Abstract
It is shown that ATP dissociates very slowly (k off< 6.4 × 105 s−1, t 3 h) from the three noncatalytic sites of E. coli F1-ATPase and that ADP dissociates from these three sites in a homogeneous fashion with k off = 1.5 × 10−4 s−1 (t = 1.35 h). Mutagenesis of α-subunit residues R171 and Q172 in the ‘glycine-rich loop’ (Homology A) consensus region of the noncatalytic sites was carried out to test the hypothesis that unusually bulky residues at these positions are responsible wholly or partly for the observed tight binding of adenine nucleotides. The mutations αQ172G or αR171S,Q172G had no effects on ATP or ADP binding to or rates of dissociation from F1 noncatalytic sites. K dATP and K dADP of isolated α-subunit were weakened by approximately 1 order of magnitude in both mutants. The results suggest that neither residue αR171 nor αQ172 interacts directly with bound nucleotide, and show that the presence of bulky residues per se in the glycine-rich loop region of F1-α-subunit is not responsible for tight binding in the noncatalytic sites.Keywords
