چکیده

Repeated extraction of bovine heart submitochondrial particles with ammonia and EDTA (AE) yields a preparation that is highly deficient in coupling factor B (FB). The activity of the thrice extracted particle (AE-P3) in ATP-driven NAD+ reduction by succinate and the 32Pi-ATP exchange activity were substantially stimulated, 8-fold and 5-fold, respectively, by purified FB. To decrease the basal activity of the particle further, the residual FB in AE-P3 was inactivated by treatment with the -SH reagent, 4-vinylpyridine. The resulting particle was depleted of F1 by treatment with 3.5 M NaBr. This particle was incorporated into asolectin liposomes alone and in the presence of added FB. Passive proton conduction in the FB-deficient proteoliposomes was negligible and restored in the presence of FB. The H+ conductance was inhibited extensively by oligomycin and partially by F1-ATPase. The results show absolute dependence on FB for functioning of the FO proton channel.

Evidence for the involvement of coupling factor B in the H+ channel of the mitochondrial H+-ATPase.

Membrane energization by ATP has been measured in vesicles containing purified bovine heart mitochondrial H+-ATPase (ATP synthase) with the voltage-sensitive dye oxonol VI. The dithiol chelator, Cd2+, and the thiol oxidant, copper o-phenanthroline, produced discharge of the membrane potential when added at the steady state and inhibited its establishment when added prior to energization by ATP....

ATP synthase complex from bovine heart mitochondria. Passive H+ conduction through F0 does not require oligomycin sensitivity-conferring protein.

Oligomycin sensitivity-conferring protein (OSCP) is a water-soluble subunit of bovine heart mitochondrial H(+)-ATPase (F1-F0). In order to investigate the requirement of OSCP for passive proton conductance through mitochondrial F0, OSCP-depleted membrane preparations were obtained by extracting purified F1-F0 complexes with 4.0 M urea. The residual complexes, referred to as UF0, were found to b...

Up-regulation of plasma membrane H+-ATPase under salt stress may enable Aeluropus littoralis to cope with stress

Plasma membrane H+-ATPase is a major integral membrane protein with a role in various physiological processes including abiotic stress response. To study the effect of NaCl on the expression pattern of a gene encoding the plasma membrane H+-ATPase, an experiment was carried out in a completely random design with three replications. A pair of specific primers was designed based on the sequence o...

Heavy metal regulation of plasma membrane H+-ATPase gene expression in halophyte Aeluropus littoralis

The present study was conducted to find the effect of three heavy metals, Ag, Hg and Pb on the expression level of a gene encoding plasma membrane H+-ATPase in Aeluropus littoralis. The experiment was laid out in a completely random design with three replications. The expression of the main gene was normalized to the expression of the housekeeping gene actin. Two 259 and 187 bp fragments were a...
