Abstract
We have characterized the respiratory system of the aerobic actinomycete Nonomuraea sp. ATCC 39727. The plasma membrane of the microorganism is shown to contain a protonmotive respiratory chain and H+-ATPase. The respiratory chain is made up of a rotenone-sensitive NADH-quinone oxidoreductase, a four subunits aa3-type cytochrome c oxidase and a bc1 complex. The H+-ATPase is characterized as an F0F1-type on the basis of its sensitivity to specific inhibitors; the enzyme is also inhibited by mM concentrations of Ca2+. The activity of the respiratory chain increases during the exponential growth phase, but is depressed in the stationary phase. The H+-ATPase activity reaches, as the respiratory chain, a maximal activity at the end of the exponential growth phase and then remains constant in the stationary phase.

Abstract
Two conserved charged amino acids of the N-terminal 'crown' region of the alpha subunit of E. coli-F(1), alpha-D36 and alpha-R40 were exchanged for chemically related (alpha-D36-->E, alpha-R40-->K) or unrelated amino acids (alpha D-36-->K, alpha R40-->G), respectively, by employing oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis. ATP formation and ATP hydrolyzing activity of isolated plasma membrane vesicles was strongly inhibited in mutant HS2 (alpha-D36-->K), but only slightly affected in the other mutants. The inhibition is not due to a lower content of F0F1 in HS2. In this mutant the extent of the proton gradient generated by ATP hydrolysis was more than 80% inhibited; in all other transformants much smaller effects were observed. The proton gradient established by NADH oxidation was 33% decreased in HS2, but was decreased to a lesser extent in all other mutants. After blockage of F0 by DCCD treatment, the same NADH-induced proton gradient was obtained in all transformants including HS2. This and the fact that the activity of NADH oxidation was unchanged indicate increased proton leakiness of F0F1 carrying the alpha-D36-->K mutation. In F1 alpha-D36 is located in a domain contacting the beta subunit in the vicinity of the arginine beta-R52. The effect of alpha-D36-->K replacement on catalysis and coupling thus may be due to an electrostatic repulsive effect in the crown region which alters the alpha and beta interaction.

Abstract
We examined the cellular effects after the expression of the cloned lysis gene E of bacteriophage phi X174. Chloramphenicol prevented lysis only when added within the first minute of derepression of E synthesis, indicating that a time lag of several minutes exists between the synthesis of the E protein and the onset of cell lysis. Experiments with protonophores showed the existence of a subsequent step dependent on proton motive force at about 3 to 5 min before lysis.

Abstract
To determine the kinetic mechanism of galactoside active transport by the lactose/H+ cotransporter of Escherichia coli, galactoside binding and transport are studied in the absence and presence of delta mu H+. For several reasons, the substrate beta-D-galactosyl-1-thi-beta-D-galactoside (GalSGal) is preferred over lactose. In the absence of delta mu H+, the cotransporter retains high affinity for GalSGal, and the affinity is the same on both sides of the membrane. At physiological pH, the cotransporter is protonated and the dissociation constant for H+ may be 50 pM. The cosubstrates bind in a random fashion. An isomerization of the cotransporter corresponding to reorientation of the binding sites is rate-determining. When delta mu H+ is imposed, two reorientations become faster, and one becomes slower. The affinity of the cotransporter for GalSGal on both sides of the membrane is unchanged. The inability of the cotransporter to bring the accumulation of galactoside into equilibrium with delta mu H+ at high galactoside concentrations can be explained without postulating uncoupled fluxes of galactoside or H+ across the membrane (leaks). The formation of the ternary carrier-H+-galactoside complex on the cytoplasmic side of the membrane with increasing internal levels of sugar and the rapidity of galactoside exchange inhibit net influx of galactoside and favor exchange. Net transport is slow at high galactoside levels. Thus, the cotransporter can self-regulate transport without uncoupling H+ and galactoside fluxes. Because the values of delta mu H+ during binding and transport studies were measured, these results can be subjected to a quantitative analysis.

Abstract
The phs mutation of Escherichia coli has been suggested to affect the Na+/H+ antiport (D. Zilberstein, E. Padan, and S. Schuldiner, FEBS Lett. 168:327-330, 1980). We have recently shown that the mutation affects the rpoA gene and thus affects transcription. The extent of the pleiotropy of the phs mutation was investigated. In addition to the previously reported growth defect on L-glutamate and melibiose, the mutation also affects at least two other metabolic systems. The transport and metabolism of arabinose is impaired and the transport of sulfate is reduced. The extent to which the effects of the phs mutation on metabolism are due to a defect in the Na+/H+ antiport was investigated, and no causal role for this transport system in the metabolic defects was found.

Abstract
The addition of T1 to cells growing at 37 degrees C in a minimal medium at 0.4 mM Mg2+ rapidly induced an irreversible loss of K+ and Mg2+ and uptake of Na+ by the cells. Both the ATP pool of the cells and the transmembrane proton motive force were reduced. These cells did not lyse from within, since viral DNA replication and the maturation of the 36,000-molecular-weight phage head protein were inhibited. By contrast, cells lysed when infected at 5.4 mM Mg2+. In these cells, T1 initially induced K+ efflux and Na+ influx and lowered the cytoplasmic ATP concentration. After a few minutes, the cation gradients and ATP pool were restored to levels close to that of control cells. At 5.4 mM Mg2+, the shutoff of host protein synthesis was delayed and coincided with the restoration of the ATP pool. In an ATP synthase-negative mutant, infection with T1 did not affect the cytoplasmic ATP concentration but inhibited host protein synthesis with the same rate as it did in wild-type cells.

Abstract
It is possible to select transmembrane potential (delta psi)-altered mutants in Streptococcus pneumoniae on the basis of their resistance to the antifolate methotrexate. Comparison of such a mutant strain ( amiA9 ) with its parent was used to evaluate the role of delta psi in the uptake of certain amino acids. The delta psi-dependent uptake of isoleucine, leucine, valine, and asparagine showed a reduced maximum velocity of uptake, and decrease in the transport constant of the energy-dependent, delta psi-independent uptake of lysine, methionine, and glutamine was observed. No reduction of the intracellular pool of ATP or of lactate excretion could be detected in the mutant strain. Moreover, studies on membrane preparations suggest that the phenotype expressed by the amiA mutation is not a consequence of alteration of its ATPase activity or susceptibility to N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Therefore, it is unlikely that the amiA mutation affects the H+ F1F0 ATPase which is involved in the establishment of the proton motive force in anaerobic bacteria. We propose that another function contributes to delta psi in S. pneumoniae. The amiA gene may be the structural gene of that function.

Abstract
Mutations in the H+-translocating ATPase complex (F1F0) of Escherichia coli have been described in which aspartyl-61 of the omega subunit ( uncE protein) is substituted by either glycine ( uncE105 ) or asparagine ( uncE107 ). Either substitution blocks the H+-translocation activity of the F0 sector of the complex. Here we report a difference in the effects of the two substitutions on the coupled ATPase activity of F1 bound to F0. Wild-type F1 was bound to the F0 of either mutant with affinities comparable to wild-type. The ATPase activity of F1 bound to uncE107 F0 was inhibited by 50%, whereas that bound to uncE105 F0 was not inhibited. Complementation studies with a pBR322-derived plasmid that carried the E gene of the unc operon only indicated that a single mutation in the host strain was responsible for the respective phenotypes. In mutants complemented by the uncE + plasmid, restoration of wild-type biochemical properties was only partial and may be attributed to a mixing of wild-type and mutant omega subunits in a hybrid F0 complex. The activity of membrane-bound F1 was less inhibited in the uncE +/ uncE107 hybrid. Paradoxically, complementation of uncE105 by the uncE + plasmid resulted in substantial inhibition of the activity of membrane-bound F1. The results indicate that a glycine-versus-asparagine substitution for aspartyl-61 must lead to altered conformations of omega and that these differences in conformation are important in the coupling between the F0 and F1 sectors of the complex.

Abstract
The eight subunits of the H+-ATPase of Escherichia coli are coded by the genes of the unc operon, which maps between bglB and asnA. A collection of unc mutations were transferred via P1 transduction into a strain in which lambda cI857 S7 was inserted into bglB. The lambda phage was induced, and asnA+ transducing phage that carried unc were selected. Transducing phage carrying mutations in the uncA, B, D, E, and F genes were used for complementation analysis with a collection of unc mutants, including mutants which had been reported previously but not genetically characterized. Some mutations gave a simple complementation pattern, indicating a single defective gene, whereas other mutations gave more complex patterns. Two mutants (uncE105 and uncE107) altered in the proteolipid (omega) subunit of F0 were not complemented by any of the lambda unc phage, even though both mutants had a fully functional F1 ATPase and therefore normal A and D genes. Hence, only limited conclusions can be drawn from genetic complementation alone, since it cannot distinguish normal from abnormal genes in certain classes of unc mutants. The lambda unc phage proved to be essential in characterizing several mutants defective in F0-mediated H+ translocation. The unc gene products were overproduced by heat induction of the lysogenized lambda unc phage to determine whether all the F0 subunits were in the membrane. Two mutants that gave a simple complementation pattern, indicative of one defective gene, did not assemble a three-subunit F0. The uncB108 mutant was shown to lack the chi subunit of F0 but to retain psi and omega. Trace amounts of an altered omega subunit and normal amounts of chi and psi were found in the uncE106 mutant. A substitution of aspartate for glycine at residue 58 of the protein was determined by DNA sequence analysis of the uncE gene cloned from the lambda uncE106 phage DNA. One of the omega-defective, noncomplementing mutants (uncE107) was shown to retain all three F0 subunits. The uncE gene from this mutant was also sequenced to confirm an asparagine-for-aspartate substitution at position 61 (the dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-binding site) of the omega subunit.

Abstract
The amino acid substitutions in the mutant c-subunits of Escherichia coli F1F0-ATPase coded for by the uncE429, uncE408 and uncE463 alleles affect the incorporation of these proteins into the cell membrane. The DNA sequence of the uncE429 allele differed from normal in that a G leads to A base change occurred at nucleotide 68 of the uncE gene, resulting in glycine being replaced by aspartic acid at position 23 in the c-subunit. The uncE408 and uncE463 mutant DNA sequences were identical and differed from normal in that a C leads to T base change occurred at nucleotide 91 of the uncE gene, resulting in leucine being replaced by phenylalanine at position 31 in the c-subunit. An increased gene dosage of the uncE408 or uncE463 alleles resulted in the incorporation into the membranes of the mutant c-subunits. The results are discussed in terms of the 'Helical Hairpin Hypothesis' of Engelman & Steitz [(1981) Cell 23,411-422].

Proton translocation activity of Candida tropicalis plasma membrane ATPase has been demonstrated using a fluorescent delta pH probe (ACMA) and by direct pH measurements. Modifications in fluorescence intensity and H+ transport are highly specific for Mg2+ and ATP, and are sensitive to the well-known inhibitors of the plasma membrane ATPase, vanadate and DCCD. A H+/ATP ratio of 0.54 is found.

Abstract
A procedure for the reconstitution of the lactose carrier protein, a galactoside:proton symporter in Escherichia coli, is described. Starting from cytoplasmic membranes derived from carrier-overproducing strains, essentially all proteins including 89% of the carrier are solubilized by a mixture of dodecyl/tetradecyl polyoxyethylene (n = 9.5) ether and dodecyl O-beta-D-maltoside. In the micellar state the carrier binds substrates with reduced affinity. Addition of E. coli phospholipids and removal of detergents by a hydrophobic column yields small vesicles (50-60-nm diameter). In these vesicles, about 70% of the carrier is recovered and reconstituted carrier is identical to native carrier in terms of substrate binding. After fusion of the small vesicles into larger vesicles (1-5 micrometers), rapid countertransport of galactosides is demonstrated. Attempts to show active galactoside transport by the imposition of artificial electrical potential or pH gradients were unsuccessful, most likely because the reconstituted vesicles are in fact highly permeable to protons.

Abstract
We report studies in which we have used N-(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidyl-l-oxyl)-N' -cyclohexylcarbodiimide, a spinlabel analogue of N,N' -dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, to investigate the structural aspects of the cytochrome c oxidase proton pump. We establish that the spin label binds to the reconstituted enzyme at the same site as does N,N' -dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, i.e., within subunit III. ESR studies of the bound spin label indicate that its binding site is situated in an apolar region of the enzyme, though close to its surface. The binding of the spin label to the free oxidase is different form that with the reconstituted enzyme, leading to spin-spin exchange between the bound probe molecules. From this and the fact that N,N' -dicyclohexylcarbodiimide binds to subunits III and IV in the free oxidase, we conclude that these two subunits are at the most 20 A apart.

Abstract
Bacteriophage Mu was inserted into the unc genes of Escherichia coli. The resulting mutation AS12 had a polar effect on the unc operon: membranes of the mutant AS12 contained the dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-binding protein c and the protein a as sole subunits of the ATP synthase. It was shown by peptide mapping and amino acid analysis of the fragments that protein c from mutant AS12 was identical with the wild-type protein c. The absence of subunit b in mutant AS12 drastically lowered the H+ conduction dependent on the membrane-integrated moiety (F0) of the ATP synthase. This suggests that both subunits b and c are necessary for an efficient expression of H+ conduction.

Abstract
The mechanism of action of the uncoupler picrate on intact cells and everted membrane vesicles of Escherichia coli K-12 was investigated. Like in mitochondria [Hanstein, W. G. and Hatefi, Y. (1974) Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA, 71, 288-292], it was observed that picrate uncoupled energy-linked functions only in everted, but not in intact membrane systems. In the vesicles picrate also decreased the magnitude of the transmembrane proton-motive force at concentrations similar to those at which it caused uncoupling. Experiments with 14C-labelled picrate showed that this compound bound both to deenergized intact cells and everted vesicles. However, upon energization of the membrane, picrate was extruded from the intact cell and taken up to a larger extent by the vesicles. These energy-dependent changes in picrate uptake correlated with the magnitude of the transmembrane electrical potential, delta psi. It is therefore proposed that picrate is a permeant uncoupler, that delta psi is the driving force for picrate movement across biological membranes, and that the uncoupling activity of picrate in everted membrane systems is due to its protonophoric action.

The strain, P. aeruginosa PAO2401 had increased resistance to all aminoglycosides tested but exhibited no change for other antibiotics. The mutation designated aglA (aminoglycoside resistance) was 50% cotransducible with the 8-min ilvB,C marker on the P. aeruginosa chromosome. It showed a marked reduction in cytochrome c(552) and nitrate reductase (Nar) and a change in terminal oxidase activity. Cytochrome c(552) is a component of the P. aeruginosa Nar. No changes in succinate and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dehydrogenases, ubiquinone content, Mg(2+)/Ca(2+) membrane adenosine triphosphatase, and energy coupling of electron transport to adenosine 5'-triphosphate synthesis were detected. Transport of gentamicin and dihydrostreptomycin was impaired in PAO2401, but transport of proline, arginine, glutamine, glucose or the polyamine spermidine was not reduced. Ribosomes of PAO2401, and PAO503 bound dihydrostreptomycin equally well, and cell extracts did not inactivate gentamicin or dihydrostreptomycin. Strain PAO2401 is resistant to gentamicin and dihydrostreptomycin because of impaired transport of these compounds. The transport studies indicate a selective coupling of dihydrostreptomycin and gentamicin transport with terminal electron transport. This conclusion was supported by results from another mutant (PAO417-T2) with increased Nar activity, enhanced dihydrostreptomycin and gentamicin transport and a reduction in resistance to these drugs. These results are discussed in relation to a refined model for aminoglycoside transport and briefly relative to plasmid-mediated aminoglycoside resistance.

Abstract
In Escherichia coli wild-type cells and in ATPase-deficient cells (unc mutants), glucose was found to be transported mainly by an ATP-driven system. The evidence is based on experiments involving interference at different sites of energy metabolism with the use of uncouplers, arsenate, and starved cells. Furthermore, addition of succinate to starved cells increased glucose uptake only in the wild-type cells, where ATP could be regenerated. Glucose transport was also ATP-dependent in cells deficient in methyl-beta-galactoside transport (a system that carries glucose specificity). It was found to be shock-sensitive in all strains tested. The NOVEL ATP-driven glucose transport is a high-affinity (Km 3-10 microM) and high-capacity (V 240-330 Mmol . min-1 . mg cell protein-1) uptake system.

Abstract
The ATP synthetase of Escherichia coli K12 was purified by a simple procedure. The dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-sensitive ATPase activity was enriched 21-fold. The ATP synthetase preparation contained the eight polypeptides (alpha, beta, gamma, a,delta, b,espilon, c) of the enzyme and a residual contamination (4% of the total protein) as shown by dodecylsulfate/polyacrylamide electrophoresis. The polypeptide c was specifically labelled with [14C]dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Energy-transducing activities were reconstituted from soybean phospholipids and the purified enzyme. The proteoliposomes exhibited a significantly higher ATP-32Pi exchange activity and a higher proton-translocating activity as compared to the untreated membranes.

Abstract
A technique for selecting mutants of Escherichia coli in which the proton-translocating sector of the adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) complex has been inactivated is reported. The procedure uses a strain of E. coli (NR-70) lacking the extrinsic (F1) sector of the ATPase complex and which in consequently permeable to protons (B. P. Rosen, J. Bacteriol. 116:1124--1129, 1973). After growing strain NR-70 under noninducing conditions for the lac operon, cells were mutagenized and plated on minimal medium containing low concentrations of lactose. Several mutants of strain NR-70 were isolated as large colonies on these plates, apparently because they could concentrate lactose more efficiently. A description of one of the mutants, strain KW-1, is reported here. The most distinguishing difference in growth properties of the two strains was that, when transferred to medium containing low concentrations of lactose, strain KW-1 induced the lac operon with a shorter lag time than strain NR-70. The mutation in strain KW-1 leading to more rapid growth on lactose was cotransducible with the asn and unc loci, at 83 min on the E. coli genetic map. Intact cells of strain KW-1 actively transported L-proline as well as did wild-type cells, whereas cells of strain NR-70 were markedly deficient in L-proline transport. The improvement in the transport capacity of strain KW-1 correlated with a marked decrease in proton permeability relative to that of strain NR-70. Based on an acid-base pulse technique that measured the proton conductance of the membranes of intact cells, strain NR-70 was at least 10 times more permeable to protons than was the wild type, whereas strain KW-1 was only 2 times more permeable. The transport properties and proton conductance were also compared with membrane vesicles prepared by osmotic shock. With either D-lactate or ascorbate-N-methylphenazonium methosulfate as respiratory substrates, vesicles of strain KW-1 transported L-proline much more rapidly than did vesicles of strain NR-70, but still at rates less rapid than those of the wild type. The passive proton conductance of the membrane vesicles was quantitated by measuring the rate of H+ influx into vesicles in response to a valinomycin-generated K+ diffusion potential. The proton permeability of vesicles of strain KW-1 was reduced 1.5-fold relative to vesicles of strain NR-70, but these vesicles were still four times more permeable to protons than was the wild type. Vesicles of strain KW-1 corresponded to wild-type vesicles treated with 0.5 micrometer carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) and vesicles of strain NR-70 corresponded to wild-type vesicles treated with 1.4 micrometer CCCP. Treatment of wild-type vesicles with these concentrations of CCCP caused decreases in transport comparable to those observed in the mutants. Strain KW-1 lacked ATPase activity. Cross-reacting material to F1-ATPase was not found in strain KW-1 by double immunodiffusion analysis.

Abstract
Protein I, one of the major outer membrane proteins of E. coli in most K12 strains is represented by two very similar polypeptides Ia and Ib. Sequential mutations (involving selections for phage resistance) can lead to loss of proteins Ia and Ib. Among "revertants" of such Ia-Ib- mutants clones exist that instead of Ia or Ib produce a third species of protein I, polypeptide Ic. Ichihara and Mizushima [J. Biochem. 83, 1095--1100 (1978)] have shown that proteins Ia and Ib exhibit differences in primary structure. Here evidence is presented indicating that protein Ic also is not identical in primary structure with Ia or Ib. Thus, 3 very similar structural genes appear to exist for the protein I species known to date, and that for Ic normally is silent. Introduction of a functional Ic locus into a Ia+ Ib+ strain caused expression of all three proteins with a reduced rate of synthesis of protein Ia.

Abstract
A mutation affecting the intrinsic membrane portion (BFo) of the ATP synthetase complex is described. The phenotype is different from previously reported BFo mutants. This mutation results in the ability of membranes lacking the extrinsic membrane portion (BF1) of the ATP synthetase complex to maintain a transmembrane pH gradient. Unlike other BFo mutants, this strain, NR71, is capable of utilizing ATP hydrolysis for the formation of a transmembrane pH gradient.

Abstract
1. The inactive ATPases of four different mutant strains of Escherichia coli have been purified to homogeneity. 2. Molecular weights, subunit patterns in sodium dodecylsulfate electrophoresis and immunological properties of mutant and wild-type proteins are identical. The mutant enzymes compete with the wild-type enzyme for the binding sites on the membrane. 3. On freezing and thawing in salt solutions, the ATPase is split into subunits IA (alpha, gamma, epsilon), IB (delta; alpha, gamma, epsilon), and II (beta). By complementation in vitro of the isolated subunits, it is shown that subcomplex IA (alpha, gamma, epsilon) is altered in the mutant strains described here.

Abstract
Energy-transducing adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) from Escherichia coli is inhibited by aurovertin. Aurovertin-resistant mutants were generated by nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis of E. coli AN180, whose growth on a nonfermentable carbon source was blocked by aurovertin. The ATPase activity of cell extracts from 15 different mutants (designated MA1, MA2, MA3, etc.) was found to be at least 20 times less sensitive to aurovertin than that from the parent strain. The aurovertin-resistant mutants did not show cross-resistance towards a number of ATPase inhibitors including azide, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, quercetin, 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzofurazan, and N-ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline. Aurovertin inhibited the energization brought about by addition of ATP to E. coli AN180 membrane vesicles; it was without effect on MA1 and MA2 membrane vesicles energized by ATP. The mutation in MA1, like other mutations of the ATPase complex, maps in the unc region of the bacterial chromosome.

Abstract
Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-resistant mutants of Escherichia coli were isolated and characterized In one mutant the unc genes and affects the membrane-integrated part of the ATP synthetase. The sensitivity of ATP synthetase functions to N,N' -dicyclohexylcarbodiimide was compared in wild-type and mutant membranes. The membrane-integrated part of the wild-type ATP synthetase is highly sensitive to ATP-dependent membrane energization and restoration of lactate-dependent energization of ATPase-depleted membranes. In mutant membranes this concentration has only a slight effect on these activities whereas a severe inhibition is obtained at 200 muM. Using the highly water-soluble 1-ethyl-3(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide theactivities of wild-type and mutant membranes are inhibited to the same extent. TheATP synthetase of wild-type and mutant was partially purified and incorporated muM. Uinto liposomes. These showed an uncoupler-sensitive ATP-32Pi exchange and ATP-dependent quenching of acridine-dye fluorescence. The activities of mutant and wild-type proteoliposomes exhibit the same pattern of sensitivity to dicyclohexylcarbodiimide as the corresponding membranes.
