Transient electrical currents generated by the Na(+)-transporting F(o)F(1)-ATPase of Ilyobacter tartaricus were observed in the hydrolytic and synthetic mode of the enzyme. Two techniques were applied: a photochemical ATP concentration jump on a planar lipid membrane and a rapid solution exchange on a solid supported membrane. We have identified an electrogenic reaction in the reaction cycle of the F(o)F(1)-ATPase that is related to the translocation of the cation through the membrane bound F(o) subcomplex of the ATPase. In addition, we have determined rate constants for the process: For ATP hydrolysis this reaction has a rate constant of 15-30 s(-1) if H(+) is transported and 30-60 s(-1) if Na(+) is transported. For ATP synthesis the rate constant is 50-70 s(-1).
在发酵乳杆菌的Na(+)-转运F(o)F(1)-ATP酶的水解模式和合成模式中观察到了瞬态电流。应用了两种技术:平面脂质膜上的光化学ATP浓度跃变和固体支持膜上的快速溶液交换。我们在F(o)F(1)-ATP酶的反应循环中确定了一种电生反应,该反应与阳离子通过ATP酶的膜结合F(o)亚复合体的转运有关。此外,我们还确定了该过程的速率常数:对于ATP水解,如果转运H(+),该反应的速率常数为15 - 30 s(-1),如果转运Na(+),则为30 - 60 s(-1)。对于ATP合成,速率常数为50 - 70 s(-1)。
