-state ATP hydrolysis by F1-ATPase occurs in tri-site mode. Hence older models have been continually modified to make them conform to the new facts. Here, we have developed a pure mathematical approach based on combinatorics and conservation laws to test if proposed models are 2-site or 3-site. Based on this novel combinatorial approach, we have proved that older and modified models are effectively bi‒site models in that catalysis and rotation in F1-ATPase occurs in these models with only two catalytic sites occupied by bound nucleotide. Hence these models contradict consensus experimental data. The recent 2023 model of ATP hydrolysis by F1-ATPase has been proved to be a true tri-site model based on our novel mathematical approach. Such pure mathematical proofs constitute an important step forward for ATP mechanism. However, in what must be considered an aspect with great scientific potential, the power of such mathematical proofs has not been fully exploited to solve molecular biological problems, in our opinion. We believe that the creative application of pure mathematical proofs (for another example see Nath in Theory Biosci 141:249-260, 2022) can help resolve with finality various longstanding molecular-level issues that arise as a matter of course in the analysis of fundamental biological problems. Such issues have proved extraordinarily difficult to resolve by standard experimental, theoretical, or computational approaches.

[PMID: 38005208 PMCID: PMC10673332 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28227486] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 11/04/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
The integration of phosphorus chemistry with the mechanism of ATP synthesis/hydrolysis requires dynamical information during ATP turnover and catalysis. Oxygen exchange reactions occurring at β-catalytic sites of the FOF1-ATP synthase/F1-ATPase imprint a unique record of molecular events during the catalytic cycle of ATP synthesis/hydrolysis. They have been shown to provide valuable time-resolved information on enzyme catalysis during ATP synthesis and ATP hydrolysis. The present work conducts new experiments on oxygen exchange catalyzed by submitochondrial particles designed to (i) measure the relative rates of Pi-ATP, Pi-HOH, and ATP-HOH isotope exchanges; (ii) probe the effect of ADP removal on the extent of inhibition of the exchanges, and (iii) test their uncoupler sensitivity/resistance. The objectives have been realized based on new experiments on submitochondrial particles, which show that both the Pi-HOH and ATP-HOH exchanges occur at a considerably higher rate relative to the Pi-ATP exchange, an observation that cannot be explained by previous mechanisms. A unifying explanation of the kinetic data that rationalizes these observations is given. The experimental results in (ii) show that ADP removal does not inhibit the intermediate Pi-HOH exchange when ATP and submitochondrial particles are incubated, and that the nucleotide requirement of the intermediate Pi-HOH exchange is adequately met by ATP, but not by ADP. These results contradicts the central postulate in Boyer's binding change mechanism of reversible catalysis at a F1 catalytic site with Keq~1 that predicts an absolute requirement of ADP for the occurrence of the Pi-HOH exchange. The prominent intermediate Pi-HOH exchange occurring under hydrolytic conditions is shown to be best explained by Nath's torsional mechanism of energy transduction and ATP synthesis/hydrolysis, which postulates an essentially irreversible cleavage of ATP by mitochondria/particles, independent from a reversible formation of ATP from ADP and Pi. The explanation within the torsional mechanism is also shown to rationalize the relative insensitivity of the intermediate Pi-HOH exchange to uncouplers observed in the experiments in (iii) compared to the Pi-ATP and ATP-HOH exchanges. This is shown to lead to new concepts and perspectives based on ligand displacement/substitution and ligand permutation for the elucidation of the oxygen exchange reactions within the framework of fundamental phosphorus chemistry. Fast mechanisms that realize the rotation/twist, tilt, permutation and switch of ligands, as well as inversion at the γ-phosphorus synchronously and simultaneously and in a concerted manner, have been proposed, and their stereochemical consequences have been analyzed. These considerations take us beyond the binding change mechanism of ATP synthesis/hydrolysis in bioenergetics.

Different effects of guanine nucleotides (GDP and GTP) on protein-mediated mitochondrial proton leak. PLoS One 2014; 9:e98969.

Abstract
In this study, we compared the influence of GDP and GTP on isolated mitochondria respiring under conditions favoring oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and under conditions excluding this process, i.e., in the presence of carboxyatractyloside, an adenine nucleotide translocase inhibitor, and/or oligomycin, an FOF1-ATP synthase inhibitor. Using mitochondria isolated from rat kidney and human endothelial cells, we found that the action of GDP and GTP can differ diametrically depending on the conditions. Namely, under conditions favoring OXPHOS, both in the absence and presence of linoleic acid, an activator of uncoupling proteins (UCPs), the addition of 1 mM GDP resulted in the state 4 (non-phosphorylating respiration)-state 3 (phosphorylating respiration) transition, which is characteristic of ADP oxidative phosphorylation. In contrast, the addition of 1 mM GTP resulted in a decrease in the respiratory rate and an increase in the membrane potential, which is characteristic of UCP inhibition. The stimulatory effect of GDP, but not GTP, was also observed in inside-out submitochondrial particles prepared from rat kidney mitochondria. However, the effects of GDP and GTP were more similar in the presence of OXPHOS inhibitors. The importance of these observations in connection with the action of UCPs, adenine nucleotide translocase (or other carboxyatractyloside-sensitive carriers), carboxyatractyloside- and purine nucleotide-insensitive carriers, as well as nucleoside-diphosphate kinase (NDPK) are considered. Because the measurements favoring oxidative phosphorylation better reflect in vivo conditions, our study strongly supports the idea that GDP cannot be considered a significant physiological inhibitor of UCP. Moreover, it appears that, under native conditions, GTP functions as a more efficient UCP inhibitor than GDP and ATP.

Abstract
Nucleotide binding to nucleotide-depleted F(1)-ATPase from Escherichia coli (EcF(1)) during MgATP hydrolysis in the presence of excess epsilon subunit has been studied using a combination of centrifugal filtration and column-centrifugation methods. The results show that nucleotide-binding properties of catalytic sites on EcF(1) are affected by the state of occupancy of noncatalytic sites. The ATP-concentration dependence of catalytic-site occupancy during MgATP hydrolysis demonstrates that a bi-site mechanism is responsible for the positive catalytic cooperativity observed during multi-site catalysis by EcF(1). The results suggest that a bi-site mechanism is a general feature of F(1) catalysis.

Abstract
A thermostable D-xyloseglucose isomerase was isolated from the thermophilic strain Streptomyces thermovulgaris 127, var. 7-86, as a result of mutagenic treatment by γ-irradiation of the parent strain, by precipitation and sequential chromatographies on DEAESephadex A50, TSK-gel, FPLC-Mono Q/HR, and Superose 12 columns. The N-terminal amino acid sequence and amino acid analysis shows 7392% homology with xyloseglucose isomerases from other sources. The native molecular mass, determined by gel filtration on a Superose 12 column, is 180 kDa, and 44.6 and 45 kDa were calculated, based on amino acid analysis and 10% SDS-PAGE, respectively. Both, the activity and stability of the enzyme were investigated toward pH, temperature, and denaturation with guanidine hydrochloride. The enzyme activity showed a clear pH optimum between pH 7.2 and 9.0 with D-glucose and 7.4 and 8.3 with D-xylose as substrates, respectively. The enzyme is active up to 6085°C at pH 7.0, using D-glucose, and up to 5060°C at pH 7.6, using D-xylose as substrates. The activation energy (Ea = 46 kJ·mol1) and the critical temperature (Tc = 60°C) were determined by fluorescence spectroscopy. Tc is in close coincidence with the melting temperature of denaturation (Tm = 59°C), determined by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. The free energy of stabilization in water after denaturation with Gdn.HCl was calculated to be 12 kJ·mol1. The specific activity (km values) for D-xylose-glucose isomerase at 70°C toward different substrates, D-xylose, D-glucose, and D-ribose, were determined to be 4.4, 55.5, and 13.3 mM, recpectively.Key words: D-xylose-glucose isomerase, protein sequencing, protein stability, protein denaturation.

Abstract
A suggested minimal scheme for substrate binding by and interconversion of three forms of the catalytic sites of the ATP synthase is presented. Each binding change, that drives simultaneous interchange of the three catalytic site forms, requires a 120 degrees rotation of the gamma with respect to the beta subunits. The binding of substrate(s) at two catalytic sites is regarded as sufficing for near maximal catalytic rates to be attained. Although three sites do not need to be filled for rapid catalysis, during rapid bisite catalysis some enzyme may be transiently present with three sites filled. Forms with preferential binding for ADP and P(i) or for ATP are considered to arise from the transition state and participate in other steps of the catalysis. Intermediate forms and steps that may be involved are evaluated. Experimental evidence for energy-dependent steps and for control of coupling to proton translocation and transition state forms are reviewed. Impact of relevant past data on present understanding of catalytic events is considered. In synthesis a key step is suggested in which proton translocation begins to deform an open site so as to increase the affinity for ADP and P(i), that then bind and pass through the transition state, and yield tightly bound ATP in one binding change. ADP binding appears to be a key parameter controlling rotation during synthesis. In hydrolysis ATP binding to a loose site likely precedes any proton translocation, with proton movement occurring as the tight site form develops. Aspects needing further study are noted. Characteristics of the related MgADP inhibition of the F(1) ATPases that have undermined many observations are summarized, and relations of three-site filling to catalysis are assessed.

Abstract
The F0F1 ATP synthase is a large multisubunit complex that couples translocation of protons down an electrochemical gradient to the synthesis of ATP. Recent advances in structural analyses have led to the demonstration that the enzyme utilizes a rotational catalytic mechanism. Kinetic and biochemical evidence is consistent with the expected equal participation of the three catalytic sites in the alpha 3 beta 3 hexamer, which operate in sequential, cooperative reaction pathways. The rotation of the core gamma subunit plays critical roles in establishing the conformation of the sites and the cooperative interactions. Mutational analyses have shown that the rotor subunits are responsible for coupling and in doing so transmit specific conformational information between transport and catalysis.

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
The well characterized subunits of the bovine ATP synthase complex are the alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon subunits of the catalytic sector, F1; the ATPase inhibitor protein; and subunits a, b, c, and d, OSCP (oligomycin sensitivity-conferring protein), F6, and A6L, which are present in the membrane sector, F0, and the 45-A-long stalk that connects F1 to F0. It has been shown recently that bovine ATP synthase preparations also contain three small polypeptides, designated e, f, and g, with respective molecular masses of 8.2, 10. 2, and 11.3 kDa. To ascertain their involvement as bona fide subunits of the ATP synthase and to investigate their membrane topography and proximity to the above ATP synthase subunits, polyclonal antipeptide antibodies were raised in the rabbit to the COOH-terminal amino acid residues 57-70 of e, 75-86 of f, and 91-102 of g. It was shown that (i) e, f, and g could be immunoprecipitated with anti-OSCP IgG from a fraction of bovine submitochondrial particles enriched in oligomycin-sensitive ATPase; (ii) the NH2 termini of f and g are exposed on the matrix side of the mitochondrial inner membrane and can be curtailed by proteolysis; (iii) the COOH termini of all three polypeptides are exposed on the cytosolic side of the inner membrane; and (iv) f cross-links to A6L and to g, and e cross-links to g and appears to form an e-e dimer. Thus, the bovine ATP synthase complex appears to have 16 unlike subunits, twice as many as its counterpart in Escherichia coli.

Abstract
The catalytic sector, F1, and the membrane sector, F0, of the mitochondrial ATP synthase complex are joined together by a 45-A-long stalk. Knowledge of the composition and structure of the stalk is crucial to investigating the mechanism of conformational energy transfer between F0 and F1. This paper reports on the near neighbor relationships of the stalk subunits with one another and with the subunits of F1 and F0, as revealed by cross-linking experiments. The preparations subjected to cross-linking were bovine heart submitochondrial particles (SMP) and F1-deficient SMP. The cross-linkers were three reagents of different chemical specificities and different lengths of cross-linking from zero to 10 A. Cross-linked products were identified after gel electrophoresis of the particles and immunoblotting with subunit-specific antibodies to the individual subunits alpha, beta, gamma, delta, OSCP, F6, A6L, a (subunit 6), b, c, and d. The results suggested that the two b subunits form the principal stem of the stalk to which OSCP, d, and F6 are bound independent of one another. Subunits b, OSCP, d, and F6 cross-linked to alpha and/or beta, but not to gamma or delta. The COOH-terminal half of A6L, which is extramembranous, cross-linked to d but not to any other stalk or F1 subunit. No cross-links of subunits a and c with any stalk or F1 subunits were detected. In F1-deficient SMP, cross-linked b+b and d+F6 dimers appeared, and the extent of cross-linking between b and OSCP diminished greatly. The addition of F1 to F1-deficient particles appeared to reverse these changes. Treatment of F1-deficient particles with trypsin rapidly hydrolyzed away OSCP and F6, fragmented b to membrane-bound 18-, 12-, and 8-9-kDa antigenic fragments, which cross-linked to d and/or with one another. Trypsin also removed the COOH-terminal part of A6L, but the remainder still cross-linked to subunit d. Models showing the near neighbor relationships of the stalk subunits with one another and with the alpha and beta subunits at a level near the proximal end (bottom) of F1 and at the membrane-matrix interface are presented.

Abstract
Incubation in the dark of 32P-labeled 2-azido-adenine nucleotides with submitochondrial particles from beef heart led to tight binding of the label by membrane-bound F1. That is, the label remained with the particles following two passages through centrifuge columns. After removal of free nucleotides and ultraviolet irradiation, the radioactive label was covalently bound exclusively to the beta subunit of the ATPase. Extraction of the modified enzyme from the membrane with chloroform followed by tryptic digestion and separation of peptides by reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography indicated that the radioactive label had been inserted into a peptide fragment that included part of the catalytic site. Covalent modification of catalytic sites by 2-azido-ADP was accompanied by parallel inhibition of both ATP synthesis and ATP hydrolysis by submitochondrial particles. Estimation of the likely amount of F1 participating in the reaction and extrapolation to complete inhibition suggested that modification of no more than a single site was sufficient to block both reactions. The results support suggestions of cooperative interactions between catalytic sites as well as a single catalytic pathway for both enzymic reactions.

Abstract
Kinetic models of the F0F1-ATPase able to transport H+ or/and Na+ ions are proposed. It is assumed that (i) H+ and Na+ compete for the same binding sites, (ii) ion translocation through F0 is coupled to the rate-limiting step of the F1-catalyzed reaction. The main characteristics of the dependences of ATP synthesis and hydrolysis rates on delta psi, delta pH, and delta pNa are predicted for various versions of the coupling model. The mechanism of the switchover from delta mu H(+)-dependent synthesis to the delta mu Na(+)-dependent one is demonstrated. It is shown that even with a drastic drop in delta mu H+, ATP hydrolysis by the proton mode of catalysis can be effectively inhibited by delta psi and delta pNa. The results obtained strongly support the possibility that the same F0F1-ATPase in bacterial cells can utilize both delta muH+ and delta muNa+ for ATP synthesis under in vivo conditions.

Abstract
1. The kinetic properties of FoF1-ATPase from submitochondrial particles isolated from rat heart were studied, with emphasis to the pH effect. The velocity data were treated according to the Hill equation, and the results were discussed on the basis of the knowledge on the soluble F1-ATPase properties. 2. Three kinetic phases were observed in the range of pH 6.0-8.5, with apparent dissociation constant values (K0.5) of 0.001, 0.04 and 1.5 mM (respectively sites I, II and III) at pH 7.0. Their contribution to the total activity of the enzyme were pH-dependent on the range of 6.0-7.0, but not from 7.0 to 8.5, where the maximal velocity (V) for site III was some 4-fold larger than for site II, and the total V of sites II and III was some 40-fold larger than V assumed for site I. Therefore, two catalytic sites seem to participate significantly in the catalysis at steady-state condition. 3. Azide increased the sites II and III K0.5 values as well as decreased the site III V. In the presence of bicarbonate these two sites were not distinguishable, and the kinetic parameters at pH 7.0 were similar to those for sites II and III combined. Both azide and bicarbonate did not have a significant effect on site I, and this behavior was not pH-dependent. 4. The studies on the effect of pH on the kinetic parameters showed the following results: (1) the optimum pH for V was around 8.5; (2) decrease in the K0.5 values at pH below 7.0 for site II, and increase at pH over 7.0 for sites II and III; (3) in the pH range of 6.0-8.5 the Hill coefficient increased for site II, decreased for site III, and an intermediary effect was observed for the sites II and III combined, with a Michaelis-Menten behavior in the highest affinity pH, which was found in the physiological range.

Abstract
The F1-ATPase from Micrococcus lysodeikticus is isolated in the absence of exogenous nucleotides. After removing loosely bound nucleotides from the isolated enzyme by gel permeation chromatography, analysis for tightly bound nucleotides revealed in 14 experiments 0.4 +/- 0.1 mol ADP, 0.5 +/- 0.2 mol GDP, and 0.8 +/- 0.2 mol ATP per mol of F1. Incubation of the isolated enzyme with Mg2+ or Ca2+ did not alter the endogenous nucleotide composition of the enzyme, indicating that endogenous ATP is not bound to a catalytic site. Incubation of the enzyme with P(i) decreased the amount of tightly bound ADP and GDP but did not effect the ATP content. Hydrolysis of MgATP in the presence of sulfite raised the tightly bound ADP and lowered tightly bound GDP on the enzyme. In the reciprocal experiment, hydrolysis of MgGTP in the presence of sulfite raised tightly bound GDP and lowered tightly bound ADP. Turnover did not affect the content of tightly bound ATP on the enzyme. These results suggest that endogenous ADP and GDP are bound to exchangeable catalytic sites, whereas endogenous ATP is bound to noncatalytic sites which do not exchange. The presence of endogenous GDP on catalytic sites of isolated F1 suggests that the F0F1-ATP synthase of M. lysodeikticus might synthesize both GTP and ATP under physiological conditions. In support of this hypothesis, we have found that plasma membrane vesicles derived from M. lysodeikticus synthesize [32P]GTP from [32P]P(i) using malate as electron donor for oxidative phosphorylation.
