Loss of protection by nucleotides against proteolysis and thiol modification in the isolated alpha-subunit from F1 ATPase of Escherichia coli mutant uncA401.

ABSTRACT: Binding of nucleotides to the high-affinity site of the isolated alpha subunit of normal Escherichia coli F1 adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) results in partial protection against digestion by trypsin [Senda, Kanazawa, Tsuchiya & Futai (1983) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 220, 398-440]. In contrast, the isolated alpha subunit from the defective ATPase of the E. coli uncA401 mutant (strain AN120) is cleaved by trypsin to peptides of less than 8000 Da in the presence of ADP or ATP (2.5 microM-110 mM). The nucleotide-dependent accessibility of thiol groups of the isolated alpha subunit was also studied. Two out of four thiol groups of the alpha subunit from normal ATPase are labelled by fluorescent maleimides or iodoacetates, but in the presence of ADP or ATP (0.14-1.2 mM), reaction of thiol groups with these labels is almost absent. Mutant alpha subunit, however, is labelled by these reagents at all four thiol groups in the presence or absence of ADP or ATP (1 mM). These results suggest that the mutation in the ATPase of strain AN120 leads either to the loss of the high-affinity nucleotide-binding site or affects transmission of allosteric changes that occur on binding of nucleotide to the isolated alpha subunit.

? subunit of Bacillus subtilis F1-ATPase relieves MgADP inhibition.

Project description:MgADP inhibition, which is considered as a part of the regulatory system of ATP synthase, is a well-known process common to all F1-ATPases, a soluble component of ATP synthase. The entrapment of inhibitory MgADP at catalytic sites terminates catalysis. Regulation by the ? subunit is a common mechanism among F1-ATPases from bacteria and plants. The relationship between these two forms of regulatory mechanisms is obscure because it is difficult to distinguish which is active at a particular moment. Here, using F1-ATPase from Bacillus subtilis (BF1), which is strongly affected by MgADP inhibition, we can distinguish MgADP inhibition from regulation by the ? subunit. The ? subunit did not inhibit but activated BF1. We conclude that the ? subunit relieves BF1 from MgADP inhibition.

How subunit coupling produces the gamma-subunit rotary motion in F1-ATPase.

Project description:F(o)F(1)-ATP synthase manufactures the energy "currency," ATP, of living cells. The soluble F(1) portion, called F(1)-ATPase, can act as a rotary motor, with ATP binding, hydrolysis, and product release, inducing a torque on the gamma-subunit. A coarse-grained plastic network model is used to show at a residue level of detail how the conformational changes of the catalytic beta-subunits act on the gamma-subunit through repulsive van der Waals interactions to generate a torque that drives unidirectional rotation, as observed experimentally. The simulations suggest that the calculated 85 degrees substep rotation is driven primarily by ATP binding and that the subsequent 35 degrees substep rotation is produced by product release from one beta-subunit and a concomitant binding pocket expansion of another beta-subunit. The results of the simulation agree with single-molecule experiments [see, for example, Adachi K, et al. (2007) Cell 130:309-321] and support a tri-site rotary mechanism for F(1)-ATPase under physiological condition.

Asymmetric structure of the yeast F1 ATPase in the absence of bound nucleotides.

Project description:The crystal structure of nucleotide-free yeast F(1) ATPase has been determined at a resolution of 3.6 A. The overall structure is very similar to that of the ground state enzyme. In particular, the beta(DP) and beta(TP) subunits both adopt the closed conformation found in the ground state structure despite the absence of bound nucleotides. This implies that interactions between the gamma and beta subunits are as important as nucleotide occupancy in determining the conformational state of the beta subunits. Furthermore, this result suggests that for the mitochondrial enzyme, there is no state of nucleotide occupancy that would result in more than one of the beta subunits adopting the open conformation. The adenine-binding pocket of the beta(TP) subunit is disrupted in the apoenzyme, suggesting that the beta(DP) subunit is responsible for unisite catalytic activity.

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.

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 dynamics of the F1-ATPase beta-subunit: a molecular dynamics study.

Project description:According to the different nucleotide occupancies of the F(1)-ATPase beta-subunits and due to the asymmetry imposed through the central gamma-subunit, the beta-subunit adopts different conformations in the crystal structures. Recently, a spontaneous and nucleotide-independent closure of the open beta-subunit upon rotation of the gamma-subunit has been proposed. To address the question whether this closure is dictated by interactions to neighbored subunits or whether the open beta-subunit behaves like a prestressed "spring," we report multinanosecond molecular dynamics simulations of the isolated beta-subunit with different start conformations and different nucleotide occupancies. We have observed a fast, spontaneous closure motion of the open beta(E)-subunit, consistent with the available x-ray structures. The motions and kinetics are similar to those observed in simulations of the full (alpha beta)(3)gamma-complex, which support the view of a prestressed "spring," i.e., that forces internal to the beta(E)-subunit dominate possible interactions from adjacent alpha-subunits. Additionally, nucleotide removal is found to trigger conformational transitions of the closed beta(TP)-subunit; this provides evidence that the recently resolved half-closed beta-subunit conformation is an intermediate state before product release. The observed motions provide a plausible explanation why ADP and P(i) are required for the release of bound ATP and why gamma-depleted (alpha beta)(3) has a drastically reduced hydrolysis rate.

Essential Role of the ? Subunit for Reversible Chemo-Mechanical Coupling in F1-ATPase.

Project description:F1-ATPase is a rotary motor protein driven by ATP hydrolysis. Among molecular motors, F1 exhibits unique high reversibility in chemo-mechanical coupling, synthesizing ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate upon forcible rotor reversal. The ? subunit enhances ATP synthesis coupling efficiency to > 70% upon rotation reversal. However, the detailed mechanism has remained elusive. In this study, we performed stall-and-release experiments to elucidate how the ? subunit modulates ATP association/dissociation and hydrolysis/synthesis process kinetics and thermodynamics, key reaction steps for efficient ATP synthesis. The ? subunit significantly accelerated the rates of ATP dissociation and synthesis by two- to fivefold, whereas those of ATP binding and hydrolysis were not enhanced. Numerical analysis based on the determined kinetic parameters quantitatively reproduced previous findings of two- to fivefold coupling efficiency improvement by the ? subunit at the condition exhibiting the maximum ATP synthesis activity, a physiological role of F1-ATPase. Furthermore, fundamentally similar results were obtained upon ? subunit C-terminal domain truncation, suggesting that the N-terminal domain is responsible for the rate enhancement.

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.

Deciphering Intrinsic Inter-subunit Couplings that Lead to Sequential Hydrolysis of F1-ATPase Ring.

Project description:Rotary sequential hydrolysis of the metabolic machine F1-ATPase is a prominent manifestation of high coordination among multiple chemical sites in ring-shaped molecular machines, and it is also functionally essential for F1 to tightly couple chemical reactions and central ?-shaft rotation. High-speed AFM experiments have identified that sequential hydrolysis is maintained in the F1 stator ring even in the absence of the ?-rotor. To explore the origins of intrinsic sequential performance, we computationally investigated essential inter-subunit couplings on the hexameric ring of mitochondrial and bacterial F1. We first reproduced in stochastic Monte Carlo simulations the experimentally determined sequential hydrolysis schemes by kinetically imposing inter-subunit couplings and following subsequent tri-site ATP hydrolysis cycles on the F1 ring. We found that the key couplings to support the sequential hydrolysis are those that accelerate neighbor-site ADP and Pi release upon a certain ATP binding or hydrolysis reaction. The kinetically identified couplings were then examined in atomistic molecular dynamics simulations at a coarse-grained level to reveal the underlying structural mechanisms. To do that, we enforced targeted conformational changes of ATP binding or hydrolysis to one chemical site on the F1 ring and monitored the ensuing conformational responses of the neighboring sites using structure-based simulations. Notably, we found asymmetrical neighbor-site opening that facilitates ADP release upon enforced ATP binding. We also captured a complete charge-hopping process of the Pi release subsequent to enforced ATP hydrolysis in the neighbor site, confirming recent single-molecule analyses with regard to the role of ATP hydrolysis in F1. Our studies therefore elucidate both the coordinated chemical kinetics and structural dynamics mechanisms underpinning the sequential operation of the F1 ring.

Inhibition of F1-ATPase rotational catalysis by the carboxyl-terminal domain of the ? subunit.

Project description:Escherichia coli ATP synthase (F0F1) couples catalysis and proton transport through subunit rotation. The ? subunit, an endogenous inhibitor, lowers F1-ATPase activity by decreasing the rotation speed and extending the duration of the inhibited state (Sekiya, M., Hosokawa, H., Nakanishi-Matsui, M., Al-Shawi, M. K., Nakamoto, R. K., and Futai, M. (2010) Single molecule behavior of inhibited and active states of Escherichia coli ATP synthase F1 rotation. J. Biol. Chem. 285, 42058-42067). In this study, we constructed a series of ? subunits truncated successively from the carboxyl-terminal domain (helix 1/loop 2/helix 2) and examined their effects on rotational catalysis (ATPase activity, average rotation rate, and duration of inhibited state). As expected, the ? subunit lacking helix 2 caused about ½-fold reduced inhibition, and that without loop 2/helix 2 or helix 1/loop 2/helix 2 showed a further reduced effect. Substitution of ?Ser(108) in loop 2 and ?Tyr(114) in helix 2, which possibly interact with the ? and ? subunits, respectively, decreased the inhibitory effect. These results suggest that the carboxyl-terminal domain of the ? subunit plays a pivotal role in the inhibition of F1 rotation through interaction with other subunits.
