Mueller DM, Indyk V, McGill L: ATPase kinetics for wild-type Saccharomyces cerevisiae F1-ATPase and F1-ATPase with the beta-subunit Thr197--> Ser mutation. Eur J Biochem. 1994 Jun 15;222(3):991-9.
Unisite ATPase kinetic constants were measured for wild-type yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae F1-ATPase and F1-ATPase with the Thr197--> Ser mutation in the beta subunit. Under unisite conditions, the concentration of ATP is greater than that of the enzyme, ATP hydrolysis is slow and the affinity of the enzyme for ATP and ADP is high. The Thr197--> Ser mutation in the yeast F1-ATPase increases the specific activity of ATP hydrolysis threefold and makes the enzyme much less sensitive to azide and oxyanions [Mueller, D. M. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 16552-16556]. A unifying hypothesis is that the affinity of F1-ATPase for ADP is altered by azide, oxyanions and the Thr197--> Ser mutation. To address this hypothesis, kinetic and thermodynamic constants were measured for the wild-type and mutant enzymes in the absence and presence of azide and oxyanions. The results indicate that sulfite and azide do not significantly alter unisite thermodynamic binding constants of either enzyme for ADP at the catalytic site. The mutation Thr197--> Ser has little effect on the binding constant for ADP, or on other unisite kinetic constants of the enzyme, in the presence or absence of azide or oxyanions. However, the binding of ADP to the enzyme was affected by oxyanions and the Thr197--> Ser mutation as measured by determining the KiADP values for multisite ATPase activity (saturating ATP). The Ki for ADP on ATPase activity was measured for the wild-type and mutant enzymes in the presence and absence of sulfite under multisite conditions. Sulfite increases the KiADP values for ATP hydrolysis under multisite conditions approximately threefold for the wild-type and mutant enzymes and the Thr197--> Ser mutation increases KiADP ninefold. The effect of sulfite on KiADP is additive to the effect of the Thr197--> Ser mutation, suggesting that these are distinct effects. These results indicate that the effects of azide, oxyanions, and the Thr197--> Ser mutation on the biochemistry of F1-ATPase are limited primarily to multisite conditions. Both sulfite and the Thr197--> Ser mutation decrease the affinity of the enzyme for ADP, as measured by the increase in the Ki values. Furthermore, the mechanisms of activation by sulfite and the Thr197--> Ser mutations are different. This difference occurs despite their common biochemical consequences on the apparent affinity for ADP. |
