Abstract
The effect of guanidinium hydrochloride (GdnHCl) on multisite and unisite ATPase activity by F0F1 of submitochondrial particles from bovine hearts was studied. In particles without control by the inhibitor protein, 50 mM GdnHCl inhibited multisite hydrolysis by about 85%; full inhibition required around 500 mM. In the range of 500-650 mM, GdnHCl enhanced the rate of unisite catalysis by promoting product release; it also increased the rate of hydrolysis of ATP bound to the catalytic site without GdnHCl. GdnHCl diminished the affinity of the enzyme for aurovertin. The effects of GdnHCl were irreversible. The results suggest that disruption of intersubunit contacts in F0F1 abolishes multisite hydrolysis and stimulates of unisite hydrolysis. Particles under control by the inhibitor protein were insensitive to concentrations of GdnHCl that induce the aforementioned alterations of F0F1 free of inhibitor protein, indicating that the protein stabilizes the global structure of particulate F1.

Abstract
Acetaldehyde oxidation by enzymes and cellular fractions has been previously shown to produce radicals that have been characterized as superoxide anion, hydroxyl, and acetyl radicals. Here, we report that acetaldehyde metabolism by xanthine oxidase, submitochondrial particles and whole rats produces both the acetyl and the methyl radical, although only the latter was unambiguously identified in vivo. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) characterization of both radicals was possible by the use of two spin traps, 5,5-dimethyl 1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) and alpha-(4-pyridyl 1-oxide)-N-t-butylnitrone (POBN), and of acetaldehyde labeled with (13)C. The POBN-acetyl radical adduct proved to be unstable, but POBN was employed to monitor acetaldehyde metabolism by Sprague-Dawley rats because previous studies have shown its usefulness for in vivo spin trapping. EPR analysis of the bile collected from treated and control rats showed the presence of the POBN-methyl and of an unidentified, biomolecule-derived, POBN adduct. Because decarbonylation of the acetyl radical is one of the routes for methyl radical formation from acetaldehyde, detection of the latter in bile provides strong evidence for the production of both radicals in vivo. The results may be relevant to understanding the toxic effects of acetaldehyde itself and of its more relevant biological precursor, ethanol.

Abstract
Ca2+ and P(i) accumulation by mitochondria triggers a number of alterations leading to nonspecific increase in inner membrane permeability [Kowaltowski, A. J., et al. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 2929-2934]. The molecular nature of the membrane perturbation that precedes oxidative damage is still unknown. EPR spectra of spin probes incorporated in submitochondrial particles (SMP) and in model membranes suggest that Ca(2+)-cardiolipin (CL) complexation plays an important role. Ca(2+)-induced lipid domain formation was detected in SMP but not in mitoplasts, in SMP extracted lipids, or in CL-containing liposomes. The results were interpreted in terms of Ca2+ sequestration of CL tightly bound to membrane proteins, in particular the ADP-ATP carrier, and formation of CL-enriched strongly immobilized clusters in lipid shells next to boundary lipid. The in-plane lipid and protein rearrangement is suggested to cause increased reactive oxygen species production in succinate-supplemented, antimycin A-poisoned SMP, favoring the formation of carbon-centered radicals, detected by EPR spin trapping. Removal of tightly bound CL is also proposed to cause protein aggregation, facilitating intermolecular thiol oxidation. Lipid peroxidation was also monitored by the disappearance of the nitroxide EPR spectrum. The decay was faster for nitroxides in a more hydrophobic environment, and was inhibited by butylated hydroxytoluene, by EGTA, or by substituting Mg2+ for Ca2+. In addition, Ca2+ caused an increase in permeability, evidenced by the release of carboxyfluorescein from respiring SMP. The results strongly support Ca2+ binding to CL as one of the early steps in the molecular mechanism of Ca(2+)-induced nonspecific inner mitochondrial membrane permeabilization.

Abstract
The dissociation constant (KdATP) for ATP bound in the high affinity catalytic site of membrane-bound beef heart mitochondrial ATPase (F1) was calculated from the ratio of the rate constants for the reverse dissociation step (k-1) and the forward binding step (k+1). k-1 for ATP bound to submitochondrial particles or to submitochondrial particles washed with KCl so as to activate ATPase activity was accelerated by about five orders of magnitude during respiratory chain-linked oxidations of NADH. In the presence of NADH and 0.1 mM ADP, k-1 increased more than six orders of magnitude. These energy-dependent dissociations of ATP were sensitive to the uncoupler carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethyloxyphenylhydrazone. Only small changes in k+1 were observed in the presence of NADH or NADH and ADP. KdATP at 23 degrees C in the absence of NADH and ADP was 10(-12) M, in the presence of NADH, 3 microM, and in the presence of NADH and 0.1 mM ADP, 60 microM. Thus, the dissociation of ATP during the transition from non-energized to energized states was, under these conditions, accompanied by observed free energy changes of 8 and 9.7 kcal/mol, respectively.

Abstract
The effect of trifluoperazine (TFP) on the ATPase activity of soluble and particulate F1-ATPase and on ATP synthesis driven by succinate oxidation in submitochondrial particles from bovine heart was studied at pH 7.4 and 8.8. At the two pH, TFP inhibited ATP hydrolysis. Inorganic phosphate protected against the inhibiting action of TFP. The results on the effect of various concentrations of phosphate in the reversal of the action of TFP on hydrolysis at pH 7.4 and 8.8 showed that H2PO4- is the species that competes with TFP. The effect of TFP on oxidative phosphorylation was studied at concentrations that do not produce uncoupling or affect the aerobic oxidation of succinate (< 15 microM). TFP inhibited oxidative phosphorylation to a higher extent at pH 8.8 than at pH 7.4; this was through a diminution in the Vmax, and an increase in the Km for phosphate. Data on phosphate uptake during oxidative phosphorylation at several pH showed that H2PO4- is the true substrate for oxidative phosphorylation. Thus, in both synthesis and hydrolysis of ATP, TFP and H2PO4- interact with a common site. However, there is a difference in the sensitivity to TFP of ATP synthesis and hydrolysis; this is more noticeable at pH 8.8, i.e., ATPase activity of soluble F1 remains at about 40% of the activity of the control in a concentration range of TFP of 40-100 microM, whereas in oxidative phosphorylation 14 microM TFP produces a 60% inhibition of phosphate uptake.

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
Peptide analogs which correspond to the conserved region of the natural ATPase inhibitor protein from beef heart, Candida utilis, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondria were synthesized by solid-phase methodologies and tested for ATPase inhibitory activity. These peptides were found to be potent inhibitors of F1-ATPase-catalyzed ATP hydrolysis in acidic reaction media, having I50 values of 1.1 +/- 0.4 microM, 10 +/- 5 microM, and 48 +/- 19 microM, respectively. These results closely match those obtained for the naturally occurring inhibitor proteins. Additional peptides that correspond to the beef heart beta-subunit near the binding site of the beef heart inhibitor protein and that possess a substantial homology with the conserved region of the inhibitor protein were synthesized. Several of these peptides were found to be inhibitors of the ATPase activity. The best inhibitor, with an I50 value of 20 +/- 3 microM, was the peptide resembling the beef heart beta-subunit comprising amino acids 394-413. This peptide most closely resembles the peptides derived from the conserved region of the inhibitor protein. The insertion of five glycine residues between the charge clusters in the beta-394-413 peptide resulted in a peptide which was able to stimulate the hydrolysis of ATP.

Abstract
The binding of ATP radiolabeled in the adenine ring or in the gamma- or alpha-phosphate to F1-ATPase in complex with the endogenous inhibitor protein was measured in bovine heart submitochondrial particles by filtration in Sephadex centrifuge columns or by Millipore filtration techniques. These particles had 0.44 +/- 0.05 nmol of F1 mg-1 as determined by the method of Ferguson et al. [(1976) Biochem. J. 153, 347]. By incubation of the particles with 50 microM ATP, and low magnesium concentrations (less than 0.1 microM MgATP), it was possible to observe that 3.5 mol of [gamma-32P]ATP was tightly bound per mole of F1 before the completion of one catalytic cycle. With [gamma-32P]ITP, only one tight binding site was detected. Half-maximal binding of adenine nucleotides took place with about 10 microM. All the bound radioactive nucleotides were released from the enzyme after a chase with cold ATP or ADP; 1.5 sites exchanged with a rate constant of 2.8 s-1 and 2 with a rate constant of 0.45 s-1. Only one of the tightly bound adenine nucleotides was released by 1 mM ITP; the rate constant was 3.2 s-1. It was also observed that two of the bound [gamma-32P]ATP were slowly hydrolyzed after removal of medium ATP; when the same experiment was repeated with [alpha-32P]ATP, all the label remained bound to F1, suggesting that ADP remained bound after completion of ATP hydrolysis. Particles in which the natural ATPase inhibitor protein had been released bound tightly only one adenine nucleotide per enzyme.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The membrane F0 sector of mitochondrial ATP synthase complex was rapidly isolated by direct extraction with CHAPS from F1-depleted submitochondrial particles. The preparation thus obtained is stable and can be reconstituted in artificial phospholipid membranes to result in oligomycin-sensitive proton conduction, or recombined with purified F1 to give the oligomycin-sensitive F0F1-ATPase complex. The F0 preparation and constituent polypeptides were characterized by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblot analysis. The functional role of F0 polypeptides was examined by means of trypsin digestion and reconstitution studies. It is shown that, in addition to the 8 kDa DCCD-binding protein, the nuclear encoded protein [(1987) J. Mol. Biol. 197, 89-100], characterized as an intrinsic component of F0 (F0I, PVP protein [(1988) FEBS Lett. 237,9-14]) [corrected] is involved in H+ translocation and the sensitivity of this process to the F0 inhibitors, DCCD and oligomycin.

Abstract
ATPase activities were measured in 10 mM MgCl2, 5 mM ATP, 1 mM ADP, and 1 microM FCCP with submitochondrial particles from bovine heart that had been stimulated by delta mu H+-forming substrates and with particles whose natural inhibitor protein was partially removed by heating. The activities were not linear with time. With both particles, the rate of ATP hydrolysis in the 7-fold greater than that in the steady state. Pre-steady-state and steady-state kinetic studies showed that the decrease of ATPase activity was due to the binding of ADP in a high-affinity site of the enzyme (K0.5 of 10 microM). Inhibition of ATP hydrolysis was accompanied by the binding of approximately 1 mol of ADP/mol of particulate F1; 10 microM ADP gave half-maximal binding. ADP could be replaced by IDP, but with an affinity 50-fold lower (K0.5 of 0.5 mM). Maximal inhibition by ADP and IDP was achieved in less than 5 s. Inhibition was enhanced by uncouplers. Even in the presence of pyruvate kinase and phosphoenolpyruvate, the rates of hydrolysis were about 2.5-fold higher in the first seconds of reaction than in the steady state. This decrease of ATPase activity also correlated with the binding of nearly 1 mol of ADP/mol of F1. This inhibitory ADP remained bound to the enzyme after several thousand turnovers. Apparently, it is possible to observe maximal rates of hydrolysis only in the first few catalytic cycles of the enzyme.

Abstract
The effect and the binding of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) to a soluble native F1-ATPase-inhibitor protein complex (F1-IP) isolated from heart mitochondria was studied. About one mol DCCD bound per mol F1-IP complex; this inhibited its ATPase activity by more than 95%, ever under conditions that led to maximal hydrolysis. Bound DCCD localized to beta-subunits of the F1-IP complex. Cross-linking of the DCCD labeled complex with N-(ethoxy-carbonyl)-2-ethoxydihydroquinoline yielded a protein with a Mr 65,000-67,000 that contained IP as evidenced by its reaction with IP antibodies. No alpha-subunits were detected in this cross-linked product. The Mr 65,000-67,000 protein corresponds to beta-subunits cross-linked with IP (Klein et al, Biochemistry 1980; 19, 2919-2925). However, no DCCD was found in the cross-linked beta-subunit-IP product of labeled native F1-IP. Thus the beta-subunit in contact with IP is distinct from the other two beta-subunits of the enzyme.

Abstract
A brief survey is made of the function of the H+-ATP synthase of mitochondria with emphasis on how it is regulated. A main regulatory factor is a low molecular weight protein whose binding to the enzyme appears to be essential for optimal accumulation of ATP as driven by electron transport. The ATP synthase is also controlled by ADP that, by binding to a site in the enzyme, inhibits ATP hydrolysis. Data on the spontaneous synthesis of a tightly bound ATP are discussed. Apparently, this requires proper subunit interactions to yield a competent catalytic site.
