The structure of bovine F1-ATPase inhibited with ADP and beryllium fluoride at 2.0 angstroms resolution contains two ADP.BeF3- complexes mimicking ATP, bound in the catalytic sites of the beta(TP) and beta(DP) subunits. Except for a 1 angstrom shift in the guanidinium of alphaArg373, the conformations of catalytic side chains are very similar in both sites. However, the ordered water molecule that carries out nucleophilic attack on the gamma-phosphate of ATP during hydrolysis is 2.6 angstroms from the beryllium in the beta(DP) subunit and 3.8 angstroms away in the beta(TP) subunit, strongly indicating that the beta(DP) subunit is the catalytically active conformation. In the structure of F1-ATPase with five bound ADP molecules (three in alpha-subunits, one each in the beta(TP) and beta(DP) subunits), which has also been determined, the conformation of alphaArg373 suggests that it senses the presence (or absence) of the gamma-phosphate of ATP. Two catalytic schemes are discussed concerning the various structures of bovine F1-ATPase.
在2.0埃分辨率下,被二磷酸腺苷(ADP)和氟化铍抑制的牛F1 - ATP合酶结构包含两个模拟三磷酸腺苷(ATP)的ADP·BeF₃⁻复合物,它们结合在β(TP)和β(DP)亚基的催化位点上。除了αArg373的胍基有1埃的位移外,两个位点催化侧链的构象非常相似。然而,在水解过程中对ATP的γ - 磷酸进行亲核攻击的有序水分子,在β(DP)亚基中距离铍为2.6埃,在β(TP)亚基中距离铍为3.8埃,这有力地表明β(DP)亚基是具有催化活性的构象。在已确定的结合有五个ADP分子(三个在α亚基中,一个在β(TP)亚基中,一个在β(DP)亚基中)的F1 - ATP合酶结构中,αArg373的构象表明它能感知ATP的γ - 磷酸的存在(或不存在)。讨论了关于牛F1 - ATP合酶各种结构的两种催化机制。
