Metal interactions with beef heart mitochondrial ATPase.

S G Daggett, K J Gruys, S M Schuster

    The Journal of Biological Chemistry
    |May 25, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Beef heart mitochondrial ATPase (F1) has three primary metal binding sites, two specific for magnesium and one interchangeable. These sites are crucial for enzyme function and regulation.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Enzymology
    • Bioenergetics

    Background:

    • Mitochondrial ATPase (F1) is essential for cellular energy production.
    • Understanding metal ion interactions with F1 is key to elucidating its catalytic mechanism.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To characterize the metal binding sites on beef heart mitochondrial ATPase (F1).
    • To investigate the role of metal ions in F1 enzyme activity and nucleotide binding.

    Main Methods:

    • Atomic absorption spectroscopy
    • Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy
    • Enzyme kinetics
    • Chemical modification (dicyclohexylcarbodiimide)

    Main Results:

    • Identified three distinct metal binding sites on F1: two tight Mg2+ specific sites and one easily exchangeable site.
    • The interchangeable site can bind Mn2+, Co2+, or Zn2+.
    • A fourth metal binding site is revealed upon incubation with MgAMP-PNP.
    • Carboxyl group modification does not affect tightly bound metal interactions.
    • EPR studies at different pH values elucidated metal site properties and interactions.

    Conclusions:

    • F1 possesses multiple metal binding sites with distinct properties influencing catalysis.
    • Metal ions play a regulatory role in F1 activity and are linked to nucleotide binding.
    • Different metal ions and nucleotides interact with specific sites on the F1 enzyme.
