چکیده

The proton pump (H+-ATPase) found in the plasma membrane of the fungus Neurospora crassa is inactivated by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD). Kinetic and labeling experiments have suggested that inactivation at 0 degrees C results from the covalent attachment of DCCD to a single site in the Mr = 100,000 catalytic subunit (Sussman, M. R., and Slayman, C. W. (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 1839-1843). In the present study, when [14C]DCCD-labeled enzyme was treated with the cleavage reagent, N-bromosuccinimide, a single major radioactive peptide fragment migrating at about Mr = 5,300 on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was produced. The fragment was coupled to glass beads and partially sequenced by automated solid-phase Edman degradation at the amino terminus and at an internal tryptic cleavage site. By comparison to the DNA-derived amino acid sequence for the entire Mr = 100,000 polypeptide (Hager, K., and Slayman, C. W. (1986) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 83, 7693-7697), the fragment has been identified as arising by cleavage at tyrosine 100 and tryptophan 141. Covalently incorporated [14C]DCCD was released at a position corresponding to glutamate 129. The DCCD-reactive glutamate is located in the middle of the first of eight predicted transmembrane sequences. When the sequence surrounding the DCCD site is compared to that surrounding the DCCD-reactive residue of two other proton pumps, the F0F1-ATPase and cytochrome c oxidase, no homology is apparent apart from an abundance of hydrophobic amino acids.

Modification of the Neurospora crassa plasma membrane [H+]-ATPase with N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide.

The [H+]-ATPase of the Neurospora plasma membrane is composed of a single Mr = 104,000 polypeptide (B. J. Bowman, F. Blasco, and C. W. Slayman, J. Biol. Chem. (1981) 256, 12343-12349). The carboxyl-modifying reagent N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) inactivates the ATPase with pseudo-first order kinetics, suggesting that one site on the enzyme is involved. The rate constant for inactivation ...

H-ATPase Activity from Storage Tissue of Beta vulgaris: IV. N,N'-Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide Binding and Inhibition of the Plasma Membrane H-ATPase.

The molecular weight and isoelectric point of the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase from red beet storage tissue were determined using N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) and a H(+)-ATPase antibody. When plasma membrane vesicles were incubated with 20 micromolar [(14)C]-DCCD at 0 degrees C, a single 97,000 dalton protein was visualized on a fluorograph of a sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel....

Characterization of plasma membrane adenosine triphosphatase of Neurospora crassa.

It has been proposed (Slayman, C.L., Long W.S., and Lu, C.Y.-H. (1973) J. Membr. Biol. 14, 305--338) that in Neurospora crassa, a plasma membrane ATPase functions to pump H+ ions out of the cell, thereby generating an electrochemical gradient that can drive transport processes. Using the concanavalin A method of Scarborough (Scarborough G.A. (1975)J. Biol. Chem. 250, 1106--1111), we have prepar...

The dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-binding protein of the mitochondrial ATPase complex from Neurospora crassa and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Identification and isolation.

Incubation of mitochondria from Neurospora crassa and Saccharomyces cerevisiae with the radioactive ATPase inhibitor [14C]dicyclohexylcarbodiimide results in the irreversible and rather specific labelling of a low-molecular-weight polypeptide. This dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-binding protein is identical with the smallest subunit (Mr 8000) of the mitochondrial ATPase complex, and it occurs as olig...

Purification and characterization of the plasma membrane ATPase of Neurospora crassa.

The plasma membrane of Neurospora crassa contains a proton-translocating ATPase, which functions to generate a large membrane potential and thereby to drive a variety of H+-dependent co-transport systems. We have purified this ATPase by a three-step procedure in which 1) loosely bound membrane proteins are removed by treatment with 0.1% deoxycholate; 2) the ATPase is solubilized with 0.6% deoxy...
