ATP-binding affinity of the ? subunit of thermophilic F1-ATPase under label-free conditions.

ABSTRACT: The ? subunits of several bacterial F1-ATPases bind ATP. ATP binding to the ? subunit has been shown to be involved in the regulation of F1-ATPase from thermophilic Bacillus sp. PS3 (TF1). We previously reported that the dissociation constant for ATP of wild-type ? subunit of TF1 at 25 °C is 4.3 ?M by measuring changes in the fluorescence of the dye attached to the ? subunit (Kato, S. et al. (2007) J. Biol. Chem. 282, 37618). However, we have recently noticed that this varies with the dye used. In this report, to determine the affinity for ATP under label-free conditions, we have measured the competitive displacement of 2'(3')-O-N'-methylaniloyl-aminoadenosine-5'-triphosphate (Mant-ATP), a fluorescent analog of ATP, by ATP. The dissociation constant for ATP of wild-type ? subunit of TF1 at 25 °C was determined to be 0.29 ?M, which is one order of magnitude higher affinity than previously reported values.

Structures of the thermophilic F1-ATPase epsilon subunit suggesting ATP-regulated arm motion of its C-terminal domain in F1.

Project description:The epsilon subunit of bacterial and chloroplast F(o)F(1)-ATP synthases modulates their ATP hydrolysis activity. Here, we report the crystal structure of the ATP-bound epsilon subunit from a thermophilic Bacillus PS3 at 1.9-A resolution. The C-terminal two alpha-helices were folded into a hairpin, sitting on the beta sandwich structure, as reported for Escherichia coli. A previously undescribed ATP binding motif, I(L)DXXRA, recognizes ATP together with three arginine and one glutamate residues. The E. coli epsilon subunit binds ATP in a similar manner, as judged on NMR. We also determined solution structures of the C-terminal domain of the PS3 epsilon subunit and relaxation parameters of the whole molecule by NMR. The two helices fold into a hairpin in the presence of ATP but extend in the absence of ATP. The latter structure has more helical regions and is much more flexible than the former. These results suggest that the epsilon C-terminal domain can undergo an arm-like motion in response to an ATP concentration change and thereby contribute to regulation of F(o)F(1)-ATP synthase.

The regulator of the F1 motor: inhibition of rotation of cyanobacterial F1-ATPase by the epsilon subunit.

Project description:The chloroplast-type F(1) ATPase is the key enzyme of energy conversion in chloroplasts, and is regulated by the endogenous inhibitor epsilon, tightly bound ADP, the membrane potential and the redox state of the gamma subunit. In order to understand the molecular mechanism of epsilon inhibition, we constructed an expression system for the alpha(3)beta(3)gamma subcomplex in thermophilic cyanobacteria allowing thorough investigation of epsilon inhibition. epsilon Inhibition was found to be ATP-independent, and different to that observed for bacterial F(1)-ATPase. The role of the additional region on the gamma subunit of chloroplast-type F(1)-ATPase in epsilon inhibition was also determined. By single molecule rotation analysis, we succeeded in assigning the pausing angular position of gamma in epsilon inhibition, which was found to be identical to that observed for ATP hydrolysis, product release and ADP inhibition, but distinctly different from the waiting position for ATP binding. These results suggest that the epsilon subunit of chloroplast-type ATP synthase plays an important regulator for the rotary motor enzyme, thus preventing wasteful ATP hydrolysis.

Conformational transitions of subunit epsilon in ATP synthase from thermophilic Bacillus PS3.

Project description:Subunit epsilon of bacterial and chloroplast F(O)F(1)-ATP synthase is responsible for inhibition of ATPase activity. In Bacillus PS3 enzyme, subunit epsilon can adopt two conformations. In the "extended", inhibitory conformation, its two C-terminal alpha-helices are stretched along subunit gamma. In the "contracted", noninhibitory conformation, these helices form a hairpin. The transition of subunit epsilon from an extended to a contracted state was studied in ATP synthase incorporated in Bacillus PS3 membranes at 59 degrees C. Fluorescence energy resonance transfer between fluorophores introduced in the C-terminus of subunit epsilon and in the N-terminus of subunit gamma was used to follow the conformational transition in real time. It was found that ATP induced the conformational transition from the extended to the contracted state (half-maximum transition extent at 140 microM ATP). ADP could neither prevent nor reverse the ATP-induced conformational change, but it did slow it down. Acid residues in the DELSEED region of subunit beta were found to stabilize the extended conformation of epsilon. Binding of ATP directly to epsilon was not essential for the ATP-induced conformational change. The ATP concentration necessary for the half-maximal transition (140 microM) suggests that subunit epsilon probably adopts the extended state and strongly inhibits ATP hydrolysis only when the intracellular ATP level drops significantly below the normal value.

The structural basis of a high affinity ATP binding ε subunit from a bacterial ATP synthase.

Project description:The ε subunit from bacterial ATP synthases functions as an ATP sensor, preventing ATPase activity when the ATP concentration in bacterial cells crosses a certain threshold. The R103A/R115A double mutant of the ε subunit from thermophilic Bacillus PS3 has been shown to bind ATP two orders of magnitude stronger than the wild type protein. We use molecular dynamics simulations and free energy calculations to derive the structural basis of the high affinity ATP binding to the R103A/R115A double mutant. Our results suggest that the double mutant is stabilized by an enhanced hydrogen-bond network and fewer repulsive contacts in the ligand binding site. The inferred structural basis of the high affinity mutant may help to design novel nucleotide sensors based on the ε subunit from bacterial ATP synthases.

Modulation of nucleotide specificity of thermophilic F(o)F(1)-ATP Synthase by epsilon-subunit.

Project description:The C-terminal two ?-helices of the ?-subunit of thermophilic Bacillus F(o)F(1)-ATP synthase (TF(o)F(1)) adopt two conformations: an extended long arm ("up-state") and a retracted hairpin ("down-state"). As ATP becomes poor, ? changes the conformation from the down-state to the up-state and suppresses further ATP hydrolysis. Using TF(o)F(1) expressed in Escherichia coli, we compared TF(o)F(1) with up- and down-state ? in the NTP (ATP, GTP, UTP, and CTP) synthesis reactions. TF(o)F(1) with the up-state ? was achieved by inclusion of hexokinase in the assay and TF(o)F(1) with the down-state ? was represented by ??c-TF(o)F(1), in which ? lacks C-terminal helices and hence cannot adopt the up-state under any conditions. The results indicate that TF(o)F(1) with the down-state ? synthesizes GTP at the same rate of ATP, whereas TF(o)F(1) with the up-state ? synthesizes GTP at a half-rate. Though rates are slow, TF(o)F(1) with the down-state ? even catalyzes UTP and CTP synthesis. Authentic TF(o)F(1) from Bacillus cells also synthesizes ATP and GTP at the same rate in the presence of adenosine 5'-(?,?-imino)triphosphate (AMP-PNP), an ATP analogue that has been known to stabilize the down-state. NTP hydrolysis and NTP-driven proton pumping activity of ??c-TF(o)F(1) suggests similar modulation of nucleotide specificity in NTP hydrolysis. Thus, depending on its conformation, ?-subunit modulates substrate specificity of TF(o)F(1).

Modification of the mitochondrial F1-ATPase epsilon subunit, enhancement of the ATPase activity of the IF1-F1 complex and IF1-binding dependence of the conformation of the epsilon subunit.

Project description:Treatment of bovine heart submitochondrial particles with a low concentration of 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl bromide (HNB), a selective reagent for the Trp residue of the epsilon subunit [Baracca, Barogi, Lenaz and Solaini (1993) Int. J. Biochem. 25, 1269-1275], enhances the ATP hydrolytic activity of the particles exclusively when the natural inhibitor protein IF1 is present. Similarly, isolated F1 [the catalytic sector of the mitochondrial H+-ATPase complex (ATP synthase)] treated with the reagent has the ATPase activity enhanced exclusively if IF1 is bound to it. These experiments suggest that the modification of the epsilon subunit decreases the inhibitory activity of IF1, eliciting the search for a relationship between the epsilon subunit and the inhibitory protein. Certainly, a reverse relationship exists because HNB binds covalently to the isolated F1 exclusively when the inhibitory protein is present. This finding is consistent with the existence of the epsilon subunit in different conformational states depending on whether IF1 is bound to F1 or not. Support for this assertion is obtained by measurements of the intrinsic phosphorescence decay rate of F1, a probe of the Trp epsilon subunit conformation in situ [Solaini, Baracca, Parenti-Castelli and Strambini (1993) Eur. J. Biochem. 214, 729-734]. A significant difference in phosphorescence decay rate is detected when IF1 is added to preparations of F1 previously devoid of the inhibitory protein. These studies indicate that IF1 and the epsilon subunit of the mitochondrial F1-ATPase complex are related, suggesting a possible role of the epsilon subunit in the mechanism of regulation of the mitochondrial ATP synthase.

Mechanism of the αβ conformational change in F1-ATPase after ATP hydrolysis: free-energy simulations.

Project description:One of the motive forces for F1-ATPase rotation is the conformational change of the catalytically active β subunit due to closing and opening motions caused by ATP binding and hydrolysis, respectively. The closing motion is accomplished in two steps: the hydrogen-bond network around ATP changes and then the entire structure changes via B-helix sliding, as shown in our previous study. Here, we investigated the opening motion induced by ATP hydrolysis using all-atom free-energy simulations, combining the nudged elastic band method and umbrella sampling molecular-dynamics simulations. Because hydrolysis requires residues in the α subunit, the simulations were performed with the αβ dimer. The results indicate that the large-scale opening motion is also achieved by the B-helix sliding (in the reverse direction). However, the sliding mechanism is different from that of ATP binding because sliding is triggered by separation of the hydrolysis products ADP and Pi. We also addressed several important issues: 1), the timing of the product Pi release; 2), the unresolved half-closed β structure; and 3), the ADP release mechanism. These issues are fundamental for motor function; thus, the rotational mechanism of the entire F1-ATPase is also elucidated through this αβ study. During the conformational change, conserved residues among the ATPase proteins play important roles, suggesting that the obtained mechanism may be shared with other ATPase proteins. When combined with our previous studies, these results provide a comprehensive view of the β-subunit conformational change that drives the ATPase.

Improved crystallization of Escherichia coli ATP synthase catalytic complex (F1) by introducing a phosphomimetic mutation in subunit ε.

Project description:The bacterial ATP synthase (F(O)F(1)) of Escherichia coli has been the prominent model system for genetics, biochemical and more recently single-molecule studies on F-type ATP synthases. With 22 total polypeptide chains (total mass of ∼529 kDa), E. coli F(O)F(1) represents nature's smallest rotary motor, composed of a membrane-embedded proton transporter (F(O)) and a peripheral catalytic complex (F(1)). The ATPase activity of isolated F(1) is fully expressed by the α(3)β(3)γ 'core', whereas single δ and ε subunits are required for structural and functional coupling of E. coli F(1) to F(O). In contrast to mitochondrial F(1)-ATPases that have been determined to atomic resolution, the bacterial homologues have proven very difficult to crystallize. In this paper, we describe a biochemical strategy that led us to improve the crystallogenesis of the E. coli F(1)-ATPase catalytic core. Destabilizing the compact conformation of ε's C-terminal domain with a phosphomimetic mutation (εS65D) dramatically increased crystallization success and reproducibility, yielding crystals of E. coli F(1) that diffract to ∼3.15 Å resolution.

A model for the cooperative free energy transduction and kinetics of ATP hydrolysis by F1-ATPase.

Project description:Although the binding change mechanism of rotary catalysis by which F1-ATPase hydrolyzes ATP has been supported by equilibrium, kinetic, and structural observations, many questions concerning the function remain unanswered. Because of the importance of this enzyme, the search for a full understanding of its mechanism is a key problem in structural biology. Making use of the results of free energy simulations and experimental binding constant measurements, a model is developed for the free energy change during the hydrolysis cycle. This model makes possible the development of a kinetic scheme for ATP hydrolysis by F1-ATPase, in which the rate constants are associated with specific configurations of the beta subunits. An essential new element is that the strong binding site for ADP,Pi is shown to be the betaDP site, in contrast to the strong binding site for ATP, which is betaTP. This result provides a rationale for the rotation of the gamma subunit, which induces the cooperativity required for a tri-site binding change mechanism. The model explains a series of experimental data, including the ATP concentration dependence of the rate of hydrolysis and catalytic site occupation for both the Escherichia coli F1-ATPase (EcF1) and Thermophilic Bacillus PS3 F1-ATPase (TF1), which have different behavior.

On the mechanism of ATP hydrolysis in F1-ATPase.

Project description:Most of the cellular ATP in living organisms is synthesized by the enzyme F(1)F(o)-ATP synthase. The water soluble F(1) part of the enzyme can also work in reverse and utilize the chemical energy released during ATP hydrolysis to generate mechanical motion. Despite the availability of a large amount of biochemical data and several x-ray crystallographic structures of F(1), there still remains a considerable lack of understanding as to how this protein efficiently converts the chemical energy released during the reaction ATP + H(2)O --> ADP + P(i) into mechanical motion of the stalk. We report here an ab initio QM/MM study of ATP hydrolysis in the beta(TP) catalytic site of F(1). Our simulations provide an atomic level description of the reaction path, its energetics, and the interaction of the nucleotide with the protein environment during catalysis. The simulations suggest that the reaction path with the lowest potential energy barrier proceeds via nucleophilic attack on the gamma-phosphate involving two water molecules. Furthermore, the ATP hydrolysis reaction in beta(TP) is found to be endothermic, demonstrating that the catalytic site is able to support the synthesis of ATP and does not promote ATP hydrolysis in the particular conformation studied.
