Subunit alpha of the Escherichia coli F(1)F(O) ATP synthase has been produced, and its low-resolution structure has been determined. The monodispersity of alpha allowed the studies of nucleotide-binding and inhibitory effect of 4-Chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD-Cl) to ATP/ADP-binding. Binding constants (K ( d )) of 1.6 microM of bound MgATP-ATTO-647N and 2.9 microM of MgADP-ATTO-647N have been determined from fluorescence correlation spectroscopy data. A concentration of 51 microM and 55 microM of NBD-Cl dropped the MgATP-ATTO-647N and MgADP-ATTO-647N binding capacity to 50% (IC(50)), respectively. In contrast, no effect was observed in the presence of N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. As subunit alpha is the homologue of subunit B of the A(1)A(O) ATP synthase, the interaction of NBD-Cl with B of the A-ATP synthase from Methanosarcina mazei Gö1 has also been shown. The data reveal a reduction of nucleotide-binding of B due to NBD-Cl, resulting in IC(50) values of 41 microM and 42 microM for MgATP-ATTO-647N and MgADP-ATTO-647N, respectively.
大肠杆菌 F(1)F(O) ATP 合酶的亚基α已被制备,并已确定其低分辨率结构。α的单分散性允许对核苷酸结合和 4-氯-7-硝基苯并呋咱(NBD-Cl)对 ATP/ADP 结合的抑制作用进行研究。荧光相关光谱数据确定了结合的 MgATP-ATTO-647N 的结合常数(K(d))为 1.6 μM,MgADP-ATTO-647N 的结合常数为 2.9 μM。NBD-Cl 的浓度为 51 μM 和 55 μM,将 MgATP-ATTO-647N 和 MgADP-ATTO-647N 的结合能力分别降至 50%(IC(50))。相比之下,在存在 N,N'-二环己基碳二亚胺的情况下,没有观察到任何影响。由于亚基α是 A(1)A(O)ATP 合酶的亚基 B 的同源物,因此还显示了 NBD-Cl 与 Methanosarcina mazei Gö1 的 A-ATP 合酶的 B 之间的相互作用。数据显示,由于 NBD-Cl,B 的核苷酸结合减少,导致 MgATP-ATTO-647N 和 MgADP-ATTO-647N 的 IC(50)值分别为 41 μM 和 42 μM。
